SALINITY COMPENSATION If the sample contains significant concentration of salinity, the read out values must be corrected, taking into account the lower degree of oxygen solubility in this situation. Before taking any DO measurements remember to set the salinity value from the DO setup menu. The salinity affects the DO concentration, decreasing its value.

BAROMETRIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION The dissolved oxygen saturation value varies with pressure, so it is important to compensate the effect that pressure has on DO measurements. i t l º F º 6 . 4 1 . 4 6 . 3 1 .

The meter contains a built-in barometer, and it is able to automatically compensate for changes in barometric pressure. If another pressure value than the barometer’s reading is to be used, then the manual pressure feature must be enabled. (See DO Setup ). The table below contains a conversion altitude (m) to pressure (mmHg) for the altitude values from the previous table.

SOUR MEASURE SOUR MEASURE MENT MENT SOUR MEASURE SOUR MEASURE MENT SOUR MEASURE MENT MENT The Specific Oxygen Uptake Rate (SOUR), also known as the oxygen consumption or respiration rate, is defined as the milligram of oxygen consumed per gram of volatile suspended solids (VSS) per hour. This quick measurement has many advantages: rapid measure of influent organic load and biodegradability, indication of the presence of toxic or inhibitory wastes, degree of stability and condition of a sample, and calculation of oxygen demand rates at various points in the aeration basin.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USERS Before using these products, make sure they are entirely suitable for the environment in which they are used. Operation of these instruments in residential areas could cause unacceptable interferences to radio and TV equipment, requiring the operator to follow all necessary steps to correct interferences. During operation, ESD wrist straps should be worn to avoid possible damage to the probe by electrostatic discharges.
