3.2.2  Span Calibration in Air (all Oxygen modes) 

1.

 

Hang  the  Dissolved  Oxygen  sensor  in  air.  The  tip  of  the  Dissolved  Oxygen  sensor  should  be 
pointing downwards. 

Allow the reading to stabilise. After a zero calibration, this may take up to 5 minutes.

The 

90-FLMV

 is now calibrated and is ready for Dissolved Oxygen measurements. Rinse the 

Dissolved  Oxygen  sensor  in  distilled  water  and  blot  dry  before  placing  it  into  unknown 
samples. 

3.2.3  Span Calibration in Solution (Salinity-corrected ppM Mode only) 

This span calibration provides an alternative to calibrating the Dissolved Oxygen sensor in air. It is 
only available when the 

90-FLMV

 is in Salinity-corrected ppM mode. Please note that the normal 

AIR calibration (section 3.2.2) is still available for Salinity-corrected ppM mode. 

1.

 

Measure  the  Dissolved  Oxygen  content  of  the  solution  to  be  used  for  calibration.  This  is 
generally  done  with  a Winkler  titration.  The 

90-FLMV

  span calibration should  be  performed 

immediately the Dissolved Oxygen content of the solution is known, as the value may not be 
stable. 

2.

 

Place the Dissolved Oxygen and Conductivity sensors into the calibration solution. Ensure that 
the Conductivity sensor is calibrated and is correctly immersed (see section 4.4). 

The solution must be stirred at a moderate rate. 

Allow the reading to stabilise. After a zero calibration, this may take up to 5 minutes.
