GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Checktemp®-Dip is an accurate thermometer
provided with a fixed stainless steel probe with a 3
meter (9.9’) cable, and weighted so that it can be
dipped into any vat and tank and measure the tem­perature at different depths.

Due to its hygienic stainless steel probe, it is ideal
for food applications, especially to check the tem­perature inside wine casks and milk tanks.

Checktemp

such as fish farms, water reservoirs and pools where
the operator can simply stand on the edge of the
water and throw the probe over.

The accuracy, in spite of the longer probe lead, is
an excellent ±0.3°C (±0.5°F).

In addition, you can check to make sure that your

thermometer is measuring the right temperature with
the Hanna Instruments’ exclusive Cal-Check

technology.
Two models are available:

• HI 98509-01 (Checktemp®-Dip C) reads tempera-

ture in °C unit

• HI 98510-01 (Checktemp

ture in °F unit

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

When Checktemp®-Dip cannot be switched on or
the display fades, remove the two screws, remove
the battery cover and change the 1.5V AAA bat­tery, while paying attention to its polarity.

Replace the cover and tighten the two screws.
Battery should only be replaced in a safe area

and using an alkaline 1.5V AAA type battery.

OPERATION

• Turn the Checktemp®-Dip on and dip the probe in
the sample to be measured.

• Do NOT wrench the probe. If the cable is dam­aged, the meter may have to be replaced.

• Wait a few seconds for the display to stabilize.

• After use, always switch the meter off

• Variations in readings or a fading display can
indicate a low battery level (see “Battery Re­placement” section for details).

• Checktemp
ous measurement at high temperatures. In fact,
even though Checktemp®-Dip can reach 100ºC
(212°F), prolonged measurements at high tem­perature will reduce the sensor life dramatically.

The ideal operating temperature is in the -20 to
50ºC (-4 to 120ºF) range.

CALIBRATION CHECK SWITCH

Move the Cal-check® switch on the back of the
meter to the “Test” position.

The display should show 0.0°C (±0.5°C) or 32ºF
(±0.9°F).

Contact your dealer or the nearest Hanna Service
Center for recalibration, if necessary.

Move the Cal-check switch back to the “Run” po­sition, and the display will return to normal mea­surement mode.
