When the batteries are depleted, the meter allows using the DC5V power adapter with USB cable for power supply. NOTE, take out the batteries.

Filling the Electrolyte Solution

1. Take out the dissolved oxygen probe and electrolyte solution from the packaging. Unscrew the membrane cap.

2. Fill the membrane cap halfway with electrolyte solution.

3. Screw the membrane cap onto the probe, excess electrolyte solution will drain out.

4. Be sure the cathode of probe makes contact with membrane cap, the electrolyte solution in membrane cap should be without an air bubble.

Setting the salinity coefficient

Salt dissolved in water will influences oxygen content of water. If your sample belong to high concentration liquids, please make sure that you have selected

an applicable salinity coefficient before measurement. For the low concentration liquids, please use the default coefficient 0.0 ppt.

1. Press and hold the key for 3 seconds to enter the setup menu and the or key until the meter shows SALT/P-3.

2. Press the Enter key, the meter shows the default salinity coefficient (0.0 ppt).

3. Press the or key to set the salinity of sample, press the Enter key to confirm. Setting is completed.

DO Calibration in % Saturation Mode

The AMTAST dissolved oxygen meter is able to perform either 1 or 2 points calibration. For single point calibration, we recommend that you perform 100%

saturation calibration in the air-saturated water. If the 2 points calibration is selected, the zero oxygen solution needs to be used.

Single point calibration - 100% saturation

1.1 Ensure that the meter shows measurement unit “%”and you have selected 1 point calibration in the setup menu. Press the Cal key, the meter shows

100.0%/CAL 1.

1.2 Hold the dissolved oxygen probe in the air at 100% relative humidity or place the probe into the air-saturated water for 15 minutes. Press the Enter

key, the meter begins the calibration, the Calibration icon continuously flashing.

1.3 Wait for the reading to stabilize, the meter automatically shows END. Calibration is completed.

Single point calibration - zero oxygen

2.1 Ensure that the meter shows measurement unit “%”and you have selected 1 point calibration in the setup menu. Press the Cal key and the or 

key until the meter shows 0.0%/CAL 1.

2.2 Immerse the dissolved oxygen probe into the zero oxygen solution for at least 10 minutes. Press the Enter key, the meter begins the calibration, the

Calibration icon continuously flashing.
