2.3General principle of operation
Optical sensing of oxygen originates from the work of Kautsky in 1939 where he demonstrated
that oxygen can dynamically quench the fluorescence of an indicator (decrease the quantum
yield). This principle has been reported in various fields of application such as monitoring
aquatic biology in waste water, tests for blood gas analysis and cell culture monitoring. The
method is now recognized by ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) for the
measurement of oxygen in water. Compared to classical oxygen detection using
electrochemical sensors, luminescent technology offers several advantages such as no oxygen
consumption, independence from sample flow velocity, no electrolyte and low maintenance.
Optical sensing of oxygen is based on the measurement of the red fluorescence of a
dye/indicator illuminated with a blue light as shown in Figure 1.
Specifications
Figure 1 Principle of optical oxygen detection using fluorescent dye
The dye fluorescence is quenched by the presence of oxygen. The oxygen concentration can
be calculated by measuring the decay time of the fluorescence intensity as shown by Figure 2
left. The higher the oxygen concentration is, the shorter the decay time will be. By modulating
the excitation, the decay time is transformed into a phase-shift of the modulated fluorescence
signal, which is independent of fluorescent intensity and thus of potential aging (Figure 2 right).
Figure 2 Fluorescence decay time (left) and modulated signals (right)
15
Page 18
Specifications
The oxygen partial pressure (pO2) is then linked to the corresponding phase-shift measurement
(Φ) to build the sensor calibration curve (shown right in Figure 3). This curve is described by the
Stern-Volmer equation (shown left in Figure 3) where K
-1
mbar
) representing the quenching efficiency of the oxygen and thus the sensor sensitivity, f0 is
a constant and Φ
is the phase-shift at zero oxygen representing the unquenched fluorescence
0
is the indicator quenching constant (in
sv
decay time of the dye. The calibration curve thus relies on two parameters: the phase-shift at
zero oxygen and the luminescent spot sensitivity, K
. The dissolved oxygen concentration is
sv
then calculated with Henry’s law using the water solubility curve as a function of the
temperature.
2.4Hardware description
The instrument hardware is made of one main board, and one measurement board for the
measurement channel (= the sensor).
The main board includes the controls for power, display, the touch screen, the barometric
sensor, the alarms, and communication ports. The measurement board performs measurements
and executes commands from the main board. It holds the "Analog output" and "Relays" that
send information to external systems.
A hardware watchdog is activated at program start up, to check that the system is not frozen
(i.e. infinite loop, system crash, etc.). If the watchdog is not refreshed by the software every
minute, the measurement display, the relays and the analog output are frozen up to 2 minutes.
Then the reset shuts down the instrument for 10 seconds and the start-up procedure is
performed. At the same time all the hardware (sensor, measurement board) are reset.

Installation
3.2Installation check list
For a complete installation, proceed to the following actions following the instructions in this
manual very carefully:
1. Install the 410 analyzer (section 3.3 on page 23 through section 3.8 on page 34).
2. Install the sensor in the sample pipe or flow chamber and connect it to the instrument
(section 3.9 on page 35).
3. Turn the instrument on and set the operating language (section 13.2 on page 95).
4. Set the security levels, users ID’s and passwords (Section 10 on page 87).
5. Verify that the sensor cap selected (i.e. low or high range: K/M1100-L or K/M1100-H)
corresponds to the sensor in use (section 6.2 on page 52).
6. The measurement liquid is set by default to water for the K1100 and M1100 high range
sensors, and beer for the M1100 low range sensor. For the M1100 low range sensor,
change this to water if the sample being measured is not beer (section 6.2 on page 52).
7. Enable thermal cutoff and set it to the minimum possible value (e.g. 10°C if the liquid in the
sample line is at 0-5°C). This is critical to ensure long-term stability (section 6.2 on
page 52).
8. Set the measurement interval according to your response time needs (section 6.2 on
page 52).
9. Enable the calibration timer and set the number of days to 180 days (6 months) or
according to your quality needs (section 13.2 on page 95), to ensure a regular sensor
calibration.
10. Enable the service timer and set the number of days to 360 days (1 year) or according to
your quality needs (Service timer on page 95), to ensure a regular sensor service.
11. If required, program the relay and analog outputs to ensure an event is set when a
calibration or service is required. These can be programmed for each as custom events
(Section 8 on page 61). Note that when a calibration or service timer has expired, the
instrument will automatically display this information as a warning message (see the table
entitled List of Events on page 101).
As the system is factory calibrated and does not require an initial calibration (refer to Calibration
Menu on page 55 for more details), the instrument and sensor should now be ready for
operation. If a problem should arise, please refer initially to Troubleshooting on page 99. If the
difficulty cannot be overcome, please contact your Hach Lange representative who will be
happy to assist you.

