OxyTechw² GAL Instruction Manual 1 Foreword The OxyTechw² Sensor has been specifically designed for use with the 7300w² Monitor. The OxyTechw² GAL Sensor has been designed to provide highly reliable Dissolved Oxygen measurements and employs the traditional galvanic principle. The rugged 100 micron, HDPE membrane has been selected to provide exceptional resistance to damage.
Training in the use of the 7300w² Monitor and sensors can be provided, please contact Partech for further information. Icons have been used throughout this manual to draw your attention to precautions and useful notes.
Maintenance instructions for the OxyTechw² Sensor should be carried out as specified in this instruction manual. Failure to carry out regular maintenance could invalidate the Warranty. Services and repairs must be carried out by a Partech engineer. Partech can provide a service contract for your system. Please ask for details.
Any calibration solutions should be disposed of as described in the Manufacture Safety Data Sheet accompanied with the calibration solution. Partech can provide recycling and disposal of your old Partech equipment, and may also provide the same service for other manufactures equipment when replaced with Partech equipment.
Whilst every attempt has been made to ensure that these instructions are correct, common sense and good engineering practice should always be used, as every installation can present a new set of challenges and difficulties. If you are in any doubt please contact Partech or your local distributor for further information. 4.1 Sensor Overview The OxyTechw²...
Mounting Options Partech offer a range of mounting brackets for the installation of the OxyTechw² Sensor, which will allow the user to apply the sensor in a wide variety of locations. Drawings of the brackets are shown in the relevant “Optional Accessories”...
OxyTechw² GAL Instruction Manual 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3.0 metre lengths. Whilst other lengths can be provided as special orders, generally standard lengths will satisfy most requirements. It should be noted that sensors with long mounting shafts are difficult to move safely and can present problems with calibration and maintenance, shaft lengths should be kept to a minimum where possible.
When routing the sensor cables, please ensure the cable is separated from any mains cables. Although the Partech w² sensors have a high resistance to interference, separation of mains and data cables is good practice and should always be followed where practical.
Sensors are usually supplied with 10M cables (longer cables can be provided if requested). These cables can be extended to a maximum length of 100M. To ensure optimum performance, only use Partech ModTechw² cable for extensions. Partech can supply junction boxes to allow for cable extensions. These should be used on all installations where the cable length from the sensor to the monitor exceeds 20M (Partech Junction boxes include on-board filtering for long cable lengths).
OxyTechw² GAL Instruction Manual Sensor Configuration M:01 %SAT 87.4 Before attempting to configure the sensor, please read the monitor user manual that came with your monitor. The monitor manual will introduce you to the basic set-up of the monitor, and will familiarise you with the monitor menu structure and buttons.
7.4.1 S:0x Info CONFIG This function provides a range of diagnostic information that may be S:01 Info requested by Partech for fault finding. S:01 Remove S:01 Modbus Address 7.4.2 S:0x Remove This allows the sensor to be removed for re-configuration of the monitor or if a sensor has been added in error.
OxyTechw² GAL Instruction Manual 8 Measurement Configuration The monitor leaves the factory without any measurements configured. Measurements will only be available after installing the relevant sensor(s). Once the sensor(s) have been registered with the monitor and installed, the measurements will now be available.

OxyTechw² GAL Instruction Manual Calibration and Testing 9.1 Temperature 9.1.1 Overview As already mentioned the OxyTech2² GAL sensor has two integral temperature measurements. The first measurement is not displayed and is used solely to compensate for temperature fluctuations in the measurement solution across the membrane.
OxyTechw² GAL Instruction Manual 7. The “SET CAL” screen will be displayed. Using the arrow keys set M:03 SET CAL (25.0 ºC) the temperature value the same as is displayed on your temperature reference tool. Press to accept. The Calibration screen will now 25.0 ºC be displayed.
OxyTechw² GAL Instruction Manual 4. Select “SET CAL (0.0 %SAT)” by pressing press . NOTE: If this option is not displayed then SERVICE MODE is not set. ('SM' is displayed on the top left of the screen) 5. The sensor information screen will be displayed, press to accept.
OxyTechw² GAL Instruction Manual 10 Maintenance 10.1 General cleaning OxyTechw² Sensors must always be kept clean, particularly in the vicinity of the membrane. Any bio-film could lead to measurement errors. Regular inspection and cleaning is required to ensure the sensors works to the optimum performance. Cleaning frequency will depend on the sample being measured.
