pH Measurement Mode
Preparation for Measurement
1. Unscrew the protective cap on the probe jack located on the bottom of the meter (store the protective cap in the carrying case for later use).
2. Carefully connect the pH probe to the meter’s probe jack. The probe can only be inserted in one orientation. Once it is firmly connected, screw the probe collar onto the meter to secure the probe.
3. Turn the meter on using the power key
4. Press the MODE key momentarily to switch to the pH mode only if the meter is in the mV mode. Otherwise, the unit of measure should already display pH units.
3-Point Calibration (7.00pH, 4.00pH and 10.01pH)
1. Press the CAL key to enter the Calibration mode. The meter’s display will show a blinking ‘C1’
2. Rinse the probe in distilled water, allow it to dry, and submerge it into a pH 7.00 buffer solution. Stir the solution briefly and allow it to stay in the buffer solution until a stable reading is reached
3. Press CAL again and the display will show a blinking ‘7.00’
4. This portion of the calibration procedure is complete when the display stops blinking and shows the ‘C2’ icon. The unit will automatically switch to the second point of the calibration
5. Rinse the probe in distilled water again, allow it to dry, and submerge it into a pH 4.00 buffer solution. Stir the solution briefly and allow it to stay in the buffer solution until a stable reading is reached
6. Press CAL again and the display will show a blinking ‘4.00’
7. This portion of the calibration procedure is complete when the display stops blinking and shows the ‘C3’ icon. The unit will automatically switch to the third point of the calibration
8. Rinse the probe in distilled water again, allow it to dry, and submerge it into a pH 10.01 buffer solution. Stir the solution briefly and allow it to stay in the buffer solution until a stable reading is reached
9. Press CAL again and the display will show a blinking ‘10.01’
10. After the display stabilizes the 3-point calibration icon will appear
.
1-Point and 2-Point Calibration
A one or two point calibration is acceptable if the expected measurement result is known.
For example, if the expeced pH is 4pH, it is acceptable to perform only a 1-Point Calibration (4pH). If the expected measurement is between 4.00pH and 7.00pH, the user can perform a 2-Point Calibration (4.00 and 7.00pH), and so on.
For a 4pH calibration, only the circled L will appear on the LCD. For a 7.00pH, only the circled M will appear on the LCD. For a 10.01pH Calibration, only the circled H will appear (Low, Medium, and High).
For all other applications, a 3-Point Calibration is recommended. Always perform a 3-Point Calibration on new probes and probes that have been in use for long periods. This maximizes measurement slope linearity.
Press the ENTER key to exit the Calibration mode.

pH Measurement, Calibration, and Electrode Considerations
• Error messages ERR-1: Electrode zero potential error and ERR-2: Electrode slope error; For either error, check the following:
1. Air bubbles in the electrode bulb. Shake rigorously to remove air bubbles
2. Accuracy of the pH buffers used in calibration. Replace buffers if necessary
3. Set meter to its factory default state in Parameter P7 (previous section of manual)
• Calibration intervals depend on the sample, the electrode performance, and the required accuracy. For high accuracy measurements (≤ ±0.02pH), the meter should be calibrated immediately before taking a measurement. For general accuracy (≥±0.1pH), the meter can be calibrated and used for approximately one week before the next calibration.
• The meter must be recalibrated in the following situations:
1. New probe, or probe that is unused for a long period of time
2. After measuring acids (pH<2) or alkaline solutions (pH>12)
3. After measuring a solution that contains fluoride or a concentrated organic solution
4. If the solution’s temperature differs widely from the calibration solution temperature
• The soaking solution contained in the supplied protective bottle is used to maintain activation in the glass bulb and junction. Loosen the capsule, remove the electrode and rinse in distilled water before taking a measurement. Insert the electrode and tighten the capsule after measurements to prevent the solution from leaking. If the soak solution is turbid or moldy, replace the solution.
• To prepare a soak solution: Use 25g pure KCL dissolved with purified water and diluted to 100mL. The electrode should not be soaked in a distilled water protein solution or an acid fluoride solution for long periods of time. In addition, do not soak the electrode in organic silicon lipids.
• For calibration accuracy, the pH of the standard buffer solution must be reliable. The buffer solution should be refreshed often, especially after heavy use.
• For best accuracy, always keep the meter clean and dry, especially the meter’s electrode and electrode jack. Clean with medical cotton and alcohol if necessary.
• The sensitive glass bulb at the front of the combination electrode should not come in contact with hard surfaces. Scratches or cracks on the electrode will cause inaccurate readings. Before and after each measurement, the electrode should be washed with distilled water and dried. Do not clean the glass bulb with a tissue for it will affect the stability of the electrode potential and increase the response time. The electrode should be thoroughly cleaned if a sample sticks to the electrode. Use a solvent if the solution does not appear clean after washing.
• Electrodes that have been used over a long period of time, used in a strong solution that has damaged the sensitive bulb, or used with a substance resulting in a jam at the junction will be become passivated; the sensitivity will decrease, its response will slow, and the readings will be inaccurate. Replace the electrode as soon as possible in these cases.
• For abnormal readings, try calibrating again; if the problem persists replace the Electrode. The user can also try resetting the meter to factory default conditions per Parameter P7 (detailed in an earlier section). Electrode life can be shortened by heavy use, extreme conditions, and improper maintenance.

