Meter Preparation
Installing the Power Adapter The universal power adapter that is included with your benchtop meter is the only power adapter recommended for use with this unit. The use of any other power adapter will void your meter warranty. The external electrical power adapter is rated to be operated at 100 to 240 VAC, 0.5 A, 50/60 Hz. Based on your wall outlet, select one of the four plug plates provided and slide it into the grooves on the adapter. A click will be heard when the plug is properly in place.
Connect the output plug of the power adapter to the power input on the benchtop meter. Refer to the diagram in the Connecting the Electrodes section. Batteries can be installed in the benchtop Orion Star or Star Plus series meters, so the meter setup settings are protected if the meter is disconnected from the wall outlet or a brief power outage occurs.
Thermo Scientific Orion Star™ and Star Plus Meter User Guide
