Typical response for temperature and dissolved oxygen readings is 90% in 10 seconds at a low constant temperature of 30°C with the 5775 membrane. DO response and low temperature and low DO is typically 90% in 30 seconds. YSI 5776 High Sensitivity membranes may be used to improve response at low temperature and DO concentrations. |

| Temperature | Accuracy | + 0.2°C |
| Operating Range | 0° to 45°C | |
| Sensitivity | When measuring oxygen, the probe output current increases approximately 3.5% per 1°C of increase in temperature. The circuitry automatically compensates for this effect in a typical probe. However, the exact temperature sensitivity of an individual probe may vary slightly according to its condition. Therefore, a probe should be calibrated at a temperature close to the measurement temperature in order to minimize the possible effect of such variation. |
