3600.OM.E9909
1. Operating Instructions
1.1 What you have received
Your 3600 analyzer for oxygen or ozone measurements includes:
• A model 3600/xxx or 3600M/xxx Indicating Instrument, available as a
portable, panel/rack mount, or wall mount unit; and
• A model 311xx.xx Oxygen Sensor, or model 313xx.xx Ozone Sensor.
These components are available in a variety of configurations, listed in section 3.
Indicating instrument, front panel

The 3600 instrument front panel includes a key-lock to switch on the instrument; a
two-line liquid crystal display (LCD), displaying 16 characters across; a “ ”
switch to illuminate the LCD for three minutes when connected to an external
power source; and four control keys. Complete operating instructions are provided
in section 1.3.
The oxygen or ozone sensor has a threaded collar and storage cap, and a screw-on
protection cap covering the membrane. A plastic screw-on base at its rear provides
a stand for servicing, and protects the screw-on 10-pin LEMO connection. The
sensor cable has a mating LEMO-10 connector.
Oxygen or ozone sensor components, plus sensor cable and base—exploded view
A sensor recharge kit, in a blue plastic case, is included with your analyzer. Inside
this kit are the materials to maintain your sensor, such as membranes, electrolyte,
a special membrane mounting tool, polishing powder, and a polishing cloth. The
contents of this recharge kit are listed in section 1.6.
Check to see that any required mounting hardware has been included with your
shipment. This varies for each application, but in general a flow chamber, multi-
parameter flow chamber (where a model 28117 external pressure sensor also can
be mounted), or sensor socket is usually needed to bring the sensor in contact with
the gaseous or liquid sample.
3600.OM.E9909
1.2 What to check before using the system

Note that the Installation Guidelines in section 2 include all the instructions you
need to set up your system. Please refer to this section now if you are still in the
process of configuring your installation. Before making initial measurements, first
perform the following checks.
Check voltage and line power—The 3600 indicating instrument is available in
115 VAC, 230 VAC, and 10–30 VDC versions. A sticker on the rear panel
indicates which voltage you have. Make sure that it is correct before connecting to
a power supply, and make sure that the ground of the AC supply is connected.
The user must make the DC supply connection, as described in section 2.1.
Note that the portable version can operate on battery power, without connection to
an external power supply, for a period up to 16 hours. If your portable instrument
periodically displays a “LOW BATTERY” message, recharge the batteries by
plugging the instrument into a power supply and leaving it plugged in overnight.
Check instrument mounting—The instrument is available in portable, panel or
19" rack mount, or wall mount versions. If you are still configuring your
installation, refer to section 2.1 for relevant mounting information.
Check instrument connections—The instrument provides connections for line
power input, the oxygen or ozone sensor, and an optional external pressure sensor
input. In addition, the output pack (optional on portable instruments) includes
connections for alarm outputs, analog current outputs, and an RS-232 serial
output. Refer to section 2.1 for complete wiring and connection information.
Check the oxygen or ozone sensor—Shipping conditions can adversely affect
Orbisphere sensors. If you intend to make measurements with the sensor as
shipped, first examine the sensor head.
To do this, first remove the storage cap by loosening the sensor collar. Your sensor
head is fitted with a screw-on protection cap. For a view of the sensor head, you
must remove the protection cap, using the wrench supplied in your recharge kit.
Do this carefully, making sure not to disturb the membrane that covers the sensor
head, held in place by a membrane holding ring. You will get a better look at all
these components during your first sensor service (section 1.5).
Before making a measurement, check the sensor head to see that:
• The membrane holding ring is firmly in place,
• The membrane surface is smooth and wrinkle-free,
• The electrolyte beneath the membrane is free of bubbles,
• The electrodes appear clear, clean, and bright.
Check sensor placement—To bring the oxygen or ozone sensor in contact with
the gaseous or liquid sample for measurement, you can place the sensor:
• In a flow chamber (for on-line sampling, that is, samples drawn off line by
6-mm or ¼-inch tubing);
• In a sensor socket or ProAcc insertion/extraction valve for measurements
made directly in a sampling pipe; or
• Directly into “loose” liquid or gas-phase samples.
Check the sensor installation recommendations in the Installation Guidelines,
section 2.2, before proceeding with measurements.
3600.OM.E9909
1.3 Instrument Operation

After you have reviewed the previous sections of this manual, connect the sensor
to the instrument and then turn the keyswitch to the horizontal “unlocked” on
position. The system automatically starts in “measurement” mode.
Front Panel Keyswitch

The instrument function keys are active only while the keyswitch is in the
horizontal “unlocked” position. Choose the vertical “locked” position when
measuring, to avoid accidental or unauthorized parameter modification.
Instrument Function Keys

Press the red “ESC” button to jump back one step in the program menus.
Following the flow chart in section 1.3.1, for example, if your instrument LCD
were displaying the “Measurement” menu, press “ESC” to return to “Measure
Options Calibrate” (also known as the “main menu”).
MEASURE OPTIONS
CALIBRATE
Use the yellow “!” and “"” arrow keys to scroll through available menu options
at various stages of operation. Press “!” to move the menu “blink” from right to
left and “"” to move it in the opposite direction.
During measurement, use the “!” and “"” arrow keys to fix the measurement
display on a specific range, as described in section 1.3.2.1.
Press the red “ENTER” key to select an item from the menu displayed. Note that
when entering numbers (for example, an alarm limit) the menu displays four
digits, with one digit highlighted by the caret symbol “^” in the line below. Press
the “!” key to increment this digit, press “"” to decrement this digit. Press
“ENTER” to shift the highlight one digit to the right, until last digit, in which case
the whole new value is saved.
(Note that if power is disconnected, the system remembers any new values saved
via the “ENTER” key.)
The “ENTER” key also activates a single RS-232 transmission while the
instrument is measuring (if the RS-232 output is in “Manual” mode, as described
in section 1.3.2.3).
The instrument is calibrated at the factory for typical applications. However, you
may wish to recalibrate the oxygen or ozone sensor before making any
measurements, using the procedures described in section 1.3.3.
You should familiarize yourself with the “Modify Options” menus described in
section 1.4. Your instrument is pre-set with certain default values, which enable
you to get started on actual measurements with a newly delivered system, but later
you may need to make other choices of parameters.
3600.OM.E9909
1.3.1 Program Flow Charts

The following flow chart depicts the menus you encounter when the instrument is
first turned on, and an overview of the menu choices. The Measure menu is
described further in section 1.3.2. The Calibration menus depicted below are
described further in section 1.3.3. The Modify Options menus are described in
more detail in section 1.4.

show that there are more choices to follow (but you will not see the ellipses on
LCD). You may highlight any one of these choices by pressing “!” or “"”.
3600.OM.E9909
1.3.2 Oxygen or Ozone Measurement

Typical 3600 instruments are delivered with the appropriate measurement and
membrane selections pre-set for your application. However, you may change these
settings if desired, using the Modify Options menus, section 1.4.
The simplest way to check if your system is set for the right measurement units is
to place the system in measurement mode. Switch on the instrument (if necessary)
to bring up the “Measurement” mode (or select it from the “Measure Options
Calibrate” menu by using the “!” or “"” key).
1.3.2.1 Instrument Measurement Display
With the sensor connected, switching on the instrument first reveals the software
version and date on the LCD, as shown in the flow chart in section 1.3.1. Next, the
instrument begins a measurement cycle, and then displays the measured gas and
temperature, on a screen like this.
O2 = 8.123 ppm 3
T = 23.4° C ∞
Note that your system should show the appropriate gas measured (O2 or O3), gas
and temperature measured values, and units of measurement. If the gas measured
and unit of measurement on the top line is as expected—for example, oxygen (O2)
in parts per million (ppm)—and the appropriate temperature measurement unit is
expressed on the bottom line (°C, °K, or °F), then you should be ready to make
measurements in the sample.
(The infinity symbol “∞” illustrated above only appears when the instrument is
“busy”, that is, occupied with an internal operation for a few seconds. Keyboard
input will not be accepted during these interruptions.)
Range indication
A display range indication appears at the rightmost position of the measurement
display’s top line (“3” in the sample display above). If this indication is blank,
then the instrument is operating in autoranging mode. Otherwise, a single digit
from 1 to 5 appears, to show which fixed range the instrument is in (1 = lowest
range as selected in the Modify Options/Display Units menus, section 1.4.1).
Use the arrow keys to change the display range (and thus the measurement
resolution). Press “!” to cycle the range digit upward (“"” cycles it downward)
through the permitted “number of ranges” (see section 1.4.1), until it goes blank to
indicate autoranging. For example, if you are configured for three ranges you can
cycle upward through the sequence ...blank-1-2-3-blank... etc.
When you select a fixed range, you may see the following message displayed.
OVERRANGE
RANGE 3
This means that the measured gas concentration exceeds the upper display limits
of the selected range (illustrated here as “Range 3”). Normal corrective action is to
press the “!” key to reach a less sensitive range, of which the upper limit exceeds
the gas concentration. It may also be necessary to enable access to more display
ranges by pressing “ESC”, selecting the “Modify Options/Display Units” menus,
and then increasing the “number of ranges”, as described in section 1.4.1.
Note that you may see an “Overrange Range 0” message as well. This is an
indication that you are measuring outside the measurement limits while in
autoranging mode.
3600.OM.E9909
What to expect during oxygen measurement

