    1. Press the Measure/Enter button to activate the sensor. 2. Press the Measure/Enter button for 2 seconds to start continuous measurements. 3. Press the Measure/Enter button for 2 seconds to stop continuous measurements. Tip: The sensor will store measurements not automatically. This can be changed. For further information see chapter 4.2.3 and 4.3.
  • Page 13: Settings

    4. Settings 4.1. Main menu The main menu can be entered by pressing the Menu/Exit button. The screen with the different setting options will be opened. The main menu consists of four submenus: <General settings>, <Logger settings>, <Sensor settings>, and <System info>. To navigate towards any menu, use the Up and Down buttons and enter a submenu with the Measure/Enter button.

    4.3. Logger settings (handheld/digital) With the logger function continuous measurements are performed and stored internally. Within the menu <Logger settings> the logger function can be turned on and off, the interval time of the measurements can be set, or the stored data erased. Use the Up and Down buttons to navigate to the desired submenu.
  • Page 16: Interval Time

    4.3.2. Interval time In this menu, the time interval between the measurements during logging can be changed. For the most applications, an interval time of 5 min or higher is sufficient. The interval time should be set before the first use of the sensor. 1.

    Whenever the probe is exchanged, the sensor must be recalibrated for this new probe. Remark: When you have more than one FluoMini Pro O |T Sensor, you cannot exchange the probes with each other without a new calibration. Ensure to always use the same probe for a FluoMini Pro O |T Sensor to guarantee reproducible measurements.
  • Page 20 For a 1-point calibration (incl. temperature calibration): 1. Expose the probe to 20.95 % O environment. 2. Use the Up and Down buttons to set the actual temperature. 3. Confirm the setting with the Measure/Enter button (Set). 4. Wait until the measured temperature on the display has stabilized and press the Measure/Enter button (Apply).

    8. Wait until the measured O value on the display has stabilized and press the Measure/Enter button (Set). 4.5.2. Enter Cal. data In this menu, you can manually add an offset and slope to the measured amount of O the temperature. These values will be set by the system automatically during the calibration (see chapter 4.5.1).
