1. INTRODUCTION
The DO 6 PLUS microprocessor-based handheld meter is economical
and easy to use. It has a large custom LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) for
clear and easy reading.
The DO 6 PLUS offers measurement of dissolved oxygen (DO) as
percentage saturation or concentration. Temperature measurement is
available in degrees Celsius. The meter ensures accurate measurement
of the dissolved oxygen values through the temperature, barometric
pressure and salinity compensation features.
Meter kits include a dissolved oxygen probe, ref ll solution, a rubber
boot/stand, 4 alkaline “AAA” batteries and instruction manual. For
additional information, see Section 11 — Replacement Parts and
Accessories.
Read this manual thoroughly before operating the meter.

2. GETTING STARTED
2.1 Description of Keypad Functions
The meter has 6 keys on a splash-proof keypad. Some buttons have
multiple functions depending on the mode of operation.
ON/OFF Powers meter on and off. Meter starts up in the
measurement mode that was last used.
CAL Enters into calibration mode. Pressing while in calibration
mode will abort calibration without conf rming value.
MODE Selects desired measurement mode. When pressed
simultaneously with ON/OFF, it will go to the SETUP
mode.
HOLD Freezes measured reading. Press again to resume live
reading.
ENTER Conf rms calibration value in calibration mode and
conf rm selections in SETUP mode.
Increments/decrements values during calibration mode or
scroll through SETUP menus. Set offset adjustments and
conf guration settings.

2.2 Description of LCD Annunciators
The meter has a large custom LCD that consists of 4-digit segments plus
annunciators for percentage saturation (%), concentration (mg/L or ppm)
and Temperature in degrees Celsius (T).
Other annunciators include “A” (when the ATC function is activated),
“CAL” (when meter is in calibration mode) and low battery condition.

2.3 Inserting & Removing the Rubber Boot/Stand
1. To remove the meter from the rubber boot, push out the bottom
edge of the meter until it is completely out of the boot. Ensure
that the probe cables are not connected. See Figure 1.
2. To insert the meter into the rubber boot, slide in the top of the
meter before pushing the bottom edge of the meter down to set it
into position. Lift up the stand at the back of the meter for bench
top applications. See Figure 2.

2.4 Inserting New Batteries
The battery compartment is found at the back of the instrument. To open
the battery compartment, push the cover in the direction of the arrow and
lift up. Note the polarity of batteries before inserting them into position.
After the batteries have been replaced, reposition the cover and press
down until it locks.
2.5 Battery Replacement
A low battery annunciator on the LCD alerts when the battery power is
running low. Caution: Power off the meter before replacing the batteries.

2.6 Connecting the Probe
1. To connect the probe, align the connector slots with the posts of
the meter socket and rotate the connector clockwise until it locks.
2. To remove the probe, rotate the connector in an anti-clockwise
direction until it unlocks, and slide the connector off the socket.
3. Insert the mini phono jack of the temperature sensor into the
socket on the meter as shown below.

2.7 Electrode Information
The DO 6 PLUS includes a galvanic DO electrode
which does not require warm-up. It generates
a millivolt signal proportional to the amount of
oxygen in the solution.
The probe has a dual cable; a BNC connector
for DO measurement and a phono jack plug
for temperature. The sensor utilizes a cathode,
anode, and electrolyte that are separated from
the sample by an oxygen permeable membrane.
The membrane is pre-assembled and f xed to a
detachable cap. The pre-assembled cap design
allows simple replacement and fast conditioning.
The probe is lightweight and includes a built-in
temperature sensor. The epoxy body of the probe
is 12mm in diameter while the detachable Noryl
cap is 16mm in diameter. The compact sensing
area reduces air entrapment resulting in quick,
accurate, and stable readings.
The pre-assembled cap must be completely
submersed in the solution to obtain an accurate
reading. Provide simple stirring for best results—
ideally achieve a minimum water f ow rate of 2 inch/second on the
membrane. The probe is not recommended for use in samples outside of
the range of 0 to 50 °C.
Shaking the probe will aid in removing bubbles, if needed, before taking
a reading. When calibrating in air, shake to remove water from the
membrane.
The membrane is thin and can not be repaired if it is damaged. Use care
to protect from scratches, abrasions, or contact with solids. For best
results keep the membrane clean by rinsing it after daily use. See Section
6 – Probe Maintenance.
