POWER When you turn power on, the instrument displays its model number briefly, and then starts in measurement mode.
  • Page 21: Taking Measurements

    Operating Information 4.2 Taking measurements Once the system is calibrated, you should be able to begin taking measurements. Connect the top-mounted inlet to accept your sample, typically this is accomplished by connection to a sampling valve. The sample flow can be regulated by adjusting the knurled stainless steel knob on top of the flow chamber.
  • Page 22: Storing Measurements In The Instrument

    Operating Information 4.3 Storing measurements in the instrument The instrument will store up to 500 gas measurement values, labeled by numbers 0 through 499, along with the current date and time of each measurement. You have the choice of acquiring this information manually or automatically, as described below. Before storing measurements, you should verify the date and time settings of the instrument's internal clock, as described in Clock settings on page...

Choose ppm (dissolved) to set the instrument for dissolved measurement in liquids, or % (gaseous) to set the instrument to gas phase measurement.
  • Page 35: Section 6 Calibrations

    Section 6 Calibrations 6.1 Pressure calibration Since the instrument is sealed against moisture, you must open the barometric pressure sensor relief valve switch on top of the instrument (see Figure 1 on page 11 for actual location) to permit the instrument to achieve atmospheric pressure equilibrium, and take an accurate barometric pressure reading.
  • Page 36: Sensor Calibration

    Calibrations 6.2 Sensor calibration When delivered, the sensor is pre-calibrated. However, it should be re-calibrated on site, when being used for the first time, and always after a membrane change. If you have just replaced the membrane, allow at least half an hour for the membrane to settle before attempting to calibrate. If you want to verify the accuracy of the calibration, place the analyzer back in measurement mode and compare your displayed gas concentration against the value in the appropriate tables found in the accompanying Calibration Tables booklet.
  • Page 37: Calibration In Line

    Calibrations 6.2.2 Calibration in line The in line calibration procedure can be used to calibrate the sensor directly in line, against a liquid sample with a known dissolved oxygen concentration. To perform this type of calibration, the instrument must be set for calibration In line. Switch on the instrument, if necessary, and wait a minute or so for the displayed measurement to settle.
  • Page 38: Calibration In Air

    37). It is recommended to leave this checking feature enabled. In special measurement situations it may be necessary to disable range checking. This will allow calibration between 0% to 999% of the ideal current. Contact a Hach Lange representative before disabling this range checking feature.
  • Page 39: Section 7 Maintenance And Troubleshooting

    Maintenance and Troubleshooting 7.1 Maintenance 7.1.1 Instrument batteries The ORBISPHERE 3650 instrument operates on battery power (two standard C-type cells). If battery power should drop, a LO BAT warning message appears in the instrument LCD's top-left corner. To install the batteries, unscrew the battery cap (on the right side of the instrument) with a coin or flat screwdriver, place the cells lengthwise into the battery compartment (positive end first), and then replace the cap.
