HALO® Wireless Beer pH Meter Hanna Instruments

Easily measure pH in mash, wort, and finished beer with the FC2142 Wireless Beer pH Meter. This HALO is designed for home and craft brewers.

The specialized electrode features a durable titanium body, high temperature glass sensor, and an extendable cloth type junction for renewable electrode life. All readings are transmitted directly to your Apple or Android device or the edge®blu.

• Take laboratory grade pH and temperature measurements using your smartphone or tablet.

• HALO’s smart system tells you when your electrode needs cleaning or calibration.

• Great for any brewery, kitchen, or food laboratory.

The HALO® Wireless Beer pH Meter incorporates Bluetooth^® Smart technology with an application-specific design to measure beer pH. Several features that make it ideal for measuring the pH in beer, mash, and wort.

The World’s First pH Electrode with Bluetooth Smart Technology for the Brewing Industry.

Easily measure pH in mash, wort, and finished beer with the FC2142 Wireless Beer pH Meter. This HALO is designed for home and craft beer makers.

The built-in electrode features a titanium body, flat glass tip, and renewable cloth junction making it ideal for measuring the pH of mash or wort during the beer making process. All readings are transmitted directly to your Apple or Android device or the edge®blu.

One Press Connect

Easily connect to the Hanna Lab App at the press of a button via Bluetooth wireless technology.

Status Indicator

Visible from a distance, the LED “halo” light flashes to indicate the status of the probe.

Easy-to-Replace battery

The HALOs CR2032 lithium ion battery is easily replaceable and lasts for approximately 500 hours.

High Temperature Glass Formulation

High Temperature (HT) glass can stand up to the effects of elevated temperatures leading to longer probe life.

Renewable Cloth Junction

The FC2142 features a cloth junction. When clogged, simply clear the junction by simply extracting 1/8” of the junction from the electrode to expose a new portion, resulting in a renewed junction.

Titanium Body

The titanium body offers increased durability that is ideal for rough environments.

Real-Time Data

Display of beer pH and temperature updated every second. Readings are automatically saved to a history file every hour, limited only by the available memory on the device.

 

Fluid, Dynamic Graphing

Measurements can be displayed alone on the display, with tabulated data, or as a graph. The graph can be panned and zoomed with pinch-to-zoom technology for enhanced viewing.

 

GLP (Good Laboratory Practice)

Displays date and time of current calibration, offset, and average slope, along with calibrated buffers, mV values, temperature and slopes between each buffer.

HALO Features/Benefits:

Connects to Hanna Lab App with a compatible Apple or Android Device via Bluetooth Smart Technology (Bluetooth 4.0)
