3.4Installation examples
3.4.1Immersion operation
Upright post and chain assembly
For large basins, where sufficient installation distance is required from the basin edge (aeration
basin, especially), it is advisable to use the upright post and chain assembly. The free swinging of
the immersed assembly practically rules out vibrations from the upright post.
According to this effect, the sensor life time can be extended.
The preferable type of installation for strong or turbulent flow (> 0.5 m/s) in the basin or open
channels is to secure the device to an upright post and a securely mounted immersion tube. If the
flow is very strong, a second transverse pipe can be installed with its own pipe support.
For fixing to the sides of the basin or channel, we recommend the pendulum holder of the
immersion tube. Optionally, you can also use the assembly with a float.
To aid installation in strongly fluctuating water levels, e.g. in rivers or lakes, there is a floating body

5.2Measuring principle
5.2.1Polarization
When the sensor is connected to the transmitter, a fixed external voltage is applied between the
cathode and anode. The resulting polarization current is indicated on the display of the transmitter.
The current starts high but then drops over time. The sensor can only be calibrated when the display
is stable.
5.2.2Membrane
The oxygen dissolved in the medium is conveyed to the membrane by the incoming flow. The
membrane is only permeable for dissolved gases. Other substances dissolved in the liquid phase e.g.
ionic substances, will not penetrate through the membrane. Therefore, medium conductivity has
no impact on the measuring signal.
5.2.3Amperometric principle
The oxygen molecules diffused through the membrane are reduced to hydroxide ions (OH-) at the
cathode. Silver is oxidized to silver ions (Ag+) at the anode (this forms a silver halogenide layer).
A current flows due to the electron donation at the cathode and the electron acceptance at the
anode. Under constant conditions, this flow is proportional to the oxygen content of the medium.
This current is converted in the transmitter and indicated on the display as an oxygen concentration
in mg/l, μg/l, ppm, ppb or Vol%, as a saturation index in % SAT or as an oxygen partial pressure in
hPa.
5.2.4Potentiostatic three-electrode-system
The high-impedance, current-free reference electrode plays an important role.
The formation of a silver bromide or silver chloride coating on the anode uses up the bromide or
chloride ions dissolved in the electrolyte
In the case of conventional membrane-covered sensors working with the two-electrode system, this
causes an increase in signal drift.
This is not the case with the three-electrode system:
The change in bromide or chloride concentration is registered by the reference electrode and an
internal control circuit holds the working electrode potential constant. The advantages of this
principle are significantly increased accuracy of the signal and considerably extended calibration
intervals.
Endress+Hauser19

