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. Also included is an electrode arm and metal bracket
which can be easily attached to the left or right side of the meter
according to your preference.
We take great pride in every instrument we manufacture
and hope this one serves you well.

switch to Temperature calibration during DO calibration
modes.
Press and hold for 5 seconds to enter SETUP mode.
Toggles between measurement and calibrati on modes.
In SETUP mode, returns user to the measurement mode.
Confirms calibration values in CAL mode.
Confirms selections in SETUP mode.
View recalled values in memory mode.
S Increase value. Scroll up in SETUP & CAL modes.
MI (Memory Insert) stores values into memory.
MR (Memory Recall) recalls values from memory.
T Decrease value. Scroll down in SETUP & CAL modes.
Freezes measured reading. Press again to resume
live reading.

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.
The electrode is light-weight with a 12-mm
body diameter and a 16-mm tip diameter
from at the detachable Noryl cap. The
compact sensing area reduces air
entrapment resulting in quick, accurate, and
stable readings.
Provide simple stirring for best results—
ideally achieve a minimum water flow rate of
2 inch/second on the membrane.
The probe is not recommended for samples
beyond 0 to 50 °C.
The membrane is thin and can be replaced if damaged. Use care to
protect from scratches, abrasion, or contact with solids. For best
results keep membrane clean by rinsing after daily use. See Section 7
– Electrode Maintenance.

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 temperatur e, 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 perfo rming any
DO calibration or measurement.
See
Section 4.1 — Temperature Calibration
.
See Section 5.6 — Barometric Pressure Adjustment.
See Section 5.7 — Salinity Adjustment.
The DO 700 will accept two % saturation calibration points; 100%
using saturated air or air-saturated water, and 0% using zero oxygen
solution. When 100% or 0% calibration is performed, the concentration
value is adjusted accordingly. Therefore, it is not necessary to calibrate
the concentration mode. If calibrating for 0% oxygen, note that the
meter will take several minutes to reach 0% saturation value and
constant stirring is not required.
The following table lists calibration values in % saturation calibration
mode with two different barometric pressures. Note that the saturation
value (92.1%) has decreased due to the lower barometric pr essure
entered.
% Saturation
(of factory default value)
Calibration Value
(760mmHg)
Calibration Value
(700mmHg)
less than 10% 0% 0%
10.1% to 49.9% CAL ERR CAL ERR
50% to 150% 100% 92.1%
If calibration is attempted from 10.1% to 49.9%, CAL Err message is
shown—calibration is rejected and the display will return to calibration
mode.

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.
To offset your % saturation reading to match another instrument, see
Section 5.8 – Offset Adjustment
.
Perform daily calibration for best results. New calibration values will
automatically override the existing data. To completely recalibrate the
meter and when installing a replacement electrode, it is best to clear all
calibration data. See Section 5.10 – Reset.
4.1 Temperature Calibration
For best DO accuracy, ensure that the temperature is accurate. The
thermistor sensor used for automatic temperature compensation and
measurement is accurate and stable, so frequent calibration isn’t
required. Temperature calibration is recommended upon probe
replacement, whenever the temperature reading is suspect, or if
matching against a certified thermometer is desired.
The DO 700 will default to 25 ºC / 77 ºF when the ATC plug is not
connected.
1) Place the probe into a solution with a known accurate temperature
such as a constant temperature bath.
2) Press
followed by . The primary display shows the
measured temperature while the secondary display shows the
factory default temperature.
4) Adjust the temperature using or . Press to accept or
to cancel. The meter allows an adjustable maximum value of ±
5
º
C (or ± 9ºF) from the factory default temperature.

4.2 % Saturation Calibration
The DO700 can be easily calibrated in air. For best accurac y, 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 i n 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.
4.3 100% Calibration
1) Rinse the probe well with clean water (do not dry).
2) Press
to select % saturation.
3) Hold the probe in the air with the tip facing downwards. Wait for
the reading to stabilize.
4) Press
. The CAL indicator will blink and secondary display will
indicate the calibration point, 100.0.
5) Press
to confirm the calibrati on. The primar y display will bl ink
briefly before calibrating to 100.0%.
6) Press
to return to measurement mode, or continue with 0%
calibration if desired.
4.4 0% Calibration
1) Rinse the probe well with clean water (do not dry).
2) Press
to select % saturation.
3) Submerse probe in zero oxygen calibration solution and stir
slowly. Wait for the reading to stabilize—this can often take
more than 10 minutes!
