Page 5: Introduction
Pico-O2-SUB | Manual INTRODUCTION The Pico-O2-SUB (Item No. PICO-O2-SUB) is an OEM solution for fiber-optic oxygen measurements under water. It is designed for integration into custom-made underwater housings. The Pico-O2-SUB consists of three parts: Our standard Pico-O2 OEM (Pico-O2) module, a pressure stable optical connector (SubPort) for connecting optical sensors and an adapter. - Page 6 Windows PC (see chapter 4). Option 3: A simplified custom integration of the module can be realized by adjusting the settings and performing sensor calibrations using the PyroScience software Pyro Workbench or Pyro Developer Tool (requires the encoded USB interface cable PICO-USB).

Page 7: Overview
Pico-O2-SUB | Manual OVERVIEW Figure 2 provides an overview of the Pico-O2. The front provides the port for connecting an optical fiber used for read-out of optical oxygen sensors, as well as solder points for an external temperature sensor enabling automatic temperature compensation. -
Page 8: Optical Port For O2 Sensors
Pressure tests of the whole assembly prior to deployment are strongly advised. Optical port for O2 sensors The Pico-O2-SUB is compatible with special Pyro Science fiber-optic sensors for underwater applications designated by the appendix ‘-SUB’ in the item number. An index matching liquid inside the connector enhances the sensor signals. -
Page 9: External Temperature Sensor
Pico-O2-SUB | Manual Figure 4 Connecting sensors to the SUB port For more detailed information on handling, maintenance, calibration and measurements of the oxygen sensors, information on calibration, please refer to the oxygen sensor manual for more information. External temperature sensor The signal of oxygen sensors is temperature dependent, which can be automatically compensated. -
Page 10: Status Led
Pico-O2-SUB | Manual The Pt100 temperature sensor has to be soldered to the 4 solder pads at the front of the module (Figure 5). For short distances (e.g. 10 cm) a simple 2-wire connection might be sufficient. For this, it is important to shortcut the outer with the inner solder pads as indicated in Figure 4. -
Page 11: Usb Interface Cable
For the operation of Pico-O2 with a Windows PC, a coded USB interface cable (item no. PICO-USB) is available from PyroScience.
