Operation
Taking measurements

For the highest accuracy, calibrate the instrument before taking measurements (

Calibration on page 33

).

1. Create site and Data ID lists for logged data (if applicable) (

Logging on page 19

).

2. Set the logging method (single or interval) (

Logging on page 19

).

3. Set the Auto Stable parameters (if applicable) (

Auto Stable on page 26

).

4. Verify that the sensors and/or port plugs are correctly installed in all bulkhead ports (

on page 8

).

5. Install the sensor guard (

Figure 6 on page 11

).

6. Insert the sensors into the sample.

NOTE: Make sure to submerge the sensors completely. If using a depth sensor, submerge to where the cable

assembly attaches to the bulkhead.

7. Move the bulkhead in the sample to release any air bubbles and to provide a fresh sample to the sensors.
8. Wait for the sensor/s to stabilize in the sample.
9. If logging, select Log One Sample or Start Logging (

Logging on page 19

).
