Hanna Instruments is the first manufacturer of turbidity instruments that has decided to add the
unique T.I.S. ‑ Tag Identification System to our Portable Turbidimeters, to meet the more restrictive
needs of the users and fit all advantages of this system to the turbidity measurements and data
management.
The system is designed for scientific and industrial applications, or to prove during safety audits
and inspections that samples have been truly taken on pre‑established locations.
The system is as easy to install as to operate. Just fix the so‑called iButton
®
tags near your sampling
sites that need to be checked often, and with this the T.I.S. is setup. The tag contains a computer
chip embedded in a durable stainless steel can. It is designed to withstand the harsh environments,
indoors or outdoors. The number of tags that can be installed is practically unlimited, because each
tag has a unique identification code.
Immediately after tags installation you can start collecting data. Use the Portable Turbidimeter to take
measurements and memorize the test result by pressing the Log‑on‑Demand key. Then, the instrument
will ask for the tag identification. Simply touching the iButton
®
with the matching connector on the
Portable Turbidimeter does identify and authenticate logging, by storing the iButton
®
serial number,
time and date stamp.
The power of the T.I.S. features resides in the PC application. Download all test data to your PC
and use our
HI92000
Windows
®
compatible application software for further data management. You
can sort or filter all your collected test data on different criteria like on a specific sampling location,
parameter, date and time intervals, or fix range to filter measured values. The data can be plotted
in a graph, exported to other common Windows
®
applications or printed for reporting purpose.
It is also possible to add new tags later on, thus increasing an already existing database. Each time
the PC software recognizes a new added tag, it will ask for a description of the new sampling location.
