Thank you for selecting the feature-packed Ultrameter III™, one of the
Myron L Company’s latest in an increasing line of instruments utilizing
advanced microprocessor-based circuitry and SMT manufacturing
processes. This circuitry makes the instrument extremely accurate,
reliable and very easy to use.
The Ultrameter III™ has been designed to include titration measurements
for Alkalinity, Hardness and LSI and an LSI Calculator for water balance
analysis. The Ultrameter III also features optional Bluetooth® wireless
data transfer. Other features include a clock with time and date, memory
of up to 100 locations with time and date stamp, the ability of the user
to adjust the timeout “Auto OFF”, and enhanced performance. See
Features and Specifications on pages 2-3.
The most exciting feature is data logging with the ability to wirelessly
download the memory or stored test data with its corresponding time,
date and unit name. This feature allows the user to create spreadsheets
and graphs with ease, and quickly and accurately manipulate data more
effectively. The optional bluDock™ and accompanying U2CI software
is compatible with most computers using either Microsoft Windows XP,
2000, 2007 or Vista™ or Macintosh OS9.2 or OSX™. The data may
be imported into a variety of spreadsheet formats like Microsoft Excel
CSV™.
Please Note: Although the Myron L Company has performed extensive
testing, we cannot guarantee compatibility of all applications and formats.
We suggest testing your application and format for compatibility before
relying on it.
For your convenience, a brief set of instructions is provided on the bottom
side of your Ultrameter III. A small waterproof card with abbreviated
instructions is also included with the instrument as a quick reference.
Special note ... Conductivity, resistivity, and TDS require mathematical
correction to 25°C values (ref. Temperature Compensation, pg. 56). On
the left of the Ultrameter III’s liquid crystal display is shown an indicator of
the salt solution characteristic used to model temperature compensation
of conductivity and its TDS conversion. The indicator may be KCl,
NaCl, 442™ or User. Selection affects the temperature correction of
conductivity and the calculation of TDS from compensated conductivity
(ref. Conductivity Conversion to Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), pg. 59).
The selection can affect the reported conductivity of hot or cold solutions
and will change the reported TDS of a solution. Using KCl for conductivity,
NaCl for resistivity, and 442™ (Natural Water characteristic) for TDS is
consistent with present industry practice for standardization. This is how
your instrument, as shipped from the factory, is set to operate. For use in
seawater desalination for example, both the conductivity and TDS may
easily be changed to NaCl.
