3 Device description, function
3.1 Amperometric measuring principle
The oxygen molecules that diffuse through the membrane are reduced at the cathode to
hydroxide ions (OH-). At the anode, silver is oxidized to silver ions (Ag+) (this forms a
silver halide 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.

3.3 Membrane body
The oxygen dissolved in the medium is transported to the membrane by the necessary
flow. The membrane is permeable for dissolved gases only. 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.
The sensor is shipped with a standard membrane body, which can be used for all common
applications. The membrane is pretensioned at the factory and can be installed
immediately.
Electrolytes are version-specific and cannot be mixed in a single application!
3.4 Polarization
When the sensor is connected to the transmitter, a fixed voltage is applied between the
cathode and anode. The polarization current this creates can be identified on the
transmitter with a display that is initially high, but decreases with time. The sensor cannot
be calibrated until the display is calibrated.
Reference value for nearly complete polarization of a sensor that was previously stored for
a long time:
• COS22-*1: 2 hours
• COS22-*3: 12 hours
After this time, even measurements close to the determination limit are useful. The
necessary polarization time is reduced for sensors that were in use a short time before.

Calibration and adjustmentOxymax COS22
7 Calibration and adjustment
Calibration is a means of adapting the transmitter to the characteristic values of the
sensor.
Calibration of the sensor is required after:
• Initial commissioning
• Changing the membrane or electrolyte
• Long pauses 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.
7.1 Types of calibration
You can carry out a slope or zero point calibration for the sensor.
In most applications, single-point calibration in the presence of oxygen is sufficient
(=calibration of the sensor slope). When switching from process to calibration conditions,
you have to allow a longer settling time for the sensor.
The additional calibration of the zero point improves the accuracy of the measurement
results at trace concentrations. You can calibrate the zero point using nitrogen (min.
99.995%) or oxygen-free water. Make sure that the sensor is polarized and the measured
value is settled at the zero point (at least 20-30 minutes) to prevent later incorrect
measurements at trace concentrations.
The following describes calibration of the slope in air (saturated with water vapor) as the
easiest and recommended calibration method. However, this type of calibration is possible
only if the air temperature is ≥ 0 °C (32 °F).
7.2 Calibration in air
1.Remove the sensor from the medium.
2.Clean the outside of the sensor with a damp cloth.
3.Allow approx. 20 minutes for the sensor temperature to adapt to the ambient air.
Make sure that the sensor is not exposed to any direct ambient influences (direct
sunlight, drafts) during this time.
4.When the measured value display on the transmitter is stable, carry out the
calibration according to the operating instructions for the transmitter. Pay particular
attention to the software settings for the stability criteria for calibration.
5.Where necessary:
Adjust the sensor.
6.Then insert the sensor into the medium.
Make sure you comply with the instructions for calibration in the Operating
Instructions of the transmitter.

Oxymax COS22Calibration and adjustment

2.
7.3 Calculation 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).
Determine:
• the sensor temperature (air temperature for the calibration type "air", water
temperature for the calibration type "air-saturated water")
• the altitude above sea level
• the current air pressure (= rel. air pressure to sea level) at the time of calibration. (If
undeterminable, use 1013 hPa (407 in H2O)).
• Air calibration at 18 °C (64 °F), altitude 500 m (1650 ft) above sea level, current air
pressure 1009 hPa (405 in H2O)
• S = 9.45 mg/l, K = 0.943, L = 0.996
• Calibration value C = 8.88 mg/l.
You do not need factor K in the table if your measuring device returns the absolute air
pressure L
for calculation is then: C = S . L
(air pressure depending on altitude) as the measured value. The formula
abs
.
abs
7.4 Zero point calibration
The zero point is not so important when working with relatively high concentrations of
oxygen.
This situation changes, however, once oxygen sensors are used at low concentrations and
in the trace range and where they are also to be calibrated in the zero point. Zero point
calibrations are demanding as the ambient medium - usually air - already has a high
oxygen content. This oxygen must be blocked off for zero-point calibration of the sensor.
Calibration with zero-point gel can be used here:
The oxygen-depleting gel COY8 (→ 26) creates an oxygen-free medium for zero point
calibration.
Prior to sensor zero point calibration, check:
• Is the sensor signal stable?
• Is the value displayed plausible?
1.If the sensor signal is stable:
Calibrate the zero point.
2.If necessary:
Adjust the sensor to the zero point.
The reference method (sample calibration in zero point) can also be used here if
appropriate collecting vessels or reference measurement are available.
If the oxygen sensor is calibrated too early, this can result in an incorrect zero point.
Rule of thumb: Operate the sensor in zero-point gel for at least 0.5 h.
If the sensor was already operated in the trace range before the zero point calibration,
the time specified above generally suffices. If the sensor was operated in air,
significantly more time must be factored in to also remove residual oxygen from any
dead volume inherent to the design. Here a value of 2 hours applies as a general rule.

