Switching on the measuring instrument

Note The measuring instrument has an energy saving feature to avoid un- necessary battery depletion. The energy saving feature switches the measuring instrument off if no key has been pressed for an hour. The energy saving feature is not active when the AutoStore function is ac- tive. The energy saving feature is also not active � if the power is supplied by the plug-in power supply, � if the communication cable and a PC with a running communication program are connected, � if the recorder cable is connected, � if the printer cable is connected (for external printers). 1 Connect the D. O. sensor to the measuring instrument. 2 Press the key. The display test appears briefly on the display. The relative slope for the sensor type that was just connected subsequently appears for approx. one second. The measuring instrument then automatically switches to the measuring mode that was last selected. The display shows the relevant measured value.

You can measure the following variables:

� D. O. concentration � D. O. saturation The measuring instrument is supplied with the following functions: � AutoRange (automatic switchover of the measurement range). If a measuring range is exceeded, AutoRange causes the measuring in- strument to change automatically to the next higher measuring range and back again. Therefore, the instrument always measures in the measuring range with the highest possible resolution. The function can be switched off. � The AutoRead function (drift control) for checking the stability of the measurement signal. This ensures the reproducibility of the measur- ing signal. For details of how to switch the AutoRead function on/off, see page 19. Preparatory activities Perform the following preparatory activities when you want to measure: Note Incorrect calibration of D. O. sensors will result in incorrect measured values. Calibrate at regular intervals. Note The measuring instrument automatically recognizes the type of the D. O. sensor (CellOx 325 or DurOx 325). Temperature sensor The D. O. sensor has an integrated temperature sensor that always measures the current temperature of the test sample. Warning When connecting an earthed PC/printer, measurements cannot be per- formed in earthed media as incorrect values would result. The RS232 interface is not galvanically isolated. 1 Connect the D. O. sensor to the measuring instrument (see section 1.3 SOCKET FIELD). 2 Calibrate or check the measuring instrument with the D. O. sensor. How to calibrate is described in section 4.3. 3 Select the measuring mode with .

Measuring the D. O. concentration

Note When measuring the concentration of test samples with a salt content of more than 1 g/l, a salinity correction is required. For this, you have to measure and input the salinity of the measured medium first. This is de- scribed in section 4.3.3 on page 27. Switching the salt content correction on or off, see below. To measure the D. O. concentration with and without salt content cor- rection, proceed as follows: Switching on/off the salt content correction Proceed as follows to switch on the salt content correction: 1 Perform the preparatory activities according to section 4.2.1. 2 Immerse the D.

D. O. sensors age. This changes the slope of the D. O. sensor. Calibra-

tion determines the current slope of the sensor and stores this value in the instrument. Thus, you should calibrate at regular intervals. Calibration data records The Oxi 197i administrates two sets of calibration data: Sensors of different classes can be calibrated separately. When a sen- sor of one class is calibrated the calibration data of the other class re- main stored. The Oxi 197i recognizes the class of the connected sensor and automatically uses the correct calibration data. Calibration procedures The Oxi 197i provides 2 calibration procedures: � Calibration in water vapor-saturated air. To calibrate the CellOx 325, use theOxiCal®-SL air calibration ves- sel (accessory), to calibrate the DurOx 325, use the OxiCal®-D air calibration vessel (contained in the scope of delivery of the sensor). � Calibration via a comparison measurement (e. g. Winkler titration according to DIN EN 25813 or ISO 5813). At the same time, the rel- ative slope is adapted to the comparison measurement by a correc- tion factor. When to calibrate? � After connecting another D. O. sensor � If the sensor symbol flashes, i. e. after the calibration interval has ex- pired Calibration interval The calibration interval (Int 3) is set to 14 days in the factory. You can select the interval in the range of 1 ... 999 days. AutoRead The calibration procedure automatically activates the AutoRead func- tion. Displaying calibration data Each time the instrument is switched on, the calibration data are shown on the display for a short time (see section 4.1 SWITCHING ON THE MEA- SURING INSTRUMENT). In order to view the calibration data, switch the measuring instrument off and switch it on again. � Set 1, for sensor class 1: – Oxygen depth armature – CellOx 325, or – StirrOx G � Set 2, for sensor class 2: – DurOx 325

