Instruction Manual Mi 190 DO Bench Meter

Before proceeding with the calibration, make sure the probe is ready for measurements (see page 7),
i.e. the membrane cap is filled with electrolyte and the probe is connected to the meter and properly
polarized.
For an accurate calibration, it is recommended to wait at least 15 minutes to ensure precise
conditioning of the probe.
Keep the protective cap on during polarization time and remove it for calibration and measurements.
Follow the calibration procedure (see page 10).
SALINITY AND ALTITUDE COMPENSATION
If the sample contains significant concentration of salinity or if you are performing measure-
ments at an altitude different from sea level, the read out values must be corrected, taking into
account the lower degree of oxygen solubility in these situations (see pages 20-21).
Remember to set the altitude and/or the salinity before taking any D.O. measurements. The
meter will automatically compensate for these factors.
D.O. MEASUREMENTS
Make sure that the instrument has been calibrated and the protective cap has
been removed.
• Immerse the tip of the probe in the sample to be tested. Allow approximately
one minute for the reading to stabilize.
• The Dissolved Oxygen value (in %) is displayed on the primary LCD and the temperature on
the secondary LCD.

The salinity affects the D.O. concentration, decreasing its value. The table below shows the
maximum oxygen solubility at various temperatures and salinity levels.
