Meter and Autosampler Setup
1. Select a location for the system and unpack the autosampler and meter
components. Prepare the autosampler according to the autosampler user guide.
2. Interface the autosampler with the meter. Use the autosampler to meter

3. If the Orion Star printer will be used, use the autosampler to printer interface
cable, Cat. No. 223664-001, to connect the Com 2 RS232 port on the
autosampler to the 25 pin female RS232 port on the printer.
Note:
The printer must have a 9600 baud rate to be connected to the
autosampler. The
Orion Star printer, Cat. No. 1010006, is recommended for use with the Orion Star LogR
meter and AutoTration-500 autosampler system.
4. Prepare and install the electrodes. Prepare the electrodes according to the
electrode user guides. Connect the electrodes to the back of the meter
using the extension cables and cable management system provided with the
autosampler. Insert the electrodes into the electrode holder on the autosampler
If a stirrer probe will be used, connect the stirrer probe to the stirrer jack on the
back of the meter and insert it into the electrode holder on the autosampler.
5. Connect the meter, autosampler and printer to a power supply and turn on the
power. The default meter baud rate is 9600 and the default autosampler baud
rate for the Com 1 port is 1200, so the meter baud rate needs to be set to 1200
or the autosampler dip switches need to be adjusted to 9600 for the Com 1 port.
