• Integrated test timers (includes up to 4 preprogrammed test timers with AUTO-Read option) and 1 user
timer for general purposes.
• Test results displayed in concentration units (ppm, ppb, ppt, mg/L, µg/L, g/L), absorbance (ABS), or
transmittance (% T).
• Test results displayed in optional chemical forms (available for most preprogrammed tests).
• ADJUST CALIBRATION option allows adjustment of preprogrammed calibrations.
• Intuitive, easy to navigate user-interface.
• FAVORITES menu allows for a customized test menu to be created and edited.

OPTIONAL CHEMICAL FORMS
Optional chemical forms for expression of test results are available for most tests. If available,

will appear
to the right of the chemical form. When an optional chemical form is selected within a test, the range (or range
upper limit) on the test screen will change to correlate with the selected chemical form, and all subsequent test
results and stored test data will be expressed in terms of the selected chemical form. The selected chemical
form will remain the default for that test until changed by the user.
NOTE: If a new Taylor test file is downloaded using the PC App, the optional chemical forms for all
tests will reset to the default chemical form.
