Ion Meter with Touch Screen YR01817-2

This ion meter incorporates a microprocessor with automatic calibration functions, automatic temperature compensation —ATC—, data storage, clock, and self-diagnosis. Additionally, it displays information about the electrode status to help the user monitor its operating conditions.

The YR01817-2 stores up to 1000 data sets and allows them to be saved and transferred to a USB memory for opening in Excel. It supports PC connection; wireless printing via Bluetooth and real-time data transfer to mobile phones are optional functions that must be specified when requesting the configuration.

Market Price

As a reference, desktop ion meters with touch screens and comparable features can be found approximately between 1600 and 2800 USD, depending on the brand, electrodes, and included accessories. This range corresponds to equipment from other brands and does not constitute the price of the Kalstein YR01817-2. The final amount must be confirmed according to the configuration, destination, and commercial conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What parameters does the YR01817-2 measure?

It allows measuring pH, pX, electric potential, ORP, ion concentration, and temperature. Each measurement requires the corresponding electrode or probe.

Can it measure any ion with the same electrode?

The measurement requires a selective electrode compatible with the ion of interest. Before purchasing, it is advisable to confirm the ion to be analyzed, the expected concentration range, and the included electrode.

Can the results be exported to Excel?

Yes. The equipment allows storing up to 1000 data sets and transferring them to a USB memory for opening in Excel.

Is the Bluetooth connection included?

Wireless printing via Bluetooth and real-time data transfer to mobile phones are optional. Their availability must be confirmed in the quote.

Does the equipment run on battery?

The provided specification indicates a power supply of 12 V/1 A and a power adapter. It does not indicate an integrated battery.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Among its main advantages are the 7-inch touch screen, the ability to work with multiple electrochemical parameters, automatic calibration, and the storage of 1000 records. USB export facilitates the organization of results, while the visualization of the electrode status helps monitor the measurement system.

As aspects to consider, different analyses require compatible electrodes and proper sample preparation. Wireless functions are optional, and the equipment needs external power according to the provided specifications. Its IP54 protection also does not allow for submerging the instrument.

Product Use in the Field

The YR01817-2 ion meter can be incorporated into tasks of analyzing aqueous samples, quality control, and research, as long as the electrode and method are suitable for the sample. In these applications, it allows consulting electrochemical parameters and recording results for later review.

For work outside the laboratory, it should be used in a protected station that has compatible power supply and respects the specified environmental conditions: temperature from 5 to 35 °C and relative humidity up to 85%. The sample temperature range, from −10 to 110 °C, is different from the environmental range and is also conditioned by the limits of the probe and electrode used.

Usage and Maintenance Recommendations

To obtain consistent results, calibrate the equipment with appropriate standard solutions and follow the instructions for the corresponding electrode. Confirm that the expected concentration is within the sensor's working range, as the range indicated for the instrument does not guarantee that all electrodes cover that same range.

Rinse the electrode between samples, avoid contamination of the standard solutions, and use the cleaning and storage procedure indicated by the manufacturer. Make periodic backups of the data via USB and protect the screen and connections from spills. When requesting your equipment from Kalstein Plus, indicate the ion you need to measure and the characteristics of your samples to receive a quote with the appropriate configuration.
