Revision Date 31 May 2007
Thank you for selecting our OXITEC® 5000 Ex as your InSitu Flue Gas Oxygen measuring system.
For many years now, our OXITEC® Ex oxygen analyser systems have been operating in numerous
applications with many thousand units being produced and shipped around the world. ENOTEC
are committed to total quality and performance and we have continuously enhanced our products
to integrate various additional features and functions. In this package, the electronic unit uses the
very latest Microprocessor Technology, making the SME5 electronic unit one of the most advanced
and up-to-date monitoring units, permitting you to reduce your maintenance & fuel costs, and to
achieve increased measuring accuracy with more operational reliability using these new monitoring
functions.
In our oxygen measuring probes you will find that the Zirconium Oxide measuring cell is soldered
in place using a special process and technique developed by our company. This results in a con-
siderably increased service life compared to "glued or cemented" measuring cells, which have a
tendency to leak or crack during operation. The OXITEC® cell is a proven gas-tight design, provid-
ing greater measuring accuracy, durability and longer working life.
All ENOTEC instruments are thoroughly tested in the factory and are subject to a strict ISO 9001
Quality Assurance procedure. Therefore, with the correct installation, the operation of the
OXITEC®5000 Ex oxygen analyser system is very easy and user friendly and will provide you with
many years of operation with perfect measuring results. Please read this manual carefully and fol-
low the instructions as directed.
In some applications only the measuring probe is located in the area designated Exd with the elec-
tronic unit installed in a safe area. For these applications ENOTEC offers an electronic unit in a
general purpose field housing with fail-safe heater switch-off. Any differences in design, installa-
tion, start-up or maintenance are specified in this manual in the respective chapter.
If you have any questions, or you are unclear about any aspect of the installation or operation, our
Service Department, regional sales offices or approved distributors will be pleased to assist. The

Note
Note
Please do not lay the probe cable near power supply ca-
bles, or near motors and their cables, as frequency con-
verters control them and this could cause interference ef-
fects. If possible, do not cross the cables because this
could also cause interference effects. However, if this is
unavoidable please make sure that these cables are only
crossed at right angles.

Warning
Warning
Warning
In some applications only the Exd certified measuring probe is located in the
hazardous area, whereas the electronic unit can be installed outside of this
danger zone. For these applications ENOTEC offers an electronic unit in gen-
eral purpose (GP) field housing with fail-safe heater switch-off. Any differences
in design, installation, start-up or maintenance are specified in this manual in
the respective chapter.

4.3 Corrosion
The probe may only be used in flue gases whose composition is not critical
regarding the corrosive effect on the materials used. Where there is an in-
creased risk of corrosion, regular checks at suitably short intervals are neces-
sary.
Working on the electronic unit and/or on the probe can only be carried out at
operating condition, if the surrounding conditions can be classified as non-
explosive.
The connection box must remain outside the hot flue gas duct up to the probe
flange. For high temperature applications, the probe is installed into the cool
end of the gas cooling tube, outside the duct.
The source voltage Uq (in former times called EMF for “electrical motive force”)
is produced by a temperature-stabilised zirconium cell indicating the amount of
oxygen concentration.
Measurement is made direct and InSitu, i.e. the measuring cell is inside the
flue gas duct at the probe end.
The measuring cell consists of a small zirconium-oxide disc about the size of a
penny, which is coated with porous layers of platinum on both sides and sol-
dered with a gas-tight seal, into the end of a steel tube cell holder.
P1
U q = K • T • log + C[ mV ]
P2
Where:
P1 = Oxygen partial pressure of the reference gas on the inside of the cell (e.g.
Ref. air)
P2 = Oxygen partial pressure of the process gas on the outside of the cell (Flue
gas - O2)
K= Natural constant
T= Temperature (measuring cell)
C[mv] = Cell constant – millivolt air/air
Uq = Source voltage
The reference gas (Instrument Air) is clean, dry and oil-free air (20.95% by
volume O2).
When different oxygen concentrations occur between the measuring and ref-
erence sides of the electrochemical cell, there is a migration of oxygen ions
from the higher to the lower partial pressure side. The mV output signal of the
cell is inversely logarithmically proportional to the oxygen content of the proc-
ess gas. With reducing oxygen content in the process gas the mV signal of the
measuring cell increases. With air on the process gas side, the ZrO2-cell gen-
erates approx. 0 mV ±5 mV (cell constant) and with 2.1% O2 approx. +50 mV
(slope of the characteristic line or decade voltage).

