  • Page 5: Description

    DM-534C Oxygen Sensor Assembly DESCRIPTION Detcon MicroSafe™ Model DM534C, oxygen deficiency sensors are non-intrusive “Smart” sensors designed to detect and monitor O2 in air over the range of 0-25%. One of the primary features of the sensor is its method of automatic calibration which guides the user through each step via instructions displayed on the backlit LCD.
  • Page 6: Base Connector Board

    DM-534C Oxygen Sensor Assembly Base Connector Board The base connector board is mounted in the explosion proof enclosure and includes: the mating connector for the control circuit, reverse input and secondary transient suppression, input filter, and lugless terminals for field wiring. Wiring to O2 Sensor Customer...
  • Page 7: Principle Of Operation

    DM-534C Oxygen Sensor Assembly Figure 4 Explosion proof enclosures PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION Method of detection is by a controlled rate of diffusion. Air and gas diffuse through a sintered stainless steel filter and a diffusion barrier. As oxygen is adsorbed into the electrolyte solution a current is generated between the cathode and anode electrodes.

  • Page 9: Normal Operation

    Field Wiring Table (4-20 mA output) Detcon MicroSafe™ O2 sensor assemblies require three conductor connection between power supplies and host electronic controllers. Wiring designators are + (DC), - (DC), and mA (sensor signal). Maximum single conductor resistance between sensor and controller is 10 ohms. Maximum wire size for termination in the sensor assembly terminal board is 14 AWG.

Use appropriate conduit seals.
  • Page 12: Remote Mounting Applications

    This is usually true in instances where the gas sensor head must be mounted in a location that is difficult to access. Such a location creates problems for maintenance and calibration activities. Detcon provides the DM-534C sensor in a remote-mount configuration in which the sensor (Model DM-534C-RS) and the transmitter (Model DM-534C-RT) are provided in their own condulet housing and are interfaced together with a three conductor cable.

  • Page 15: Calibration Procedure - Span

    DM-534C Oxygen Sensor Assembly Calibration Procedure - Span NOTE 1: Before performing an ambient air O span calibration, be sure there is no oxygen deficient condition present. CAUTION: Verification of the correct calibration gas level setting and calibration span gas concentration is required before “span” calibration. These two numbers must be equal.
  • Page 16: Additional Notes

    DM-534C Oxygen Sensor Assembly Additional Notes 1. Upon entering the calibration menu, the 4-20 mA signal drops to 2 mA and is held at this level until you return to normal operation. 2. If during calibration the sensor circuitry is unable to attain the proper adjustment for span, the sensor will enter into the calibration fault mode and cause the display to alternate between the sensor’s current status reading and the calibration fault screen which appears as: “CAL FAULT”...
  • Page 17: Status Of Programming And Sensor Life

    “CAL FAULT” Fail-safe/Fault Supervision Detcon MicroSafe™ sensors are programmed for failsafe operation. Any of the following fault condition will illuminate the fault LED, and cause the display to read its corresponding fault condition: “SENSOR FAULT”, or “CAL FAULT”.
