3. Preparing for use
Make sure the sample bottle meets the following conditions.
<Usage conditions>
Cap height: min.16mm to max.35mm
Neck diameter : min. ø22mm to max. ø36mm
Step 1. Remove the standard needle attached with the oxygen meter.
• For oxygen meter models RO-105 series, the standard needle is model: NN-2116R.
• For oxygen meter models RO-103 series, the standard needle is model: NN-2138S.
When removing the needle, do not remove the accessories, such as the membrane filter
or check valve. Proper measurements may not be possible if these parts are removed.
Step 2. Attach the needle dedicated for the KO-X1.
Take care not to stab the human body with the needle. There is a risk of blindness,
puncture wounds, or cuts.
Step 3. Prepare the oxygen meter with state and setting so that it is ready for measurement.
(Refer to the operation manual enclosed with the oxygen meter for details.)
4. Usage methods
Step 1. Grip the neck of the measurement sample, such as
the plastic bottle, with the jaws on either side.
Turn the fixing screws and fix the jaw fixing base so that the
jaws tightly grip the sample's neck and do not move.
Step 2. Hold the jaw fixing base on either side with a hand
to prevent movement, and then turn the rotating
handle clockwise.
Turn the rotating handle two turns
from where the cutter contacts the
cap.
Do not turn the rotating handle further once the hole is opened. Rotating it further will put
an excessive load on the threads and can result in damage.

Step 3. Insert the needle into the hole on the rubber stopper.
The tip of the needle will reach the headspace of the sample in the
plastic bottle, etc.
Step 4. Operate the oxygen meter to sample and measure the
sample gas.
For details, refer to the measurement methods described in the
operation manual enclosed with the oxygen meter.
• If there is less than 10mL of sample gas, or if the sample cannot be used the KO-X1
because of the shapes and materials, measure with the Gas Sampling Glass Tube
(model: GS-2) option (sold separately).
• A measurement can be taken even if the inside of the sample is pressurized. However,
if the inner pressure of the package is higher than +40 kPa, the components could break
when the needle is pierced, or a correct measurement value may not be obtained.
<Using oxygen meter RO-105 series >
Do not use the KO-X1 Opener when measuring a sample pressurized above +40 kPa.
Instead, measure with the Gass Sampling Glass Tube (model: GS-2) option (sold
separately).
<Using oxygen meter RO-103S>
Measure with the Compression and Decompression Sampler (model: S-2) option. In
this case, repeat the suction operation two to three times to sample the gas and read
the value when the sample gas is stabilized.
• If there are any concerning symptoms, refer to the symptoms and actions explained in
the Troubleshooting Section of the operation manual enclosed with the oxygen meter.
Replace rubber stopper 1 and rubber stopper 2 with new parts if any degradation is
observed.
