Description
The Hanna Instruments HI98509 Checktemp 1 is a high-accuracy digital thermometer designed for precise temperature measurement in liquids, air, and semi-solid materials. It uses an NTC thermistor sensor housed in an AISI 316 stainless steel probe connected by a 1 m flexible silicone cable. Accuracy is rated at ±0.2°C (±0.5°F), placing it among the most precise handheld thermometers available. The CAL Check feature runs an automatic self-diagnostic at startup, confirming calibration status before every use. IP65 water-resistant construction and HACCP-compatible design make it a reliable tool for aquarium water temperature verification and food-safe applications alike.

The HI98509 Checktemp 1 delivers laboratory-grade temperature accuracy in a compact, handheld form. Its NTC thermistor sensor responds quickly and resolves temperature to ±0.2°C (±0.5°F), a level of precision that matters when dialing in a reef system or verifying a QT tank during acclimation. The 1 m (3.3') silicone-jacketed cable keeps flexibility in cold environments without stiffening, and the sharp stainless steel probe tip seats cleanly against a probe tip or submerges directly into a water column.

Hanna's CAL Check system automatically runs a self-verification routine every time the meter powers on. It reports a simple "-0-" if calibration is confirmed good, or "Err" if there is a problem — removing any guesswork about whether the reading you're seeing is trustworthy. This is particularly useful in a reef context where a single degree of variance can flag a heater failure or chiller drift early.

The probe is fabricated from AISI 316 stainless steel, a grade specified for food and laboratory compliance under HACCP protocols. Display units toggle between °C and °F at user preference, and the Auto-Off timer can be set to 8 minutes, 60 minutes, or disabled entirely depending on workflow. The large LCD is readable across a wide viewing angle and a broad ambient temperature range.

For reef and marine aquarium use, the Checktemp 1 works best as a spot-check or calibration reference tool — confirming the accuracy of an inline probe, verifying a new heater setpoint, or checking temperature during livestock transport. Its IP65 water-resistant rating means incidental splashing is not a concern, though it is not rated for continuous submersion. A fresh LR44 battery is included, and no external calibration equipment is needed for day-to-day use.