3.5Connectors assembly instructions
Potential Electrocution Hazard. In order to maintain the NEMA/IP environmental
ratings of the enclosure, use only conduit fittings and cable glands rated for at least
NEMA 4X/IP65 to route cables into the instrument.
3.5.1 Cable gland wiring instructions
A waterproof cable gland is provided each time a cable must be connected inside the
instrument. The nickel-plated brass cable glands are EMC-types, designed so that the cable
shields attach directly to the instrument housing as a ground. Typical cable wiring instructions
are detailed below.
Installation
WARNING
Gland parts (washers not shown):
1. Nut
2. Rubber gasket (seal)
3. Gland fitting with O-ring (attached to
instrument housing)
1. Unscrew the cable gland nut. Inside, the assembly is composed of a rubber gasket, and two
metal washers. Note that the ethernet gland on panel and wall mount instruments does not
have washers and the gasket is cut.
2. If wiring a sensor cable, the cable has already been prepared so simply remove the piece of
plastic protection from the exposed shielding.
For other cables, strip off external insulation as required, and 25 mm of shielding. Strip the
wires about 8 mm from their ends (see illustration below).
3. Pass the cable through the nut, the rubber gasket, and the two washers
4. Pinch the shield so that its entire circumference is pressed between the two washers and
pass the cable into the housing, blocking the cable gland
NOTICE
It is vitally important to ensure the shielding is pinched and secured between the two washers
to ensure the shielding attaches directly to the instrument housing as a ground. Failure to do
this could cause damage to the instrument, and for sensor cables give incorrect readings.
5. Reattach and tighten the cable gland nut
6. Attach the wires to the corresponding terminal block connections

3.9Sensor installation
3.9.1 Sensor positioning information
The sensor must be installed in a socket or flow chamber that allows contact with the sample
fluid to be analyzed.
The sensor and measuring instrument are connected by a cable. The standard sensor cable
lengths are 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 meters.
Ensure that the sensor will be mounted:
•perpendicular to the pipe
•horizontal
•on a horizontal pipe section (or on flow-ascending vertical pipe)
•minimum of 15 meters away from the pump's discharge side
•in a place where the sample flow is stable and rapid, and as far as possible from:
•valves
•pipe bends
•the suction side of any pumps
•a CO
Note: There may be situations where not all the above conditions can be met. If this is the case, or you
have any concerns, please consult your Hach Lange representative to appraise the situation and define the
best applicable solution.
injection system or similar

