7.6 OXYGEN MODULE (5100-03)

7.6.1 DESCRIPTION

The Oxygen Module includes the electronic assembly installed in an explosion proof housing and the electrochemical sensor connected to one hub of the enclosure. Cabling from the controller connects to a three pin spring loaded terminal strip.

7.6.2 TROUBLE ANALYSIS

Electrical adjustment, or replacement of the sensor will be necessary under the following conditions:

•Controller displays the following error messages:

CHANGE SENSOR

SENSOR FAILURE

REPLACE SENSOR

•False readings or alarms are received due to sensor inaccuracy.
