If the display reading is 20.9%, start up is complete. The sample-draw oxygen detector is in normal operation. If the display reading is not 20.9%, continue with step 3. Perform a zeroing operation at the controller. See the controller instruction manual for directions. 12 • 35-3000RK-OXY Sample-Draw Oxygen Detector...

Calibrate the sample-draw detector as described in the Calibration section on page 17. If the fail condition continues, replace the oxygen sensor as described later in this section. If the fail condition continues, contact RKI Instruments, Inc., for further instruction. Slow or no response/difficult or unable to calibrate Symptoms •...

If you cannot set the correct flow rate, check the sample line for obstructions or kinks. If the calibration/response difficulties continue, replace the oxygen sensor as described later in this section. If the calibration/response difficulties continue, contact RKI Instruments, Inc., for further instruction. Replacing Components of the Oxygen Sample-draw Detector This section includes procedures to replace the sensor, filter, and ferrules.
