Type C, 3-electrodes system, InPro 6900 (i)
InPro 6900 and InPro 6900 i. For oxygen measure-
ments in the lower ppb range. Here, the anode
and reference are united in a silver / silver chloride
electrode (as with type A). The sensors are equipped
with an additional guard ring around the cathode.
Like the cathode with the anode, this forms a closed
electric circuit, which prevents that oxygen diffuses
from the side to the cathode and falsifies the mea-
surement result.
Measurement
liquid or gas
In all sensors the function of the cathode is identical.
Between cathode and reference a constant voltage
of – 500 resp. – 675 mV (polarization voltage) is
applied. Thereby a reduction of O
cathode takes place.
