Indicates a situation which, if not avoided, may cause damage to the instrument. Information that requires special
emphasis.
Precautionary labels
Read all labels and tags attached to the instrument. Personal injury or damage to the instrument
could occur if not observed. A symbol on the instrument is referenced in the manual with a
precautionary statement.
English 5
This is the safety alert symbol. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid potential
injury. If on the instrument, refer to the instruction manual for operation or safety information.
This symbol indicates that a risk of electrical shock and/or electrocution exists.
Electrical equipment marked with this symbol may not be disposed of in European public disposal
systems after 12 August of 2005. In conformity with European local and national regulations (EU
Directive 2002/96/EC), European electrical equipment users must now return old or end-of-life
equipment to the Producer for disposal at no charge to the user.

Certification
Canadian Radio Interference-Causing Equipment Regulation, IECS-003, Class A:
Supporting test records reside with the manufacturer.
This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing
Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil numérique de classe A répond à toutes les exigences de la réglementation canadienne
sur les équipements provoquant des interférences.
FCC Part 15, Class "A" Limits
Supporting test records reside with the manufacturer. The device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions:
1. The equipment may not cause harmful interference.
2. The equipment must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at their expense. The following techniques can be used to reduce
interference problems:
1. Disconnect the equipment from its power source to verify that it is or is not the source of the
interference.
2. If the equipment is connected to the same outlet as the device experiencing interference, connect
the equipment to a different outlet.
3. Move the equipment away from the device receiving the interference.
4. Reposition the receiving antenna for the device receiving the interference.
5. Try combinations of the above.
Product overview
N O T I C E
Always disconnect power to the meter when electrodes are changed. Only use the meter as instructed in this
manual or the meter performance can decrease.
The H-series handheld and benchtop meters operate with glass sensor electrodes with BNC
connectors or non-glass probes with ISFET (ion sensitive field effect transistor) silicon chip sensors.
6 English
The meters use one pH electrode (a BNC pH electrode or an ISFET pH probe) at a time. When the
meter power is set to on, the meter automatically identifies the type of electrode that is attached.
The H-Series meters are available in eight models:
• Waterproof handheld meters with Bluetooth™ technology. Refer to Figure 1:
• H160G—pH and ORP
• H170G—pH, ORP, conductivity, TDS and salinity
•
Benchtop meters with a USB output. Refer to Figure 2:
• H260G—pH and ORP
• H270G—pH, ORP, conductivity, TDS and salinity
• H280G—pH, ORP, conductivity, TDS, salinity and dissolved oxygen (DO)
• Benchtop meters with Bluetooth™ technology and a USB output. Refer to Figure 2:
• H260GB—pH and ORP
• H270GB—pH, ORP, conductivity, TDS and salinity
• H280GB—pH, ORP, conductivity, TDS, salinity and DO
Note: The difference between the benchtop meters is that the GB benchtop meters have Bluetooth™ technology
and a USB output, and the G benchtop meters only have a USB output. Unless noted, when the benchtop series is
documented in this manual, the benchtop meter includes all of the H-series benchtop meters (both the G and the
GB benchtop meters).
