Operation

4.2 Turning ON the Analyzer and Warm Up

1.Connect the probe and hose assembly, and make sure that the analyzer is properly set up per Section 3 Initial Setup.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT insert probe into stack before turning ON the analyzer!

2. Place the probe in an area that contains fresh air. This ensures that the sensors will be properly zeroed during the warm-up cycle.

3. Turn ON the analyzer by pressing the I/O button for at least 1 second, or until a single beep is heard. Observe that the analyzer’s firmware version, model and serial numbers are briefly displayed followed by the Warm Up screen.

4. Wait for the analyzer to count down its

60 second warm-up period; after which, the message “NO ERRORS DETECTED” along with the oxygen sensor’s output voltage is briefly displayed followed by the display of the Combustion Test HOLD screen.

TIP: The O2 value at the end of warm-up is reported as "Good, Low or BAD". Consider replacing the oxygen sensor when its value is reported as "Low".

If problems were detected during warm up, the message “ERRORS DETECTED” is displayed along with a list of those errors. As an example, the screen to the right shows that the battery is low. Refer to Section 7.3 for a listing and possible remedy for the errors displayed.

TIP: If the sensors in error are not critical to the combustion test, then press the RUN/HOLD button to display the Combustion Test HOLD screen and proceed with the test.
