II. TEMPERATURE UNIT SELECTION

The PTBT3 allows you to select either °C (Celsius) or °F (Fahrenheit) when displaying temperature on the iOS screens. To select the
Temperature Units:

III. ORP MODE SELECTION

The PTBT3 allows you to select between two ORP measurement modes:

• HOLD (Default): Once stabilized, the reading is captured then displayed.

• LIVE: Real-time readings are displayed continuously during measurement until the PTBT3 times out.

To select the ORP Mode:

IV. ORP MEASUREMENT

The following table explains the LED Indicator signals and typical durations.

CAUTION: To measure solution at the extremes of the specified temperature or ORP range, or when changing between solutions that have

extreme differences in ORP values, or from high to low ionic strength: Rinse the sensor thoroughly with clean water then allow it to soak in a
sample of the solution to be tested for a minimum of 1 minute. In some applications, such as those with low ionic strength, you may want to
allow the sensor to soak in solution for an hour or more.

NOTE: If you cannot dip the PTBT3 in the sample solution, pour the sample into a clean container. If you don’t have a sample container or need
to test a vertical stream of solution, use the scoop.

9. The App screen will display "Measuring...”

10. While the LED flashes slowly, swirl the PTBT3 to remove bubbles.
a. In HOLD mode: When the LED turns ON solid the display will show the final ORP and temperature readings, then the

PTBT3 will power OFF and the App display will show “Pen Offline”.

b. In LIVE mode allow the PTBT3 to remain in solution while the LED flashes slowly. The display will show live ORP and

temperature readings. The PTBT3 will time out after 5 minute. Press and release the PTBT3’s push button to power it OFF
at any time during LIVE measurement.
