PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION

Remove the instrument from the packing
material and examine it carefully to make
sure that no damage has occurred during
shipping. If there is any damage, notify the
transit carrier immediately.

Each meter is supplied complete with:

 GLI-1618D-0 Combination pH Electrode

with built-in temperature sensor

 pH 4.01 buffer

 pH 7.01 buffer

 Instruction Manual

 AA size Alkaline Batteries (four)

 Rugged Carrying Case.

NOTE:

Save all packing material until you
are sure that the instrument func-
tions correctly. All defective items
must be returned in their original
packaging together with the supplied
accessories.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The GLI-98144 is a portable logging micro-
processor-based pH/ORP/temperature meter.

All pH measurements are automatically com-
pensated for temperature (ATC). The
instrument housing is made of rugged, light-
weight material, making it truly portable.

Five memorized buffers (4.01, 6.86, 7.01,
9.18 and 10.01pH) and wrong buffer recogni-
tion technology make calibration simple and
error free. One or two-point calibration is
possible.

The meters are also equipped with a stability
indicator and backlight feature for comfort-
able reading even in excessively dark
environments. A user friendly interface pro-
vides clear messages regarding errors,
functions and more.

The GLP features provide a guarantee of
data consistency.

Measurements can be performed with labo-
ratory-grade precision in the field as well as
in the laboratory.

An alarm time-out is available to alert the
user if too much time has elapsed since the
