CERTIFICATION, continued
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications to this unit 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 digita l de vic e, pursua nt to P art 15 of th e FCC Rules. These l i mits are designed to pr o vide reasonable prote cti on against ha rmful interferenc e 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 resid ential are a is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. The following techniques of reducing the interference problems are applied easily.
1. Disconnect the external power supply from sens
Laboratory pH meter to verify that the meter is not the source of interference.
2. Move the meter away from the device receiving
the interference.
3. Reposition the receiving antenna for the device receiving
the interference.
4. Try combinations of the above.

SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
Hach provides pH and ISE meters for applications from pH measurements to accurate Ion Sel ect ive Electrode work. This manual describes the operation and use of the Hach sens Portable p H/ISE/mV/Temperature Meter (see Figure 1).
This meter features a custom digital LCD display whic h simultaneously displays temperature and measurement results. This meter has all the features of a simple pH/ISE meter plus:
two measurement channels
a millivolt mode
standard additions program
automatic buffer recognition when in the pH mode
pH averaging
calibration review
ion™4
datalogging
bi-directional RS232 communication for printing results to a
computer or print er, or controlling the meter from a PC.
The meter is designed to be maintenanc e- fr ee. If the met er get s dirty, wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Use a cotton-tipped applicator to clean or dry the connectors if they get wet.
1.1 Unpacking the Instrument
