6 Maintenance
 
Review Section 3 Safety Warnings and Section 7 Troubleshooting for 
guidelines on servicing the devices. 
 
6.1 Serviceability 
Do not open the main compartment of the analyzer, as it contains no service-
able parts inside. Never attempt to repair the analyzer or sensor by yourself as 
you may damage the analyzer which could void the warranty. 
 
6.1.2 Cleaning / Reuse Instructions 
Clean the device, oxygen sensor and accessories with a soft cloth dampened 
with either water or mild isopropyl alcohol solution (70% isopropyl alcohol 
solution in water), if necessary, before re-use. Allow the components to air-dry 
after cleaning. 
 
6.2 Battery Replacement 
The Palm O2 Oxygen Analyzer is powered by two 1.5V AA alkaline batteries 
with an approximate life of 13,000 hours. 
 
A low battery indicator circuit monitors the battery supply 
voltage and sends a signal directly to the LCD when the bat-
tery voltage reaches a preset level that activates the battery 
symbol in the LCD. 
 
The batteries are located the top section or front of the ana-
lyzer and secured by terminals mounted directly on the PCB 
Assembly. 
Procedure: 
1. Open the enclosure: Remove the four (4) Phillips 
screws from the rear of the enclosure, FIG 1.
2. Separate the enclosure and an place it on a flat
surface, FIG 2.
3. Remove the battery: Grasp the middle of a battery
and gently pull straight up.
4. Locate the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals
on the battery.
5. Assure the battery contacts are clean. 
6. Align the battery’s positive (+) terminal with the 
corresponding (+) battery symbol printed on the 
PCB Assembly. 
7. Install the battery: Align the battery over the termi-
nal clip mounted on the PCB Assembly and press 
down until the battery snaps into place, FIG 2. 
8. Repeat steps 3-7 with the remaining battery. 
9. Reassemble the device as shown in section 6.4 
10. Calibrate, see section 4.4, the device after replacing the batteries. 
 
6.3 Oxygen Sensor Replacement - Standard Integral Sensor 
The design of the electronics is intended for only the Analytical Industries Inc. 
AII-11-75-PO2 or AII-11-75-PO2R Oxygen Sensors. Use of a different oxygen 
sensor may result in an erroneous oxygen reading. 
 
NEVER - Open the oxygen sensor or probe the sensing surface, refer 
to Section 10 in the event the sensor should leak and someone comes 
in contact with the electrolyte from inside the sensor. 
 
Procedure - Standard Integral Sensor 
1. See 6.2 step 1 above. 
2. See 6.2 step 2 above. 
3. Disconnect the oxygen sensor: Press 
down on the latch arm, see arrow, 
and pull back on the male connector 
attached to the sensor from the fe-
male connector attached to the PCB 
Assembly, FIG 3.
