Safety Safety This operating manual contains basic instructions that you must follow during the commissioning, operation and maintenance of the probe. Consequently, all responsible personnel must read this operating manual before working with the probe. The operating manual must always be available within the vicinity of the probe.
ECHNICAL DATA The temperature specified for using the probe (chapter 7 ) has to be observed. Protect your probe ECHNICAL DATA especially against frost or overheating. Caution The probe is only allowed to be opened by personnel authorized by WTW.

Safety Safe operation If safe operation is no longer possible, the probe must be taken out of service and secured against inadvertent operation! Safe operation is no longer possible if the probe has been damaged in transport has been stored under adverse conditions for a lengthy ...
Commissioning Commissioning Scope of delivery ® TriOxmatic 701 with accessory kit ZBK 25 (with 1.5 m cable length: protection ring for the G1 thread included) The probes are filled with electrolyte and are equipped with a protection hood and a protection cap. Commissioning / Readiness for measuring 1 Connect the probe to the measuring instrument.
Commissioning Measuring Provide the necessary minimum flow (see chapter 7 ), e.g.: ECHNICAL DATA the flow velocity of the water is sufficient pull the probe slowly through the water by hand the turbulence in the activated sludge basin is sufficient. Exterior cleaning and function check The function check is the simplest way of letting you know whether the probe needs to be cleaned and calibrated.

Commissioning 5 Switch the measuring instrument to the % saturation operating mode. Read the measured value and determine whether it lies within the range of precision required by the user. Note If the measured value is within the accuracy tolerance required by the user it is not necessary to clean or recalibrate the probe.
Commissioning Function check in In the case of air temperatures under 5 °C do not perform air-saturated water the function check in air but in air-saturated water that has a higher temperature. You obtain air-saturated water by pouring water several times in and out of two vessels so that it sparkles.

Commissioning 2 Carefully clean the probe shaft and the membrane. Caution Clean the membrane very carefully! The membrane may be damaged by sharp-edged objects or when lying on stones. 3 Clean the protection hood as well.

Commissioning 4 Screw on the protection hood again. 5 Rinse the probe with clear tapwater. 6 Carefully dry the membrane using a lint-free paper towel. Wait at least 15 minutes for adjustment, then calibrate the probe.
Commissioning Note For calibrating the probe refer to the relevant operating manual of the industrial monitor. Note Maintenance of the probe is required (see chapter 4 ) if: AINTENANCE CLEANING DISPOSAL SPARE PARTS the membrane is damaged or the probe cannot be calibrated anymore (Leakage or Sens Reg display).

Maintenance, cleaning, disposal, spare parts 9 Screw the WP 25 membrane head on the shaft. Hold the probe inclined. Excess electrolyte solution is pressed out at the vent. Vent (upper part) 10 The filling should be free of air bubbles. Small air bubbles do not interfere.
Page 24
Maintenance, cleaning, disposal, spare parts 11 Refill only in case of: – Big air bubbles – Air bubbles at the gold cathode – Measuring with high water pressure – Probe cannot be calibrated or is sensitive to knocking. Note After being connected to the instrument for approx. 60 minutes the probe is ready for operation, then it is essential to recalibrate the probe.
Maintenance, cleaning, disposal, spare parts Cleaning the electrodes Note Counter electrode and reference electrodes always show a coloring. This is necessary for the operation of the probe. It is not a contamination. Cleaning is only required if the slope is too high or too low (the probe cannot be calibrated), and if this cannot be remedied by replacing the membrane head and the electrolyte solution.

Maintenance, cleaning, disposal, spare parts 6 Connect the probe to the measuring instrument again. The probe is ready to operate after being connected to the instrument for approx. 60 minutes. Note After each refilling, it is essential to recalibrate the probe. Recommendation: For precision measurements, calibrate the probe the following day once again.
Maintenance, cleaning, disposal, spare parts Checking whether the probe is zero current free The probe is zero current free. Therefore, it is not possible to calibrate the probe in air free of oxygen. It is possible, however, to check whether the probe is zero current free according to DIN EN 25814/ISO 5814.
