5.3.4 Installing a New Micro-Fuel Cell
It is important to minimize the amount of time that a Teledyne Trace Oxygen Sensor is exposed to air during the installation process. The quicker the sensor can be installed into the unit, the faster your TAI O2 sensor will recover to low O2 measurement. levels.
CAUTION: Do not touch the sensing surface of the cell. It is cov- ered with a delicate Teflon membrane that can leak
when punctured. The sensor must be replaced if the membrane is damaged.
Before installing a new cell, check the
Place the cell on the holder with the screen side facing down.
Note: There is a small location hole drilled in the holder. This hole mates with a guide pin on the bottom rear of the cell block. The hole in the cell block holder must align with the guide pin on the cell block.
Step 1. Remove power from instrument.
Step 2. Remove the old sensor (if installed) from the analyzer.
Step 3. Purge the analyzer at approximately 1 SCFH flow rate with N2 (or applicable sample gas with the sensor holder re- moved).
Step 4. Remove sensor from double bag storage.
Step 5. Remove sensor shorting button.
Step 6. Place sensor on sensor holder so that the gold contact plate of the sensor is facing up towards the sky.
Step 7. Install sensor and sensor holder into cell block.
Step 8. With
Step 9. Push the gate on the cell block down so that the slots on the side of the gate engage the locating screws on the side of the block. This forces the holder into position and forms a gas- tight seal.
Step 10. Purge system with sample or zero gas.
Step 11.
If steps 4 through 10 are accomplished quickly (elapsed time less than 15 seconds), recovery to less than 1ppm level should occur in less than 8 hours.