An oxygen sensor previously exposed to air (or to air-saturated liquid) will, once
placed in a typical sample, generate a signal that decays rapidly at first, then more
slowly as it approaches the actual oxygen level of the sample.
It is normal for the rightmost display digits to vary slightly—this is a reaction to
slight variations in oxygen content. However, if drastic changes in temperature
occur at the sensor, correct readings will lag as the sensor adjusts to the new
temperature. The instrument’s response time depends on the membrane used,
anywhere from 7.2 seconds, to 90 seconds, for 90% of total change at 25°C.
What to expect during ozone measurement
The ozone sensor needs 10–20 minutes for signal stabilization after first switching
on, or just after calibrating. After this initial period, the instrument reacts quickly
to changes in ozone concentration; 90% of a change in concentration will register
in about 30 seconds when using the model 2956A membrane.
1.3.2.2 Analog Measurement Outputs
Depending on the model, the 3600 instrument provides either three or four analog
output signals of 0–5 Volts, 0–20 mA, or 4–20 mA. (See section 2.1.4.4 for output
wiring connections; see section 2.1.8.2 for current/voltage output conversion.) The
analog outputs represent the measured O2 or O3 gas concentration, temperature,
pressure (optional), and a gas concentration range indication.
These outputs are available when the instrument is connected to an external AC or
DC power supply, but are not available with battery power.
The instrument generates these analog outputs using a 12-bit digital converter;
thus, the minimum increment of any output can be determined by dividing the
output range by 4096. For example: You could set the gas concentration range to
0–500 ppm for 4–20mA, and your recorder would still pick up changes of 0.2
ppm. The accuracy of each increment is 1%.
O2 or O3 (gas) concentration output
Using the “Analog Output” options menus, you can scale the gas concentration
output to vary between any two custom gas concentration levels. Instructions for
setting these “Custom Analog Output” levels are in section 1.4.4 of the Modify
Options menus.
• When “Custom Analog Output” is “Disabled” in these menus, the instrument
rescales the gas concentration output whenever the measurement display range
changes (by autoranging or by using the arrow keys, section 1.3.2.1). (Any
display range change is indicated by the Range output signal.) The instrument
rescales the analog output to vary linearly with the gas concentration, from
zero to the maximum value that can be displayed in each range. The relation
between the gas concentration and the analog output current “I” (in mA) or
voltage “V” (in volts) is as follows for each display range.
Gas concentration “C”, for each display range *
Analog output X.XXX XX.XX XXX.X XXXX.
0–20 mA C=I/2 C=I*5 C = I * 50 C = I * 500
4–20 mA C = (I - 4) / 1.6 C = (I - 4) * 6.25 C = (I - 4) * 62.5 C = (I - 4) * 625
0–5 V C=V*2 C = V * 20 C = V * 200 C = V * 2000
* Limited by the “lowest range” and “number of ranges” specified (see section 1.4.1).
• When “Custom Analog Output” is “Enabled”, the analog output is rescaled to
vary between the analog low level “AL” and analog high level “AH” set in the
menus. The relation between the gas concentration and the analog output
current “I” (in mA) or voltage “V” is as follows as scaled by these levels.
3600.OM.E9909
Analog output Gas concentration “C”

0–20 mA C = AL + (AH - AL) * I / 20
4–20 mA C = AL + (AH - AL) * (I - 4) / 16
0–5 V C = AL + (AH - AL) * V / 5
Or, shown graphically

(for 0–20 mA):
The analog output saturates at 5 V or 20 mA when the measured gas concentration

is equal to or exceeds the high level AH. Similarly, it remains blocked at 0 V,
0 mA, or 4 mA if the concentration is equal to or less than the low level AL.
The output also shows these extreme values under the following conditions.
Analog output Explanation
0 Volts, 0 mA, or 4 mA Menu, sensor thermal cutoff, negative gas concentration value,
custom analog output low level, or display underrange
0 Volts < Signal < 5 Volts, Normal operation
0 (or 4) mA < Signal < 20 mA
5 Volts or 20 mA Display overrange, custom analog output high level, or sensor
disconnected
Temperature output
The analog signal representing the sample temperature varies linearly with the
measured temperature from -20 to 100 °C, according to the following formulae.
Analog output Temperature
0–20 mA Temperature, °C = -20 + 6 * I
Temperature, °F = -4 + 10.8 * I
Temperature, °K = 253.15 + 6 * I
4–20 mA Temperature, °C = -20 + 7.5 * (I - 4)
Temperature, °F = -4 + 13.5 * (I - 4)
Temperature, °K = 253.15 + 7.5 * (I - 4)
0–5 V Temperature, °C = -20 + 24 * V
Temperature, °F = -4 + 43.2 * V
Temperature, °K = 253.15 + 24 * V
Pressure output
If your instrument is fitted with the optional external pressure sensor input, an
analog output representing the sample pressure is available. This output is valid
only for measurements made in “Fraction” units, that is, when “pmv:%V” units
have been selected from the “Modify Options/Display Units” menu. This output
signal is linear, from 0 to 5000 mbar, according to the following formulae.
Analog output Pressure
0–20 mA Pressure, mbar = 250 * I
4–20 mA Pressure, mbar = 312.5 * (I - 4)
0–5 V Pressure, mbar = 1000 * V
3600.OM.E9909
Range output
The range output furnishes an additional analog signal that enables further
interpretation of the gas concentration output (such as when “Custom Analog
Output” is disabled). The following table explains this output signal.
Range output Explanation
0–5V 0–20mA 4–20mA
0 0 4 Overrange, thermal cutoff, out of bounds

Note: The range output is replaced by a second gas concentration output in certain instrument
models, thus providing two equivalent gas output signals. These models are denoted by “2 gas” in
the Instrument Configurations list, section 3.1.
1.3.2.3 Serial Measurement Outputs
The instrument serial output provides formatted text for an RS-232 compatible
printer, monitor, or computer interface (see section 2.1.4.3 for serial output wiring
connections). The pertinent RS-232 communications parameters are Baud rate:
9600, Stop Bit: 1, Data Bits: 8, Parity: None.
Instructions for selecting the serial output operating mode are in section 1.4.5 of
the Modify Options menus. When “Auto” is selected, the RS-232 interface will
output a three-line message every four seconds while the instrument is in
“Measurement” mode. These lines show gas concentration, sample temperature,
and external pressure measurements (the external pressure “value” will be present
even if no external pressure sensor is connected).
The “Manual” RS-232 output permits you to send one set of measurements—gas
concentration, temperature, and external pressure—to the RS-232 output at a time.
Once enabled, you may send this message while the instrument is in
“Measurement” mode by pressing “ENTER”.
Orbisphere offers a separate data logging program (model 32680.E) running under
Windows® to store this information. See section 1.7 for installation and operating
instructions. You can also use this serial output with a personal computer
equipped with the Windows 95/98 “HyperTerminal” program, or various third-
party communications software such as ProComm or Crosstalk.
1.3.2.4 Alarm Relay Responses
Two alarm relays (labeled “C” and “C1”) are available in certain 3600 instrument
models (these models are denoted by “with 2 alarms” in the Instrument
Configurations list, section 3.1). Each alarm relay has two separate contacts (to
ground) available at the output pins—normally open (NO) and normally closed
(NC) (see section 2.1.4.5 for alarm relay contacts wiring identification).
The “Alarm Outputs” options menu gives you the choice of selecting the alarm
configuration—“High/Low”, “High/High”, or “General”. This configuration
determines the manner in which the alarm relays respond to various system or
measurement conditions. You can set your own alarm limits—if the measured gas
3600.OM.E9909
concentration is outside of these limits, the instrument activates the appropriate

alarm relay. Instructions for selecting the alarm configuration and setting the alarm
limits are in section 1.4.3 of the Modify Options menus.
The following table lists the alarm conditions and alarm relay responses for each
configuration. Note that certain alarm conditions set both alarm relays.
Configure Condition “C” relay “C1” relay
High/Low No alarm: low limit < gas concentration < high limit
Low alarm: gas concentration < low limit
High alarm: high limit < gas concentration
High/High No alarm: gas concentration < high limit
High alarm: high limit < gas conc. < high-high limit
High/High alarm: high-high limit < gas conc.
General Normal Measurement operation
Overrange, thermal cutoff, negative gas signal, sensor
disconnected, instrument power off, or not in
measurement mode
Note: This table shows the responses for the normally open (NO) contacts of each alarm relay;
= relay closed, = relay open;
the normally closed (NC) contacts are the reverse state of those shown above.
After a alarm condition is indicated as above, the instrument clears the Low alarm
when the measured gas concentration rises to 1% above the low limit, or clears the
High or High-High alarm when the gas concentration drops to 1% below the high
or high-high limit respectively.
1.3.2.5 Warning Messages
The 3600 instrument performs internal diagnostic checks and displays a warning
message in case of abnormality. The following table shows the warning messages
that appear in place of the measurement display, and their explanation.
Message Explanation

