  • Page 10 When the probe is under polarization it is continuously fed with a voltage of approximately 800 mV. Probe polarization is essential for stable measurements to be taken with the same degree of accuracy. With polarized probe, oxygen is continually “consumed” by passing through the sensitive diaphragm and dissolving in the electrolyte solution contained in the probe.
  • Page 11 Calibration should be made: • after approximately 20 hours of use • whenever the electrolyte or membrane is changed and after cleaning the electrode • after use in aggressive solutions. Accessories: • 200 mL of HI7040 solution • 1 bottle of HI7041S solution Calibration at sea level:...
  • Page 12 If you cannot get zero reading, the probe is probably defective. Check the membrane, electrode and electrolyte solution. After the zero calibration has been completed, rinse the probe thoroughly with tap water. Slope Calibration In order to perform a highly accurate calibration, take a B.O.D.
  • Page 13 Altitude Compensation If the calibration is not performed at sea level, a correction should be made for the altitude effect according to Table on page 13. E.g. at 20.5°C and at an altitude of 300 m above sea level, the “Slope”...

  • Page 17 Temperature Calibration The temperature scale should be calibrated at least every 3 months or whenever the readings are in doubt. • Immerse the bottom 60 mm (2.4”) of the probe in a beaker containing water. • Switch the knob to the “°C” position and agitate the water for at least 10 minutes to reach the thermal equilibrium between the probe and...
  • Page 18 Make sure the meter has been calibrated and the protective cap has been removed. Immerse the tip of the probe in the sample to be tested. For accurate dissolved oxygen measurements a water movement of at least 0.3 m/sec is required. This movement will ensure that the oxygen depleted membrane surface is constantly replenished.
  • Page 19 The DO probe body is made of reinforced plastic for maximum durability. A thermistor temperature sensor provides temperature measurements and compensation. When not in use, it is always recommended to protect the probe against damage and dirt with the supplied cap. To replace the membrane or refill it with electrolyte, proceed as follows: •...
  • Page 20 The Platinum cathode (7 in the Probe diagram at page 7) should always be bright and untarnished. If it is tarnished or stained, which could be due to contact with certain gases or extended use with a loose or damaged membrane, the cathode should be cleaned.
  • Page 21 When the battery level is low, a battery symbol will be displayed to warn the user that the battery should be replaced soon. Battery replacement must only take place in a safe area and using the battery type specified in this instruction manual. Slide off the battery cover on the rear of the meter and replace the 9V battery with a new one.
