English
W A R NI N G
Burn Hazard, Fire, Explosion.
• The temperature range over which the battery can be used, stored or discharged is -10 to 60°C. Use of the
battery outside of this temperature range may result in:
• Damage to the analyzer's battery, resulting in a potential fire hazard from a battery rupture and electrolyte
leakage, and
• Reduced battery life expectancy
• Immediately discontinue use of the instrument if, while using or charging the battery, the battery emits an
unusual smell, smoke or the enclosure feels unusually hot to the touch. Contact your Hach Lange Service
Center, if any of these problems are observed.
• In the event of a battery electrolyte leakage from the enclosure, avoid contact of the electrolyte with the eyes.
Do not rub the eye. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated the battery fluid
could cause damage to the eye.
• Never place the analyzer and its batteries in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers, or on induction
cookware.
Burn Hazard, Fire, Explosion.
• Use of the analyzer should immediately be discontinued if the battery compartment is exposed to flooding due
to leakage, wear or misuse.
• Misuse of the analyzer may cause the internal battery to get hot, explode, or ignite and cause serious injury.
• Do not expose the internal battery to any liquid such as water, beer or salt water, or allow the battery to get
wet.
• Do not disassemble or modify the analyzer or its battery. The internal battery pack contains safety and
protection devices which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, explode or ignite.
• Do not place the battery/instrument on or near fires, stoves, or other high temperature locations (above 60°C).
Do not place the battery/instrument in direct sunlight, or use or store the battery inside cars in hot weather.
Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat, explode, or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also
result in a loss of performance and a shortened life expectancy.
W A R NI N G
When charging the battery:
W A R NI N G
Burn Hazard, Fire, Explosion.
Be sure to follow the rules listed below while charging the battery. Failure to do so may cause the battery to
become hot, explode, or ignite and cause serious injury.
• The temperature range over which the battery can be charged is 10 to 45°C. Charging the battery at
temperatures outside of this range may cause the battery to become hot or to rupture. Charging the battery
outside of this temperature range may also harm the performance of the battery or reduce the battery's life
expectancy.
• When charging the batteries use the specified battery charger provided with the instrument.
• When charging batteries, do not place the analyzer in or near fire, or into direct sunlight. The additional heat
can result in increased battery heating that can damage the battery's built-in protection circuitry necessary for
prevention of ignition of the battery. Additionally, increased heat may cause activation of the batteries built-in
protection circuitry, thus preventing the battery from charging further.
• Do not continue charging the battery if it does not recharge within the specified charging time. Doing so may
cause the battery to become hot, explode, or ignite. Contact your Hach Lange Service Center, if any charging
problems are observed.
Hach Lange assumes no liability for problems that occur when the precautions listed above are not
followed.

Figure 2 Right side view
1 Sample flow adjustment valve2 Sample flow valve with inlet and outlet connections
(the sample inlet is at the top of the valve and the
outlet at the bottom).
Sample flow valve
The sample flow valve has three positions:
• Sample line PURGE
• Sample flow ON
• Sample flow OFF
The PURGE position is used to clear the sample line of any build up of air bubbles. For a thorough
purge, it is recommended to keep the valve in this position for 5 seconds. During this operation, the
sample flows directly from the inlet tubing to the outlet tubing. All measurements are suspended
during this time as the sample does not come into contact with the sensor.
The ON and OFF positions turn the sample flow on and off respectively.
Instrument connections
External power
W A R NI N G
When using an external power supply to power the instrument, ensure the external power socket is earthed.
In addition to the internal rechargeable battery pack, the instrument can be powered by an external
power source using the supplied adapter and cable. Connect the adapter to the power supply
8
English
connection socket on the instrument (No. 5 in Figure 1 on page 8), and plug into an external power
supply socket.
Note: When the instrument is connected to an external power source, the internal battery pack is automatically
recharged.
RS232 connection
This connection can be used to download measurement data and for real-time monitoring of the
measurements.
The data sent to the PC via this link is identical in format and content to that stored in the
measurement file on the instrument and which can be transferred using the USB mass storage
device (see Exported files on page 19 for details).
USB connection
The USB connection (No. 4 in Figure 1 on page 8) is used for exporting and importing data from and
to the instrument. Tables can be set up on the PC using the 3100 PC software application and then
uploaded to the instrument using a USB mass storage device.
In addition, tables can be exported from the instrument to the USB storage device and then imported
to other 3100 instruments to standardize configurations.
For more details on this, refer to Import / Export on page 18.