®
Figure 3 Design of the OXITEC 5000 analyser system with explosion-proofed O2 probe
The connection box contains the electrical connectors for the measuring cell,
the thermocouple, the probe heater and additionally the pneumatic connector
for the reference air.
The probe tube with flange provides the negative pole and serves as protec-
tion for the positive measuring line and the reference gas line to the reference
side of the measuring cell.
The O2 measuring cell itself consists of three layers: platinum, zirconium oxide
and platinum with the platinum being applied porously. The measuring cell
with its 4-hole connection flange and gasket seal can be field replaceable by
the customer, if required.
The test gas or flue gas flows through to the filter and fills the flue gas side of
the filter head. On the probe internal side, reference gas (clean, dry and oil-
free instrument air (20.95 percent by volume O2)) continuously flows through
the inner part of the probe to the measuring cell. Because of the two different
gases on each side of the measuring cell, a logarithmic mV output occurs
(high O2 concentration in the test gas = low voltage (e.g. 21% ≈ 0 mV); low O2
concentration in the test gas = high voltage (e.g. 2.1% ≈ 50 mV)). By means of
the electronic unit, this voltage (mV) is converted into a current 4-20 mA (or 0-
20 mA) with a maximum load of 500 Ohm. The current output is then directly
related to the measured oxygen value and available as an electrically isolated
output signal from the terminals (see Figure 21 on page 40 and also Figure 23
on page 42).
The temperature of 800°C / 1472°F required for the O2 measuring cell, is pro-
duced by a heater element installed inside the probe. To keep the temperature
constant, it is measured by a Ni-Cr-Ni (type K) thermocouple, and the heater
voltage is controlled by the SME 5 electronic unit equipped with a built-in tem-
perature reference point to compensate ambient temperature variations (Cold
Junction Compensation).
All cables have PUR insulation and can be used in ambient temperatures from
-40°C (-40°F) up to +90°C (194°F). During the installation only a temperature
range from -5°C (23°F) to +50°C (122°F) is permitted. The minimum bending
radius of the cable amounts to fifteen times the cable diameter.
Important
Please do not run the probe cable near power supply ca-
bles, or near motors and their cables, as frequency con-
verters control them and could cause interference.
If the pneumatic unit uses reference air and test air pumps, instead of instru-
ment air, the pneumatic cable must not be longer than 50 m. If longer
lengths are required, an additional external pump must be installed upstream,
to ensure a test air flow of 150 l/h min. even under the worst conditions.
All cables have PUR insulation and can be used in ambient temperatures from
-40°C (-40°F) up to +90°C (194°F). During the installation only a temperature
range from -5°C (23°F) to +50°C (122°F) is permitted. The minimum bending
radius of the pneumatic cable amounts to eight times the cable diameter.
The cable entries for both Ex housings are bottom entry Ex threaded connec-
tions.
The external pneumatic unit is located in a sheet steel general purpose (GP)
field housing, which does not need certification as it only contains the pneu-
matic unit components and is therefore intrinsically safe.
The instrument air version requires a clean, dry, oil-free instrument air supply
at the installation location.
The housings must be opened for service. The following is therefore abso-
lutely essential.
Warning

ment air at the point of installation.
A pump version using the surrounding ambient air for reference air and test
air.
To recognize the type of pneumatic version please look at the valve for adjust-
ing test air. (For details see page 111).
Note
Flow monitoring of the test and/or reference gas is made electronically inside
the electronic unit (only versions with built-in pneumatic unit). No manual con-
trol is necessary.

