1999

World’s first pH/temperature tester

with dual-level LCD

The pHep®4 and 5 were the second generation of the original pHep.

These meters used a large dual-level LCD that allowed many advance

features that would only be found on more expensive portable and

benchtop instrumentation. The Dual level LCD was able to display

both pH and Temperature simultaneously along with a battery and

stability indicators. The meters also feature automatic temperature

compensation, automatic calibration, battery percent level at start up,

waterproof, and a replaceable electrode. pHep 4 and 5 set the standard

for all instrumentation manufacturers that offer handheld testers.

2000

World’s first multiparameter

(pH/conductivity/ temperature)

pocket tester

The Combo pH/EC/TDS/Temperature meters were the first testers to

combine pH and conductivity sensors into a single meter. They offered

all the featues of the redesigned pHep handheld testers with the

addition of a graphite amperometric sensor for themeasurement of EC

and TDS. The Combo meters also had a exposed temperature sensor

that allowed for a quick and accurate temperature compensation for

both pH and conductivity measurements.

2002

World’s first colorimeter with

CAL Check™ feature

The HI95 series of portable photometers were the second generation

of our single parameter photometers. The HI93 series first generation

meters used an LED at a specific wavelength as a light source. The

HI95 series optical system was improved to use a tungsten lamp

and narrow band interference filter for a much narrower spectral

bandwidth. Hanna Instruments also incorporated a unique CAL Check

function in which a traceable secondary standard is used to check the

pre-programmed curve. If readings are outside a specified tolerance

then the unit could be calibrated with the standards and an offset to

the curve applied.

2003

World’s first pH meter with

CAL Check

Many problems in pH measurement

result from a lack of understanding

of the Nernstian response for a

pH electrode. Every pH electrode

generates a mV response in solutions

at a specific pH. By monitoring the offset

and slope characteristics of

a pH electrode during the

calibration process it is possible

to determine potential problems

The pH221 and pH222 were the

first pH meters to offer a unique CAL

Check feature. During calibration these

meters would alert the user if the probe

needs to be cleaned or the buffer is contaminated. After calibration the

probe condition (based on offset and slope) and the probe response

were displayed with a five bar indicator. The greater the number of

bars the better the condition and response.

2004

World’s first process pH meter with

integrated cellular communication

The ability for remote data acquisition is becoming of increasing

importance. Many times it is convenient to monitor a process

parameter remotely. With the HI504900 GSM module it is possible

to use a SIM card from cellular provider to transmit measurement

data over a cellular connection. The HI504 process pH/mV controller

allows for the digital transmission of data by using an RS485 serial

connection. The HI504 allows for programming responses based on

measurement criteria. These responses include the use of sending a

text (SMS) messages over the cellular connection.
