offset calibration

2
NOTE! Only valid for devices with an Electro-chemical (EC) O
An electrochemical (EC) sensor is a wearing part as the chemistry inside wears proportionally
to the amount of O
We therefore recommend that you perform daily offset (20.9%) calibrations before starting
measurements.
See "Offset (20,9%) calibration" on page 46
NOTE! As a minimum a weekly offset calibration is required to ensure correct
measuring results!
NOTE! If device is used entirely at very high O
lifetime will be reduced proportionally. At O
lifetime is approximately
9 months.

sensor temperature sensitivity

NOTE! Only valid for devices with an Electro-chemical (EC) O
Due to the sensor design the readout will be affected when moving the device from cold to
warm temperatures or vice versa. Normally for compensation to work properly the device
must be stabilized at the current ambient temperature for some time (up to 1-2 hours)
However if you cannot wait for this time, use short stabilizing time, for example 10-15 min.,
and perform an offset (20.9%) calibration of the O
series until device has stabilized. This will bring the calibration back in line with current
response.
NOTE! When entering another ambient temperature area, the device must again be
offset calibrated before use to ensure proper accuracy.
The sensor is also slower in response in cold environments so for better accuracy you should
measure the values twice and skip first measurement (though the first measurement will
comply with T
particular measurements.
