Introduction
About the RDO-X Stainless Steel Dissoved Oxygen Sensor
The RDO-X Stainless Steel Dissolved Oxygen Sensor is a rugged, reliable instrument designed to deliver
accurate dissolved oxygen (DO) data across a wide measurement range and to reduce maintenance costs.
The probe features the latest optical technology for DO measurement.
This kind of optical technology requires very few consumables:
• No membrane replacement
• No electrolyte
The RDO cap contains the optically sensitive material. Replace the RDO cap according to your site needs, or
approximately once every 2 years.
The sensor operates with optical luminescence measurement technology described in Standard Method
4500-O and In-Situ Methods 1002-8-2009, 1003-8-2009, 1004-8-2009 (EPA Approved).
When the probe initiates a reading, an LED emits blue light, which excites lumiphore molecules in the
sensing element. Excited lumiphore molecules emit red light, which is detected by a photodiode. Oxygen
molecules quench the excited lumiphore molecules and prevent the emission of red light—a process called
“dynamic luminescence quenching.” Determination of DO concentration by luminescence quenching has a
linear response over a range of concentrations.
Lumiphore molecules are excited by blue light and then emit red light, which is
detected by a photodiode. Optical electronics report DO concentration in mg/L.

Getting Started
Connect the instrument to the Twist-Lock cable and
twist until it clicks into place.
Remove the cover from the Control Point 2.0 (also
compatible with the Partech 7300w2Monitor). Wire
the cable into the terminals
Power up the Control Point 2.0
or 7300w. 4 Congure.
Reinstall the terminal cover. Connect power to the
controller and turn it on. Press Menu.
Use the arrow keys to select Sensor Cong.
1Attach the Twist-Lock cable to
the probe. 2 Wire the other end of the cable.

How to Install and Replace the RDO Cap
Unscrew and remove the
guard.
Slide the RDO cap away
from the instrument. Do
not twist cap.
Align the at edge inside
the cap with the at edge
on the instrument. Slide
the new cap into place.
Replace the guard and
calibrate the instrument.
Align
with cap

Calibration
Calibrating the Sensor
The RDO-X Stainless Steel sensor is an optical sensor. The required calibration frequency depends on the
application and deployment conditions. When deploying the instrument for the rst time:
100% Saturation Calibration
0% Saturation Calibration
0% Saturation calibration can be accessed from Service Mode on the monitor. Contact ChemScan or Partech
for guidance before attempting to calibrate at 0% Saturation.
Use the arrow keys to
select MEASUREMENT
CONFIG and press OK.
Select DO Saturation
and press OK.
Select CALIBRATE and
press OK.
Press OK to begin
calibration. Press OK
once the value has
stabilized.
Clean the sensor with
alconox or vinegar and a
soft cloth.
Press the Menu Button to
show the main menu.
Moisten the calibration
sponge and place it in
the calibration cup
(Part #200024)
Insert the instrument
into the calibration cup.
Allow the calibration
chamber to humidify.
1. Calibrate the sensor during initial deployment.
2. If desired, repeat the calibration after one week of operation and again after 3 months.
3. After this time, calibrate the sensor according to site needs and check measurement validity yearly.
The RDO sensor can be calibrated at 100% Saturation only or at both 0% and 100% Saturation. Calibration
at 100% Saturation is sucient for most applications.

Storage and Maintenance
Storing the Sensor
Prior to installing the cap, store the cap above freezing in the container in which it was shipped. Store the
instrument in a clean, dry area between -5 and 60°C.
After installing the cap, store the instrument in a clean, dry area above freezing.
Maintenance
With installing the instrument for the rst time, inspect the instrument weekly to determine the best
cleaning frequency for your deployment site.
If the sensor measurements begin to drift from expected values, clean the sensor and calibrate. If calibration
cannot be performed, or you are receiving invalid measurements or errors, replace the RDO cap.
Disposal
Recycle the instrument according to local regulations. Dispose of calibration solutions as described in the
Safety Data Sheet accompanied with the calibration solution.
In the UK and EU, Partech can provide recycling of your old Partech equipment and can sometimes recycle
other manufacturers’equipment when replaced with Partech equipment. Trade-in options may be available
for new equipment. Contact Partech for more information.
How to Clean the Instrument
Unscrew and remove the
guard.
Gently clean the cap with
a soft cloth. Use Alconox
or vinegar to remove
build-up.
Do not use organic
solvents to clean cap.
Never wet the lens area
under the cap. Use only
the supplied lens cloth to
clean lens.
Replace the guard and
calibrate the instrument.
Clean and inspect your instrument regularly for accurate readings and best performance.
