First step: NULL CALIBRATION
Disconnect the sensor from the BNC connector ->RETURN
The NULL CALIBRATION is started
If no errors have occurred, save the calibrated values by selecting Yes and confirm
with RETURN
Reconnect the oxygen sensor to the running ProfiLux 4.
Wait at least 30 minutes to continue with step two
Second step: AIR CALIBRATION
The Air calibration is only possible if a Null calibration has been performed successfully at
least once. Before the Air calibration, the sensor must be connected to the ProfiLux 4 for at
least 30 minutes!
Select Air calibration ->RETURN
Select the Temperature compensation and proceed accordingly
Select the Salinity compensation and proceed accordingly
Enter the temperature of the air at the calibration location ->RETURN
Keep the sensor about 1 cm (0.39”) above the water and do not touch the surface of
the water with the sensor
Start the measurement with ->RETURN
If no errors have occurred, save the calibrated values by selecting Yes and confirm
with RETURN
Check the calibration as described below
The Oxygen sensor is now ready for use. Based on your calibration, ProfiLux 4 can now
determine the dissolved oxygen.
5.9.9 Control of Sensor calibration
Please check at all calibration points whether the correct value is displayed:
During the calibration measurement, 2 numbers can be seen in the lower
line. The left number indicates the maximum remaining time in seconds.
If the measured value has not stabilized sufficiently after this time has
elapsed, a faulty sensor is emitted and the calibration is interrupted.
The right number shows the measured value in an internal representation.
ProfiLux 4 detects automatically if this value has stabilized and then
terminates the measuring process.
