HI 93640 is a compact, easy to carry meter with a convenient wrist-wrap. The built-in thin film capacitance sensor assures accurate humidity measurements from 5.0 to 95.0% RH with a resolution of 0.1%. The RH probe contains both the sensor and the electronic circuitry necessary to amplify the RH as well as the temperature readings. Another electronic circuit converts the amplified signal into a digital readout in % Relative Humidity. Note: The RH probe sensor must never come into contact with water or other liquids. HI 8564 comes supplied with: HI 70601/2, detachable relative Humidity probe and a 9V battery. HI 93640 comes supplied with a 9V battery. 1 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF HI 8564 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF HI93640 1 2 7 °C H 1 2 3 ins rum n s V 8 9 10 11 12 °C ins rum n s e 3 4 5 H THERMOHYGROMETER ON OFF RANGE: RH% 5 to 95 °C 0 to 60 °F 32 to 140 e V HI 8564 thermo hygrometer RH% ON OFF 4 5 6 7 6 °F R ANGE S °C RH% 13 RH% 10 °C 0 °F 32 .... .... .... 95 60 140 °F °C HI93640 1) DIN socket for Relative Humidity/Temp.

Whenever the probe is to be used in a dusty or smoky environment, the filter must be kept on at all times. TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS Simply press the °C or °F keys to take the temperature readings directly from the same probe. Note: Press °C key to display the temperature in °C. °C "°C" is displayed when measuring temperature in degrees Centigrade. ON OFF Turn the meter on by pressing the ON/OFF key. ON OFF EXAMPLE: A temperature reading taken in degrees Centigrade would read: °C °C Using the HI 8564 or HI 93640 thermo-hygrometer is simple. However, the recommendations below should always be followed. RELATIVE HUMIDITY MEASUREMENTS · The end of the humidity detector should be exposed to a current of air moving at 0.5 m (20") per second or more. · In the absence of air movement, the response can be accelerated by moving the probe. · The probe sensor must never come into contact with water or other liquids. If this should happen, or if condensation causes drops to form on the surface of the humidity sensor, turn off the instrument and wait until the liquid has evaporated completely. In order to accelerate the evaporation process, the humidity sensor could be exposed to a current of air. For HI 93640 only: in order to obtain a faster response, the sintered filter should 6 Press °F key to read the same value in degrees Fahrenheit: °F °F If you experience any problems in taking measurements, please contact your dealer or the nearest Hanna Instruments Customer Service Department. 7 CALIBRATION All Hanna hygrometers have been precalibrated at the factory. Hanna Instruments uses state-of-the-art thermal humidity chambers for this purpose. It is generally recommended to have all hygrometers recalibrated at least once a year. For an accurate annual recalibration, contact your nearest Hanna Service Center. You can also check the status of your HI 8564 and perform a quick recalibration (with an accuracy of ±5%) by using the Hanna mini-calibration chambers HI 7101. The kits are composed of two thermally isolated chambers, each one equipped with a threaded cap and three bottles containing the appropriate precalibrated saturated salts to produce a known RH value. Li Cl 11.1% Na Cl 75.4% · When the salt has dissolved completely, add all the content of the second bottle of HI 7111. · Allow the solution obtained to cool, and then pour it into the chamber marked "RH 11.1%", making sure that no residue remains on the walls of the glass container. Li Cl 11.1% Na Cl 75.4% CALIBRATION KIT · Seal the chamber well when not in use, as the LiCl solution is extremely hygroscopic and tends to capture the humidity present in the air causing the solution to expand in volume and to overflow from the container. H 2 CALIBRATION KIT Preparing the (HI 8564 only): Calibration Solutions O H2 · Pour approximately 12 cc of distilled water into the other chamber marked "RH 75.4%". Li Cl 11.1% Na Cl 75.4% CALIBRATION KIT · Pour approximately 26 cc of distilled water into a glass container. 