Dissolved oxygen mode:
Inserting air into water with an air pump or a 50 ml
syringe will saturate the water to 100% of its capacity in
the specific temperature of water you are working in
(using an air pump will get more accurate readings).
1. Connect the oxygen sensor to a voltage source
(USB-200, BAT-200, WIFI-201).
2. Submerge the sensor in water. Make sure that the
internal metal thermistor that is 4.5 cm above the
oxygen probe's tip is also submerged in the water.
Use water with the same temperature for offsetting
and for further readings (oxygen is less soluble in
high temperatures).
3. Wait about 5 minutes after connecting the sensor to
the voltage source before you offset the sensor. For a
more accurate measurement, look at the module
window and wait for the reading to stabilize (it could
take a little longer).
4. Saturate the water with oxygen using an air pump or
a 50 ml syringe.
5. If you are in the "mg/L" mode, wait until you do not
see any change in the oxygen concentration. This
means that you pumped the maximum amount of air
into the water (in the specific temperature you are
working in).
