INTRODUCTION
1.1 INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION
The Model 3345 Ion Meter is a highly sophisticated product offering a host of valuable features, but retaining
simplicity of operation.
The structured menus allow easy access to features with single key strokes. On-line help is provided to
explain instrument functions and provide diagnostic information.
Important measurement features include the ability to operate both channels completely independently,
simultaneous display of readings and temperature on both channels, and independent indication of stable
readings. Details of the last calibration for each sensor are provided and all logged results and calibration
routines are date and time stamped, thus satisfying the requirements of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)
quality assurance protocols.
The units will store up to 100 readings which can subsequently be recalled onto the instrument display or
downloaded to a printer or PC via the bi-directional RS232 link. User programmable options include the
ability to print out current readings or prompt calibration at pre-determined intervals and the setting of alarm
points which are activated when the measured parameters will fall outside the preset limits.
The Model 3345 offers additional flexibility with two additional modes of ion analysis - Known addition/
subtraction mode for the determination of ion concentration closer to the lower detection limit of the electrode,
and multiple Sample addition/subtraction allowing measurement in dense and concentrated matrices.

INSTALLATION
2.1 UNPACKING
Remove the Model 3345 from the packaging and ensure the items within the package are as ordered.
Any shortages or damage should be reported immediately to the Manufacturer or your local
Distributor.
NOTE: Power Supply 021 033 is supplied with a moulded European plug. If this is not
correct for your local supply it should be cut off and a suitable local connector fitted
noting the colours of the internal conductors as follows:
Brown - Live Blue - Neutral
2.2 INSTALLATION
LCD CONTRAST
The LCD contrast can be set at any time. The LCD contrast potentiometer is accessible through the rear
panel adjacent to the power socket.
This adjustment should only need to be made on receipt of the instrument. After initial adjustment the instrument
will automatically adjust the contrast depending on the temperature of the glass.
For instruments supplied with the swing arm electrode holder the following assembly instructions should be
carried out:
1. Unpack the assembly and ensure the following items are present:
a) base block and b) swing arm. Assemble as illustrated. The moulded pivot is a tight push onto the pin.
2. Fit the pH electrode into the cut-out in the support block. The optional temperature probe, if supplied,
should be placed into the small hole in the centre of the block. The cable(s) should be passed through the
retaining clip on the holder and connected to the respective socket on the rear panel.

SETTING LANGUAGE
Move to the SETUP menu using the arrow keys and press the key. Move the cursor to the INSTRUMENT
SETUP mode using the arrow key and press the key.Move the cursor to the LANGUAGE menu
and select the appropriate language by using the arrow keys. Once selected move to the EXIT option and
press the key. Pressing the key a second time will return the instrument to the measurement mode.

of measurement andcalibration point will also be shown at
the side of the main display.
2. TEMPERATURE DISPLAY - sensor 1 temperature display. Selected measurement unit and
MAN to indicate manual temperature will be shown at the
side of the display.
3. ENDPOINT SYMBOL - displayed once a stable reading is detected and is maintained
until the input changes.
4. ERROR MESSAGES - displays error messages for sensor 1.
5. MENU - used for selection of modes of operation. The selected

2.4 CONTROLS
Switches the instrument on and to standby.
Print key. Provides a printout of the current readings with an incremental sample number
depending on instrument operating mode. When pressed for the first time after a calibration,
the print out will give calibration information. The incremental sample number will be
reset after a calibration if auto cal print is set to on.
These keys are used to move around menus and for entering non-numerical functions.
Display select key. Used to toggle between primary and secondary displays.
