HY-OPTIMA™ 2700 Series Operating Manual Chapter 5: Supplemental Information and Troubleshooting 5.1 Storage Note: Oxidation effects are not applicable to the model 2720 as it is designed to operate in air. 5.1.1 Storage Oxidation & Offsets Analyzer readings will develop an offset when the sensor element is not exposed to hydrogen. This offset accumulates slowly while the sensor is in storage, and quickly while the sensor is powered on without being exposed to hydrogen.
H2scan recommends this approach whenever it is feasible. For a fee, H2scan will keep a customer’s backup analyzers continuously powered on in hydrogen gas at our calibration facility, and ship out the fully conditioned backup sensor when it is needed.
24 hours or until stability is observed. • Once the sensor is stable, perform a field calibration with two gases. • If the sensor does not stabilize, contact H2scan for support. 90000056 R8 Page 39 of 45...
Sometimes the error occurs because of a transient condition (“glitch”). If “htroff” is displayed, cycle the power to the analyzer. It should return to normal operation. If the error is permanent, the analyzer must be returned to H2scan for examination. Error_XXXX The following table lists possible errors and the code numbers that could appear on the display.
Enter then ESC. Verify the serial connections and FoxTerm Settings. No H2scan: Prompt: If pressing Enter then ESC does not show the H2scan: prompt, and FoxTerm is connected to the correct COM, port refer to the Section 5.5.6 Analyzer Command Line for further instructions.
The analyzer is sending data to the serial port as measurements are made which is typically every second. Pressing the Enter then ESC keys should show the H2scan prompt.
