Equipped with two measurement channels to facilitate flexible analysis, the Orion™ Pro Star PI217 meter features a wide range of parameter capabilities, including pH, mV, ORP or ion concentration with temperature on channel 1; pH, mV, ORP or ion concentration with temperature on channel 2.

Easily control the large seven-inch color touchscreen display. The Orion™ Pro Star PI217 meter presents a thoughtfully designed interface to give you everything you need at your fingertips. Seamlessly navigate to view measurements, complete calibrations, export data, and more on the crystal clear, high-resolution screen. Equipped with an ergonomic angled display, users can view key details clearly and comfortably. A responsive touchscreen helps ensure optimal usability in a variety of environments, even when a gloved hand is required. Built to meet the needs of your testing preferences, the Orion™ Pro Star PI217 meter empowers flexibility. Measurement channels can be viewed individually or both simultaneously. Choose to view data in a basic, advanced or customized format. The basic format provides a streamlined look at measurements, whereas the advanced layout provides a more detailed view. Alternatively, users can opt to display or hide elements to their liking via a customized layout. Individual measurements can also be viewed in a graph with temperature for measurement versus time studies. Enhance convenience and efficiency with the assistance of optional meter accessories. While conducting measurements, easily input sample identification details using a USB barcode scanner, USB keyboard, or USB mouse. Eliminate the need for magnetic stir plates and bars by adding a one or two meter-controlled stirrer probe to achieve uniform sample stirring.

First-time meter startup is made easy with the Orion™ Pro Star meter. The onscreen setup wizard guides users through important meter and measurement settings, providing onscreen meter tours and guides for calibration, measurements, meter connections, electrode stand assembly, and pH electrode usage. Guided calibrations offer step-by-step instructions to assist users with performing calibrations correctly, helping to ensure accurate, reliable and reportable measurements. The meter’s calibration log saves, displays and exports up to 20 calibrations per parameter with date and time stamps. Calibration logs are filterable by user and exportable by date range, or all at once.

Measurements can easily be saved to the data log for long-term data retention with the Orion™ Pro Star meter. The data log saves, displays and exports up to 10,000 data sets with date and time stamps. Individual data log sets offer extensive measurement information organized into an easy-to-read onscreen list format. Data log sets are filterable by user, date and time, or log number, and exportable by date and time range, log number range, or all at once. Methods offer the option to save measurement settings to standardize your analyses and SOPs on the Orion™ Pro Star meter. Up to 10 methods can be saved per channel and parameter and methods can be imported and exported to and from other Orion™ Pro Star bench meters. Similarly, incremental techniques for determining ion concentration can be saved, imported and exported to standardize your known addition, known subtraction, analyte addition, and analyte subtraction analysis.

The secure mode feature included on the Orion™ Pro Star meter allows up to three administrators and 30 users individual account logins with password protection. Administrators can select from pre-defined user access levels to meter functions. Control access to date and time settings, instrument settings, data logs, and calibration logs, or customize each user’s access level from full access to basic data collection only. Administrators can also export the user list and audit trail to help ensure digital data integrity.
Output data logs, calibration logs and methods to a printer, computer, or USB flash drive for long-term data retention on the Orion™ Pro Star meter. Data can be saved as report files for easy viewing or comma separated value (CSV) files for import into programs like Microsoft Excel. Exported files can be customized to include all data, advanced data, intermediate data or basic data only, allowing each user to obtain the exact information they need. The Orion™ Pro Star meter also offers bidirectional communication with remote commands for meters interfacing with computer programs, including LIMS, HyperTerminal, PuTTY, and additional data collection software.

For pH calibrations, the Orion™ Pro Star meter provides the option to perform flexible one- to five-point calibrations or set a required number of calibration points from one to four. Users may also input adjustable slope guidance with the option to define Excellent, Fair and Bad slope ranges to facilitate an easier understanding of calibration results. For ion concentration calibrations, the Orion™ Pro Star meter provides the option to perform flexible one- to five-point calibrations or set a required number of calibration points from one to four. Users may also employ blank correction and low level stability features to optimize their ion concentration measurements. The electrode stand included with the Orion™ Pro Star meter facilitates secure, smooth movement of electrodes into and out of solutions. A weighted base provides flexible placement of the stand in proximity to the meter. Numerous electrode holder options secure a wide range of electrode types. Built-in side channels allow electrode cables to be neatly organized inside of the stand.
