LDO2 SENSOR CALIBRATION PROCEDURE


Calibration for measurements

The sensor is calibrated to specification at the factory. The manufacturer does not recommend
calibration unless periodically required by regulatory agencies. If calibration is required, let the
sensor come to equilibrium with the process before calibration. Do not calibrate the sensor at
setup.

Calibration options

 AIR CAL - Recommended calibration method. This calibration modifies the slope.
 SAMPLE CAL - Calibration by comparison with a hand-held DO meter. This calibration
modifies the offset.
 RESET DFLT CAL - Resets the calibration gain (slope) and offset to the factory default:
default gain=1.0; default offset=0.0

Calibration with air

User notes:

• Make sure that calibration bag has water inside.

• Make sure that the seal between the calibration bag and the sensor body is tight.

• Make sure that the sensor is dry when it is calibrated.

• Make sure the air pressure/elevation setting is accurate for the calibration location.

• Allow enough time for the sensor temperature to stabilize to the temperature of the
calibration bag location. A large difference in temperature between the process and the
calibration location can take up to 15 minutes to stabilize.

1. Remove the sensor from the process. Use a wet cloth to clean the sensor.

2. Put the entire sensor in a calibration bag with 25-50 mL of water. Make sure that the sensor
cap is not in contact with the water inside the calibration bag and that no water drops are on
the sensor cap (Figure 1 below).

3. Use a rubber band, tie or hand to create a tight seal around the sensor body.

4. Let the instrument stabilize for 15 minutes before calibration. Keep the calibration bag out of
direct sunlight during stabilization.

5. Make sure that the current absolute air pressure or elevation is configured correctly.

Note: The manufacturer recommends the use of absolute or actual air pressure as a best
practice.

6. Go to MENU > SENSOR SETUP > [Select Sensor] > CALIBRATE > AIR CAL.

7. Select the option for the output signal during calibration:

 Active - The instrument sends the current measured output value during the calibration
procedure.
 Hold - The sensor output value is held at the current measured value during the
calibration procedure.
 Transfer - A preset value is sent during calibration. Refer to the controller user manual
to change the pressure value.

8. The controller will show "Move the probe to bag". Allow the value to stabilize. Push ENTER to
accept the stable value. Alternately, let the calibration continue until the display shows
"Complete".

9. When the sensor is calibrated, put the sensor into the process. Push ENTER.

If the value does not stabilize, the display will show "Unable to Calibrate" followed by an error
message. Table 1 shows the error message and resolution for calibration problems.
