2.1 Intended use
The instrument is designed for the measurement of pH and Redox Potentials using suitable
electrodes. The electrode connection is made through a BNC socket.
Please note: Different electrode types are required for the pH and redox measurement. In ad-
dition, it is possible to connect a temperature sensor (Pt1000 or NTC 30k, with banana plug).
The temperature measurement enables the automatic temperature compensation (ATC) of
the pH, rH or mVH measurement and is displayed separately.
The safety instructions in this operating manual must be observed (see below).
The instrument may only be used under the conditions and for the purposes for which it
was designed.
The instrument must be handled with care and used in accordance with the technical data
