Portable Photometer for pH, Alkalinity, Free and Total Chlorine and Cyanuric Acid HI971044

General Features

 

Waterproof casing
The casing offers IP67 waterproof protection and floats.

 

Advanced LED optical system 
LEDs have a much higher luminous efficiency, providing more light while using less power. They also produce little heat, which could otherwise affect electronic stability.

 

CAL Check™ functionality
Hanna’s exclusive CAL Check feature allows for performance verification and calibration of the meter using NIST traceable standards. Our CAL Check standard vials are developed to simulate a specific absorbance value at each wavelength to verify the accuracy of subsequent readings. The CAL Check screen guides the user step-bystep through the validation process and user calibration.

 

Multiple measurement methods
Users can select the use of powder reagents supplied in packets or the use of low cost liquid reagents supplied in a dropper bottle. Built-in reaction timer Waiting the proper reaction time is of key importance when performing colorimetric measurements. The countdown timer displays the time remaining until a measurement will be taken, ensuring consistent results between sample measurements and users.

 

GLP
Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) shows the date and time of the last user calibration.

 

Auto-off protection
These meters use three common AA batteries that allow for about 800  measurements to be taken. The auto-off feature automatically shuts off the meter after 15 minutes of inactivity in order conserve battery life.

 

Built-in reaction timer
Waiting the proper reaction time is of key importance when performing  colorimetric measurements. The countdown timer displays the time remaining until a measurement will be taken, ensuring consistent results between sample measurements and users.

 

Large cuvette size
The sample cell of these photometers fits a round, glass cuvette with a 25 mm path length. The relatively long path length of the sample cuvette allows the light to pass through more of the sample solution, ensuring accurate measurements even in low absorbance samples. The cuvette holder features ridges to protect scratching of the optical path by the cuvette.

 

Intuitive dot matrix display
These photometers are designed with a backlit, graphic LCD. With virtual keys, a battery status indicator, and error messages. Users will find the interface intuitive and easy to read.

 

Auto logging
Log and recall the last 50 measurements.

 

Dedicated help
A dedicated help key provides information relating to the current meter operation, and can be used at any stage in the setup or measurement process to show contextual help.

 

On-screen tutorial mode with animations
The built in Tutorial mode guides users step-by-step through the measurement process.

 

Error messages
Messages appear on the display alerting to problems such as out of range, light low, light high, ambient temperature out of limits, and battery low.

 

Battery status indicator
Indicates the amount of battery life left.

 

Advanced Optical System

• LED that generates no heat
• 8 nm narrow band interference filter that is accurate to ±1 nm and offers 25% increase in light efficiency.
• Reference detector that modulates the voltage to LED for consistent light output.
• A concave focusing lens that reduces errors from imperfections in the cuvette

 

High Efficiency Light Source

LED light sources offer superior performance compared to tungsten lamps. LEDs have a much higher luminous efficiency, providing more light while using less power. They also produce little heat, which could otherwise affect electronic stability. LEDs are available in a wide array of wavelengths, whereas tungsten lamps have poor blue/violet light output.

 

High Quality Filters

Improved optical filters ensure greater wavelength accuracy and allow a brighter, stronger signal to be received. The end result is higher measurement stability and less wavelength error.

 

Stable Light Source

The internal reference system of the these photometers compensates for any drifts due to power fluctuations or ambient temperature changes. With a stable source of light the readings are fast and stable between your blank (zero) measurement and sample measurement.

 

Greater Light Yield

A focusing lens collects all of the light that exits the cuvette, reducing errors from imperfections and scratches that may be present in the glass. The use of the convex lens reduces the need for indexing cuvettes.
