2.4 Initial Power-On
Press the power button to turn on the meter. The display will illuminate, and the meter will perform a self-test. Ensure the sensor is connected before proceeding with measurements or calibration.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Basic Measurement
To perform a dissolved oxygen measurement:
- Ensure the sensor is properly connected and calibrated.
- Immerse the DO sensor into the sample solution, ensuring the sensing element is fully submerged and free from air bubbles.
- Allow the reading to stabilize on the display. The meter will automatically compensate for temperature variations using its integrated sensor.
- Record the stable dissolved oxygen value (mg/L or ppm) and temperature (°C).
3.2 Navigation and Display
The Seven2Go meter features intuitive T-Pad navigation for easy menu access and setting adjustments. The clear display shows measurement values, temperature, battery status, and other relevant information. Refer to the on-screen prompts for specific functions.
3.3 Calibration
Regular calibration is crucial for accurate measurements. The Seven2Go meter supports calibration using zero-oxygen tablets and air-saturated water. Follow the on-screen instructions for the calibration process. The meter includes a calibration reminder function to ensure timely calibration.
For detailed calibration procedures, refer to the specific instructions provided with the calibration materials.
3.4 Data Storage
The meter can store up to 200 measurements. To save a reading, follow the prompts on the display after a stable measurement is obtained. Stored data can be reviewed directly on the meter.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning the Meter
Wipe the meter's exterior with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild detergent solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the housing or display. Ensure the battery compartment and sensor port covers are securely closed before cleaning to maintain the IP67 rating.
4.2 Sensor Care
The InLab 605-ISM IP67 DO sensor requires specific care to ensure longevity and accuracy:
- Cleaning: Rinse the sensor thoroughly with distilled or deionized water after each use. If deposits are present, gently clean the membrane with a soft brush or cloth.
- Membrane Replacement: The sensor membrane may require periodic replacement depending on usage and sample conditions. Refer to the sensor's specific manual for replacement instructions.
- Storage: Store the sensor according to the manufacturer's recommendations, typically in a moist environment or a specific storage solution to prevent the membrane from drying out.
4.3 Storage of the Meter
When not in use for extended periods, store the Seven2Go meter in its uGo carrying case in a dry, cool place. Remove batteries if storing for several months to prevent leakage. Ensure the sensor is properly stored as per its specific instructions.