section 1.4.1.
3600.OM.E9909
1.3.3 Calibration
As delivered, all 3600 systems are pre-calibrated. However, it is recommended
that you recalibrate the oxygen or ozone sensor before making any measurements.
The calibration menus permit the calibration of the oxygen or ozone sensor, as
well as the internal barometric pressure sensor of the instrument and an optional
external pressure sensor. The calibration menus are shown in the program flow
chart in section 1.3.1.
Note that when you select the calibration menus, the instrument discontinues all
measurement operations.
For reference, tables of oxygen and ozone concentrations are included in
Appendix 1 and Appendix 2. These tables are useful for verifying your results
when have finished sensor calibration and are back in the “Measurement” mode.
1.3.3.1 Instrument Barometric Pressure Calibration
The instrument internal barometric pressure sensor is calibrated at the factory, and
normally requires no further attention. You may wish to calibrate it against your
own instrumentation, or simply check the instrument for accuracy.
To calibrate, press “ESC” if necessary to bring up the “Measure Options
Calibrate” screen and highlight “Calibrate”, then press “ENTER”. You will see the
menu below:
CALIBRATION
BAROM. PRESSURE
This menu also includes the options of “In Air”, “Direct”, or “Extern. Pressure”.
Press the “!” or “"” key until “Barom. Pressure” is highlighted, and then press
“ENTER” to see the current barometric pressure measurement of the instrument:
PRESSURE
980 mbar
If this agrees with your atmospheric pressure reading, press “ESC” to return to the
Calibration menu. However, if you wish to re-calibrate the internal barometric
pressure sensor, press “ENTER” to bring up this screen:
BAROMETRIC 0000
PRESSURE ^
Enter your own atmospheric pressure value. Use the “!” or “"” key to increment
or decrement the each of the four digits, and press “ENTER” after each digit to
move the cursor one place to the right. The fourth time “ENTER” is pressed, the
instrument stores the value and then returns to the current barometric pressure
display, above.
1.3.3.2 Oxygen or Ozone Sensor Calibration in Air
You can calibrate the oxygen or ozone sensor easily in air. The sensor should be
calibrated before it is used for the first time, or after a sensor service described in
section 1.4.
Remember to wait at least 30 minutes after mounting a new membrane before re-
calibrating the sensor.
Place the oxygen or ozone sensor in water-saturated air to provide a known
reference against which to calibrate. Using the sensor storage cap, place the cap
under tap water, then shake off the water, leaving a few drops inside the cap. Note
that the screw-on protection cap should be in place on the sensor head. (If you use
3600.OM.E9909
a Dacron mesh inside the protection cap, make sure it is dry before attempting to
calibrate.) Then, loosely place the storage cap back on the sensor, holding it in
place by a few turns of its collar. The storage cap and sensor should now be at
about the same temperature.
Now turn to the instrument. Press “ESC” if necessary to bring up the main menu:
MEASURE OPTIONS
CALIBRATE
Use the “!” or “"” key to highlight “Calibrate”, and then press “ENTER”.
CALIBRATION
IN AIR
To calibrate in air, use the “!” or “"” key to highlight “In Air”, and then press
“ENTER”. This activates the calibration routine.
NOW 95.00% OF
LAST CALIBRATION
The instrument displays the sensitivity of the sensor as a percentage of the
sensitivity determined when calibration was previously performed. If, for
example, “95% of last calibration” is displayed, as shown here, then sensitivity
has drifted downwards by 5 % since calibration was last performed.
The displayed percentage must be between 30% and 170% in order to proceed.
If this is the case, press “ENTER” to finish the calibration, and the following
message is displayed briefly.
CALIBRATION
COMPLETE
The instrument then returns to the Calibration menu.
If you press “ENTER” when the displayed percentage is outside the permitted
range, you will see the following:
CALIBRATION
OUT OF BOUNDS
You should re-examine the sensor as discussed in section 1.2. In most instances,
the sensor will need to be serviced, a procedure described in section 1.5.
First calibration
In the program flow chart, section 1.3.1, you will see the note “After first
calibration”. The system considers a “first calibration” to be performed whenever
any membrane model is selected by pressing “ENTER” in the “Select Membrane”
menu (section 1.4.11), or when you have changed any of the options in the “Gas to
Measure” menu (section 1.4.10). Instead of getting a message on-screen with a
percentage of the “last calibration” as above, you will see a screen like the
following as the system compensates for the change in parameters;
NOW 95.00% OF
EXPECTED CURRENT
Pressing “ENTER” here will give you either a “Calibration Complete” or
“Calibration out of Bounds” message, as indicated above.
3600.OM.E9909
Calibration Out Of Bounds

It is possible to receive a “Calibration Out Of Bounds” message even though you
have thoroughly serviced the sensor in accordance with the procedures in section
1.5. While it is possible that the sensor is in need of repair by an authorized
Orbisphere service representative, it is also possible that the instrument simply
needs to be reset to its default “Expected Current” after repeated re-calibrations.
To reset the instrument to the default current parameters, enter the “Modify
Options/Membrane”, highlight the membrane model number you are using, and
press “ENTER” to “re-select” the same membrane (see also section 1.4.11). This
informs the instrument that it should perform its calibration against expected
current, rather than against the “Last Calibration”. If the sensor is performing
properly, the instrument will accept a new calibration, and you should now receive
a “Calibration Complete” message.
1.3.3.3 Oxygen or Ozone Sensor Direct Calibration
The “Direct” calibration routine calibrates the oxygen or ozone sensor against a
sample of a known gas content (that is, a span gas).
To use this method for the ozone sensor, it is necessary to place the sensor directly
in samples of known ozone composition and perform a colorimetric analysis on
the sample, such as the Indigo Trisulfonate or DPD test. (Alternately, Orbisphere
has developed an Absolute Calibration Method that uses the sensor as an end-
point determinator. The method is explained in Appendix 3 of this manual.)
Note: If your instrument is configured for dissolved gas measurements but you
wish to calibrate against a gaseous sample using the procedures below, you must
first reconfigure as a “partial pressure” analyzer using the “Modify Options”
menus in section 1.4.1.
To calibrate, first select the “Calibrate” from the main menu. Press “!” or “"”
until “Direct” is blinking, then press “ENTER”, to bring up this screen:
CALIBRATION 8123
CONDITION ^
Enter the oxygen content of the calibration sample (8.123 % in this example).
Adjust the value of the four digits with “!” or “"”, and press “ENTER”. The
following calibration screen appears to adjust the decimal point:
CC = 8.123 ppm 3
UP/DOWN MODIFIES
The rightmost digit on the top line indicates the range affected: 1 refers to the
lowest range, 2 to the second range, and so on. Use the “!” or “"” keys to modify
this setting, and then press “ENTER” to record this calibration value.
The next screen will relate this calibration to the previous calibration parameter, as
described in the “Calibration in Air” menu, section 1.3.3.2. If the value is not
within 50 to 150% of the previous calibration, a “Calibration Out Of Bounds”
message prompts you to take corrective action.
1.3.3.4 Model 28117 External Pressure Sensor Calibration
The 3600 instrument can be fitted with an external pressure sensor, model 28117,
capable of measuring up to 3.5 bar (50 psia). This pressure sensor mounts on the
model 32002 multi parameter flow chamber, as described in section 2.2.4, and
interfaces with the instrument via a 4-pin LEMO connector, section 2.1.4.2.
3600.OM.E9909
If you wish to calibrate your 28117 pressure sensor against a known pressure,
choose “Extern. Pressure” from “Calibration” menu, and press “ENTER” for the
pressure sensor screen.
PRESSURE SENSOR
50 psia
Press “ENTER”, and the instrument now displays the current external pressure
sensor reading. You can use this as a monitoring screen later:
EXTERN. PRESSURE
1010 mbar
If this agrees with your current atmospheric reading, then press “ESC” to return to
the Calibration menu. However, if you wish to re-calibrate, press “ENTER” to
select the method of calibration.
METHOD
ONE POINT
To calibrate, you have three menu choices:
• “One Point” which permits you to input one pressure value;
• “Two Point” which requires that you calibrate against high and low pressure
values (generally recommended only for high-pressure applications); and
• “Default” which lets the system make its own adjustments.
Use the “!” or “"” buttons to highlight the desired method, and press “ENTER”.
Selecting “Default” causes the instrument to determine the calibration, then return
to the current atmospheric reading display, as shown above.
Activating “One Point” brings up this screen:
ONE POINT 0000

mbar ^
You must enter the absolute (gauge plus atmospheric) pressure applied to the
sensor. Adjust each digit with the “!” or “"” key, and press “ENTER” to activate
and return to the “Extern. Pressure” display, as shown above.
The “Two Point” calibration method differs from “One Point” only by requiring
that you apply and enter a “high” and “low” pressure. While this is more time
consuming and is not usually required for precise measurement, it does offer an
additional parameter for the instrument to use for pressure compensations.
LOW POINT 0000

bar ^
The “Two Point” calibration method also requires that you enter the absolute
(gauge plus atmospheric) pressure for each point. Adjust each digit with the “!”
or “"” key, and press “ENTER” to go to the high pressure screen:
HIGH POINT 0000