Calibration Considerations
This meter offers two calibration solution series (configurued in Parameter P1).
(a) (Europe & U.S.A. series) — 84μS/cm, 1413μS/cm, 12.88 mS/cm and 111.9 mS/cm
(b) (China series) — 146.6μS/cm, 1408μS/cm, 12.85mS/cm and 111.3 mS/cm
The DO700 offers a unique one-point calibration feature. The user can select the calibration solution closest to the expected measuremnt value. In general the most common calibration solution is 1413 μS/cm. Use the supplied conductivity electrode (K = 1 cm-1), and perform the calibration using the supplied 1413 μS/cm calibration solution. The meter can then be used for measurements below 100 mS/cm. Please refer to the chart below.

Electrode constant
Calibration solution
Calibration indicator
There are two electrode calibration methods: Standard Solution calibration and Constant
calibration. The calibration described above in the section Calibration refers to the Standard Solution method (the most accurate calibration method, assuming the calibration buffer standard is accurate and fresh).
To select the Constant calibration method use Parameter P5 described below in the Programming Parameters – Conductivity section.
The temperature compensation coefficient of the meter setting is 2.0%. However, the conductivity temperature coefficient is different for solutions of a different variety and concentration. Use the chart below for common solution types (use Parameter P4 as described below in the Programming Parameters – Conductivity section).
The meter can perform an automatic non-linear temperature compensation in distilled water for readings below 10 μS/cm.
Note: When the coefficient for the temperature compensation is set to 0.00 (no compensation), the measurment value will be based on the current temperature.

Conductivity Measurement, Calibration, and Maintenance Considerations
• The meter and probe are calibrated before leaving the factory; the user can take measurements immediately upon receiving the unit.
• The recommend calibration period is once per month under normal circumstances; It is necessary to calibrate a newly purchased conductivity electrode or one that has been in service for a long period of time.
• Keep the conductivity electrode clean. It’s best to rinse electrodes with the sample solution.
• The surface of the supplied conductivity electrode is plated with a layer of platinum (black) in order to lower the electrode polarization and increase the measuring range. Do not polish the black platinum surface; clean it by stirring in Distilled water. If excessive organic buildup appears on the black platinum coating clean with hot water and detergent or with alcohol.
• Replace the electrode if the above cleaning methods are ineffective.
• Reset the meter to its factory default settings (Parameter P9) if unusual operation is
noticed. If the reset process does not solve the issue, return the unit for an evaluation.
15
Dissolved Oxygen (DO) Measurements
Preparation
• Remove the DO electrode from the solution bottle.
• Determine if the sponge inside the bottle is moist. If not, moisten the sponge but do not
allow excess water in the bottle.
• Small air bubbles are acceptable in the electrode but larger air bubbles should be removed. To do so, remove the membrane cap and add electrolyte. Connect the electrode to the meter and allow for a 15-minute polarization.
• Press the power key to turn on the meter (the DO indicator should appear).
• Press and hold
then release.
Calibration
• Use the percentage (%) unit of measure for calibration.
• Press the CAL key to enter the Calibration mode (the flashing CAL icon will appear on
the meter’s LCD).
• Put the DO electrode into the calibration solution (calibration container that the probe was housed in upon delivery) and tightly secure the cap of the calibration solution, place vertically and allow polarizing for 3 to 5 minutes.

