APERA INSTRUMENTS / DO803 / DO810 / AI4101, AI4102

Optical DO measurement with the cable reach you need

Replace the optical dissolved oxygen probe on an Apera DO850 or DO8500 meter. Choose DO803 with a 3 m (10 ft) cable, SKU AI4101, or DO810 with a 10 m (33 ft) cable, SKU AI4102. Both assemblies include a sensor cap and calibration/storage sleeve. Meter not included.

Which system is this replacement for?

CURRENT ITEM: DO803 / DO810

These are selected compatible meter-system or related-workflow pages, not additional items supplied with this accessory. Match the exact probe or component in the compatibility table below.

Why choose this replacement?

Select by model and reach

DO803 is the 3 m cable version and DO810 is the 10 m cable version. The shared manufacturer photographs illustrate the probe family, not a visually verified cable length.

Luminescent optical sensing

The optical sensing process does not consume oxygen during measurement, so it does not require sample flow to replenish oxygen consumed by the sensor.

No electrolyte replenishment

Unlike a conventional electrochemical DO probe, this optical design has no electrolyte to replenish and no cathode or anode to clean. The sensor cap still needs cleaning, protection and appropriate storage.

Serviceable sensor cap

The DO8032 cap is replaceable when damaged or deteriorated. A new cap requires its calibration-code setup, not just a mechanical swap.

Check the exact probe and meter system.

Model or component Compatibility and role
DO850 Compatible optical DO meter. The DO850 manual lists DO803 (3 m) and DO810 (10 m) assemblies with sensor cap and calibration sleeve.
DO8500 Compatible optical DO meter. The DO8500 manual lists both cable-length assemblies. Meter is separate.
DO8032 Replacement luminescent sensor cap. Fits DO803 and DO810. Replacement requires calibration-code setup.
DO8031 Calibration/storage sleeve. Listed as the compatible sleeve in both meter manuals; not the sensor cap.

Optical sensor caps and polarographic membrane components are different replacement systems. A shared brand or similar appearance does not establish interchangeability.

Use the optical probe with its matched meter

Connect the selected probe to an Apera DO850 or DO8500 and follow that meter’s calibration and measurement instructions. Check the sensor cap condition and hydration before use.

The luminescent optical method measures dissolved oxygen without consuming it at the sensing surface. There is no electrolyte replenishment step, but correct calibration, temperature equilibration and clean sensing surfaces remain important.

Remove the storage sleeve for measurement and wait for a stable reading. The specified 90% response time at 25°C is not a promise that every sample will fully stabilize in that time.

Match the sensing system to the work.

General water measurements

Use with a compatible DO850 or DO8500 meter for dissolved oxygen measurements in general water solutions within the specified operating range.

Low-flow samples

The non-oxygen-consuming optical method avoids a sensor-driven minimum flow requirement. Allow temperature and readings to stabilize and follow the meter manual.

Cable-reach selection

Choose the 3 m or 10 m cable to suit your sampling access. Cable length is not a stated maximum immersion-depth rating.

What this order supplies

Included item Order contents
Optical DO probe with cable DO803 with 3 m cable or DO810 with 10 m cable, according to the selected variant.
Sensor cap Included with the probe assembly; DO8032 is the listed replacement cap.
Calibration/storage sleeve Included with the probe assembly. The compatible meter is not included.
Optical DO probe family with coiled cable and calibration/storage sleeve
Probe-family photo with storage sleeve. Use the selected variant specification to identify cable length.

Protect the optical surface and keep it hydrated

Keep the sensor cap coating free of scratches and mechanical wear. For contamination, gently wipe with a soft clean cloth. Do not clean the cap with alcohol or organic solvents, and do not test water above 50°C.

For storage under 30 days, keep the probe in its calibration/storage sleeve with the sponge damp, not dripping. For longer storage, check sponge moisture every 30 days or follow the manual’s clean-water storage option.

If the coating has dried, the manuals describe soaking in clean water at room temperature for 24 hours, with longer soaking in cold water. Consult the matched manual before returning the probe to service.

A replacement DO8032 cap has calibration codes that must be entered using the appropriate setup procedure. Do not swap caps between instruments or treat replacement as an unscrew-and-go operation.

DO803 / DO810 buyer questions

Which variant is AI4101?

AI4101 is DO803 with the 3 m (10 ft) cable. The official US product configuration links that SKU to its cable option, and both meter manuals name DO803 as the 3 m probe.

Which variant is AI4102?

AI4102 is DO810 with the 10 m (33 ft) cable. The US product configuration and both meter manuals support that mapping.

Does the photo show the selected cable length?

No. These are the official shared probe-family photographs. Use the selected model and cable specification, not the image, to identify the length.

Which meters accept these probes?

Apera DO850 and DO8500 are the verified models. Compatibility is not claimed for other Apera DO meters or unspecified probe generations.

What comes with the probe?

The selected cabled probe includes a sensor cap and calibration/storage sleeve, as listed in both meter manuals. A meter is not included.

Is this probe maintenance-free?

No. There is no electrolyte to replenish, but the cap needs cleaning, careful handling and hydrated storage. Calibration and cap replacement may still be required.

Can I use it in any liquid?

No. Apera specifies general water solutions and excludes strong acidic/alkaline water solutions and organic solutions. Stay within 0 to 50°C.

What warranty applies?

The probe has a 2-year limited warranty excluding the sensor cap. DO8032 has a separate 1-year limited warranty. Damage from external force, improper use, unauthorized repair and other manufacturer exclusions is not covered.
