[. . . ] Instruction Manual DO 6 Economy Hand-held Dissolved Oxygen Meter 68X243622 Rev 2 Apr 08 Technology Made Easy . . . Part of Thermo Fisher Scientific Preface This manual serves to explain the use of the DO 6 Dissolved Oxygen Handheld. This manual functions in two ways: first as a step by step guide to help you operate the meter; second, as a handy reference guide. This manual is written to cover as many anticipated applications of the DO6 palm-top meter as possible. If there are doubts in the use of the Dissolved Oxygen Handheld, please do not hesitate to contact the nearest Eutech Instruments / Oakton Instruments authorized Distributor. [. . . ] HOLD can be used in any measurement mode. 1) To hold a measurement, press the HOLD/ENTER key while in measurement mode. The %, mg/L, ppm or T annunciator in the display will start blinking to indicate that the measurement is being held. To release the held value, press the HOLD/ENTER again. The annunciator will stop blinking to indicate that the held value has been released. Continue to take measurements. 2) 3) A % Annunciator Blinks when meter is in "HOLD" mode Figure 17: Unit in HOLD mode Note: This meter has a selectable auto off feature which when activated will shut the meter off automatically after 20 minutes of non use. If the meter is shut off either automatically or manually, the HOLD value will be lost 30 Instruction Manual DO 6 7 ADVANCED SETUP FUNCTIONS 7. 1 Advanced Setup Overview The advanced setup mode lets you customize your meter's preferences and defaults. There are two Set Up menus: - one which is derived from the % Saturation or Temperature mode and the other is derived from the mg/L (ppm) Concentration mode. 7. 1. 1 1) 2) 3) 4) 7. 1. 2 5) 6) To enter the % Saturation or Temperature Set Up menu: Make sure that the meter is switched-off while in the % Saturation or Temperature measurement mode. With the MODE key pressed, power the unit on by pressing the ON key. Release the ON key before releasing the MODE key. "SEt. P" indicator will appear momentarily and "COF. 1" will appear next. You are now in the % Saturation or Temperature Set Up menu. To enter the mg/L (ppm) Concentration Set Up menu: Switch off the meter in the mg/L (ppm) Concentration measurement mode. Repeat steps 2 to 3 as above and you will be in the mg/L (ppm) Concentration Set Up menu. The following table combines the explanation for the features available in both Set Up menus. Figures 19 and 20 give an overall view of the Set Up sequence for the % Saturation or Temperature Set Up menu and the mg/L (ppm) Concentration Set Up menu. 31 Instruction Manual SEt.

[. . . ] 14. 1. 5 Applications Oxygen is essential for fish, invertebrate, plant, and aerobic bacteria respiration. DO levels below 3 ppm are stressful to most aquatic organisms. Levels below 2 or 1 ppm will not support fish. Fish growth and activity usually require 5 to 6 ppm of DO, an important consideration for Aqua-culture industry. [. . . ]
