FDO 4410(W)Overview
Sensor cap with
memory chip
A memory chip is integrated in the sensor cap. The following data are stored
on the memory chip:
Type designation of the sensor cap
Series number
Data of the factory calibration or user calibration
Intelligent
membrane (IQMC
technology)
For each membrane, the individual calibration values are determined by
a factory calibration process and stored to the memory chip of the sensor
cap, ensuring maximum accuracy over the whole lifetime of the
sensor.
Automatic sensor
recognition
The data of the sensor and sensor cap is recalled by the meter when the
sensor is connected and is used for measurement and for measured value
documentation. The calibration data are stored in the sensor cap. Thus, the
calibration is automatically retained if the sensor or meter are exchanged.
The digital transmission technique guarantees the failure-free communication with the meter even with long connection cables.
Firmware updateYou can update the firmware of the IDS sensor using your meter.
Details on the firmware update are given in the current operating manual of
your meter.

2.1General information on the handling of the sensor cap
Despite its exterior robustness, the sensor is a high precision optical instrument. Therefore, you should take the following precautions when dealing with
the FDO 4410(W):
Please do not touch the sensor membrane with your fingers
Avoid any great mechanical stress of the sensor membrane (pressure,
scratches).

2.4Measuring
Minimum depth of
immersion
Observe the required minimum immersion depth (see chapter 5 TECHNICAL
DATA).
Incident flowThe FDO 4410(W) D.O. sensor enables precise measurements without any
incident flow.
However, an incident flow of the sensor membrane improves the responding
behavior of the sensor (see chapter 5 T
ECHNICALDATA). The incident flow can
be provided in different ways, e. g.:
The flow of the water to be measured is sufficient (aeration tank, water
pipe, stream)
Slowly pull the sensor through the water by hand (lake, container), or
Use a flow aid such as a magnetic stirrer with stirring device (see
chapter 6 W
EARPARTSANDACCESSORIES)
2.5Function check and user calibration
Factory calibrationThe FDO 4410(W) is factory calibrated. In the recommended application (see
page 5), the measuring characteristics of the sensor cap remain stable for the
specified service life. Thus, a user calibration is not usually required.
When does a
check or user
calibration make
sense?
Check- or
calibration
medium
A function check or user calibration can be useful in the following special
cases:
If the measured values appear to be implausible and it is assumed that the
service life of the sensor cap is over
Routinely within the framework of the company quality assurance.
The check and user calibration take place in water vapor-saturated air. The
suitable conditions are easily provided with the aid of the check and calibration vessel, FDO Check. For this purpose, moisten the sponge inside the ves-
sel. Then insert the sensor in the vessel as far as it will go. The sensor
membrane must be clean and dry for this.
Moisten the sponge:
Remove the cap (1).
8
Take out the sponge (2), wet it, then slightly squeeze it out.
Insert the sponge again and close the calibration and storage vessel with
ba76197e0110/2017

the lid.
After inserting the sensor, wait for the temperatures of the sensor and calibration vessel to adjust.
The steps of the check or user calibration are described in detail
in the operating manual of the meter.
2.6Storage
Always store the sensor in the check and storage vessel (FDO Check) at a
temperature in the range 0 ... 50 °C (32 ... 122 °F).

3.1General maintenance instructions
Handling of the
sensor cap
Despite its exterior robustness, the sensor is a high precision optical instrument. Therefore, special care should be taken when doing any maintenance
or cleaning work:
Dirt and moisture under the sensor cap can affect the functioning and
shorten the service life of the sensor cap. Therefore, make sure the working environment is clean and dry prior to removing the sensor cap.
Please do not touch the outer sensor membrane with your fingers. Touch
the sensor cap at the sides only (arrows in figure on the left).
Avoid any great mechanical stress of the sensor membrane (pressure,
scratches).
Exposure to light, particularly daylight, of the interior of the sensor cap will,
by-and-by, affect the measurement characteristics and shorten the service life of the sensor cap. Therefore, the interior of the sensor cap should
not be exposed to direct sunlight. Avoid any exposure to light that exceeds
the extent required for necessary maintenance and cleaning activities.
Store dismantled sensor caps in a light-protected environment only.

3.2Exchanging thesensor cap
Before removing the sensor cap, observe the general maintenance instructions in section 3.1.
To exchange the sensor cap, proceed as follows:
Removing the
sensor cap
Mounting the
sensor cap
1.Pull the sensor out of the sample.
2.Clean the outside of the sensor (see section 3.3.1).
3.Unscrew the protective hood from the sensor by hand.
4.Thoroughly clean and dry the sensor head once again.
5.Grasp the sensor cap on the sides (arrows in figure on the left) and
remove it by pulling it away from the sensor in a straight
upward
direction.
Caution:
Do not push any tools or other sharp objects between the sealing surfaces. This would damage the sealing surfaces and sealing ring.
6.Check the front surface of the sensor for absolute cleanness and
clean it if necessary (see section 3.3.2).
ba76197e0110/2017
7.Thoroughly clean the thread of the protective hood.
8.Check the sealing ring for intactness and correct position.
The sealing ring has to be replaced if it is damaged.
9.Aim the sensor head upwards and place the new sensor cap on the
sensor. The locking device on the sensor head must be inserted into
the receptacle on the inside of the sensor cap (see figure on the left).
10.Put the protective hood on the sensor head and screw it tight by hand
as far as it will go
. A gap of approx. 0.8 mm remains between the protective hood and sensor.
The sensor is immediately ready to measure.

3.3Cleaning the sensor
3.3.1Exterior cleaning
Dirt on the sensor can affect the measuring characteristics. Biological deposits for example, consume oxygen and can, when occurring on the sensor
membrane, impair the responding behavior and cause values that are too
low. Therefore, we recommend regular visual inspections and exterior cleaning as necessary.
Pay attention to the following points for cleaning:
First, thoroughly rinse the sensor with tapwater to remove loosely adher-
ing dirt.
Rough dirt on the sensor shaft can be brushed off with a soft brush. Atten-
tion: Do not use the brush in the area of the sensor membrane. Risk of
damage!
The sensor cap including the sensor membrane should be wiped with a
soft and moist microfiber cloth.
In the case of persisting dirt you can add some household washing-up liq-
uid to the tapwater. Attention:
Never use any alcohol for cleaning!
3.3.2Interior cleaning of sensor cap and sensor head
If moisture or dirt have penetrated under the sensor cap, e.g. because the
sensor cap is damaged, you can make the sensor ready for operation again
as follows:
NOTE
Only use nonabrasive, alcohol-free detergents, as otherwise the optical
surfaces could be damaged.
1.Remove the sensor cap (see section 3.2).
2.Clean the sensor head and sensor cap:
– Rinse all inner surfaces with tapwater
– Remove contamination containing fat and oil with warm water and
household washing-up liquid
– Then rinse all inner surfaces with deionized water
12
3.Pat dry all surfaces with a clean, lint free cloth.
4.Allow the sensor and sensor cap to dry completely at a dry location
so moisture can evaporate even from corners difficult to access.
When doing, so protect the inside of the sensor cap from light.
5.Put the sensor cap on (see section 3.2).

FDO 4410(W)Maintenance, cleaning, replacement
If the sensor cap is visibly damaged it has to be replaced.
3.4Checking the zero point of the sensor
There are two methods to check the zero point of the sensor:
Measurement in a nitrogen atmosphere (recommended method)
Measurement in a sodium sulfite solution according to DIN EN 25814/
ISO 5814.
Test criterionThe sensor is OK if the measuring instrument displays < 0.5 % D.O. satura-
tion after 15 minutes.
