Introduction

The Wireless Oxygen Gas Sensor measures oxygen gas

concentration in percent (%) and parts per million (ppm)

oxygen. The sensor also measures temperature, relative

humidity, and absolute humidity. It can be used to study

cellular respiration, photosynthesis, air quality, oxygen

cycling, and the rate of oxygen production in chemical

reactions.

Using the sensor for the first time

Perform the steps below when using the sensor for the

first time. Detailed steps of each procedure are found in

separate sections of the instruction sheet.

1. Install the sensing element.

2. Charge the battery.

3. Connect the sensor to software.

4. Calibrate the sensor.

To install the sensing element

1. Unscrew the stopper from the sensor by turning

the stopper counterclockwise.

2. Remove the sensing element from the storage

bottle, then connect it to the sensor (Figure 1).

CAUTION: Make sure that the temperature and

humidity sensor does not get wedged under the

sensing element.

3. Screw the stopper back on the sensor.

NOTE: The sensing element only needs to be installed

when using the sensor for the first time. The sensing

element will not need to be removed until replacement is

necessary (at least two years).

Figure 1. Installation of the sensing element.

To charge the battery

1. Connect the micro USB cable to the micro USB

port on the sensor then connect the other end of

the cable to a USB charger.

2. Allow the battery to charge for at least three

hours. The battery status LED will turn green

when fully charged.

NOTE: The sensor can remain connected to a power

source when fully charged without damaging the

battery. The sensor automatically stops charging the

battery when fully charged.

To connect the sensor to software

The sensor automatically connects with the software

when connected to a device via USB. Use the procedures

below to connect the sensor to the software via Bluetooth.

SPARKvue

1. Press and hold the power button until the

Bluetooth status LED starts flashing red.

2. Open SPARKvue and select Sensor Data.

3. Under Connected Devices, select the sensor that

matches your device ID.

PASCO Capstone

1. Press and hold the power button until the

Bluetooth status LED starts flashing red.

2. Open Capstone and click Hardware Setup.

3. Select the sensor that matches your device ID.

To calibrate the sensor

The sensor should be calibrated before using the sensor

for the first time. It is not necessary to calibrate the sensor

each time the sensor is used. Calibration is recommended

if the O2Concertation reading for an atmospheric sample

is greater than ±1% from 20.9%.

SPARKvue

1. Collect an atmospheric air sample (see the

Collecting Samples procedure).

2. Connect the sensor to SPARKvue and set up

data collection.

3. Select the Hardware Setup icon.

4. Select the Calibration icon.

5. Select Calibrate.

6. Select OK to confirm calibration.

PASCO Capstone

1. Collect an atmospheric air sample (see the

Collecting Samples procedure).

2. Connect the sensor to Capstone.

3. In the Tools palette, click Calibration.

4. Select Concentration then click Next.

5. Select One Standard (1 point slope) then click Next.

6. Click Set Current Value to Standard Value.

7. Review the calibration then click Finish.

Collecting Samples

To collect an atmospheric air sample

NOTE: It is recommended to perform this procedure

outside of a building to collect a fresh sample.

1. Hold the sample bottle upright and open to the air.

2. Insert the stopper of the sensor into the bottle to

seal the bottle.

To collect expired air or other gas samples

1. Place the sensor inside a plastic bag.

2. Press any atmospheric air out of the bag.

3. Use a tube to fill the bag with the gas sample.

4. Secure the bag closed round the tube to contain

the gas sample and exclude atmospheric air.

WARNING: Do not allow the sensor to contact liquids.

CAUTION: Do not clean the sampling bottle in a

dishwasher or autoclave.

LED Status

The status LEDs operate as follows:

Bluetooth LED Status

Red blink Ready to be connected to software

Green blink Connected to software

Yellow blink Remotely logging data

Battery LED Status

Red blink Battery needs to be replaced soon

Green solid Battery is fully charged

Yellow solid Battery is charging

Storage

Under 20.9% ambient O2, the lifetime of the sensing

element is estimated to be 2 years or longer. The lifetime

of the sensing element will be affected by several factors,

including storage temperature, pressure, and availability

of oxygen. It is recommended to cover the stopper with

the included sample bottle or sensing element storage

bottle when not in use. This will limit its exposure to

oxygen and maximize the lifetime of the sensing element.

How the sensor works

The oxygen sensing element is a galvanic fuel cell with a

gas permeable membrane at one end. The fuel cell

contains an electrolyte, anode, and cathode. When

oxygen enters the fuel cell through the membrane, a

chemical reaction between the metallic cathode and

anode and the electrolyte occurs. This chemical reaction

produces a voltage. The voltage produced is proportional

to the concentration of oxygen present.
