Thank you for purchasing the EcoSense ODO200, a precise handheld
instrument that measures temperature and dissolved oxygen in % and
mg/L. The EcoSense ODO200 measures dissolved oxygen in water
using optical, lifetime luminescence technology and uses a digital
signal to send information between the instrument and probe. Key
advantages of the EcoSense ODO200 include the elimination of sensor
flow dependence (stirring) and sensor warm-up time, greater stability,
less frequent calibrations, and the elimination of frequent membrane/
electrolyte changes. This instrument uses one 9V battery.

THE PROBE
Sensor caps last longer if stored in a moist environment and kept clean
and free of scratches in the paint layer. Erratic readings can result from
damaged or dirty caps. If unstable readings occur from large scratches
in the paint or dye layer, replace the sensor cap. See the Maintenance
and Troubleshooting section of this manual for information on how to
clean or replace the sensor cap. The average sensor cap replacement
interval is 12 to 18 months, although they may last longer.
Avoid substances that may damage probe materials such as
concentrated acid, caustics and strong solvents. Probe materials
include urethane (cable), Xenoy (probe body), acrylic (sensor cap) and
acetal and stainless steel (probe guard).