Note
The housing has bottom entry electrical cable glands, and compression fittings
for 6 mm or ¼” tubing, as specified, for the pneumatic lines.
As a standard, the electronic unit has two measuring ranges. These measur-
ing ranges can be freely defined in their initial and/or final value (within per-
missible system-related limits). The second measuring range can be switched
on remotely (digital input see Figure 23 on page 42) or manually, using the
keyboard of the electronic unit. The second measuring range is signalled re-
motely by a relay contact, and also on the display (chapter 9.5.9 on page 73).
The electronic unit is completely self-controlled. Any system errors are dis-
played as clear text with help function information. The ENOTEC user inter-
face permits intuitive operation by means of a self-explanatory menu structure.
Before cutting the hole in the flue gas duct, make sure that the inside of the
duct has enough space for probe installation, and that no soot is blown
nearby, or any obstructions are in the way.
For probe lengths exceeding 2000 mm, a support must be mounted inside the
duct (every 2 m) to prevent the probe and mounting tube from flexing or bend-
ing.
The dimensions for the hole in the flue gas duct and the mounting of the
adapter plate (mating flange) are shown in the dimensional drawing (Figure
111 on page 125). The mating flange is to be fitted by the customer, and when
mounted, ensures an airtight seal.
All dimensional drawings can be found in chapter 15 on page 123 and the fol-
lowing.

Note
9.3.1 Lambda
The air ratio factor Lambda, describes the relationship of air flow supplied ef-
fectively before combustion, to the theoretical amount of air which is neces-
sary for complete combustion. A Lambda value of 1 means the exact relation-
ship of gaseous fuel and air needed for complete combustion, and this mixture
is designated as the stoichiometric gas air mixture. With complete combustion
of the fuel, the oxygen supplied is also completely used at this stoichiometric
point. In practice this value cannot be attained. Which Lambda value here is
considered as acceptable, depends on the respective application.

Note
Having selected a parameter for the first time with the soft key [Enter], a win-
dow appears requesting the entry of a code. If the maintenance code was not
yet changed after installation, then one confirms the inquiry using [Enter] with-
out any input of numbers. To change the system code see chapter 9.5.10 on
page 74.
Note
Having entered the valid system code, a window appears where the corre-
sponding value can be selected.
The parameter to be altered is displayed in clear text with the current value. If
special functions are assigned to this parameter (like “min/max” in this exam-
ple), these are also displayed. In addition the permissible input limits of this
value are indicated (in this example 00.0 and 99.0).
With the numeric keypad, the value can be altered. To correct, the cursor can
be moved back with the [] key. The sign can be selected independently of
the cursor position with the [±] key (which would be unreasonable in this
case).
Note
The altered value has to be confirmed with the soft key [Enter].
Note
To reach the menu option "O2 Measuring Range 1" the downward arrow in the
parameter menu is pressed repeatedly until the point "Measuring Range 1" is
reached. The point is then accessed by using [Enter], and the system code is
then entered and confirmed
In the menu option "Measuring Range 1 from", the initial value of the measur-
ing range can be indicated now.
After the input of the initial value, this value will be confirmed with [Enter] and
the final value of the measuring range can be entered in the menu option "O2
Measuring Range to". As soon as this value is confirmed using [Enter], the
electronic unit is updated with the new measuring range.
Note
Note
In the menu "Select Fuel" there is a submenu for the 4 different fuels. In this
submenu, the four O2 points and the Min or Max function of the limit value
points can be adjusted.
In the menu "Limit Curves for Fuel X" the five O2 points for the corresponding
fuel can be entered. The Min or Max function can also be entered. The elec-
tronic unit calculates the theoretical point for 0% burner load from the points of
20% and 40%.
The burner load signal is connected at the analogue input "Burner Load". This
signal must be 0 to 100% for 4 to 20 mA.
At digital input 1 and 2 the fuel should be selected. This selection is coded as

Please control the flow meters for test air / test gas. In systems with the
pneumatic unit option this control is accomplished at the pneumatics unit (see
Figure 38 and Figure 39 respectively). Check whether the flow of test air
and/or the test gas amounts to 150 l/h or more and the flow of the reference
gas amounts to 40 l/h (+/- 10 l/h). If this is not the case, please check the
pneumatic connections and lines.
Two different types of pneumatics units are available. With the semi-automatic
version (see Figure 38) test air and/or test gas must be selected by means of
a rotary switch at the pneumatics unit. An automatic calibration (ACAL) is not
possible with this version.

