CyberScan DO5000

With the CyberScan DO 5000, BOD calculations are automatic.
When the BOD button is touched, a variety of meter screens will
sequentially appear, allowing you to enter information essential to a
BOD calculation. Among these are the sample description, ID
number, and date. If a search of the memory does not match the
current sample ID, the meter treats the sample’s DO reading as an
initial reading. If the sample ID is matched in the data log, and at
least one day has passed, the meter treats the sample’s DO reading
as a final reading, and based on parameters previously entered,
calculates and displays the sample BOD, along with all relevant
information.(If the sample ID is matched on the same day as the
initial DO reading, the meter will assume a new reading, and offer
information includes a sample description, sample bottle ID volume),
final dilution (ml sample: ml bottle volume), initial and final DO values,
and the average BOD value. The average is derived from all BOD
values with the same sample description and date.
Once the meter has been standardized, you are ready to measure
DO for a BOD measurement.
