Mettler-Toledo’s M300 transmitter series combine versatility and reliability with robustness and ease of use in pH/ORP, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, dissolved ozone and flow applications. Single and dual channel versions are available with multiparameter capability. A large four line display simplifies the installation and configuration, both of which are menu driven. Datalogging and software upgrades are accomplished through the USB port provided.
These features make the Mettler-Toledo Thornton brand transmitters first choice for many users in the power and pure water treatment industries. In addition, they include application-specific high purity temperature compensation of conductivity and pH, as well as computation of pH from specific and cat-ion conductivity measurements.
The practicality of the hardware combined with an intuitive, self explanatory user interface enables set-up and operation without prolonged study of operating manuals or costly personnel training. In addition, continuous monitoring of pH electrodes via integrated diagnostic functions provides the real-time status of the electrode and allows any failures to be quickly rectified. The time required for maintenance and calibration is kept to a minimum through the clear user prompting of the transmitter.