Installation
3.9.2 Recommended sample flow rate
For optimal response time, the recommended sample flow rate for both the K1100 and M1100
sensors is 150 mL/min.
Control the flow with the outlet valve on the flow meter (No. 3 in Figure 20 below) to avoid foam
developing inside the flow chamber which could lead to erroneous oxygen measurement values.
Figure 20 Typical measurement schematic
1. Valve to redirect sample for measurement 3. Flow meter with outlet valve
2. Sensor and flow chamber combination4.Drain
3.9.3 Sensor insertion
•Insert the sensor straight into the flow chamber or socket. Do not twist the sensor.
•Hand tighten the attaching collar.
•Connect the sensor cable.
•Check for leaks; replace O-rings if product leaks are visible.
35
Page 38
Installation
3.9.4 Sensor removal
•If not using the ORBISPHERE 32003 insertion/extraction valve (see details in The 32003
insertion/extraction valve on page 37) you will need to shut off the sample flow and drain the
sampling circuit of liquid.
•Remove the sensor cable connected at the sensor end.
•Hold the sensor body in one hand to avoid rotation, and unscrew the collar with the other
hand.
•Pull the sensor straight out of the socket or flow chamber.
•Install sensor storage cap and sensor base (to protect the connection).
3.9.5 Weld-on stainless steel socket
The ORBISPHERE 29501 weld-on sensor socket can be used to install a sensor into a stainless
steel pipe (min.Ø 50 mm or 2”). When welding the socket to the pipe, check that setback
between the pipe’s inner diameter and the sensor tip does not exceed 4 mm (see diagram).
Figure 21 Weld-on sensor socket
Note: Be sure to remove the two O-rings from the socket before welding and leave the sensor’s stainless
steel cap screwed on during welding to prevent thread distortion.
Recommendation:
To facilitate sensor removal and installation, we suggest installing the socket in a location where
the liquid can be drained quickly and easily. By creating a one meter long piece of pipe (see
Figure 22) with shut off valves at both ends, just a small volume of liquid needs to be drained to
enable sensor removal.
Also, a precise sensor and socket installation can be performed in the workshop, and this
assembly can be placed in the production line with minimal down time.
Figure 22 Installation in-line
36
Page 39
3.9.6 The 32003 insertion/extraction valve
The ORBISPHERE 32003 insertion/extraction valve (illustrated below) allows for sensor
removal and installation without having to drain the fluid in the line. It can withstand a pressure
of up to 20 bars, with the sensor in place or not.
Sensor insertion is made by inserting the sensor into the housing and tightening the retaining
collar until it stops. As the retaining collar is tightened, the valve will open to allow the sample to
flow past the sensor head. Remove the sensor by unscrewing the collar and pulling the sensor
out. As the collar is unscrewed, the valve will automatically close to avoid any sample spillage.
Installation
Figure 23 ORBISPHERE model 32003 insertion/extraction valve
The diagram above right, shows the sensor in a sample line with the valve open.
Note: This insertion/extraction valve is only available for the M1100-S00 sensor and cannot be used with
the M1100-S10 sensor.
3.9.7 The 33095 and 33096 sensor housing
Two other types of sensor housing are available for use with the M1100 sensor but require that
the sample flow be turned off prior to insertion or removal of the sensor.
These are the ORBISPHERE 33095 housing (for use with the M1100-S00 sensor) and the
ORBISPHERE 33096 housing (for use with the M1100-S10 sensor).
Sensor insertion is made by inserting the sensor into the housing and tightening the retaining
collar until it stops. Removal is made by unscrewing the collar and pulling the sensor out. Be
sure that the sample flow has been turned off before inserting or removing the sensor.
Note: The M1100-S10 sensor has a PG-13.5 12 mm diameter fitting and can be inserted directly into any
existing compatible fitting.
3.9.8 Tuchenhagen Varivent® in-line access unit
The following illustration shows the Tuchenhagen Varivent® In-Line Access Unit.
Figure 24 Tuchenhagen Varivent® in-line access unit
Purchasing a Tuchenhagen Varivent® in-line access unit, or an equivalent fitting with a 68 mm
flange diameter from the fitting manufacturer, is required to make use of the ORBISPHERE
model 32003, 33095 or 33096 sensor housing devices detailed above.

Installation
3.9.9 Instrument connections
The sensor is supplied with a cable having a LEMO connector at both ends. One end is
attached to the sensor and the other to the instrument. An illustration of the M1100-S10 sensor
with the cable attached is illustrated below:
A red dot can be seen on each LEMO connector and on both the sensor and instrument
sockets. Be sure to line up these red dots when connecting the cable to the sensor and
instrument. The LEMO connector can then simply be pushed into place.
Refer to the illustration of the connector panels for the correct instrument socket to attach the
cable (see Figure 7 on page 25 for the wall and pipe mount instruments and Figure 11 on page
28 for panel instruments).
3.10 Calibration devices
3.10.1 Portable calibration device
38
Figure 25 Portable calibration device
The portable calibration device (part number 33088 illustrated above) is ideal for calibrating the
sensor close to its location in the sample. For calibrating a M1100-S10 sensor, insert the
supplied adapter (No. 1 in Figure 25) into the sensor holder on top of the device.
The device is designed to hold a 1 liter gas cylinder (as shown above), but is fully compatible for
use with other kinds of gas cylinders. When using other types of gas cylinders, simply connect
the gas supply to the Swagelok™ connector (No. 2 in Figure 25), and make sure that the inlet
gas pressure does not exceed 2 bars absolute.
Page 41
The gas bottle is not supplied and must be purchased locally. To ensure the calibration works
correctly, the calibration gas bottles must be of 99.999% (50) quality or better. Bottles containing
34 liters of compressed gas, with a 5/8-18 UNF (C10) fitting are compatible with the hand-held
calibration device and recommended for this purpose.
Empty gas bottles are easily removed from the device. Simply unscrew the small black screw
(No. 3 in Figure 25) a few turns, slide the bottle out of the black plastic holder, and unscrew the
bottle from the pressure reducer. Follow this same procedure in reverse order to install a new
bottle.
3.10.2 ORBISPHERE flow chambers
Note: This is the recommended option for the K1100 sensors.
The ORBISPHERE flow chambers are used to draw the calibration sample past the sensor.
They connect to 6-mm or ¼" stainless steel tubing by means of two Swagelok™ fittings. If
necessary, copper or plastic tubing with low permeability can be substituted.

