2.1Checking Sensor Operation

Use the troubleshooting section in the analyzer instruction manual to determine whether the sensor or analyzer is in-operative. If you suspect the sensor, check it using this procedure:

1.Disconnect the sensor from the analyzer (or junction box, if using interconnect cable).

2.Clean the sensor using the procedure in Part Three, Section 1.

3.Using an ohmmeter, check all of the measurement point resistance readings shown in Table A below.

Be sure that the ohmmeter is set to its highest range for all infinite (open circuit) resistance readings shown in Table A.

Measurement Points

Correct Resistance Readings

Between blue and white wires

1089-l 106 ohms at 23-27°C

Between red wire and sensor body

Less than 5 ohms

Between black wire and inner electrode Less than 5 ohms

Between black and red wires

Infinite (open circuit)

Between black and white wires

Infinite (open circuit)

Between red and white wires

Infinite (open circuit)

Between red and inner shield wires

Infinite (open circuit)

Between black and inner shield wires

4.If you cannot get the required readings for one or more of the resistance

checks in step 3, the sensor is probably inoperative. Refer to OMEGA

’s

warranty/replacement plan for sensor replacement details. If all resistance

 

checks are okay, the sensor may still be inoperative. In this case, more

 

extensive troubleshooting is required. Please consult the OMEGA Customer Service Department for details (see page 12).
