been observed to function correctly. Any defective item
must be returned in its original packing.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
HI 8732
is a complete, versatile and water-tight conductivity
meter, that can measure EC in the 0 to 4 mS/cm range, TDS
from 0 to 1999 ppm, and temperature from 0 to 70°C.
The desired measurement mode is easily selectable through a
membrane keyboard on the front panel.
Conductivity measurements are automatically compensated for
temperature changes with a fixed coefficient of 2%/°C.
The
HI 761285
probe features a built-in temperature sensor,
and it has been designed to require little maintenance.
The meter can be calibrated at one point for EC or TDS, while
the temperature range is factory calibrated.
Recommendations for Users
Before using these products, make sure that they are entirely suitable for the environment in
which it is used. Operation of these instruments in residential areas could cause unacceptable
interferences to radio and TV equipment. Any variation introduced by the user to the supplied
equipment may degrade the instruments’ EMC performance. To avoid electrical shock, do not
use this instrument when voltage at the measurement surface exceeds 24 Vac or 60 Vdc. To
avoid damage or burns, do not perform any measurement in microwave ovens.