bar ^
Adjust each digit with the “!” or “"” key, and press “ENTER” to save and return
to the “Extern. Pressure” display, as shown above.
3600.OM.E9909
During “Two Point” calibration, error messages are displayed if the sensor voltage
does not fall within a relatively narrow boundary of the expected voltage at both
points. (The possible error messages displayed are: “Pressure points too close”,
“Voltage points too close”, Bad slope”, or “Bad intercept”.) These messages mean
that either the sensor is not functional and should be replaced or repaired, or that
an error has been made in the calibration procedure. If these messages are
displayed, try repeating the two point calibration.
1.3.3.5 Model 32646.E Hydrogen Compensation Option (oxygen sensor only)
This software option permits you to operate the O2 sensor in samples containing
high levels of H2. This calibration routine requires a source of reasonably pure (for
example, 99.8% or better) H2, along with an accurate pressure gauge.
Handle H2 gas with great care! It is extremely flammable and explosive.
Note that in order to use this option, the “H2 Compensation” routine under
“Modify Options” must be enabled. See section 1.4.7.
To start this calibration, choose “Pure Hydrogen” from the “Calibration” menu
and then press “ENTER” to bring up this screen:
H2 PRESSURE 1000
(CAL) mbar ^
Enter the absolute (gauge plus atmospheric) pressure of the H2 sample (pressure
value must not be zero), using the “!” or “"” key to adjust each digit and
“ENTER” to activate.
The first time you perform this calibration you will see a menu as follows:
CURRENT
12.34 nA
This establishes a baseline for the expected sensor current (in nanoamperes; above
value is an example only) in the presence of pure H2.
Subsequent calibrations will yield a menu like this:
NOW 95.4% OF
LAST CALIBRATION
1.3.4 Shutting Down the System
During a short shut-down period (such as overnight or weekends), the oxygen or
ozone sensor can be left in its flow chamber or sensor socket mounting.
If this inactive period is likely to last a long time, remove the sensor from its flow
chamber or sensor socket.
• For short inactive periods (such as a few days), place a drop or two of water in
the storage cap and screw it onto the sensor to prevent the membrane from
drying out.
• If you expect not to use your sensor for more than a few months, clean the
sensor, as instructed in sections 1.5.1 to 1.5.8, and store it “dry”, without
electrolyte, with the calibration cap in place for protection.
Since the instrument has a non-volatile memory, important parameters will remain
memorized even when the instrument is switched off.

DISPLAY UNITS
The first “Modify Options” screen displayed will depend on which option that you
used last. For this manual, we will start with the “Display Units” option.
1.4.1 Selecting Display Units
This option allows you to specify whether your oxygen or ozone measurement is
for dissolved, fraction, or partial pressure gas measurement; which measurement
units are to be displayed; the display resolution (decimal point placement); the
number of ranges desired; and the temperature units to be displayed.
Below are the standard choices of display units (certain specialized applications
may have additional units available as well):
Dissolved (in water)
ppb:ppm * gas concentration in parts per billion or parts per million, by weight
ppb gas concentration in parts per billion, by weight (O2 only)
ppm gas concentration in parts per million, by weight (O2 only)

ppm:% * gas pressure, relative to calibration pressure, in parts per million or percentage
Fraction
pmv:%V * percentage of gas volume, relative to external pressure sensor (partial pressure /
external pressure), expressed as parts per million or percentage, by volume
* Composite measurement units—both units are available in autoranging mode; when the
measurement drops below 1.000 of the higher (second listed) units, the measurement is displayed
in the lower (first listed) units.
Under the “Modify Options” menu, highlight “Display Units” using the “!” or
“"” arrow keys, and then press “ENTER” to display this menu:
DISPLAY UNITS
DISSOLVED
3600.OM.E9909
You have the choice of “Dissolved”, “Partial Pressure”, or “Fraction” gas

measurement. Use the “!” or “"” arrow keys to move the highlight from one
choice to another, and press “ENTER” to select that option.
For Dissolved, the choices are as follows:
DISSOLVED
ppb:ppm ppb ppm
The available units for dissolved oxygen measurements are ppm, mg/l, %
saturation in O2, % saturation in Air, and ppb:ppm (plus mg/liter in solvent units
“mgU” and “mgB”). Dissolved ozone measurements can be made in ppb:ppm or
mg/liter. For ppb:ppm, concentrations below 1 ppm are displayed in ppb (1 ppm =
1000 ppb).
For Partial Pressure, this menu appears:
PARTIAL PRESSURE
ppm:% psia Atm
The available units for any gas are bar, mbar, kPa, and ppm:%. For oxygen
measurements, psia and Atm are also available; for ozone measurements, g/mc is
also available. In ppm:%, concentrations below 1% are displayed in ppm (1% =
10000 ppm). Please note that there is no pressure compensation of partial pressure
measurements. Thus, the ppm:% units are valid only if the total pressure remains
constant at the calibration pressure.
For Fraction, the following screen appears:
FRACTION
pmv:%V
This unit of measurement “behaves” identically to other composite units, in that
measurements below 1%V are displayed in pmv (1%V = 10000 pmv). The
instrument compensates fraction measurement for external pressure. Thus, the
model 28117 external pressure sensor must be connected (see sections 2.1.4.2 and
2.2.5) and calibrated (see section 1.3.3.4).
Dissolved, Partial Pressure and Fraction menus all proceed to the following menu,
to select the gas concentration display ranges:
LOWEST RANGE
XX.XX XXX.X
You can select the placement of the decimal point on the lowest measurement
range from one of the options (X.XXX, XX.XX, XXX.X, or XXXX). Press the
arrow keys to highlight your choice, then press “ENTER” to activate. Note that
the units on the “lowest range” will be the most sensitive available. Hence, if you
had selected “ppb:ppm” units, then your selection of lowest range refers to ppb.
Next is the menu for specifying the number of measurement ranges.
NUMBER OF RANGES
2 3 4 5
This menu limits the number of ranges that can be displayed in autoranging or by
pressing the arrow keys. Ozone measurements can display four ranges (1–4),
while oxygen measurements can include a fifth range as well. For example, if you
only want measurement values displayed from “XX.XX” to “XXX.X”, with
3600.OM.E9909
“XX.XX” as the “lowest”, you would select “2” from this menu. You should
select five ranges for a “composite” unit like ppm:%. In this case, you would
select “5” ranges: XX.XX, XXX.X, and XXXX ppm, X.XXX and XX.XX %.
You can specify temperature units, in the last menu of this routine:
TEMPERATURE

1.4.2 Setting Sensor Thermal Cutoff
If the sample temperature could exceed the compensated temperature range of the
sensor, you can set an upper temperature limit to automatically cut off the
electrical signal to the sensor to extend the life of the sensor. (As an example, for
steam cycle operation, you may want to set the cutoff for 40.0° C.)
Under the “Modify Options” menu, highlight “Thermal Cutoff” using the “!” or “
"” arrow keys, and then press “ENTER” to display this screen:

Press the “!” or “"” arrow keys to increment or decrement the highlighted digit,
and then press “ENTER” to move to the next digit. After pressing “ENTER” a
fourth time to enter all the digits, the instrument returns to the “Modify Options”
menu. Once this is set, if the sample temperature exceeds your limit, the analog
outputs drop to their lowest value, a “General” alarm relay is set (if enabled), and
a “WARNING THERMAL CUTOFF” message appears on the display (see
sections 1.3.2.2, 1.3.2.4, 1.3.2.5).
1.4.3 Setting Alarm Limits
The Alarms menus configure the instrument’s internal relays for alarm outputs.
The alarms configuration (High/Low, High/High, or General) determines the
manner in which these relays respond (see section 1.3.2.4 for description of alarm
relay responses). For High/Low and High/High configurations, measurement
limits can be set by these menus—if the measured gas concentration is outside of
these limits the instrument activates the appropriate alarm relay.
To select the alarms configuration, under the “Modify Options” menu, highlight
“Alarms” using the “!” or “"” arrow keys, and then press “ENTER”:
CONFIGURE ALARMS
HIGH/LOW
This menu also includes the choices “High/High” and “General”. Use the arrow
keys to highlight your choice, and then press “ENTER” to select that
configuration. Note that whenever you select a configuration from this menu, the
other two configurations are disabled in the instrument, and are no longer active.
For “General”, the next menu allows you to enable or disable the general alarms:
GENERAL ALARM
DISABLED ENABLED
3600.OM.E9909
Highlight “Enabled” and press “ENTER” to enable the general alarms, then the
instrument returns to the “Modify Options” menu. (Measurement limit alarms are
not available in this configuration.)
For the “High/Low” selection, the following menu comes up to set the
measurement limits for this configuration:
HIGH 0000
LIMIT ^
Use the “!” or “"” arrow keys to increase or decrease the highlighted digits, and
then press “ENTER” to move to the next digit. First, enter all of the significant
digits of the desired limit without regard for the position of the decimal point or
units. Once the fourth digit is set, press “ENTER” to see the following screen:
H = 43.21 ppm 3
UP/DOWN MODIFIES
In this menu, “H” represents the High Limit value. The rightmost digit on the top
line indicates which range is affected: 1 refers to the lowest range, 2 to the second
range, and so on. Use the “!” or “"” keys to modify this setting, and then press
“ENTER” to save your selection.
The instrument then proceeds to the second set of limit menus (Low Limit in our
example—in the last screen, “L” represents the Low Limit). After you enter the
second limit, the instrument returns to the “Modify Options” menu.
For the “High/High” configuration selection, menu operation is as above, except
that the menus use the abbreviations “H” (for High Limit) and “HH” (for High-
High Limit) in place of the “L” and “H” illustrated above.
1.4.4 Setting Analog Outputs
The instrument provides several analog output signals representing sample
measurements (see section 1.3.2.2 for description of these analog outputs). The
Analog Outputs menus allow you to rescale the gas concentration output signal
between any two custom concentration limits, for use with external equipment
such as recorders.
Under the “Modify Options” menu, highlight “Analog Output” using the arrow
keys, and then press “ENTER” to display this screen:
CUSTOM ANALG OUT

