Product description

3.1

General information

The sensor InPro 6900 with integrated temperature
probe is used for meas ure ment of oxygen at low
concentrations.
The sensor is sterilizable and compatible with CIP
(cleaning in place).
InPro 6900 sensors with ISM functionality offer Plug
and Measure as well as enhanced diagnostics
features.
3.2

Principle

Here is a short summary of the principle of polaro-
graphic measurement on which this sensor is based
(Clark 1961).
a) The Clark polarographic sensor basically consist of
a working electrode (cathode), a counter/reference
electrode (anode), and an oxygen permeable
mem brane which separates the electrodes from the
sample medium.
b) The transmitter supplies a constant polarization
voltage to the cathode, needed to reduce oxygen.
c) The oxygen molecules which migrate through the
permeable membrane are reduced at the cathode.
At the same time, oxidation takes place at the an-
ode and oxidized anode metal (silver) is liberated
as silver ions into the electrolyte. The electrolyte
closes the electric circuit between anode and cath-
ode (ion conductivity).
d) The current produced by the reactions described
above is measured by the transmitter and is pro-
portional to the partial pressure of oxygen (pO
the sample medium.
Additionally, the InPro 6900 features a guard ring cath-
ode which guarantees rapid response by the sensor
and good signal stability at low DO concentrations.

ic sensor» for further information.
