14 OI/ADS430–EN Rev. A | Aztec ADS430 | Optical dissolved oxygen probe
6.3 2-Point calibration (100 % and 0 % saturation)
1. Perform a 1-point calibration.
Referring to Fig. 6.2:
2. Remove storage cap
A from the top of calibration
chamber
B.
3. Place sponge wafer
C in the bottom of calibration
chamber
B and saturate with approximately 10 ml
(0.34 fl oz [US])) of water.
4. Fit vented calibration cap
D to the top of calibration
chamber
B.
5. Ensure the probe and sensing element are completely dry.
If necessary use a paper towel to remove any water or
debris from the probe or sensing element.
6. Slide probe E into calibration chamber B until the
sensing element is approximately 25 mm (1 in.) above
water-saturated sponge
C.
7. Allow 5 to 10 minutes for temperature stabilization prior to
continuing the calibration procedure from step 8 onwards.
8. At the transmitter perform a 2-point calibration from an
Operator page as follows:
9. Press the key (below the Cal prompt).
The Calibrate page is displayed:
10. Press the key (below the Select prompt).
The Calibrate page is displayed with all available
sensors shown:
IMPORTANT (NOTE) This calibration procedure
requires 60 ml (2.0 fl oz [US])) of fresh sodium
sulphite solution.

25 mm
(1.0 in.)
IMPORTANT (NOTE)
Do not leave the probe in the calibration chamber
for more than 30 minutes – this can allow
condensation to form on the surface of the sensing
element, producing false low readings after
calibration.
If condensation occurs, remove the probe,
thoroughly dry the sensing element, probe and
thermistor before performing the calibration
procedure.
