In-Situ Flow Cell for Low-Flow System with RDO Sensors (purchased after 09/2008) - Manual

RDO sensor
For best results, perform a 2-point calibration at these points before going into the
field.
100% calibration point:
Fill bubbler cup with clean water. Turn on the pump, regulate with the pinch a.
valve. Insert the TROLL 9500 into the bubbler, resting the RDO adapter
plate on the rim of the cup. Allow 5-10 minutes for temperature and oxygen
equilibration in the water. Select RDO in the software Navigation tree, click
the
Calibrate button, then click Run.

When readings have stabilized, click b. Next. Continue with the Zero Oxygen
Point for a 2-point calibration.
0% calibration point:
Fill the orange-based cal cup with sodium sulfite a.
(Na

SO

) solution and slide it up around the RDO
sensor until the cap and thermistor are completely
submerged. Be sure that there are no air bubbles
on the foil.
Select
b. Run in the Zero Oxygen Point screen. When
readings have stabilized, click Next, then Finish to
finalize the calibration.
Rinse c. very thoroughly after calibrating in sodium
sulfite.
The RDO sensor is now calibrated and ready to use.
Turbidity sensor:
The sensor has been factory-calibrated over its full range (0
to 2000 NTU). If field calibration is required, we recommend a zero point calibration.
Use deionized water and the clear flow cell. Make sure that the 3-way valve on the
inflow port is closed.

The software wizard will prompt for the following information for the output report:
• Well diameter & depth • Pump model & type • Tubing type
• Screen length • Depth to water, top of screen & pump intake
• Tubing inner diameter and length (for software volume calculations)
