General Description & Intended Use

HI981204

 is a compact ORP and temperature tester, part 

of Hanna Instruments pool-line family. It features a two-
buttons operation system and is easy to use. The compact and 
waterproof casing is designed to float if accidentally dropped 
in the water. The tester is factory calibrated and measures 
temperature in both °C and °F. It displays a stability tag that 
will disappear once the reading has stabilized.
Battery level and low-battery indicator are displayed on the 
LCD to alert the user in the event that low battery power could 
adversely affect the readings.

BEPS (Battery Error Prevention System)

The tester will automatically shut off if there is not enough 
power to guarantee an accurate reading.

ORP Probe

HI981204

 is supplied together with 

HI73120

 replaceable 

ORP electrode.

Temperature Sensor

more accurate temperature measurement.
