Meter Checks:
Cold junctions:
RTD type (red/black or red/white wire)
o Resistance approx. 1100Ω at room temperature, no polarity (2 wire PT1000 RTD).
Typical failure is Open or shorted.
Transistor type
o Checks out like a diode. One direction is high resistance (typically in the MΩ) then
the other direction will be open. Typical failure will have high resistance both
directions or low resistance in both directions.
Testing O2 cell:
1. Perform a 2 point calibration. Check the cell resistance (under the magnifying glass
button). Consider replacing the O2 cell if it is higher than 1000Ω. Higher resistance
means the response time is reduced and can cause calibration errors if the response is
very slow.
2. Remove the cell + & - wires from the channel card.
3. Place a short between the Cell + & - on the channel card.
4. Turn power off and on with the channel card power under maintenance and allow the
channel to come up to temperature
5. Note: Channel should read ~21% and the reading should be stable. If the unit comes up
with a cell failure or the reading is erratic the problem is in the channel card.
6. Apply Zero and/or Span gas (500 cc/Min). Measure the loose wires at the electronics.
7. Span Gas (instrument Air) should read close to 0 mV (+/- 5 mV)
8. Zero Gas Should read as follows:
