6-3.Replacing the sensor 6-3-1.Replacement frequency of the sensor To maintain the reliability of the measurement, it is recommendable to replace the sensor periodically. Our oxygen sensor has an enough life span. However, the actual life is depending on the operating conditions.
6-4.List of recommendable spare parts for regular replacement Name of parts Inspection frequency Replacement interval Q’ty/unit O-ring 1 year 3-6 years (sensor side in the holder) O-ring 1 year 3-6 years (Housing side in the holder) * NOTE ・The replacement interval will change depending on operating condition and it does not mean the warranty period.
CAUTION ・ When using a relocated or stopped/stored detector head again, never fail to perform a calibration. For information on readjustment including a calibration, please contact RIKEN KEIKI. 7-3.Disposal of products When the detector head is disposed of, it must be treated properly as an industrial waste in accordance...
8.MEASURES AT ABNORMAL CASE 8-1.Responding to trouble alarm If this detector founds defective, contact our authorized agent or RIKEN KEIKI. 8-2.Before it is thought to be a trouble It may be caused by cable disconnection, short circuit, etc. ・Check the wirings around the related instruments as well as this detector head.
9-4.Detection principle [Detection principle] A negative electrode of noble metal and a positive electrode of lead are placed in a resin container filled with electrolyte. A part of the container is opened and covered with a barrier. The negative electrode is installed in contact with the barrier.
10.DEFINITION OF TERMS Galvanic cell Galvanic cell type oxygen sensor that produces a current proportional to the oxygen content permeated through the membrane. Refer to “9-4. Detection principle” for details. Zener barrier Safety retainer for explosion protection by limiting the energy of electric current within a non-ignition level.
