• For tank and in-line applications the recommended flow rate should be above 200mL/min and
up to a maximum of having the flow adjustment valve fully open.
Note: The flow rates indicated with arrows on the flow meter (as illustrated below) are approximately
150mL/min (lower arrow) and 200mL/min (upper arrow). The silver bead gives an indication of the flow rate.
PC software installation
The instrument is delivered with default user and measurement configuration tables. However, to
personalize the instrument by setting up your own tables you will need to use the PC software which
is included on the USB key supplied with the tool kit.
Install the PC software by inserting the USB key into your PC and running the setup program
(entitled setup.exe) from the directory Orbisphere 3100\Installation Files\PC Software on the USB
drive. Follow the on-screen instructions and the software will be installed on your hard disk in a new
directory: C:\Program Files\Hach Lange\3100 PC Software\.
Once the software has been installed, click on the desktop icon on the PC to launch the application.
Create new user table
From the application's File menu, select New and then User Table.
A default user is created automatically, with an ID of "0", a User Name of "Default", and a level of
"User". None of these fields can be changed. The password is set automatically to "1234", but this
can be changed.
Use the Add option to add new users, and Delete to remove existing users. Copy and Paste can
also be used to add new users, and Cut can be used to delete existing users. Double click on a field
to edit the contents.
Create new measurement configuration table
From the application's File menu, select New and then O2 Instrument to create a new
measurement configuration table.
A default entry is created automatically, with an ID of "0", a Location Name and Product Name of
"Default". None of these fields can be changed.
Use the same functionality as described for the user table, to add entries to the table.
Transfer files to the instrument
When the two tables have been populated, they can be transferred to the instrument using a USB
storage device (typically a USB key).
1. From the PC copy the files to the USB storage device in a top-level directory of 3100. The files
will typically be located in: C:\Program Files\Hach Lange\3100 PC Software\ with file
extensions of .cdm (for measurement configurations) and .ndu (for user tables).
Note: It is important that the file name extensions (.cdm and .ndu) are not changed as they will not be
recognized by the instrument software. Similarly, the files must be located in a top-level directory of 3100.
2. With the instrument switched ON, insert the USB storage device into the USB connection on the
left side of the instrument, and press the USB icon on the instrument front panel.
3. The first screen is for exporting files from the instrument to a USB storage device, so press the
right arrow to move to the next screen.
