GENERAL INTRODUCTION Thank you for selecting the 9031M meter. The 9031M is a precision tool that measure dissolved oxygen in % and mg/L and temperature. A built-in microprocessor stores, calculates and compensates for all parameters related to DO determinations including DO electrode temperature characteristics.
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES The 9031M meter is packaged with one 9 V battery required for operation. To insert the batteries into the meter, follow the procedure outlined below. Figure 1: Battery compartment Use a screw driver to remove the four screws and battery cover to expose the battery compartment.
DISPLAY & KEYS FUNCTIONS A. Display Figure 3: Active LCD screen 2. MAIN DISPLAY- Main display for dissolved Low battery indicator. oxygen values. 3. mBar- Display pressure units in 4. Data storage site number. calibration mode. K1, K2, K3, K4, K5, KC: 5.
B. Keys ON/OFF- Powers on and shuts off the meter. Mode- Selects display mode. In normal operation, press this key to sequentially display Dissolved Oxygen in % air lear saturation, Dissolved Oxygen in mg/L, Recall and Delete interface. In calibration mode, press this key to exit the current calibration parameter and enter into the next one.
(Figure 4). Figure 4: Probe B. Preparing the Probe Each 9031M sensor cap has unique calibration coefficients associated with it. These coefficients are labeled on the instruction sheet included with each 9031M cable/probe assembly and replacement 9031M sensor cap.

instruction sheet in case you need to reload these calibration coefficients. New probe/cable assemblies have the sensor cap installed and coefficients loaded into the probe at the factory. When a cable is installed, the coefficients are automatically sent to the instrument.
K2. Follow the instructions in step 3 and 4 to enter and confirm the value for K2. Continue with K3, K4 and K5. After confirming K5, the 9031M will prompt you for KC. KC has two values. Follow the instructions in step 3 and 4 to enter the coefficients.
The coefficient values are hexadecimal. Due to the 9031M’s display, 6 and b look very similar. Hexadecimal values on the 9031M will be displayed as: A, b, C, d, E, F, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
switch to “Measurement” mode. Calibration is now complete. If “Mode” key is pressed instead of the “Enter” key, any changes made will be cancelled and the previous calibration settings will be retained and will automatically switch to “Measurement” mode. 2-point calibration Connect the LSDO probe to the unit and turn the unit on.
D. Sampling Mode- continuous or manual The 9031M sampling mode can be set to Manual or Continuous. During “Measurement” mode, press hold “Sample/MODE” seconds switch between “Continuous” and “Manual” mode. When in “Manual” mode, press “Sample/MODE” key to initiate a new measurement.
In the “Delete Each” mode, use “Up” and “Down” key to select data to be deleted. Then press “Enter” key to delete. Deletion is now complete. The next set of saved data will automatically move up a slot in the storage site. Press “Mode”...
B. Sensor Cap Replacement The sensor cap should be replaced about once per year but may last longer. It should also be replaced if it is cracked or damaged (see Troubleshooting section for instructions on how to inspect the cap for damage). The instruction sheet shipped with the replacement LSDO sensor cap includes the calibration coefficients specific to your sensor cap.
Follow the procedures below for entering in the new sensor cap’s coefficients into the 9031M instrument. [Note: The Sensor Cap must remain in a moist environment; see Sensor Storage for storage recommendations. If the sensor cap is allowed to dry out, it is likely to drift slightly at the beginning of your next study unless it is rehydrated.
If you are still getting erroneous dissolved oxygen readings, try replacing the sensor cap, enter the new coefficients and then recalibrate. If the erroneous readings continue, contact JENCO Technical Support to help determine the next step. [Note: If the meter still does not perform normally after the above...
