Figure 8-4. Fault 2, Shorted Thermocouple
b. Fault 2, Shorted Thermocouple
Figure 8-4 shows the electronic assembly
for a Hazardous Area Oxymitter 4000 with
a membrane keypad (upper view) and a
Hazardous Area Oxymitter 4000 with an
LOI (lower view). The upper view also
shows J1 and test points TP1 through TP6,
located on the microprocessor board, below
the membrane keypad or the LOI module.
Membrane Keypad. When Fault 2 is
detected, the HEATER T/C LED flashes
twice, pauses for three seconds, and
repeats.
1. Us ing a multimeter, measure the volt-
age from TP3+ to TP4-. If the reading
is 0 ±0.5 mV, then a shorted thermo-
couple is likely.
2. Rem ove power and disconnect J1.
3. Meas ure the resistance from TP3+
to TP4-. The reading should be ap-
proximately 20K ohms.
4. If so, the short is not on the PC board.
The thermocouple wiring or the ther-
mocouple is shorted. See paragraph
9-4g, Heater Strut Replacement.
LOI. When Fault 2 is detected, the LOI
displays the “O2 T/C Shorted” message.
1. Rem ove power. Unscrew and remove
the LOI module from the electronic
assembly.
2. Rec onnect power to the Oxymitter
4000.
3. Perf orm the diagnostic steps 1 through
4 shown for the membrane keypad.
