2  INSTALLATION 
The Eutech probe is easy to install. It should be placed where there is some 
movement in the water-1 cm/sec is enough at 7 mg/1 and 13 C. Ensure that the 
probe does not strike against the tank wall, and do not mount it directly above 
diffusers etc. 
 
Each probe is connected using ordinary 2-core cable, and it is fitted with 3 
meters of PU cable unless otherwise specified. The brown wire is positive, the 
blue negative. 
 
 
3  DIRECTIONS FOR USE 
 
3.1  Calibration 
Calibration is carried out by placing the probe in air or air saturated water, 
waiting for temperature equalization then adjusting the transmitter or electronics 
connected so that the output corresponds to the calibration value. If you are 
measuring % saturation on the calibration value is always 100%. If you are 
measuring mg/l (ppm) temperature, the barometric pressure and the water 
salinity all affect the calibration value.  
 
The probe must have the same temperature as the water or air surrounding it, and 
must therefore be allowed to attain this temperature before being calibrated. Any 
robust long-life probe such as the Eutech can take up to an hour to respond to a 
10-degree temperature change in air, which only takes 10 minutes in water. This 
must be taken into account when calibrating. 
 
Take the probe up from the water, wipe the membrane dry, and hang it in free 
air, away from direct sunlight. When the probe output is stable adjust the 
transmitter or electronics connected to give the correct output. 
 
Calibration value for systems measuring % saturation 
The calibration value for systems measuring % saturation is always 100. For 
these systems, and only for these systems, temperature, barometric pressure and 
salinity have no influence. 
 
Calibration value for systems measuring mg/l (ppm) 
For these measurements adjustment until the output corresponds to the 
appropriate value from the calibration tables. Temperature, pressure and salinity 
affect the value. The first table at the end of this section shows values for various 
temperature and air pressures, the other values for various temperatures and 
salinity at 760 mbar. 
 
It is essential to correct for temperature-use the air temperature near the probe. 
At high altitudes, or for greater accuracy, a correction must be made for pressure. 
The salinity should be corrected for in salt-water measurements. For a simple 
calibration at low altitudes assume a normal barometric pressure of 760 mmHg. 
 
How often should calibration be performed? 
Unfortunately, it is not possible to answer this question. A new probe needs more 
frequent calibration than an “old”. Calibration frequently also depends on the 
accuracy desired. If an accuracy of +/- 0.5 ppm is sufficient, calibration once a 
month is more than enough. It is, however, much better to perform one thorough 
calibration than two quick ones. Give the probe time to stabilize, check the 
barometer and decide if correction for air pressure is necessary. Check the 
salinity if your farm is a salt-water facility!
