7. After entering the Sensor Cap Coefficients, perform a 1-point
calibration as described in the Calibration Section.
8. Press and hold the CAP key for 3 seconds at any time to exit and
cancel the cap coefficient update.
If errors are made in entering the Sensor Cap Coefficients, the
instrument will block the update and an error message will appear
on the display and the instrument will return to the K1 entry screen. If
you see this error message, re-enter the coefficients and check them
carefully for correct transcription from the Calibration Coefficient Label.
The coefficient values are hexadecimal. Due to the EcoSense ODO200's
display, 6 and b look very similar. Hexadecimal values on the ODO200
will be displayed as: A, b, C, d, E, F, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
If you continue to get an error message after several entry attempts,
contact YSI Technical Support for assistance.
REHYDRATING THE SENSOR CAP
The Sensor Cap must remain in a moist environment; see Sensor
Storage for storage recommendations. If the sensor cap is allowed to
dry out, it is likely to drift slightly at the beginning of your next study
unless it is rehydrated. If the cap dries out, you can rehydrate it by
soaking the probe tip with the sensor cap installed in room temperature
tap water for 24 hours. After rehydration is complete, recalibrate and
be sure to store the probe in a moist environment.
SENSOR MAINTENANCE - TEMPERATURE
You must keep the temperature portion of the sensor free of build
up. Other than that, the sensor requires no maintenance. A soft bristle
brush, like a tooth brush can be used to scrub the temperature sensor
if needed.
SENSOR STORAGE
SHORT-TERM STORAGE
When the ODO sensor is not in use, store it in a moist environment.
For short-term storage (less than 30 days), moisten the sponge in the
calibration/storage sleeve with a small amount of clean water and place
this over the probe with the sensor cap and sensor guard installed. This
will provide a 100% saturated air environment.
