GENERAL DESCRIPTION
HI 9026 is a state-of-the-art waterproof, heavy-duty pH meter designed to
provide laboratory results and accuracy under harsh industrial conditions.
This meter is provided with a series of new diagnostic features which
add an entirely new dimension to the measuremeny of pH, by
allowing the user to dramatically improve the reliability of the
measurement:
7 memorized buffers (pH 1.68, 4.01, 6.86, 7.01, 9.18, 10.01
and 12.45) for calibration
Custom calibration by entering up to two custom buffers
Messages on the LCD to make the calibration easy and accurate
Diagnostic features to alert the user when the electrode needs
cleaning
Monitoring of the electrode aging
User-selectable calibration time-out to remind when a new
calibration is necessary
HI 9026 can also measure with ORP electrodes, thanks to its capability
to measure mV with a resolution up to 0.1 mV.
Moreover, it offers an extended temperature range from 20 °C (4 °F)
to 120 °C (248 °F), using HI 7662 interchangeable probes.
