11. Turn on the controller.
CAUTION: Allow the replacement sensor to warm up for 15 minutes before you continue.
12. Calibrate the replacement sensor as described in “Calibration, Combustible Sensor”
on page 16.
Replacing the Oxygen Sensor
1. Turn off the controller.
2. Turn off power to the controller.
3. Open the housing door of the sample-draw detector.
4. Unscrew and remove the two screws that secure the sensor retaining plate, then lift
the plate, connector, and sensor out of the housing.
5. Unplug the connector from the sensor cable socket.
6. Plug the socket of the replacement sensor into the connector.
7. Place the sensor in the oxygen sensor cavity, then position the retaining plate on the
two standoffs.
8. Secure the retaining plate to the standoffs with the two screws you removed in step 4.
9. Turn on power to the controller.
10. Turn on the controller.
11. Calibrate the replacement sensor as described in “Calibration, Oxygen Sensor” on
page 17.
Replacing the Filter
1. Open the housing door of the sample-draw detector.
2. Disconnect the filter from the rubber elbows on each end of the filter, then remove the
filter from the sample-draw detector.
3. Install the new filter.
4. Verify that the flow rate is approximately 1.5 SCFH, then close the housing door.
Replacing the Ferrules
The INLET and EXHAUST fittings each includes two ferrules that seal the inlet or exhaust
tubing to the fitting. Replace the ferrules if the seal is bad or if you replace the sample
tubing. Always replace the ferrules as a pair.
1. Unscrew the nut that holds the tubing to the fitting from the fitting.
2. Slide the nut away from the end of the tubing.
3. Cut off the end of the sample tube with the old ferrules off about one inch from the
end.
4. Slide the nut off the sample tubing.
5. Position the nut so the threaded end is facing you, then insert the bottom (smaller)
ferrule into the nut. Insert the ferrule so the flat side is facing down.
NOTE: Make sure the bottom ferrule is laying flat in the nut.