8.2 Sensor polarization
NOTICE
Incorrect measurements due to ambient influences
Be absolutely certain to avoid direct sunlight on the sensor.
‣
Make sure you comply with the instructions for commissioning in the Operating
‣
Instructions of the transmitter.
The sensor has been tested at the factory for proper function and is shipped in ready-tooperate condition.
To prepare for the calibration, carry out the following steps:
1.Pull off the sensor protection cap.
2.Expose the sensor, which should be dry on the outside, to the air atmosphere.
The air should be saturated with water vapor. Therefore, install the sensor as
close as possible to a surface of water. However, the sensor membrane must
remain dry during calibration. Therefore, avoid direct contact with the surface of
water.
3.Connect the sensor to the transmitter.
4.Switch on the transmitter.
When the sensor is connected to the transmitter, the polarization takes place
automatically after the power-up of the transmitter.
5.Wait for the polarization time to run out.
Endress+Hauser19
Page 20
CommissioningOxymax COS22
8.3 Sensor calibration
Calibrate the sensor (e.g. air calibration) immediately after the polarization time runs out.
The calibration intervals depend greatly on:
• The application
• The installation position of the sensor
The following method helps you determine the necessary calibration intervals:
1.Inspect the sensor one month after commissioning. Take it out of the medium and
dry it.
2.After 10 minutes, measure the oxygen saturation index in air.
Decide depending on the result: If the measured value is not 100 ±2 %SAT, you
must calibrate the sensor. Otherwise, double the length of 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.
In any case, calibrate the sensor at least once a year.

MaintenanceOxymax COS22
10 Maintenance
Take all the necessary precautions in time to ensure the operational safety and reliability
of the entire measuring system.
NOTICE
Effects on process and process control
When carrying out any work on the system, take into account possible repercussions
‣
for process control or the process itself.
For your own safety, only use genuine accessories. With genuine parts, the function,
‣
accuracy and reliability are also ensured after maintenance work.
10.1 Maintenance schedule
Maintenance cycles depend to a great extent on the operating conditions.
The following rule of thumb applies:
• Constant conditions, e.g. power plant = long cycles (1/2 year)
• Greatly varying conditions, e.g. daily CIP cleaning = short cycles (1 month or shorter)
The following method helps you determine the necessary intervals:
1.Inspect the sensor one month after commissioning. Take it out of the medium and
dry it.
2.After 10 minutes, measure the oxygen saturation index in air.
Decide depending on the result: If the measured value is not 100 ±2 %SAT, you
must maintain the sensor. Otherwise, double the length of 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 maintenance interval for your sensor.
Particularly in the case of widely fluctuating process conditions, damage may occur to
the membrane even within a maintenance cycle. You can recognize this by
implausible sensor behavior.
10.2 Maintenance tasks
The following tasks are mandatory:
• Clean the sensor and the glass body with anode and cathode (particularly if membrane is
dirty)
• Replacement of wear parts or consumables:
– Electrolyte
– Membrane body
–
– Sealing ring
• Check the measuring function:
1. Remove the sensor from the medium.
2. Clean and dry the membrane.
3. After about 10 minutes, measure the oxygen saturation index in air (without
recalibration).
4. The measured value should be 100 ± 2 % SAT.
• Recalibration (if desired or required)