Before you enter the system menu, you are asked to first put in the system
code.
Normally you have only to confirm the factory default code by pressing the soft
key [Enter]. This only works if the system code has not been changed. Other-
wise put in the 4-digit system code using the keypad on the right side of the
display panel, and then press the soft key [Enter].
After entering the system menu press the soft key [ ] several times until the
menu entry for the required calibration is selected. Confirm with [Enter].
In this menu item, a single point calibration with ambient air can be done. After
selecting this menu item, you are requested to begin calibration with the soft
key [Start]. Before starting the calibration the flow rate of test air and test gas
has to be checked.
The reading on the pneumatics unit (option) shows the current flow of test air.
Figure 45 Announcement: Measurement of the flow rate (on the left reference air, on the right test gas) only
systems with integrated pneumatic unit
During calibration, the cell voltage is checked for stability. This check works
according to the following criteria. The last measured value is temporarily
saved, and when the next value is outside the tolerance (±0.5mV), the internal
timer is reset, and the new value temporarily saved. This means that if the
timer was not reset, the value is stable. In this way, the last measured value
after the timer has lapsed (2 min.) is used to calculate the cell constant or
slope. The moving time bar indicates the internal timer, if the internal timer is
reset, the time bar is also reset.
When the calibration is completed, the display shows a message, which re-
quires an acknowledgement [Ok]. In the case of a successful calibration, the
message will be “Calibration Successfully Completed” (Figure 47); otherwise it
will be “O2 sensor constant out of tolerance”.
During calibration, it is possible to accept the value of the cell voltage with
[Accept] and to have the calibration parameters calculated in advance. It
should however be noted that the advanced acceptance of the cell voltage is
not recommended, because in this case the electronic system does not know
if the output is stable, and therefore the value may not be correct.
Note
Figure 48 Announcement: Measurement of the flow rate (on the left reference air, on the right test gas) only
systems with integrated pneumatic unit
In this menu item, a two point calibration with air and with a suitable test gas
concentration can be performed (for this see chapter 16.4
Note
Note
First step:
If the flow rates are correctly adjusted, start the calibration with [Start], and the
two point calibration starts fully automatically.
The first part of the calibration uses test air and the process progress is indi-
cated in the display (see Figure 50). In the second step the calibration with the
test gas is accomplished and indicated (see Figure 53). The calibration works
fully automatically and needs two minutes per calibration, which is indicated by
a moving time bar.
Second step:
If the system does not have a fully automatic pneumatics unit, test gas must
be supplied before starting the second part of the two point calibration.
If the test gas is supplied and the flow rate is controlled, the second part of the
calibration can be accomplished through pressing the soft key [Start].
For systems with fully automatic pneumatics unit, the supply of the test gas
takes place automatically and after the completion of the first part of the cali-
bration the second part can be started immediately.
In the second step, the calibration with test gas is shown on the display and
needs also approx. two minutes for calibration, which is also indicated by the
moving time bar.
During calibration, the cell voltage is checked for stability. This check works
according to the following criteria. The last measured value is temporarily
saved, and when the next value is outside the tolerance (±0.5mV), the internal
timer is reset and the new value temporarily saved. This means that if the
timer was not reset, the value is stable. In this way, the last measured value
after the timer has lapsed (2 min.) is used to calculate the constant or slope.
The moving time bar indicates the internal timer, if the internal timer is reset
the time bar is also reset.
During the Two Point Calibration, the cell voltage can be accepted in advance
with [Accept], but it should be noted that for the Two Point Calibration two cell
voltage values are required. It may therefore occur that after the manual ac-
ceptance of a value, the calibration progress bar jumps to the halfway position.
This is not an error, but means that the electronic unit is now determining the
second value, which can also be accepted manually.
Note
All settings required for an automatic calibration can be made in this menu.
These are:
Note
Please note that, there is no "real time" clock in the electronic unit. It does not
know time of day, month or year. Only a clock-pulse generator is used for
automatic calibration purposes.
Figure 55 Announcement: Measurement of the flow rate (on the left reference air, on the right test gas)
Before the System Test, check in the parameter menu, whether the set value
of oxygen concentration of test gas agrees with the actual test gas concentra-
tion. If this should not be the case, the value in the parameter menu has to be
corrected (see chapter 9.4 on page 53).
Note
Now the oxygen concentration of test gas is displayed (see Figure 58).

Damping is useful if the electronic unit oxygen output signal is spiky or rough
due to sudden process condition changes. A smooth or damped output can be
obtained with the attenuation setting feature.

