Overview of the Portavo 908 The Portavo 908 MULTI is a portable multi parameter meter for use with Memosens sensors or the Model SE 340 optical oxygen Quiver sensor. The micro USB port allows the meter to be connected to a printer for printing currently measured values or a calibration record including sensor data.
Overview of the Portavo 908 Value-Added Features Memosens The Portavo 908 can communicate with Memosens sensors. These digital sensors are automatically identified and the meter switches to the appropriate measurement method. When a Memosens sensor is connected to the meter, it is indicated by the logo shown on the right.
Overview of the Portavo 908 Protective Cover The front of the meter is protected by a cover, which can be completely flipped over and secured to the back for operation. Hook A foldout hook on the back allows the meter to be suspended. This leaves your hands free for the actual measurement.
Overview of the Portavo 908 Display and Keypad Display and keypad correspond directly via softkeys.

Start-Up Check the shipment for transport damage and completeness (see Package Contents). NOTICE! Do not operate the device when one of the following conditions applies: • the device shows visible damage • the device fails to perform the intended function •...
Start-Up Connecting a Sensor You can connect a Memosens sensor for pH/ORP, conductivity or oxygen measure- ment to the Portavo 908. The Model SE 340 optical oxygen sensor can also be con- nected. The meter automatically recognizes the connected sensor and accordingly selects the corresponding process variable.
Start-Up Switching On the Meter You can use meas or on/off to switch the meter on: • With meas, the meter immediately switches to measuring mode. • With on/off, first a self test is performed and then the calibration data and settings are displayed before the meter switches to measuring mode.

Data Logger Oxy Cond Interval and Difference (Combined) When the delta range related to the last DIFF entry is exceeded, a new entry is created (example: entry A) and the delta range is displaced upwards or downwards by the delta value. As long as the measured value remains within the delta range, logging is performed at the preset interval.
Data Logger Oxy Cond Configuring the Data Logger Prerequisite: Data logger is stopped. The “Data logger” menu shows the number of occupied entries as well as the number of free entries. Configuration can also be done in the “Configuration” menu under “Data logger”.
