OX 4000 H Operation Switching on/off the Proceed as follows to switch on the salt content correction: salinity correction In the D.O. concentration mode, switch on the salinity correc- tion with <>. The SAL display indicator appears on the dis- play.
Operation OX 4000 H 5.2.4 Measuring the D.O. saturation You can measure the D. O. saturation as follows: Perform the preparatory activities according to section 5.2.2. Immerse the D. O. sensor in the test sample. Press the <MODE> repeatedly until the saturation in % appears on the display.
OX 4000 H Operation 5.2.5 D.O. calibration Why calibrate? D.O. sensors age. This changes the slope of the D.O. sensor. Calibra- tion determines the current slope of the sensor and stores this value in the instrument. After connecting another D.O. sensor When to calibrate? ...
Operation OX 4000 H Calibration in Proceed as follows to calibrate the instrument: water vapor saturated air Connect the D.O. sensor to the meter. (air calibration vessel) Put the D.O. sensor into the air calibration vessel. Note The sponge in the air calibration vessel must be moist (not wet). Leave the sensor in the air calibration vessel for a time long enough to adjust.
OX 4000 H Operation 5.2.7 Entering the salt content (salinity) A salt content correction is required in the D.O. concentration measure- ment of test samples with a salt content of more than 1 g/l. To do this, you have to enter the salinity equivalent (the measured salinity) of the test sample (range 0.0 - 35.0) and to switch on the salinity correction.
