The Hanna DiST-1 TDS meter features a large multi-level LCD that displays both TDS and temperature readings simultaneously. The TDS readings are displayed with a 1 ppm resolution and with an accuracy of ±2% full scale. The TDS range of the HI98301 is from 0 to 2000 ppm. An exposed temperature sensor allows for rapid, automatic temperature-compensated TDS measurements. Temperature can be set to display in ℃ or ℉. The LCD screen has stability and calibration tag indicators. The battery percent level is displayed at startup, alerting the user to the remaining available battery power. TDS readings are performed by an amperometric graphite electrode that resists oxidation, providing better repeatability in measurements. Graphite also reduces the polarization effect common with amperometric testers that use two stainless steel pins. Calibration is performed by pressing the dedicated calibration button. Once in calibration mode, submerge the probe in 1382 ppm calibration standard. When the standard value is recognized and stability is reached, the meter will automatically accept and store the calibration value. Setup options include automatic shut-off timing and displaying the temperature unit. The automatic shut-off options are to turn the meter off after 8 minutes, 60 minutes, or disable it. To enter the setup mode, the user presses a button located in the battery compartment.
