PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION
HI 98120 is a waterproof ORP and temperature
meter. The housing has been completely sealed
against humidity and designed to float.
The temperature values can be displayed in °C or
°F units.
The meter is factory calibrated and measurements
are highly accurate with a unique stability indicator
right on the LCD.
This meter is also provided with battery level
indication at start-up, and with a low battery sym-
bol which warns the user when the batteries need
to be replaced. In addition the Battery Error Preven-
tion System (BEPS) avoids erroneous reading caused
by low voltage level by turning the meter off.
The HI 73120 ORP electrode, supplied with the
meter, is interchangeable and can be easily re-
placed by the user.
The stainless steel encapsulated temperature sen-
sor facilitates faster and more accurate temperature
measurement.
