Price:£354.49

Quantity:

Testing and monitoring salinity in saltwater aquariums is an ongoing task. The HI-981520 Marine Monitor is the ideal solution for aquarists looking to continuously monitor salinity levels, pH, EC and Temp in saltwater aquariums or aquaculture.

Temperature

Salinity

The HI-981520 Marine Monitor is an easy to use vertical mount unit that continuously monitors and displays conductivity and pH. The system can be calibrated at one or two points for pH and at one point for conductivity. Seawater salinity is expressed in either parts per thousand (ppt), Practical Salinity Units (PSU), or Specific Gravity (S.G.).

A high/low alarm can be configured for each parameter and the results are displayed on a large, easy to read LCD. The attached two-electrode conductivity probe features a built-in temperature sensor for rapid, high-accuracy temperature readings.

The Marine Monitor HI-1286 pH double junction, gel filled pH electrode features a PEI resin body that is easy to clean and resistant to many aggressive chemicals. Additionally, the double junction design is less susceptible to clogging for fast and stable readings.

• Waterproof

• Automatic temperature compensation (ATC)

• Dual pin graphite EC probe

More features

Method and Parameter: Chosen parameter and method used is displayed along with the reading.

Dedicated Setup Key: A dedicated setup key allows users to quickly navigate to setup options.

Splash-proof Keypad: Intuitive on-screen menus are easy to navigate with the splash-proof keypad.

Power Supply: The 12 Vdc adapter (included) allows for continuous monitoring

Fixed EC probe: Built-in temperature sensor at the tip of the EC sensor allows for rapid determination of the sample temperature and a high-accuracy temperature reading.

Compact size: Measures 125 mm (4.92”) x 185 mm (7.28”) and only 38 mm (1.49”) thick.

Dedicated Calibration Key: A dedicated calibration key allows users to start a one or two-point pH and EC automatic calibration at the touch of a button.

Replaceable pH probe with BNC connection: The PEI resin body is easy to clean and resistant to many aggressive chemicals. The porous PTFE junction is equally resistant to aggressive chemicals. The double junction design presents a silver-free electrolyte solution interacting with the sample, making the electrode less susceptible to clogging and guaranteeing a fast response and stable reading.

Measuring Seawater Salinity

Choice of Units
Seawater salinity units can be chosen through the setup menu.

PPT

Measurements expressed in ppt are based on the Natural Seawater Scale that extends from 0.00 to 80.00 g/L and covers 10 to 31 °C temperature range. It determines the salinity based upon a conductivity ratio of sample to standard seawater at 15 °C and an approximate salinity value of 35 in seawater.

PSU

The practical salinity of seawater relates the ratio of electrical conductivity of a normal seawater sample at 15 °C and 1 atmosphere to a potassium chloride solution (KCl) with a mass of 32.4356 g/Kg water at the same temperature and pressure. Under these conditions the ratio is equal to 1 and S=35. The practical salinity scale may be applied to values 0 through 42.00 psu at temperatures between 0 to 35 °C.

Specific Gravity (S.G.)

Specific Gravity, or relative density, is expressed as the ratio of the density of seawater, at a specific temperature, relative to the density of the same volume of pure water at a specific temperature.

The probes are secured with suction cups to the back of an aquarium (tank) and are suited for continuous measurement of conductivity and associated parameters required in applications such as seawater, saltwater aquariums, or aquaculture.
