    • Continuous – The meter will continuously measure and update the display. This read type is useful when performing an experiment that requires continuous measurements to be taken. Press the log/print/0 key to export the measurement to the data log, if the data log is enabled in the setup menu, and to a printer or computer, if a printer or computer is connected to the meter and enabled in the setup. RDO Probe Information The RDO probe works with a unique optical cap. Information exclusive to this cap, such as: • Serial number • Remaining cap life • Date of manufacture can be found in the setup menu when the RDO probe is connected and recognized as the measurement mode. Verify RDO probe is connected. 2. Press setup/3. 3. Use the arrows to highlight the channel with RDO if needed. Press f3 (Select) key. 4. Use the right arrow to highlight RDO Electrode Info to review information. Thermo Scientific Orion VERSA STAR RDO/DO/Temperature Module...
  • Page 11: Setup Menu For Temperature

    Setup Menu for Temperature All of the temperature measurement settings are found in Temperature Setup menu for each measurement. Temperature Unit ºC or ºF selection Temperature Input and Type Ch-1 ATC, Ch-2 ATC, Ch-3 ATC, Ch-4 ATC, MTC Ch-1* ATC only or All ATC allows all ATCs to be Temperature Cal calibrated at once * This number will change to match the setup menu channel. Temperature probes can be set up in the measurement mode of the sample you are measuring. Ch-1 ATC allows the temperature probe to be used in more than one channel for temperature-compensated measurements, such as when a pH electrode and a 2-cell conductivity cell are in the same measurement sample. Temperature is a critical pH and conductivity measurement as the measurement values require a temperature correction to determine the reference value, often 25 ºC in the America and 20 ºC in Europe.

  • Page 13: Rdo/Do Calibration

    • Set Zero – A zero point calibration requires oxygen-free solution. This method needs to be repeated each time the probe is replaced or modified (cap change with RDO probes; membrane change or fresh electrolyte with polarographic DO probes). This calibration is generally not required unless measurements will be taken below 10% saturation or 1 mg/L. An air or water calibration needs to be performed prior to a zero point calibration. Calibration Procedure 1. Press cal/. to enter calibration mode. 2. Follow the screen prompts for calibration. 3. The calibration can be saved or printed when complete. 4. Information for the last calibration can be displayed on the main measurement screen. Refer to this reference guide, Chapter 2 Module Overview, Display Information section for more information.

  • Page 15: Temperature Calibration

    DO probes have varying temperature accuracies, usually ±0.5°C to ±2°C. Use this function only if necessary. Since the temperature offset calculated during the calibration is applied to all future temperature measurements, recalibrate if a different probe is used. For temperature calibration, the probe needs to be connected to the meter and the calibration solution should have a known, stable temperature. It is recommended that two NIST-traceable thermometers be used to measure and verify solution temperature. 1. Press f3 (setup) key. 2. Use the arrow keys to highlight the channel that the temperature probe is connected to. Press f3 (select). 3. Use the arrow keys to highlight Temperature and press f3 (select). 4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the appropriate Temperature Cal option and press f3 (select). 5. Follow the onscreen prompts. Thermo Scientific Orion VERSA STAR RDO/DO/Temperature Module...

    Chapter 6 Measurement After successful calibration, the samples can be tested. 1. Rinse the RDO or DO probe with deionized water, blot dry with lint-free tissue. 2. Place RDO/DO probe, conductivity cell if required, and optional stirrer in first sample. 3. If the meter is in AutoRead mode (meter default) press measure (esc) (1) key. If the meter is in continuous or timed read mode, the meter will immediately start taking readings. 4. If in AutoRead mode and datalog is enabled (default), the reading will automatically be stored when the “AR” appears. If in continuous read mode and datalog is enabled, press log/print (0) key to store into the meter’s memory. Note: To enable or disable datalogging, press setup and select Inst. Settings.