Device descriptionOxymax COS51D
5.2.5Memosens technology
The sensor is connected to the cable connection (CYK10) without contact. The power and data are
transferred inductively
Once connected to the transmitter, the data saved in the sensor are read digitally. You can call up
these data using the corresponding DIAG menu.
Data that digital sensors save include the following:
• Manufacturer data
– Serial number
–Order code
– Date of manufacture
• Calibration data
– Calibration date
– Calibration values
– Number of calibrations
– Serial number of the transmitter used to perform the last calibration
• Operational data
– Date of commissioning
– Hours of operation under extreme conditions
– Data for sensor monitoring.
5.3Calibration
Calibration is a means of adapting the transmitter to the characteristic values of the sensor.
As normally no zero calibration is required for the sensor, a single-point calibration is carried out in
the presence of oxygen.
Normally, sensor calibration is seldom necessary. It is necessary after:
• First commissioning
• Replacing a membrane or electrolyte
• Cleaning the cathode
• Long breaks in operation without power supply
Within the framework of system monitoring and supervision, for example, the calibration can also
be cyclically monitored (at typical time intervals, depending on operating experience) or renewed.
5.3.1Types of calibration
You can carry out single-point or two-point calibration for the sensor.
In most applications, single-point calibration suffices in the presence of oxygen (=calibration of
measured value at air).
The additional calibration of the zero point (two-point calibration) improves the precision of the
measurement results in the trace range. Calibrate the zero point with nitrogen (minimum 99.995%)
or with water free from oxygen, for example. In doing so, make sure the measured value has settled
correctly (20 to 30 minutes) to avoid incorrect measurements in the trace range at a later stage.
The available types of calibration depend on the transmitter used. Refer to your transmitter's
Operating Instructions to find out which types of calibration are supported.
20Endress+Hauser
Page 21
Oxymax COS51DDevice description
Types of calibration:
• Slope:
– Air (saturated with water vapor, e.g. near the water surface)
– Air-saturated water
– Variable air (entering the current relative humidity and the absolute air pressure)
– Data entry
• Zero point:
– Zero point calibration (nitrogen or water free from oxygen)
– Data entry
You can determine the intervals with the following method:
1.Check the sensor one month after its being put into operation:
– Remove the sensor from the medium.
– Clean the outside of the sensor with a damp cloth.
– Then dry the sensor membrane e.g. by using a tissue.
– Measure the oxygen saturation index at air after 20 minutes.
2.Decide using the results:
a. If the measured value is not at 102 ±2 %SAT, you have to calibrate the sensor.
b. Otherwise, lengthen the time to the next inspection.
3.Proceed as per Point 1 after two, four and/or eight months. In this way, you can determine
the optimum calibration interval for your sensor.
Be sure to calibrate the sensor at least once a year.
5.3.3Calibration in air
1.Remove the sensor from the medium.
2.Clean the outside of the sensor with a damp cloth.
Then dry the sensor membrane e.g. by using a tissue.
3.Then wait while the sensor adjusts to the temperature of the ambient air. This takes about
20 minutes. Check that the sensor is not in direct sunlight during this time.
4.If the measured value display on the transmitter is stable, carry out the calibration in
accordance with the Operating Instructions of the transmitter.
5.Place the sensor in the medium again.
Make sure you comply with the instructions for calibration in the Operating Instructions of the
transmitter.
Endress+Hauser21
Page 22
Device descriptionOxymax COS51D
5.3.4Calculation example for the calibration value
As a check, you can calculate the expected calibration value (transmitter display) as shown in the
following example (salinity is 0).
1.Determine:
– The ambient temperature for the sensor (air temperature for "air" calibration method,water
temperature for "air-saturated water" calibration type)
– the altitude above sea level
– the current air pressure L (=rel. air pressure to sea level) at the time of calibration. (If
undeterminable, use 1013 hPa (407 inH
2.Define:
–the saturation value S acc. to the first table
– the factor K acc. to the second table
• Air calibration at 18˚C (64 ˚F), altitude 500 m (1650 ft) above sea level, air pressure 1009 hPa
(405 inH
O)
2
• S = 9.45 mg/l, K = 0.943, L = 0.996
Calibration value C = 8.88 mg/l.
You do not need factor K from the table if your device returns the absolute air pressure L
(location-dependent air pressure) as the measured value.
Thus, the formula for calculation is: C = S

6.1Function check
Before first commissioning, check if:
• the sensor is correctly installed
• the electrical connection is correct.
If using an assembly with automatic cleaning, check the correct connection of the cleaning agent
(e.g. water or air).
Escaping process medium
Risk of injury from high pressure, high temperatures or chemical hazards
► Before applying compressed air to an assembly with cleaning facility, make sure the connections
are correctly fitted.
► Do not install the assembly in the process if you cannot make the correct connection reliably.
6.2Polarization
Measurement errors due to environmental conditions
► Urgently protect the sensor from strong sunlight.
► Make sure you comply with the instructions for commissioning and calibration in the Operating
Instructions of the transmitter.
The sensor was tested in the factory for perfect functionality and is supplied ready for operation.
To prepare for calibration, proceed as follows:
1.Remove the sensor protective cap.
2.Place the externally dry sensor in atmospheric air. The air should be saturated with water
vapour. Therefore, install the sensor as close to the water surface as possible. When calibrating
the sensor membrane, make sure the membrane remains dry. Therefore, avoid any direct
contact with the water surface.
3.Connect the sensor to the transmitter and switch on the transmitter.
4.Switch-on the transmitter.
If you connect the sensor to the transmitter, polarization is automatically performed after
switching on the transmitter.
5.Wait for the polarization time to end.
6.3Calibration
Calibrate the sensor (calibration type "Air") immediately after it’s polarization.

