Notify me when its in stockThe Hanna HI981030 GroLine soil pH test device is designed to bring simplicity to soil pH testing, used for direct pH measurements in soil for environmental and agricultural tests.
The integrated probe has an open reference connection, a conical glass tip, and a removable sleeve design, making it ideal for measuring soil pH.
IMPORTANCE OF DIRECT MEASUREMENT FROM SOIL:
Soil is a mixture that contains additives like peat and fertilizer.
The ability to use this soil homogeneously in all cultivated plants is made possible with this device.
For example, a producer with plants in multiple pots can determine what deficiency is causing different or yellowing leaf colors in some pots with this device.
SOIL PH MEASUREMENT:
The soil pH value is measured with the Hanna HI981030 device's conical-tipped glass probe out of the device's box.
The soil pH value is one of the most important parameters in plant cultivation, nutrition, and growth.
Therefore, accurately adjusting the soil pH value is very important.
The Hanna HI981030 GroLine soil pH test device is designed to bring simplicity to soil pH testing, used for direct pH measurements in soil for environmental and agricultural tests.
The pH electrode has a removable and cleanable outer junction sleeve.
After cleaning, a small amount of supplied gel electrolyte is added, renewing the junction and improving pH measurement.
This way, the lifespan of the measurement device is extended.
It features a conical-tipped glass probe.
This structure allows it to easily penetrate wet soil.
If stones are present in the soil or if the soil has been compacted, it's best to use an auger to make a hole for the pH electrode to enter.
Additionally, if the soil is dry, purified water can be used to moisten the soil.
After immersing the device into the soil and taking a measurement, you can clean the probe with tap water immediately after taking another measurement.
However, after completing the final soil pH measurement, you must clean the probe with distilled water instead of tap water.
If you directly insert the probe into hard or stony soil, the device's probe may be damaged.
In this case, the device becomes excluded from warranty.
The plastic of the Hanna 981030 soil pH meter device is made of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF).
It is a food-grade plastic resistant to most chemicals and solvents, including sodium hypochlorite used for disinfection.
It has high abrasion resistance, mechanical strength, and ultraviolet resistance.
PVDF also resists fungal growth.
It features a large and high-quality LCD screen.
A hourglass indicator is displayed on the screen until a stable reading is obtained.
When a reading is stable, the indicator disappears, and a reading can be taken.
The soil pH measurement device has a probe diagnosis feature.
This is an error warning indicating that the probe needs cleaning during calibration or measurement, displayed as an Err message on the screen.
The GroLine soil pH test device is automatically calibrated to one or two points.
Calibration buffers are automatically recognized, and the buffer values used after calibration are displayed on the screen.
Before each use, you need to perform the necessary calibrations to obtain accurate results.
To conserve battery life, the device has an automatic shut-off feature in two different functions, 8 and 60 minutes.
You can also disable this feature if desired.
The GroLine soil pH test device operates with 1 CR2032 battery.
It has an exceptional battery life of approximately 1000 hours.
When the battery power is low, a low battery indicator is displayed.
If the inside of the soil pH measurement device becomes dirty, you must follow these steps:
First, carefully remove the sleeve by pulling it straight up while turning the device upside down.
Rinse electrolyte gel residues with distilled water.
Immerse the sensor tip in the HI700663P or HI700664P solution for 20 minutes, as provided in the package.
After the time is up, rinse again with distilled water.
Fill the HI9071 reference gel provided in the package into the sleeve as shown in the 3rd and 4th images.
Reinsert the sleeve in the same way you removed it.
Clean excess gels coming out from the sleeve with a soft cloth.
In the final step, rinse the device again with distilled water.
Note:
If the protective cover of the device becomes dirty, clean it again with distilled water.
After each use, preserve the probe by adding 3-4 drops of the HI9072 solution provided in the package to the protective cap.
