INTRODUCTION This Sper Scientific Dissolved Oxygen Meter Kit (Model SP-850081DOK) comes with dissolved oxygen (DO) probe (SP-850081DO) and also uses optional, interchangeable probes to read pH, millivolt (mV)/ oxygen reduction potential (ORP), conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), salinity, and temperature. Order only the probes required for your current parameters and add additional probes in the future.

CONDUCTIVITY MEASUREMENT (for use with SP-850081C/TD or SP-850081C/SG optional probes) Conductivity Probe Calibration The conductivity probe should be calibrated before first use. Recalibrate the probe periodically to ensure accuracy. Note… One-point calibration should be executed at 1.413 mS. For multi-point calibration, execute 1.413 first and then proceed to other ranges.
