Hanna Instruments multi-parameter meter HI98195 only meter with case without probe
This flexible and robust multi-parameter handheld meter covers a wide range of measurement parameters such as pH, redox potential, conductivity and temperature. With its unique design and easily interchangeable sensors, it is a reliable choice for expert users who want to take precise and efficient measurements in environmental analysis, production processes or water testing. The [Hanna Instruments multi-parameter measuring device HI98196] offers similarly high precision and has comparable advantages for different measuring applications. Nevertheless, the model presented here is particularly impressive due to its durable design, the digital Quick-Connect probe (available separately) and the ability to record up to 9 important parameters with just one system.
Performance features and technological solutions
The focus of this state-of-the-art handheld meter is on ease of use combined with extremely precise measurement performance. Its waterproof design (protection class IP67 on the device, IP68 on the probe) makes this instrument ideal for use in the field or in demanding laboratory environments. Wireless connections are a thing of the past thanks to the Quick-Connect probe: plug in the probe and start your measurements immediately. Below you will find key highlights:
- Robust construction: Withstands the harshest environments thanks to IP67 protection.
- Intuitive operation: Help function, backlit graphic display and configurable menus ensure quick navigation.
- Versatile sensor options: Interchangeable, color-coded sensors enable targeted parameter measurements without having to reconfigure the device.
- Fast calibration: Choose between quick and standard calibration for optimum accuracy under laboratory and field conditions.
- Extensive data logging: Up to 45,000 measured values can be recorded continuously or event-driven.
The probe automatically recognizes installed sensors and provides the appropriate parameter settings directly. This saves time on site and reduces operating errors. In addition, measurements can be conveniently read out and documented via an integrated PC interface.
Technical key points
- pH measuring range: 0.00 to 14.00; accuracy ±0.02

Different factors such as seawater salinity or resistance are also reliably recorded; calibration can be carried out manually with standard or customer-specific buffers. The documentation of all measurements is guaranteed by GLP functionality so that the date, time and calibration data can be traced at any time.
Certifications and standards
The device meets the safety and quality requirements relevant to process and environmental measurement technology. The IP67 housing and IP68 probe ensure that moisture, splash water and dirt do not impair the measurement process. For users in water and wastewater treatment or industrial quality control, this provides a high level of work and process safety.
Application examples
- Environmental monitoring in flowing waters or lakes: rapid on-site determination of pH, redox and conductivity to detect pollution or changes in real time.
- Aquaculture: pH and salinity control to ensure optimal conditions for aquarium fish and breeding facilities
- Wastewater analysis: TDS and conductivity testing to monitor the efficiency of wastewater treatment plants and industrial wastewater systems
- Food and beverage production: Conductivity and redox potential measurements during process steps in breweries, dairies or beverage bottling plants.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
How is the device calibrated?
You can choose between quick scheme and standard procedure. The pH calibration supports up to three points from predefined or user-defined buffers. Several standard solutions are available for conductivity.
Is the probe included in the scope of delivery?
This offer only includes the device and case. The matching Quick-Connect probe is available separately, so you can choose a sensor with the optimal cable length for you if required.
What data can be recorded
Up to 45,000 flow or individual values can be saved. The intervals are freely selectable from one second to three hours, ideal for long-term monitoring or short-term analysis.
How robust is the device?
How robust is the device for outdoor use?
It meets protection class IP67 and the probe IP68. This makes it ideal for outdoor use, whether in the rain, in splash water areas or for long-term underwater measurements.
What operating time is possible with a battery set?
With the help of four AA batteries, the measuring device lasts up to 360 hours in continuous operation; without the backlight, the operating time is barely reduced.
Conclusion
The Hanna Instruments multiparameter meter is an excellent choice for professionals who need a robust, waterproof and extremely versatile solution. Thanks to extensive calibration options and digital data acquisition, this all-rounder proves to be a high-performance system for reliable and accurate measurements in the laboratory and on site. The simple operation, the various sensor options and the well thought-out design ensure efficient work, while the digital interface enables smooth documentation. The instrument thus combines the best measurement quality with great ease of use and covers practically all requirements for modern multi-parameter measurements.
