analytical techniques employed in the analyzer. Step-by-step instructions guide you through all
operating procedures and field programming.
The analyzer is designed for easy operation. Each analyzer in this family runs in a fully-
automated mode for routine, day-to-day water analysis.
The need for operator interaction is minimal. Accordingly, the information required by the
routine operator of this analyzer is modest, and that information is provided in Section 4:
Startup and Operation, of this manual.
Important standard analyzer capabilities include:

Sampling the process stream automatically.

Calculating concentration of your sample and reporting it in units of concentration.

Recalibrating automatically at preprogrammed intervals to compensate for any changes in
captured sample volume, pump flow rates and reagent composition.

Cleaning automatically (when programmed) at user-specified intervals to prevent precipitation
build-up, coating of the optics or bacterial/fungal growth.
The analyzer brings colorimetric laboratory precision to the real world of unattended process
analyzing. It is designed for long life under continuous, rigorous use.
The Orion 2200 series analyzers are designed for accommodating several applications. Each
application requires a specific configuration in hardware and software that is set at the factory.
The product as supplied will have a configuration sheet detailing the setup and the detailed
tests and validation that were conducted at the factory. This analyzer model is intended to use
for water analysis only.
