More Information
The HI98192 is supplied with the HI763133 four-ring conductivity probe with a built-in temperature sensor.
This technology allows for accurate readings that cover a complete range with a single sensor.
The four ring technology also eliminates the polarization effect that is common with standard two pole versions.
The HI763133 conductivity probe connects to the meter with a unique quick connect waterproof DIN connector allowing for a secure attachment without a threaded connection that is also easy to remove.
HI98192 has an expanded conductivity range from 0.000 μS/cm to 1000 mS/cm actual conductivity (400 mS/cm temperature compensated).
The HI98192 also has ranges for TDS, resistivity, and three salinity scales. This meter automatically recognizes the probe type (two or four ring) and allows the user to adjust the nominal cell constant.
HI98192 can be used to perform all three stages of USP method required for EC measurement of ultrapure water and generates a report when the any of the three stages are met.
Choose from seven memorized standards and obtain up to a five point conductivity calibration. For salinity (% range), HI7037 standard allows users to make a one point calibration.
EC and TDS measurements are fully customizable and include:
- Cell constant selection between 0.0 and 10.000
- Selection of linear or non-linear (natural water), or No temperature compensation
The temperature compensation coefficient range is configurable from 0.00 to 10.00%/°C with a choice of reference temperatures of 15°C, 20°C and 25°C.
The conductivity to TDS factor is adjustable from 0.40 and 1.00.
The HI98192 allows for the creation of 10 measurement profiles with various user settings including temperature compensation, range selection, cell constant, and TDS conversion factors.
The log-on-demand mode allows the user to record and save up to 400 readings while the lot logging at selected intervals can store up to 1000 readings.
This data can then be transferred to a PC with Hanna’s HI920015 micro USB cable and HI92000 software.
GLP data includes date, time, standards used, temperature compensation used, reference temperature, and TDS conversion factor (TDS) is directly accessible by pressing the dedicated GLP key.
Access help at any time at the press of a dedicated button and view content specific information based on the screen that is currently being viewed.
The compact, durable HI720192 carry case is thermoformed to hold all necessary components for taking a field measurement, including the meter, probe, beakers and conductivity standards.

Digital EC Electrode
edge® EC electrode is highly advanced, featuring a built-in microchip that stores calibration information that is automatically retrieved by edge® once the electrode is plugged in.
Information stored in the electrode includes model number, serial number and calibration information including the standards used and the date and time the last calibration was performed
Four Ring Probe
The edge® EC/TDS/Salinity meter is supplied with the HI763100 four ring platinum conductivity probe that has a built-in temperature sensor for automatic temperature compensated measurements.
The four ring technology allows for a wide range of measurement with a single probe as compared to amperometric two pole probes that have a limited range and can suffer from polarization effects.
The HI763100 probe has a glass and PVDF body with a PEI (polyetherimide) sleeve. Both materials have excellent resistance against many aggressive chemicals.
3.5 mm Probe Input
Plugging an electrode in has never been simpler; no alignments, no broken pins, just connect the 3.5 mm plug and get started.
Wall Mount
Using the wall mount cradle (included), edge can be placed on a wall, leaving zero footprint on the benchtop space. The cradle has a built in connector to power edge and charge its batteries. edge's zero footprint design saves you valuable benchtop space.
Cradle and Electrode Holder
edge® is equipped with a benchtop cradle featuring an adjustable swivel electrode holder to charge and hold the meter securely in place at the optimum viewing angle.
Two USB Ports
edge® includes one standard USB for exporting data with a flash drive and a second micro-USB port for you to connect to a computer for file export and for charging your edge when the cradle is not available.
Data Logging
edge® allows you to store up to 1000 log records of data. Data sets include readings, GLP data, date and time.
Two Operating Modes
edge® offers both Basic and Standard Modes.
In Basic Mode, the edge as an EC meter reduces features to simplify operation. In Basic Mode, the meter will only allow for automatic temperature compensation, auto ranging of readings, and automatic cell factor correction while calibrating. The temperature correction coefficient is fixed to 1.9% / °C and interval logging is not available.
In Standard Mode, the user has options to change these settings.
What is EC?
Electrical Conductivity (EC) is defined by the ability of a solution to conduct an electrical current.
What is TDS?
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) is defined as the amount of solids dissolved in a solution.
What is their relationship?
The relationship between the amounts of solids such as salts found in fertilizers is directly proportional to their conductivity, therefore, the higher the amount of solids the greater the conductivity. This is because when fertilizers are dissolved into water they become "ions", which means that they become positively or negatively charged and can therefore conduct a current.
How does an EC/TDS meter work?
Two electrodes with an applied AC voltage are placed in the solution. This creates a current dependent upon the conductive nature of the solution. The meter reads this current and displays in either conductivity (EC) or ppm (TDS).
Conversion Factors
TDS meters read the conductivity; the meter automatically converts this value to TDS which is typically displayed in ppm.
Temperature Compensation
Temperature affects the activity of the ions in solution but does not affect the concentration, therefore meters with temperature compensation correct for this condition.
How is TDS measured?
By means of a conductivity meter. The conductivity is measured and the TDS is calculated by a fixed mathematical formula in the meter.
What is the difference between microSiemens (µS) and milliSiemens (mS)?
Both are units of conductivity. 1000 microSiemens (µS) = 1 milliSiemen (mS).
How do I convert between milliSiemens (mS) and ppm?
Convert to microSiemens by multiplying by 1000. Then multiply by 0.7: ex. Your reading is 2.14 milliSiemens (x 1000 = 2140 microSiemens). 2140 x 0.7 = 1498 ppm. Or simply multiply by 700. (2.14 x 700 = 1498)
What if I want to switch to EC measurements?
If you do not have a meter which reads both in EC and TDS you may prepare your fertilizer solution according too the directions given and take the EC reading. This will be your value. Or, consult with the manufacturer of your fertilizer for the correct EC readings for that particular fertilizer.
What is the relation between electrical conductivity (EC) & dissolved solids (TDS)?
Though there is a close relationship between TDS and Electrical Conductivity, they are not the same thing.
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and Electrical Conductivity (EC) are two separate parameters.
TDS is the combined total of solids dissolved in water. EC is the ability of something to conduct electricity (in this case, water's ability to conduct electricity).
The only true method of measuring TDS is to weigh residue found in water after the water has evaporated.
You know those spots you see on a glass after you wash it and let it air dry? That's TDS!
That residue has mass, and it's possible to weigh it, but if you're not in a lab, it can be tricky thing to do.
Therefore, we can estimate TDS levels based on the conductivity of the water since the hydrogen and oxygen molecules of the H2O carry almost no electrical charge.
The EC of most other metals, minerals and salts will carry a charge. A A TDS meter measures that EC level and then converts it to a TDS measurement.
Since different metals, minerals and salts will be more or less conductive than others, there are different conversion factors that can be used.
ppm (parts per million) is the most commonly used scale to measure TDS (Total Dissolved Solids)
µS (micro-Siemens) is the most commonly used scale to measure EC (Electrical Conductivity).