Note
In this menu item, a single point calibration with ambient air can be done. After
selecting this menu item, you are requested to begin calibration with the soft
key [Start]. If the system has no pneumatic unit, test air must be supplied, and
the flow rate adjusted before the start of the calibration.
The single point calibration starts immediately and works fully automatically -
no manual intervention is required.
In the version with integrated pneumatics, the quantity of test gas is super-
vised by the electronic Unit. The horizontal bar of the following display shows
the current value of the flow rate of test air. If the gas flow corresponds to the
requirements, then this display appears only for a very short time, and the
calibration starts automatically.
Figure 71 Display: Measuring of the flow rate (only systems with intetrated pneumatic unit)
Should this not occur and the bar does not end at the point marked by an ar-
row (see Figure 71), the flow rate must be adjusted accordingly. You have
some minutes before an error message will be displayed. If an error message
occurs, the message must be confirmed, the correct flow rate adjusted and the
calibration procedure started again.
As soon as the correct flow rate is adjusted, the calibration starts automatically
(if no error message appeared).
During calibration, the cell voltage is checked for stability. This check works
according to the following criteria: The last measured value is temporarily
saved, and when the next value is outside the tolerance (±0.5mV), the internal
timer is reset, and the new value temporarily saved. This means that if the
timer was not reset, the value is stable. In this way, the last measured value
after the timer has lapsed (2 min.) is used to calculate the constant or slope.
The moving time bar indicates the internal timer, if the internal timer is reset,
the time bar is also reset.
When the calibration is completed, the display shows a message, which de-
mands acknowledgement [Ok]. In the case of a successful calibration, the
message will be “Calibration Successfully Completed” (Figure 74); otherwise it
will be “O2 sensor constant out of tolerance”. In this case the determined cali-
bration values will not be accepted and the system will continue to work with
the old values.
During calibration, it is possible to accept the value of the cell voltage with
[Accept] and to have the calibration parameters calculated in advance. It
should however be noted that the advanced acceptance of the cell voltage is
not recommended, because in this case the electronic system does not know
if the output is stable, and therefore the value may not be correct.
In this menu item, a two point calibration with air and with a test gas with a
suitable test gas concentration can be performed. It should be noted that the
concentration of the test gas must correspond to the value shown in the pa-
rameter menu.
Note
Note
After selection of this menu option you are requested to start the calibration by
pushing the [Start] key. In systems without integrated pneumatic unit, test air
must be supplied and the flow rate adjusted before the start of calibration.
Figure 75 Display: Request to start two point calibration (system without pneumatic unit)
Figure 76 Display: Request to start two point calibration (system with pneumatic unit)
With the version with integrated pneumatic unit the quantity of the test gas is
supervised by the electronic unit. The horizontal bar of the following display
shows the current value of the test air flow rate. If the gas flow corresponds to
the requirements this display only appears for a very short time, and the cali-
bration begins automatically.
Figure 77 Display: Flow rate measuring (only systems with integrated pneumatic unit)
Should this not occur and the bar does not end at the point marked by an ar-
row (see Figure 77), the flow rate must be adjusted accordingly. You have
some minutes before an error message will be displayed. If an error message
occurs, the message must be confirmed, the correct flow rate adjusted and the
calibration procedure started again.
The two point calibration takes place fully automatically in two steps. The first
step of the calibration is carried out using test air. The process progress is in-
dicated in the display (see Figure 78 and Figure 79 respectively).
Figure 78 Display: Two point calibration 1.step (system without integrated pneumatic unit)
Figure 79 Display: Two point calibration 1.step (system with integrated pneumatic unit)
The horizontal bar of the display in Figure 81 (just for systems with integrated
pneumatic unit) shows the current value of the test air flow rate. If the gas flow
corresponds to the requirements this display only appears for a very short
time, and the calibration begins automatically (see Figure 83).
Figure 80 Display: Request to start 2. step of two point calibration (system without pneumatic unit)
Figure 81 Display: Flow rate measuring (only systems with integrated pneumatic unit)
During the second step, calibration with the test gas is carried out and dis-
played. Also the second part of calibration operates fully automatically and
needs two minutes, which is indicated by a moving time bar (see Figure 82
and Figure 83 respectively).
Figure 82 Display: O2 two point calibration, 2.step (system without integrated pneumatic unit)
During calibration, the cell voltage is checked for stability. This check works
according to the following criteria. The last measured value is temporarily
saved, and when the next value is outside the tolerance (±0.5mV), the internal
timer is reset and the new value temporarily saved. This means that if the
timer was not reset, the value is stable. In this way, the last measured value
after the timer has lapsed (2 min.) is used to calculate the constant or slope.
The moving time bar indicates the internal timer, if the internal timer is reset
the time bar is also reset.
During the Two Point Calibration, the cell voltage can be accepted in advance
with [Accept], but it should be noted that for the Two Point Calibration two cell
voltage values are required. It may therefore occur that after the manual ac-
ceptance of a value, the calibration progress bar jumps to the halfway position.
This is not an error, but means that the electronic unit is now determining the
second value, which can also be accepted manually.
When the calibration is completed the display shows a message, which re-
quires acknowledgement [Ok]. In the case of a successful calibration, the
message will be “Calibration Successfully Completed”; otherwise it may be
“O2 sensor constant out of tolerance” and/or “O2 sensor slope out of toler-
ance”.
All settings required for an automatic calibration can be made in this menu.
These are:
Note
Please note that there is no "real time" clock in the electronic unit. It does not
know time of day, month or year. Only a clock-pulse generator is used for
automatic calibration purposes.
Before the System Test, check in the parameter menu whether the set value
of oxygen concentration of test gas, agrees with the actual test gas concentra-
tion. If this should not be the case, the value in the parameter menu has to be
corrected (see chapter 9.4 on page 53).
Now the oxygen concentration of test gas is displayed (see Figure 86 and
Figure 87 respectively).
Figure 87 Display: System Test with test gas (system with pneumatic unit)
In addition, this menu permits the adjustment of the correct flow of test gas re-
quired for two point calibration (only systems with integrated pneumatic unit).
The bar indicating the flow rate of test gas must end close to the vertical ar-
row.

