Model 14 Oxygen Analyzer
Chapter 7:
Start-up and Troubleshooting
7.1 Start-up
7.1.1 Probe Connection
See page 3-3 for the terminal connection.
7.1.2 Main Power Supply Connection
Remove aluminum plate inside the Model 14. Power
should be connected to the “Mains” terminal indicated
on the plate. See Page 3-3 for terminal connections.
7.1.3 Starting the Analyzer
When switched on, the analyzer performs an automatic
test of its electronics and displays a first value. Wait
until the measurement has stabilized (max. 30 min).
Do not calibrate the analyzer before the temperature
and the concentration are stable. (See Chapter 6.)
Note 1: Never shake the probe during a calibration, it
may provoke an introduction of oxygen in the elec-
trolyte and temporarily increase the cell current.
7.2 Functional Troubleshooting
Causes and solutions:
A) There is an electrolyte leak (through the mem-
brane). The current is too high because of an exces-
sive penetration of oxygen.
➯ Change the membrane.
B) The electrolyte is contaminated.
➯ Change the electrolyte.
Causes and solutions:
A) The membrane has been torn.
➯ Change the membrane.
B) Cable or connections have been damaged.
➯ Check the connection to the transmitter. If
the connection is correct check the connections
of the probe connector.
Causes and solutions:
A) There is humidity or water in the probe connector.
➯ Dry the connector. Check connections.
B) Incorrect connection.
➯ Check the connections of the transmitter to
the probe.
C) Electromagnetic interferences close to the probe
or transmitter cable.
➯ Find a better place for the cable and check
the EMC level.
7-1
PROBLEM: Excessive time for stabilization
or no stabilization during air calibration.
PROBLEM: Significant instability in
measuring mode
PROBLEM: No significant current increase
when the probe is in the air during
calibration
