To prevent the sensor cap from drying out, store the probe in the gray
calibration/storage sleeve with a moistened, clean sponge. In the event
the sensor cap dries out, rehydrate it following the instructions in the
Maintenance and Troubleshooting section of this manual.

INITIAL SETUP

Throughout the manual, the term “probe” refers to the end of the cable
where the sensor is located, the term “sensor” refers to the Optical
Dissolved Oxygen sensing portion of the cable/probe assembly, and
the term “sensor cap” refers to the removable sensing cap that is
replaced about once per year (Figure 1).

PREPARING THE PROBE

Each EcoSense ODO200 sensor cap has unique calibration coefficients
associated with it. These coefficients are labeled on the instruction
sheet included with each EcoSense ODO200 cable/probe assembly
and replacement ODO200 sensor cap.

Remove the probe/cable assembly from the shipping container and
locate the sensor cap instruction sheet. Be sure to save the instruction
sheet in case you need to reload these calibration coefficients.
New probe/cable assemblies have the sensor cap installed and
coefficients loaded into the probe at the factory. When a cable is
installed, the coefficients are automatically sent to the instrument.

Preparing the probe for the first time:

1. Remove the probe guard from the probe by turning it

counterclockwise.

2. Remove the red storage cap which contains a moist sponge from

the end of the probe by pulling it straight off the sensor. Save this
to use later for long term storage.
