General information 1.1 Notes on the manual This manual describes composition, mode of operation and use of the SS27 and MS27 mini probes and the XS22 vacuum probe in combination with the E2010 electronic unit of ZIROX Sensoren und Elektronik GmbH.
Measuring system E2010 1 General information 1.3 Commonly used symbols Symbol for imminent danger: You will find this symbol next to all instructions on occupational safety if there is an immediate danger to the life and health of persons. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death. Symbol for indirect danger: This symbol indicates situations in which indirect hazards occur.
Measuring system E2010 2 Safety regulations Safety regulations The following regulations for industrial safety provide basic information about po- tential danger during the operation of the measuring system. Therefore, they must be observed and strictly followed by the responsible staff. •...
The measuring system is used to continuously measure the oxygen concentration in furnace atmospheres, flue and process gases or vacuum systems. The SS27 probe was designed for measuring the oxygen concentration in furnace atmospheres and process gases. Due to its open design, it reacts quickly and can cover a wide measuring range from 1 vol.-ppm to 20.64 vol.-% O...
The electrodes and the ceramic tube thus form a galvanic cell (solid electrolyte measuring cell). This arrangement corresponds to the mini probe SS27 and the vacuum probe XS22. In the mini probe MS27, the measuring and reference electrodes are reversed. The sample gas is located inside the tube.
Measuring system E2010 4 Theoretical foundations Based on the assumption that the total pressures of the gases are almost the same at both electrodes (in this case, the volume concentrations may be used in the calculation instead of the partial pressures) and replacing the parameters by num- bers in equation (I), the following equation is valid: ...

Measuring system E2010 7 Device structure and features E2010 7.3 Analog output The signals from the probe/sensor is issued via an analog output (4...20mA, iso- lated). The pin assignment can be found in Figure 8 (section 7.2). Configuration is carried out via the menu “settings” (see sec. 8.4). The load applied to the analog output must not exceed 500 Ω.
Measuring system E2010 7 Device structure and features E2010 7.5 Digital interface The device has a digital interface (RS232). The measured values can be issued via this. The pin assignment can be seen in Figure 8. Pin-nr. Description The RS232 interface must be connected to a computer via SUB-D connection cable (9-pin, 1:1, not crossed).
There is a high risk of burns if you touch it! Reference air supply for ZIROX® probes (optional): The Reference air input of the sensor and the reference air output of the E2010 must be connected by a flexible hose (inner diameter 3 mm).
Measuring system E2010 8 Initiation and operation 8.3 Operation of the main menu The function of the operating buttons is described in section 7. The heating phase begins after the device is switched on. From 400°C, the tem- perature currently reached is displayed. When the probe or sensor reaches the intended operating temperature, the main menu appears.
Measuring system E2010 8 Initiation and operation 8.4 Adjustable parameters The following parameters are adjustable in the menu SETTINGS: OUTPUT VALUE Valid for display and analog output! Vol ppm Vol ppm O2, mbar O2, atm O2, Uz [mV] OUTPUT VALUE Scaling current output linear or log log[10] (for Uz linear only)
Measuring system E2010 8 Initiation and operation 8.6 Span gas calibration In addition, a range gas calibration can be performed. In this case, the probe is connected to a gas with a defined oxygen concentration. The size of the gas flow (if present) must be set to the value at which the sample gas is measured.
