1. INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing our DO 700 series benchtop meter. This microprocessor-based meter is economical and simple to use. The design incorporates a large LCD for clear viewing, yet offers a small footprint to conserve space. The DO 700 measures Dissolved Oxygen in % saturation or concentration (mg/L or ppm) with temperature (ºC or ºF). Each meter includes a convenient slide-out card for quick reference.
2. GETTING STARTED 2.1 Keypad Functions Powers the meter on and off. Upon power on, the meter automatically begins in the mode that was last used. Calibration and memory values are retained even if meter is unplugged. Toggle between available measurement modes—% saturation or concentration (mg/L or ppm). Also used to switch to Temperature calibration during DO calibration modes. Press and hold for 5 seconds to enter SETUP mode. Toggles between measurement and calibration modes.

3. DISSOLVED OXYGEN / ATC ELECTRODE The DO 700 includes a galvanic DO electrode with built in temperature measurement. The electrode has a dual cable; a BNC connector for DO measurement and a miniphono plug for temperature. The electrode is pre-filled with electrolyte that is separated from the sample by an oxygen permeable membrane. The membrane is pre-assembled for you and fixed to a detachable cap. The pre-assembled cap design allows simple replacement and fast conditioning.
4. CALIBRATION The DO 700 has three measurement modes; DO as % saturation, DO as mg/L (or ppm) concentration, and temperature. Dissolved oxygen levels vary with temperature, barometric pressure, and salinity, so calibration must be performed with consideration of these factors. It is necessary to set the proper temperature, barometric pressure and salinity values prior to performing any DO calibration or measurement. See Section 4.1 — Temperature Calibration. See Section 5.
The DO 700 will accept one calibration point in concentration mode. The minimum value is 2 mg/L (ppm), and the calibration window is +/40% of the factory default value. Temperature and % saturation calibration should take place before attempting to perform mg/L (ppm) concentration calibration. Calibration of the concentration mode will only replace the previous concentration calibration and does not affect the % saturation calibration.
4.2 % Saturation Calibration The DO700 can be easily calibrated in air. For best accuracy, ensure that the barometric pressure value is accurate. The barometric pressure factory default is 760 mm Hg (1.013 bar), which results in a theoretical calibration value of 100% saturation in air. If the barometric pressure setting has been changed from 760 mm Hg, the meter will automatically adjust to a new % saturation calibration value instead of 100%. This new value is correct for the adjusted barometric pressure.
4) Press . The CAL indicator will blink and the secondary display will indicate the calibration point, 0.0. 5) Press to confirm the calibration. The primary display will blink briefly before calibrating to 0.0%. 6) Press to return to measurement mode, or continue with 100% calibration if desired (note 0% calibration followed by 100% calibration is not recommended---always perform 100% calibration first). 4.
NOTE: The minimum calibration value is 2 mg/L. In addition, the calibration is limited to ±40% adjustment of the factory default value to prevent erroneous calibrations.
5. SETUP FUNCTIONS Use the setup feature to customize your instrument operation. There are two setup menus; one menu is derived from the % saturation mode and the other from the mg/L (or ppm) concentration mode. First, select the appropriate measurement mode you wish to adjust by pressing until the desired units are displayed. During for 5 seconds to enter SETUP measurement, press and hold mode of the parameter being measured. Press or to change programs or change options.

5.7 3.4 SALt (Salinity Adjustment) For best accuracy, enter the actual salinity value if your samples are at least 0.1 ppt (100 ppm). Maximum adjustment is 50 ppt (50,000 ppm or 5% salt). Press . Press or to adjust the value (in parts per thousand). Tip: 0.1 ppt = 100 ppm salinity to confirm. Press 5.8 3.5 OFS (Offset Adjustment) from % mode Use this feature to offset the meter’s value to another DO meter. Using the % saturation mode, observe the reading a sample solution after it has stabilized.
5.10 4.0 rSt (Reset) Press . Press or to select “Yes” (Reset) or “No” (Cancel). If “Yes”, press or to select “Cal” (calibration reset only) or “FCt” (complete reset to factory default settings). Press to confirm. 5.11 5.0 CLr (Clear Stored Memory) Press . Press or Press to select “Yes” (Erase memory) or “No”. to confirm.
6. TAKING MEASUREMENTS During measurement the dissolved oxygen reading is automatically compensated for pressure and salinity. For best accuracy, ensure the pressure and salinity settings are adjusted accordingly from the setup menu. The factory default value for barometric pressure is 760 mm Hg or 101.3 bar (sea level). The factory default value for salinity is 0.0 ppt (no salinity). See Section 5.6 — Barometric Pressure Adjustment. See Section 5.7 — Salinity Adjustment.
6.1 HOLD Function during For prolonged observation of a reading, press measurement mode to freeze the display. The “HOLD” indicator will display when the reading is held. To release the held value and resume measurement, press memory by pressing again or insert the held value into . 6.2 Storing and Recalling Data The DO 700 can retain up to 100 data points into memory for later retrieval. to insert the measured value 1) In the measurement mode, press into memory.
7. ELECTRODE MAINTENANCE The DO 700 electrode produces an output proportional to the oxygen present in the medium in which it is placed. The galvanic probe design allows for immediate use—unlike the typical 15 minute warm-up period required for polargraphic electrodes. The probe consists of two parts. The upper part consists of the anode, cathode, and dual cable. The lower part consists of a pre-assembled cap, and electrolyte solution.
There are no special probe storage requirements. Cap and Electrolyte Replacement Replacement of the pre-assembled cap is required only when you cannot calibrate the probe, or if the membrane is damaged. Typical membrane damages are punctures or wrinkles caused during measurements or cleaning. 1) Unscrew the cap counter clockwise from the probe sensing tip. 2) 3) Rinse the probe under running water. Mount the nozzle tip onto the syringe provided.
Electrolyte Solution The electrolyte solution in your probe’s cap will deplete on usage and will need to be replaced periodically. The replacement electrolyte solution included with your probe comes premixed and ready to use. To order more electrolyte solution, see Section 9 – Replacements and Accessories.
8. DISSOLVED OXYGEN THEORY Dissolved Oxygen (DO) refers to the volume of oxygen that is contained in water. There are two main sources of DO in water; atmosphere and photosynthesis. Waves and tumbling water mix air into the water where oxygen readily dissolves until saturation occurs. Oxygen is also produced by aquatic plants and algae during photosynthesis.
Measurement Units One measure of DO in water is parts per million (ppm) which is the number of oxygen molecules (O2) per million total molecules in a sample. The “mg/L” unit is equivalent to ppm (a liter of water weighs 1 million milligrams—one part in a million is similar to one milligram in a liter). Calculating the % saturation is another way to analyze DO levels.
Air Calibration Understanding the principle of air calibration is easy, once you know that it is partial pressure that the probe is responding to. When the probe is in air, it is measuring the partial pressure of oxygen in air. If water is air saturated, then the partial pressure of oxygen in the water will be the same as it is in air. Therefore, all you need to know is the temperature of the air in which the probe is placed.
Some pollutants such as acid mine drainage produce direct chemical demands on oxygen in the water. DO is consumed in the oxidationreduction reactions of introduced chemical compounds such as nitrate 11+ 22(NO3 ) and ammonia (NH4 ), sulfate (SO4 ), and sulfite (SO3 ) and + + ferrous (Fe2 ) and ferric (Fe3 ) ions. These are important consideration for water and wastewater treatment industry.
