Step 1 – Analyzer Installation WARNING: The internal components of the Model 5124BE-N1-WO analyzer and the remote sensor are fragile. Do not drop the analyzer or the remote sensor during installation. Do not expose the unit to shock or vibration during installation. Failure to comply may damage the fragile components inside the analyzer and remote sensor may result in loss of warranty.
Step 2 – Sensor Installation All pneumatic connections are to be made to the Model 5124BE-N1-WO remote sensor. The remote sensor is designed to be screwed-on in-situ to the process vessel at which the oxygen concentration measurements are to be made. Drill the Sample Port.
Step 3 – Electrical Installation CAUTION: Be sure all mains power supply is off before attempting the electrical connections to the analyzer and remote sensor. DO NOT WORK WITH LIVE WIRES! Do not leave any exposed wire at the connectors or cables. Before applying power, ensure terminal blocks are fully inserted into the mating connector at the analyzer.
Page 14
CAUTION: In order to comply with CE EN61326-1:2006 standards, all electrical connections to the three terminal blocks on the back of the analyzer are to be made using shielded cable conductors. Each electrical connection to the terminal blocks must be looped through the ferrite clamp provided. If more than one shielded cable conductor is used, the individual wires from the different cables may share the same ferrite clamp.

First Time Power Up Instructions 1. Apply Ambient Air to the External Sensor Sample Port: Apply clean, dry oil-free ambient air to the process vessel. See the analyzer installation manual for more detail. Regulate the ambient air supply in your process vessel to match process conditions. Do not exceed 10 PSI.
6. Verify Outputs: If the Model 5124BE-N1-WO analyzer indicates between 20.8% and 21.0% after warm-up, and all the first-time power-up verifications have been completed, Check the fault, temperature OK, and oxygen alarm relay contacts to ensure that they are wired properly and functioning normally.
D. Features The Model 5124BE-N1-WO analyzer is intended to be used to measure oxygen concentrations in inert background. The analyzer comes equipped with several operational features. Each feature will be discussed in detail separately: • Four relay outputs: TEMPERATURE OK, FAULT, ALARM 1 and ALARM 2. •...
Troubleshooting Oxygen Alarm 1 & Alarm 2 Relays The Oxygen Alarm 1 and Alarm 2 relay activation depend on the following Model 5124BE- N1-WO Analyzer settings. Refer to the software setup log shipped with the analyzer to determine your actual settings. ...
Analog Voltage & Analog Current Output The analog voltage and analog current output produce either a voltage or a current output proportional to the measured oxygen concentration. For the analog voltage, the zero scale is always 0 volts. The full scale is programmed at the factory to be either 1, 5, or 10 volts. For the analog current output, the zero-scale output is 4 milliamperes and the full-scale output is 20 milliamperes.
