3.3.2  0% Calibration

1

Rinse the probe well with DI water
or rinse solution.

2

Press 

MODE

to select % saturation.

3

Dip the probe into zero oxygen solution.
Wait for the reading to stabilise.

4

Press 

CAL

. The CAL indicator and intended

percentage calibration point (0%) display
briefly, before CAL flashes. The % value
based on the factory default calibration
is shown.

5

Press 

HOLD/ENTER

to confirm the

calibration. The meter displays “CO”,
automatically calibrates to 0.0% saturation,
then returns to measurement mode.
