VISIFERM DO Operating Instructions<br />

Electrical connection for the ECS mode<br />

The ECS mode enables the simulation of an electrochemical sensor. Thus a<br />

VISIFERM DO sensor can be connected to classical measuring devices<br />

instead of amperometric oxygen <strong>sensors</strong> (Clark cells). Furthermore only the<br />

power supply of the VISIFERM DO sensor is necessary (VP 8.0 pins C and<br />

D, vide infra). Put the ECS mode into operation as described in the chapter<br />

‚Configuration of the sensor‘ / ‚Activation of the ECS mode‘!<br />

ATTENTION !<br />

Apply any high voltage (max. 2 VDC) at pin B (anode)! This can result<br />

in a destruction of the sensor in ECS mode! Note: Only in 4-20 mA<br />

mode a high voltage (max. 24 VDC) may be applied in order to operate<br />

the current interface!<br />

ATTENTION !<br />

Since the <strong>sensors</strong> are supplied in 4-20 mA mode by the factory the<br />

sensor initially has to be configured for the ECS mode (see chapter<br />

‘Configuration of the sensor‘)!<br />

In the ECS mode the following pin occupancy with the allocation of the VP<br />

cable conductor colors are presented in the table:<br />

Particularly in EMV loaded environment it is advisable to put the sensor shaft<br />

and/or VP cable shield on ground or earth. This clearly improves the noise<br />

immunity and signal quality!<br />

The NTC temperature sensor attached to the pins E and F is isolated from the<br />

remainder of the integrated electronics and is used for the temperature<br />

compensation of the oxygen signal in the measuring device. If the measuring<br />

device is not designed for typical sterilizable oxygen <strong>sensors</strong>, then the<br />

measuring device probably expects another type of temperature sensor.<br />

Therefore the measuring device neither can compensate the temperature
