INTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting the feature-packed P

ool

™, 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 P

ool

measures conductivity, Mineral/SALT (Sodium Chloride/

NaCl), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), pH, ORP/Redox and Temperature

in one simple to use instrument. Model PS6si has been redesigned to

include free chlorine measurements, an LSI & Hardness Calculator for

water balance analysis, and

Bluetooth® data transfer with the bluDock™

option. Additional features include a clock with time and date, a 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 new feature is data logging with the ability to download

the memory or stored test data wirelessly with its corresponding time, date

and instrument 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™,

Vista™ or 7™, or Macintosh 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 P

ool

Special note.....Conductivity, Mineral/Salt, and TDS require mathematical

correction to 25°C values (ref. Temperature Compensation, pg. 33). On

the left of the P

ool

’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, or

442™. Selection affects the temperature correction of conductivity, and

the calculation of TDS from compensated conductivity (ref. Conductivity

Conversion to Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), pg. 36). The selection can

affect the reported conductivity of hot or cold solutions, and will change

the reported TDS of a solution. Generally, using KCl for conductivity,

NaCl for Mineral/Salt, and 442 for TDS will reflect present industry

practice for standardization. This is how your instrument, as shipped

from the factory, is set to operate.
