Page 11

Instruction Manual CyberScan DO 110

3.3 Connecting the AC/DC Adapter

Besides using four AAA-sized batteries as a power source, the DO 110 meter can also operate from the power mains using an AC/DC power adapter. This is extremely useful if you have an A.C. power source available (e.g. laboratory).

Before plugging in, switch off the meter and the power source of adapter. This is a safety precaution that should be adhered to safeguard your meter.

1. Switch off the meter and power sources.

2. Select the correct AC/DC Adapter which matches your input mains voltage.

3. Select the correct output voltage of the AC/DC adapter. (Output Voltage: 9 to 15 V DC, Current: >=50 mA).

4. Gently insert the power adapter D.C. jack into the meter power socket.

5. Switch on the power source of the adapter followed by the meter.

3.4 Connecting the RS232C Cable

The DO 110 meter provides a RS232C output for you to transmit your readings either to a printer or a computer via a cable. This is useful in instances where the meter is used for continuous monitoring of a certain process or experiment. Data output to the printer or the computer can then be evaluated.

The data is output in the ASCII format. This format allows the data to be imported by a wide variety of software that read ASCII data (e.g. Microsoft’s Excel, Lotus, Quattro-pro etc.). A complimentary Data Acquisition Software (DAS) is provided and it captures data transmitted into an ASCII file for later use.

Figure 4: Location of

RS232C

1. Open the printer port cover located at the bottom end of the meter. Do not use excessive force when doing this. See Figure 4.

2. Noting the orientation of the RS232C connector, plug the male connector into the RS232C port of the meter.

3. Fasten the RS232C connector by fastening the two screws at the side of the male RS232C connector.

4 CALIBRATION

4.1 Important Information on Meter Calibration

The amount of oxygen dissolved in water will depend on its temperature, atmospheric pressure and its salinity. While the pressure and salinity values are manually entered into the instrument, the temperature is being measured by the probe. It is therefore very important that the temperature is calibrated if necessary prior to the DO calibration.

The measurements of % Saturation of DO will linearly affect the measurement for DO in mg/L. Hence calibration in % Saturation of DO should be carried out first. This is described in the following section.

Before calibrating, press MODE key to select the correct measurement mode. There are 2 measurement modes for DO: mg/L or ppm, and % Saturation.

NOTE: All new calibrations will automatically over-ride existing calibration values.

Page 14

Instruction Manual CyberScan DO 110

4.2 Temperature Calibration

DO in mg/L is dependent on temperature, so it is first necessary to calibrate or verify the temperature reading. The temperature sensor is part of the DO probe and the “ATC” annunciator will light up on the LCD screen once the probe is connected correctly to the meter.

1. Switch the meter on. The ATC annunciator will appear at the right-hand side of the LCD.

2. Press the CAL/MEAS key to enter calibration mode.

3. While in calibration mode, press the MODE key to enter temperature calibration mode. The primary display shows the measured temperature reading according to the last set offset

and the secondary display shows the

factory calibrated temperature measurement.

4. Dip the DO probe into a solution of known temperature (i.e. a temperature bath). Allow time for the temperature probe to stabilise.

5. Scroll with the MI/▲ or MR/▼ keys to set the correct temperature value (i.e. the temperature of the temperature bath). You can adjust the reading in increments of 0.1°C.

6. Once you have selected the correct temperature, press the HOLD/ENTER key. The meter automatically returns to the measurement mode.

NOTES: You can offset the temperature reading up to ±5°C from original reading.

To exit this program without confirming the temperature calibration value, DO NOT press ENTER. Press CAL/MEAS instead.

4.3 DO Calibration (with ATC) –% Saturation Mode

Dissolved Oxygen exact calibration value depends on barometric pressure. The meter is set to a factory default of 760 mm Hg, which results in a calibration value of 100% saturation in air.

NOTE: If the barometric pressure setting has been changed from 760 mm Hg, the calibration value in air will automatically adjust to a value other than 100%. The adjusted value will be correct for the new barometric pressure setting. See Section

8.8.1 for barometric pressure setting.

