1 Overview
1.1 pH/ION 3310 meter
The pH/ION 3310 meter enables you to perform measurements (pH, U, ISE)
quickly and reliably.
The pH/ION 3310 provides the maximum degree of operating comfort, reliabil-
ity and measuring certainty for all applications.
1.2 Sensors
A measuring system ready to measure consists of the pH/ION 3310 meter and
a suitable sensor.
1 Keypad
2 Display
3 Socket field
Information on available sensors is given on the Internet and in the
WTW catalog, "Laboratory and field instrumentation".
