OPERATION

Step 1: Charge and check probe status
This product has a built-in rechargeable battery. Unscrew the battery cover on the head, and use the included charging cable to charge. About 60 hours of continuous use after 1.5 hours charging time. On 8413, the anti-collision cover of the D.O. probe head has protective function and no need to remove before use. This product is pre-filled with electrolyte. After the product is charged, it is ready to use. Before each regular use, shake the probe gently and visually inspect the electrolyte inside of the probe is enough.

Step 2: Power on the meter
Short press the “Power” button to turn on the LCD; if you need to turn it off,long press the “Power” button.

Step 3: Calibration
The instrument has been well calibrated at the factory, but calibration is still necessary before each use to get best result. Simply do calibration in air, chemical powder is not required. See the Calibration section for calibration details.

Step 4: Get D.O. Value
Immerse the electrode in the test solution and shake gently. You will see the dissolved oxygen and temperature from the LCD. For 84131, the patented design floating probe can ensure you get measurement from water, probe won’t sink into sand. When there is no key operation for 20 minutes, it will automatically shut down. The probe cable is 3 meters long, so it can be used even in deep pools.

Step 5: switch D.O. Unit
The display is preset to %, you can short press the key to switch to mg/L

Step 6: Backlight for dark places

D.0 100% SATURATION CALIBRATION IN AIR

In order to get accurate readings, we recommend that before each operation and after replacing the membrane module, saturated dissolved oxygen calibration is required. No need to remove the anti-collision cover.
Step 1: In normal mode, convert dissolved oxygen units to % and place the probe in the air, wait a few minutes till the reading value is stable.
Step 2: Long press  key to do 100% saturation calibration. “CAL” will flash on the screen
Step 3: Wait for a few seconds to 1 minute, see that the reading is stable and CAL no longer flashes, short press to complete the calibration.

Step 4: After calibration, the displayed value should be 99.0%~101.0%. If an error occurs during calibration, this may cause by low electrolyte or a bad probe condition; see next section to learn how to maintain a dissolved oxygen probe.

PROBE MAINTENANCE

Visual Check
Check the probe when you receive a new probe or see strange readings or if the probe has been in use for six months.

1. There is no problem if the electrolyte is not full. While it is less than 1/2 full, fill up the electrolyte.
2. Be sure to check the middle part of the probe surface,
   The work area should be kept clean as shown on the right photo

The best condition of the probe is the electrode reaction surface is clean and there is no air bubbles attached.

How to replace membrane set
Replace the membrane pack when any of the following occurs:

• a. The probe has been used for more than half a year.
• b. There is an error code E1/E3, but the central working area of the probe is still clean.
• c. The membrane is damaged or wrinkled.
• d. The measurement speed is much slower than before.
  Steps:

1. Prepare a new membrane set. The structure of this membrane set is sensitive, not recommendec to reuse the membrane set.
2. Rotate to remove the membrane set from the probe
3. Slowly drop the electrolyte into the new membrane set until it is 3/4 full.
4. Slowly drop the electrolyte into the new membrane set until it Screw the new membrane set onto the probe.
5. After installing the membrane set, it is fine to found small air bubbles in the electrolyte. But, the work area in the middle should be free from bubbles.
6. 100% saturated calibration in air after membrane replacement

Note: Under normal use, the membrane set included with the goods should be enough for the life time of probe. It is not necessary to replace membrane set too frequently.