The calibration protocol contains the calibration data of the current cal-

ibration. You can transmit the calibration protocol to a printer via the se- rial interface (see page 35). Note You can automatically print a calibration record after the calibration. To do so, connect a printer to the interface according to section 4.5.3 be- fore calibrating. After a valid calibration, the record is printed. Sample printout: Sensor evaluation After the calibration, the measuring instrument evaluates the current status of the sensor against the relative slope. The evaluation appears on the display. The relative slope has no effect on the measuring accu- racy. Low values indicate that the electrolyte will soon be depleted and the sensor will have to be regenerated.

You have the following possibilities of transmitting data:

� One of the following options: – With the AutoStore function (page 30), measured values are periodically saved internally (save interval Int 1) and output on the interface. – With the Data transmission interval function (Int 2), measured values are periodically output on the interface (see below). � With the Output data storage function (page 32), calibration data or saved measured values are output on the interface. � Via the analog recorder output (page 39), measured values are out- put as voltage values. � With the KOM pilot communication kit (accessory), data can be transmitted bidirectionally (page 40). Note If you connect a recorder (analog output), the output on the digital in- terface is switched off. 4.5.1 Data transmission interval (Int 2) The interval for the data transmission (Int 2) determines the chronolog- ical interval between automatic data transmissions. After the selected interval expires, the current data record is transmitted to the interface. Note When the AutoStore function is active, the data transmission is per- formed according to the setting of the save interval (Int 1). Set the save interval (Int 1) to OFF to activate the Data transmission interval (Int 2).

The default setting for the interval is OFF.

To manipulate a measuring system so that the relevant value (e. g. the

displayed value) differs as little as possible from the correct value or a value that is regarded as correct, or that the difference remains with- in the tolerance. Amperometry Name of a measuring technique. The signal (depending on the mea- sured parameter) of the sensor is the electric current. The electrical voltage remains constant. AutoRange Name of the automatic selection of the measuring range. AutoRead WTW name for a function to check the stability of the measured value. Calibration Comparing the value from a measuring system (e. g. the displayed value) to the correct value or a value that is regarded as correct. Of- ten, this expression is also used when the measuring system is adjust- ed at the same time (see adjusting). D. O. partial pressure Pressure caused by the oxygen in a gas mixture or liquid. Measured parameter The measured parameter is the physical dimension determined by measuring, e. g. pH, conductivity or D. O. concentration. Measured value The measured value is the special value of a measured parameter to be determined. It is given as a combination of the numerical value and unit (e. g. 3 m; 0.5 s; 5.2 A; 373.15 K). Measuring system The measuring system comprises all the devices used for measuring, e. g. measuring instrument and sensor. In addition, there is the cable and possibly an amplifier, terminal strip and armature. Molality Molality is the quantity (in Mol) of a dissolved substance in 1000 g sol- vent. OxiCal® WTW name for a procedure to calibrate D. O. measuring systems in water vapor saturated air. Oxygen saturation Short name for the relative D. O. saturation. Note: The D. O. saturation value of air-saturated water and the D. O. saturation value of oxygen-saturated water are different. Reset Restoring the original condition of all settings of a measuring system. Resolution Smallest difference between two measured values that can be dis- played by a measuring instrument.

The absolute salinity SA of seawater corresponds to the relationship

of the mass of dissolved salts to the mass of the solution (in g/Kg). In practice, this dimension cannot be measured directly. Therefore, the practical salinity is used for oceanographic monitoring. It is deter- mined by measuring the electrical conductivity. Salt content General designation for the quantity of salt dissolved in water. Sample Designation of the sample ready to be measured. Normally, a test sample is made by processing the original sample. The test sample and original sample are identical if the test sample was not processed. Slope The slope of a linear calibration function. Slope (relative) Designation used by WTW in the D. O. measuring technique. It ex- presses the relationship of the slope value to the value of a theoretical reference sensor of the same type of construction. Standard solution The standard solution is a solution where the measured value is known by definition. It is used to calibrate a measuring system.
