1. Introduction
This document provides detailed calibration procedures for the Oxygen Detector (OLCT) to ensure accurate measurement and reliable performance. Follow the instructions carefully to avoid operational errors.
2. Equipment Required
- Multimeter (for current measurement)
- Nitrogen (N₂) gas cylinder (for zero calibration)
- Minus (-) screwdriver
3. Current (mA) Connection Setup
- Disconnect one signal cable from the terminal block.
- Connect the multimeter probes between the terminal block and the disconnected cable.
- Wait for the oxygen detector to stabilize until it transmits the normal current (mA).
- ⚠️ Note: When reconnecting the cable, the current will initially display 2.0 mA, then gradually increase to match atmospheric values. It will stabilize to the normal condition within 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Zero Calibration Procedure
- Turn the selector valve to Calibration Mode on the control cabinet.
- Supply Nitrogen (N₂) gas to the oxygen sensor through the calibration connector until stabilization is achieved.
- Adjust the output current to 3.86 mA (0.0%) using the Zero Potentiometer on the O₂ sensor.
- If the display does not read 0%, remove the O₂ detector cover and adjust to 0% (4 mA) using a minus (-) screwdriver.
⚠️ Caution: Ensure the N₂ gas flow is stable before performing adjustments to avoid inaccurate calibration.
5. Span Calibration Procedure
- Disconnect the input/output tubes from the oxygen detector then unscrew the sampling cap to allow fresh air to flow freely and expose it to the atmosphere.
- Observe the output current (mA) as it gradually increases.
- Confirm the oxygen concentration on the monitor reads approximately 20.9%.
- If the concentration is incorrect, adjust the output current to 15.05 mA (20.9%) using the Span Potentiometer on the O₂ sensor.
⚠️ Important: The O₂ sensor must be calibrated at 20.9% oxygen concentration in a fresh atmospheric environment.
6. Output Current Reference Table
Output Current (mA) | Display Value (%) | Calibration Condition |
---|---|---|
4.00 mA | 0.0% | Zero Calibration with N₂ Gas |
15.05 mA | 20.9% | Span Calibration in Fresh Air |
