GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION
OVERVIEW
The Model 1200 Colorimeter is a portable, microprocessor controlled, direct
reading colorimeter. The microprocessor enables factory programmed calibrations
to optimally match non-linear curves. The auto zero feature eliminates the need
to dial in the zero manually. A sealed keypad controls the operation. The large
display presents measurements in ppm concentration and indicates low battery
warnings. The 1200 will turn off automatically after 5 minutes to prolong battery
life. This will not affect the user calibration and the meter will not have to be
re-zeroed. The calibration and the last zero reading will be stored in memory.
The 1200 is supplied with a 9 volt alkaline battery. An optional AC power
adapter is available.
A RS-232 serial port on the back of the meter allows an interface of the
colorimeter with a computer for real time data acquisition and data storage using
the PC. This port also allows an interface with a RS-232 serial printer.
