7000 Interface Photometer

The  7000 Interface Photometer brings a new dimension to the science of water testing. The proven features of the  photometer system have been interfaced with the latest in micro-processor technology. The result -- a direct reading user-friendly photometer pre-programmed for  water tests.

 The Photometer 7000 with built-in wavelength filters is controlled through a splash-proof key pad. Enter the program number for the test required and the instrument calls up the correct test calibration and verifies that the correct filter has been selected. Simple display instructions guide the user toward the test result -- direct reading in either mg/l or molar concentrations.

In addition to the visual display, test results may be printed out through an optional printer. Moreover, test results are stored within the photometer and can be downloaded to a computer system at a later time. Optional software enables results to be sent to a data base, tabulated or printed out in report format.

The Photometer 7000 offers a variety of user selectable set-up options. The display can appear in English, French, German or Spanish languages, or as international symbols; and test results can be selected to appear as mg/l or molar display. Users can select the option of entering sample identification numbers and dilution factors.

In addition to the sample number option, the Photometer 7000 features a built-in clock and calendar function. Test results are stored and printed together with the time and date record. The instrument also incorporates a countdown timer with warning bleeper to help in test procedures.

The Photometer 7000 is fully integrated with the current range of   photometer-based tests. A program updating service is available to registered users for future test developments.

The Photometer 7000 also reads in transmittance and absorbance for general laboratory applications.
