CS511 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor Repeat step three for other sensors. In Output Setup, type the scan rate, meaningful table names, and the Data Output Storage Interval.
The sensor consists of two parts, an upper part with cathode, anode, and cable, and a lower part comprising of a screw-on membrane cap. The CS511 is shipped dry, but has a membrane installed in the cap. With the membrane in place, the cap must be filled with electrolyte solution before the cap is screwed onto the top component.
CS511 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor Installation If you are programming your datalogger with Short Cut, skip Section 7.3, , and Section 7.4, Programming . Short Cut Wiring to the Datalogger (p. 8) (p. 9) does this work for you. See Section 4, QuickStart , for a Short Cut tutorial.
CS511 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor Getting Sensor Ready to Use Unscrew the lower body from the upper body. Inspect the membrane for wrinkles. Replace membrane if wrinkled (see Section 8.1, Cleaning Sensor and Replacing Membrane (p. 11) Pour clean water into the lower body and look for leakage around the membrane.
Excess electrolyte will leak out at the joint between the sensor cap and upper body. Mount Sensor Mount the CS511 in water at a slight angle, which prevents bubbles from becoming trapped on the membrane. Wiring to the Datalogger Datalogger connection is provided in TABLE 7-1. The CS511 can use one differential terminal or one single-ended terminal.
(p. 9) Connect the CS511 to the datalogger (see wiring diagram generated by Short Cut or Section 7.3, Wiring to the Datalogger (p. 8) If the CS511 has been deployed in the field, gently wipe the membrane with a soft cloth.
CS511 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor Place the CS511 in air away from direct sunlight with the membrane facing upward. Place a drop of clean water on the membrane. Wait for readings to stabilize. This may take 15 minutes or more. Determine the air temperature and barometric pressure.
CS511 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor Cleaning Sensor and Replacing Membrane Unscrew the lower body from the upper body (FIGURE 8-1). FIGURE 8-1. Separate the lower body from the upper body Safely dispose of the electrolyte. Make sure the O-ring does not fall out of the cap.
CS511 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor To clean, immerse the top part of the sensor in distilled white vinegar (3% acetic acid) for about 30 minutes. If vinegar is unavailable, use a soft toothbrush, automatic dishwasher detergent, and clean water to clean the cathode, anode, and plastic without touching the center electrode.

CS511 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor Pour some clean water into the lower body and look for leakage around the membrane (FIGURE 8-6); replace membrane if there is leakage. If there is no leakage, dispose of the water. FIGURE 8-6. Check for leakage Pour fresh electrolyte into the bottom cap and fill to the top of the cap.
