Replace the battery cover and replace the captive screws. 1-2 Sample Cell Adapters The V-2000 comes with 2 sample cell adapters: 13 mm adapter for Vacu-vials; 16 mm adapter for COD Vials. The adapters ensure correct alignment of the ampoule or vial being used. If the ampoule or vial is not aligned correctly (i.e.

For these pre-programmed methods, the instrument gives direct readout test results. The V-2000 also offers the user the option of taking readings in absorbance or % Transmittance at each of the 4 available wavelengths (program numbers 1 - 4). Absorbance readings can then be used to generate a user specific calibration equation.
Supported Parameters in Chapter 9 of this manual is displayed with the suggested number of significant digits for each particular method. The digits resolution setting on the V-2000 is not method specific, and therefore must be NOTE: reset as needed when moving from one preprogrammed method to another.
Press the setup key and use the • or – keys until “DIGITS” is displayed, then press the yes key. Use the • or – keys until the desired resolution is displayed, then press the yes key. Press the meas key to exit the setup menu. 2-4 Clock The clock function allows the user to set the time and date.
Press the meas key to exit the setup menu. 2-10 Upload The upload function allows the user to update the V-2000 to the most current method program revision. The V-2000 is updated by logging on to the CHEMetrics website, www.chemetrics.com and clicking on the V-2000 Upload New Methods link.
More parameter specific information is provided in the kit instructions supplied with each Vacu-vial or COD test kit. The V-2000 must be zeroed prior to each series of measurements. Additionally, if the ampoule/vial adapter has been removed or comes loose during operation, the V-2000 should be re-zeroed.
Install the appropriate sample cell adapter into the photometer. Turn the photometer on by pressing the power key. Insert the zeroing vial into the V-2000, cover the zeroing vial with the light shield, and press the zero key. “Wait” is displayed, then the result is displayed as “0.000".
When a test result is being displayed by the instrument, press the log key. The log icon will appear in the display. The V-2000 will display “1 LOGGED”. As new test results are logged, the number preceding LOGGED will append to reflect the number of saved test results.
When connecting the RS-232 cable to a computer, a serial connector may be required (a 25 pin to 9 pin adapter is included with the V-2000). If your computer or printer does not have a serial port, you will need to purchase a separate adapter that will allow you to connect the V-2000 RS-232 serial cable to the USB port on your printer or computer.
Start Bit Flow Control Hardware NOTE: The baud rate selected in Hyper Terminal must match the V-2000 baud rate. See Chapter 2, Section 2-5 Baud Rate. 11. From the HyperTerminal menu, select Transfer. Click on Capture Text. Enter the path and name of the file created in Step 1.

Chapter 7 Custom User Programs The V-2000 has the capacity to store up to 10 custom user programs. This function allows the user to establish and input their own calibration data. The V-2000 can then be used to generate test results that are based on this custom calibration.
Install the appropriate sample cell adapter into the photometer. Turn the photometer on by pressing the power key. Insert the zeroing vial into the V-2000, cover the zeroing vial with the light shield, and press the zero key. “Wait” is displayed, then the result is displayed as “0.000".
COD ZEROING Vial, package of one 9-2 Warranty Information The V-2000 Photometer, other than its expendable components (sample cell adapters, light shield, RS-232 cable and serial connector), carries an unconditional guarantee of freedom from defects in material and workmanship for a period of two years from date of shipment.
