The dissolved oxygen probe is provided with a FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION - METER membrane covering the polarographic sensor elements, and a built-in thermistor for tempera- ture measurement and compensation. The thin permeable membrane isolates the sensor elements from the testing solution, but allows oxygen to enter.

Use the HANNA adapters (such as HI 710005 BATTERY REPLACEMENT or HI 710006) with proper polarity configuration. When the batteries become LOBAT weak, the "LOBAT" indication SAMPLE appears on the LCD to warn °C the operator that the display will be shut-off after about 4 hours of use to prevent erroneous readings due to low voltage.
Any variation introduced by the user to the supplied equipment may degrade the instrument's EMC performance. Hanna Instruments reserves the right to modify To avoid electrical shock, do not use these instruments when the design, construction and appearance of its voltage at the measurement surface exceeds 24 Vac or 60 Vdc.
