Dual-Channel Measurement Capabilities

The PC215 uses two independent measurement channels, allowing simultaneous analysis of multiple parameters.

Channel 1 measures:

• pH
• mV
• ORP
• Ion concentration (ISE)
• Temperature

Channel 2 measures:

• Conductivity
• Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
• Salinity
• Resistivity
• Temperature

As a result, laboratories can perform comprehensive multiparameter testing while improving productivity.

Advanced Features

Guided Setup and Calibration

The integrated setup wizard guides users through initial configuration and measurement settings. In addition, interactive meter tours explain calibration procedures, electrode installation, meter connections, and routine maintenance.

Guided calibration walks users through each calibration step, helping them obtain accurate, repeatable, and reportable measurement results.

Flexible Display Options

The large touchscreen supports Basic, Advanced, and Custom display layouts to match different testing requirements.

Moreover, users can display either one measurement channel or both channels simultaneously. Graph View also allows measurements and temperature to be monitored over time, making the instrument ideal for stability studies and continuous monitoring applications.

Sample Identification and Stirring

Optional USB accessories—including barcode scanners, keyboards, and mice—simplify sample identification during testing. Meanwhile, the optional meter-controlled stirrer probe provides consistent sample mixing without requiring a separate magnetic stir plate.

Calibration and Data Management

The PC215 provides powerful tools for managing calibration records and measurement data.

Users can store up to 20 calibration records per parameter with complete date and time information. Furthermore, calibration logs can be filtered by operator and exported individually or as complete records.

Measurement data management is equally comprehensive. The instrument stores up to 10,000 measurement records with detailed information for every analysis. Users can quickly search records by operator, date, time, or log number before exporting selected entries or the complete database.

Connectivity and Data Export

Laboratories can export data logs, calibration records, and stored methods directly to a USB flash drive, printer, or computer.

Additionally, exported files can be saved in CSV format for Microsoft Excel or as printable report files for documentation purposes. Laboratories can also customize exported reports to include only the required level of measurement detail.

Bidirectional communication further supports integration with LIMS, HyperTerminal, PuTTY, and other laboratory software systems.

Method Management and Advanced ISE Functions

The PC215 allows users to save up to ten methods for each measurement channel, ensuring consistent testing procedures across multiple laboratories.

Furthermore, methods can be imported and exported between Orion Pro Star meters. The instrument also supports advanced ion analysis through single and double known addition, known subtraction, analyte addition, and analyte subtraction techniques, providing excellent flexibility for ISE applications.

Secure User Management

Secure Mode enhances data protection by supporting up to three administrator accounts and thirty individual user accounts.

Administrators can assign customized permission levels for instrument settings, calibration records, data logs, and measurement functions. Consequently, laboratories maintain strong control over data integrity while meeting regulatory compliance requirements.

User lists and audit trails can also be exported for quality assurance and documentation.

Electrode Stand

The included electrode stand enables smooth and secure electrode movement during measurements. Its weighted base offers flexible positioning, while integrated cable management channels keep the laboratory workspace organized and uncluttered.
