Maintenance Maintenance As a result of extensive self-diagnosis, the measuring system is essentially maintenance-free. Maintenance is restricted to the calibration and the cleaning of dust or other deposits; as well as the cyclic replacement of the ZrO measuring element. Probe Testing and Calibration The checking / calibration has to be built (advantageously installed) in at normal operating temperature and carried out under operating conditions.

Maintenance 5.1.7 Premature Cold Start Termination Occasionally, it might be necessary to terminate the COLD START prematurely, e.g., after a short-term power failure, but not before a minimum waiting period of 120 seconds has expired. NOTICE A premature cold start termination leads directly into measurement operation without an addi- tional prompt.
Maintenance 5.1.8 Calibrating the Probe Maintenance mode has to be activated before running a calibration process, see chapter 5.1.5 Activate/deactivate Maintenance Mode. This deactivates probe failures and avoids fault con- ditions. After finishing the calibration process successfully, maintenance mode must be deac- tivated.
Maintenance 5.1.8.1 Offset Calibration perform to 21 % O value is equivalent to 15 (see menu 211 and Before offset calibration, check whether R 213 in chapter 5.1.3 Reading the Measured Values). Otherwise, proceed as described in chapter 5.1.6 Response of the Internal Resistance Reg- ulation.

Maintenance Using the keys and ENTER triggers the offset calibration Confirm the setting with ENTER within 10 s, otherwise the value is rejected. The U-O value stabilises to values between +10 ... -20 mV. The R internal probe resistance value is 15 .
Maintenance 5.1.8.2 Calibrating in the Operating Point with Reference Measurement • Activate MAINTENANCE mode. NOTICE At least access level 1 required! The calibration can be performed by reference measurement using an external measuring de- vice or by using test gas at a known O concentration (LS2default design only).
Maintenance Adjust and calibrate the O values with Confirm the calibration within 5 s with Otherwise the calibration will be rejected. • Deactivate MAINTENANCE mode. 5.1.9 Checking/Calibrating with Test Gas For the standard design of the LS2 Lambda Probe, a special testing device is required (type 650R1015).

Maintenance Test probe 1. Install probe: Push probe into the testing device until stop. 2. Heat up probe: A cold probe has to be heated up for at least 45 minutes in the installed condition. Should an already heated up probe be installed in the testing device, then wait for 15 minutes. CAUTION! The testing device with plugged in heated probe would get hot.

Disposal Notes Disposal Notes 10.1 Environmental Protection, Waste Disposal The design of Lambda Transmitter and LS2 is also based on environmental considerations. The modules can easily be separated and sorted into distinct types, and recycled accordingly. The device contains electrical and electronic components and must not be disposed of as do- mestic waste.
Wet/Dry Measurement Deviations, Conversion Table NOTICE The LT3 carries out measurements directly in the humid flue gases (wet measurement). When extractive devices are used, flue gases are removed and prepared. Dry measurements are normally used here, since the humidity has been extracted from the flue gas.
