The “good” reading depends on the class of cell your analyzer is

using.

Although the B-1 cell is standard in the 3000PB, check Specific

Model Information in the Front Matter in this manual for the class of
cell you purchased
. Then check Table 5-1, the Cell Indices table below,
and do the prescribed calculations. If the resulting value is below the Cell
Output reading, replace the cell.

To find out if the cell is too weak:

1. Flow span gas through the analyzer, and allow time to purge.

2. With span gas flowing, read the raw output of the cell from the

System

function display.

3. Divide the raw output reading by the percent oxygen

concentration of your span gas.

If the quotient is less than the Index value for the cell class you are

using, replace the cell.