Connecting sample lines
Measurements can be taken on a continuous or sample by sample basis. In either mode, the
instrument must be connected to the sample line as follows:
1. The sample inlet and outlet connections on the instrument are located on the ON/OFF sample
flow valve (No. 8 in Figure 2 on page 8 and enlarged in the diagram below):
1 Sample inlet2 Sample outlet
2. Connect the inlet and outlet tubing to the sample source and to the drain, respectively. The
diagram above, shows the valve in the OFF position. To turn the sample flow fully ON, turn the
valve counter-clockwise until it clicks into position (about 1/8th of a turn). To remove any residual
air bubbles from the sample line, turn the valve to the PURGE position for 5 seconds before
turning to the ON position.
Note: A length of stainless steel tubing is supplied in the tool kit (4mm instrument version only) and can be
used instead of the plastic tubing on the outlet valve if the pressure in the instrument is high enough to cause
excessive movement of the plastic tubing.
3. If the sample contains particles, it is recommended to use a filter on the inlet tube to avoid any
clogging of the sample flow. The filter (including a box of 10 meshes) is contained in the tool kit
supplied with the instrument. It is also available separately as spare part number DG33216 (4mm
instrument), DG33317 (6mm instrument) or DG33318 (1/4 inch instrument) and the set of
10 meshes as spare part number DG33217.
4. Control the sample flow using the adjustment valve (No. 7 in Figure 2 on page 8) located above
the sample flow valve.
Flow rate guidelines:
• For cans and bottles the minimum recommended flow rate is 150mL/min. For small volume
packages a lower flow rate can be used but this should not be below 100mL/min.
English
9
• For tank and in-line applications the recommended flow rate should be above 200mL/min and
up to a maximum of having the flow adjustment valve fully open.
Note: The flow rates indicated with arrows on the flow meter (as illustrated below) are approximately
150mL/min (lower arrow) and 200mL/min (upper arrow). The silver bead gives an indication of the flow rate.

precision certified barometer, measure the barometric pressure in the location where the
instrument is used. If the values differ, enter the correct value in the box provided and select
Validate calibration
Gas sensor calibration
There are two calibration modes available
• Zero calibration
• High level adjustment
The zero calibration method is the best method to guarantee the sensor specifications.
To get more accurate measurements for samples with higher oxygen concentrations (above 1%
oxygen which corresponds to about 400 ppb dissolved O2) a high level adjustment can be performed
using a gas mixture containing 2% oxygen. However, this should not be done without first ensuring
the zero point is accurate (i.e. by performing a zero calibration first).
Zero calibration
1. Rinse flow path with 20 mL of ethanol (EtOH) using the syringe and connectors supplied in the
tool kit
2. Connect a cylinder of oxygen free gas (minimum 99.9% purity) to the instrument and adjust the
flow to approximately 100 mL/min
3. Let the oxygen free gas run through the instrument for 5 minutes
4. Press the Enter key to start the calibration
5. Wait until the Signal in range and Stability reached fields display Yes which indicates the
calibration is within acceptable limits. The Calibration possible field should also display Yes at
this point. Press the Enter key to complete the calibration
6. Accept (OK) or reject (Cancel) the new calibration data
High level adjustment
There are three possible modes for high level adjustments:
• Using a reference gas mixture (gas cylinder)
• Using a known oxygen sample (reference sample)
• Enter a factory parameter provided by Hach Lange (this option is only required when the sensor
spot has been replaced)
If the calibration mode displayed is not the required mode, then press the Enter key and select the
required mode from the three options available in the drop-down list:
• Factory parameter
• Reference sample
• Ref. gas bottle
Factory parameter
1. In the Calibration mode window select Factory parameter
2. Scroll down to the Reference value window and enter the factory parameter as found on the
package of the LDO spot (model number DG33218)
3. Scroll down to the Start Calibration window and press the Enter key to start the calibration
4. Accept (OK) or reject (Cancel) the new calibration data
16
English
Reference sample
1. Run the reference sample through the instrument and adjust the flow to approximately
150 mL/min.
2. In the Calibration mode window select Reference sample
3. Scroll down to the Reference value window and enter the oxygen value of the sample
4. Let the sample run through the instrument for 5 minutes to stabilize the measurement
5. Scroll down to the Start Calibration window and press the Enter key to start the calibration
6. Wait until the Signal in range and Stability reached fields display Yes which indicates the
calibration is within acceptable limits. The Calibration possible field should also display Yes at
this point. Press the Enter key to complete the calibration
7. Accept (OK) or reject (Cancel) the new calibration data
