Overview Oxi 3310 IDS (Oxi 3315)

1.2.1 IDS sensors

IDS sensors
 support the automatic sensor recognition
 show only the settings relevant to the specific sensor in the setting menu
 process signals in the sensor digitally so that precise and interference-free
measurements are enabled even with long cables
 facilitate to assign a sensor to a measured parameter with differently colored
couplings
 have quick-lock couplings with which to fix the sensors to the meter.

Sensor data from IDS sensors transmit the following sensor data to the meter:
IDS sensors  SENSOR ID
– Sensor name
– Sensor series number
 Calibration data
– Calibration date
– Calibration characteristics
– Calibration interval
– Calibration history of the last 10 calibrations

The calibration data are updated in the IDS sensor after each calibration pro-
cedure. A message is displayed while the data are being updated in the sensor.

Note
In the measured value display, you can display the sensor name and
series number of the selected sensor with the [Info] softkey. You can
then display all further sensor data stored in the sensor with the [More]
softkey.

1.2.2 Automatic sensor recognition

The automatic sensor recognition for IDS sensors allows

 to operate an IDS sensor with different meters without recalibrating
 to assign measurement data to an IDS sensor
– Measurement datasets are always stored and output with the sensor
name and sensor series number.
 to assign calibration data to an IDS sensor
– Calibration data and calibration history are always stored and output with
the sensor name and sensor series number.
 to hide menus automatically that do not concern this sensor

8 ba75944e02 10/2014
Oxi 3310 IDS (Oxi 3315) Overview

To be able to use the automatic sensor recognition, a meter that supports the
automatic sensor recognition (e.g. Oxi 3310 IDS (Oxi 3315)) and a digital IDS
sensor are required.
In digital IDS sensors, sensor data are stored that clearly identify the sensor.
The sensor data are automatically taken over by the meter.

4.4.5 Example 2 on navigation: Setting the date and time

The meter has a clock with a date function. The date and time are indicated in
the status line of the measured value display.
When storing measured values and calibrating, the current date and time are
automatically stored as well.
The correct setting of the date and time and date format is important for the fol-
lowing functions and displays:
 Current date and time
 Calibration date
 Check date (for IDS D.O. sensors)
 Identification of stored measured values.

Therefore, check the time at regular intervals.

The date and time are reset to default after a fall of the supply volt-
age (empty batteries).

Setting the date, The date format can be switched from the display of day, month, year

5.1.1 Measuring D.O.

NOTE
When connecting a grounded PC/printer, measurements cannot be
performed in grounded media as the values would be incorrect. The USB
interface is not galvanically isolated.

1. Connect the D.O. sensor to the meter.

The D.O. measuring screen is displayed.
2. If necessary, select the measured parameter with <M>.
3. Check or calibrate the meter with the sensor.

Only in special cases does the FDO® 925 D.O. sensor require cal-
ibration. A regular FDO® check is sufficient.

4. Immerse the D.O. sensor in the test sample.

Selecting the You can switch between the following displays with <M>:
displayed  D.O. concentration [mg/l]
measured parameter
 D.O. saturation [%]
 D.O. partial pressure [mbar].

If D.O. concentration [mg/l] is selected as the measured parameter,

low concentrations (below 1 mg/l) are automatically displayed with
the higher solution of 0.001 mg/l.

Salinity correction When measuring the concentration of solutions with a salt content of more than
1 g/l, a salinity correction is required. For this, you have to measure and input

24 ba75944e02 10/2014
Oxi 3310 IDS (Oxi 3315) Dissolved oxygen

the salinity of the measured medium first.

When the salinity correction is switched on, the [Sal] indicator is displayed in
the measuring screen.

You can switch the salinity correction on or off and enter the salinity
in the menu for calibration and measurement settings (see section
6.1.1 SETTINGS FOR D.O. SENSORS (MENU FOR MEASUREMENT AND
CALIBRATION SETTINGS), page 33).

