LaMotte 1200 Colorimeter - Manual (Page 14)

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.
