Biological depos- its for example, consume oxygen and can, when occurring on the sensor membrane, impair the responding behavior and cause values that are too low.
® Maintenance, cleaning, replacement Note If the sensor cap is visibly damaged it has to be replaced. Checking the zero point of the sensor There are two methods to check the zero point of the sensor: Measurement in a nitrogen atmosphere (recommended method) Measurement in a sodium sulfite solution according to DIN EN 25814/ ISO 5814.
