INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting
SSi
P/N 13003 for your generator probe maintenance application.
You lubricate critical machine parts on a regular basis if you want them to last. Your zirconia
carbon sensor also requires regular maintenance. Buildup of carbon in the space between the
zirconia sensing element and the sheath, as well as at the sensing point, will eventually adversely
affect the proper operation of the probe. If carbon (soot) is allowed to accumulate to the extent
that atmosphere cannot penetrate to the sensing surface, control is impossible. The 13003 is
designed to prevent that from happening by periodically initiating a procedure to remove the
carbon. It is intended for use with generator sampling (reheat) systems only. This system can
perform very well with low burnoff flow rates since the sample flow is stopped and displaced by
burnoff air. Furnace burnoff systems must provide adequate flow to overcome the atmosphere
that is always present. (See P/N 13011 for batch furnaces and P/N 13004 for continuous
furnaces.)

DESCRIPTION
The 13003-generator probe conditioning box is designed for use with generator sampling or
reheat systems, notably the BazookaTM Probe. Although many such systems are equipped with
programmable controls that could conduct probe conditioning on a regular basis, it has been our
experience that this programming capability is seldom used. Existing burnoff systems that are
designed to work with a programmable controller cannot be used as "stand alone" systems
without significant modification. Further, most cannot provide adequate air for burnoff because
they simply switch the output of small reference air pumps to the burnoff fitting without regard
to adequate flow. The 13003 provides individual pumps for reference and burnoff air. See Fig. 1
for the wiring and plumbing diagram.
