and desirable since it will minimize air pockets in the solution. Air pockets can compromise dissolved oxygen measurements. If the electrode solution does not overflow, an insufficient amount was added. Repeat the process with a new membrance cap assembly if air bubbles or air pockets are visible when the meter is inverted.
2. Slowly stir the sample with the electrode and wait for the reading to stabilize. This may take a while, depending on the electrode history. 3. Press CAL until ‘CAL’ is shown on the display. The readings will blink ‘101.7’ and ‘SA’...
