Display functions

During normal operation the oxygen content is displayed in the unit [mg/l]. By pressing the Key 2 (down) the temperature at the electrode can be shown, pressing key 3 (up) shows the state of the electrode in [%]. The state is calculated and stored during the calibration (see below). The displays of the state and the temperature of the electrode are marked by small arrows at the upper end of the display. After 5 seconds the transducer display switches automatically back to the oxygen value.

•  display dissolved oxygen
• display electrode temperature
• display state of electrode

Calibration of the electrode

• Expose electrode to the ambient air, wait until the temperature has adopted to the ambient conditions. Press key “SET” for 5 sec., The display shows “CAL”.
• After approx. 10 sec’s the transducer is calibrated or a referring error message will be shown:

replace electrode if necessary
CFE.3| Wrong signal: to low| Membrane dried out/electrode used up| Electrode maintenance / replace
CFE.4| Wrong signal: to high| Calibration surrounding not valid| Check Calibration surrounding
CFE.6| Instable signal| Calibration surrounding not valid| Check Calibration surrounding

Important!! Oxygen electrodes are sensitive components. Please read the referring manual prior to use.

• During calibration the state of the electrode is evaluated: 100% means perfect state, 40 % means e.g. electrode has a weak output signal and needs to be regenerated or replaced soon (p.r.t. electrode manual).
• The state of the electrode can be displayed with key 3 (up).

Configuration of the device

• For the correct function of the device in its application, it has to be configured to meaningful settings.
• For doing this the cover has to be removed. Then the jumper J1 right above of key 2 has to be set.
• Then use following configuration procedure:

1. Press key one more than 5 sec’s until OFFS appears in the display. Now OFFS and the referring setting are shown alternating
   OFFSET of the measuring „OFFS“ :
   The offset is entered in mg/l. It can be used to compensate different effects, e.g. special approaching flow conditions of the application. Please refer to Appendix A

2. Enter the desired value by using keys 2 (down) and 3 (up).
   Input range: -1.00…+0.00 mg/l

3. Acknowledge the value with key 1 (set): The display shows „PAbS“
   Average ambient absolute pressure „PAbS“ (function of the altitude above sea level):
   Necessary for a correct evaluation of the state of the electrode. If the application works for example at an altitude of 350 m above sea level, 980mbar is a correct setting. Please refer to Appendix B

4. Enter the desired value by using keys 2 (down) and 3 (up).
   Input range : 500…2000 mbar

5. Acknowledge the value with key 1 (set): The display shows „FilLt“
   Display damping „FiLt“:
   By this factor the ‘speed’ of the display can be adopted to the application. This is intended to reduce instabilities in the measured value as they appear in some specialised applications

6. Enter the desired value by using keys 2 (down) and 3 (up).
   Input range: 0…15 (0: fast display, 15: slow display. Setting ex works:

7. Acknowledge the value with key 1 (set).
8. The settings are stored. The unit starts up again. (8888 in display)
   Attention: Bring back the jumper j1 to the ‚parking position‘ after configuration (one contact connected, the second contact ‚on air‘)! Then the device can be calibrated by key 1 and the configuration data is protected.

Error and System Messages

the transducer.
FE 2| Measuring values below measuring range| Wrong signal| Check the connections, cable and electrode.
FE 7| System fault| Error in device| Disconnect from supply and reconnect. If error remains: return to manufacturer
FE 9| Input signal is not valid| Sensor not connected or cable defective| Check sensor, cable and connections

8.8.8.8

| Segment test| The transducer performs a display test for 2 seconds after power up. After that it will change to the display of the measuring.
Input signal is not valid| Permissible input range is exceeded| Check if not a wrong electrode is connected. Replace electrode.

Appendix A: Offset settings for different applications
The Offset setting is supposed to correct measuring deviations caused by different flow speed (v) around the electrode:

• For activated sludge basins and at flow speeds > 1m/s a offset setting of ca –0,6 should be entered.
• In between 0,3 and 1m/s the offset can be read from the diagram. 0,3m/s correspond to the speed that is achieved by stirring by hand.
• Flow speeds below 0,3 m/s are not sufficient to get a correct and reproducible measuring.

Appendix C: the oxygen electrode:
The oxygen electrode is an active electrode consisting of a silver cathode and a lead anode using potassium hydroxide (KOH) as an electrolyte. In case of oxygen being present it will be reduced at the silver cathode and the electrode produces electric current. In case of no oxygen being present not current will be produced. Both the silver cathode and the lead anode will be used up during oxygen measuring. The electrode ages. We, therefore, recommend regular maintenance of the electrode at monthly intervals (p.r.t. ‘Electrode maintenance’).

