12.2.2 Measures Taken When Alarms are Generated
12.2.2.1 Alarm 1, Alarm 2, and Alarm 3 Oxygen Concentration Alarm, Humidity Alarm and Mixing Ratio
Alarm
These alarms occur when a measured value exceeds an alarm set value or falls below it.
For details on these alarms, see Section 8.3, “Alarm Setting.”
12.2.2.2 Alarm 6: Zero-point Calibration Coefficient Alarm
In automatic or semiautomatic calibration, this alarm is generated when the zero
correction factor is out of the range of 100
Ϯ 30% (refer to Section 9.1.3, “Compensa-
tion”). The following can be considered the causes for this:
(1) The zero-gas oxygen concentration does not agree with the value of the zero-gas
concentration set “Calibration Setup.” Otherwise, the span gas is used as the zero
gas.
(2) The zero-gas flow is out of the specified flow (600
Ϯ60 mL/min).
(3) The sensor assembly is damaged and so cell voltage is not normal.
(1) Confirm the following and carry out calibration again: If the items are not within
their proper states, correct them.
a. If the indication for “Zero gas conc.” is selected in “Calibration setup,” the set
point should agree with the concentration of zero gas actually used.
b. The calibration gas tubing should be constructed so that the zero gas does not
leak.
(2) If no alarm is generated as a result of carrying out re-calibration, it is suspected that
improper calibration conditions were the cause of the alarm in the preceding calibra-
tion. In this case, no specific restoration is necessary.
(3) If an alarm is generated again as a result of carrying out re-calibration, deterioration
of or damage to the sensor assembly is suspected as the cause of the alarm. Replace-
ment of the cell with a new one is necessary. However, before replacement, carry
out the following:
Check the cell voltages when passing the zero gas and span gas.
a. Display the detailed data display by pressing the detail display key in the basic
panel display.
b. When the
᭢ key is pressed once, the cell voltage should be indicated on the
top line (Figure 12.5).
c. Check whether or not the value of the displayed cell voltage is very different
from the theoretical value at each oxygen concentration. Confirm the theoreti
cal values of the cell voltage in Table 12.3. Although it cannot be generally
specified as to what extent the difference from the theoretical value is allowed,
consider it to be approximately
Ϯ10 mV.

(4) Confirm whether deterioration of or damage to the sensor assembly that caused the
alarm has occurred abruptly during the current calibration in the following procedure:
a. Call up the detailed data display.
