HI9829-MULTIPARAMETER WATER QUALITY METER | PH / ISE / EC / DO / TURBIDITY
Two probes to choose from (Basic or Logging)
The HI7609829 (basic) and HI7629829 (logging) are multiparameter water meter probes for use with the HI9829 portable meter. It is an option to choose which probe will be supplied with the HI9829 multiparameter water quality meter. By default, the HI9829 and corresponding probe will be supplied with pH/ORP, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen sensors. Therefore, either probe can be upgraded to measure turbidity with a turbidity/conductivity sensor.

The meter also features two virtual soft keys that navigate the user through the configuration of each parameter, meter setup and logging of data. The interface is intuitive for any user’s level of experience.
Dedicated Help Key
Contextual help is always available through a dedicated “HELP” key. Clear tutorial messages and directions are available on-screen to quickly and easily guide users through setup and calibration. The help information displayed is relative to the setting/option being viewed.
Auto-sensor Recognition
The probe and meter automatically recognize the sensors that are connected. Any ports not used on the probe will not have the parameter displayed or be configurable.
Product Q&A
What is the HI9829 multiparameter water quality meter used for?
The HI9829 is designed to measure up to 14 water quality parameters including pH, ORP, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, ammonium, chloride, nitrate, and temperature. It is suitable for environmental, field, and laboratory testing.
What probes are available for the HI9829?
The meter can be paired with the HI7609829 basic probe or the HI7629829 logging probe. Both support pH/ORP, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen sensors, with optional turbidity measurement. The logging probe can record data independently of the meter for up to 70 days.
