Hanna Instruments HI-98294 GPS Multiparameter Portable pH, EC, ISE, Turbidity, DO Meter
HI-98294 GPS Multiparameter Portable pH, EC, ISE, Turbidity, DO Meter
HI-98294 is a portable logging multiparameter system (meter and probe) that monitors up to 14 different water quality parameters (7 measured and 7 calculated) such as pH, ORP, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, chloride, nitrate, ammonium and temperature.
Each parameter is fully configurable. HI-98294 has a graphic, backlit display that automatically sizes the digits to fit the screen with on screen graphing capability.
HI-98294 features an internal 12-channel GPS receiver / antenna module that guarantees a position accuracy of 10 m (30 ft). GPS information can be transferred to a PC and can be viewed using GPS mapping software. Clicking on visited locations, using a mapping software, displays the measurement information.
The GPS coordinates are shown on the LCD together with up to 10 measurement parameters, which are recorded with logged data. A 3-bar antenna indicator, in the bottom right corner of the LCD, indicates GPS signal strength. The multi-sensor probe features an internal temperature sensor and a removable protective shield.
Each meter comes with a protective rubber boot and meets IP67 standard (30 minutes immersion at 1 meter depth). The multi-sensor probe is totally sealed against water and dust, and meets IP68 standard (continuous immersion in water).
