9.Connect the ribbon cable connector between display board (11) and the CPU board of PC board stack (10). Ensure the cable connector is fully seated.

10.Reposition display board (11) on the standoffs. Rotate the display board 90 degrees either way as desired.

11.Install and tighten all three screws (12) and circuit end cap (13).

12.Tighten cover lock screw (14) until cover lock (15) engages knurled sur- face of circuit end cap (13).

Use heat resistant gloves and clothing when removing the probe. The probe can be as hot as 1600°C (2912°F). This

can cause severe burns.

5-2 OXYGEN PROBE REPLACEMENT

The oxygen probe is designed with ceramic materials to provide maximum life at elevated temperatures and is not rebuildable. The condi- tion of the sensing cell can be determined peri- odically by two methods:

Note the cell impedance at the electronics. When the impedance displays a warning in- dication (WARN), increase the frequency of impedance readings. A cell with a sustained high impedance indication (HI) indicates a probe that is beyond its useful life.

Conduct a calibration check. Follow the prompts provided by the electronics through the process of flowing two calibration check

gases of known values. Record the generated slope and constant values.

Probe replacement may be conducted online as long as the process in which the probe is mounted is operating at a negative, or slightly positive, pressure. Refer to Section 6, TROU- BLESHOOTING, for more information.

Do not install or remove probes from a process where pressures are more than a few inches of H2O positive pressure. Hot gases may escape from the stack and cause severe personal injury.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do not insert or withdraw a probe into

or out of a hot process faster than 1 in.

 

 

(25.4 mm) per minute or instrument

 

 

damage from thermal shock may

 

 

 

 

occur.

 

 

Also, ash, slag, or other materials can

 

 

build up on the probe body in some

 

 

applications. If this buildup is causing

 

 

difficulty when withdrawing the probe,

 

 

DO NOT FORCE. Rotate the probe

 

 

back and forth to attempt to loosen the

 

 

material on the probe body. Or, wait

 

 

until the process cools down and ac-

 

 

cess the buildup from inside the

 

 

furnace.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Refer to Table 8-1for replacement probe part numbers. Before replacing the probe, verify that the reference air and calibration check gas lines are turned off and disconnected from the probe.
