Measuring

Getting the best measurement performanceThere are a number of factors to take into consideration when measuring O2 and CO2 gasses.The following guidelines should help you to obtain the best possible measurement accuracy and performance from the CheckPoint II device.

The O2 sensor is based on an electrochemical (EC) construction.

The CO2 sensor (if installed) is of the Non Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) type. As this sensor type has great dependency of especially gas temperature, the CheckPoint II software provides an advanced temperature compensation scheme which are factory calibrated for each device separately.

Both sensors are temperature- and pressure compensated in software. However temperature compensation requires stabilizing internally for some time.

In spite of the above efforts there are still limitations to what can be physically achieved.To get the most out of your device, we strongly recommend that you read these next pages to familiarize yourself with the various conditions, which may have impact on the measurements.

Dynamic Sample Time (DST)The DST function uses a variable measuring time to ensure that all measurements are as accurate as possible. Especially when measuring on packages with very different oxygen contents, it may be necessary to extend the measuring time to ensure that the measurement is correct.

Via the PC software you can choose a nominal measuring time and basically this is the applied measuring time. If CheckPoint II detects a large change in the oxygen concentration, it will automatically extend the measuring time, considering the oxygen sensor’s response time. The extended measuring time can not exceed twice the nominal measurement time.

If the additional measuring time is not acceptable (e.g. due to lack of headspace), the use of DST can be disabled. If DST is disabled, we recommend to extend the measuring time to achieve the same accuracy.

DST is enabled by default but setting can be changed as follows:

• Switch on CheckPoint II and log in if necessary.

• Press key to enter the Main menu.

• Press key twice and then press key.

• Now use keys to change DST setting to required setting (Yes/No) and confirm by pressing

key.

• Press key to return to the measuring screen.

NOTE! Do not disable DST function on the device without consulting an authorised Dansensor Service Point. Disabling DST has great influence on the measuring accuracy!



Explanation of the “Response time (T95)”According to the specifications the O2 sensor has a Response time (T95) of 9 sec.

This means that when performing consecutive measurements in areas with large differences in the O2 concentrations, the device will as a minimum reach 95% of the “true” value during the first measurement (9 sec.).

Example:(See illustration below):

• Last measurement was performed in i.e. 20.9% O2

• The following value to be measured is 1.0% O2

• Difference is:20.9 - 1.0 = 19.9% O2

• The expected read-out value after first measuring is:20.9 - (0.95 * 19.9) = 2.0% O2

Consequently this means that if there is a large difference in the O2 concentrations between two consecutive measurements, multiple measurements must be performed to obtain a more accurate result.

O2 offset calibrationAn electrochemical sensor is to be treated as a wearing part as the chemistry inside wears proportionally to the amount of O2 seen during its lifetime.We therefore recommend that you perform daily offset (20.9%) calibrations before starting measurements.

See "Offset (20.9%) calibration" on page 31 for details.

NOTE! As a minimum weekly offset calibration is required to ensure correct measuring results!

NOTE! If device is mainly used at very high O2 concentrations above 20.9%, the sensor lifetime will be reduced proportionally.

O2 sensor temperature sensitivityDue to the sensor design the readout will be affected when moving the device from cold to warm temperatures or vice versa. Normally for compensation to work properly the device must be stabilized at the current ambient temperature for some time (up to 1-2 hours)

However if you cannot wait for this time, use short stabilizing time, for example 10-15 min., and perform an offset (20.9%) calibration of the O2 sensor right before each measurement series until device has stabilized. This will bring the calibration back in line with current response.

NOTE! When entering another ambient temperature area, the device must again be offset calibrated before use to ensure proper accuracy.

The sensor is also slower in response in cold environments so for better accuracy you should measure the values twice and skip first measurement (though the first measurement will comply with T95). Alternatively select longer measuring periods in the product setup for the particular measurements.

NOTE! Do not select lower measuring times than 6 seconds when configuring products in PC software as this will greatly compromise the accuracy of the device.

CO2 sensor temperature sensitivityThe CO2 measurements however has faster response when changing ambient temperature zones so if you are only interested in measuring the CO2 values, you need not recalibrate O2 offset but can start the CO2 measurements right away.



The Measuring screen

Measurement section This section displays the result of the recent measurement.

Only values selected for display in the product set-up are displayed - see "Product Setup" on page 55 for details.
