Product Usage Instructions
Rinse the DO electrode
Rinse the DO electrode with clean water and wipe it with a lint-free
tissue. Ensure that there are no water droplets on the DO cap and temperature
sensor.
Calibration Modes
Place the DO electrode in either water vapor-saturated air (calibration
bottle with moist sponge) or air-saturated water. The DO meter has two
calibration modes: DO saturation (%) and DO concentration (mg/L). The default
mode is DO saturation (%). Press the MODE button to switch to DO concentration
mode.
Switch to Calibration Mode
Press the CAL button on the meter to switch to calibration mode. The screen
will display “100%” at the bottom. The icon on the screen and the LED light on
the electrode (if switched on) will blink until the reading is stable.
Confirm Calibration
Press the ENT button to confirm the DO reading. To abort calibration, press
the MEAS button. The meter will briefly show “DONE” and then switch to
measurement mode. The calibrated DO value and the electrode icon will appear
in measurement mode.
Zero Calibration (Optional)
Immerse the DO electrode in zero solution (0.2% sodium sulfite) and repeat
steps 3 and 4 to perform zero calibration. Ensure that the DO cap and
temperature sensor of the DO electrode are fully immersed in the zero
solution. In step 3, press the CAL button twice to switch to zero calibration
mode.
Rinse the DO electrode
Rinse the DO electrode with clean water and wipe it with a lint-free
tissue.
Measurement
Immerse the DO electrode in the sample. Ensure that the DO cap and
temperature sensor of the DO electrode are fully immersed in the sample.
FAQ
-
How do I switch between DO saturation (%) and DO concentration (mg/L) modes?
Press the MODE button to switch between the two calibration modes. -
How do I confirm the DO reading during calibration?
Press the ENT button to confirm the DO reading. To abort calibration, press the MEAS button. -
How do I perform zero calibration?
Immerse the DO electrode in zero solution (0.2% sodium sulfite) and repeat steps 3 and 4 to perform zero calibration.
