16.8 Care of the Mini O2DII
Even though the Mini O2DII has been designed to be water resistant, avoid immersion in liquids and do
not leave outside without protection.
The Mini O2DII has been built to withstand minimal blows or falls but being a precision oxygen
analyser it should be taken care of to guarantee correct long term efficiency.
Use a damp cloth to clean the Mini O2DII.
Protect the Mini O2DII from direct sunlight for long periods and do not expose it to extreme
temperatures both high and low.
The Mini O2DII sensor is an electrochemical mechanism containing a corrosive electrolyte.
Always check that it is not leaking and avoid contact with parts of the body or clothes.
In the event of contact with the electrolyte, wash the effected part abundantly with water – see Safety
