– For correct calibration, a minimum flow rate of
the calibration medium is necessary.
– Make sure that all other parameters, such as
t emperature and pressure, are constant.
For continuous applications, we recommend peri-
odic recalibration in line with your requirements
on accuracy, the type of process in operation and
your own experience. The frequency of the need
for re- c alibration depends very much on the specific
a pplication, and therefore appropriate intervals can-
not be exactly defined here.
5.2.3 Single point calibration
By carrying out a single point calibration, the factual
slope of the sensor can be established. The cali-
bration medium can be water with known oxygen
saturation index (e.g. air-saturated water) or air with
known w ater-vapor saturation (e.g. water-vapor
saturated air).
After the sensor signal has stabilized, the complete
meas u ring system can then be calibrated to the
100 % value of the d esired measurable variable,
e.g.100 % air, 20.95 % O
(77 °F) and normal pressure (see instruction manual
for the t ransmitter).
5.2.4 Dual point calibration
By carrying out a dual point calibration both slope
and zero point of the sensor can be established.
a
Important! In case of a dual point calibration,
always start by the zero point calibration before
calibrating the slope.
As a rule, the zero point should be adjusted to zero
manually, or it is automatically performed by the
transmitter (see instruction manual for the transmit-
ter).
Zero-point calibration is recommended:
– when measuring less than 5 ppb in liquids
– when measuring less than 125 ppm (by vol.) in
gases
a
Attention! Incorrect zero point calibration is a
frequent source of measurement error. For cor-
rect calibration, we recommend the use of car-
bon dioxide gas with a level of purity of at least
99.9995 %.
After the sensor signal has stabilized (after 6 ... 12
hours), the sensor can be calibrated through the
r elevant transmitter to the zero % value of the desired
measurable variable, e.g. 0 % air, 0.0 % O
0.0 ppm (see instruction manual for the transmitter).