DISABLED ENABLED
Highlight “Enabled” and press “ENTER” to set your custom analog output levels.
(See section 1.3.2.2 for description of the “Disabled” output.)
ANALOG OUT 0000

LOW LEVEL ^
then press “ENTER” to move to the next digit. First, set all of the significant
digits without regard for the position of the decimal point or units. Once the fourth
digit is set, press “ENTER” to see the following screen:
AL = 43.21 ppm 3
UP/DOWN MODIFIES
3600.OM.E9909
In this menu, “AL” represents the Analog Low Level. The rightmost digit on the
top line indicates the range: 1 refers to the lowest range, 2 the second range, and
so on. Use “!” or “"” to modify this setting and then press “ENTER” to save
your selection.
The instrument then proceeds to the Analog High Level menus, similar to the two
above (in the last screen, “AH” is used as the abbreviation). After you enter the
high level, the instrument returns to the “Modify Options” menu.
1.4.5 Serial Output Selection
The instrument’s RS-232 interface can be used for connection to a serial printer,
monitor, or computer (see section 1.3.2.3 for description of these serial outputs).
This output can be generated automatically, or only at operator command. To set
this operation, highlight “Serial Output” under the “Modify Options” menu and
press “ENTER” to bring up the following screen:
RS-232
AUTO MANUAL
When “Auto” is selected, the RS-232 interface will output a three-line display
every four seconds while the instrument is in “Measurement” mode, showing gas
concentration, sample temperature, and external pressure. (The external pressure
“value” will be present even if no such external pressure sensor is connected.)
The “Manual” RS-232 output permits you to send just one set of measurements—
gas, temperature, and external pressure—to the RS-232 output at one time. Once
enabled, you may send this information to a printer or other computer while the
instrument is in “Measurement” mode by pressing “ENTER”.
Orbisphere offers a data logging program (model 32680.E) running under
Windows® to store this information. See section 1.7 for operating instructions.
This connection also can be used with a personal computer equipped with the
Windows 3.1 “Terminal” program, the Windows 95/98 “HyperTerminal” program,
or various third-party communications software.
1.4.6 Salinity and Chlorinity Adjustments (oxygen sensor only)
If you want to inform the instrument of high salinity or chlorinity conditions that
could otherwise affect oxygen measurements, a corrective menu is available.
Pressing “ENTER” when “Salinity” is blinking under the “Modify Options” menu
displays this screen:
SAL. CORRECTION
DISABLED ENABLED
Note that this menu covers both chlorinity and salinity. Press “ENTER” when
“Enabled” is blinking, and this screen appears:
SELECT UNITS g/l

CHLORIN. SALIN.
Pressing “ENTER” for either of these choices gives you the opportunity to enter
expected salinity or chlorinity in a screen like this:
SALINITY 000.0
MAX 54 g/l
then press “ENTER” to move to the next digit, until all digits are entered. After
3600.OM.E9909
you enter the value, the instrument returns to the “Modify Options” menu. (The
chlorinity menu displays the maximum chlorinity value, 30 grams per liter.)
1.4.7 H2 Compensation Option (Model 32646.E, oxygen sensor only)
As mentioned in the calibration section (section 1.3.3.5), an option is available to
compensate the oxygen sensor for the presence of high H2 levels in samples. If
this option (model 32646.E) is installed on your system, you may highlight “H2
Compensation” under “Modify Options” and press “ENTER” to see this screen:
H2 COMPENSATION
DISABLED ENABLED
“Enabling” this option leads to another menu, where you are asked to enter
expected partial pressure levels of H2 in the sample:
H2 PRESSURE 0000
(MEAS)mbar ^
then press “ENTER” to move to the next digit. (The “(MEAS)” message
distinguishes this menu from a similar-looking menu available in the “Calibration
Pure Hydrogen” routine, section 1.3.3.5.)
Once “H2 Compensation” has been enabled, you must calibrate the oxygen sensor
to assure accurate measurements.
1.4.8 Self Diagnostics
This routine is helpful when you suspect a system malfunction, or if you simply
wish to confirm that the system is in good working order.
Press “ENTER” when “Self Diagnostics” is flashing under “Modify Options” to
bring up this screen:
DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS
SENSOR KEYBOARD
The menu options include “Sensor”, “Keyboard”, and “Memory”.
The “Sensor” diagnostics menu, as shown below, displays the current generated at
the sensor, in nanoamperes.
CURRENT
12.34 nA
This is useful when trying to identify a problem with an Orbisphere service
representative either on-site or over the telephone. A table listing the expected
sensor currents is provided in section 3. Note that the sensor current should never
exceed 35 µA; thus, for several of the listed membranes you must check the
sensor current in air, not in pure oxygen or pure ozone.
The “Keyboard” diagnostics can identify whether the front panel switches are
working properly. You will first see this menu:
WHICH MODE?
MODE 0 MODE 1
“Mode 0” offers a test of the “!” and “"” keys in “continuous” mode. Hold down
either one of those keys, and check to see if the word “UP” or “DOWN”
(respectively) flashes as the key is depressed.
3600.OM.E9909
“Mode 1” tests the “!”, “"”, and “ENTER” keys in “latched” mode. Press one of
those keys individually and release; the LCD should continue to flash the
corresponding word. Pressing “ESC” releases you from this test.
The “Memory” diagnostics uses the RS-232 output to download information about
your instrument to a printer or other data acquisition device. While nothing will
appear on the LCD for this test, the information will be downloaded via the RS-
232 port. The information will appear at the RS-232 output as hexadecimal code,
and can be of use to an Orbisphere representative to check whether your
instrument has been properly configured.
1.4.9 Rolling Average
The “Rolling Average” feature causes the gas concentrations to be averaged over
successive measurement cycles for display or output. It suppresses sharp peaks
and troughs caused by pressure shocks, electrical spikes, flow variations, etc.,
while retaining reasonably fast response to real concentration changes.
Press “ENTER” when “Rolling Average” is flashing under the “Modify Options”
menu to display the following menu.
ROLLING AVERAGE
DISABLED 3 5 7 9
You can choose to disable the rolling average, or enable the feature for averaging
over 3, 5, 7, or 9 successive measurement cycles.
A cycle is completed in one second for the LCD and analog outputs. For example,
choosing “5” lets you see the measurement displayed, or output, as an average of
five measurements made in as many seconds, updated every five seconds.
For the RS-232 digital output, a cycle is completed in four seconds. Thus, in this
example, choosing “5” would give you an average of five measurements made in
20 seconds, and updated every 20 seconds.
1.4.10 Gas To Measure, CO2/H2S Insensitivity (oxygen sensor only)
This menu allows you first to confirm that your instrument is configured for O2 or
O3 measurement, and then to activate either (but not both!) the “CO2 Insensitive”
or “H2S Insensitive” instrument configurations for oxygen sensor measurements.
Pressing “ENTER” while “Gas” is flashing under “Modify Options” first reveals
the “Gas to Measure” menu. You should see either “O2” or “O3” displayed on the
second line, depending on your instrument model (but not both).
GAS TO MEASURE?
O2
For “O2”, the instrument then displays this menu:
CO2 INSENSITIVE
NO YES
This is of interest in carbonated samples where high levels of carbon dioxide
would otherwise interfere with accurate O2 measurement. Pressing “ENTER”
when “YES” is flashing will automatically return you to the “Modify Options”
menu. If you choose “NO”, you are given the opportunity to switch the instrument
to “H2S Insensitive” mode:
H2S INSENSITIVE
NO YES
3600.OM.E9909
Note that operating the oxygen sensor in H2S Insensitive mode requires a different
sensor electrolyte, model 2961, to be used in place of the standard electrolyte. The
instrument reminds you of this requirement by displaying a message “Changed
Electrolyte?” which will flash for five seconds after you have answered “YES” to
this option.
Also, note that when using this mode your system will experience a marked
sensitivity loss, about 50 times greater levels of minimum detectability. That is, if
your membrane listed in section 3 gave a lower limit of, say, 1 ppm, the H2S
Insensitive mode would allow you to measure down to only 50 ppm.
1.4.11 Membrane Selection
Should you need to either confirm your present choice of membrane or select
another, highlight “Membrane” under the “Modify Options” menu and press
“ENTER”. This screen appears:
SELECT MEMBRANE
29552 2956 2958
The complete list of membranes available for the oxygen sensor is 2956, 2958,
29552, 2952, 2995, 2935, and 29521. The list of membranes available for the
ozone sensor is 2956 and 29552. Highlight the membrane model number used on
your sensor, then press “ENTER” to activate your selection. Membrane
characteristics, including recommended flow rates, are listed in section 3.1.
Note: If you select any membrane (even if you reselect the same membrane and
press “ENTER”), you must re-calibrate the sensor, as described in section 1.3.3.
3600.OM.E9909
1.5 Maintenance (Sensor Service)

