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.
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.
Note: For return for recycling, please contact the equipment producer or supplier for instructions on how to return endof-life equipment, producer-supplied electrical accessories, and all auxiliary items for proper disposal.
Product overview
The 50 49 multisensor is used for pH, conductivity and dissolved oxygen measurements in general
aqueous samples. The 50 49 multisensor has a built-in temperature sensor within the conductivity
probe. Refer to Figure 1. Refer to Sample requirements on page 9 for limitations on use.
The 50 49 multisensor is used with sensION+ meters. Refer to Meter compatibility on page 5.
