5.7Troubleshooting
Problem:
Erratic readings of the Oxygen concentration as reported by the analyzer.
Possible Cause:
The analyzer may have been calibrated in an inaccurate fashion.
Solution:
Turn the analyzer off, then back on again. Press the System key when prompted by the analyzer "Press System for default Values". This will return the analyzer to its default settings in calibration and zero values. If erratic behavior continues replace the sensor.
Possible Cause:
Atmospheric Oxygen may be diffusing in through the vent and affecting the oxygen level which the sensor sees.
Solution:
Increase flow rate and/or length or vent tubing in order to dilute of mini- mize the diffusion of oxygen from the vent back to the sensor.
Problem:
Inaccurate zero operation (i.e. the user has zeroed the analyzer accidentally on gas much higher than one would normally use for a zero gas).
Solution:
Turn the analyzer off, then back on again. Press the System key when prompted by the analyzer "Press System for default Values". This will return the analyzer to its default settings in calibration and zero values. Now proceed to carefully calibrate and zero the analyzer.
