Step 1 – Analyzer Installation WARNING: The internal components of the Model 5124BE-N1-WO analyzer and the remote sensor are fragile. Do not drop the analyzer or the remote sensor during installation. Do not expose unit shock vibration during installation. Failure to comply may damage the fragile components inside the analyzer and remote sensor may result in loss of warranty.
The acceptable background gases for oxygen measurements are nitrogen and argon. Some gases will affect the accuracy of the sensor while others may damage the sensor permanently. Contact Neutronics if you are not sure about the affect of your process gases on the external sensor. WARNING: Do not over pressurize the sample inlet port as this may permanently damage the internal components of the analyzer.
The terminal blocks may be removed for wiring. The electrical connection to the Model 5124BE-N1-WO external sensor is to be made to the analyzer interface socket. Use the sensor interface cable provided by Neutronics. Manual Part Number: Revision Level: A File Name: MN-A-0177 Page 12...

Installation and Operations Manual 3 – O HAPTER PERATING NSTRUCTION A. First Time Power Up The Model 5124BE-N1-WO analyzer and its remote sensor are shipped ready to use, right from the carton. Its default configuration has been set to your application. Review the default configuration settings, as shown in the analyzer software setup log sheet, shipped with your Model 5124BE-N1-WO analyzer.
Page 22
First Time Power Up Instructions 1. Apply Ambient Air to the External Sensor Sample Port: Apply clean, dry oil-free ambient air to the process vessel. See the analyzer installation manual for more detail. Regulate the ambient air supply in your process vessel to match process conditions. Do not exceed 10 PSI.
5. Measure Air Sample (Verify): After temperature stabilization, if the Model 5124BE-N1-WO analyzer indicates between 20.8% and 21.0% at ambient air, calibration is not necessary. Otherwise, verify that clean, dry, oil-free ambient air is supplied and regulated as required in step 1. If the sample air supply requirements are met and the reading is not within the stated tolerance, perform air calibration per Appendix A.
D. Features The Model 5124BE-N1-WO analyzer is intended to be used to measure oxygen concentrations in inert background. The analyzer comes equipped with several operational features. Each feature will be discussed in detail separately: • Four relay outputs: TEMPERATURE OK, FAULT, ALARM 1 and ALARM 2. •...
Troubleshooting Oxygen Alarm 1 & Alarm 2 Relays The Oxygen Alarm 1 and Alarm 2 relay activation depend on the following Model 5124BE-N1-WO Analyzer settings. Refer to the software setup log shipped with the analyzer to determine your actual settings. ♦...
Analog Voltage & Analog Current Output The analog voltage and analog current output produces either a voltage or a current output proportional to the measured oxygen concentration. For the analog voltage, the zero scale is always 0 volts. The full scale is programmed at the factory to be either 1, 5, or 10 volts.
Troubleshooting RS-232 Port The Model 5124BE-N1-WO Analyzer port will transmit information to a host computer via the RS-232 port. The information includes the oxygen concentration, fault status oxygen alarm status. more information on the RS-232 communications, see Appendix D.

• calibration necessary: Disconnect ambient calibration gas source from the analyzer. Apply process gas that is to be analyzed to the analyzer. Calibration procedure: • Reset analyzer RS-232 serial input buffer: Press “enter” key once to reset the serial buffer. The analyzer will indicate that the serial buffer is empty by sending an asterisk character “*”.
Page 37
• Restart the RS-232 serial output stream: Type “sserfmt=1” to restart the RS-232 serial output stream. The analyzer will resume its timed serial output. See example below: *sserfmt=1 *RUN 20.9 ALM1 ALM2 FLT 5,11 20.9 ALM1 ALM2 FLT 5,11 20.9 ALM1 ALM2 FLT 5,11 20.9 ALM1 ALM2 FLT 5,11...
Appendix B: System Faults Model 5124BE-N1-WO Analyzer detects more system faults, it will display the fault code number on the RS-232. analyzer will first indicate that there is at least one fault active by displaying the string “FLT”. It will then display all the active faults by displaying all the fault code numbers separated by commas.
Page 39
• “10” – Check Sensor: The analyzer has detected an invalid output from the external sensor. This may be caused by either sensor being disconnected from analyzer, possible lead breakage inside the sensor housing. The lead breakage may have been caused by the sensor being dropped. analyzer outputs are not valid, except RS-232 output.
Appendix C: Oxygen Alarm Level Settings The Model 5124BE-N1-WO Analyzer is shipped from the factory with the oxygen alarm level set to your desired process. However, the oxygen alarm level settings may be changed using the procedures below. WARNING: Altering the Oxygen Alarm Level setting may affect the Model 5124BE-N1-WO analyzer’s performance in your process.
