METROTEC Safety instructions Please read through this operating manual very carefully before in- & stalling and commissioning the unit. Incorrect utilisation will invalidate the guarantee! Correct functioning and the operating safety of the unit can only be guaranteed if the ambient conditions specified in the Specifications chapter are maintained.
METROTEC Preface With the aid of an oxygen sensor , the measurement unit serves to measure the oxygen partial pressure in gaseous atmospheres. Such sensors work at high temperatures and so it is neces- sary for measures to be taken to ensure that no flammable gas mixtures contact the sensor or the unit.
METROTEC Introduction Measurement principle Oxygen measurement units are designed to process signals transmitted from an ox- ygen sensor constructed of stabilized zirconium oxide. Zirconium oxide, a ceramic material that is also spoken of as a solid-state electrolyte, acts as an excellent oxy- gen-ion conductor when at a high temperature.
METROTEC Measurement electronics The electronic circuit of the measurement unit Type GSM provides the following functions: Measurement of the oxygen partial pressure Maintaining the oxygen content at a preset level Generating alarm signals Option: Calculation of the dew point Option: Calculation of the air factor lambda point The device is operated with the aid of a keypad.
METROTEC Description of the measurement electronics The elements at the front of the unit are in three groups Keypad: The keypad has four keys by means of which all the necessary functions can be effected. Display: The graphic display provides for the display of measured values, data, time graphs and mes- sages.

METROTEC When the gas inlet is opened and the gas pump is switched on, the unit should indicate 20.9 % O If necessary, a correction can be made as detailed under "Correction" in the oper- ating instructions. The gas who's properties are to be measured is then fed to the sensor. The rate of flow should...
METROTEC Putting the unit into operation Switching the unit on Once all electrical connections have been made and checked, the power plug is plugged in. After waiting for about 15 minutes for the sensor to be heated up, the unit indicates the oxy- gen content of the gas concerned.
METROTEC 5.4.4 Location of condensate collectors When fitting a condensate collection vessel, especially one for water, it should be ensured that it is located at the lowest point in the entire piping system.. It should be borne in mind that the filling of empty space in condensate collectors and filters will result in some delay in effecting measurements 5.4.5 Filter system arrangement:...
METROTEC Operation A few seconds after switching on, the first page is displayed as follows: Each page has a headline that is separated by a line from the rest of the display. This headline indicates the page number and the title or an outstanding fault message. Beneath the line there is either a graph or a 6-line text.

METROTEC Þ The two arrow keys provide for moving the cursor line upwards or downwards or for in- creasing or decreasing values when alterations to entry fields are enabled. Þ The key on the right provides for a) Opening a display page b) Opening an entry field to enable an entry to be made c) Closing an entry field and storing an entry.
METROTEC Configuration Enablement of Configuration Before parameters can be altered it is first necessary to overcome the disablement code. Only then is access to additional pages possible. Enablement is effected as follows: 1. Select the page entitled CODE in the page selection table.
METROTEC You then have access to the page selection list once more. Note: Access to parameters and configurations is enabled for only a limited period. (90 seconds) If more time is needed, then it will be necessary to repeat the steps needed t overcome the disa- blement code.
METROTEC Here you can adjust the measured value with an set point value of a test gas by varying “EMF+” or “EMF*”. The result is displayed under “LOG” and “O2” The value 0.00 for the additive correction and of 1.0 for the multiplicative correction means that no correction is to be applied to the determined EMF value.

METROTEC Alarm output The definition of Alarm is self evident. It has also to be defined whether the physical output is to be a relay or a semiconductor. Control output It has also to e defined whether the physical control output is to be a relay or a semiconductor.
METROTEC Scaling of the trend graphs The scaling of the graphs cannot be altered. Alterations to the axes can only be effected by the supplier. Exception: The Y-axis will be enlarged 4 times if „+“will be pressed. Pressing „-„ the origi- nal scale is active again.
METROTEC Lambda For some applications it is of importance to know the lambda value of a combustion gas or of a gas/air mixture. In this case, lambda is defined as follows: Lambda = (combustion air supplied)/( combustion air theoretically required) If this feature is required, it is necessary for a characteristic value to be entered in the "Param-...
METROTEC Interfaces Analog interfaces The device has three 0 – 20 mA analogue interfaces all of which can be active at the same time. A change to 4 – 20 mA can be effected by the user. Digital interfaces 9.2.1 Standard interfaces There are two relays, either of which can be defined as either a control output or as an alarm output.
METROTEC 9.2.2 Optional interface: RS 485 The interface plug is at rear site between the connector block To define the interface it first must be entered at “Lockout” the code 5 in line “Comm”. Then skip to the definition-page with 2 times pressing the “Esc” button. Following the interface-...

METROTEC 10.2 Filter factor If there is excessive fluctuation in the measured values, it is possible to apply an attenuation factor of between 0 and 200. This attenuation factor has an integration effect on the oxygen value. The necessary entry is detailed under "Configuration Process parameters".
METROTEC 10.4 Coding To prevent unauthorised amendment of important entries, the pages concerned are only dis- played once an access code has been entered (see under "Enablement of configuration") On this page there is provision for programming a new access code.
