INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting
SSi
P/N 13004 for your continuous furnace, 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, and 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 13004 is designed
to prevent that from happening by periodically initiating a procedure to remove the carbon. It is
intended for use with continuous furnaces only. (See P/N 13011 for batch furnaces, 13003 for
generators.)

DESCRIPTION
The 13004 continuous probe conditioning box is designed for use with a continuous furnace.
Although many such furnaces 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 low flow reference air pumps to the burnoff fitting without regard to adequate flow.
The 13004 is also provided with a delay timer to allow the probe signal to return to normal
before control is re-established. Fig. 1 shows the piping and wiring diagram of the 13004.
