AH-151

pH meter with automatic calibration function

A pH meter that achieves a reduction in maintenance workload.

The AH-151 pH meter with an automatic calibration function conducts pH measurements, performing chemical cleaning of electrodes and standard solution calibration automatically, enabling significant reduction in maintenance workload. Additionally, by atomizing the calibration solution, the amount used is reduced. The spray volume of the solution can also be adjusted according to the degree of contamination, contributing to cost reduction.

Reduction of maintenance workload

A significant reduction of maintenance workload becomes possible by automatically performing electrode cleaning and standard solution calibration, as well as conducting pH measurements.

Reduction in running costs

By atomizing the calibration solution, the amount of solution used has been reduced to 1/5 or less compared to our existing products. *
*with new pH electrodes in use.

Enhanced self-diagnostic functions

Equipped with self-diagnostic functions for detecting measurement anomalies and sensor degradation, enabling prompt response to abnormalities in electrodes and equipment.

Easy operation with a color touch LCD panel

Improved visibility and operability with a 5.7-inch touch panel.  Electrode characteristics during automatic calibration are automatically graphed, making electrode lifespan assessment easy.

Simplified installation through unit delivery

Installation is easy because all parts except for the mounting bracket and the lifting unit are integrated into a single unit.
