6 | Bases for measurement DO40-5 6 Bases for measurement 6.1 Oxygen sensor 6.1.1 Explanation The oxygen sensor is an active sensor. It consists of a platinum cathode, a lead anode and potassium hydroxide (KOH) as an electrolyte. If oxygen is present, it is reduced on the platinum cathode and the sensor delivers a signal.
DO40-5 Bases for measurement | 6 6.1.2 Design Refill opening Shaft Membrane head Platinum electrode Storage bottle Platinum electrode If oxygen is present, it is reduced on the platinum electrode and the sensor delivers a signal. Soiling on the platinum electrode or between the membrane and electrode can influence the measurement.
6 | Bases for measurement DO40-5 – Mechanical stress of the sensor membrane – Storage in dry air – Continuous use in elevated carbon dioxide concentrations 6.1.4 Operating position The oxygen sensor should be arranged vertically upwards with the connecting cable.
DO40-5 Bases for measurement | 6 ter; the value is 0. A salinity of approx. 35 PSU is normal for sea water. The salinity correction is adjusted to aqueous media having a chemical composition corresponding to sea water. The International Oceanographic Tables (IOT) are used as a basis for the correction.

Slowly fill the sensor via the fill opening. In the process, tilt the sensor from side to side and tap the shaft to force out air bubbles.
DO40-5 Maintenance | 7 7 Maintenance 7.1 Operating and maintenance notices NOTE If the product is stored at a temperature above 50 °C, or is not used for an extended period of time, the batteries must be removed. Leaks from the batteries are avoided as a result.