5.1Selection of the view style
Numeric view
This is the default view. Display shows the numeric measurement value identified for the gas
measurement channel, a graphic showing measurement value evolution during the set time
frame, and sample temperature.
The display is refreshed after each measurement cycle (2 seconds).
This display can be configured to suit individual conditions and convenience.
Both the K1100 and M1100 low range sensors measure dissolved oxygen up to a maximum value of
2,000 ppb. Should the measured concentration go above this value a warning screen will be displayed
and the measurement cycle increased from 2 to 60 seconds.
The “> 2.0 ppm” value will blink alternately with an “Out of range” message. An arrow symbol to the right
indicates if the value is increasing, decreasing or remaining constant.
Once the value falls below the 2,000 ppb value, then the measurement cycle returns to a 2 second
interval.
For K1100 and M1100 high range sensors, the above also applies but the maximum value measured is
40 ppm. Therefore the out of range message will display “> 40 ppm” which is suppressed when the
measured value falls below 40 ppm.
Diagnostic view
The diagnostic view contains useful information for troubleshooting purposes.
Statistic view
This feature offers statistical data that matches with Total Quality management tools. Statistics is a tool
to better analyze how a process behave. The 410 statistics window gives some useful information.
The statistics are calculated from the data in the measurement file. The values are updated each time a
new value is added to this file. Therefore the changes made in the configuration window are considered
only once a new value is added.
Cp process capability
Cp is an index used to assess the width of the process spread in comparison to the width of the
specification. It is calculated by dividing the allowable spread by the actual spread.
•A Cp of one indicates that the width of the process and the width of the specification are the
same.
•A Cp of less than one indicates that the process spread is greater than the specification. This
means that some of the data lies outside the specification.
•A Cp of greater than one indicates that the process spread is less than the width of the
specification. Potentially this means that the process can fit inside the specification limits
CPk process variability
Cpk takes into account the center of the data relative to the specifications, as well as the variation in
the process.
•A Cpk value of one indicates that the tail of the distribution and the specification are an equal
distance from the overall average.
•A Cpk of less than one means that some of the data is beyond the specification limit.
•A Cpk greater than one indicates that the data is within the specification.
•The larger the Cpk, the more central and within specification the data.
48
CPm process repeatability
Capability index that takes into account variation between the process average and the target. If the
process average and the target are the same value, Cpm will be the same as Cpk. If the average
drifts from the target, Cpm will be less than Cpk.

Measurement configuration
•Sensor: Sensor model.
•Medium: Liquid or gas phase.
•Gas unit type: Partial, Fraction, Dissolved.
•Gas unit: The list of available units depends on unit type selected above.
Note: This is the gas concentration measured by the sensor. When a composite unit is selected (e.g.
ppm-ppb) the unit will change depending on the range of the value to display.
•Liquid: For the K1100 sensor this option is locked on water. For the M1100 low range sensor, choose
between water and beer. For the M1100 high range sensor, choose between water, beer, wort, wine
and carbonated drink.
•Display resolution: Maximum resolution depends on gas, membrane and unit. A maximum of 5
digits can be displayed. Decimals can be limited to 0, 1, 2 or 3 decimals for easier reading. That does
not affect the actual resolution of data measured and stored, but only the data displayed.
•Thermal cutoff: To protect the sensor, the thermal cutoff function allows for setting a sample high
temperature limit. If exceeded (during a Cleaning In Place cycle for example) the electrical signal to
the sensor is cut off, the measurement session is suspended and the system displays a “HOT” alarm
message. The system resumes when temperature drops to 90% of the specified cutoff temperature.
•Thermal cut off: It is recommended to enable this feature to maximize sensor life and system
performance.
•Thermal cut off temperature: Set to 5°C above sample temperature e.g. if sample temperature
is 2°C, set thermal cut-off to 7°C.
Measurement advanced configuration
Important Note: The offset feature described below should be used for minor measurement adjustments
only, and not as an alternative to a sensor calibration. Make sure your sensor has been correctly
calibrated before applying this feature.
•Offset enabled: Check this box to enable the user measurement offset option. If checked enter an
offset value or a target value:
•Offset value: Enter an offset value to manually adjust (increase or decrease) the current
measurement value. If the gas unit type or gas unit (defined in the main measurement
configuration screen) are changed, the offset value is automatically reset to zero.
•Measurement: This field cannot be updated. It shows the current measurement value with the
offset value applied.
•Target value: Enter a target measurement value. The offset value is then automatically
computed so that the displayed measurement value will be equal to the target value.
•Compute offset: Use this button to recompute the offset value at any time during the
measurement process. The offset value will be computed based on the current and target
measurement values.
•Out of range protection: Enabled by default. When enabled and the measured value exceeds the
instrument specification, the measurement interval will be increased to 1minute to protect the lifetime
of the sensor spot. If disabled, the lifetime of the spot can be negatively impacted if the sensor is
exposed to high oxygen concentrations for long periods of time.
•Measurement interval: This parameter defines the interval for refreshing the measurement value on
the display. Set the value to between 2 and 60 seconds, according to your response time

