4. Dissolved Oxygen Calibration
4.1 Calibration Procedure
1. Plug the Dissolved Oxygen sensor into the
Sensor
socket.
2. Switch the meter on.
3. Select the mode of your choice, as per section 3.
4. Ensure that temperature has already been calibrated (see section
NOTE
: A “
“ in place of the decimal point in the temperature readout
indicates that temperature is not calibrated.
5. Rinse the Dissolved Oxygen sensor in distilled water and blot dry.
6.
Zero Calibration
(a) Place the sensor into an oxygen-free solution. This solution may
be prepared by dissolving 2g of Sodium Sulphite in 100mL of
distilled water. A 50g bottle of Sodium Sulphite powder is
supplied with a new ED1 sensor for this purpose (part number
123302).
(b) Allow the reading to stabilise at or near zero. This may take 2-3
minutes.
(c) Select Oxygen Calibration. (
F1:Cal.
F1:Oxy
)
(d) Press the
key to calibrate.
(e)
A “
” will not be removed from the display after a Zero
Calibration.
7. Rinse the Dissolved Oxygen sensor in distilled water and blot dry.
8.
Air Calibration
(a) Hang the Dissolved Oxygen sensor in air. The tip of the sensor
should be pointing downwards.
(b) Allow the reading to stabilise. After a zero calibration, this may
take up to 5 minutes.
(c) Select Oxygen Calibration. (
F1:Cal.
F1:Oxy
)
(d) Press the
key to calibrate.
(e)
A “
” in the display will be replaced by a decimal point after a
successful air calibration.
9. The
WP-82Y
is now calibrated and is ready for use.
