10.8 Calibration — Ozone
An ozone sensor generates a current directly proportional to the concentration of ozone in
the sample. Calibrating the sensor requires exposing it to a solution containing no ozone
(zero standard) and to a solution containing a known amount of ozone (full-scale standard).
The Zero Calibration is necessary because ozone sensors, even when no ozone is in the
sample, generate a small current called the residual or zero current. The analyzer
compensates for the residual current by subtracting it from the measured current before
converting the result to an ozone value. New sensors require zeroing before being placed in
service, and sensors should be zeroed whenever the electrolyte solution is replaced. The best
zero standard is deionized water. The purpose of the In Process Calibration is to establish the
slope of the calibration curve. Because stable ozone standards do not exist, the sensor must
be calibrated against a test run on a grab sample of the process liquid. Several manufacturers
offer portable test kits for this purpose.
To calibrate the ozone sensor, access the Calibration screen by pressing ENTER/MENU from the
main screen, select S1 or S2 Measurement and press ENTER/MENU. Press INFO at any time to
learn more about this procedure. A yellow
screen will appear with detailed
instructions and information.
