PROBE SETUP
IMPORTANT: THIS DO PROBE WILL NOT FUNCTION UNTIL
ELECTROLYTE IS ADDED
Before using the probe please follow the instructions, below.
1. Remove the protective cap from the DO probe by unscrewing it.
2. Fill the cap with the included electrolyte solution. The cap
should be at least 75% full.
3. Securely screw the cap back onto the probe. Wipe any excess
electrolyte from the outside of the probe.
NOTE...
It is better to have excess electrolyte in the probe’s cap than not
enough. Once the cap is secure, excess electrolyte can be wiped
away with DI water to prevent crystallization.

4. Recalibrate the probe using a DO meter.
This procedure can also be used when replacing the membrane
caps. Extra caps are included with this probe because they may
need to be replaced occasionally.

CALIBRATION
Note...
While performing calibration, if the measurement value reads from
10% to 50% the display will show “Error” as in Fig. A. Check probe
for damage. Repair or replace probe.
Press EXIT to return to Normal Mode.
All other keys except POWER ON/OFF and HOLD are inoperable
while performing calibration.

100% Calibration
Note...
Only when the measurement value is above 50% can the meter be
calibrated at 100%. All other keys except POWER ON/OFF and
HOLD are inoperable while performing calibration.
1. Clean the probe thoroughly with deionized water.
2. Press RANGE to select the % saturation scale (see Fig. A).
3. Wrap the probe with a wet cloth being sure not to touch
the probe’s oxygen permeation membrane.
4. Press CAL for 2 seconds to enter the calibration mode
(see Fig. B).
5. When calibration is complete the display will read
“Finished” (see Fig. C).
6. Press EXIT to return to Normal Mode (see Fig. D).

The measurement value must read below 10% to calibrate the
meter at 0%. All other keys except POWER ON/OFF and HOLD are
inoperable while performing calibration.
1. Clean the probe thoroughly with deionized water.
2. Press RANGE to select the % saturation scale (see Fig. A).
3. Place the probe into 0 Oxygen Solution.
The solution should have a ow rate of at least 0.3m/s
4. Press CAL for 2 seconds to enter the calibration mode
(see Fig. B)
5. Once the reading is steady the display will read
“Finished” (see Fig. C).
6. Press EXIT to return to Normal Mode (see Fig. D).
