  • Page 5: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION General Description The Z230 is a microprocessor controlled oxygen analyser based on a Zirconia oxygen sensor. It provides a range of features and a performance without parallel for an analyser of this type and cost. Standard features include auto-ranging over a span of 100% to 0.01ppm, user programmable alarm levels, hysteresis and analogue output.

  • Page 8: Installation

    INSTALLATION Unpacking and visual checking Take all normal precautions when opening packages. In particular, avoid the use of long bladed cutters. Check for any sign of damage. Check that all pipe connections have captive seal nuts - search packing if any are missing. Calibration overview The instrument should be installed where free air ventilation around the whole case is provided.
  • Page 9: Key Requirements

    3.3.1 Key requirements • The sample must not contain halogens, sulphur or silicon (any silicones) as these will poison the sensor. • The sample must be non-condensing, non-corrosive and particle free. • The sample exhaust must be at or near atmospheric pressure in all cases. •...

    COMMISIONING Switching on When the analyser is fully connected it may be switched on. The cell heater will begin to warm up. During this time the display will flash “HE xxxxx and the concentration display will make high and low excursions. Once the correct temperature is reached, the “HR” will end and the display will stabilise.
  • Page 12: Alarm 1

    4.2.2 Alarm 1 NOTE: All alarms will be in the ‘alarm’ state whilst the instrument is booting (approximately 20 seconds after power on) or if the instrument registers an error, regardless of the alarm setting. 3P xxxx The display shows “3P xxxx”, where “xxxx” is the oxygen concentration at which Alarm 1 is set.

  • Page 14: Calibration

    CALIBRATION CAUTION Various procedures associated with calibration maintenance affect the outputs of the instrument. Any of these outputs that are being used for control (or the associated control loop) should be disabled before commencing. Calibration overview The Z230 is a very stable analyser with a drift rate of better than 2% of reading per month. How often the calibration is checked or verified depends on the quality regime being operated at the installation site.
  • Page 15: Calibration Procedure

    Calibration procedure NOTE: see Figure 3 All calibration screens operate on the same principle :- • The display shows the present reading. This may be changed by pressing “Edit” and then using the “ ” or “ ” arrows to adjust the value. •...
  • Page 16: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE Calibration is the only routine operation that is necessary on a regular basis. The Z230 is a very stable analyser with a drift rate of better than 2% of reading per month. How often the calibration is checked or verified depends on the quality regime being operated at the installation site.
  • Page 17: Technical Description Of Sensor

    TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF SENSOR The zirconia oxygen sensor (see sketch below) is an impervious tube-shaped zirconia (zirconium oxide) element with a closed end coated externally and internally with porous metal electrodes, typically platinum. At high temperatures, typically above 400°C, the zirconia becomes an oxygen ion conductor, which results in a voltage being generated between the electrodes dependent upon the differences between the partial pressures of the oxygen in the sample and the oxygen in a reference gas (generally air).
  • Page 18: Communication Protocol

    COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL Communication parameters are 9600 Baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no handshaking. The instrument is DTE. The general form of the protocol is: The protocol is a single command and response protocol. 2. A command consists of an “address” and an “action” . A received valid address is always responded to even if the action is invalid.
