Maintenance and Storage
ODO Sensor Rehydration
To prevent sensor drift, always store the ODO sensor in a wet or
water-saturated air environment. If the ODO sensor has accidentally been
left dry for longer than 8 hours, it must be rehydrated.
If rehydration is necessary, soak the ODO sensor cap in warm (room
temperature) tap water for approximately 24 hours. After the soak,
calibrate the sensor (
Figure 71
).
ODO Sensor Short-Term Storage (Less Than 4 Weeks)
When in regular field use, the ODO sensor should remain installed on
the bulkhead. Place approximately 0.5 in (1 cm) of any water (tap or
environmental) in the calibration cup (
Figure 72
).
Install the calibration cup onto the bulkhead and firmly tighten to prevent
evaporation.
ODO Sensor Long-Term Storage
For ProDSS 4 port cable assemblies, the ODO sensor can be left on the
bulkhead or removed for long-term storage (
Figure 73
).
Installed on bulkhead
Fill the calibration cup with clean water (use distilled or deionized water if
a pH sensor is not installed). Submerge the sensor in the calibration cup
then firmly tighten to prevent evaporation.
Removed from bulkhead
Remove the sensor from the bulkhead (
).
Method 1:
Cover the sensor connector end with the plastic storage cap.
Submerge the sensing end of the sensor in a container of
clean water (use distilled or deionized water if a pH sensor is
not installed). Periodically check the level of the water to make
sure that it does not evaporate.
Method 2:
Wet the sponge located in the cap originally included with the
ODO sensor, then install on sensing end of the ODO sensor.
Replace the sponge if it becomes dirty.