Damping is useful if the electronic unit oxygen output signal is spiky or rough
due to sudden process condition changes. A smooth or damped output can be
obtained with the attenuation setting feature.

This menu item is reserved for ENOTEC service personnel only. It is factory-
coded.
9.6.15 Software
Here information about the software conditions is available.
If errors or alarms occur during operation, these are displayed as clear text in
the status menu. All errors and alarms must be acknowledged in this menu
display by pressing the soft key [Enter].
Note
With the key [Enter] an error or an alarm can be reset, if the condition does not
exist any longer (e.g. “Limit Value Injury”) or the error is eliminated.
Electronic unit goes on hold - this means in case of a disturbance, the elec-
tronic unit must be reset manually by pressing the RESET button. Distur-
bances are signalled by red LEDs on the circuit board. The green LED signals
the error free operating condition.
By lighting up the LED 3 with each restart of the system, as well as with the
first start-up, the system signals that the electronic unit has to be reset by
pressing the RESET button. The RESET button is directly beside the front
panel of SME5 electronic unit.

Warning
Important
The external current for the inputs (28 to 30) must be elec-
trically isolated from ground. Otherwise a malfunction or
damage to the electronic unit is possible.
Do not exceed the maximum current of 20mA.
The instrument air versions are designed for an inlet pressure of 1-10 bar.
With a higher inlet pressure than 6 bar, it is necessary to readjust the flow of
reference air and/or test air (see chapter 12.3 on page 109 and chapter 12.4
on page 110 respectively).
The flow of reference air can be checked in the actual value menu. In systems
with integrated pneumatic unit, test air and/or test gas flow can be examined
and adjusted in the system menu under System Test with Test Gas (see page
70 and 85 respectively).
Within each transmission frame there are only ASCII characters allowed but
no control characters. Therefore digits and values are transmitted as text.
Memory dumps are transmitted as HEX character strings.
A CRC8 checksum secures each transmission frame and is placed at the end
of each transmission block as a HEX character string.
The control characters are transmitted as 8 bit values and they are defined as
follows:
<STX><C><NN><UUUU><F><D....D><HH><ETX>
Positive answers will be transmitted to the master if the request block could be
interpreted correctly, and also executed.
The answer transmission block is sent with a leading ACK control character.

