INTRODUCTION
The Myron L®Company ULTRAPENX2, Bluetooth®enabled pocket testers are designed to be extremely accurate, fast and simple to
use in diverse water quality applications when paired with a mobile device. A free App provides easy-to-read displays and user-intuitive
Graphical User Interface (GUI). The Bluetooth wireless connection means that there are no bothersome wires getting in the way when
moving quickly between samples and that the paired mobile device can be located safely away from liquids.
Advanced features include: Automatic temperature compensation; stable microprocessor-based circuitry and a rugged, waterproof
housing.
Available Models:
●PTBT1 –Conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Salinity, and Temperature measurement.
●PTBT2 –pH and Temperature measurement.
●PTBT3 –ORP & Temperature measurement.
●Coming Soon:
○PTBT4 –Free Chlorine Equivalent (FCE™) & Temperature measurement.
○PTBT5 –Dissolved Oxygen & Temperature measurement.
Using the mobile device’s touch screen:
●Initiate Measurements and Calibrations.
●Each ULTRAPENX2 can be given a unique name so it is easily identifiable no matter what mobile device is used with it.
●Measurement locations can be programmed as:
○GPS locations that are automatically selected when the user is close to a specific measurement local, or;
○Non-GPS locations for applications where test sites are too close together for the GPS to differentiate.
●Measurements can be saved to the mobile device's memory including measurement data, ULTRAPENX2 settings, date and time,
sample temperature, ULTRAPENX2 name and measurement location.
●Records can be exported via the mobile device’s email function as either .csv, .xls, or .xlsx formatted files.
●Recorded measurements can be sorted and filtered to select a subset of records that can then be emailed or deleted without
affecting other records stored in memory.

1. Push Button –Press to turn PTBT2 ON and place it in Standby Mode.
2. Battery Cap –Unscrew to change battery.
3. LED Indicator Light –Flashes rapidly when the PTBT2 is MEASURING and once every 5 seconds when the PTBT2 is in STANDBY
mode.
4. pH Sensor –Includes pH Sensor to measure hydrogen ion concentration of solution and thermistor to measure temperature.
5. Cap Stop –Pushing the protective cap beyond the cap stop may damage the Sensor.
6. Protective / Hydration Cap –Protects Sensor from damage and holds MLC Storage Solution to preserve Sensor functionality.
●To remove the cap, wiggle it side to side while pulling Sensor from the PTBT2 body.
●To replace, fill the cap half full ONLY with storage solution. Wiggle the cap side to side while pushing it onto the PTBT2.
○Be careful, excess solution may squirt out.
7. Scoop –Contains sample solution for measurement when sampling from a vertical stream. Refer to the section titled “Using the Scoop”.
NOTE: The formation of KCl crystals around the Protective/Hydration cap is normal and will not affect the Sensor life, performance, or
accuracy provided they are rinsed off with water prior to use.