Measurement alarms configuration
Set the thresholds for the low/high concentration levels, according to the application. Each alarm type
can be individually enabled or disabled without losing its settings.
These events can activate the relays and can be displayed.
•Low-low: 2nd stage for too low concentration
•Low: 1st stage for too low concentration
•High: 1st stage for too high concentration
•High-high: 2nd stage for too high concentration
•Hysteresis: A percentage of the above concentration values. The hysteresis is used to prevent relay
“flickering” when the measurement is just at the alarm levels. Set this to a minimum, but enough to
eliminate flickering.
As an example, if the High Alarm is set to 40 units and the Hysteresis is set to 10%, then the High
Alarm is activated once the measurement reaches 40 units, but only deactivated once the
measurement drops below 36 units. With the Low Alarm the opposite is true, in that if the Low Alarm
is set to 20 units and the Hysteresis set to 10%, then the Low Alarm is activated when the
measurement drops below 20 units, and deactivated when the measurement rises above 22 units.
•Delay: The delay in seconds, before alarms go on whenever concentration values go above ”High
alarms” or below “Low alarms”. Set this to a minimum value, but enough to avoid alarms for
non-representative peaks beyond the set level.
Figure 37 Alarms system diagram
Measurement filter configuration
The filters are aimed at “flattening” the measurement curve in situations where the process shows
atypical peak values that could otherwise hamper the interpretation of measurement readings. The filter
is applied on the last set of measurements each time a measurement is taken.
•Mean: Mathematical average of the last set (depth) of measurement values.
•Median filter: Allows for eliminating atypical peak measurement values, and average the remaining
ones. The calculation sorts the last measurements set (depth) by values, then delete the highest and
lowest values, and averages the remaining values (central depth).
Example for depth 7, central depth 5:
Sorted values, both ends eliminated, the average of the center five is then 3.88.
0.7 - 1.1 - 4.0 - 4.3 - 4.4 - 5.6 - 7.0
Example for depth 5, central depth 3:
Sorted values, both ends eliminated, the average of the center three is then 4.23.
1.1 - 4.0 - 4.3 - 4.4 - 5.6
Example for depth 8, central depth 4:

6.3Measured data storage
Measured data storage
There is one measurement file which contains the data generated by the measurement cycle. The
measurement files are updated in volatile memory, and regularly copied in non-volatile memory (file
back-up). At start up, the measurement files in volatile memory are updated with the files from the
non-volatile memory.
Note: When the measurement file is full, it is managed as a First in-First out buffer.
This dialog box allows adjustment of the parameters for recording and storing measurements.
Storage modes:
•No storage
•Store once: When the volatile memory is full (1,000 positions), the recording of measurement stops
•Rolling buffer: When the volatile memory is full, the latest measurement set replaces the oldest one
continuously (first-in, first-out)
Note: Data stored in volatile memory are lost when instrument is off, non-volatile memory is permanent.
In case of an accidental power off event, the instrument resumes measurement storage after the last
measurement stored in flash.
•RAM time (volatile memory): Delay in seconds between two recordings of measured data.
•FLASH time (non-volatile memory): Delay in seconds between two data file transfers from volatile
memory into non-volatile memory. The last data file erases the previous one. This field is only
available if the Auto save in flash box is checked.
•Save in flash now: Press this button to store measurement data in flash (non-volatile memory)
immediately. After pressing this button, press OK to initiate the process. A warning screen appears
informing you that the operation can take up to 30 seconds. Press Yes to continue with the process,
or No to abort.
•Auto save in flash: Check this box to save measurements in flash (non-volatile memory)
automatically. Measurements are saved at regular time intervals as defined in the FLASH time box.
•Start logging measurement: Store once mode. Starts and stops the measurement recording
session. Measurement recording is stopped when the buffer is full.
•Purge data: Clear all data for all channels in the volatile and non-volatile memories.
•Open data: Opens a table showing the measured values which are stored in the volatile memory
(RAM). Use the scroll bar at the right to move to another data range (the id range will be shown in the
title bar). The page number being viewed and the total number of pages are shown at the bottom.