26 cc · Immerse this container into a bath of ice and water and shake briefly. · Slowly add the contents of a HI 7111 bottle containing LiCl into the glass container while continuing to shake. 8 · Add all the content of the HI 7121 bottle containing NaCl while continuously shaking the container to avoid the formation of lumps. Seal this container well when not in use. The calibration kit needs 4 hours for stabilization. Li Cl 11.1% Na Cl 75.4% CALIBRATION KIT Li C l 12 9 3 6 9 l Li C O 12 cc Na Cl 4h RH Calibration Procedure (HI 8564 only): · Bring the calibration kit to a temperature of approximately 20°C. · Remove the cap from the "RH 11.1%" chamber containing the LiCl solution and insert the probe paying attention not to tip it into the liquid. · Remove the cap from the "RH 75.4%" chamber containing the NaCl solution and insert the probe. Li Cl 11.1% Na Cl 75.4% CALIBRATION KIT Li Cl 11.1% Na Cl 75.4% CALIBRATION KIT · Wait for the measurement to stabilize (approximately 4 hours) 12 9 3 6 4h · Remove the adhesive sticker which covers the calibration trimmer access holes. ON OFF · Turn the high humidity trimmer until the readout on the display is 64.3%. · Press the ON/OFF key to switch the instrument on. H 12 · Wait for the measurement to stabilize (this takes about 4 hours). 9 3 6 4h · Wait for 1 hour and readjust if necessary. · Leaving the probe in the "RH 75.4%" chamber, adjust the low humidity trimmer until the value of 75.4% is read. · Turn the low humidity trimmer (see Functional Description) until a value of 0.0% is seen on the readout (reading between 0.0% and 1.0% RH is also acceptable). H H · Now, the humidity calibration is complete. Spare saturation salts are also available: HI 7111/P (LiCl) for low range humidity, and HI 7121/P (NaCl) for high range humidity. · Remove the probe and tightly seal the chamber containing the LiCl solution. 10 11 BATTERY REPLACEMENT Battery replacement must only take place in a non hazardous area using the battery types specified in this instruction manual (see page 14). FOR HI 8564 ONLY: HI 8564 When the battery is run down "V" is displayed on the LCD to warn the user. In order to replace the battery, simply slide the cover off and replace it with a new 9V battery. SHOCKPROOF RUBBER BOOTS These rubber boots for HI 93640 are specially made to prolong the life of your meter and to prevent damages due to accidental dropping. This rubber boot measures 155 x 90 x 45 mm (6.1 x 3.5 x 1.8") and is available in two different colors: HI 710008 = orange HI 710007 = blue. Select the proper color according to your preference. BATTERY FOR HI 93640 ONLY: HI 93640 When the battery is rundown "V" is displayed on the LCD to warn the user. HI 93640 employs the advanced "BEPS" technology. BEPS will detect a low power condition and will shut the disSLIDE play off. If the ON/OFF butOFF ton is pressed again, the meter will shut off after a few seconds. When this occurs, replace the 9V battery with a new one. When the battery is exhausted or the instrument cannot be switched on, simply slide the battery cover off from the rear of the instrument and replace with the 9V battery with a new one. 9 VOL BA T TTERY °C THERMOHYGROMETER ON OFF RANGE: RH% 5 to 95 °C 0 to 60 °F 32 to 140 RH% °F °C HI93640 12 13 ACCESSORIES WARRANTY HI 70601/5 HI 710001 HI 710007 HI 710008 HI 710011 HI 710031 HI 7101 HI 7111/P HI 7121/P HI 721310 MANRHR2 Detachable interchangeable TFPC RH & temp. probe for HI 8564 with 5 m (16.5') cable Soft carrying case (for HI 8564 only) Blue rubber boot (for HI 93640 only) Orange rubber boot (for HI 93640 only) Spare sintered cap for protection (for HI 93640 only) Rugged carrying case Calibration chambers for HI 8564, complete with O-ring and pre-calibrated saturated salts Spare saturation salts 6 x 15g bottles of LiCl for low range humidity calibration Spare saturation salts 6 x 33g bottles of NaCl for high range humidity calibration 9V battery (10 pcs) Instruction manual All Hanna Instruments meters are warranted for two years against defects in workmanship and materials when used for their intended purpose and maintained according to the instructions.
