HI 981400: pH Meter and Indicator for HACCP Control

• Water resistant housing & a molded eye
• Accepts any pH electrode ending in a BNC connector
• LED alarm if ideal pH value is exceeded

HI 981400 is an indicator designed to check the pH of foodstuffs. The pH value ranks as one of the most important indicators of food quality and safety. pH of raw ingredients such as milk and meat is measured to ensure that quality standards have been properly met. pH is also monitored at different stages of food preparation and processing to guarantee safety, improve production and enhance quality. Along with temperature and water activity, pH also determines the shelf life of foodstuffs. For example, by bringing the pH value below 4.5, growth and multiplication of pathogens are inhibited. HI 981400 is compact and affordable. It has a large LCD display and comes with a molded eye for hanging. It can be hung at a convenient position above a QC bench, or at the goods-in area. Through a trimmer on the back of the unit, an ideal pH value can be set between 4.0 and 7.5 pH. Should the pH exceed this user-selectable limit, an incorporated LED starts flashing to signal an abnormality. This is an important feature that permits the control of pH to be delegated to operators with less technical skills.

HI 981400 is supplied complete with 12 VDC adapter, pH 4 and pH 7 calibration solutions (20 mL each), calibration screwdriver and instructions.