Normally, only the oxygen or ozone sensor requires service. If the indicating
instrument is properly connected, handled with reasonable care and kept clean, it
should give you no mechanical or electrical problems.
For the sensor, membrane wear and chemical reactions require that a specific
maintenance procedure should be performed from time to time. We cannot dictate
a specific maintenance schedule for your application, since operating conditions
vary considerably. However, experience should make the intervals apparent, using
the guidelines below.
1.5.1 When to Perform a Sensor Service
You will know it is time to perform a sensor service when you experience:
• Difficulties with calibration,
• An unusually long stabilization time, either with the sensor exposed to an air-
saturated medium or to changing gas concentration conditions, or
• Noisy or drifting signals under what you believe to be constant gas
concentration conditions.
The sensor service procedure is as follows (you may also refer to the Orbisphere
poster “The ABC of Sensor Service” for further illustration of this procedure).
1.5.2 Remove Sensor from Sample
When you remove a sensor from either a flow chamber or sensor socket, take care
that no hazard will be created by the absence of the sensor. (In particular, when
using a sensor socket to measure in liquid samples, make sure to drain all liquid
from the pipe.)
Remove the sensor cable by unscrewing the LEMO connector at the end of the
sensor handle. Then, holding the sensor handle in one hand, carefully unscrew the
collar and pull the sensor out of its socket or out of the flow chamber.
Place the sensor in its plastic base, screwing it down securely but not tight enough
to strip the plastic threads. An O-ring in the base provides a watertight seal for the
LEMO-10 connector of the sensor.
1.5.3 Prepare Sensor for Cleaning
Carefully unscrew the protection cap, using the metal
tool supplied with your recharge kit. Take care not to
lose the grill and washers inside. The protection cap
includes washers, and for some applications, a
Dacron mesh and a stainless steel grill—if you are
unfamiliar with these components, check the
exploded sensor diagram in section 1.6.1.
You may want to check the exploded sensor diagram
below and note the order of sensor head components
shown:
Removing
• Membrane holding ring, protection cap
• Mask (optional),
• Membrane, and
• The sensor’s membrane support.
3600.OM.E9909
O2 or O3 sensor components, including exploded view of membrane assembly order

Pry off the membrane holding ring either with
your fingers or, if the ring has a wide outer
groove, with the model 28116 tool included
with your recharge kit.
Take care to avoid contact with the electrolyte
in the sensor. It can irritate skin, so rinse hands
with plenty of tap water during this procedure.
Note too that the electrolyte can permanently
stain clothing, so exercise care in handling.
Removing membrane holding ring
Throw out the membrane (and mask, if
applicable), keep the holding ring, and shake out any electrolyte. Empty and rinse
the electrolyte reservoir with water.
Using the membrane support tool, match
up the prongs of the tool to two of the
holes in the membrane support. Turn
counterclockwise to remove this
support. Note: Each membrane support
is individually machined at the factory
to match its sensor. It is ESSENTIAL
when servicing several sensors at a time
to keep the appropriate membrane Using membrane support tool to remove
support matched to its respective sensor. membrane support
Rinse the membrane support with water.
If discolored, you may elect to clean it with concentrated (approximately 70% by
weight, but no stronger) nitric acid (HNO3) for about 30 seconds, rinsing with
water after the process is completed. The discoloration does not affect
performance, but cleaning permits better viewing of the sensor.
WARNING: Nitric acid is dangerous! Should your skin be exposed to nitric

acid, wash immediately and thoroughly with water.
3600.OM.E9909
1.5.4 Chemical Cleaning

Depending on the appearance of the sensor electrodes you can try either of the
following two cleaning procedures, ammonia or nitric acid cleaning. If the
electrodes appear fairly clean and bright, try the ammonia cleaning procedure; if
very dirty or discolored, use the nitric acid cleaning procedure.
Note: If the following procedures are not closely adhered to, there is a risk of
shortening the useful life of your sensor.
Alternatively, you may use the electrochemical cleaning method described in
section 1.5.5 below.
1.5.4.1 Ammonia Cleaning
Fill the sensor electrolyte reservoir with a solution of 25% by weight ammonium
hydroxide (NH4OH) in water and leave for 10 minutes. Then rinse with water for
at least one minute.
Inspect the sensor head. The counter electrode (anode) should be a uniform,
silver-white color. If it is clean, rinse the electrolyte reservoir with water for a full
minute. However, if the sensor head is still discolored, repeat the above procedure.
If three consecutive cleanings do not produce the desired result, you should use
the nitric acid cleaning procedure described below.
1.5.4.2 Nitric Acid Cleaning
Rinse out the sensor head with water and proceed as follows.
Place concentrated (up to
approximately 70% by weight,
but no stronger) nitric acid
(HNO3) in the sensor
electrolyte reservoir, just
enough to cover the anode
only, not the cathode.
Leave the acid in place for no
longer than 5 seconds. Then Using nitric acid to clean sensor electrode
empty out the acid and rinse Note: Always use protective gloves and goggles!
thoroughly with water.
WARNING: Nitric acid is dangerous! Should your skin be exposed to nitric

acid, wash immediately and thoroughly with water.
If the anode is still not completely clean, alternate between nitric acid and
ammonium hydroxide cleanings.
1.5.5 Electrochemical Cleaning
The model 32301 Sensor Cleaning and Regeneration Center employs an
electrochemical cleaning technique. This method reverses any chemical reactions
that take place in the sensor during normal operation, and easily removes the
electrode deposits that reduce sensor efficiency. The cleaning center also allows a
check of the sensor’s electronics to verify that the system is working correctly. See
the model 32301 operator’s manual for instructions on its proper use. Note that
you must remove the plastic base supplied with the sensor to use the 32301
cleaning center.
Alternatively, you may use the chemical cleaning and polishing method described
in the prior section. That method also works efficiently as a preliminary approach
to the cleaning center’s electrochemical cleaning procedure.
3600.OM.E9909
1.5.6 Polish Sensor Face

After cleaning, screw on the membrane
support, “finger tight”, using its
mounting tool. (Note: The support has
one smooth side with a groove, and one
side that is raised in the center, as
shown. Make sure the smooth side with
a groove faces out when installed.)
Because there is a danger of over
tightening the plastic threads, the sensor Tightening membrane support (note proper
orientation, grooved side “up”)
has a safety feature that causes the
membrane support to “skip” its threads harmlessly if over tightened. Should this
occur, re-tighten with less force.
Place the polishing
cloth in its dish on a flat
surface and shake a
little polishing powder
onto the cloth, adding
enough clean water to
make a loose, watery
mixture.
Holding the sensor Mixing polishing powder and Polishing sensor with
vertically, and using a water on polishing cloth circular motion
circular motion, polish
the sensor face for at least 30 seconds, until the gold cathode is clean and shiny.
(You may need to repeat this step several times.) Make sure to avoid skin contact
with the polishing cloth; keep it free of dust and grease.
Remove the membrane support with its tool, as shown above in section 1.5.3
(taking care not to mix the membrane
support with others in case you are
servicing several sensors at once).
Thoroughly rinse the membrane
support and the sensor to remove all
traces of polishing powder.
Inspect the groove between the gold
cathode and the guard ring electrode
for polishing powder deposits. You
may want to rinse away these deposits Using a jet of distilled water to clean groove
with a strong jet of distilled water. between cathode and guard ring electrode
1.5.7 Final Electrode Cleaning (ozone sensor only)
Once the ozone sensor has been thoroughly cleaned, alternating if necessary
between ammonia and nitric treatments (or electrochemical treatments, if you are
using a model 32301 cleaning center), and the sensor face has been polished, a
final nitric acid treatment should be applied, as follows.
Put a few drops of water in the sensor electrolyte reservoir, just enough to cover
the anode only, not the cathode. The gold cathode must be completely dry.
3600.OM.E9909
Keeping the sensor on its base

and vertical, place a few drops
of nitric acid onto the gold
cathode, sufficient to cover
only the cathode and its guard
ring. Avoid adding enough
nitric acid so that it spills onto
the anode as well.
Using nitric acid to clean sensor cathode
Wait about 15 seconds, then Note: Always use protective gloves and goggles!
rinse thoroughly with water.
WARNING: Nitric acid is dangerous! Should your skin come into contact
with nitric acid, wash immediately and thoroughly with water.
1.5.8 Replace Membrane

Replace the membrane support with its tool—remember, only “finger tight”—and
make sure that the side with a groove faces out when installed.
Fill the sensor head with model 2959 electrolyte
(or model 2961 electrolyte for H2S insensitive
operation, or model 2969 electrolyte for the
ozone sensor) through the membrane support,
using the syringe from your recharge kit.
It helps to tilt the sensor slightly, filling the head
from the lowest of the four holes facing you. Do
this slowly, forcing the air out through the top
hole.
Continue filling, returning the sensor to vertical,
until an overflow of electrolyte adheres to the Filling with electrolyte
surface of the sensor face.
Take out the black plastic membrane mounting tool included with your recharge
kit. Note that the tool is in two parts, a plunger and a hollow, cylindrical guide.
Place the cylindrical guide of the
mounting tool over the sensor head,
around the sensing face so that it
rests on the sensor shoulder.
Place a membrane on the sensor
face and check that it lies flat and is
centered. To avoid air bubbles,
introduce the membrane at an angle
into the guide.
Placing guide on Placing membrane on
If you are using a sensor mask,
sensor sensor face
place it directly on top of the
membrane, in the guide.
Now, pick up the mounting tool plunger. Slide your membrane holding ring onto
the beveled edge of the plunger. Insert the plunger, with holding ring, into the
open hole of the guide, and push down to a stop.
3600.OM.E9909
Placing membrane holding Inserting plunger into Pushing plunger to finish

