Product Description
The HI 3512 is a 2 channel professional benchtop meter with a graphic LCD, designed to provide accurate laboratory results. Channel 1 features pH/ORP/ISE and temperature measurement capability while channel 2 measures EC/TDS/NaCl/Resistivity and temperature. This instrument can measure using ORP electrodes (pH channel input), thanks to its capability to measure mV with a resolution up to 0.1 mV and ISE electrodes on ppm scale (pH channel input). The electrode type and unit selection capability and the ISE calibration in up to five calibration standard solutions make this instrument very useful for a large range of concentration solution measurements. HANNAs exclusive Calibration Check diagnostics system ensures accurate pH readings every time by alerting users of potential problems during the calibration process. The pH channel offers up to five point pH calibration with seven standard buffers (pH 1.68, 4.01, 6.86, 7.01, 9.18, 10.01 and 12.45) and up to two custom buffers. Messages on the graphic LCD offer directions for easy and accurate calibration for both channels as well as diagnostics to alert the user when calibration or measurement issues are detected.
