Quick Start
4.1
Getting Started
Connect the oxygen sensor and optionally the temperature sensor
to the corresponding ports of the
FireStingGO
2
(chapter 3.1). Start
the
FireStingGO2
meter by pressing the OK button for about 1 sec.
Check the battery charge level of the device in the status line
(chapter 3.5) and recharge the battery if necessary (chapter 3.1.5).

For details refer to chapter 6.2.
Open the Settings Menu, enter the Sensor Code of the connected
oxygen sensor, select the sample Medium and choose your
preferred Oxygen Units. Adjust the sample Temperature used for
the temperature compensation of the oxygen measurements
(Sensor or Fixed). If applicable, adjust the sample Salinity.

Sensor Calibration
For details refer to chapter 6.3.
Open the Calibration Menu in the main menu and review if the
correct Sensor Code was adjusted. Prepare appropriate air and 0%
calibration standards. Open Calibrate Air and select the type of
temperature compensation used during the calibration: Sensor for
automatic temperature compensation with the connected
temperature sensor or Fixed with a defined and constant
calibration temperature (needs to be measured and controlled).
Then select the
appropriate
calibration medium equivalent to the
sample under investigation: Ambient Air for gas measurements
and Air Saturated Water for measurements in aqueous samples.
Insert the oxygen and temperature sensor into the air calibration
standard, wait for steady state and press SET AIR.
