APPENDIX A
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
Oxygen Measurement
Ranges:
0.0 to 19.99 mg/L dissolved oxygen
0.0 to 199.9% air saturation
Accuracy:
±0.1% of saturation value, plus 1 Least Significant Digit for mg/L
readings, plus probe error
±0.1% of air saturation, plus 1 Least Significant Digit for % readings, plus
probe error
Resolution: 0.1% of the saturation value, expressed in mg/L, or 0.01 mg/L , whichever
is greater; 0.1% air saturation
Temperature Measurement
Range:
-5.0 to +45.0°C
Accuracy:
±0.1°C, plus probe error
Resolution: 0.1°C
Temperature Compensation
The mg/L mode is automatically temperature-compensated to an accuracy of ±1% of DO
readings between 0 and 5°C, and to an accuracy of ±0.6% of readings between 5 and
45°C.
The % air saturation mode is automatically temperature-compensated to an accuracy of
±0.5% of calibration values between 0 and 5°C, and to an accuracy of ±0.3% of values
between 5 and 45°C.
Salinity Compensation
Range:
0.0 to 40.0 ppt
Accuracy:
±.02 mg/L
Operating Environment
0 to 45°C, 10 to 90% humidity, non-condensing
Water Resistance
With the probe receptacle capped, every case opening is has a gasket to resist the entry of
water.