Calibrations can only be performed once the instrument has been installed, configured, and the
channel has been set up. You must also ensure that you have the correct access rights to

7.1Sensor calibration
Sensor calibration
The sensor can be calibrated manually on an ad hoc basis. By default, the mode is set to zero calibration
with auto-end (see Calibration configuration on page 57 for more details), but these parameters can be
changed.
For higher level concentrations (above 1% oxygen which corresponds to about 400 ppb dissolved O
high level adjustment can be performed using a gas mixture containing more than 1% oxygen, or a
known line sample. However, this should not be done without first ensuring the zero point is accurate.
This can be achieved by performing a zero calibration first.
Low range sensors: (K1100-L and M1100-L spots)
There are two calibration modes available - zero or high level adjustment. The sensor is factory
calibrated at zero. During use, the zero calibration is the best calibration to guarantee the sensor
specifications. After a spot replacement, a zero calibration is recommended.
High range sensors: (K1100-H and M1100-H spots)
There are three calibration modes available - zero, high level adjustment or in 100% humid air.
The sensor is factory calibrated at zero and in 100% humid air. During use, humid air calibration is
the best calibration to guarantee the sensor specifications. After a spot replacement, a zero
calibration and a 100% humid air calibration are recommended.

Initial sensor calibration
The sensor has been calibrated at the factory prior to shipment and is ready for use upon delivery.
However, if the sensor has not been used for a period of more than six months since delivery, or if the
sensor spot has been replaced or changed in any way, then a sensor calibration will be required.
Select the Configuration option from the Gas sensor calibration menu to check the calibration
parameters.
Ensure the parameters are set up as follows:
•Auto-calibration: This option is not available for the K1100 and M1100 sensors.
•Manual-calibration Auto-End: On by default.
•Hold during c alibration or verification: On by default.
•Interferences enabled during cal: Ensure this is disabled by unchecking the box.
•Zero calibration bottle: Ensure this is disabled by unchecking the box as it is not relevant for the
K1100 and M1100 sensors.
Exit from the configuration screen by pressing on OK. Then select Calibration from the Gas sensor
calibration menu and perform a manual zero calibration as described in Zero calibration on page 58. For
high range sensors perform an additional 100% humid air calibration as described in 100% humid air
calibration (high range sensors only) on page 58.
Manual calibration
Manual calibrations can be made at any time. Perform a calibration by following these steps:
1.Remove the sensor from the sample line.
2.Rinse the sensor head with clean water.
3.Wipe the sensor head with a clean soft tissue to remove any excess moisture.
4.If using the supplied calibration device (see Portable calibration device on page 38), insert the
sensor into the sensor holder on top of the calibration device. If not using the calibration device,
insert the sensor into the flow chamber.
5.Flow the calibration sample through the calibration device or flow chamber as applicable. If using the
calibration device, fully open the valve on the pressure reducer to give a gas flow rate of 0.1 L/min. If
you are not using the supplied calibration device with pressure reducer, the maximum allowable
inlet pressure must be no more than 2 bar absolute.
6.Configure the calibration as described in Calibration configuration on page 57.
7.Start the calibration as described in Zero calibration on page 58, 100% humid air calibration (high
range sensors only) on page 58, or High level adjustment on page 58 depending on the preferred
calibration method.

Calibration configuration
This option can be invoked directly from the main calibration menu by selecting the Configuration
option, or by pressing the Modify button in either the zero calibration or high level adjustment screens.
The process sets all the parameters used for sensor calibration.
•Auto-calibration: This option is not available for the K1100 and M1100 sensors.
•Manual-calibration Auto-End: On by default. When enabled, a manual calibration will complete
automatically when the parameters defined in Stop parameters are reached. Press on Configure to
set the manual calibration parameters (see Configure manual calibration on page 57 for details). If
the calibration fails, the previous calibration parameters remain unchanged and a warning message
displayed.
•Hold during calibration or verification: On by default. This keeps the last measured value and
stops updating the outputs during the calibration or verification process. This avoids sending invalid
information to any connected device. At the end of a calibration, this hold remains for a further 10
minutes to allow the system to stabilize.
•Interferences enabled during cal: Off by default. This option enables the Chlorine or Salt
interference during calibration and verification. This option must be used if there is chlorine in the
calibration solution and if the chlorine interference correction is enabled during measurement.
•Zero calibration bottle: Ensure this is disabled by unchecking the box as it is not relevant for the
K1100 and M1100 sensors.
If the Stop parameters button is pressed on the main configuration screen, you can view or change the
existing values, or restore the default values.
It is highly recommended to leave these parameters at their default values and not change them.
These values apply to manual calibrations with the Auto-End parameter set.
•Start period: is the minimum time period that must elapse before measurements are considered
valid.
•Number of points: is the minimum number of measurements that must be taken.
•Stop criteria: is the maximum allowable signal standard deviation value to ensure an accurate
calibration.

