1. Introduction The CS511 is a rugged, low-maintenance sensor that is manufactured by Sensorex. It consists of a self-polarizing galvanic cell that generates a millivolt signal proportional to the amount of oxygen present in the measured medium (typically water). NOTE: This manual provides information only for CRBasic data loggers.
1. Open Short Cut and click Create New Program. 2. Double-click the data logger model. 3. In the Available Sensors and Devices box, type CS511 or locate the sensor in the Sensors > Water > Quality folder. Double click on the CS511 Dissolved Oxygen Probe. The default calibration value of 0.34 is based on an average.

4. Click on the Wiring tab to see how the sensor is to be wired to the data logger. Click OK after wiring the sensor. 5. In Output Setup, type the scan rate, meaningful table names, and Data Output Storage Interval. Click Next. CS511 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor...
5. Overview The CS511 is a galvanic sensor, which produces a millivolt signal proportional to the amount of oxygen present in the measured medium. Oxygen diffuses through the membrane onto the cathode, reacts chemically, and combines with the anode. An electrical current is produced by this chemical reaction which is converted from microamps to millivolts by an in-line resistor.

2. Inspect the membrane for wrinkles. Replace membrane if wrinkled. See Maintenance(p.10). 3. Pour clean water into the lower body and look for leakage around the membrane. Dispose of the water, and if there is leakage, replace membrane. See Maintenance(p.10). Figure 7-2. Check for leakage CS511 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor...
7.2 Wiring Data logger connection is provided in following table. The CS511 can use one differential terminal or one single-ended terminal. Differential wiring is better at rejecting electrical noise and ground loop error.
2. Connect the CS511 to the data logger. 3. If the CS511 has been deployed in the field, gently wipe the membrane with a soft cloth. 4. Place the CS511 in air away from direct sunlight with the membrane facing upward.
Refer to www.campbellsci.com/order/cs511-l for more information. The CS511 uses a strong, easy-to-clean, and easy-to-change membrane in a screw-on membrane cap. The sensor can be fully overhauled in five minutes. Cleaning sensor and replacing membrane procedure: 1. Unscrew the lower body from the upper body. See Figure 7-1 (p.

Place the washer on top of the membrane. e. Using the membrane tool, install the membrane lock on top of the washer. CAUTION: Make sure the cap is upright (not sideways) when securing the membrane lock to the washer. CS511 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor...
