Protective Wiring of Relay Contacts Protective Wiring of Relay Contacts Relay contacts are subject to electrical erosion. Especially with inductive and capac- itive loads, the service life of the contacts will be reduced. For suppression of sparks and arcing, components such as RC combinations, nonlinear resistors, series resistors and diodes should be used.

Configuring the Time/Date Time and Date Control of the calibration and cleaning cycles is based on the time and date of the integrated real-time clock. In measuring mode the time is shown in the lower display. When using digital sensors, the calibration data is written in the sensor head.
Calibration Calibration adapts the device to the individual sensor characteristics. For best performance, you should always calibrate in air. Compared to water, air is a calibration medium which is easy to handle, stable, and thus safe. In the most cases, however, the sensor must be removed for a calibration in air.
Oxy: Calibration Common Combination: Process Variable / Calibration Mode Measurement Calibration Application Saturation Water Biotechnology; sensor cannot be removed for calibration (sterility) Concentration Waters, open basins On the following pages, the calibration procedure for a slope calibration in air is described.

Default: 1.013 bar Enter cal pressure Unit: bar/kpa/PSI Press enter to proceed. Drift check: Display of: Device goes to HOLD Sensor current (nA)
Zero Calibration Flawless, amperometric oxygen sensors have a low zero current. Therefore, a zero calibration is only recommended for measurement of oxygen traces. When a zero calibration is performed, the sensor should remain for at least 10 to 30 minutes in the calibration medium (sulfite solution or nitrogen) in order to obtain stable, non-drifting values.

Product Calibration Calibration by Sampling (One-Point Calibration). During product calibration the sensor remains in the process. The measurement process is only interrupted briefly. Procedure: During sampling the currently measured value is stored in the device. The device immediately returns to measuring mode. The cal mode indicator blinks and reminds you that calibration has not been terminated.
