    RTU: The F901B sensor can be configurated to operating in RTU (RS485) mode by setting the MODBUS_MODE register and swapping the internal cables inside the sensor. See below for RTU specifications. Please contact Felix Instruments for details on how to configure sensor hardware in RTU mode. RTU RS485 Configuration...

    Power off device before you proceed  Make sure you have sufficient ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection  Follow the below steps carefully to ensure proper sensor installations Step 1: Remove the F-901B top cover Socket Sensor Connectors C2H4 sensor Filter Tube O2 sensor Step 4: Pull C2H4 sensor off socket.
  • Page 13 Step 5: remove short-cutting spring from new C2H4 sensor. (the spring keeps sensor from sensitivity/baseline drift during storage. Save it later for your old sensor) Step 6: remove old C2H4 sensor from connector, Plug in the new C2H4 sensor then push into socket push into socket Step 8: Apply force to both ends, gently Step 7: screw new O2 sensor into socket...
  • Page 14: Calibration

    All units are shipped factory‐calibrated. Over time all sensors require recalibration to ensure accuracy. There are several options for calibration:  You can ship your F-901B or individual sensor back to us for calibration  You can order pre-calibrated sensors from us to replace your current sensors ...
  • Page 15 Calibration Procedures C2H4 Sensor Calibration Calibrating span on the C2H4 sensor should be performed in Trigger measurement mode. During this mode sensor only sampling for 35 seconds per sampling interval, therefore make sure calibration gas is applied properly during the sampling duration. Ignore initial measurements if necessary (flush measurements). A zero calibration is not necessary, however you can use Holding Register address 2 (C2H4_ZERO) to fine-tune the measurement baseline.
  • Page 16 2. Apply fresh air (400ppm) at device inlet 3. Monitor sensor measurement at Input Register address 1 and wait until reading stabilized (~2 minutes) 4. Set ZERO_CO2 Coil (address 2) to request zero action (write 1 or TRUE value to register) 5.
  • Page 17 1. Apply fresh air at device inlet 2. Monitor sensor measurement at Input Register address 2 and wait until reading stabilized (typically 2 to 3 measurement updates in Trigger mode or >=2 minutes in Continuous mode) 3. Set SPAN_209_O2 Coil (address 1) to request calibration action (write 1 or TRUE value to register) 4.
