Calibration / Adjustment
Note:
Function check (HOLD) active for the currently calibrated module
Current outputs and relay contacts behave as configured
NOTICE!
Without adjustment every dissolved oxygen meter delivers an imprecise or
wrong output value! After replacing the sensor, the electrolyte, or the sensor
membrane, you must perform a calibration.
The resulting values must be taken over by an adjustment for calculating the
measured variables (measured value display, output signals)!
Procedure
Every dissolved oxygen sensor has its individual slope and zero point.
Both values are altered, for example, by aging. For sufficiently high accuracy of
oxygen measurement, the meter must be regularly adjusted for the sensor data
(adjustment).
Sensor Replacement (First Calibration)
After replacement of the sensor, electrolyte or sensor membrane, a "First
Calibration" should be performed. During First Calibration, the sensor data are
stored as reference values for the statistics.
The ”Statistics” menu of Diagnostics shows the deviations of zero, slope, cali-
bration temperature, calibration pressure, and response time of the last three
calibrations with respect to the reference values of the First Calibration.
This allows evaluation of the drift behavior and aging of the sensor.
Calibration/Adjustment Methods
• Automatic calibration in water/air
• Product calibration (saturation/concentration/partial pressure)
• Data entry
• Zero correction
