Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this high quality METTLER TOLEDO meter. Ease of use, reliable results and
ergonomic design – these are our goals for products.
The Five meters have an excellent price/performance ratio and many useful accessories (e.g. electrode
clip and wrist strap for the portable meter) are already included in the standard delivery of the instruments.
Other accessories such as electrodes, solutions, an electrode arm for the benchmeter, or a carry bag for
the portable meter are of course also available from METTLER TOLEDO.
You will find much helpful functionality in these meters: Automatic endpoint format which freezes the
measurement automatically when the value is stable, predefined conductivity standards and IP54 design
(FG3) are only few of many exiting features.