10 Dissolved Oxygen Probe

10.1 Dissolved Oxygen Principle

The probe is a galvanic measuring element which produces an output proportional to the oxygen present in the medium in which it is placed. The galvanic probe design lets you take measurements immediately – without the typical 15 minute wait of other dissolved oxygen probes.

The probe consists of two parts:

• An upper part consisting of an anode, a cathode, and cable.

• A lower part consisting of a membrane cap, membrane, and electrolyte solution.

Oxygen diffuses through the membrane onto the cathode, where it is consumed. This process produces an electrical current which flows through the cable to the meter. The electric current produced is proportional to the oxygen that passes through the membrane and the layer of electrolyte. This makes it possible to measure the partial pressure of oxygen in the sample at a given temperature.

Since the DO in the sample is consumed by the cathode it is essential that a new sample must flow past the membrane of the probe to prevent the occurrence of false readings. The probe uses very little oxygen for its measurement. This enables it to function correctly with liquid movement as low as 2.5 cm/sec.

The permeability of the membrane to oxygen varies greatly with temperature. Therefore compensation is needed for this variation. The DO probe comes with an inbuilt Temperature Compensation for the membrane variation.

10.2 Probe Care

Under typical operating conditions, the probe should last for several years. Proper care and maintenance will help you receive the maximum probe life and ensure more accurate readings.

Since any deposits on the membrane surface act as a barrier to oxygen diffusing through the membrane, the membrane must be cleaned at regular intervals to assure maximum reliability.

After using the probe, rinse the probe in clean water and wipe it with a soft cloth or paper to avoid any hardening of deposits. If growth develops on the probe, use a disinfecting chemical to clean.

NOTE: Although the membrane is strong and not easily damaged, wipe it gently while cleaning it. If the membrane is damaged or torn, the probe will no longer function.

There are no special probe storage requirements.

10.3 Membrane Housing Replacement

Replacement of the membrane cap housing/ membrane is required only when you cannot calibrate the probe, or if the membrane is damaged.

Typical membrane damages are punctures or wrinkles caused during measurements or cleaning.

Your new DO probe comes with replacement membrane housing. To order more replacement membrane housing, see the “Accessories” section page.

10.3.1 To replace the membrane cap (with pre-installed

membrane) -

1. Replacement is much easier with single membrane housing. Unscrew the old membrane cap housing.

2. Hold the probe under hot running water and brush away the white oxide on the cylindrical anode with a stiff plastic brush – do not use metal cleaning material.

3. If the cathode has any deposits, remove them with a light scouring powder. Do not polish the cathode.

4. Fill the new membrane cap housing with electrolyte solution and inspect the bottom for leaks. If the solution

Figure 33: Positioning of O-rin

& membrane

drops are leaking from the membrane, use new cap housing.

5. If the assembly is leak-free, fill the membrane cap housing with electrolyte to the brim.

6. Tap the side of the housing gently to remove any air bubble that may be sticking to the membrane.

7. Screw the cap onto the probe. Excess electrolyte will drain out.

8. Replace probe guard.

9. Calibrate the probe (see section 4) after the % saturation readings have stabilised.

10.4 Membrane/O-ring Replacement (Optional Procedure)

It is recommended only experienced service personnel can perform this procedure.

This procedure is OPTIONAL, and should only be performed if you have new membrane and O-ring. You are also required to have a membrane installation tool. These items are available as optional accessories in the “Accessories” section.

Pull off the probe guard.

1. Unscrew the membrane cap from the probe.

2. Hold the probe under hot running water and brush away the white oxide on the cylindrical anode with a stiff plastic brush – do not use metal cleaning material.

3. If the cathode has any deposits, remove them with a light scouring powder. Do not polish the cathode.

4. Using the installation tool, unscrew and remove the membrane lock from the membrane cap. See Figure 35 on the following page.

5. Remove the membrane and O-ring. Discard both.

6. Rinse the membrane cap and membrane lock in tap water.

7. Install a new O-ring inside the membrane cap.

8. Install a new membrane. Make sure the membrane covers the O-ring all around its circumference.

9. Using the installation tool, screw the membrane lock back into the cap. Tighten the lock firmly over the membrane and O-ring, but do not over tighten.

