Conductivity

1 .  Temperature coefficient entry screen doesn’t show up in Setup .

 

•   

 or 

 is selected for the temperature compensation in Setup .  Change 

conductivity temperature compensation to 

 and the next screen allows 

the manual entry of the temperature coefficient .

2 .  Conductivity goes out of range when it should still be in range .

 

•    Check that the Cell Type selected in setup is 

 and not one of the  

manual ranging numbers 1 – 7 .

Dissolved Oxygen 

1 .  Manual barometric pressure entry screen doesn’t show up in Setup .

  •   Auto is selected for barometric pressure compensation in  

setup .  Change pressure compensation to manual and the  
next screen will be the manual pressure entry screen .

2 .  Manual salinity factor entry screen doesn’t show up in Setup .

 

•   Auto is selected for salinity correction in setup .  Change salinity correction to 

manual and the next screen will be the salinity factor entry screen .

3 .  The Auto-stir DO probe doesn’t turn on when 

 is pressed .

 

•    Read Type must be set as Auto and a stirrer speed must be set to operate 

initiate auto-read & stirring from the BOD probe button .

ISE

1 .  It takes several minutes for the readings to stabilize in calibration .

 

•   Concentration range in setup maybe set too low .  Change setting to high .

 

•  ISE may need maintenance, refer to the ISE electrode User Guide .

2 .  Auto-blank correction gives slope that is too low or cannot be manually checked .

 

•   Turn Auto-Blank correction off in Setup .
