Hey guys, welcome to the Hanna Lab.
Today were going to go over the Waterproof HI98318 Groline EC/TDS and temperature Tester
for Hydroponics.
The GroLine HI98318 is our latest pocket meter for measuring the EC/TDS of a hydroponic nutrient
solution.
With an accuracy of ±2% Full Scale and an abundance of settings options, this advanced,
waterproof tester has more features than any other comparable meter on the market and is
perfect for growers who need to check the conductivity and TDS of their nutrient solutions.
All operations are simplified to two buttons.
One is for turning the meter on/off and the other for automatic one-point calibration.
Your HI98318 GroLine Tester comes with everything you need to begin testing.
Along with the tester comes our GroLine Quick Calibration and Cleaning solution packets,
the manual and quality certificate.
Before running out of these solution samples, I recommend you check out our compatible products

To set up your tester, Open the back cover to reveal the setup button
inside the battery compartment.
Press the setup menu button.
In the menu, you are first given the option to change your temperature settings.
To do this, press the CAL Key to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Once you have your desired temperature setting, press the On/Off button.
You are now given the chance to change your auto off settings.
These settings are a great way to save battery life if you forget to turn the meter off.
Pressing the CAL button will let you choose between 8 min, 60 min, or if youd prefer,
you can turn the setting off completely.
Again, press the On/Off button once you have your preferred setting.
The next setting in the menu is your calibration type.
By pressing the CAL Button, you can choose between Cal Standard, or Cal Quick.
The Cal Quick setting lets you use the GroLine Quick Cal Calibration Solution.
This solution is for a 1 point calibration in both pH and EC Meters.
Its like having two buffers in one bottle.
The final setting in this menu lets you change your unit of measurement.
You can choose between Conductivity or TDS factors of .5, 500ppm or .7, 700ppm.
You can switch between these factors by pressing the CAL Button.
Once all your settings have been set to your preference, the tester is now ready to be
calibrated.
Calibration is an important part of keeping your tester operating at its best.
We recommend calibrating before each use.
To Calibrate your tester, press the CAL Key.
Rinse the tester in Distilled or deionized water and Place the tester in your Hanna GroLine
Quick Cal Calibration buffer.
After its complete the meter will automatically return to measurement mode.
The tester is now ready to be used for measurements.
So thats it.
The HI98318 EC/TDS and Temperature Tester Is a simple to use tool for growers who need
accurate measurements of EC and TDS in their nutrient solutions.
Remember to always rinse your tester before and after each calibration and sample measurement.
