– The housing of the detector is made of the top-quali-
ty ABS material resistant to shocks, atmospheric factors
and most chemical substances. The device is mois
-
ture-resistant, which makes it easier to keep it in a clean
and hygienic condition.
– Dramiński DOD2 is factory set for a measurement cycle
consisting of 3 measurements, successively accepted
with the
key, thanks to which the device will dis-
play the result indicating the measured number of units
after the third measurement. However, in the case of
very restless animals it is more convenient when the
measurement cycle consists of 1 measurement to make
the examination last shorter. Therefore, the number
of measurements in the measurement cycle can be
changed from the menu according to the user’s needs
(see section: MAIN MENU).
– The measuring range is set to suit all dog breeds and is
in the range from 0 to 2,000 units. When the measuring
range is exceeded, e.g. when the test is performed “in
the air” with the electrodes not covered with mucus, 3
horizontal dashes (- - -) will appear on the display.

– Before use, make sure that the electrodes are clean (de-
greased). Contaminations after the measurement or re-
sidual urine on the probe may have an adverse eect on
the measurement results. It is forbidden to use any type
of lubricants because they will hinder vaginal mucus
contact with the electrodes.
– Before using Dramiński DOD2 for the rst time, the user
should:
a) take several measurements on a certain number of fe
-
males which certainly have an oestrous cycle.
b) take several measurements on a few females which
clearly do not have an oestrous cycle.