With this method, the sensor should be removed from the sample and exposed to pure N2 gas. It is
recommended to use the specially designed portable calibration device for this purpose (see also
Calibration devices on page 38).
Press Start to start the calibration.
A screen is displayed showing the measured values and length of time the sensor has been under
calibration. These values are continually refreshed.
The value % last calibration displayed in the top box is an informational message showing the
difference between the current and previous sensor calibrations.
The Signal within range and Stability reached boxes in the top right corner indicate whether the
calibration is within acceptable limits. When both boxes indicate YES, press Finish to accept the new
calibration. A confirmation screen then asks to accept and store the new parameters.
If one or both boxes show NO, you can still perform a calibration but it is not recommended, and the
calibration should be aborted by pressing the Cancel button.
In the case of a calibration failure, attempt a second calibration after about 5 minutes. If the second
attempt also fails, then refer to your Hach Lange representative for advice.
Note: If the Auto-End parameter is set (see Calibration configuration on page 57), then the calibration will
be deemed successful when the parameters defined in Stop parameters are met. You will then be asked
to confirm the calibration.
If you have not accepted or cancelled the calibration after an elapsed time of 10 minutes then the
process will time-out, and a warning message will be displayed.
7.4100% humid air calibration (high range sensors only)
In 100% humid air calibration
With this method, the sensor should be removed from the sample and exposed to air saturated with
humidity. Do this by putting a drop of water in the calibration cap before installing the cap on the sensor.
Press Start to start the calibration. The process is then the same as for the zero calibration described
previously.

On completion a calibration report is created.
7.8Calibration reports
Calibration reports
Once a calibration is completed (for a gas or pressure sensor), the calibration report is updated with the
new details. The calibration report contains data for the last 10 calibrations.
For full details on the data displayed for all the different type of calibration reports, refer to the examples
listed under Data available on page 73.
Each calibration record will contain parameters useful for traceability. For instance, it will contain:
•the date and time
•the calibration mode (zero, 100% humid air, or high level adjustment)
•the calibration type (manual or automatic)
•the operator name and ID
•all the measurements which influence the calibration (temperature, barometric pressure, current,

•An alarm relay can be activated or deactivated
•When the alarm is OFF, it is activated,
•When the alarm is ON, it is deactivated
All the relays are activated as soon as the instrument is ON (but alarms are OFF). When the instrument
is OFF, the relays are deactivated, thus in this state, all alarms are ON. The logic "Relay deactivated =
Alarm ON" has been chosen for this safety reason.
When the main board does not communicate with the measurement board for more than 30 seconds, the
measurement board switches all the alarm relays and the analog output to the alarm state.

Analog outputs
There are three analog outputs available. These outputs are configurable in terms of function, content,
and behavior through the instrument menus. Analog outputs are used to output a current which is a
function (e.g. a linear characteristic) of a measurement: AOut = f (M). The analog outputs can be
typically connected to a PLC. Knowing the function (f), the PLC can compute the value of the
measurement.

For some events (sensor out, purge failure, etc.) the actual measurement is
not significant, but the PLC needs to know how the analog output behaves
in these cases. Two "Event indication modes" are available:
•Standard mode (default)
•Extended mode
Refer to Table 1 Standard event indication below.
The "Extended event indication" mode is only available when the 4-20 mA

8.5Analog output characteristics
Analog output characteristics
“Linear” analog outputThe "Linear" output is the default setting for the analog output. It is
illustrated below (4-20 mA output is shown, 0-20 mA settings are similar).
The goal of this setting is to use all the points available on the slope from
4 mA to 20 mA to show the range of measurements that are usual in the
measured process. Setting the output this way allows for the highest signal
resolution for the actual conditions.
The downside is that any measures below the set range will have the same
analog signal locked at 4 mA. Similarly, any measure over the set range will
have the same analog signal locked at 20 mA. Settings must be made in
balancing these aspects.
Settings
For the output, set ML and MH in the current measuring unit (e.g. °C for a
temperature output). When a compound unit is selected the smallest unit will
be used (e.g. ppb for a "ppm-ppb" compound unit).
These points should be set keeping in balance the following conditions (see
illustration above):
•The smaller is Range 1, the better is the analog signal resolution within
•In Range 0 the analog output only shows that measurement is below the

measurement is over the MH value.