The flow rate of reference air and test gas is been adjusted with the help of the
flow controllers of the respective flow meters in the pneumatics unit.
In this respect, the pump and instrument air versions are different:
• In the pump version, only the flow rate of test air can be adjusted (see
Figure 98).
In systems with integrated pneumatics unit, the flow rate of reference air can
be read in the actual value menu (see chapter 9.3 on page 51). The flow rate
of calibration air can be read in the system menu under the menu point "Sys-
tem Test with Test Air" (see chapter 9.6.7 on page 86).
You may find the flow rates which have to be adjusted in chapter 10.6 on page
96.
There are differences between the pump and the instrument air version:
• In the pump version, only the flow rate of test air can be adjusted.
• In the instrumental air version, both flow rates (test air and reference
air) can be adjusted.
In systems with integrated pneumatics unit, the flow rate of reference air can
be read in the actual value menu (see chapter 9.3 on page 51). The flow rate
of calibration air can be read in the system menu under the menu point "Sys-
tem Test with Test Air" (see chapter 9.6.7 on page 86).
To change of the filter head, the protection screw on the filter head must be
loosened. The filter head can then be unscrewed and removed. The new filter
head is then screwed onto the probe tube. Before tightening the protection
screw again, the v-shield must be aligned to the flue gas stream (see for this
chapter 7.1.3 Adjusting the Filter Head on page 34).
Switch off the electronic unit, take the probe out of the protection tube and wait
until it has cooled down.
If necessary, clean the probe, removing dirt and dust, after it has cooled down.
Disconnect the wires in the connection head and loosen the two allen screws
which hold the inner parts of the tube. Pull off the thin transparent reference
air pipe from the entry fitting at the connection box.
Pull out probe internal assembly (4-hole ceramic rod with signal measuring
wire, thermocouple element and heater) carefully.
Pull off the orange insulation from the measuring signal wire but do not pull out
the signal wire with the probe inner parts, as it may be fixed/fused to the inside
of the cell.
Loosen the four allen screws at the flange of the measuring cell and remove
the measuring cell from the measuring cell tube together with signal wire, if
fixed/fused to it.
Insert a screwdriver or the like carefully between the measuring cell holder
tube and the contact net of the measuring signal wire and prise the contact
sideways away by turning the screwdriver. Remove the loosened measuring
signal wire. Slide the measuring signal wire back into the 4-hole ceramic rod
and make certain that the round contact net lies in the recess of the heater
support.
Insert the probe inner parts and ensure that the inner parts do not bind in the
probe tube. Press the locking bolt against the spring, so that the inner parts
assembly is pressed against the measuring cell with enough spring tension.

If the measured O2 value appears doubtful, first check all system parameters.
If all Parameters are correct, check the system with test gas. If the system
works correctly with test gas and there are no leakages in the area of the
probe (flanges, calibration gas connection), then the measurement is correct.
If for instance, certain system parameters are wrong, then the measured O2
value cannot be correct. With the following instructions, try to localize or repair
the fault.
1. All system parameters are correct and the ENOTEC O2 analyser system
shows the correct value with test gas.
Cause: Leakages at the measuring probe or at the measuring cell flange seal.
Causes:
a) Measuring probe heater defective (resistance must be approx. 35-42 Ohm,
disconnect probe and check). Note: De-energize probe first.
b) Thermocouple defective (check resistance, approx. 2-80 Ohm)
c) Fuse for heater voltage defective.
d) Transformer (230/115V) defective, check voltages.
e) Triggering for temperature control or electrical load relay defective.
Result 1:
The mV value is outside the usual range (see characteristic line) e.g. above
267 mV or below - 45 mV.
Result 1:
If the mV value measured at the probe is a probable O2 value according to the
cell slope and at the correct measuring temperature, the error lies between the
probe and the electronic unit.
Possible causes:
a) Cable short circuit
b) Electronic units input defective
c) Wire break
Remedies:
a) Check wiring
b) Measure probe cable
Result 2:
A mV value is measured at the probe, which is outside the usual range from -
45 mV to 267 mV.
Remedy: Check whether the probe reacts to test gas. If it does, there may be
a high proportion of combustibles in the flue gas. In this case, there are reduc-
ing conditions on the probe cell, which reduce the oxygen content on the cell
surface. Caution: Explosion hazard!
If the probe does not react, check the inner parts assembly.
1. Check measuring range. Check whether the current value is outside the
measuring range
2. Measure the mA output on the strip terminal.
Result 2: no mA value
Action:
Measure the mV value at the terminals on the board.
Causes:
a) Intermittent contact caused by wire break.
Remedies:
a) Repair intermittent contact.
