Measures to Take When an Error Occurs

12.1.2.1

Error-1: Cell Voltage Failure

Error-1 occurs when the cell (sensor) voltage input to the converter falls below -50 mV

(corresponding to about 200% O

2

). The following are considered to be the causes for

the cell voltage falling below -50 mV:

(1) Continuity failure between the sensor assembly electrode and the contact

(2) Damage or deterioration of the sensor assembly

(3) Improper connection between the sensor and the electronics.

(4) Wiring failure inside the detector

(5) Abnormality in the converter electronics

<Locating the failure and taking measure>
1) Turn off the power to the equipment.
2) Remove the sensor assembly from the probe. Check for dirty or corroded sensor

parts, including electrode and contact.

3) If the contact part is normal, the sensor assembly may be damaged or deteriorated.

Replace the sensor assembly. In this case, be sure to replace the metal O-ring and
contact.

4) If Error-1 still occurs, check that the sensor and the electronics are properly con-

nected.

5) Remove the probe to gain access to the two connectors (four connectors for the

optional automatic calibration unit), as indicated in Figure 12.2. Check these
connectors are properly connected.

6) If Error-1 still occurs, the electronics may be defective. Contact your local Yokogawa

service or sales representative.

12.1.2.2

Error-2: Heater Temperature Failure

This error occurs if the detector heater temperature does not rise during warm-up, or if

the temperature falls below 730˚C or exceeds 780˚C after warm-up is completed.

Causes considered for cases where Error-2 occurs independently are shown below.

(1) Faulty heater in the probe (heater wire breakage)

(2) Faulty thermocouple in the probe

(3) Failure in the converter electronics

<Search for cause of failure and taking measure>

(1) Turn off the power to the analyzer.

(2) Remove the probe from the analyzer. Also remove all the connectors between the

converter and probe. Measure the resistance of the heater wire (yellow wire) from the
probe as indicated in Figure 12.2. The heater unit is normal if the resistance is lower
than about 90

⍀. If the resistance is higher than that value, the heater unit may be

defective. In this case, replace the heater unit (refer to Section 11.1.3, “Replacement
of the Heater Unit”).
