1Thermo Scientiﬁc Orion DUAL STAR™pH/ISE Meter User Guide

Chapter 1 Introduction

General Information

This user guide contains information on the preparation, operation and

maintenance of the Thermo Scientific Orion DUAL STAR pH/ISE benchtop meter.

The Orion DUAL STAR meter has two measuring channels and is capable of

measuring pH, concentration (ISE), raw millivolts (mV), relative millivolts (RmV),

oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) and temperature.

Display Features

The large, backlit LCD screen on the Orion DUAL STAR meter displays both

measuring channels simultaneously or each measuring channel separately. Step-

by-step instructions and prompts are displayed on the meter to assist operators

with the setup, calibration and autosampler menus. A calibration graph, which

includes the electrode slope between points and the average slope, can be

viewed in the calibration mode.

Data Features

The Orion DUAL STAR meter can save up to 10 calibrations per channel and 1000

data points in the meter data log. A graph of the calibration points with slope can

be viewed on the meter display and printed. Calibration and measurement data

can be exported from the meter to a printer or computer. The meter saves up to

10 methods per channel, so switching the meter to different testing methods is

fast and simple.

Automation Features

The Orion DUAL STAR meter can be interfaced with the AutoTration™-500

autosampler for automated laboratory analysis.The autosampler has a 28 beaker

rack or 48 beaker rack for comprehensive, interchangeable configurations. The

autosampler function for the Orion DUAL STAR meter will be available in 2009.

Troubleshooting Features

Troubleshooting procedures are available in the meter setup menu and include a

meter stability test, meter self-test and meter reset functions.
