The HI97106 is a waterproof chemical oxygen demand portable photometer with an advanced optical system that uses a Light Emitting Diode and a narrow band interference filter for accurate, repeatable readings. The optical system is sealed from outside dust, dirt, and water.
The meter uses an exclusive positive-locking system to ensure that the vials are placed into the holder in the same position every time.
With the CAL Check™ functionality, users are able to validate instrument performance at any time. Hanna Instruments® CAL Check cuvettes are certified against NIST-traceable reference instrument(s).
The built-in tutorial mode guides users step-by-step through the measurement process. The tutorial mode includes all steps required for sample preparation, the required reagents, and quantities.
The instrument is a compact and versatile photometer designed to accurately determine chemical oxygen demand.
Suitable for field or bench measurements, the photometer features:
Method and Parameter
- Chosen parameter and method used is displayed along with the reading.
Battery status indicator and auto-shut off
- The auto-off feature automatically shuts off the meter after 15 minutes of inactivity in order conserve battery life.
Removable vial adapter
- The vial adapter can be removed to accommodate HI97106-11 CAL Check™ cuvettes for validation.
Dedicated help
- A dedicated help key provides information relating to the current meter operation, and can be used at any stage in the setup or measurement process to show contextual help.
Waterproof and floating, IP67 meter design
- Compact size: measures 142.5 mm (5.6”) x 102.5 mm (4”) and only 50.5 mm (2”) thick
CAL Check™ validation
- Validate instrument performance at any time using CAL Check cuvettes made with NIST traceable standards.
Auto-data logging
- Data autolog helps users keep track of all measurements. Data is automatically saved every time a measurement is made. The data log can hold 200 individual measurements. When the data log is full, the meter will rewrite the oldest data point.
Setup Menu
- Setup options for meter personalization include date and time format, language, and enabling the tutorial mode.
On-Screen tutorials
- Tutorial mode guides the user step-by-step
Virtual keys