10.3 Clean sensor
The measurement can be corrupted by sensor fouling or malfunction, e.g.:
• Buildup on the sensor membrane
•
causes longer response times and a reduced slope under certain circumstances.
For reliable measurement, the sensor must be cleaned at regular intervals. The frequency
and intensity of the cleaning operation depend on the measuring medium.
Clean the sensor:
• before every calibration
• at regular intervals during operation as necessary
• before returning it for repairs.
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 shaft and
shaft sleeve (not membrane!)
Dirt particles on the membrane or
membrane body
Clean the sensor shaft and sleeve with water and a suitable brush.
Clean the membrane with water and a soft sponge.
After cleaning, rinse the sensor with copious amounts of clean water.
10.4 Wear parts and consumables
Parts of the sensor are subject to wear during operation. By taking suitable measures, you
can restore the normal operating function.

10.4.1 Replacing sealing rings
The sealing ring must be replaced if visibly damaged. For replacement, use only original
sealing rings.
The following O-rings can be replaced:
• Sealing ring for shaft sleeve: item 4 → 23
• Sealing ring for process: item 8
If the sealing ring on the membrane body (item 5) is damaged, you must replace the entire
membrane body.
10.4.2 Replacing electrolyte
The electrolyte is used up slowly during operation. This is caused by electrochemical
substance reactions. In de-energized state, no substance reactions take place, and the
electrolyte is not used up. The operating time of the electrolyte is shortened by diffusion of
dissolved gases such as H2S, NH3 or high concentrations of CO2.
Theoretical operating time at pO2 = 210 mbar and T=25 ˚C (77 ˚F)
COS22-*1 (standard sensor):> 1.5 years
COS22-*3 (trace sensor):> 3 months
CAUTION
L
The standard electrolyte is a strong irritant
Danger of severe skin and eye irritation
Be absolutely certain to observe the corresponding workplace safety regulations.
‣
Wear protective clothing, gloves and goggles when handling the electrolyte.
‣
In case of eye contact: Remove contact lenses, flush eyes with water for a few minutes
‣
and contact a doctor.
In case of skin contact: Take off wet clothing immediately, wash the skin or take a
‣
shower.
Generally, the following applies:
• Changing the electrolyte is mandatory if the membrane body is detached.
• Sensors operated close to the zero point consume hardly any chemical electrolyte. The
electrolyte does not have to be replaced for a long period.
• Sensors operated at high partial oxygen pressures (> 100 hPa) consume a significant
amount of electrolyte. The electrolyte has to be replaced frequently.
• 25 ml electrolyte are enough to fill the membrane body approx. 15 times.
Draining the electrolyte
1.Remove the sensor from the medium.
2.Clean the outside of the sensor.
3.Hold the sensor vertically and unscrew the shaft sleeve.
The membrane body is either in the shaft sleeve or is still on the glass portion
with the anode and cathode.
4.Remove the membrane body. For this purpose, use the tool provided to push out the
membrane body.
5.Drain the membrane body and flush it with potable water.
Top up the electrolyte and install the membrane body
1.Fill fresh electrolyte from the supply bottle into the membrane body.
2.Remove all air bubbles from the electrolyte by tapping the side of the membrane body
(using a pen or pencil, for example).
3.Hold the sensor vertically and carefully push the membrane body, filled with
electrolyte, on the glass portion.

4.Carefully screw on the shaft sleeve as far as it will go.
After replacing, the sensor must be repolarized and recalibrated. Then insert the
sensor into the medium and check that no alarm is displayed on the transmitter.
10.4.3 Replacing membrane body

10.4.4 Replacing glass body with cathode
NOTICE
Polishing the cathode can cause impaired function or total failure of the sensor.
Do not clean the cathode mechanically.
‣
If the cathode is coated, replace the glass body:
1.Hold the sensor vertically and unscrew the shaft sleeve: item 6 .
2.If the membrane body (item 5) remains on the glass body (item 7) and not in the
shaft sleeve, remove it from the glass body.
3.Flush the glass body, along with the anode and cathode, using distilled water.
4.Pull the used glass body out of the holder.
5.Dry the inside of the electrode holder.
6.Plug a new glass body (from the membrane kit) into the holder so that it fits. Ensure
that you do not damage the electrical contact pins.
7.Fill the membrane body with electrolyte then screw the shaft sleeve back on.
