Optional - Temperature Controlled Heater System with Runaway Protection Circuit
The standard GPR-2600 Series analyzer is not equipped with the heater system. However, in anticipation of very low ppm (high
ppb) oxygen analysis, the user may elect to add the heater system. If the analyzer is equipped with an optional temperature
controlled heater system, open the front door of the analyzer to access it. This unit is a PID controller which operates between
0-99
°F. The controller is programmed to maintain the temperature at 85°F.
Caution: Do not change this setting. A higher temperature
setting may drastically reduce sensor life and possibly cause
damage to the electronic circuitry of both the controller and the
analyzer.
Warning:
Keep the front door securely fastened and closed when
the temperature controller is ON.
When power is applied to the temperature controller, the controller
tunes itself to eliminate and/or minimize the over/under shoot of
temperature from the set point. It is recommended that at initial
start-up, when replacing the oxygen sensor or when trouble
shooting, turn off the power to the heater or set the temperature
set point at 60
°F (to turn the heater off) to prevent overheating
the analyzer. When operating the analyzer under normal
conditions, set the temperature controller at 85⁰F.

Changing the display value from °F to °C:
1. Push the UP ARROW and ENTER buttons down for 5 seconds to access the SECURE MENU
2. Press INDEX to advance to the F-C MENU
3. Select
°C or °F by pressing the UP ARROW key
4. Press the ENTER key when F-C starts flashing on the display
5. Press INDEX to exit the SECURE MENU
Heater Runaway Protection
Part of the optional temperature controlled heater system is a heater runaway protection circuit that protects the electronics in
the event the temperature controller should fail and thereby allowing the heater to runaway damaging the components inside
the analyzer.
The runaway protection is provided by a J2 type device positioned between the temperature controller and the heater. This
device cuts-off power to the heater if the temperature inside the analyzer exceeds 70
°C. Should the J2 device cut power to the
heater, correct the problem and reset the runaway protector device by exposing it to 0 °C for a few minutes (a refrigerator
freezer will do).
