INTRODUCTION
AD11 and AD12 are waterproof pH and tem-
perature testers. The housing has been com-
pletely sealed against humidity.
All pH readings are automatically temperature
compensated (ATC), and temperature values
can be displayed in °C or °F units.
The meter can be calibrated at one or two points
for pH with auto-buffer recognition and against
five memorized buffer values.
Measurements are highly accurate with a unique
stability indicator right on the LCD. The mod-
els are also provided with a low battery symbol
which warns the user when the batteries need
to be replaced.
The AD11P pH electrode, supplied with the
meter, is interchangeable and can be easily re-
placed by the user.
The encapsulated temperature sensor allows
fast and accurate temperature measurement and
compensation.
Each meter is supplied complete with:
• AD11P pH electrode
• 4 x 1.5V batteries, button type
• User manual
