Hanna HI98198-03 OPDO Portable Optical Dissolved

Hanna HI98198-03 OPDO Portable Optical Dissolved Oxygen Meter

The Hanna HI98198-03 OPDO Portable Optical Dissolved is a rugged, portable optical dissolved oxygen (DO) meter equipped with a long-cable probe (available in 4 m, 10 m, or 20 m versions), making it ideal for fieldwork in deep or difficult-to-access water bodies. Utilizing advanced optical sensor technology, this device ensures accurate, maintenance-free measurements in a wide range of environmental and industrial applications.

Features

• Optical DO Measurement: Based on luminescence quenching, this method eliminates membrane replacement and electrolyte refills, providing more stable and reliable readings.

• Extended Cable Options: Available with 4 m, 10 m, or 20 m probe cables for flexible use in various field conditions.

• Durable and Waterproof: The meter has an IP67 rating and the probe an IP68 rating, making the system suitable for wet and rugged environments.

• Smart Cap System: Polypropylene smart cap with integrated sensor and factory calibration for quick, accurate deployment.

• Automatic Pressure Compensation: Ensures accurate results regardless of altitude or barometric changes.

• Long Battery Life: Operates up to 200 hours using standard AA batteries for extended field missions.

• On-Demand Logging: Stores up to 4000 readings for later review and data analysis.

• USB-C Connectivity: Easy data transfer to PCs for reporting and archiving.
