Myron L ULTRAPEN PT3 Quick Start Manual

For a complete set of operating instructions, maintenace procedures, calibration procedures, and the FACTORY CAL reset procedure download the full
PT3 Operation Manual from www.myronl.com.
1. Press and release Push Button to turn ON the PT3.
2. LED flashes rapidly: Dip pen in sample solution so sensor is totally submerged.
3. LED flashes slowly: Swirl pen in sample, keeping sensor submerged. Avoid contact with sides/bottom of container.
LIVE Mode: Display will alternate between live pH and temperature readings. Note readings for your records.
HOLD Mode: LED turns Solid ON when Measurement is complete then pen turns OFF.
NOTE: After turning the PT3 ON, press and hold the push button to enter either the calibration or configuration mode.

FEATURES

1. PUSH BUTTON – Press to turn PT3 ON and select mode settings.
2. BATTERY CAP – Unscrew to access battery for replacement.
3. BATTERY INDICATOR – Shows battery charge level.
4. DISPLAY - Displays measurements and menu options.
5. LED INDICATOR LIGHT - Tells the user when to dip & swirl PT3
during measurements and calibration.
6. ORP SENSOR – Contains ORP and Temperature sensor apparatus.
7. PLATINUM ELECTRODE – Measures oxidation-reduction potential
(ORP) or redox of solution.
8. THERMISTOR – Measures test sample's temperature.
9. SOAKER CAP – Contains a sponge soaked in Sensor Storage
Solution to maintain sensor hydration.
• To remove, twist the cap and pull off. Do not spill the Storage
Solution.
• To store the PT3 between uses, fill the cap until sponge is covered. Twist the cap while pushing it onto the ORP Sensor. Do not over fill the cap
or excess solution may squirt out.
NOTE: The formation of KCl crystals around the soaker cap is normal.
• These crystals do not affect the sensor life, performance, or accuracy.
• ALWAYS rinse them off with clean water prior to a performing a test.
10. CAP STOP – DO NOT push the Soaker Cap beyond the Cap Stop as sensor damage could occur.
11. ORP ELECTRODE CLEANING PAPER — For deep cleaning the platinum electrode.
12. SCOOP – Used to hold sample solution when dipping is not possible. To install, push the scoop onto the sensor while shifting side-to-side. To
remove, pull the scoop off while shifting side-to-side. Verify the sensor remained fully inserted into the PT3. If not, download the full PT3 Operation

Manual from the Myron L Company website.
I. MEASUREMENT SETUP:
1. Make sure the pen is clean
®
2. Myron L Company recommends that you calibrate the PT3 before taking measurements (See section III).
II. NORMAL OPERATION:
submerging the sensor in the sample solution for 1 minute prior to taking a measurement.
NOTE: When testing a vertical stream of sample, use the scoop. Recalibrate the pen using the scoop to for best results.
1. Rinse the sensor by swirling it in a container of fresh sample solution or for approximately 30 seconds.
• If using the scoop, hold the scoop under the sample stream for approximately 30 seconds
2. Remove the PT3 from rinse and pat it dry with a clean cloth or tissue.
3. Refill the sample container with fresh test sample.
4. Push and release the push button to turn the PT3 ON.
5. Grasp the pen near the battery cap to avoid sample contamination.
6. Swirl the PT3 in the sample solution while measurement is taking place.
• If you do not submerge the sensor in solution before the flashing slows, allow the pen to power OFF and retake the reading.
• If possible, keep the pen at least 1 inch (2½ cm) away from sides/bottom of container, if applicable.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The following steps should be taken prior to performing a measurement with your PT3:
::
CAUTION To measure solutions at the extremes of the specified temperature range, allow the pen to equilibrate by
Dip pen in test sample and swirl.
Measurement in process; continue to swirl.
• In Hold mode real-time readings are displayed until the LED turns ON solid.
• In Live mode real-time readings are displayed until the PT3 turns OFF.
Measurement is complete. Values are displayed until the PT3 turns OFF.
Measurement Mode: HOLD
