Oxygen Monitoring
Unsuccessful Calibration
If, at the end of the calibration period, the Oxygen Monitor window is
blank, the calibration was not successful. (This condition is also indicated
by the
CAL O2 SENSOR
Advisory message in the Alarm window.)
An unsuccessful calibration can be caused by several conditions as
described in Table 12-2.
Table 12-2. Unsuccessful Calibration - Causes and Solutions
Cause
Solution
Sensor was exposed to an
excessively lean or excessively
rich oxygen calibration mixture.
Make sure that the sensor is exposed to room
air only for the entire calibration period.
Sensor was exposed to a
constantly changing calibration
mixture.
Make sure that the sensor is exposed to room
air only for the entire calibration period.
Sensor did not receive the
proper waiting period.
If the sensor capsule was removed from the
sensor assembly, a waiting period equal to the
time that the capsule spent outside the sensor
assembly (up to one week) is necessary prior to
calibration. New sensors require a 15-minute
waiting period.
Sensor is exhausted.
If the oxygen sensor has decayed beyond its
useful service life (see the “Specifications”
section of the manual), replace the decayed
sensor with a new sensor and allow the proper
waiting period.
Sensor is defective.
If there is too great a difference between the
outputs of the two sensor halves, replace the
defective sensor with a new sensor, and allow
the proper waiting period prior to calibration.
Sensor is disconnected.
When the sensor is disconnected, the display
area is blank, and the message 02 SENSOR
DISC appears in the Alarm window. If this
happens, reconnect the sensor cord to the
OXYGEN SENSOR interface beneath the rear
panel of the ventilator box and try to calibrate
the oxygen sensor again.
