Oxi 315i Safety Safety This operating manual contains basic instructions that you must follow during the commissioning, operation and maintenance of the measur- ing instrument. Consequently, all responsible personnel must read this operating manual carefully before working with the measuring system.
Safety Oxi 315i General safety instructions This instrument is built and inspected according to the relevant guide- lines and norms for electronic measuring instruments (see chapter 7 ECHNICAL DATA It left the factory in a safe and secure technical condition.
Oxi 315i Commissioning Commissioning l Handheld meter, Oxi 315i Scope of delivery l Operating manual and short operating manual l 4 batteries, 1.5 V Mignon type AA (in the instrument) For details of scope of delivery of SETs, see chapter 1.1 SET S OF and WTW catalog.
Only connect sensors to the measuring instrument that cannot return any voltages or currents that are not allowed (> SELV and > current cir- cuit with current limiting). Almost all sensors - in particular WTW sen- sors - fulfill these conditions.
Operation Oxi 315i Measuring You can measure the following parameters: l D. O. concentration l Oxygen saturation l Oxygen partial pressure The Oxi meter is supplied with the following functions: l AutoRange (automatic switchover of the measurement range), l The AutoRead function (drift control) for checking the stability of the measurement signal.
Oxi 315i Operation 4.2.1 Measuring the D. O. concentration Note A fixed salt content correction value of 30.0 is provided. How to switch it on or off is described below. You can measure the oxygen content without a salt content correction as follows: Perform the preparatory activities according to section 4.2.
Operation Oxi 315i 4.2.2 Measuring the D. O. saturation You can measure the D. O. saturation as follows: Perform the preparatory activities according to section 4.2 Press the <M> key repeatedly until the saturation in % appears on the display.
Oxi 315i Operation 4.2.4 Selecting the measuring range, AutoRange Sensors You can use the DurOx or CellOx325 sensors. If the automatic recog- nition function recognizes the DurOx sensor, the measurement is car- ried out at a lower resolution. The CellOx325 sensor measures with a resolution that is a factor of 10 higher.
Operation Oxi 315i 4.2.5 AutoRead AR (Drift control) The AutoRead (drift control) function checks the stability of the mea- surement signal. The stability has a considerable effect on the repro- ducibility of the measured value. Select the measuring mode with <M>.
Thus, you should calibrate at regular intervals. Separate calibration of The Oxi 315i handheld meter enables the two sensor types, CellOx 325 CellOx 325 and and DurOx 325, to be calibrated separately from one another. The cal- DurOx 325 ibration of a specific sensor type does not affect the calibration of any other type of sensor.
Operation Oxi 315i 4.3.1 Starting the calibration Proceed as follows to calibrate the instrument: Connect the D. O. probe to the measuring instrument. ® Keep the OxiCal -SL air calibration vessel ready. Note The sponge in the air calibration vessel must be moist (not wet). Follow ®...

Maintenance, cleaning, disposal Oxi 315i Note For the maintenance of the sensors, follow the corresponding operating manual. Cleaning Occasionally wipe the outside of the measuring instrument with a damp, lint-free cloth. Disinfect the housing with isopropanol as re- quired. Warning The housing is made of a synthetic material (ABS).

AutoRange Name of the automatic selection of the measuring range. AutoRead WTW name for a function to check the stability of the measured value. Calibration Comparing the value from a measuring system (e. g. the displayed value) to the correct value or a value that is regarded as correct. Of- ten, this expression is also used when the measuring system is adjust- ed at the same time (see adjusting).