Analog output characteristics (continued)
“Tri-linear” analog
output
The "Tri-linear" output brings benefits over the “Linear output” discussed
before. It is illustrated below (4-20 mA output is shown, 0-20 mA settings are
similar).
Compared to the “Linear” mode, the expected range of measure is Range 2.
A Range 1 and 3 are available to show the measures falling out of this
Range 2, but normally at a lower resolution. Expected measurements for the
measured process are supposed to be in Range 2 most of the time, and in
Range 1 or 3 occasionally (problems, calibration, line stop, etc.). The
benefits are:
•The PLC can compute the measurement over a large range (1, 2 and 3).
•The PLC can compute a higher resolution signal for the expected
measuring range (Range 2: MH > M > ML).
•Carefully selecting the set points allows for an individual resolution for
each range, so a different resolution can be applied to Range 1, 2 and 3,
allowing to tailor the analog output to the actual conditions.
As before, the downside is that any measure below or over the Range 1, 2
and 3 will have the same signal locked at 4 mA and 20 mA respectively, but
Range 1, 2 and 3 should cover a larger range than in the “Linear” mode.
Settings must made in balancing these aspects.
Settings
For each output, set MLL, ML, MH, and MHH in the current measuring unit
(e.g. °C for a temperature output). When a compound unit is selected, the
smallest unit will be used (e.g. ppb for a "ppm-ppb" compound unit). Also set
AOL (Analog Output Low) and AOH (High) in mA.
These points should be set keeping in balance the following conditions (see
illustration above):
•The smaller is Range 2, the better is the analog signal resolution within
the expected range of measure.
•Size of Range 1 and 3 should be set to deliver an adequate level of
resolution for the measures falling out of the expected range of
measure.
•In Range 0 the analog outputs only shows that measurement is below
the MLL value. Similarly in Range 4 the analog output only shows that
measurement is over the MHH value.
The formula to compute the measurement knowing the current and the
resolution R is given in the following table:

Setting the analog output to “None” means that the output value will always
be zero and importantly ensures that no current is emitted on that output, so
reducing power consumption as well as reducing heat within the instrument.

Center application which contains the synchronization software.
Once installed, the synchronization software starts automatically when the instrument is
connected to the PC and an icon will appear in the task bar at the bottom of the screen.
Note: By default the software proposes to set up a partnership with the instrument. This is not required, so
make sure this is set to NO before continuing.
9.5.3 Upload report files
Double click on the Orbisphere 410, 51x USB upload icon on the PC desktop (created during
the process described previously in PC software installation on page 84) to start the upload and
convert process.
When the main screen is displayed, click on the Wizard button in the top left corner.
•Check that the USB connection from the instrument to PC has been made, and that the
synchronization software has been activated and the link recognized (the icon in the task bar
should be colored green). Click on Next.
•Choose the directory where the files are to be stored. If the directory path does not exist it will
be automatically created. Click on Next.
84
•A warning message appears to warn that all files currently in the directory (if any exist) will be
deleted prior to upload. Click on Yes to continue with the process or No to abort. If Yes is
selected, a progress bar of the upload is displayed.
•Should any of the files be missing (e.g. a calibration file will be missing if no calibration has
been performed), a warning message is displayed, but no action is required. Click on OK.
Once the upload is complete, the files are converted and stored in the folder defined above.
•Click on Finish to terminate the process, or on either of the other two buttons to open the
folder or view the text files.

Section 10Security Menu
Note: When the instrument is started for the very first time, security is disabled by default. It is highly
recommended that each user be entered into the system and given appropriate access rights as soon as
possible to avoid any unauthorized access. Details of this process are described in this section.
10.1 Access rights management
Access rights management
Each user has a unique ID and user password. The ID and password are used by the software to:
•Allow or deny a user to perform specific actions.
•To trace this action with his "ID" in a log file.
Once the ID and password are entered, the user is allowed to perform actions according to the "Access
level" that has been attributed to his ID by the Manager. See Security level table on page 17.

This enables defining the users with their access level when the software starts for the first time. It is
possible to configure several parameters related to confidentiality. This requires a user access level 4.
Note: Access rights are disabled by default.
•Access rights: When enabled, it is required to log in as a registered user (see User management on
page 88) to access the menus. When disabled (default), all menu are access free, and the effect of
leaving the text box blank in user login window is that there will be no name recorded for the action in
the log file.
•Enter a maximum session time in minutes for improved confidentiality. The user is logged out
automatically when the set delay for inactivity is over.
•User action logging: When enabled, every action from a logged on user is recorded in a user log file
for traceability.
•Clear all user actions log file. Confirm to clear the log file. This functionality is aimed at clearing demo
or test logs for example. The log file is a rolling buffer recording the past 100 actions.