10. Inspect the membrane for wrinkles. If wrinkles exist, remove the membrane and repeat steps 8 – 11.

11. Fill the membrane cap with water and inspect the bottom for leaks. If water drops are leaking from the membrane, re-seal the membrane on the O-ring (repeat steps 8 – 11, for membrane replacement only).

If the assembly is leak-free, empty the water and fill the membrane cap with electrolyte to the brim.

Instruction Manual CyberScan DO 110

14. Replace probe guard.

15. Calibrate the probe (see section 4) after the % saturation readings have stabilised.

Note: Membranes can only be used once. When a membrane cap is screwed onto the probe, the membrane is stretched by the cathode. If the same O-ring and the membrane is used a second time it will not fit perfectly onto the cathode. This will result in erratic readings.

10.5 Electrolyte Solution

The electrolyte solution in your probe’s cap will deplete on usage and will need to be replaced periodically.

Your new DO probe comes with accessories of one replacement electrolyte solution and a spare membrane cap. The replacement electrolyte comes premixed and ready to use. To order more electrolyte solution, see “Accessories” section.

with fresh ones as soon as possible.

12 TROUBLE-SHOOTING

When experiencing difficulties with the equipment, keep in mind of the following:

1. Check for the obvious, such as physical condition of the probe, any signs of damage to the cable, power and signal connections etc.

2. Determine whether it is the probe, meter or the surrounding environment that is causing the problem.

The following troubleshooting table identifies most of the problems likely to occur:

Problem Probable Causes Solution

Nothing is displayed when the ON/OFF key is selected.

Fluctuating readings when probe is shaken or bumped lightly or when membrane is touched.

Batteries not in place.

Batteries (+ & - poles) not in correct polarity.

Weak batteries.

Probe has lost electrolyte – a sloshing noise will be heard when the probe is shaken.

Torn or damaged membrane.

Wet connections in the wiring or within probe. See Problem 2.

Insert batteries.

Re-insert batteries in the correct polarity.

Replace batteries or attach AC adapter.

Unscrew the membrane cap, discard the electrolyte, membrane and O-ring.

Dry the internals of the probe, especially the cathode with a soft cloth.

Switch the meter ON and observe the display.

If the display reads zero, the probe and cable circuitry are alright. Service probe and change membrane.

If the display does not read zero, but some other value,

Page 55

Instruction Manual CyberScan DO 110

then there is probably moisture somewhere. See Problem 2.

With membrane cap removed and probe internals thoroughly dry, the reading from the probe is not zero and/or is erratic.

It is not possible to calibrate the probe in air – the display will not read high enough after fully adjusting the offset.

Moisture has entered the system – either into the probe itself or at junctions or points in the cable. This moisture creates a secondary galvanic action in addition to that produced by the probe and results in non-zero or erratic readings.

Probe has dried out – no electrolyte inside.

Probe is overdue for servicing – excessive build-up of anode oxide.

A deposit has built-up on the silver cathode, which is inhibiting the reduction of oxygen at its surface.

Locate the source of moisture by process of elimination. If moisture has entered a junction box or a cable joint, thoroughly dry out the area and take measures to prevent reoccurrence.

Service probe and change membrane. Use a stiff nylon brush to remove the oxide built-up from the anode. Do not use a wire brush. It is only necessary to remove the loose oxide layer. If it is suspected that the anode is badly corroded, replace with a new DO probe. Remember to tighten the nut under the anode before fitting a new anode.

If it is suspected that a deposit is coating the silver cathode, clean the cathode with 400 grit wet/dry emery paper or with some scouring powder. The deposit is sometimes visible as a brownish stain on the surface of the cathode.

Display values are erratic when membrane is lightly touched. Membrane has bulged outwards.

NOTE: The cathode must not be polished – the surface must remain dull (do not use a wire brush).

The membrane has been damaged.

If the membrane has been damaged change it and service the probe.
