perform full scale and zero oxygen calibration according to the item 7.3.1 and 7.3.2. 7.3.3. Salinity Calibration: The meter has an automatic salinity compensation function, so salinity calibration is required. Since salinity calibration is done by factory before delivery, so no need salinity calibration during initial use. Only make salinity calibration when replace with a new electrode, or when the electrode is unused for long time. - Page 31 the water is a 45°to 75°angle. Quickly stir the electrode in water at a speed >5cm/s and allow 3 to 5 minutes to take the reading. 7.4.3. Notes: (a) When measuring, remove air bubbles from the solution under test. Larger bubbles in the electrode’s electrolyte are also not allowed (small air bubbles are acceptable).
