Accordingly, the original manufacturer is released from his liability for any modifications made without express written consent. 2 ... -
Page 4: Warning Symbols
Warning Symbols Warnings used throughout this document can be classified according to the extent of a hazardous situation. The classification is based on an assumption as to how probable the occurrence of a hazardous situation is and what consequences are associated with it. There are four classes of warnings. DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor injury. CAUTION indicates a situation which, if not avoided, may result in machinery damage. This symbol draws your attention to important, useful and helpful information. 3 ... -
Page 5: Introduction
Introduction The TecPen Handheld 0‐5% Oxygen Sensor is designed to provide fast, accurate measurements of oxygen content in closed or pierceable containers. It uses an optical gas sensor with LED display as well as Bluetooth and USB connectivity. This makes it an excellent tool for: Food packaging in protective gas atmosphere (MAP packaging) Headspace of vials, cell breeding vessels, infusion containers, syringes Micro‐bioreactor systems Package Contents Quantity Item Part number 1 TecPen 1 Belt Bag 2 Particulate Filters Ts R1 Hh 001 2 Cannula 25/0.8 TS R1 HH 008 1 USB Cable TS R1 HH 003 1 USB Protection Cover TS R1 HH 004 1 USB Flash Drive 1 Instruction Manual 12 Septum ... -

Page 7: Operation
Operation Operating Principle The principle of opto‐chemical oxygen detection using TecPen is based on the change in emission of fluorescent radiation from the fluorescent dye depending on the oxygen concentration. The dye is excited and the resulting fluorescence event is absorbed. The duration of this fluorescence event ‐ the so‐called lifetime ‐ depends on the amount of adsorbed oxygen in the sensor layer and can therefore be used to determine the oxygen concentration. Before You Begin Before taking a measurement, the hose and filter must be attached to the instrument to prevent contamination of the gas chamber. To do this, place the hose on the gas inlet (8) and fasten the filter on the other side of the hose. The cannula is then placed on the front of the filter. Watch Your Step! The back of the filter has a luer lock closure. This must be turned into the intended connection of the hose for proper installation. Mount the cannula with the protective cap on to avoid risk of injury. Turning the TecPen On Press the On/Off button to turn on the unit. The TecPen shows the battery status and an oxygen value of 0.00%. This is a placeholder and not an actual measurement result. The unit can be switched off by pressing the On/Off button for at least two seconds. Taking a Measurement The cannula is used to puncture the packaging to be measured. After inserting the cannula briefly press the start button to to take a measurement. The measurement is automatically terminated after 10 seconds. If the measuring time needs to be extended after the first measurement has been completed press the start button again. Watch your After the final measurement is completed put the protective cap on the cannula to avoid injury. Turning the TecPen Off The unit can be switched off by pressing the On/Off button for at least two seconds. 6 ... -
Page 8: Saving Data
1. Press the On/Off button to turn on the unit. 2. Hold the memory button for 2 seconds to access the menu. 3. Press the memory button to switch to the date and time screen. 4. Tap the memory button to scroll down or the start button to scroll up to select a recipe. 5. Press the memory button for 2 seconds to confirm and save the setting. 6. The screen automatically switches to the desired measuring mode. You can now press the start button to to take a measurement and the memory key to save a data point as normal. Exporting Saved Data All data files can be exported via USB: 1. Connect the TecPen to a PC using the supplied USB cable. 2. Copy the files from the TecPen using your PC’s file manager. 3. Remove the TecPen USB device following the operating system instructions. Watch Your S tep! Before unplugging the USB cable the TecPen must be ejected properly like any other standard USB device to avoid damaging the TecPen’s internal file system. If the TecPen is unplugged from the USB port without first selecting the “Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media” option all data still on the device will be irretrievably lost. 7 ... -

Hold the memory button for 2 seconds to access the menu. 2. Press the memory button to switch to the View Device Status screen. 3. Press the memory button for 2 seconds to confirm and save the setting. Calibration The TecPen uses pure nitrogen gas for zero point calibration. 1. In order to adjust the zero point, a gas volume with overflow must be pierced and the TecPen purged with nitrogen. 2. Press and hold the start button and the memory button are alternately until the pump is activated 3. A screen will appear with the text "Recalibration 0%?" followed by "NO". 4. Briefly press the start button to switch between "YES" and "NO". 5. If "NO" is selected, the operation is aborted by pressing and holding the memory key . 6. If "YES" is selected, let the unit calibrate for at least 5 minutes. 7. Press and hold the memory key to confirm. ... -

Watch your step! Calibration may only be carried out with class 5.0 or purer nitrogen or the quality of the oxygen measurement results cannot be g uaranteed. Watch your step! After zero‐point calibration the original calibration values are overwritten. If the calibration has not been carried out correctly, the original values can only be restored by CO2Meter support. While calibration can be carried out by the user, adjusting the zero‐point may only be carried out by CO2Meter Service.