The membrane is mounted.
Remove both parts of the membrane mounting tool.
Inspect the membrane holding ring to be sure that it’s properly seated and pushed
in all the way, and make sure that the membrane is smooth. If not, you may be
able to complete the process by pushing down with your fingers. If this does not
work, replace the membrane.
Check the O-ring that forms a seal between holding ring and sensor. Replace this
O-ring if the membrane holding ring turns easily.
Check that there are no air bubbles beneath the surface of the membrane. If there
are, you must replace the membrane.
Wash excess electrolyte off the sensor and wipe dry. Then unscrew the black
plastic base, taking care not to get the sensor’s LEMO-10 connector wet.
1.5.9 Put Sensor Back into Service
Re-connect the sensor cable connector to its cable.
Replace the screw-on protection cap. The protection
cap may include washers only, or it may include
Dacron mesh or a water separation filter, and a
stainless steel grille. Please check that these
components are clean and dry before installation. If
you are unfamiliar with these components’ assembly
order, check the diagram shown in section 1.6.1.
Note: Lubricate the Tefzel washers, position 13 in
this diagram, with silicone grease, though take care
not to smear grease on the sensing area of the
membrane. Replacing
Tighten the protection cap finger tight, and then protection cap
secure with an extra 1/8 to 1/4 turn with its metal
wrench, included with your recharge kit.
After giving the membrane at least 30 minutes to relax, calibrate the system (see
section 1.3.3).
Once the sensor has been calibrated, place the sensor back into the sample, using
its collar to secure it into place if appropriate. Your sensor should be ready to
begin making measurements.

All sensors include a screw-on protection cap, available in one of three
configurations. The standard protection cap, model 29104, provides improved
membrane sealing. The other configurations, for “Moist Gases” (model 29107)
and for “Liquids and Dry Gas Samples” (model 29106) also include a stainless
steel grill and either a Dacron mesh or water separation filter. The grill prevents
the membrane from lifting under such harsh conditions as high sample pressures,
or measuring in carbonated samples.

1.7.4 Acquiring Data

To commence data acquisition, while the instrument is making gas measurements,
choose Go from the Terminal menu. You can expect to see a running display like
the following as measurements are received from the instrument:
The number of samples in the buffer will continue to rise until you choose End
from the Terminal menu, or when the limit of 2,000 samples has been reached.
1.7.5 Printing, Copying, and Saving Data
If you have made measurements with the instrument and downloaded them into
the moca3600 program using the Terminal/Go command above, you can print,
copy, and save the sample values as follows.
Printing sample data
The File, Print command will place your list of values into a tabular format, and
send it to your Windows printer. The program asks you to enter “Title” and
“Author” information, as follows. Note that the “Date” is fixed by your operating
system.
The resulting printed list will include this information on each page.
Copying sample data
To copy this list of measurements as tab-separated data to the Windows Clipboard,
choose Export, To Clipboard. This information can then be “pasted” into a
spreadsheet, word processor or any other kind of Windows program that accepts
tabular text information.
Saving sample data
To save this list as a text (“.txt”) file, capable of being recalled by the moca3600
program or imported as a file into other Windows programs, choose File, Save As.
A dialog box appears, with a space to fill in with an eight-letter name. (The
program automatically attaches a “.txt” suffix to these files.) If you have saved
previous files, a “grayed-out” list of these names appears as well. Typical to
Windows programs, “Directories” and “Drives” boxes can be used to locate other
places to save (for example, on a floppy disk); you may also type the drive and
directory yourself when saving the file.

2. Installation Guidelines
This section should provide you with all the necessary information to prepare for
and install your instrument. Note that additional technical information is included
in section 3. If you still have any questions or encounter any difficulties, contact
your Orbisphere representative.
2.1 Indicating Instrument Installation
The series 3600/3600M indicating instrument is available in several versions that
allow different means of mounting, power input, and electrical signal connections.
2.1.1 Panel or 19-inch Rack Mount Instrument Installation
2.1.1.1 Instrument Mounting
The standard panel mount instrument configuration is illustrated below.
3600 series indicating instrument, panel mount version

Note: Include at least 100mm additional rear clearance for cable protrusion.
Use the model 32200 panel mount template as a guide for the necessary panel
cutting and drilling. To use, place the template where you wish to mount the
instrument, and mark the drill holes and cut lines. Your mounting hardware
includes a drill bit; use it to drill the 5.4-mm holes required; then cut the
214.5-mm wide by 125.5-mm high panel hole.
Four self-clinching bolts secure the instrument to the panel. It is easiest to attach
the bottom two bolts first (tightening with the Allen key supplied), guide the
instrument into place, and then fix the top two bolts to finish the procedure. Once
tightened, the self-clinching bolts assure that one person can accomplish future
removal of the instrument.
3600.OM.E9909
A retrofit panel mount (model 32201) is also available. This enables users of
existing Orbisphere analyzers to replace their instruments with the 3600/3600M
series, without additional drilling or panel cutting, as shown below.
3600 series indicating instrument, retrofit panel mount (model 32201)

The instrument can be mounted in a 19" rack, either one- or two-across in a
three-height configuration, as shown:
3600 series indicating instrument, 19" rack mount version, one-across (model 32202)
and two-across (model 32203) methods
As with the panel mount configuration, four self-clinching bolt assemblies secure
the instrument to the rack panel.

• Insert the wire into the connector opening and tighten the screw to hold
the wire firmly in place.
2.1.8 Instrument Servicing
While unauthorized opening of the instrument normally voids the Orbisphere
warranty, it is necessary to open the instrument for wiring connections. The user
also can perform other service procedures, explained below.
Note: Disconnect power from the instrument before opening.
• To open a panel/rack mount or portable instrument, remove the front panel key
and place the instrument face down. Remove the four 3-mm Allen head
screws on the rear panel, and carefully pull off the rear panel, taking care not
3600.OM.E9909
to disconnect any wires. To pull off the orange case, carefully turn the rear
panel so that you can slip the case over the rear panel.
When the service is completed, carefully replace the orange case and rear
panel, and then re-tighten the Allen head screws.
• To open a wall mount instrument, unlock the front panel of the unit with the
key provided to expose the electronics inside.
2.1.8.1 Battery Replacement (portable instrument)
Your portable instrument may give a “LOW BATTERY” message during
measurement, indicating a need to recharge the batteries. If these batteries do not,
after fully charged, maintain their 16-hour autonomy, they must be replaced.
Remove the sealed battery pack by cutting the two plastic ties that hold it in place.
Then, remove the two-wire connection at position J10 on the mother board.
The new battery pack supplies a connection for J10. Secure the battery pack itself
to the aluminum panel, as before, with new plastic ties. You should leave the
instrument plugged in overnight to fully charge the new batteries before making
measurements.
The battery pack (Orbisphere model number 32750) is type G-1600CS nickel-
cadmium, 1.6 A/hr, 5 x 1.2 V cells.
2.1.8.2 Analog Current to Voltage Output Conversion
For instruments with current outputs, you may change the analog output from 0/4–
20 mA current output to 0–5 V voltage output (or vice versa).
The printed circuit board closest to the rear panel, number 1121 for model 3600
instruments or number 1064 for model 3600M instruments, contains the jumpers
for analog current/voltage output. To remove this board, remove the screws on
either side that hold the board in place, and carefully lift it out.
Oriented so the board’s electronic connectors are “down”, locate J2, J4, J6, and J8
by looking for the red-colored jumpers in the center of the board (J6 is present
only with the optional external pressure sensor input).
To convert the analog output from current to voltage, or from voltage to current,
move the red jumpers in these locations as follows:
Jumper positions for J2 – Gas concentration output

Replace the board by placing it back into position and gently pushing it a final
2 mm to make the electrical connection; then reattach the two holding screws.
If you need to change the current output from 0–20 mA to 4–20 mA (or vice
versa), contact your Orbisphere representative.
2.1.8.3 Internal Fuse Replacement
For panel/rack mount and portable instruments, the power supply card is attached
to the inside of the rear panel. For wall mount instruments, the power supply card
is located on the rear panel of the instrument housing.
At position F1 is a black plastic fuse holder. Remove the fuse cover using a thin
coin or a small flat-bladed screwdriver to push down and turn.

