Description
The oxygen signal of the O2k is transmitted from the electrochemical polarographic oxygen sensor (OroboPOS) for each of the two chambers to DatLab. The primary signal is a current mAmp which is converted into a voltage [V], and calibrated in SI units for amount of substrance concentration [ยตmol.dm-3 or ยตM].

Stability of the oxygen signal
The stability of the oxygen signal of the O2k is evaluated by the (negative) uncorrected slope over time. After smoothing, the slope of a stable sensor should be less than +- 1 pmol.s-1.ml-1 in a 2-ml chamber.
- Instability of the oxygen signal
- There is drift of the oxygen signal over short or long periods of time.
- The signal at air saturation is abnormally high for a given gain setting.
- The zero current is high (>2.5%) and may show drift.
- Confirm and locate the problem by performing a Sensor test and following Locating a problem.
- Follow the standard instructions for oxygen sensor service.
= Oxygen signal does not respond
- The oxygen signal remains at or close to zero even at high oxygen levels.
- The signal at air saturation is abnormally low.
- Check the gain setting for the affected oxygen channel.
- Response 1: The gain setting was too low, and the oxygen signal increases to the expected level after increasing the gain.
- Response 2: The gain was correct: Locate the problem using the procedure described in Locating a problem and Sensor test.
