10 MW605 Dissolved Oxygen & Temperature Portable Meter 5. MA860 PROBE DESCRIPTION The MA860 probe uses a galvanic sensor with a built-in thermistor that allows stable, temperature compensated readings. The sensor makes use of a cathode, anode and electrolyte solution, protected by an oxygen permeable membrane.
GENERAL OPERATIONS 11 6. GENERAL OPERATIONS 6.1. BATTERY MANAGEMENT The meter is supplied with 3 x 1.5V alkaline AA batteries. To replace the batteries, follow the next steps: 1. Turn the meter off. 2. Remove the 4 screws on the back of the meter to open the battery compartment.
12 MW605 Dissolved Oxygen & Temperature Portable Meter 6.2. PROBE PREPARATION DO probes shipped from Milwaukee Instruments are dry. Prepare the supplied MA860 probe before connecting it to the meter. After preparation, connect to the DIN connector by aligning the pins with the socket and firmly pushing the plug in.
GENERAL OPERATIONS 13 6.3. PROBE MAINTENANCE The silver cathode should always be bright and untarnished. If it is tarnished or stained, the cathode should be cleaned gently with a lint-free cloth. y Rinse the probe with deionized or distilled water. y Replace the membrane cap using fresh electrolyte.

20 MW605 Dissolved Oxygen & Temperature Portable Meter 8. ALTITUDE & SALINITY COMPENSATION Temperature, pressure (altitude) and salinity influence DO concentration. Cold water holds more oxygen and therefore DO concentration increases with decreasing temperature. Compensation for temperature-related solubility is done automatically using the probe’s built in temperature sensor.
CALIBRATION 21 9. CALIBRATION Ensure the probe is ready for measurements. Follow the procedure in PROBE PREPARATION section. Set the appropriate altitude and salinity compensation value (see SETUP OPTIONS section). For highest accuracy, complete all calibrations at a temperature as close as possible to the sample temperature. MW605 accepts two % saturation calibration points;...
Page 22
22 MW605 Dissolved Oxygen & Temperature Portable Meter Note: If DO is a critical parameter or sample has low DO value, it is recommended to perform a second calibration point or a check using a zero calibration DO solution. Zero Calibration Continue after confirming the 100% calibration point.
Page 23
