Hand Held O2 Meter

Handy Polaris 2

The Handy Polaris 2 is a hand-held dissolved oxygen and temperature meter with data logging and data transfer capabilities. The flat foil pushbuttons are easy to operate and the instrument is always ready to use – just press the “on” button and measure.

Dissolved oxygen values are shown both in mg/l (ppm) and % saturation - the user chooses which parameter is shown in large figures.

 

handy_polaris_2Handy Polaris 2 has a memory can contain 3000 complete sets of data – each containing values of mg/l (ppm), % saturation, temperature, time and date. Values can be stored either automatically at pre-set time intervals, or manually. You can group values according to the place of measurement. Stored values can be transferred to a PC using the Polaris Link, which connects to the PC via a USB cable.

The new data logging and transfer capabilities, and other functions such as automatic calibration and self-check of the probe and meter, combine with the well-known accuracy, reliability and low maintenance needs of the Handy series to make an instrument that will serve you well for many years to come.
