The oxygen sensor zero is not calibrated since it is fundamentally stable.
Ambient (non-process) air with a constant oxygen content (e.g. 20.96 Vol.-%) is
required for span calibration. Synthetic air can also be used.
The oxygen sensor and associated analyzer module are calibrated simultaneously
during automatic and externally controlled calibration.
Therefore when the oxygen sensor is to be calibrated with the following analyzer
modules
• Magnos206 with single-point calibration
• Limas11 with calibration unit
• Uras26 with calibration units
the zero gas should contain the required concentration of oxygen.
In all other cases the span gas should contain the required concentration of
oxygen.
The design of the external control of calibration should take into consideration
that the oxygen sensor's span value is stable only after a waiting period of
≥ 40 seconds.
The oxygen sensor is always calibrated at the same time as the associated
analyzer module. Therefore, calibration should begin only after this module's warm-
up phase.
