PTBT2 FEATURES
1. PUSH BUTTON – Press to turn ON and select mode settings.
2. BATTERY CAP – Unscrew to access battery for replacement.
3. WIRELESS TRANSCEIVER WINDOW - Bluetooth antenna is located here.
4. LED INDICATOR LIGHT – Tells the user when to dip & swirl PTBT2 during
measurements and calibration.
5. pH SENSOR – Measures hydrogen ion concentration of solution.
6. pH SENSOR BULB – Measures test sample’s hydrogen ion concentration.
7. SOAKER CAP – Contains pH sensor storage solution to maintain sensor
hydration. To remove, twist the soaker cap while pulling off using caution not
to spill the storage solution. To replace, fill the soaker cap half full with
storage solution. Twist the soaker cap while pushing back on using caution
as excess storage 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.
8. CAP STOP – DO NOT push the protective cap beyond the cap stop as sensor damage could occur.
9. 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 pH sensor remained fully inserted into the PTBT2. If not, download the full PTBT2
Operation Manual from the Myron L®Company website for instructions on reinstalling the sensor. To use, hold the scoop directly under a vertical
stream during measurement, avoiding bubbles.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
I. CONNECTING THE ULTRAPEN TO THE MOBILE DEVICE
1. Tap the Connect in the Feature Navigation Bar.
2. Press and release the push button on the PTBT2 to turn it ON.
3. When the PTBT2's name appears on the Connect screen, select that line. A checkmark will appear next to PTBT2's name.
NOTE: The default name for all PTBT2's is, "MLC-PTBTx". For instructions on editing the PTBT2's name, tap the Preferences on the
Feature Navigation Bar, select the Help option and refer to the Ultrapen Settings section.
NOTE: To unpair from a PTBTx, tap the red Unpair next to the PTBT2's name then select Disconnect.
II. MAKING MEASUREMENTS: Make sure the PTBT2 is clean. Myron L®Company recommends that you calibrate the PTBT2 before taking
measurements. CAUTION: To measure solution at the extremes of the specified temperature range, allow the PTBT2 to equilibrate by 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 PTBT2 using the scoop to retain accuracy.
1. Rinse the sensor by swirling it in clean water (preferably DI, RO, or purified water) patting it dry with a clean cloth or tissue.
2. Open the Ultrapen App.
3. Tap the Measurement in the Feature Navigation Bar. The screen will say, "Paired Ultrapen is Offline".
4. Press and release the push button to turn the PTBT2 ON.

5. Grasp the PTBT2 near the battery cap to avoid sample contamination.
6. Follow the PTBT2 LED prompts as shown in the table below.

III. MEASUREMENT DATA RECORDS:Measurement data records may be created, sorted, filtered and exported by the Ultrapen PTBTx App. For
Instructions tap the Preferences button on the Feature Navigation Bar and select the Help option refer to the Measurement Records section.
IV. 3-POINT CALIBRATION: Myron L®Company recommends calibrating the PTBT2 twice a month or any time measurements are not as
expected. For best results, fill 2 clean containers with each pH buffer, one as a rinse & one for actual calibration. If you don’t have enough buffer, use
clean water (preferably DI, RO, or purified water for all rinsing. Always rinse the pH sensor between buffer solutions.
1. Rinse the PTBT2 sensor in Myron L®Company 7.0 pH buffer or clean water (preferably DI, RO, or purified water). If possible do not use the same
container of solution to perform the calibration that was used as a pre-calibration rinse.
2. Open the Ultrapen App. Tap the CAL button in the Feature Navigation Bar.
3. Press and release the push button to turn the PTBT2 ON.
4. Press and hold the push button down.
5. When the App prompts you to, press and hold the push button,
6. Select the green CAL button from the App display.
7. Grasp the PTBT2 near the battery cap to avoid sample contamination.
8. While the LED flashes rapidly, dip the PTBT2 in fresh sample solution so that the sensor is completely submerged. If you do not submerge the
sensor in solution before the flashing slows, allow the PTBT2 to power OFF and retake the reading. Small bubbles trapped in the sensor may give a
false calibration. Keep the sensor submerged and preferably at least 1 inch (2½ cm) away from sides/bottom of container.
9. If the 7.0 pH calibration is successful, the App will display “7.0 pH CAL SAVED”.
If “Error” is displayed, check to make sure you are using a proper pH buffer solution. If the solution is correct, download the full PTBT2 Operation
Manual from the Myron L® Company website for troubleshooting instructions.
10. Follow Steps 1 through 9 above using either 4.0 or 10.0 pH buffer. The PTBT2 will automatically recognize and calibrate the proper point based on
the solution used.
11. After the 3rd Cal point is completed, tap the DONE button on the App display to exit the CAL mode and turn OFF the PTBT2.
V. FACTORY CALIBRATION:Factory Calibration (FAC CAL) resets the PTBT2 to its factory settings. Tap the Preferences button on the Feature
Navigation Bar and select the Help option refer to the Factory Calibration section.
MAINTENANCE
I. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When PTBT2 charge level falls below 25% immeadiately replace the battery with a
new N type battery.
1. In a CLEAN DRY place unscrew the battery cap in a counter-clockwise motion.
2. Slide the cap and battery housing out of the PTBT2.
3. Remove the depleted battery from its housing.
4. Insert a new battery into the battery housing oriented with the negative end
touching the spring.
5. Align the groove along the battery housing with the guide bump inside the PTBT2
case and slide the battery housing in.
6. Screw the PTBT2 cap back on in a clockwise direction. Do not over tighten.
II. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
After each use, ALWAYS rinse the sensor with clean water (preferably DI, RO, or purified water), then carefully blot the sensor with a soft, clean cloth
to remove any water drops.
ALWAYS replace the soaker cap (filled with enough Myron L®Company storage solution to cover the sponge inside) on the sensor after each use.
DO NOT push the cap past the cap stop.
Do not drop, throw or otherwise strike the PTBT2. This voids the warranty.
Do not store the PTBT2 in a location where the ambient temperatures exceed its specified Operating/Storage Temperature limits.
