INITIAL PREPARATION
Pour small quantities of HI 7040 Zero Oxygen solution into a
beaker. If possible, use a plastic beaker to minimize any EMC
interferences.
Make sure the probe is ready for measurements (see probe preparation
on page 8), i.e. the membrane is filled with electrolyte and the
probe is connected to the meter.
Switch the meter on by pressing the On/Off switch.
For an accurate calibration, it is recommended to wait for at least
15 minutes to ensure precise conditioning of the probe.
Remove the protective cap from the DO probe.
Set the appropriate altitude factor (see
page 19). Make sure the salinity factor is
set to zero (see page 18).
ZERO CALIBRATION
Submerge the probe into HI 7040
zero oxygen solution and stir gently
for 2-3 minutes.
Press CAL. The “ ” and “NOT READY
tags will blink on the LCD until the
reading is stable.
When the reading is stable,and is within
the limits (±15% f.s.) “CFM” starts
blinking. Press CFM to confirm the
0.0%” DO calibration.
Press CAL. The instrument will return to measurement mode and will
memorize the zero calibration data. For a
two-point calibration do not press CAL and
follow the procedure below.
