11.1.2 Replacing the Sensor Assembly

The performance of the sensor (cell) deteriorates as its surface becomes soiled during operation.

Therefore, you have to replace the sensor when its life expectancy expires, for example, when it can

no longer satisfy a zero correction ratio of 100 ± 30% or a span correction ratio of 0 ± 18%. In addition,

the sensor assembly is to be replaced if it becomes damaged and can no longer operate during

measurement.
If the sensor becomes no longer operable (for example, due to breakage), investigate the cause and

remedy the problem as much as possible to prevent recurrence.

CAUTION

• If the sensor assembly is to be replaced, allow enough time for the detector to cool down from its

high temperature. Otherwise, you may get burned.

• If the cell assembly is to be replaced, be sure to replace the metal O-ring and the contact

together. Additionally, even in a case where the cell is not replaced, if the contact becomes

deformed and cannot make complete contact with the cell, replace the contact.

• If there is any corroded or discolored area in the metal O-ring groove in which the contact is

embedded, sand the groove with sandpaper or use a metal brush, and then sand further with a

higher grade of sandpaper (No. 1500 or so), or use an appropriate metal brush to eliminate any

sharp protrusions on the groove. The contact’s resistance should be minimized.

• Use cell assemblies manufactured in or after Sept. 2000: the serial number on the side of the cell

assembly should be 0J000 or later (for example: 0K123, 1AA01 etc.)

1. Identifying parts to be replaced
In order not to lose or damage disassembled parts, identify the parts to be replaced from among

all the parts in the sensor assembly. Normally, replace the sensor (cell), metal O-ring and contact

together at the same time. If required, also replace the U-shaped pipe, bolts, filter and associated

spring washers.
2. Removal procedures

(1) Remove the four bolts and associated washers from the tip of the detector probe.

(2) Remove the U-shaped pipe support together with the U-shaped pipe. Remove the filter also.

(3) Pull the sensor assembly toward you while turning it clockwise. Also, remove the metal O-ring

between the assembly and the probe.

(When replacing the assembly, be careful not to allow any flaws on the tip of the probe with

which the metal O-ring comes in contact (the surface with which the sensor flange also comes in

contact. Otherwise, the sample gas will not be sealed.)
