1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the pHPLUS DIRECT meter. This
microprocessor-based handheld meter is economical and easy to use. It has a
large custom LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) for clear and easy reading.
The pHPLUS DIRECT measures pH, mV (ORP), temperature and ion
concentration of various ions (mono and di valence) with ion selective
electrodes (ISEs).
Included with your meter are a robust rubber boot, 4 alkaline “AAA” batteries,
buffer solutions, accessories, temperature sensor, instruction manual and a
warranty card. To order other accessories and buffer calibration or standard
solutions, please refer to Section 8 on Accessories for more information.
