PREFACE

This manual serves to explain the use of the Standard CyberScan series hand-held meters. The

models covered are the CyberScan pH 10 and the CyberScan pH 100 hand-held meters.

The manual functions in two ways, firstly as a step by step guide to help the user operate the

meter. Secondly, it serves as a handy reference guide.

This instruction manual is written to cover as many anticipated applications of the CyberScan pH

meters as possible. If there are doubts in the use of the CyberScan pH 10/100 meters, do not

hesitate to contact the nearest Eutech Instruments Authorized Distributor.

Eutech Instruments cannot accept any responsibility for damage or malfunction to the meter

caused by improper use of the instrument.

Remember to fill in the guarantee card and mail it back to your authorized distributor or Eutech

Instruments Pte Ltd (address, contact details, email and homepage information are found on the

back page of this manual).

The information presented in this manual is subject to change without notice as improvements are

made, and does not represent a commitment on the part of the Eutech Instruments Pte Ltd.
