- 3 - 4. THE OUTSIDE VIEW On the front wall of the meter there is a graphic LCD placed (Pic. 1), which displays the following measurement functions: - oxygen concentration measurement in % or mg/l; - temperature measurement. At the top of the LCD the current time and date are displayed. Choosing particular functions is described in the chapter 6.1.

In the upper wall of the meter connectors are placed with the symbols given below: F - BNC-50 input for connecting the dissolved oxygen sensor; - Chinch input to connect the temperature probe; P - input for connecting the power adapter; Pic. 2.

- 5 - 5. THE METER‘S MAINTENANCE The meter is equipped with a graphic touch screen. The maintenance consists in pressing particular keys and windows which appear on the screen. Grey captions in the windows and keys inform that these elements are not active in this particular operating mode.
(description in the chapter 15.3). This function is deactivated during calibration, while memorising results and connecting with a computer or power adapter. VWR Collection DO-230 dissolved oxygen meter instruction manual v1.0x...
- 7 - 6.1. Stabilised reading The stabilised reading signalisation is active only for the reading marked with a frame. If the measured value meets the criterium of the stabilised reading, it is signalised by green colour of the frame and additionally with a sound if it has been activated.
After disconnecting the probe the meter enters the manual temperature compensation mode. Instead of the symbol the is displayed. In case of the manual temperature compensation the temperature value is set on the temperature measurement parameters screen. VWR Collection DO-230 dissolved oxygen meter instruction manual v1.0x...
(more than 2 months) requires removing the electrolyte. After this period the container must be filled with a fresh electrolyte and the sensor stored in distilled water for about 24 hours. VWR Collection DO-230 dissolved oxygen meter instruction manual v1.0x...

- 11 - Accurate measurement result is determined by the condition of the membrane. The membrane must be free of any cracks (appearing of electrolyte-drops or white spots when dry). Before measurement the sensor should be activated by storing in distilled water for about 15 minutes. Strongly polluted wastewater after some time causes clogging of the membrane, which is recognised by inability to calibrate the device at 100% oxygen content (the calibration range becomes too narrow).
Marker next to the point value informs, that the last calibration was performed in this particular point. The calibration points values are fixed and cannot be changed. VWR Collection DO-230 dissolved oxygen meter instruction manual v1.0x...
- 13 - 9.3. Calibration validity time The meter stores the calibration validity time of the oxygen sensor. Termination of this time is signalised with yellow sensor number. To set the calibration validity time, press the window, the numerical keyboard VALIDITY will appear to enter the number of days and confirm with the button.

- 15 - 9.5. Atmospheric pressure influence compensation The concentration of oxygen saturated in water determined in mg/l depends directly on the atmospheric pressure value, which means that 10% pressure change causes also 10% oxygen saturation change. If the atmospheric pressure value differs significantly from 1013 hPa, it should be calculated into the measurement.
The characteristic erase is signalised with red coulour of the sensor number on the screen. VWR Collection DO-230 dissolved oxygen meter instruction manual v1.0x...

- 17 - To calibrate, follow the instructions: - enter the calibration mode: select the dissolved oxygen measurement on the measurement screen, press and hold the button until the background changes its colour to red, the meter enters the calibration mode and automatically changes the unit to % O (if the previous setting was to mg/l O...
- for accurate measurement of oxygen concentration in mg/l enter the salinity value (section 9.4); - check or simulate the solution flow; - wait about 1 1.5 min until the reading stabilises (depending on sensor) and read the value.

- 19 - 11.2. Measurement with manual temperature compensation Follow the instructions: - disconnect the temperature probe; - turn the meter on with the button; - choose the unit according to the section 9.1; - for accurate measurement of oxygen concentration in mg/l enter the salinity value (section 9.4);...
(on the left) the %O Air symbol is displayed to differenciate it from the reading of percentage of the dissolved oxygen concentration in water. VWR Collection DO-230 dissolved oxygen meter instruction manual v1.0x...
To enter this value, press the window, the numerical keyboard MANUAL TEMP. will appear to enter the value and confirm with the button. VWR Collection DO-230 dissolved oxygen meter instruction manual v1.0x...
- 23 - 14. TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT Follow the instructiions: - turn the meter on by pressing the button - connect the temperature probe to the Chinch connector, the symbol will appear on the screen; - immerse the temperature probe into the solution; - wait till the value stabilises and read the result.
- 25 - 15. OPTIONS SCREEN Enter the screen by pressing the button in the measurement OPTIONS screen. The screen contains the following tabs: OPTIONS - choose the stabilised reading signalisation mode; FUNCT. - viewing the memorised measurement results; MEM. - choose the language, set the economical mode, time and MISC.

The automatic switch-off mode is active only while working with the rechargeable batteries. The function is deactivated for calibration, memorising results and work with the power adapter. Entering zero for the parameter deactivates this mode entirely. AUTO OFF VWR Collection DO-230 dissolved oxygen meter instruction manual v1.0x...
- 27 - 15.3.2. Setting the brightness and lighting time The brightness settings are very important while working in the field. Choose one of five brightness modes. The table below shows the influence of the brightness settings to the meter‘s operating time (for NiMH rechargeable batteries with a capacity of 2000mAh).
(Pic. 12). Before the readings collecting is started, the memory content may be deleted according to the next subchapter. Pic. 12 VWR Collection DO-230 dissolved oxygen meter instruction manual v1.0x...
- 29 - 16.2. Viewing and deleting readings The stored readings may be viewed on the meter‘s screen. Follow the instructions: - on the measurement screen press the button and choose the tab on the options screen. A screen will appear with information about the memory usage and the buttons (Pic.
This kind of failure is not repaired under the warranty conditions. Caution: application of batteries instead of rechargeable batteries when using the power adapter may result in fire and damage the meter. VWR Collection DO-230 dissolved oxygen meter instruction manual v1.0x...
