Troubleshooting
The troubleshooting guide describes symptoms, probable causes, and recommended
action for problems you may encounter with the oxygen transmitter.
NOTE: This troubleshooting guide describes transmitter problems only. See the
controller operator’s manual for problems you may encounter with the
controller.
Replacing Components of the Oxygen Transmitter
This section includes procedures to replace the oxygen detector and amplifier.
Replacing the Oxygen Detector
1. Turn off the controller.
2. Turn off power to the controller.
3. Remove the junction box cover.
4. Disconnect the detector leads from the detector terminal strip. Note the position of the
color-coded leads as you remove them.
5. Unscrew the detector from the junction box.
6. Guide the detector leads of the replacement detector through the bottom conduit hub
of the junction box, then screw the mounting threads of the detector into the conduit
hub and tighten firmly.

Condition Symptom(s) Probable Causes Recommended Action
Fail Condition • Controller indicates a
fail condition.
• The transmitter wiring
is disconnected or
misconnected.
• The transmitter is
malfunctioning.
1. Verify that the transmitter wiring is
correct and secure.
2. Calibrate the transmitter.
3. If the fail condition continues, replace
the oxygen sensor.
4. If the fail condition continues, contact
RKI for further instruction.
Slow or No
Response/
Difficult or
Unable to
Calibrate • Transmitter responds
slowly or does not
respond to response
test.
• Unable to accurately
set the fresh air or
zero reading during
calibration.
• Transmitter requires
frequent calibration.
Note: Under “normal”
circumstances, the
transmitter requires
calibration once every
three months.
Some applications may
require a more frequent
calibration schedule.
• The calibration cylinder
is low, out-dated, or
defective.
• The transmitter is
malfunctioning.
1. Verify that the calibration cylinder
contains an adequate supply of a
fresh test sample.
2. If the calibration/response difficulties
continue, replace the oxygen sensor.
3. If the calibration/response difficulties
continue, contact RKI for further
instruction.