Stability control The stability control function (AutoRead) continually checks the stability of the
(AutoRead) measurement signal. The stability has a considerable impact on the reproduc-
& HOLD function ibility of measured values.
The measured parameter flashes on the display
 as soon as the measured value is outside the stability range
 when the automatic Stability control is switched off.

Irrespective of the setting for automatic Stability control (see section 6.2.3
AUTOMATIC STABILITY CONTROL, page 35) in the System menu, you can start a
measurement with Stability control manually at any time.

1. Freeze the measured value with <AR>.

The [HOLD] status indicator is displayed.
The HOLD function is active.

You can terminate the Stability control function and the HOLD func-
tion with <AR> or <M> at any time.

2. Using <ENTER>, activate the Stability control function manually.

The [AR] status indicator appears while the measured value is assessed
as not stable. A progress bar is displayed and the display of the mea-
sured parameter flashes.
The [HOLD][AR] status indicator appears as soon as a stable measured
value is recognized. The progress bar disappears and the display of the
measured parameter stops flashing.
The current measurement data are output to the interface. Measurement
data meeting the stability control criterion are marked by AR.

You can prematurely terminate the Stability control function manu-

ally with <ENTER> at any time. If the Stability control function is
prematurely terminated, the current measurement data are output
to the interface without the AutoRead info.

3. Using <ENTER>, start a further measurement with stability control.

or
Release the frozen measured value again with <AR> or <M>.
The [AR] status display disappears. The display switches back to the
previous indication.

Criteria for a stable The Stability control function checks whether the measured values are stable
measured value within the monitored time interval.

Measured parameter Time interval Stability in the time

interval
D.O. concentration 20 seconds ∆ : better than 0.03 mg/l

Oxygen saturation 20 seconds ∆ : better than 0.4 %

Oxygen partial pressure 20 seconds ∆ : Better than 0.8 mbar

Temperature 20 seconds ∆ : better than 0.5 °C

The minimum duration until a measured value is assessed as stable is the mon-
itored time interval. The actual duration is mostly longer.

5.1.2 Measuring the temperature

For reproducible D.O. measurements, it is essential to measure the tempera-

ture of the test sample.
IDS D.O. sensors measure the temperature with a temperature sensor inte-
grated in the IDS sensor.

5.2 FDO® check procedure

5.2.1 Why should you check the sensor?

With the FDO ® Check procedure, you can find out in a simple manner
whether the FDO ® 925 D.O. sensor should be cleaned or calibrated.

5.2.2 When should you check the sensor?

Checking can be useful in the following cases:

 When the check interval has expired
(the [check] status indicator is displayed).
 If the measured values seem to be implausible
 If you assume that the sensor cap is contaminated or at the end of
its lifetime
 After the sensor cap was exchanged
 Routinely within the framework of the company quality assurance

dure Use the check and storage beaker (FDO ® Check) to carry out the FDO ®
check procedure.
Stability control In the FDO® check procedure, the Stability control function (AutoRead) is auto-
(AutoRead) matically activated.
Proceed as follows to carry out the FDO ® check procedure:

1. Connect the D.O. sensor to the meter.

2. Place the D.O. sensor in the check and storage beaker, FDO® Check .

The sponge in the check and storage beaker must be moist (not
wet). Leave the sensor in the check and storage beaker long
enough so it can
adapt to the ambient temperature.

5.2.4 Evaluation

The evaluation is based on the accuracy required by the used. Together with
the nominal value (100 %) this results in a validity scope for the check.
If the measured value is within the validity scope, no cleaning or user
calibration is required.
If the measured value is outside the validity scope, the sensor shaft and
membrane should be cleaned, and the check should then be repeated
(see section 5.4.1).
Example:
– Required accuracy: ± 2 %.
– In water vapor-saturated air or air-saturated water, the nominal
value for the relative D.O. saturation (abbreviated: saturation) is
100 %.
– Therefore, the validity scope is 98 ... 102 %
– The check resulted in a measured value of 99.3 %
The measurement error is within the specified validity scope.
No cleaning or user calibration is required.

