ADS420 | DISSOLVED OXYGEN SENSOR | OI/ADS420-EN REV. B 7
4 Calibration
This section describes how to calibrate the sensor and involves
measuring the sensor's sensitivity to oxygen by exposing the
sensor to water-saturated air.
Calibrations are initiated via the Cal prompt displayed on
Operator pages or via the Calibrate and Advanced menu
items on the Access Level
instructions OI/AWT420 for all transmitter menu options.
Note.
• Do not perform a calibration until the sensor and transmitter
are installed and ready for operation.
• Before removing the sensor for calibration purposes, set the
currents outputs and alarms to Hold (enabled via the
Operator Menu/Manual Hold function).
• After calibration and sensor replacement, reset the currents
