The use of advanced technology and the high quality standard of our
instruments are the result of a continuous development. This may
result in differences between this operating manual and your meter.
Also, we cannot guarantee that there are absolutely no errors in this
manual. Therefore, we are sure you will understand that we cannot
accept any legal claims resulting from the data, figures or descriptions.
Warranty We guarantee the meter described for 3 years from the date of
purchase.
The meter warranty covers manufacturing faults that are discovered
within the warranty period.
The warranty does not cover components that are replaced during
maintenance work, e. g. batteries.
The warranty claim extends to restoring the meter to readiness for use
but not, however, to any further claim for damages. Improper handling
or unauthorized opening of the meter invalidates any warranty claim.
To ascertain the warranty liability, return the meter and proof of
purchase together with the date of purchase freight paid or prepaid.

1Overview
1.1 General features
The ProLab 2000 precision meter enables you to perform pH, ORP,
conductivity, dissolved oxygen (D.O.) and ion-selective measurements
rapidly and reliably.
The ProLab 2000 provides the maximum degree of ease of use,
reliability and, above all, measuring certainty for all applications.
The proven calibration procedures, and stability control function (SC)
and the sensor recognition function support your work with the meter.
In addition, the ProLab 2000 provides an electronic access control.
Documented measurement data is thus automatically assigned to a
user.

1.2 Keypad
In this operating manual, keys are indicated by brackets <..> .
The key symbol (e.g. <MENU/OK>) generally indicates a short
keystroke (under 2 sec) in this operating manual. A long keystroke
(approx. 2 sec) is indicated by the underscore behind the key symbol
(e.g. <MENU/OK_>).
