Names and functions of each part Main unit section The correct order and direction for connecting the sampling adaptor are indicated with a sticker. Main cover When operating or storing the unit, refer to this sticker and confirm that the sampling adaptor is correctly connected.
Operation Methods 1. Preparing for use Using the PACK MASTER with batteries The batteries are mounted before shipment, so the PACK MASTER can be used right away. When replacing the batteries, use AA alkaline batteries or nickel-metal hydride batteries (ENELOOP). Using the PACK MASTER with 100 VAC power Always use the enclosed AC adapter.
Japaneseisthefactorydefaultsettingforthedisplay.The Japanese/Englishselectionfunction displayedlanguagecanbeswitchedbetweenJapanese and English from any screen. Usually, the language can be switched between Japanese and English from any screen if the power is ON. Note that the language cannot be switched during the following operations. The language can be switched once the operation is fin- ished or canceled and the built-in pump has stopped.
3. Calibration The calibration process adjusts the instrument measured value so that the span point and zero point during O measurement match the sensor output when the reference gases (atmosphere, nitrogen) were measured. Perform span calibration once a day before starting measurements. Ideally, span calibration Span calibration should be performed when the temperature of the oxygen sensor and temperature sensor are sufficiently stable, such as first thing in the morning before operating the air conditioning...
To accurately measure low concentrations when measuring O , use nitrogen gas for calibration. Zero calibration Set the needle so it can suction the nitrogen gas. Press The MENU screen opens, and “CAL” is selected (flashes). Press The O CAL screen opens. * If even one measurement has been taken, the previous measured value will display.
4. Measurement and recording Preparing to measure • It may not be possible to measure if the sample gas quantity is less than 6mL. • A measurement can be taken even if the inside of the sample is depressurized, but if the package’s internal pressure is less than -30kPa, a correct measurement value may not be obtained.
Measurement (Auto mode) The measurement starts automatically when is pressed. Refer to the section “Switching the measurement mode” (page 4 ) for details on switching between the auto mode and manual mode. When the Measurement Standby screen is displayed, press The measurement starts, and the Stability Decision screen opens.
The measured value is not automatically saved in the internal memory. Using the Memory function following steps, up to 300 values can be saved and retained in the internal memory. When 300 values are exceeded, the oldest data is automatically deleted. Press on the Measurement Complete screen.
The latest measurement value records can be deleted one item at Erasing the measurement history a time. Use this when a measurement value has been accidentally saved. Hold down for 1 seconds or longer on the HISTORY Screen. “Erase Complete” displays for approx. one second, and then contents of the data saved last are erased from the internal memory.
Various Settings and Functions The display method can be changed to display the O Setting the O displays [O DISP SET] measurement value as gas replacement rate. ) Oxygen concentration (%O Gas replacement rate (%) = (1 – ) ×100 20.9 When the Measurement Standby screen is displayed, press The MENU screen opens.
Setting the time [TIME SET] Set the time if the displayed time has deviated. When the Measurement Standby screen is displayed, press The MENU screen opens. Immediately after opening, “CAL” is selected (flashes). Press The cursor moves, and “SET” is selected (flashes). Press The SETTING MENU screen opens.
When using the instrument in a country or region Time zone selection function [TIMEZONE] otherthanJapan,theinstrument’sinternalclock can be changed to the local UTC (coordinated universal time). A time zone is a geographical region that uses the same standard time. The deviation from the UTC (coordinated universal time) is expressed with a positive or negative sign, such as “UTC+9:00”.
Complete the settings to use the printer (optional, sold separately) or to use Output setting [OUT SET] a personal computer (prepared by the user) to read the measured values or perform control. (The factory default setting is “No Output”.) When the Measurement Standby screen is displayed, press The MENU screen opens.
Checking for clogging [CLOG CHECK] If the gas path, such as the needle or tubing, is clogged, the gas cannot be suctioned properly, and correct measurement cannot be made. A clogging check is performed to check for any clogging. The clogging check makes a decision using the pressure sensor that is built into the gas path. If the gas path is not clogged, the pressure will be between 0 and -5kPa.

Follow the on-screen instructions and steps below to check for clogging. <Example 1> To check for clogging in the needle (1) Expose the tip of the needle to the atmosphere and press The pump operates for 5 seconds and decides whether there is clogging. Does not change from “-40.3kPa”...
Use this function if the measured value is incorrect after calibration. It resets the Initialization [INITIALIZE] display setting, calibration value, measurement mode, and output setting to the factory default settings. The initialization will reset any arbitrary settings to the factory default settings. When the Measurement Standby screen is displayed, press The MENU screen opens.
Erasing the entire history [CLR ALL HST] The measurement data saved in the internal memory with the “Memory Function” (refer to page 10 ) can be erased in a batch. Note that the data cannot be redisplayed once it has all been erased. When the Measurement Standby screen is displayed, press The MENU screen opens.
Connecting to an external device (Serial communication) The measurement data can be printed out by connecting a printer (optional, sold Connecting a printer separately). A printer cable is required to connect the printer. (RS-232C serial cross cable 25-pin male to 9-pin female) Refer to page 15 and set the output setting destination to “PRINTER”.
Maintenance Knurled screws for the Main cover main cover Replacing the oxygen sensor Loosen the knurled screws fixing the main cover on the back of the main unit. Open and <Back side> remove the main cover. Housing Sensor Turn the sensor counterclockwise and pull it straight out of the housing (red).
If liquids enter the membrane filter, the gas path will be clogged, and Replacingthemembranefilter measurement will not be possible. If liquids accidentally get inside, replace the membrane filter to resume measurements. (Note that if the liquid contains oil, it might pass through the membrane filter. Carefully observe the passage state when measuring samples containing oil.) Remove the needle from the membrane filter.
