Hach DR/890: The Versatile Portable Colorimeter for Precise Water Analysis
The Hach DR/890 is a portable colorimeter designed for water analysis professionals seeking a reliable and high-performance solution for laboratory or field use. With the ability to analyze over 90 different parameters, this instrument accurately measures essential elements such as chlorine, iron, phosphorus, and dissolved oxygen.
Its large LCD screen clearly displays results in various units (concentration, absorbance, or percentage of transmission). Equipped with an automatic wavelength selection system, it simplifies operations and prevents configuration errors. The intuitive interface guides the user step-by-step, saving considerable time during analysis.
The DR/890 features a datalogging function that can store up to 99 measurements, including tested parameters, date, and time of recording. This functionality is particularly useful for ensuring rigorous tracking of analyses and facilitates data transfer to a computer or printer via the optional Data Transfer Adapter (DTA).
Designed for intensive use, the DR/890 is waterproof and complies with IP67 standards, allowing it to withstand dust and temporary immersion in water. Its robust housing is also chemical-resistant, ensuring optimal durability even in extreme conditions.
Its versatility is enhanced by a custom calibration function, allowing the creation and storage of 10 analysis programs with up to 12 calibration points. An adjustment system refines calibration curves for even more precise results.
Powered by 4 AA batteries, it provides sufficient autonomy for long field analysis sessions. Efficient energy management ensures prolonged battery life, making this device ideal for outdoor use or production sites.
The DR/890 is also compatible with HachLink™ software, facilitating the export and analysis of collected data. This software enables simplified management of results, displaying them as tables or graphs usable in office applications.
With its numerous features, ease of use, and robustness, the Hach DR/890 is an indispensable tool for laboratories, industries, and water treatment professionals seeking precise and reliable on-site measurements.