7Maintenance
Maintenance work must carried out at regular intervals. To ensure that it is carried out, we
recommend you enter the maintenance dates into an operations logbook or in an operations
calendar in advance.
The maintenance cycle primarily depends on:
•the system
• the installation conditions and
• the medium in which measurement is taking place.
The following activities must be carried out:
• Cleaning the sensor
(In particular when the membrane is soiled)
• If necessary, replacing wear and tear materials:
– sealing ring
– electrolyte
– membrane cap
• Check the measuring function:
– Remove the sensor from the medium.
– Clean and dry the membrane.
– After about 10 minutes, measure the oxygen saturation index in air (without recalibration).
– The measured value should be near to 102% SAT
• Recalibration.
7.1Cleaning
The measurement can be corrupted by sensor fouling or malfunction, e.g.:
• Coatings on the sensor membrane
--> cause longer response times and a reduced slope under certain circumstances.
• Soiling or poisoning of the electrolyte
--> causes longer response times and false measurement.
• Coatings on the electrodes
--> cause longer response times and false measurement.
To ensure reliable measurement, the sensor must be cleaned at regular intervals. The frequency and
intensity of the cleaning operation depend on the measuring medium.
7.1.1External cleaning
Clean the outside of the sensor:
• before every calibration
• at regular intervals during operation as necessary
• before returning it for repairs.
Depending on the type of soiling, proceed as follows:
Type of soilingCleaning
Salt depositsImmerse the sensor in drinking water or in 1-5% hydrochloric acid
for a few minutes. Afterwards, rinse it with copious amounts of water.
Dirt particles on the sensor body
(not cap!)
Dirt particles on the membrane cap or the
membrane
Clean the sensor body mechanically with water and a suitable brush.
Clean with water and a soft sponge.
► After cleaning, rinse the sensor with copious amounts of clean water.
For regular automatic sensor cleaning, we recommend equipping the measuring point with a
fully-automatic cleaning system, e.g. Chemoclean (see accessories).

NOTICE
CAUTION
!
7.1.2Cleaning the cathode
The cathode only needs to be cleaned when it is visibly soiled or there is a coating of silver on it.
To clean it, proceed as follows:
1.Unscrew the membrane cap from the membrane body.
2.Carefully clean the cathode surface in two stages with the abrasive sheet (contained in scope
of supply) until the (silver) coating is fully removed. Use the green sheet first and then the
yellow sheet.
3.Clean the open sensor head with drinking or distilled water.
4.Fill the membrane cap with fresh electrolyte COY3-F and screw it back onto the membrane
body (up to the stop).
Sensor is unusable (anode and/or reference electrode is/are silver) and must be sent in for recoating
► Do not clean anode and/or reference electrode under any circumstances!
► If the coating is removed as a result of operation: Contact your sales office.
7.2Replacing wear and tear materials
Parts of the sensor will suffer wear and tear during operation.
Suitable action can restore normal operating functionality. This action includes:
ActionCause
Replacing the sealing ringvisual damage to a sealing ring
Replacing the electrolyteunstable or implausible measuring signal or electrolyte soiling
Replacing the membrane capuncleanable membrane, damaged membrane (hole or overstretch)
7.2.1Replacing the sealing ring
The sealing ring must be replaced if visibly damaged. For replacement, use only original sealing
rings.
7.2.2Replacing the electrolyte
The electrolyte COY3-F is slowly used up during measuring operations. The cause of this is
electrochemical substance reactions. No substance reactions occur in de-energised state and the
electrolyte is not used up.
The theoretical service life of an electrolyte filling for use in air-saturated drinking water at 20 ˚C
(68 ˚F) is as follows:
• COS51-****0: 5 years
• COS51-****1: 1 year
The electrolyte life is shortened by diffused, dissolved gases such as H
of CO
.

.Display near to 0 mg/l (0% Sat)
1.Fill a large beaker (1.5 - 2 l) with approx. 1 l of water.
2.Pour a cap-full of the zero solution into the water.
3.Immerse the sensor into the water and wait a sufficient period of time (15 min. for oxygen
depletion).
The display drops to around 0 mg/l (0 %SAT).
After 10 minutes:
approx. 102% SAT
Depending on the conditions (contact surface water/air), the zero solution is stable for up to 12
hours.
If there are deviations from the reference values, follow the troubleshooting instructions or
contact your sales office.
