Ⅱ-2 Wiring
Please see the wiring diagram to start wiring.
If necessary, please connect output lines and alarms to the other equipments.
Before wiring to the sensor, please measure the resistance value on the terminal block
to confirm there is no faulty wiring.

Cell Heater 30 ± 5Ω 15 ~ 20Ω 15 ~ 20Ω
RTD 100 ± 20Ω 90 ± 15Ω 75 ± 15Ω
*The resistance values of Cell Heater and RTD might exceed the above values because of
the effect of the temperature (room or furnace) of the installed place.
These values are just an indication.
As a power switch and fuse are not built in this equipment, please set-up a breaker,
a circuit protector, and a switch(+a fuse), etc.
Please use those power-off devices whose rated current is
* TB Series ------ over 2A
* SG ,CG-SⅠ,Ⅱ Series ------ over 3A
Please make a wiring which has sufficient power capacity to power terminal.
To avoid noise effect to signals, do not wire the signal line by using the same conduit
with motor, solenoid, SCR, actuator, and transformer, etc.
When the instrument is installed into the panel box, please keep the signal line as far
away as possible from the noise source like relay.

Ⅲ.Operation
1.Turn on the power, and then it starts activating in Measurement Mode.
Upper Display shows the oxygen concentration (As an exception, Upper Display shows
Cell EMF when mV[Cell EMF] is selected on the range unit setting).
Lower Display shows Cell Temperature, Cell EMF, Range Number being used, Scale
Lower Limit Value, and Scale Upper Limit Value. Also Upper Display shows [----],
or indication of the oxygen concentration or Cell EMF. This value is not true until
warm-up process is over.
2.Warming up time varies according to sensors. The warm-up process is considered to have
been completed when Cell Temperature becomes about 735℃.
Always turn off the power when checking a sensor or exchanging a part.
It sometimes causes being electric shocked, the malfunction, the damage or the deterioration.

*1 <Table 1: An Example of AUTO Range Setting>
Table 1 shows the shift of transmission output when the scale setting was changed to
AUTO Range on the scale setting. [% range:0~25%, ppm range:0~10000ppm]
Output will change along the heavy line in Table 1.
The system’s software searches the MAX. Value (Full Scale Value) of each range
then determines which range is corresponding to the Cell EMF.
EXAMPLE: If the sample gas concentration is changing from AIR(20.6%) to 100ppm,
the indication and output of the analyzer set by the above range changes
as follows:
Indication : 20.6%→ 1%⇔10000ppm→100ppm
Output : 17.18→ 4.64⇔20.00 →4.16 (mA)

Please be sure that this example is just an embodiment and the set values
(Range Number and Calibration Gas Concentration) are not the same as User’s set
values. Also, N2 Gas can not be used as Zero Gas. Please use O2/ N2 Gas with
concentration identified.
Calibration of % Range
1) Press CAL/ENT key for more than 2 seconds, then is shown in the upper display
and is shown in the lower display.
When executing span calibration continuously, press CAL/ENT key again.
2) The current concentration is shown in lower display. Introduce Air now.
After the oxygen concentration becomes stable, adjust the value to 20.60% by using
▼ ▲ and press CAL/ENT key. Span calibration is now completed.
3) Press CAL/ENT key again.
Then is shown in the lower display, so change it to by using ▼ ▲.
4) Flow a standard gas of 0.90% O2 and operate by the same step as span calibration.
Now Zero/Span Calibration at % range is completed.
5) Press CAL/ENT key or MENU key once, then is shown in the upper display and
is shown in the lower display again.
Press CAL/ENT key for more than 2 seconds to go back to Measurement Mode.
NOTE: When you use the minus O2% range the calibration of a minus side is
automatically executed by calibrating of % range above-mentioned.
NOTE: If the indicated value varies significantly or shows abnormal value after
calibration, setting error of calibration value or gas injection error is
considered. Carry calibration once again. If it cannot turn back to be normal,
‘Clear of the Calibration Value’ on Page 10th.
In that case the calibration curve will go along with the theoretical value,
so re-calibration will be needed to adapt to the actual sensor EMF.
IM1006221DE C-28C INSTRUCTION MANUAL Ver.2.0 PAGE:15/21
NOTE: When calibrating either one of Zero or Span, the data of the one not calibrated
will be the same as the previous data.
NOTE: The shipping value of the calibration curve will be the value based on the
theoretical value when shipping stand-alone of this unit, or it will be the
calibration value resulted in our test when shipping by combination with the
sensor. So calibration of combining with the sensor will be needed by user if
shipped stand-alone.
It is often because of other causes such as blockage, clogging of sensor filter, and
lack of gas flow that situation like low cell EMF takes place. So please do not
force calibration before investigating other causes.
Please refer to ‘Troubleshooting Chart’ on Page 20
Line(1) shows that the indication of O2 Analyzer and the true O2 concentration are
completely matched.
Line(2) has the same rising gradient and the different intercept as Line(1).
Line(3) has the different gradient and intercept from Line(1).
The secular change of cell EMF sometimes shows the same condition as (2) or(3),
and it is hard to determine which line the product would follow because it is affected
by the use conditions such as contents of the sample gas and ambient atmosphere.
In Simple One Point Calibration, (2) is considered to be the secular change of cell EMF
and the calibration curve is determined at Air only and then
shifted(parallel shift).
On the contrary, the operation in Calibration Mode is to adjust (3). As in One
Point Calibration at either Zero or Span, only one point is changed and the
existing data is used for the other point, the condition of (3) cannot be changed
to (1). So please be sure to calibrate 2 points.

When the temperature greatly exceeds from standard value (735℃) or makes over range, it
will be judged to occur broken RTD or almost broken RTD. Turn off the power and measure
the residence value of heater and RTD. Standard residence value is on 5th page. If there is no
problem on sensor, the converter might be broken.
*2
If users have stocks, exchange it. In this case, the calibration has to be made. If you need the
repairing of control unit, return to manufacturing factory.
*3
When exchanging sensor assembly, always turn off the power of control unit. When
exchanging a sensor in the condition as it turns on, sensor breakage might be occurred. A
defect of sensor is possible to due to a defect of control unit. So take care of the temperature
increasing after exchanging sensor and turning on. If the temperature increases extremely
just after turning on or increases over 10 degree from standard value, turn off the power
immediately. In this case, return the both of sensor and control unit to manufacturing factory.
NOTE
Sensor breakage might occur not only just after turning on but also during measures.
In that case, investigate where there is a defect.

*1 Do this troubleshooting in measurement in the presupposition which doesn't have the trouble

*2 There are some ways to induce the sample gas. It is needed to refer to the flow diagram and
investigate the true cause of trouble. For example if it is found the cause of trouble is the
defect of sample pressure, cleaning of pump valve or exchanging pump have to be done in fact
to return normal status
*3 Exchanging TB filter is effective for making a long life of cell. Always exchange if it becomes
dirty and has a defect.
NOTE
The judgment of dirt
Remove TB filter and check inside, if inside of filter becomes dirty, exchange it.
*4 In the case the change of indication is extremely small or big comparing with the change of the
cell voltage, there might be mistake of calibration. Make to clear the calibration once and
confirm the indication. Clear the calibration setting value if the status is almost normal,
it is not needed to exchange the sensor assembly and continue to make a right calibration.
