Setting the SITE ID 

The Site ID is associated with a user-set default sample volume, beginning with firmware version 2. 
This means that choosing a Site automatically sets the sample volume to the preset value. This sample 
volume can be easily overridden by the user, and the preset value can be changed as needed. The 
primary purpose for this association is to provide a convenient way for users to set the sample volume 
since that function can be rather tedious. For example, it takes 17 keystrokes to change the sample 
volume from 5 liters to 100 liters through the Setup Menu, but that same change could be as short as 3 
keystrokes using Site IDs. 

2.4.1 

Creating an ID 

The CI-90A location (Site) ID’s can be assigned a 1 to 15 character identification which will 

appear on all label printouts. The user can enter up to 100 ID names. To create a Site ID, press 
[

SITE

] from the main screen and observe the Site screen appears. The currently selected ID will 

be blinking on the top line. 

Note that there is no requirement for the IDs to be unique, nor must they be in alphabetic 

order. This means that it is possible to store two or more copies of a list of sites (organized in the 
sequence they might be visited), where the only difference between the two lists would be the 
sample volumes they hold. 

To reach the ID entry screen, which will add a Site ID in the site list below the currently 

selected ID, press [

NEW

] and observe the screen below appears. Note that if 100 ID’s are already 

stored in memory, the [

NEW

] key is simply ignored. 

To enter the desired name, use the left/right/up/down arrows to navigate the cursor to the 

desired character. Press [

NEXT

] to enter the character where the blinking underscore currently is 

in the ID name. Continue this until the complete ID name has been entered.  The [

SPACE

] key 

can be used to enter a space character into the ID name. The [

BACK

] key will move the “blink” 

in the ID name to the left 1 character (with wraparound), but will not erase any character it was 
blinking. This is convenient for going back to edit characters. When finished, press [

EXIT

] to 

return to the site screen. 

The default sample volume assigned to all IDs created in this manner is INF. Use the SETUP 

menu to change the default volume. 

2.4.2 

Selecting an ID 

From the main screen, press [

SITE

] and then scroll to the desired ID. The default sample 

volume is displayed at the right of each line. The number at the lower left of the screen is the 
number of the currently highlighted ID at the top of the screen. While the up/down arrow keys 
will decrease/increase the scroll (ID number) by 1, the left/right arrow keys decrease/increase by 

Location name 1  INF
