9.6 AERTRIM MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

The AERtrim system, which maximizes blower efficiency, depends on the O
system needs only minimal maintenance. It is recommended that you inspect the oxygen
sensor for accuracy every 12 months by comparing it to a sensor reading from a properly
calibrated flue analyzer. This is strongly advised because contaminated air or gas supplies may
cause impurity buildup and shift the calibration point. An offset value of ±3.0% can be entered in
the O2 Offset parameter in the AERtrim Settings screen
Performance → AERtrim → AERtrim
If the sensor has a large amount of offset, a replacement may be required soon.
Occasional software updates to the device may be required.
