1. Introduction

Thank you for selecting an OAKTON meter. This OAKTON portable meter 
is a microprocessor-based instrument that measures pH, conductivity, TDS and 
temperature! Your meter has many user-friendly features, all of which are accessible
through the membrane keypad. 

Your meter includes a single-junction pH electrode, a combination conductivity/
temperature probe, and batteries. Please read this manual thoroughly before 
operating your meter. 

2. Display and Keypad Functions

Display

The LCD has a primary and secondary display. 

• The primary display shows the measured pH or conductivity reading. 
• The secondary display shows the temperature of the reading. 

The display also shows error messages, keypad functions and program functions.
