TAG IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM
Hanna is the first manufacturer of analytical instruments that has decided to add the unique T.I.S.-
Tag Identification System to its meters, to meet the more restrictive needs of the users and fit all
advantages of this system to the turbidity and chlorine measurements to simplify data management.
The system is designed for scientific and industrial applications, or to prove during safety audits and
inspections that samples have been truly taken on pre-established locations.
The system is as easy to install as to operate. Just fix the so-called iButton
® tags near your sampling
sites that need to be checked often, and with this the T.I.S. is setup. The tag contains a computer chip
embedded in a durable stainless steel can. It is designed to withstand the harsh environments,
indoors or outdoors. The number of tags that can be installed is practically unlimited, because each
tag has a unique identification code.
Immediately after tags installation, data collecting can be started. Use the
HI 93414 to take
measurements and memorize the test result by pressing the Log-on-Demand key. Then, the instrument
will ask for the tag identification.
Simply touching the iButton
® with the matching connector on the HI 93414 does identify and
authenticate logging, by storing the iButton ® serial number, time and date stamp.
The power of the T.I.S. feature resides in the PC application. Download all test data to your PC and
use our
HI 92000 Windows ® compatible application software for further data management. You can
sort or filter all your collected test data on different criteria like on a specific sampling location,
parameter, date and time intervals, or fix range to filter measured values. The data can be plotted in
a graph, exported to other common Windows
® applications or printed for reporting purposes.
It is possible to add also new tags later on, thus increasing an already existing database. Each time
the PC software recognizes a new added tag, it will ask for a description of the new sampling
location.

The instrument also provides a logging function. Up to 200 measurements can be stored in the
internal memory and consulted at any time. In order to further store and analyse, the data can be
downloaded to a PC using one of the available ports: RS232 or USB.
For advanced field applications, the
HI 93414 combined meter is equipped with Tag Identification
System (TIS) that make data collecting and management simpler than ever.
