4.4.4 D.O. calibration

Why calibrate? D.O. sensors age. This changes the slope of the D.O. sensor.
Calibration determines the current slope of the sensor and stores this
value in the instrument.

When to calibrate? z After connecting another D.O. sensor

z When the sensor symbol flashes (after the calibration interval has
expired).

Calibration datasets The Oxi 3210 administrates two sets of calibration data:

z Set 1 for the type, "CellOx": – CellOx 325

z Set 2 for the type, "DurOx": – DurOx 325

Sensors of different types can be calibrated separately from each other.

When one sensor type is calibrated, the calibration data of the other
type remains stored. The Oxi 3210 recognizes the type of the
connected sensor and automatically uses the correct calibration data.

Calibration procedures With the Oxi 3210, the following calibration procedure is available:
Calibration in water vapor-saturated air.
Use an OxiCal® air calibration vessel for calibration.

Stability control In calibration, the Stability control function (AutoRead) is automatically

(AutoRead) activated.

Display calibration data You can have the data of the last calibration displayed (see section
4.4.5).

Specialist terms The glossary briefly explains the meaning of the specialist terms.
However, terms that should already be familiar to the target group are
not described here.

Index The index will help you to find the topics that you are looking for.

Glossary

Adjusting 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
within the tolerance.
AutoRange Name of the automatic selection of the measuring range.
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.
Often, this expression is also used when the measuring system is
adjusted at the same time (see adjusting).
D.O. partial pressure Pressure caused by the oxygen in a gas mixture or liquid.
D.O. saturation Short name for the relative D.O. saturation.
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).
OxiCal® WTW name for a procedure to calibrate D.O. measuring systems in
water vapor saturated air.
Reset Restoring the original condition of all settings of a measuring system.
Resolution Smallest difference between two measured values that can be
displayed by a meter.

Salinity 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 according to IOT is used for oceanographic
monitoring. It is determined by measuring the electrical conductivity.
Salt content General designation for the quantity of salt dissolved in water.
Slope (relative) Designation used by WTW in the D.O. measuring technique. It
expresses the relation of the slope value to the value of a theoretical
reference sensor of the same construction type.
Stability control Function to control the measured value stability.
Test sample Designation of the test 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.
