SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
The versatile sens
ion
™ 6 Dissolved Oxygen Meter, shown in
Figure 1 , easily measures dissolved oxygen in aqueous solutions.
The meter may be powered with alkaline batteries or by
connecting it to a Docking Station in the laboratory.
Important features include measurement in % saturation,
autocalibration, a 99-point internal datalogging function, and
altitude, barometric pressure, and salinity correction. The meter is
microprocessor-controlled, has a sealed keypad, and can send
data to a printer or computer when placed on a Docking Station
accessory.
Different cable lengths ensure easy sampling in all sample
situations. The DO probe can also be equipped with the available
BOD apparatus kit which allows it to be used in conjunction with
an electromagnetic stir stand for BOD measurements.
The sens
ion
6 Dissolved Oxygen Meter is equipped with an
automatic shut-off feature to prolong battery life. The meter
automatically shuts off 20 minutes after the last key press. Press
the
I/O
key after automatic shut-off to re-power the instrument.
