HI83749-01

Description

The HI83749 Portable Turbidity and Bentonite Check Meter ensures protein stability before bottling for great quality wine. The HI83749 measures turbidity of samples from 0.00 to 1200 NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) and is USEPA compliant.

•  Great for small & medium wineries and advanced hobbyists.
•  GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) feature for traceability of the calibration conditions.
•  Log and transfer up to 200 measurements.

The HI83749 Portable Turbidity and Bentocheck Meter is specially designed for measurement of turbidity in wine. The instrument is based on a state-of-the-art optical system which guarantees accurate results, assures long term stability, and minimizes stray light and color interferences. It also compensates for variations in intensity of the lamp, although proper calibration ensures measurements are fully validated, comparable, and in compliance with regulatory requirements. The 25 mm round cuvettes composed of special optical glass guarantee the repeatability of turbidity measurements.

  Features/Benefits:
AMCO AEPA-1 Primary Turbidity Standard
•  The AMCO AEPA-1 supplied standards are recognized as a primary standard by the USEPA.
•  These non-toxic standards are made of styrene divinylbenzene polymer spheres that are uniform in size and density. The standards are reusable and stable with a long shelf life.

Backlit Display
• A backlit LCD display provides an easy to understand, user-friendly interface. Displayed codes guide the user step-by-step through routine operation and calibration.

  Calibration
•  A two, three, or four-point turbidity calibration can be performed by using the supplied (<0.1, 10, 100, and 500 NTU) standards.
•  Calibration points can be modified if user-prepared standards are used.

Data Logging
• Up to 200 measurements can be stored in the internal memory and recalled at any time.

Data Transfer
• For further storage or analysis options, logged data can be downloaded to a Windows compatible PC using the RS232 or USB port and the HI92000 software.

Fast Tracker^™
• For users taking measurements throughout the winemaking process, the HI83749 is equipped with Fast Tracker^™ – Tag Identification System (T.I.S.) that makes data collecting and
management simpler than ever. Fast Tracker^™ allows winemakers to record the time and location of a specific measurement or series of measurements using iButton^™ tags on
specific tanks for quick and easy readings. Each iButton^® tag contains a computer chip with a unique identication code encased in stainless steel.

GLP Data
• The HI83749 features complete GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) functions that allow traceability of the calibration conditions. Data includes calibration points, date, and time.
