SENSORS
When you open up your new K‐22D sensors, they will have a millivolt reading between 9 and 13 millivolts. As long as
they are in that range, they are safe to use.
*WARNING: You also need to ensure that they can be calibrated in Oxygen and that they
read correctly in air. This is very important. Even if a sensor is reading in the proper range,
as it ages you may no longer be able to calibrate it properly. Sensors should not be used for
more than 1 year.
***IF THIS HAPPENS, THE SENSOR MUST BE DISCARDED. FAILURE TO USE A PROPER SEN‐
SOR WILL CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!!!!!!!!!!
In diving applica ons the sensor will last 1 year, depending on how o en you dive and how they are stored. Sensors
should be allowed to dry out a er your day of diving, especially if you are diving in a humid environment. This means
that you need to leave the loop hoses or scrubber canister off overnight to allow air to circulate through the scrubber
head. Leaving the unit sealed up will not allow the condensa on to evaporate.
***If the KISS OS has moisture in the head from diving or from being in a humid environ‐
ment, and it is then sealed up ght, the wires from the end of the display will start to cor‐
rode!!!! If this happens, whatever display or computer you are using, will not work proper‐
ly!!!! It is extremely important that the head is allowed to dry out if the unit is to be sealed
up. This means that a er a dive trip, don’t just drop the unit on your work bench and walk
away from it!!! At the very least, drop the canister’s off and let the head’s dry. This will help
keep your wires in good working order.
Sea water on the sensors will probably cause them to fail.
As your sensors start to age you will no ce that they are harder to calibrate, slower to react and will dri more a er
calibra on.
Electrolyte, which is a gel like substance is inside the sensors. If you no ce this substance leaking out of the sensors, do
not touch it as it is caus c. Do not dive with a leaking sensor. The readings will be high!!!!
