Safety information

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 multisensor probes are combination gel-filled electrodes for pH, conductivity and ORP or
dissolved oxygen measurements in general aqueous samples. The multisensor probes have a built­in temperature sensor. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2. Refer to Specifications on page 3 for the
probe parameters. Refer to Sample requirements on page 8.

The multisensor probes are used with sympHony meters. Refer to Meter compatibility on page 5.

Meter compatibility

The multisensor probes are compatible with the sympHony handheld meter models: H30PCO and
H30PCD. Refer to Specifications on page 3 for specific compatibility.

Preparation for use

C A U T I O N

Personal injury hazard. Broken glass can cause cuts. Use tools and personal protective equipment to
remove broken glass.

To prepare the probe for calibration or sample measurement:

1. Turn the probe storage tube(s) and remove from the probe. Keep the probe storage tube(s).

2. Rinse the probe with deionized water. Blot dry with a lint-free cloth.

Polarize the dissolved oxygen probe (89231-660 multisensor)

Before calibration or measurement of dissolved oxygen with the 89231-660 multisensor, polarize the
dissolved oxygen probe.

The dissolved oxygen probe must be polarized every time the multisensor is disconnected from the
meter or the batteries are removed from the meter. The probe is continuously polarized while it is
connected to the meter.

1. Fill the dissolved oxygen probe storage tube with deionized water to the mark.
