1 Overview Thank you for purchasing Apera Instruments DO850 Portable Optical Dissolved Oxygen Meter. The DO850 measures dissolved oxygen in water using luminescence technology through an optical sensor and displays data with intelligent instrumentation. Compared to conventional electrochemical dissolved oxygen meter, the DO850 is more accurate, stable and easier to use.

3.3 Batteries The instrument uses three AA alkaline batteries. Battery life > 200 hours (without backlight). When the display shows symbol as shown in Figure-3, replace the battery. Fig.-3 3.4 Instrument Socket The instrument uses an 8-pin socket that is protected by a gray rubber cap seal. Eight-pin socket (right) - connect DO electrode.
4 Optical Dissolved Oxygen Probe 4.1 Probe Structure The instruments DO803 optical dissolved oxygen probe has a cable length of 3m and built- in temperature sensor for automatic temperature compensation. The electrode structure is shown in Fig.-6 Fig.-6 1. Bottom cover of the calibration sleeve 5.
soaked in clean water at room temperature for 24 hours. If the water temperature is low, soaking time should be 48-72 hours. (D) The sponge can not be allowed to get stained or moldy, otherwise it will consume or produce oxygen. If stained or moldy, please replace it immediately (some back-up sponges are included in the kit).
Resolution Selection The resolution unit can be selected in parameter setting P3.2: 0.01 or 0.1mg/L (ppm). After setting, the meter will display resolution of 0.1 or 1 in according to %. Temperature Unit Selection The temperature unit can be selected in parameter setting P4.1: ˚C or ˚F Air Pressure Compensation The instrument has automatic air pressure compensation function.
these steps: (A) Preparation of 100ml of oxygen-free water: in the 100ml beaker, weigh 2g of anhydrous sodium sulfite (Na ) and add 100ml of distilled or deionized water to dissolve. Oxygen-free water is only effective within 1 hour. (B) Put the electrode into the oxygen-free water, wait for 3 to 5 minutes after the instrument is turned on, and wait for the temperature and DO reading to completely stabilize.
influenced by temperature, and the probe senses temperature slower than dissolved oxygen. 8 Parameter Settings 8.1 Press the key in the measurement mode to enter the parameter setting mode P3.0, key to switch the menu P3.0 →P4.0; In P3.0 mode, press press the to enter P3.1, press...
