1 Overview
1.1 MultiLab 4010-1 meter
The compact, digital precision meter MultiLab 4010-1 enables you to carry out
pH measurements, ORP measurements, conductivity measurements and dis-
solved oxygen (D.O.) measurements quickly and reliably.
The MultiLab 4010-1 provides the maximum degree of operating comfort, reli-
ability and measuring certainty for all applications.
The MultiLab 4010-1 supports you in your work with the following functions:
Automatic sensor recognition
CMC (continuous measurement control)
QSC (sensor quality control)
Electronic access control
Data transmission via the USB interface (USB-B).

1.2 MultiLab 4010P-1 meter with integrated printer
The integrated printer of the MultiLab 4010P-1 enables to document measure-
ments according to GLP requirements.
1.3 Sensors
A measuring system ready to measure consists of the MultiLab 4010-1 meter
and a suitable sensor.
Suitable sensors are IDS pH sensors, IDS ORP sensors, IDS conductivity
sensors and IDS D.O. sensors.
1.3.1 IDS sensors
IDS sensors
support the automatic sensor recognition
show only the settings relevant to the specific sensor in the setting menu
process signals in the sensor digitally so that precise and interference-free
measurements are enabled even with long cables
facilitate to assign a sensor to a measured parameter with differently colored
couplings
The information concerning the printer of the MultiLab 4010P-1 is
given in a separate chapter (see section 12 PRINTER (ONLY
MULTILAB 4010P-1), page 83).

have quick-lock couplings with which to fix the sensors to the meter.
Sensor data from
IDS sensors
IDS sensors transmit the following sensor data to the meter:
SENSOR ID
– Sensor name
– Sensor series number
Calibration data
Measurement settings
The calibration data are updated in the IDS sensor after each calibration proce-
dure. A message is displayed while the data are being updated in the sensor.
1.3.2 Automatic sensor recognition
The automatic sensor recognition for IDS sensors allows
to operate an IDS sensor with different meters without recalibrating
to assign measurement data to an IDS sensor
– Measurement datasets are always stored and output with the sensor
name and sensor series number.
to assign calibration data to an IDS sensor
– Calibration data and calibration history are always stored and output with
the sensor name and sensor series number.
to hide menus automatically that do not concern this sensor
To be able to use the automatic sensor recognition, a meter that supports the
automatic sensor recognition (e.g. MultiLab 4010-1) and a digital IDS sensor
are required.
In digital IDS sensors, sensor data are stored that clearly identify the sensor.
The sensor data are automatically taken over by the meter.
In the measured value display, you can display the sensor name
and series number of the selected sensor with the [Info] softkey.
You can then display further sensor data stored in the sensor with
the [More] softkey (see section 4.1.5 SENSOR INFO, page 18).

2 Safety
2.1 Safety information
2.1.1 Safety information in the operating manual
This operating manual provides important information on the safe operation of
the meter. Read this operating manual thoroughly and make yourself familiar
with the meter before putting it into operation or working with it. The operating
manual must be kept in the vicinity of the meter so you can always find the infor-
mation you need.
Important safety instructions are highlighted in this operating manual. They are
indicated by the warning symbol (triangle) in the left column. The signal word
(e.g. "Caution") indicates the level of danger:
NOTE
indicates a possibly dangerous situation where goods might be damaged
if the actions mentioned are not taken.
2.1.2 Safety signs on the meter
Note all labels, information signs and safety symbols on the meter and in the
battery compartment. A warning symbol (triangle) without text refers to safety
information in this operating manual.
2.1.3 Further documents providing safety information
The following documents provide additional information, which you should
observe for your safety when working with the measuring system:
• Operating manuals of sensors and other accessories
• Safety datasheets of calibration or maintenance accessories (such as buffer
solutions, electrolyte solutions, etc.)
WARNING
indicates a possibly dangerous situation that can lead to seri-
ous (irreversible) injury or death if the safety instruction is not
followed.
CAUTION
indicates a possibly dangerous situation that can lead to
slight (reversible) injury if the safety instruction is not fol-
lowed.

2.2 Safe operation
2.2.1 Authorized use
The authorized use of the meter consists exclusively of the measurement of the
pH, ORP, conductivity and dissolved oxygen in a laboratory environment.
Only the operation and running of the meter according to the instructions and
technical specifications given in this operating manual is authorized (see
section 15 TECHNICAL DATA, page 92).
Any other use is considered unauthorized.
2.2.2 Requirements for safe operation
Note the following points for safe operation:

4.1.1 Keypad
In this operating manual, keys are indicated by brackets <..>.
The key symbol (e.g. <MENU/ENTER>) generally indicates a short keystroke
(press and release) in this operating manual. A long keystroke (press and hold
for approx. 2 sec) is indicated by the underscore behind the key symbol (e.g.
<MENU/ENTER__>).

4.1.5 Sensor info
You can display the current sensor data and sensor settings of a connected
sensor at any time. The sensor data are available in the measured value
display with the <F1>/[Info] softkey.

CAUTION
Only connect sensors to the meter that cannot return any volt-
ages or currents that are not allowed (> SELV and > current
circuit with current limiting).
YSI IDS sensors and IDS adapters meet these requirements.

4.4 Login with a user name
After activation of the user administration by the administrator (software
MultiLab User, on the enclosed CD-ROM), measurements
are only possible after login with a user name. The user
name is documented with the measured values and in records.
All user names entered by the administrator are listed in the User name menu.
The administrator determines for each user whether or not a
password is required for the login to the meter.
If the Password menu item is grayed out, no password is required for
the login.
If the user administration function is activated, the Login dialog
appears after the meter is switched on (see section 4.4 LOGIN WITH
AUSER NAME, page 20).
The user administration function is not active in the delivery condi-
tion.
