6.2. CONNECTING THE PROBE
The multiparameter probe is connected to the meter through a waterproof Quick DIN connector, making
attaching and removing the probe an easy process. When connected, the probe is automatically detected.
• With the meter off, connect the probe to the DIN connector on the top of the meter.
• Align the pins and key then push the plug into the socket.
Note: If a DO cap is expired, a pop-up message will occur at probe connection or when meter
starts with a connected probe. Pressing continue button disables it temporarily or until the
next connection.
6.3. TURNING THE METER ON
After connecting the sensors to the probe and connecting the probe to the meter, turn the meter on by
pressing the On / Off key.
At start-up the display will show the Hanna Instruments logo, meter name and firmware version.
After the initialization has been completed, if the probe is connected, the meter displays the Probe
Status or the Tutorial Mode message.
