Operation
Prepare the Electrode
The electrode is shipped “dry” and requires filling with the supplied electrolyte solution before
use. The membrane should be in place and does not need replacement. Follow the procedure at
the end of this guide for filling the bonded cap.
NOTE: Make sure that there are no air bubbles in the electrode before use.
Powering the ExStik®
The ExStik
®
uses four (4) CR2032 Lithium Ion Batteries. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the
meter on or off. If the batteries are weak, the ‘BAT’ indicator appears on the LCD. The auto
power off feature shuts the ExStik
®
off automatically after approximately 10 minutes of
inactivity. The auto power off feature may be temporarily disabled for convenience or for
extended polarization time.
Startup Polarization Period
When the ExStik
®
is powered up for the first time, the electrode requires polarization. In order
for this to occur a three minute (approx.) polarization period must elapse before measurements
can be made. A special circuit is included in this meter which, upon turn ‐ on, maintains a very
small biasing current to the electrode for a period of seven days. This keeps the electrode
polarized and enables the user to make immediate measurements (within a 7 day period)
without waiting for the electrode to re ‐ polarize. Each time the ExStik® is turned on, the
polarization timer is reset and the 7 day polarization period is initiated. A small asterisk at the
bottom right corner of the display is used to indicate that the polarization timer circuit is active
even when the meter is off. If the ExStik is not used for more than seven day, a 3 minute waiting
period is required before a measurement can be made.
Turn ‐ On Diagnostics
1. When the meter is turned ON the LCD displays “SELF” and “CAL” while the meter runs a
diagnostic routine.
2. During this time the meter is recalling the User Calibration data, performing self diagnostics
& initializing the circuitry.
3. After this function is complete, the meter proceeds to the normal measurement mode.
4. The DO600 should be calibrated daily for measurement accuracy.
