FluoMini - Oxygen Sensor O2 and DO2

Product catalog summary
General Information
  • Product: FluoMini Pro Optical Oxygen Sensor, Version 1, Firmware v1.0 170320.
  • Application: Suitable for measurements in water/fluids and air/gas, not suitable for strongly oxidizing, acidic (pH<1), or caustic (pH>12) media.
  • Specifications: Measures O₂ in gas (0 to 40% Vol), operates between 5 to 45°C and 0 to 1.5 bar abs. Accuracy varies with O₂ concentration, with a resolution of 0.01% for O₂.
Installation
  • Mounting: Can be used as a portable or tabletop instrument with optional stands or mounts.
  • Connections: Operates via USB connection to a PC.
  • Pressure Sensor: Positioned inside the sensor-case with an optional external connection.
  • Replacing Probe Tip: Involves removing the old tip and O-ring, then carefully placing a new probe tip.
Measuring with the FluoMini O2|T
  • Measurement Principle: Utilizes optochemical components to measure temperature and oxygen partial pressure.
  • Sleep Behavior: Sensor enters sleep mode after 1 minute to conserve power, waking upon button press.
  • Single Measurement: Initiated by pressing a button, displaying oxygen, temperature, and pressure readings.
General Settings
  • Time and Date: Can be set through the main menu.
  • Power Management: Allows setting the sensor to sleep or awake mode.
  • Data Saving: Option to toggle data saving on or off.
  • Decimal Separator: Can be set to dot or comma.
Logger Settings
  • Data Logging: Default interval is 5 seconds, with options to change interval and start/stop logging.
  • Memory Reset: Allows erasing of stored data.
Sensor Settings
  • Calibration: Offers automatic calibration with one or two-point options for temperature and oxygen parameters.
Calibration Procedures
  • Temperature Calibration: Optional and can be skipped. It involves offset correction.
  • Two-Point Calibration with Temperature: Start in a 21% oxygen environment, stabilize temperature, and apply. Then, calibrate in 0% and 21% oxygen mediums.
  • Two-Point Calibration without Temperature: Similar to the above but skips temperature calibration. Maintain constant temperature throughout.
Manual Calibration
  • Access sensor settings to adjust slope and offset for O2 or Temperature. Save changes after setup.
Measuring Settings
  • Units available: mg/l (water), %O2 (gas), %saturation (water). Change units via the main menu and save settings.
Operating the FluoMini Pro via Software
  • Install software and connect the sensor via USB. Operate either through software or sensor display.
  • Single Measurement: Perform and save measurements.
  • Continuous Measurement: Set time interval, start, pause, and save data.
Data Retrieval
  • Retrieve data from files or directly from the sensor. Erase log files to prevent data overlap.
Calibration via Software
  • One-Point Calibration: Expose sensor to 21% calibration medium and calibrate.
  • Two-Point Calibration: Options for with or without temperature calibration. Ensure stable temperature.
Measurement Units Modification
  • Change units in the software, which automatically updates the sensor.
Frequently Asked Questions
  • Pressure and Oxygen Measurement: Direct relationship in gas; indirect in water.
  • Data Retrieval: Use FluoMini Pro software on Windows.
  • Sensor Reset: Press buttons 3 and 4 simultaneously.
  • Battery Life: Varies with logging intervals.
  • Display Issues: Reset sensor if display freezes.
Errors and Troubleshooting
  • Common errors include invalid commands, no sensor connection, low signal, and SD card issues. Reset sensor if errors occur.
Appendix I – Command Set
  • Details on serial communication commands, including baudrate settings, sensor ID requests, and measurement commands.

3. Measuring with the FluoMini O2|T 3.1. Measurement principle The Optochemical O2|T sensor has two active components embedded in a polymer host. One component measures the temperature of the coating necessary for compensation of the oxygen measurement. The other measures the Oxygen partial pressure. The total pressure of a gas is the sum of the so-called partial pressures of the components in the gas. A standard atmosphere is composed of Oxygen, Nitrogen, some CO2, Water and some trace gasses.
