6 MW190 Bench Meter 2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION Thank you for choosing Milwaukee Instruments. This instruction manual will provide you the necessary information for correct use of the meter. MW190 is is a logging microprocessor-based DO and Temperature bench meter. Dissolved Oxygen is indicated in ppm (parts per million) or in %.
SPECIFICATIONS 7 3. SPECIFICATIONS 0.00 to 45.00 ppm O Range 0.0 to 300.0 % O Temp -5.0 to 55.0 °C (23.0 to 131.0 °F) 0.01 ppm Resolution 0.1 % Temp 0.1 °C (0.1 °F) ±1.5 % of full scale Accuracy (@ 20 °C / 68 °F) Temp ±0.4 °C (±0.8 °F) single or double point at 0% (MI 9070) and 100% (in air)
Probes shipped from Milwaukee Instruments are dry. To hydrate the probe and prepare it for use, connect it to the meter and proceed as follows: Shipping 1.
10 MW190 Bench Meter 6. OPERATIONAL GUIDE Plug the 12 VDC adapter into the power supply socket. Connect the DO probe to the 7-pin connector. Make sure the probe sleeve is properly inserted and tighten the threaded ring. Turn the instrument on by pressing ON/OFF. All LCD tags are displayed and a beep is heard while the instrument performs a self test.
SALINITY AND ALTITUDE COMPENSATION 11 Whenever measurements are taken with a non-polarized probe, the oxygen level revealed is both that of the tested solution, as well as that present in the electrolyte solution. This reading is incorrect. The calibration of this instrument is very simple. Before proceeding with the calibration, make sure the probe is ready for measurements (see PROBE CONNECTION &...
12 MW190 Bench Meter 8. D.O. MEASUREMENTS Make sure that the instrument has been calibrated and the protective cap has been removed. y Immerse the tip of the probe in the sample to be tested. Allow approximately one minute for the reading to stabilize.
The instrument can be calibrated in maximum 2 points: 0.0% (zero calibration) and 100.0% (slope calibration). The zero calibration of the MW190 is very stable, therefore this procedure needs to be performed only whenever the probe or the membrane is replaced.

14 MW190 Bench Meter y When the reading is stable, “READY” & “ACCEPT” tags start blinking. Press ACCEPT to confirm the “0.0%” D.O. calibration. y If the reading is within the limits (±15% f.s.), the meter stores the value (and adjusts the zero point).
Page 15
If the reading is not close to the selected value, “WRONG“ & “BUFFER” tags will blink. MW190 has automatic buffer recognition function. If the ARROW keys are pressed to select the desired calibration value, the automatic buffer recognition function is...
16 MW190 Bench Meter 11. LOGGING Up to 50 LOG samples can be stored into memory LOGGING THE CURRENT DATA To store the current reading into memory press the LOG key while in measurement mode. The instrument will display the current date (MM.DD) on the primary LCD and the record number on the secondary LCD, along with “LOG”...

LOGGING 17 When the LOG key is pressed while in measurement mode, a complete set of information is stored. VIEW LOGGED DATA Press the MR key to retrieve the information stored while in measurement mode. If no data were logged, the instrument displays “no rEC” message for the selected range. Otherwise, the instrument will display the DO value on the primary LCD and the temperature on the secondary LCD, along with last stored record number and “LOG”...

Notes: If one of the arrow keys is pressed while “dEL” message is displayed, the next/previous record number will be selected. If the SETUP key is pressed, the secondary LCD will toggle between the record number and “ALL”...

If the temperature measurements are inaccurate, temperature recalibration should be performed. For an accurate recalibration, contact your dealer or the nearest Milwaukee Customer Service Center, or follow the instructions bellow. y Prepare a vessel containing ice and water and another one containing hot water (at a temperature of around 50 °C).
Data can be exported to the most popular spreadsheet programs for further analysis. To connect the instrument to a PC through the RS232 port, use the Milwaukee MA9350 cable connector. To connect the instrument to a PC through the USB port, use a standard USB cable.

PROBE MAINTENANCE 27 15. PROBE MAINTENANCE The oxygen probe body is made of reinforced plastic for maximum durability. A thermistor temperature sensor provides temperature measurements of the sample. Use the protective probe cap when not in use. To replace the membrane or refill with electrolyte, proceed as follows: y Remove the protective cap by gently twisting and pulling it off the body of the probe (see fig.
