HI98230 and HI98240 contain infrared transmitting circuitry.
Ensure there is not any logging process active.
Press RANGE to set the meter to time or date mode and simply place
your data-logger on a HI9200 Infrared Transmitter (ensuring that
the two infrared LEDs are placed on top of each other) and the
memory content can then be downloaded to your PC through the
HI9200's RS232 port. Just ensure that baud rate on instrument
(setup code 50) and on PC downloading program are set to the same
value.
During the data transfer the instrument
displays the message "r 232".
To stop communication, press RANGE to display the reading (pH or
mV or temperature) or take the meter out of the transmitter when it
is not displaying "r232".
Using the HI9200 Infrared Transmitter, all recorded data can be fed
to your Personal Computer for easy reproduction, storage or elabora-
tion without the interference of cables or cords between the meter and
the transmitter.
Data transmission from the instrument to the PC is now much easier
with new HI92000 Windows
®
compatible application software offered
by Hanna Instruments.
HI92000 allows to use the powerful capabilities of most spread sheet
programs (e.g. Excel
©
, Lotus 1-2-3
©
). Simply open the file down-
loaded by HI92000 from the spread sheet program and then it is
possible to make any elaboration available with software (e.g.
graphics, statistic analysis).
User friendly, HI92000 offers a variety of features and has an on-line-
help to support the user throughout any situation.
To install HI92000 you need a 3.5" drive and a few minutes to follow
the instructions conveniently printed on the disk label.

The meter checks if the time-out time has
expired every time it is turned on. In the
case the time has run out, the message "Cal
date" scrolls across the LCD. The "DATE" sym-
bol will blink as a reminder.
Alarm time-out is also signaled in the GLP
data printout through the "Dt" symbol after
the calibration date.
GLP AND RS232
All the GLP data can be retrieved from a PC through the RS232
communication feature. The calibration data are transferred to the
computer along with measurement data for analysis and verification
(see "Data transfer to PC" paragraph).
HI 98230 and HI 98240 are factory programmed to automatically
diagnose a fault and to display error codes on the LCD.
PRINTER ERROR
Whenever a printer fault condition is detected, the printer stops and
the message "Printer error" scrolls across the upper LCD with the error
code (see below) fixed on the secondary one.
1 = Motor locked
2 = Printer clutch jammed
3 = Selection lever fault
I

C BUS ERROR
In case of an I
2
C bus fatal error due for example to a defective
EEPROM or RTC, the message "Serial bus error" keeps scrolling across
LCD from right to left indefinitely. Meter should be returned for repair
(see warranty section).
