1. Introducció
The Extech DO600 Waterproof ExStik II Dissolved Oxygen Meter is designed for precise measurement of dissolved oxygen levels. It displays oxygen concentration as a percentage of saturation (0 to 200%) or as a concentration in parts per million (ppm) or milligrams per liter (mg/L) (0 to 20.00 ppm/mg/L). Key features include adjustable altitude compensation, adjustable salinity compensation, and an analog bargraph for trend indication. This manual provides instructions for the proper setup, operation, and maintenance of your DO600 meter.

4. Configuració
4.1. Instal·lació de la bateria
The DO600 meter uses four 3V CR-2032 batteries. These are typically pre-installed. If replacement is necessary:
- Twist off the battery compartment cap located at the top of the meter.
- Remove the old batteries, noting their polarity.
- Insert new CR-2032 batteries with the correct polarity.
- Torneu a col·locar la tapa del compartiment de la bateria de manera segura per mantenir el segellat impermeable.
4.2. Electrode Preparation
Before first use or after prolonged storage, the DO electrode requires preparation:
- Unscrew the protective sensor cap from the electrode.
- Fill the spare membrane cap with the provided electrolyte solution. Ensure no air bubbles are trapped.
- Carefully screw the membrane cap onto the electrode, ensuring the membrane is taut and free of wrinkles.
- Allow the electrode to stabilize for approximately 15-30 minutes in the electrolyte solution before calibration.
5. Instruccions de funcionament
5.1. Encendre/apagar
Premeu el botó ON/OFF button to power the meter on or off.
5.2. Calibració
Regular calibration ensures accurate readings. Calibrate the meter in air-saturated water or a known standard solution.
- Ensure the electrode is prepared as described in Section 4.2.
- Immerse the electrode in air-saturated water (e.g., tap water stirred vigorously for several minutes) or a DO standard solution.
- Manteniu premut el botó CAL/RECALL fins que aparegui "CAL" a la pantalla.
- The meter will automatically recognize the calibration point and adjust. Wait for the reading to stabilize and for the calibration indicator to confirm completion.
5.3. Prendre Mides
To measure dissolved oxygen:
- Enceneu el comptador.
- Submergiu l'elèctrode a la sample solution. Ensure the membrane is fully submerged and free of air bubbles.
- Gently stir the electrode in the sample to ensure proper flow across the membrane.
- Wait for the reading on the LCD display to stabilize. The display will show both dissolved oxygen and temperature.
- Premeu el botó MODE/HOLD button to cycle between % saturation and ppm (mg/L) readings.
- To hold a reading, briefly press the MODE/HOLD botó. Premeu de nou per alliberar-lo.

5.4. Altitude Compensation
Dissolved oxygen saturation levels are affected by altitude. The DO600 allows for manual adjustment:
- Refer to the meter's full instruction manual for specific steps to enter and adjust altitude compensation (0 to 20,000 feet in 1,000 ft. increments).
5.5. Salinity Compensation
Salinity also influences dissolved oxygen levels. The DO600 provides adjustable salinity compensation:
- Consult the meter's comprehensive manual for detailed instructions on setting salinity compensation (0 to 50 ppt).
6. Manteniment
6.1. Electrode Cleaning and Storage
To maintain electrode performance:
- Esbandiu l'elèctrode amb aigua destil·lada després de cada ús.
- If the membrane becomes fouled, gently clean it with a soft cloth or cotton swab. Replace the membrane cap if it is damaged or heavily contaminated.
- When storing, ensure the protective sensor cap is filled with electrolyte solution to keep the membrane hydrated.
6.2. Substitució de la bateria
Canvieu les piles quan aparegui l'indicador de bateria baixa a la pantalla. Consulteu la secció 4.1 per obtenir instruccions d'instal·lació de la bateria.
