HANNA, WATERPROOF SALINITY TESTER HI98319

HI98319 is a salinity tester made specifically for saltwater aquariums and can measure salinity up to 70.00 ppt. The rugged waterproof gauge is only 0.7 "thick and extremely ergonomic, fitting comfortably in your hand.

The HI98319 makes things simple with two-button operation; one for ON / OFF, the other for calibration.

The digital salinity meter features a large multi-level LCD display that displays ppt, PSU, or specific gravity along with temperature. The temperature can be set to display in ° C or ° F. An exposed temperature sensor enables fast automatic temperature compensated measurements. The LCD screen has stability and calibration indicators. A battery percentage level indicator is displayed at startup to alert the user of the remaining battery power available.

Salinity readings are made using a graphite amperometric probe that resists oxidation, providing better repeatability in measurements. The use of graphite also reduces the bias effect common with testers that use two stainless steel pins.

Calibration is done by pressing the dedicated calibration button. Once in calibration mode, the probe is placed on the 35.00 ppt calibration standard. When the standard value is recognized and stability is reached, the meter will automatically accept and store the value.

Configuration options include an adjustable automatic shutdown in which the meter can be configured to turn off after 8 minutes, 60 minutes, or off. To enter setup mode, the user presses a button located in the battery compartment.

The HI98319 waterproof salinity meter provides a simple, accurate and inexpensive way to determine salt concentration in saltwater aquariums.
