When installing the probe into the immersion electrode holder:
1. Screw the probe into the holder’s threaded end cap (9)
2. Run the probe’s extension cable through the pipe cap opening (3)
3. Screw the subassembly onto the PCV pipe (5)
4. Tighten the cable locking system (2) to secure the cabling
When removing the probe from tank (fish tank, water-treatment tank) or saddle
and installing in a flow cell, users must consider that water characteristics change,
as well as pressure or temperature, giving different dissolved oxygen readings
when taking measurements.
Flow-cell installation
• Ensure no strong flow velocity past the membrane to maintain membrane
integrity and prevent unstable readings. Placing the probe in a weir is
recommended in extremely turbulent aeration basin installations.
• Position the probe so that it does not trap air bubbles at the membrane cap.
• Adjust the flow rate to around 150 L/hour (40 gal./hour) in order to provide
the DO sensor with the required water movement of 0.01 to 0.03 m/second.
• Deposits of foreign material should not accumulate within the membrane area.
