Probes shipped from Hanna Instruments are dry. To hydrate the probe and prepare it for use, connect it to the meter and proceed as follows: 1.
INITIAL PREPARATION The instrument is supplied complete with batteries. See Batteries Replacement for details, page 59. To prepare the instrument for field measurements close the USB communication socket and all unused connector sockets with proper stopper (to ensure waterproof protection). Connect the DO probe to the 7‑pin connector.
SALINITY COMPENSATION If the sample contains significant concentration of salinity, the read out values must be corrected, taking into account the lower degree of oxygen solubility in this situation. Before taking any DO measurements remember to set the salinity value from the SETUP menu (page 30). The salinity affects the DO concentration, decreasing its value.
Note: The relationship between salinity and chlorinity for seawater is given by the equation below: Salinity (g/l) = 1.80655 Chlorinity (g/l) BAROMETRIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION The dissolved oxygen saturation value varies with pressure, so it is important to compensate the effect that pressure has on DO measurements.
Page 14
HI98193 meter contains a built‑in barometer, and it is able to automatically compensate for changes in barometric pressure. If another pressure value than the barometer’s reading is to be used, then the manual pressure feature must be enabled from the SETUP menu (see page 30), and afterwards the pressure value can be set using the / keys.
Page 15
BOD MEASUREMENTS Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) is an indicator for the concentration of biodegradable organic matter present in a sample of water. It can be used to infer the general quality of the water and its degree of pollution. BOD measures the rate of oxygen uptake by microorganisms in a sample of water at a fixed temperature and over a given period of time.
Page 16
BOD Parameters: • Bottle ID: a number used to identify a specific bottle. Range: 0000 to 9999. • The type of the Sample: Sample or Seed. • Bottle Volume: the total volume of the BOD bottle. Range: 0.1 to 300.0 mL. •...
Page 17
Use the / keys to scroll the list of BOD initial data records. Press More to view detailed information for the selected record. Press Pg Up/Pg Down to view the next/previous screen of information. Use the / keys to view the detailed information about the next/previous record. If Delete is pressed, use the / keys to highlight the record to be deleted and then press CFM.
Page 18
Press Eval. BOD to compute the BOD for the selected bottle. If the time difference between the current reading and the selected reading is less than 1 day the instrument will ask for record replacement confirmation, and the BOD can’t be evaluated. Press CFM to replace the selected records DO, temperature, pressure and salinity values with the current values.
Page 19
Note: If the Autodelete BOD start data option is enabled in SETUP (see page 30), when the BOD result is saved (LOG key is pressed) the corresponding BOD initial data record will be automatically deleted from the instrument’s memory. Seed Correction In case that the BOD was evaluated for a seeded sample and the list of the saved seed BOD values is not empty, the Correct functional key will be displayed.
Page 20
The OUR is used to determine the oxygen consumption or respiration rate in water. It is defined as the mg/L of oxygen consumed per hour. The following equation is used for OUR determination: where: = Dissolved oxygen level at start of test START = Dissolved oxygen level at end of test = Elapsed time of test in seconds...
Page 21
To end the OUR test before the maximum time interval set during OUR configuration press Stop. If Stop is pressed before the minimum time for the OUR test has elapsed, the instrument will display a warning message. Press Resume to continue the test or Stop to end the test. At the end of the test the meter will display the computed OUR value and the duration of the test.
The Specific Oxygen Uptake Rate (SOUR), also known as the oxygen consumption or respiration rate, is defined as the milligram of oxygen consumed per gram of volatile suspended solids (VSS) per hour. This quick test has many advantages: rapid measure of influent organic load and biodegradability, indication of the presence of toxic or inhibitory wastes, degree of stability and condition of a sample, and calculation of oxygen demand rates at various points in the aeration basin.
Page 23
If the minimum start DO condition is met the instrument will display the instantaneous specific oxygen consumption rate and the amount of time that has passed from the beginning of the test. In case that the SOUR value is corrected to 20 °C (68 °F) and the measured temperature isn’t in the range 10 to 30 °C the temperature value will blink to alert that the temperature correction isn’t valid.
Page 24
Press LOG to save a complete set of data regarding the SOUR test. Press Start to begin a new SOUR test. Notes: If the DO reading is less than the minimum end DO value set during SOUR configuration, a warning message will be displayed. Press any key to clear the message from the screen, or press HELP to view detailed information about the warning.
Page 25
The DO probe has a built‑in temperature sensor. The measured temperature is indicated on the display. Allow the probe to reach thermal equilibrium before taking any measurements. This can take several minutes. The greater the difference between the temperature at which the probe was stored and the temperature of the sample, the longer the time will be.
Page 26
The DO calibration screen will be displayed and the standard 0% saturation (or 0 mg/L, depending on the currently selected measuring unit), will be automatically selected. The hourglass icon will be shown on the display until the reading becomes stable. When the reading is stable and within range of the selected standard, the CFM functional key is displayed.
Page 27
Press CFM to confirm the calibration point. The instrument will return to the main screen and will memorize the slope calibration data. Two points automatic calibration Submerge the probe into HI7040 zero oxygen solution and stir gently for 2‑3 minutes. Press CAL.
Page 28
Press CFM to confirm the calibration point. The instrument will return to the main screen and will memorize the calibration data. Notes: If the manual pressure feature is enabled, during the DO calibration it is possible to switch between changing the standard value or the pressure value by pressing the Pressure/Standard functional key or the MODE key.
GLP is a set of functions that allows storage and retrieval of data regarding the maintenance and status of the electrode. All data regarding DO calibration is stored for the user to review when necessary. EXPIRED CALIBRATION The calibration time out can be set (see SETUP for details, page 30) from 1 to 7 days or can be disabled. The instrument is provided with a real time clock (RTC) in order to monitor the time elapsed since the last DO calibration.

HI98193 meter has an internal barometer for automatic pressure compensation for DO readings. The instrument is factory calibrated for pressure measurements and no user calibration is needed. If the pressure reading is inaccurate, a pressure calibration should be performed. For an accurate calibration follow the instructions below.

All the instruments are factory calibrated for temperature. Hanna’s DO probes are interchangeable and no temperature calibration is needed when they are replaced. If the temperature measurements are inaccurate, temperature recalibration should be performed. For an accurate recalibration follow instructions below. The temperature calibration can be performed in one or two points.
