(depending upon the configuration ordered). For gases heavier than Nitrogen the specific gas must be specified at time of order, and many heavy gases may be accommodated, with a few limitations. Consult Servomex, prior to ordering, for details. The scale factor adjustment control will be labeled with the factory configured scale factor (example: % N in Ethylene).

Disclaimer The method used to correct the calibration of the Servomex Oxygen Analyzer for measurement in non-nitrogen background gases is derived from a well known theoretical mass transfer equation. This equation accounts for the change in oxygen diffusion rates through different gases.

The pump connector will have 110 VAC present even if the analyzer is running on 220 VAC. The pump connector is intended to power the Servomex 5 watt pump only. The pump control wires should be in a shielded cable (separate from the sensor signal) with the shield attached to the ground stud on the back of the analyzer.
10 Maintenance and Calibration Checks 10.1Sensor Maintenance Servomex analyzers require no routine maintenance other than the occasional addition of Servomex Hummingbird Brand Replenishment Solution to the sensor. Exposure to dry gas samples will gradually extract liquid from the sensor. Under these conditions, the frequency of solution additions will be slightly higher.
10.2Calibration All Servomex analyzers are calibrated with certified gas standards at the factory prior to shipment. No additional calibration is required before use. Depending on the application, the span calibration should be checked approximately every twelve months using a gas of known concentration and high quality plumbing components.
10.2.2 Adjusting Calibration (with the Gas Scale Factor Option installed) For analyzers that have Scale Factor installed, the Span calibration potentiometer is located to the right of the Sensor Off switch. Maintenance and Calibration Checks DF-150E...
Before attempting to clean the analyzer, turn off all power and unplug the cord. Clean the outside of the enclosure with a soft cloth dampened slightly with water. Avoid the use of solvents or ammonia based cleaners. DF-150E Maintenance and Calibration Checks...
11 Theory of Operation The Servomex Coulometric Sensor uses an ambient temperature oxygen reaction that is non-depleting. The cell produces a current flow that is determined by the number of oxygen molecules that are reduced at the cathode. The sensor reaction is driven by 1.3 Volts applied across the electrodes.

For example, if the analyzer is calibrated for nitrogen, a helium sample gas will not be measured accurately. Be sure Sensor Off switch is not pushed in. Contact your local Servomex Business Center for assistance. Table 9: Possible Solutions DF-150...
If there is a valve or regulator up stream of the analyzer, it should be kept fully open and flow rate adjustments should be made with the downstream flow control valve in the flowmeter. NOTE All negative pressure flow control must be accomplished downstream of the sensor. Troubleshooting DF-150E...
As a result, if the analyzer is recalibrated at lower than normal flow rates, the new flow rate must be held within +/- 10%. The normal insensitivity of Servomex sensors to flow rate changes is the basis for the Flow Sensitivity Leak Check Method described in the section on Leaks found on page 38.
12.4Fuse Replacement DANGER The instrument power switch must be in the OFF position and the power cord unplugged before removing the fuse holder cap. Failure to do so may expose the operator to hazardous voltages. All fuses within the analyzer are user replaceable. The main power fuse is located on the rear panel above the AC power connector.
13 Shipping the Analyzer If it becomes necessary to ship the analyzer for service contact your local Servomex Business Center to obtain a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. Be sure to mark the Return Material Authorization number on the outside of the shipping carton and on the packing list.
