Thank you for purchasing an OAKTON
®
pH/CON 510
benchtop meter. This multiparameter meter reads pH, mV,
Conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), and temperature
(°C or °F). It is microprocessor controlled, user-friendly and
reliable.
Keypad
See Figure 1.
A large membrane keypad makes the meter easy to use.
Names and symbols describe the function button controls.
ON/OFF
Powers the meter

TDS mode.
CAL/MEAS
Toggles user between Calibration and Measurement mode.
Example: If you are in pH measurement mode, press

NOTE: When auto endpoint feature is switched on, meter
automatically holds reading after 5 seconds of stability. The
HOLD indicator appears on the display. Press HOLD to
release auto endpoint feature.
MODE
Measurement:
Press MODE
to toggle between pH, mV,
conductivity and TDS.
Calibration: In calibration mode, press