Electrode design:
The electrode housing is made of PVC. With the exception of the electrode shaft all parts need to be maintained regularly and be replaced if necessary.

• Protective flask: The protective flask is used to moisten the diaphragm. The service life of the electrode will be prolonged. The protective flask contains water.
  Attention! Use water only; never use potassium chloride (KCI); this is only required for storage of pH-electrode.

• Diaphragm head: the diaphragm head is covered with a Teflon diaphragm. It will be filled with KOH electrolyte and screwed onto the electrode shaft (no air bubbles). Damages in the diaphragm, large air bubbles or air bubble rings in the diaphragm head will result in erroneous measurements. This may also be the reason for errors in the calibration. The diaphragm head is a spare part and can be ordered individually.

• Filling hole : If the electrode is used at high temperatures or if it has been stored without its protective flask for a longer period of time, some electrolyte will be lost due to evaporation. If necessary unscrew diaphragm head, remove locking screws and top up electrolyte using a syringe. Replace and tighten locking screws. Normally some electrolyte can be observed penetrating at the silver cathode.

When is electrode maintenance required:

• Unless it is used the electrode is to be stored in the protective flask filled with water or directly in a vessel filled with dechlorinated water.
• Residues of bacteria, fungi or algae must be removed prior to measuring using a soft paper towel.
• If a calibration can no longer be carried out or if the membrane is damaged the electrode needs maintenance.
• In the course of the time air bubbles may accumulated underneath the membrane. As long as they are small and do not affect the silver cathode the measurements will not be influenced. If, however, there is a large ring of air bubbles underneath the membrane covering the silver cathode, the electrode needs maintenance.

Attention during maintenance is required as the electrolyte is highly corrosive !
Use disposable gloves during maintenance, if available, or rinse hands thoroughly with water.

Electrode maintenance

1. Prepare liquid absorbing paper towel.

2. Remove membrane head and wipe off electrolyte solution with paper cloth.
   Do not touch electrolyte. If your skin has come into contact with electrolyte, rinse thoroughly with clear water.

3. Clean silver cathode using sand paper (grain size 240). Do not shine silver cathode as its surface needs to be rough so that the electrolyte can be dispersed evenly. Remove any dust from grinding.

4. If necessary take out replenishing screw and top up with electrolyte till it is spilling out (e.g. using a disposable syringe). Put back replenishing screw. (normally not necessary)

5. Put new membrane head on the paper towel and fill up with electrolyte making sure there are no air bubbles.

6. Put electrode into head vertically from above till the thread catches. Then take up head with paper towel and screw onto electrode from underneath. Electrolyte will be displaced from the membrane head, flowing over.

7. Mop up excess electrolyte using paper towel.

8. Turn electrode around and check for air bubbles. If there are no air bubbles or only tiny ones the maintenance has been completed. If there are large air bubbles the process has to be repeated.

If O-ring has been damaged, it has to be replaced.

• Please note: Prior to its being calibrated again the electrode needs to be lying on a table for at least 3 hours.
• If electrode can no longer be calibrated although it has been properly maintained, the electrode needs to be returned to manufacturer for check up and may have to be replaced.

How to Operate

1. Store the oxygen electrode always in water, either in the protective flask, or directly in a vessel filled with dechlorinated water. For storage in the protective flask first push the cap oh the electrode second the o-ring and thereafter put the electrode in the flask and screw the cap down the flask.
   If the diaphragm has dried up the electrode must be soaked in water for approx. 2 h prior to measuring start-up. Then a calibration can be carried out without any problems.

2.  The electrode are only suitable for the devices OXY3610MP. Unsuitable devices may lead to the destruction of the
   measuring device and the oxygen electrode.

3. For measuring remove the protective flask of the electrode

4. Please note: the electrode measurement is sensitive against shocks! By stirring of the electrode in the measured liquid be careful that the electrode does not hit the container. A vibration of the electrode has a effect to the measured value.

Disposal instructions

• The electrode contains lead and caustic electrolyte. Dispose as special waste.
• According to the ElektroG (law for bringing into market, the return and the environmentally friendly disposal of electronic equipment) we accept the return of the electrode and the device.
• Send the device or electrode directly to us (sufficiently stamped), if it should be disposed. We will dispose it appropriately and environmentally friendly.
