== Functions ==
::: The OroboPOS-Connector has several different functions:
::::* It mechanically presses the [[POS]] against the [[glass chamber]], ensuring a tight fit.
::::* It connects the [[POS]] electronically to the [[Main unit]] transmitting the signal.
::::* In O2k Series A-C it also performs the current to voltage conversion / amplification. For Series D and upwards this function has been incorporated into the [[Main unit]]. For this reason OroboPOS connectors for Series A-C and for Series D are NOT interchangeable.
:::: The OroboPOS-Connector is sensitive to damage by [[ESD]] when disconnected from the [[O2k-Main Unit]] and when the POS head is removed. Further details: [[MiPNet14.01_ESD-damage]].
=== Cleaning ===
:::: When experimental media or electrolyte (during [[MiPNet19.18B POS-service |service of the polarographic oxygen sensor OroboPOS]] leak into the mechanical part of the OroboPOS-Connector, operation of the spring mechanism may be restricted. In such cases, the body of the OroboPOS-Connector should be washed with distilled water. To do so, screw the OroboPOS head onto the OroboPOS-Connector. Make sure that the plug connecting to the O2k-Main Unit does not get wet (protect with parafilm). Rinse the body of the OroboPOS-Connector with distilled water, pulling the spring-loaded part at the base several times. Salt crystals and media clogging the mechanical part are thus washed out. Wipe off the water while again pulling down the spring-loaded part.
=== Cleaning the electrical connections ===
:::: Unscrew the OroboPOS and check the electrical connections (the gold pin and thread on the OroboPOS and OroboPOS-Connector). Remove any contaminating grease and moisture with a fine paper cloth. Soak a paper cloth in ethanol and carefully clean the gold pin and threads. If the gold pin and thread on the POS connector are discoloured or appear stained, clean repeatedly with a paper towel soaked in water and subsequently in ethanol, until no more traces appear on the paper towel used for cleaning. If the O2k is used in a humid environment, apply a drop of contact oil from the [[OroboPOS-Service_Kit|OroboPOS-Service Kit]] to each of the golden pins and threads on POS connector and POS. Perform an [[Oxygen sensor test]] as a quality control of proper OroboPOS-connector and sensor performance.
=== Replacing the OroboPOS-Connector ===
::::If you need to replace the Orobo-POS Connector, an [[OroboPOS-Connector_Service]] may be possible.
