Salinity compensation in water allows FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION - METER determination of mg/L of dissolved oxygen in salty waters and the altitude compensation readjusts for the altitude variance. Four 1.5V AA alkaline batteries provide power and make the instrument completely portable. HI 9146 is also designed to be used with a battery recharger or a 12 Vdc power supply.
