    NEON_OPTOD 5.3 DESCRIPTION OF STAINLESS STEEL AND TITANIUM OPTOD SENSOR. The OPTOD dissolved oxygen sensor uses luminescence-based optical measurement technology and measures reliably and accurately. Without consumables or maintenance, the OPTOD sensor provides an immediate return on investment. The only action required is the replacement of the oxygen active pellet every two years. Since it does not consume oxygen, the OPTOD sensor can be used on all types of media even when low water flow is very low.

To return to the previous screen press the ESC key.  GAIN only calibration: For the OPTOD sensor, the gain alone can be set by adjusting to 100% the air saturated with water vapor. In theory this state can be achieved by placing the sensor in water-saturated air (for example directly above a water surface) or according to the illustration below: Fill the bottom of a vial with water and put the sensor just above the water.

    NEON_OPTOD Having first cleaned the sensor (see ) it is immersed in a water-sulphite solution (concentration of Cleaning section 8.1 sulphite <2% by weight, 2 g max. in 100 ml of water) to determine the zero point (saturation 0%). Mix the solution using the sensor to decrease oxygen saturation faster (oxygen attached to the DODISK must be consumed).
