1 Overview

Thank you for purchasing Sanxin DO8500 Portable Optical Dissolved Oxygen Meter. The

DO8500 measures dissolved oxygen in water using luminescence technology through an

optical sensor and displays data using advanced intelligent instrument. Compared to

conventional electrochemical dissolved oxygen meter, the DO8500 is more accurate and

stable, easier to use and most cost-effective portable optical dissolved oxygen meter.

Before you use the instrument, please carefully read the instruction manual to help you

properly use and maintain.

1.1 Luminescent optical sensor.

Stability and Accuracy: Oxygen is not consumed during measurements. It is not

affected by sample flow rate and thus provides a stable measurement.

Easy to Use: No electrolytes and membranes are present in the meter; no warm-up;

frequent calibration is not necessary.

Interference-Free: Sensor cap is coated with a light-shielding layer and minimizes the

impact from external light sources. The use of non-chemical sensors helps reduce a

variety of heavy metal ions interference in the aqueous environment, along with H2S

and NH4and other chemical substances.

Long service life. Other than mechanical deterioration (such as scratches to the light

shielding layer), the sensor cap has up to 8000 hours of service life.

Easy to Calibrate and Maintain. Probe is equipped with calibration/storage sleeve,

which makes calibration and maintenance more convenient and reliable.

1.2 Advanced Intelligent Instrument

Built-in microprocessor chip, It`s features up to auto temp compensation, auto air

pressurecompensation, auto salinity compensation and parameter setting.auto power

off, and lower power indication.

Meter meets with the requirement of international GLP standards, clock display,

manual storage and automatic timing storage.USB communication port.

Reading stable and automatic locking modes.

Clear large-size LCD display with white backlight.

Meets IP57 waterproof rating; In addition, a standard instrument suitcase is provided.

Special Notes

Sensor cap surface coating can not withstand high temperatures, so the optical dissolved

oxygen electrode can not test the water of more than 50 ℃.

When the electrode is not in use, it should be kept in the calibration/storage sleeve, and

keep the sponge in moist, so that the fluorescent cap will not dry. If the sponge was dry for

long time or an exposure of the probe for more than 8 hours in dry air, should soak the

electrode in tap water for 24~48 hours and hydration (see article 4.2), otherwise it may

cause unstable measurements or slow response.

Before get readings or do other operations, wait about 30 seconds after meter powered on.

4 Optical Dissolved Oxygen Probe

4.1 Probe Structure

The instruments DO803 optical dissolved oxygen probe has a cable length of 3m and a

built-in temperature sensor for automatic temperature compensation. The electrode

structure is as shown in Figure.-12

1. Bottom cover of the calibration sleeve

5. Locking cap

2. Sponge for water storage

6. Optical DO electrode

3. Sensor cap

7. O ring

4. Calibration/Storage sleeve

Immersion line:

The tested solution should be above this line

4.2 Probe Maintenance

When store the probe, it should be kept in the calibration/storage sleeve, and keep the

sponge in moist, so that the fluorescent cap will not dries out. This is very important.

Otherwise it may cause unstable measurements or slow response.

(A) Before the first time use, unscrew the bottom cover of calibration sleeve to check if the

sponge is wet.if water storage sponge dry, or an exposure of more than 8 hours in the

dry air, should remove the electrode at room temperature and soak the probe in tap

water for 24 hours and hydration, if the water temperature is low, the soaking time

needs 48~72 hours.

(B) Daily-storage, Insert the probe in calibration/storage sleeve, twill on the locking cap

tightly, add several drops of clean water every three days to keep the probe head wet.

(let the sponge be saturated, but not dripping), for long-term storage, users can store

the electrode in a beaker containing water.

produce oxygen. If stained or moldy, please clean immediately. There`s four

water-storage spong for back-up in complete packing kit.

4.3 Sensor Cap

(A) The sensor cap is an important part of the optical DO probe. The surface coating of the

cap cannot be scratched or mechanically worn. Otherwise, the life of the sensor cap will

be reduced or the probe will be damaged. Please pay special attention to it when using

the probe.

(B) The surface coating of the sensor cap cannot withstand high temperatures, so the

optical DO probe can not be tested in water above 50 ℃.

solvents to clean, otherwise it may damage the probe. It can be gently wiped with a soft

cloth or paper towels. To disinfect theprobe, immerse it in 3% hydrogen peroxide for 15

to 30 minutes and then rinse off with water.

(D) The sensor cap has a service life of more than 8000 hours. When the probe is not being

used, it does not "bleach" luminescence layer; in addition, the storage time will not

reduce the life of the probe, so the actual use time of the sensor cap is far more than a

year. The major factor affecting the service life of the sensor cap is the surface coating

being damaged under external force. So the key is to protect the sensor cap from

external damage.

(E) If the sensor cap is damaged or deteriorated, users need to purchase a new one. Every

new cap has a set of calibration codes which need to be input into the instrument. The

specific input method will be described in the instruction manual of sensor cap.

(F) The probe that comes with the instrument or purchase separately (the luminescence

cap was assembled on the probe already) can be used directly without the input of the

calibration codes. So users should not take off the sensor cap when it is not in use. Nor

should one swap the caps from different probes. When being installed, the sensor cap

must be tightened and the interior can not be contaminated or wet.

5 Preparation for Calibration

5.1 Dissolved Oxygen Units Selection

Dissolved oxygen units displays in two forms: mg / L and %, and ppm and %. Press to

switch between mg / L →%, or ppm → %. Users can choose mg / L or ppm in parameter

setting P3.1, but only a percentage (DO%) is displayed in probe calibration.

5.2 Resolution Selection

The resolution unit can be selected in parameter setting P3.2: 0.01 or 0.1mg/L (ppm), After

setting, the meter will display resolution of 0.1 or 1 in according to %.

5.3 Temperature Unit Selection

The temperature unit can be selected in parameter setting P4.2: ℃or ℉.
