Get high accuracy and premium performance everywhere you need it with the Thermo Scientific Orion Star A329 pH, ISE, Conductivity, DO and RDO Portable Meter

Designed for a wide range of pH, ion concentration, conductivity, dissolved oxygen and temperature testing and field applications. Evaluate samples in the most demanding locations using this waterproof meter with IP67-rated housing. Use the three channels to measure pH, conductivity and DO simultaneously or view each channel separately. Log up to 5000 data point sets with time / date stamp and transfer to a printer or computer.

Take your measurements at the source with our premium line of portable meters. The Thermo Scientific Orion Star A329 pH/ISE/conductivity/RDO/DO portable meter offers an information-rich screen and user-friendly operation. This rugged, waterproof portable meter is ready to tackle the elements with you. Orion Star A329 pH/ISE/conductivity/RDO/DO portable meters are designed to be easy to use, dependable field meters that offer advanced features and functions including a 5000 point date log with sample ID and user ID options, calibration and high/low limit alarms and password-protected measurement methods.

  • Combined convenience with the benefits of a pH/ISE meter, conductivity meter and dissolved oxygen meter in one easy-to-use system
  • Measure pH, ion concentration, mV, relative mV or ORP with temperature on channel one; measure conductivity, TDS, salinity or resistivity with temperature on channel two; and measure dissolved oxygen in percent saturation or mg/L with temperature using RDO optical DO probes or polarographic DO probes on channel three
  • Easily view individual measurements on a full screen display and quickly toggle to a split screen display to view multiple measurements simultaneously
  • Perform up to five point pH and ISE calibrations with calibration editing option that allows individual points to be fixed without a full recalibration
  • Perform up to a five point conductivity calibration
  • Auto-ranging conductivity values offer consistent readings across entire measurement range without need to recalibrate
  • Use linear, non-linear, EP (USP) or off conductivity temperature compensation with 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25°C reference temperatures
  • Calibrate dissolved oxygen using water-saturated air, air-saturated water, custom value (Winkler titration) and zero point options
  • Automatically compensate dissolved oxygen readings using ATC temperature, manual salinity input and built-in barometer for barometric pressure readings
  • Informative, easy-to-read backlit graphic display with clear onscreen instructions simplifies operation
  • Capture your critical readings with measurement stability indicator and selectable read modes – Auto-Read holds a stable reading, Continuous shows changing readings with hold option and Timed logs data at specific intervals
  • Data log collects and date/time stamps up to 5000 measurement sets with optional sample ID and user ID
  • Calibration log stores ten most recent calibrations
  • Non-volatile meter memory ensures your data and settings are protected, even with loss of power
  • Orion Star Com software facilitates data transfer to a computer via USB or RS232 connections
  • Flexible power options with AA batteries or optional universal power adapter
  • IP67-rated housing is waterproof for rugged field operation
  • Meter kits include hard-sided field case and protective meter armor with electrode holders, adjustable wrist/belt strap and built-in meter stand
  • Meters offer CE, TUV 3-in-1 and FCC Class A certifications and 3-year replacement warranty