Dissolved Oxygen Water Sample Test
• To measure moving water (water sample velocity of flow >5cm/s) insert the DO electrode into the water. The water surface should cover the electrode’s thermistor (temperature sensor). The recommended electrode orientation with regard to the water is a 45°to 75°angle. Move the electrode around in the water and allow 3 to 5 minutes to take the reading.
• To measure in static water: Insert the DO electrode into water, water surface should cover the location of the electrode’s thermistor (temperature sensor), the direction for the electrode with respect to the water is a 45°to 75°angle. Quickly stir the electrode in water at a speed >5cm/s. Allow 3 to 5 minutes while taking the reading.
• To test in slower flowing water: Use the first method above but stir the electrode faster in the water.
Dissolved Oxygen Measurement and Calibration Considerations
• The air temperature and water temperature should be within 10 degrees C, if the temperature difference is greater, please immerse the electrode in the sample water for 10 minutes and then calibrate.
• After each start-up, the electrode must be polarized and a calibration must be performed; do not turn the meter OFF (when in the DO mode, the default auto power off time is zero).
• During DO tests, the temperature affects the measurement greatly. The electrode’s thermistor should come in direct contact with the water sample. Please allow 3 to 5 minutes for the thermistor to gage a stable temperature measurement.
• DO measurements are also greatly affected by Barometric pressure. The DO700 meter has an automatic Barometric pressure compensation function.
• The DO electrode must not be left static in the test solution. Always stir the electrode in the solution.
• When measuring, remove air bubbles from the solution under test otherwise measurement accuracy will be compromised.
• Small air bubbles in the electrode’s electrolyte are acceptable; however larger bubbles must be removed.
• Keep the surface of the DO electrode moist to protect the cathode electrolyte. The supplied storage sponge should always be kept moistened for proper storage.
• The salinity electrode is installed in the DO electrode. Its surface is plated with a layer of platinum (black) to reduce electrode polarization. This surface must not be rubbed or wiped (clean by swirling it in water). Wash organic matter off of the surface with lukewarm water containing detergent or use alcohol if necessary.
• For any display abnormalities while measuring or calibrating, set the meter to its factory default settings using parameter P7 (explained in next section). If abnormalities persist, the electrode most probably needs replacing.

Replacing the Membrane Cap
Replace the Membrane cap under the following conditions:
• Electrode response time increases.
• Displayed value appears incorrect or abnormal.
• Damaged or cracked membrane.
Replace as follows:
1. Loosen and then remove the membrane cap.
2. Clean the electrode (without membrane cap) with distilled water and shake the
water off of the electrode.
3. Lightly polish the cathode surface (gold) with a piece of clear velvet or tissue.
4. Slowly inject electrolyte into a new membrane cap. After injecting, check the
electrolyte for air bubbles. If air bubbles are present, carefully tap the membrane cap to remove the air pockets.
5. Place the membrane cap on a clean surface and place the electrode in the cap
vertically. Slowly twist in a clockwise motion until electrode is tightly attached. Excess electrolyte may be displaced, wipe excess electrolyte with tissue and distilled water.
6. Check that there are no air bubbles present in the electrolyte (smaller air
bubbles are acceptable). If large air bubbles are present, re-assembly will be required.
7. Do not touch the sensitive membrane when using the electrode or replacing the
membrane cap. Oils from the skin will affect the quality of the membrane and decrease the rate of oxygen permeability.

Zero Dissolved Oxygen Calibration
The meter receives a zero oxygen calibration before leaving the factory and only requires a zero oxygen calibration when the electrode (or the electrode cap) is replaced or has been in use for a relatively extended period of time (6 months or longer). To perform a zero oxygen calibration:
1. Prepare 100mL of anaerobic water: In a 100 mL beaker add 5g anhydrous sodium sulfite (Na2SO3) to 100 mL distilled water. Stir to dissolve. The anaerobic water will be usable in 24 hours.
2. Polarize the DO electrode by connecting it into meter for 15 minutes and then perform a standard calibration as described in the calibration section earlier in this manual.
3. Place the electrode in the anaerobic water and press the CAL key to enter the calibration mode. When the displayed value is ≤ 0.15mg/L (≤5min) press the ENTER key.
4. If the displayed value is ≤0.02mg/L (within 5 minutes), this indicates that the response time and the residual current are normal and there is no need to perform the zero oxygen calibration, press the ENTER key to the normal operating mode.
5. If the displayed value is >0.15 mg/L after 5 minutes, this indicates that the response time of the meter is too slow and there is too much residual current. In this case, replace the membrane cap or remove the membrane cap and use the supplied polishing paper to lightly wipe the gold plane’s cathode (the surface along the gold-polished arc) and clean the surface of the cathode with a soft cloth or tissue. Clean the electrode with distilled water and shake off the excess water. Add some electrolyte to the membrane cap, re-assemble, and then perform a full scale and a zero oxygen calibration.
Salinity Calibration
Under normal circumstances, a salinity calibration is not required. The meter is equipped with an automatic salinity compensation; In addition, a salinity calibration has been performed at the factory prior to shipment; however a salinity calibration is required when the electrode is replaced or has been in service for a relatively extended period of time. Refer to parameter P2 in previous section for calibration procedure.
Barometric Pressure Setting
The meter is equipped with a manual barometric pressure adjustment. It is recommended that the value be set according to the standard barometric pressure table when there is an excessive change in barometric pressure while using meter. This ensures the accuracy of the barometric pressure compensation. To change the barometric value refer to parameter P3 in the previous section. Use the Table in Appendix C for barometric pressure values.
