Configure linear output on the controller

Linear outputs send probe data back to the facility PLC, SCADA or other data collection system.

1. Go to the controller output setup menu.

Modbus registers

A list of Modbus registers is available for network communication. Refer to www.hach.com or

Calibration for measurements

The sensor is calibrated to specification at the factory. The manufacturer does not recommend
calibration unless periodically required by regulatory agencies. If calibration is required, let the sensor
come to equilibrium with the process before calibration. Do not calibrate the sensor at setup.

Table 2

shows options for calibration.

Table 2 Calibration options

Option

Description

AIR CAL

Recommended calibration method. This calibration modifies the slope.

SAMPLE CAL

Calibration by comparison with a hand-held DO meter . This calibration modifies the offset.

RESET DFLT CAL Resets the calibration gain (slope) and offset to the factory default: default gain=1.0; default

offset=0.0

Calibration with air

User notes:

• Make sure that calibration bag has water inside.
• Make sure that the seal between the calibration bag and the sensor body is tight.
• Make sure that the sensor is dry when it is calibrated.
• Make sure the air pressure/elevation setting is accurate for the calibration location.
• Allow enough time for the sensor temperature to stabilize to the temperature of the calibration bag

location. A large difference in temperature between the process and the calibration location can
take up to 15 minutes to stabilize.

1. Remove the sensor from the process. Use a wet cloth to clean the sensor.
2. Put the entire sensor in a calibration bag with 25-50 mL of water. Make sure that the sensor cap

is not in contact with the water inside the calibration bag and that no water drops are on the
sensor cap (

Figure 6

).

3. Use a rubber band, tie or hand to create a tight seal around the sensor body.
