I. INTRODUCTION
Myron L®Company’s new 900 Series Multi-Parameter Monitor/Controllers combine accuracy, reliability, simplicity,
and flexibility. The easy to read, 3.5” color TFT display with resistive touch-screen and user intuitive GUI
(Graphical User Interface) allows easy and complete programmability of the instrument all from the LCD touch
screen. These highly accurate instruments have the ability for simultaneous monitoring and controlling of multiple
inputs/outputs.
Since temperature compensation (TC) is at the heart of accurate water measurement, all 900 Series
Monitor/Controllers feature a highly refined and precise TC correction algorithm based on years of proven
experience. Conductivity, TDS, Resistivity, Salinity, and pH readings are corrected to 25˚C. The TC feature may
be turned off to conform to USP requirements.