2.2 Sensor Installation

The oxygen or ozone sensor may be mounted in a pipe via a sensor socket or
ProAcc, or into a sample by means of a flow chamber, as described below.
The sensor and indicating instrument interface via a 10-pin LEMO connector. The
standard sensor cable length is three meters, but extension cables of up to 500
meters can be provided without any loss in signal sensitivity. If the model 28117
pressure sensor is used, note that its maximum cable length is 50 meters.
2.2.1 Model 29501 Sensor Socket Installation
The model 29501 sensor socket enables the sensor to be installed into any
stainless steel pipe with a diameter greater than 50 mm. The sensor, with
protection cap, extends 28 mm into the sensor socket. When cutting the sensor
socket to fit the radius of your pipe, you should allow for a 4-mm setback between
the inner diameter of your pipe and the top of the sensor.
Sensor socket mounting—side view

Be sure to remove the two O-rings from the sensor socket before pipe welding. In
addition, make sure you re-attach the sensor socket collar (included) before
welding begins. This prevents distortion of metal threads during welding.
Mount the sensor:
• Perpendicular to the pipe;
• Horizontally;
• On a horizontal stretch of pipe (or on flow-ascending vertical pipe); and
• On the pump’s discharge side and, if possible, at least 15 meters downstream.
Do not install sensors on the suction side of a pump, or close to valves or bends in
the pipe. In addition, avoid the installation of sensors near air or carbon dioxide
injection, or it will require the installation of a frit that will guarantee the complete
dissolution of those gases. (There may be locations where not every one of these
conditions can be met. If so, consult with your Orbisphere representative to
determine whether any compromises in installation will result in serious gas
measurement errors or other difficulties.)
3600.OM.E9909
After you have determined the most likely location for the sensor socket, the
following recommendations, although not required, can enhance the versatility of
the installation. In most cases, the sensor socket will be located in a position
where a significant amount of liquid must be drained from the line before the
sensor can be inserted or withdrawn. By creating a meter-long spool piece, as
shown below, with butterfly isolation valves at either end, just a small volume of
liquid need be drained to gain access to the sensor.
It also allows for the critical installation of the sensor socket—where tolerances
within a millimeter are required—to be done in a workshop environment, and
allows the less critical welding of the pipe flanges to be done in the plant.
Spool piece recommendation

2.2.2 Model 32003 ProAcc Insertion/Extraction Valve Installation
The model 32003 ProAcc permits an oxygen or ozone sensor to be inserted or
removed from a pipe while the sample is still flowing. It clamps to a Tuchenhagen
Varivent in-line access unit. (This device is available from the manufacturer to fit
from one- to six-inch outer diameter pipe.) The ProAcc is held in place by a
stainless steel clamp.
Sensor installed in a ProAcc—cross sectional view

Since the sensor is mounted directly in-line, location requirements are as stated
above for the sensor socket (section 2.2.1).
To insert the sensor, screw on the sensor collar until coming to a stop. This places
the sensor in-line. Remove by unscrewing the collar. This valve can withstand line
pressures of up to 20 bars, with or without the sensor in place.
2.2.3 Model 32001 Flow Chamber Installation
The model 32001 flow chamber is used to draw liquid and gaseous samples past
the sensor. It connects to 6-mm or ¼" stainless steel tubing by means of two
Swagelok fittings. If necessary, copper or plastic tubing with very low
permeability can be substituted.
3600.OM.E9909
The stainless steel tubing is usually sufficient to hold the assembly firmly in place,
although a user-supplied U-bolt can mount it to a permanent fixture. The sensor
with flow chamber occupies a volume 210 mm high and 50 mm across. Include an
extra 100 mm for sensor cable access. The flow chamber/sensor assembly should
be mounted either vertically or horizontally, as follows:
Sample Flow Chamber Orientation
Gaseous or Liquid Vertically (sensor uppermost)
Gaseous, with occasional liquid or vapor Horizontally, with outlet valve under inlet, to
allow for drainage
The diagram below shows how to introduce, if required, both span gas and normal
sample media to the flow chamber. Items “A” and “B” represent 3-way valves.
Calibration gas is sent in through the sample “out” port and waste gas is sent out
through the sample “in” port, as shown (left). Back in normal operation (right), the
calibration gas inlets and outlets are shut off.

2.2.4 Model 32002 Multiparameter Flow Chamber Installation
This flow chamber accommodates one or two gas sensors and one pressure sensor.
Most series 3600 systems will only use one gas sensor—in these instances, one
side of the flow chamber will be shut off with one of the two stainless steel plugs
(model 28123) included.
3600.OM.E9909
When mounted, the outlet port should be located at the lowest point to allow
condensation to escape with the outgoing gas. To mount, secure the two threaded
holes at the back of the flow chamber to a vertical surface with the supplied bolts,
so that the pressure sensor and its cable are on top. In this way, the inlet port faces
out, directly opposite the mounting bolts, and the outlet port points downward to
permit liquid drainage.
A “Top View” diagram below gives relevant dimensions. Note that a user-
supplied standoff block can be placed between the flow chamber and wall to
provide operators improved access for sensor removal.
Sample lines can be stainless steel, copper, or plastic tubing with low
permeability, although stainless steel is preferred. When ordered, the flow
chamber must be specified to accommodate either 6-mm or ¼ inch OD tubing.

pressure sensor (center, on top), and optional second gas sensor (left)
2.2.5 Model 28117 External Pressure Sensor Installation
The model 28117 external pressure sensor includes a 1-meter cable, with a 4-pin
LEMO connector, which plugs into the receptacle labeled “pressure” on the
instrument. The maximum extension cable length is 50 meters.
The pressure sensor can be mounted in the model 32002 flow chamber, as shown
in section 2.2.4 above. It is held in place by a threaded aluminum collar.

3.2 Principle of Operation

Orbisphere’s patented polarographic oxygen or ozone sensor is constructed of
metal electrodes immersed in an electrolytic solution. The electrodes are separated
by a gas-permeable membrane from the sample of interest. A guard ring electrode
surrounds the working electrode to shield against the influence of other gases and
improve stability.
The sensor circuitry performs four functions:
• Applying a constant voltage to the anode,
• Measuring the current flowing through the sensor,
• Compensating this current for sample temperature variations,
• Converting these resulting signals into a scaled current or voltage.
The anode is held positive with respect to the cathode. Current flowing through
the sensor due to oxygen or ozone reduction at the cathode is converted to a
voltage by an amplifier, the proportionality between voltage and current being
determined by the feedback resistance of this amplifier.
The output voltage is essentially a function of oxygen or ozone activity (partial
pressure), temperature, and membrane permeability. Corrections for variations in
membrane permeability are made when the sensor is calibrated. The temperature
compensation circuit takes care of temperature variations. Hence, the output
voltage varies only with oxygen or ozone concentration.

Appendix 3 — Ozone Determination Method

Method of Ozone Determination, by Titration with a Reducing Agent, using
the Ozone Analyzer as an Indicator of the End Point
Figure 1 below illustrates the apparatus required for exploitation of this method. A
cylinder of pure oxygen, or of an oxygen-nitrogen mixture, feeds the ozonator,
which converts a fraction of the oxygen into ozone. The magnitude of the fraction
depends upon the flow rate of the gas, as well as the settings of the controls on the
ozonator; hence the flow meter is a necessary element of the apparatus. Although
the fraction can remain constant over the short term, it tends to vary by as much as
±20% over the long term.
Figure 1: Calibration Apparatus for Ozone Analyzer

Needle valves C and D enable some of the O2/O3 mixture to be flushed through
the titration vessel; and by closing first valve A, then valve B, a fixed volume of
this mixture, at a known pressure, can be isolated in the vessel.
Let the volume V be filled with an O2/O3 gas mixture at total pressure Pt. Let the
partial pressures and the mole fractions of the ozone be PO and xO.
PO = xO * Pt
An ozone sensor exposed to the mixture produces a current
IO = k * PO
where k is the sensitivity (µA/bar) of the sensor.
Suppose a volume v of a solution of sodium arsenite (or another reducing agent) at
a concentration C molar equivalents per unit volume, is added to the gas volume.
Since the number of equivalents of arsenite is C * v, the same number of moles of
O3 is removed. Hence, the number of moles of O3 remaining is
nO - C * v
(assuming that nO > C * v)
This ozone is now distributed between the gas and the liquid phases. We need to
know how the gas is distributed in order to calculate the partial pressure of ozone
in the gas phase.
3600.OM.E9909
Assuming equilibrium between the gas and liquid (after completion of the
reaction) and a negligible rate of decomposition of the ozone in the liquid, the
dissolved concentration of O3, CO, is related to the new partial pressure of O3 in
the gas by
CO = SO * P O
where SO is the solubility of ozone in the liquid. So:
nO - C * v = CO * v + (V - v) * PO /(R * T)
total = moles in + moles

moles liquid in gas
of ozone
= PO * [(V - v)/(R * T) + v * SO]
That is:
nO - C * v
PO = ––––––––––––––––
(V - v)
–––––––– + v * SO
(R * T)
The new current I from the ozone sensor is:

k*R*T
–––––– (nO - C*v)
V
I = –––––––––––––––––––––
v
1 - —— (1 - SO*R*T)
V
This is the equation for the relationship between the sensor current and the volume
of the reducing agent added. The unknowns are k, the sensitivity of the sensor, and
nO, the original number of moles of ozone in the volume V.
According to the foregoing equation, it should be possible to construct a straight-
line plot, as shown.
Volume of reducing agent, v

Figure 2: Straight-Line Analysis of Titration Data
3600.OM.E9909
In practice, you will find that experimental data at low volumes of added reducing
agent fit this model, but the data near the end point of the titration are distorted
due to continuous decomposition of ozone in the aqueous phase. It is preferred,
therefore, to make an addition v1 of reducing agent which is well below the final
volume vf = nO / C equivalent to the original ozone. Let the current after this
addition be I1. Then the formula
nO = (C * v1) / {1 - (I1/I0)[1 - (v1/V)(1 - SO * R * T)]}
gives a good estimate of the original number of moles of ozone in the volume V.
The mole fraction xO of ozone in the original mixture is:
xO = nO / Nt
where Nt is the total number of moles of gas (including oxygen and any other
components of the mixture) in the volume.
Nt can be calculated assuming the mixture to be an ideal gas:
Nt = (Pt * V) / (R * T).
Hence xO, and PO = xO * Pt can be calculated. The percentage by volume of ozone
in the original mixture is
100 * xO.
Finally, the sensitivity of the ozone sensor can also be calculated:
k = IO / PO
permitting calibration of the analyzer.