5.3 Calibration

5.3.1 Why calibrate?

D.O. sensors age. This changes the slope of the D.O. sensor. Calibration deter-
mines the current slope of the sensor and stores this value in the instrument.

The FDO ® 925 D.O. sensor ages so little it does not have to be
regularly calibrated.
To detect changes of the sensor as early as possible, the FDO ®
check procedure can be useful (see section 5.2 FDO® CHECK PRO-
CEDURE, page 26).

5.3.2 When to calibrate?

 If your evaluation of the FDO ® check procedure suggests the necessity of

a calibration
 When the calibration interval has expired
 When your accuracy requirements are especially high
 Routinely within the framework of the company quality assurance

5.3.3 Calibration procedures

The Oxi 3310 IDS (Oxi 3315) provides 2 calibration procedures:

 Calibration in water vapor-saturated air.
Use an OxiCal® air calibration vessel for the calibration.

28 ba75944e02 10/2014
Oxi 3310 IDS (Oxi 3315) Dissolved oxygen

 Calibration via a comparison measurement (e.g. Winkler titration according

to DIN EN 25813 or ISO 5813). At the same time, the relative slope is
adapted to the comparison measurement by a correction multiplier. When
the correction multiplier is active, the [Factor] indicator appears in the mea-
suring window.

5.3.4 Calibration in water vapor-saturated air

Use the check and storage beaker (FDO® Check) to calibrate the FDO®
925 sensor.
Proceed as follows to calibrate the D.O. sensor:

1. Connect the D.O. sensor to the meter.

2. Place the FDO® 925 D.O. sensor in the check and storage beaker, FDO®
Check .

The sponge in the check and storage beaker must be moist (not
wet). Leave the sensor in the check and storage beaker long
enough so it can
adapt to the ambient temperature.

3. Start the calibration with <CAL>.

Oxi 3310 IDS (Oxi 3315) Glossary

13 Glossary
Dissolved oxygen

OxiCal® WTW name for a procedure to calibrate D.O. measuring systems in

water vapor saturated air.
Salinity The absolute salinity SA of seawater corresponds to the relationship
of the mass of dissolved salts to the mass of the solution (in g/Kg). In
practice, this dimension cannot be measured directly. Therefore, the
practical salinity according to IOT is used for oceanographic monitor-
ing. It is determined by measuring the electrical conductivity.
Salt content General designation for the quantity of salt dissolved in water.
D.O. partial pressure Pressure caused by the oxygen in a gas mixture or liquid.
D.O. (oxygen) satura- Short name for the relative D. O. saturation.
tion
Slope (relative) Designation used by WTW in the D.O. measuring technique. It
expresses the relation of the slope value to the value of a theoretical
reference sensor of the same construction type.

General information

Resolution Smallest difference between two measured values that can be dis-
played by a meter.
AutoRange Name of the automatic selection of the measuring range.
Adjusting To manipulate a measuring system so that the relevant value (e.g. the
displayed value) differs as little as possible from the correct value or a
value that is regarded as correct, or that the difference remains within
the tolerance.
Calibration Comparing the value from a measuring system (e.g. the displayed
value) to the correct value or a value that is regarded as correct. Often,
this expression is also used when the measuring system is adjusted at
the same time (see adjusting).
Measured parameter The measured parameter is the physical dimension determined by
measuring, e.g. pH, conductivity or D.O. concentration.
Test sample Designation of the test sample ready to be measured. Normally, a test
sample is made by processing the original sample. The test sample and
original sample are identical if the test sample was not processed.
Measured value The measured value is the special value of a measured parameter to be
determined. It is given as a combination of the numerical value and unit
(e.g. 3 m; 0.5 s; 5.2 A; 373.15 K).
Molality Molality is the quantity (in Mol) of a dissolved substance in 1000 g sol-
vent.
Reset Restoring the original condition of all settings of a measuring system.
