Specifications 2.2 General principle of operation Optical sensing of oxygen originates from the work of Kautsky in 1939 where he demonstrated that oxygen can dynamically quench the fluorescence of an indicator (decrease the quantum yield). This principle has been reported in various fields of application such as monitoring aquatic biology in waste water, tests for blood gas analysis and cell culture monitoring.
Specifications The oxygen partial pressure (pO ) is then linked to the corresponding phase-shift measurement ( to build the sensor calibration curve (shown right in Figure 3). This curve is described by the Stern-Volmer equation (shown left in Figure 3) where K is the indicator quenching constant (in mbar ) representing the quenching efficiency of the oxygen and thus the sensor sensitivity, f...

Section 3 Installation This section provides necessary information to install and connect the analyzer. The installation of the analyzer should be performed in accordance with relevant local regulations. DANGER Electrocution Hazard. Do not connect AC power to a 5 VDC powered model. WARNING Potential Electrocution Hazard.
The instrument and sensor should now be ready for operation. If a problem occurs, refer to Troubleshooting on page 95. If the difficulty cannot be overcome, please contact your Hach representative who will be happy to assist you.
Installation 3.3.2 Wall mounting Attach the U bracket provided to the wall with two screws (not provided). Tilt the instrument slightly backwards to align the bracket pins and the insertion slots, and slide the instrument onto the bracket as shown. Insert the 2 locking screws with washers through the side slots.
Installation 3.3.4 Connections (bottom of instrument) Cable protection shield The cable protection located at the bottom of the instrument (Figure 7 below) must be lowered, and eventually removed, to get access to the bottom of the instrument. Pull the plastic protection firmly towards you, then lower it as shown in Figure 8 below.
Installation 3.4.2 Mounting WARNING Electrocution hazard. If the cable and connector for the power supply are not accessible after installation, an accessible local disconnection means for the instrument power is mandatory. 1. Cut an opening in the panel to accommodate the bracket frame provided (this is the same size as previous generations of ORBISPHERE type 3600 instruments).
Installation Alternative instrument mounting procedure When it is not convenient to work from the back of the panel, the instrument can be connected before fitting in the panel. 1. Install the panel support frame in the panel opening 2. Slip the cables through the panel opening 3.
Installation 3.5 Connectors assembly instructions WARNING Potential Electrocution Hazard. In order to maintain the NEMA/IP environmental ratings of the enclosure, use only conduit fittings and cable glands rated for at least NEMA 4X/IP65 to route cables into the instrument. 3.5.1 Cable gland wiring instructions A waterproof cable gland is provided each time a cable must be connected inside the instrument.
Installation 3.6 Connection to mains power supply 3.6.1 Power supply connection (low voltage instruments) For low voltage instruments (10-30 VDC), connection to the mains power supply is with a 8-pin BINDER connector (supplied). Note: The connectors are grooved to avoid an incorrect fitting to the instrument. Connect the power cable to the connector as follows: Pin Connections: Figure 14 Wall mount BINDER connector...
Installation 3.6.2 Power supply connection (high voltage instruments) High voltage instruments (100-240 VAC) have a 4-pin male connector pre-wired internally with a male BINDER connector ready for mains connection. A compatible female connector is supplied with the instrument. If this female connector was supplied with a mains power plug already pre-attached (cable part numbers 33031, 33032, 33033 and 33034) then the female connector can be plugged directly into the instrument power connector.
Page 31
Installation Wire the female connector as follows: 1. Take the narrow end of the connector (4) in one hand and the main body (2) in the other and unscrew the two. Pull away the cable clamp (3) and unscrew the end plug (1) to reveal the four parts that make up the connector.
Installation 3.7 Connections to electronic boards NOTICE Potential Instrument Damage. Delicate internal electronic components can be damaged by static electricity, resulting in degraded performance or eventual failure. Note: Any loose connection wires should be bundled tightly together with the use of nylon cable ties. 3.7.1 Electronic boards connectors Connectors P8 on the main board (Figure...

Installation 3.9.4 Sensor removal If not using the ORBISPHERE 32003 insertion/extraction valve (refer to The 32003 • insertion/extraction valve on page 35) you will need to shut off the sample flow and drain the sampling circuit of liquid. Remove the sensor cable connected at the sensor end. •...
Installation 3.9.6 The 32003 insertion/extraction valve The ORBISPHERE 32003 insertion/extraction valve (illustrated below) allows for sensor removal and installation without having to drain the fluid in the line. It can withstand a pressure of up to 20 bars, with the sensor in place or not. Sensor insertion is made by inserting the sensor into the housing and tightening the retaining collar until it stops.
Installation 3.9.9 Instrument connections The sensor is supplied with a cable having a LEMO connector at both ends. One end is attached to the sensor and the other to the instrument. A red dot can be seen on each LEMO connector and on both the sensor and instrument sockets.
Installation 3.10.2 ORBISPHERE flow chambers Note: This is the recommended option for the K1200 sensors. The ORBISPHERE flow chambers are used to draw the calibration sample past the sensor. They connect to 6-mm or ¼" stainless steel tubing by means of two Swagelok fittings. If necessary, copper or plastic tubing with low permeability can be substituted.

This was performed at factory, output but could become necessary again because of electronic tolerances. A precision amperometer connected at the corresponding analog output connection point is required.
Inputs/Outputs Menu 8.5 Analog output characteristics Analog output characteristics The "Linear" output is the default setting for the analog output. It is “Linear” analog output illustrated below (4-20 mA output is shown, 0-20 mA settings are similar). The goal of this setting is to use all the points available on the slope from 4 mA to 20 mA to show the range of measurements that are usual in the measured process.
Page 67
Inputs/Outputs Menu Analog output characteristics (continued) The "Tri-linear" output brings benefits over the “Linear output” discussed “Tri-linear” analog before. It is illustrated below (4-20 mA output is shown, 0-20 mA settings are output similar). Compared to the “Linear” mode, the expected range of measure is Range 2. A Range 1 and 3 are available to show the measures falling out of this Range 2, but normally at a lower resolution.
