® operation and maintenance must be performed in accordance with this manual. Please read the manual thoroughly before using the analyzer and do not attempt any repair or procedure that is not described herein. Maxtec cannot warrant any ® damage resulting from misuse, unauthorized repair or improper maintenance of the instrument.

Use of the MAXO near devices that generate electrical fields may cause erratic ® readings. If the MAXO is ever exposed to liquids (from spills or immersion) or to any ® other physical abuse, turn the instrument OFF and then ON. This will allow the unit to go through its self test to assure everything is operating correctly.

Safety Labeling The following symbols and safety labels are found on the MAXO ® Attention, Consult ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS Off/On Calibration Found to meet the requirements of U.S. and Canadian nationally recognized codes and standards listed or classified by ETL. Do not throw away. Dispose of properly in accordance with local regulations. W W W .
1.0 SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.1 Base Unit Description The MAXO analyzer provides unparalleled performance and reliability due ® to an advanced design that includes the following features and operational benefits. • Extra-life oxygen sensor of approximately 900,000 O percent hours (2-year warranty) •...
1.2 Component Identification FIGURE 1 1.3 Component Description 1. 3 1/2-Digit Display - The 3 1/2 digit liquid crystal display (LCD) provides direct readout of oxygen concentrations in the range of 0 - 105.0% (100.1% - 105.0% used for calibration determination purposes). The digits also display error codes and calibration codes as necessary.
® containing a mild acid electrolyte, lead (Pb), and lead acetate. Lead and lead acetate are hazardous waste constituents and should be disposed of properly, or returned to Maxtec for proper disposal or recovery. ® CAUTION: Do not immerse the sensor in any cleaning solution, autoclave or expose the sensor to high temperatures.
(see Factors influencing accurate readings.) A simple calibration may be made with the sensor open to static Ambient air. For optimum accuracy Maxtec recommends that the Sensor be placed in a closed ® loop circuit where gas flow is moving across the sensor in a controlled manner.
2.3 Operation with BC Adapter (refer to figure 3) 1. Attach the Barbed Adapter to the MAXO by threading it on to the bottom ® of the sensor. 2. Connect the Tygon tube to the barbed adapter. 3. Attach the BC adapter to the other end of the Tygon tube. 4.
2.4 Operation with Oxyknob Adapter (refer to figure below) 1. Attach the Oxyknob adaptor to the threaded sensor of your Maxtec Analyzer. 2. Hand tighten until sensor o-ring seals against the Oxyknob. 3. Slowly crack open the tank. Listen for a slight hissing sound.
4.0 FACTORS INFLUENCING ACCURATE READINGS 4.1 Elevation Changes • Changes in elevation result in a reading error of approximately 1% of reading per 250 feet. • In general, calibration of the instrument should be performed when elevation at which the product is being used changes by more than 500 feet. 4.2 Temperature Effects The MAXO will hold calibration and read correctly within ±3% when in thermal...
other than diluting the gas, as long as there is no condensation. Depending on the humidity, the gas may be diluted by as much as 4%, which proportionally reduces the oxygen concentration. The device responds to the actual oxygen concentration rather than the dry concentration. Environments where condensation may occur are to be avoided since moisture may obstruct passage of gas to the sensing surface, resulting in erroneous readings and slower response time.
CAL Err hi: Sensor voltage too high Press and hold the Calibration Button for three seconds to manually force a new calibration. If unit repeats this error more than three times, contact Customer Service for possible sensor replacement. CAL Err Bat: Battery voltage too low to recalibrate Replace batteries 6.0 CHANGING THE BATTERIES Should the batteries require changing, the device will indicate this in one of two ways:...
HELPFUL HINT (MAXO2+ AE): Before closing the two case halves together, verify that the keyed slot on top of the coiled cable assembly is engaged on the small tab located on the back case. This is designed to position the assembly in the correct orientation and prevent it from rotating.
• The threaded barbed adapter may be cleaned by washing them with a 65% alcohol/water solution (per manufacturer’s instructions). The parts must be thoroughly dry before they are used. Because of the variability of the cleaning processes, Maxtec cannot provide ®...
