Introduction
Congratulations! You have selected an industry-leading Orion Star Series meter
designed for electrochemistry measurement in the field or in the laboratory.
• 2 & 3-Star meters provide single measurement of pH, dissolved oxygen,
or conductivity.
• 4-Star meters provide dual-parameter measurements of pH/dissolved oxygen,
pH/conductivity, or pH/ISE (ion selective electrode).
• 5-Star meters provide multi-parameter measurements including mV/ORP.
Built to meet the demands of busy, multi-user laboratories or plant environments, all
meters are microprocessor controlled aiding in the delivery of accurate and precise
measurements. The waterproof portable meters can even withstand submersion
for short periods of time without any negative effect on operation. To better meet
the needs of users in environmental protection and control, food and beverage,
pharmaceutical, and consumer product laboratories, the Orion Star Series meters
include these key features:
• Password Protected Methods – Meter’s memory will save up to ten custom
measurements and calibrations for future reference. Password protection of
each method eliminates any tampering with methods as multiple users access
only the procedure most appropriate to their work.
• AUTO-READ™ – The instrument starts a measurement and automatically prints
or logs data when the reading becomes stable.

Thermo Scientific Orion Star™Series MeterEN-2
• Stirrer Control – Benchtop meters (3-Star and higher) have stirrer control for
the 096019 Stirrer Probe and the AUTO-STIR™ BOD probe, eliminating the need
for additional stir plates and stir bars.
• SMART STABILITY™ and SMART AVERAGING™ – Remove the
guesswork by automatically compensating for measurement conditions thus
optimizing response time.
An easy-to-reference Quick Start Guide, attached to each meter, supports
daily use.
Please read this manual thoroughly before using your benchtop or portable meter.
Any use outside of these instructions could invalidate your warranty and/or cause
permanent damage to the meter.
