Q: Do your dissolved oxygen (DO) sensors require maintenance?
A: Yes, but very
infrequently if you use Sensorex DO6000 or DO7000 series.
DO 6000 and 7000 series can provide more than 9 months of trouble-free
service. DO
Maintenance kits are available with all parts and solutions
required for maintenance.
Q: Do your dissolved oxygen (DO) sensors require
cleaning?
A: Yes. It
is important that the membrane used on the sensor be clean and clear
of any biological or other materials. Simply wiping with as
soft cloth can do the job. For heavy fouling applications
such as open pond aquaculture or waste treatment, we recommend using an automated
cleaning device.
Q: How do your dissolved oxygen (DO) sensors
measure oxygen?
A: Please refer to
our Dissolved Oxygen Technical
Education section for details
Q: Do any chemicals interfere with dissolved
oxygen (DO) sensors measurements?
A: Sulfides will
cause a precipitation reaction at the cathode. However, sulfides
are rarely encountered in most applications.
Q: Which types of membranes are available for
your DO sensors? A: Sensorex offers
both Teflon and HDPE membranes. Although HDPE membrane provide
faster response and higher output, the teflon membrane provides
more mechanical strength and still has a fairly quick response time
(95% in 2 minutes or less). We recommend the teflon membrane
for our submersible DO sensors, especially in aquaculture applications. |
