components (e.g. carbon dioxide during measure-
ments in breweries): – 500 mV

Calibration

5.2.1 Purpose of calibration

Each oxygen sensor has its own individual slope and
own individual zero point. Both values are subject
to change, for example, through electrolyte consump-
tion or after exchange of electrolyte or membrane
body. To ensure high measurement accuracy of
the sensor, a calibration must be carried out after
each change of electrolyte or membrane. Prior to
calibration, the sensor has to be polarized for at least
6 hours.
Please remove the watering cap from the sensor,
rinse the sensor with water and dry it for at least
10 minutes before starting calibration.

To check if your sensor needs a recalibration, you
may dry it and take it in the air to check that the
reading is close to 100 %. If not, then the sensor
needs a new calibration.

5.2.2 What you have to know for calibration

Calibration is generally carried out at the polarization
voltage at which measurements are taken.
Zero-point calibration is recommended:
– when measuring less than 5 ppb in liquids
– w hen measuring less than 125 ppm (by vol.) in
gases

General remarks:
– F or calibration in air, the sensor membrane
must be dry, since adhering water drops can
falsify the measured oxygen value.
– M ake sure that the oxygen saturation index of
the calibration medium is correct and remains
constant during calibration.
– I n the event of calibration in water or sample
medium, the calibration medium must be in
equilibrium with the air. Oxygen exchange
between water and air is only very slow.
Therefore it takes quite long time until water is
saturated with atmospheric oxygen.
