HI 9813-5 is a versatile, water resistant, multiparameter portable instrument specifically designed for agricultural applications such as hydroponics, greenhouses, farming and nurseries.
This meter features an large LCD that clearly displays the parameter being measured as well as calibration instructions. Calibration is fast and easy with knobs located on the front panel of the instrument.
HI 9813-5 is a pH/EC/TDS meter designed for simplicity of use in taking pH, mS/cm, ppm and temperature in the °C scale measurements.
This instrument utilizes the HI 1285 series pH/EC/TDS/temperature probe. This probe features a fiber junction and gel electrolyte making it ideal for fertilizer solutions.
• Water resistant
• On-screen tutorial messages for calibration
• BEPS (Battery Error Prevention System) alerts the user in the event that low battery power could adversely
affect readings
• Switch parameters at the touch of a button
• Automatic Temperature Compensation for pH and conductivity
• Simple calibration; Dials located on the front panel makes calibration quick and simple, even for
non-technical users
• Battery % displayed on startup
• Fast response multiparameter probe
| Weight: | 1.8 lbs. |
| Package Dimensions: | 6.5L x 1.8W x 2.5H |
| Warranty: | 2 Year |
| Q: | What is the suggested pH range for my hydroponic system and soil plants? |
| A: | Hydroponic and soil gardens differ in the fact they both need different pH ranges for nutrients to be made available for plant absorption. Maintain a pH between 5.0 and 6.5 for hydroponic gardens and 6.0 to 7.0 for soil applications. |
| Q: | My pH meter doesn't hold calibration. How often should I recalibrate it? |
| A: | pH meters do need to be calibrated by the user every day since the membrane does change and is affected by the temperature as well. If pH values are very critical then it will need to be recalibrated several times a day, or before each sample test (depending on how critical the value is). Uncontaminated calibration solution is very important as well. For each calibration, pour some solution in a separate container. Keep out of sunlight and away from heat. |
