Certification
Canadian Radio Interference-Causing Equipment Regulation, IECS-003, Class A:
Supporting test records reside with the manufacturer.
This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing
Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil numérique de classe A répond à toutes les exigences de la réglementation canadienne
sur les équipements provoquant des interférences.
FCC Part 15, Class "A" Limits
Supporting test records reside with the manufacturer. The device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions:
1. The equipment may not cause harmful interference.
2. The equipment must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at their expense. The following techniques can be used to reduce
interference problems:
English 5
1. Disconnect the equipment from its power source to verify that it is or is not the source of the
interference.
2. If the equipment is connected to the same outlet as the device experiencing interference, connect
the equipment to a different outlet.
3. Move the equipment away from the device receiving the interference.
4. Reposition the receiving antenna for the device receiving the interference.
5. Try combinations of the above.
Product overview
N O T I C E
Always disconnect power to the meter before an electrode is changed. Only use the meter as instructed in this
manual or instrument damage can occur.
The meter is available in two models:
• H160—pH and ORP
• H170—pH, ORP, conductivity, TDS and salinity
The H-series waterproof handheld meters use glass sensor electrodes with BNC connectors and
non-glass probes with ISFET (ion sensitive field effect transistor) silicon chip sensors. The meters
use one pH electrode (a BNC pH electrode or an ISFET pH probe) at a time. When a meter is set to
on, the meter automatically identifies the type of electrode that is attached.

Installation
CAUTION
Multiple hazards. Only qualified personnel must conduct the tasks described in this section of the
document.
Electrical installation
Install the batteries
CAUTION
Explosion hazard. Incorrect battery installation can cause the release of explosive gases. Be sure that
the batteries are of the same approved chemical type and are inserted in the correct orientation. Do not
mix new and used batteries.
N O T I C E
Do not tighten the screws too much or instrument damage can occur.
N O T I C E
Do not complete this operation with probes attached to the meter. Remove all probes from the meter or
instrument damage can occur.
The meter uses AA alkaline or rechargeable NiMH batteries. To conserve the battery life, refer to
Configure the meter on page 10 to configure automatic shutdown of the meter.
Refer to Figure 3 to install the batteries.
Items to collect:
• Phillips screwdriver
• AA Alkaline batteries (4x)

Probe and connection types
N O T I C E
Make sure that all the rubber plugs are fully installed before the handheld meter is put in water or the interior of
the 3.5 mm phono jack will fill with water. However, the interior of the handheld meter will stay sealed. If water
gets into the 3.5 mm phono jack, immediately invert the meter to let water come out of the phone jack, then let the
connector dry.
N O T I C E
Always set the power to off before a probe connection is changed or damage to the instrument can occur.
The meter can connect to two pH-sensing technologies: ISFET pH probes and glass electrodes.
When the meter is set to on, it automatically recognizes the type of probe attached. The meter only
uses one type of pH probe at a time.
Note: If a probe is not attached to the meter, the selected mode is inactive.
