CS510 OxyGuard Dissolved

Oxygen Probe

An accurate and reliable sensor is a critical element in any measurement system. The

OxyGuard Stationary Probe meets these criteria for the measurement of dissolved oxygen.

1. General Information

The OxyGuard Stationary Probe is a galvanic probe which produces a millivolt

signal proportional to the amount of oxygen present in the measured medium.

Oxygen diffuses through the membrane onto the cathode, reacts chemically, and

combines with the anode. An electrical current is produced by this chemical

reaction which is converted from microamps to millivolts by an in-line resistor.

An in-line thermistor also conditions the signal providing automatic temperature

compensation. With these features, the probe produces a millivolt output

proportional to the oxygen present in the medium in which it is placed. The probe

consists of two parts, an upper part with cathode, anode and cable, and a lower

part comprising a screw on membrane cap with fitted membrane. The cap is filled

with electrolyte and simply screwed onto the top component.

The probe is self polarizing and requires no external power source. There are

only two wires to connect. Cable length is rarely a limiting factor and generally

there is no need for shielded wire.

Because the probe's output is linear, it is possible to connect it directly to a data

acquisition system capable of handling the small millivolt signal.

The probe's robust construction and simple design make maintenance and

servicing it straightforward. There is no need to send the probe back to the

factory for servicing. It utilizes a strong, easy-to-clean and easy-to-change

membrane in a screw-on membrane cap. Regular servicing is not required. When

necessary probe can be fully overhauled in five minutes.

Flow-through and by-pass fittings.

EasyCal calibrator for fast and accurate calibration.

5. Optional Agitator

The PT4 Agitator is a reliable and robust agitator for use in conjunction with

probes subjected to bio-fouling in ponds and stagnant water conditions.

O2probes require a minimum water velocity across their membranes to function

properly. Therefore, to measure DO in stagnant water conditions, it is necessary

to move the water past the membrane to get accurate and reliable DO

measurements. In many instances the water also has a high bio-loading and the

probes become fouled resulting in inaccurate DO measurements.

CS510 OxyGuard Dissolved Oxygen Probe

FIGURE 5-1. Preventing Bio-fouling of the CS510-L

The PT4 Agitator overcomes these problems. The device is designed so that a

soft bristle brush sweeps across the probe membrane or sensor tip. This sweeping

action of the brush provides the required water velocity as well as prevents the

membrane from becoming bio-fouled.

The optimum sweeping frequency depends upon the design of probe and type of

membrane used and water conditions. An ON-time of 0.25 seconds and OFF-

time of 5 seconds is suitable in most circumstances.

Agitator’s overall size: 7-1/8" x 3-1/4" diameter, 1-1/4 lb. (180mm x 83mm, 0.6 kg)

Supplied with 10 ft. (3 meters) cable.

Power required: 10.5 to 18 VDC at the agitator, 1.1 amps. Maximum ON-time is

3 seconds.

Optional Repeat Cycle Timer for Agitators: Reciprocating action may be

controlled by the optional solid state Repeat Cycle Timer. It sends 12 VDC pulses

to the agitator coil. The ON-time is 0.25 sec. The OFF-time is adjustable from 3

to 12 sec.; requires supply voltage 10 to 17 VDC; housed in watertight cylinder

6.6" x 2" diameter (170 mm X 50 mm).

6. Application Information

Short Cut users: This application note was written primarily for

those whose needs are not met by Short Cut. Your procedure is

much simpler: just add the OxyGuard probe (it’s in the water

quality sensor group), save your program, and follow the wiring

shown in Step 4 of Short Cut.

7. Wiring

The OxyGuard probe uses one differential channel. Differential wiring is better

at rejecting electrical noise and ground loop error.

8. Programming

Instruction 2, differential millivolt measurement is required for the OxyGuard

probe. The example measurement instructions that follow do not store data to

final storage. Additional instructions (Typically P92, P77 and output processing

instructions such as P70) are required to store data permanently.

9. Calibration

The multiplier is used to calibrate the OxyGuard probe. To calculate the

multiplier:

1) Program the CR10(X) using a multiplier of one.

2) Place the OxyGuard probe in the air, shaded from the sun. Wait for readings

to stabilize. This may take 15 minutes or more.

NOTE

CS510 OxyGuard Dissolved Oxygen Probe

3) Determine the air temperature and barometric pressure.

4) Using a calibration chart such as that provided in the probe’s manual,

determine the oxygen concentration of the air.

5) Use the following equation to calculate the multiplier:

M = P/R

M = Multiplier

P = Concentration in PPM of the air (from the calibration chart)

R = The signal output of the OxyGuard probe when using a multiplier of one

6) Change the multiplier in the CR10 program from one to the calculated

number.

10. Maintenance

The OxyGuard probe needs little maintenance. Regular cleaning of the

membrane is all that is required. The membrane is very durable and can be

cleaned with a cloth or soft paper. Do not scratch it clean with your fingernail.

Please see the OxyGuard manual for complete maintenance procedures.

11. Agitator Control

In low flow conditions (less than about 2 cm/sec), it may be necessary to add

an agitator to the OxyGuard probe. The distributor for OxyGuard in North

America sells a self-timed agitator which can be purchased through Campbell

Scientific. The self-timed agitator requires no datalogger programming.

However, some users choose to use a solid state relay and have the datalogger

agitate the water on the probe face either periodically throughout the day or

just before measurement. Agitating just before the measurement saves on

power and causes less wear and tear on the agitator and probe membrane.

The wiring for the agitator as controlled by this example program would be as
