Description
Shown when the meter is running on AC power
Shown when the meter is running on battery power
Indicates when data is exported to a computer or printer
Indicates when a measurement is recorded in the data log
Shown when an alarm is set and the alarm is triggered
Indicates the RS232 port is selected for printer or computer interfacing
Indicates the USB port is selected for printer or computer interfacing
Displays the active temperature measurement and indicates the source as an
ATC temperature sensor (ATC) or manually entered temperature value (MAN)
Shown when the hold key is pressed and displayed measurements are frozen,
press the hold key a second time to release the hold function
Indicates a calibration has been successfully completed, flashes when the
calibration alarm is set and the alarm is triggered
Indicates the pH electrode condition as good (two bars), fair (one bar) or bad
(slash through it), based on the last saved calibration and electrode stability
Indicates the active measurement method number, M100 and M200 are the
default methods and indicate a password-protected method is not in use
Stability indicator will flash stabilizing while the measurement is changing and
show ready when the measurement is stable
When the read type is set to Auto-Read, the icon will flash while the reading is
stabilizing and remain solid when the reading is stable and locked on the display
Indicates the sample ID function is active, the operator assigned number is
shown to the right of the icon
Indicates the user ID function is active, the operator assigned name is shown to
the right of the icon
pH Electrode Condition Icon
Orion Star A211 pH meters, Orion Star A214 pH/ISE meters, Orion Star A215 pH/conductivity
meters and Orion Star A216 pH/RDO/DO meters include a pH electrode condition icon. In the
measurement mode, the pH electrode condition icon indicates the performance of the pH
electrode, based on the last saved calibration and electrode measurement stability.

pH Electrode Status
Electrode condition is good. The electrode slope is in the range of 95.1% to 104.9%.
Electrode condition is fair. The electrode slope is 85.1% to 95% or 105% to 114.9%.
Electrode condition is bad. The electrode slope is 85% or lower or 115% or higher. Consult the
pH electrode manual for instructions on how to clean, condition and troubleshoot the electrode.
Note: This is a general indicator of overall electrode status – always refer to the pH electrode
user manual for specific information on the recommended slope range for each pH electrode.
