Transmitter Board The transmitter board assembly consists of the signal conditioning circuit, microprocessor, LED display and 4-20 mA output circuit. The transmitter board assembly is connected to the connection board via ribbon cable and secured onto the stand-off via two thumb screws. To remove the transmitter board simply move the thumb screws counter-clockwise and slowly pull the transmitter board away.

18 %, the relay will be energized if the oxygen level is at or falls below 18% Fault (Sensor Fail) PT395 is in Fault (Malfunction) condition when the sensor assembly malfunctions. In Fault condition the 4-20mA output generated would be less than 1.0 mA. The sensor displays “FLt” when sensor in Fault. PT395 Series Detector...
Once the calibration is initiated the alarm relays will be inhibited and the 4-20mA analog signal will be held at approximately 2mA to avoid any false alarm. High Fault Figure 6. Magnetic switch position to activate calibration Mode switch PT395 Series Detector...

If the ambient air is contaminated you may have to apply the zero air to clear all the residual gas from the sensor head assembly. The sensor must clear down to zero after the calibration gas in order to return to normal operation for successful and accurate calibration. PT395 Series Detector...
If no gas is detected within 60 seconds the sensor aborts calibration and will display E-3 error code “Calibration Time Out” for few seconds before returning to normal operation. PT395 Series Detector...

2mA level on the analog output line is an indication to any connected gas monitor that the sensor is in calibration mode thus avoiding any false alarm. Also refer to “Sensor calibration Flow Chart” for quick calibration review and “Calibration Error and remedies” PT395 Series Detector...

In case of Oxygen sensor if the oxygen level around the sensor is not 20.9% then zero air must be applied to set zero calibration of the sensor. 0.5 to 1.5 LPM Flow Regulator Figure 7. . Sensor Calibration using Flow regulator and adapter PT395 Series Detector...
Furthermore, the sensor response time to the calibration gas must always be checked using calibration adapter. Do not verify the sensor response time with dust guard installed and applying the gas as stated in #1 above. PT395 Series Detector...
The sensor detected the flow of the calibration gas but the sensitivity to the gas is not consistent. Double check the wires connecting the sensor head. And repeat the calibration procedure after few minutes. If same error reoccurs the sensor head assembly must be replaced. PT395 Series Detector...
