2 Display 3 Connectors Sensors A measuring system ready to measure consists of the pH 3310 IDS meter and a suitable sensor. Suitable sensors are WTW IDS pH and ORP sensors. Information on available IDS sensors is given on the Internet and in the WTW catalog, "Laboratory and field instrumentation".
to hide menus automatically that do not concern this sensor To be able to use the automatic sensor recognition, a meter that supports the automatic sensor recognition (e.g. pH 3310 IDS) and a digital IDS sensor are required. In digital IDS sensors, sensor data are stored that clearly identify the sensor.

3310 IDS Glossary Glossary pH/ORP Asymmetry see zero point Junction The junction is a porous body in the housing wall of reference elec- trodes or electrolyte bridges. It arranges the electrical contact between two solutions and makes the electrolyte exchange more difficult. The expression, junction, is also used for ground or junction-less transitions.
