Periodic Maintenance
The mirror assembly may require periodic cleaning. The need for this is
indicated by the MAINT flag on the display. Although the emitter has an
expected lifetime of more than 2 years, it may eventually need to be replaced.
The need for this is indicated by sensor fault code dF.XX (where X is any
number between 0 and 4).
Resolving High Zero-Offset Issues
High zero offsets may be the result of either one of two issues with the
transmitter:
1. Contaminant buildup within the mirror assembly; or
2. Faulty emitter.
If the transmitter is exhibiting a high zero offset the first step should be to
address the possibility of a significant buildup of dirt, etc., within the mirror
assembly. A buildup of contaminants within the mirror assembly will dull the
reflective mirror surfaces causing unintended absorption of the infrared light.
Refer to "Cleaning the Mirror Assembly" to resolve dirt buildup issues.
If it is unlikely that a dirt buildup is responsible OR the cleaning procedure has
been performed with no results, contact the Scott Instruments Service
department for further troubleshooting assistance (see "Contacting Scott
Instruments").
Cleaning the Mirror Assembly
Cleaning the mirror assembly will help remove most accumulations of dirt,
etc., within the transmitter's mirror assembly. The necessity and frequency of
this procedure is dependant on the environment in which the transmitter is
operating.
Alternately, the assembly can be returned to the factory for
cleaning.
STEP 1 -
Remove power from the transmitter
before cleaning the mirror
assembly
(removing the mirror assembly will expose the emitter, which
is not an intrinsically-safe component)
.
STEP 2 - Remove the
dust shield by gently
turning it to the left until
the twist-lock fitting
unlocks, then pull
downward. Grasp the
base of the heater wire
and gently pull
downward to unplug it
from the heater wire
connection pin. Loosen
the set screw then
remove the mirror
assembly dust filter.
Unscrew the mirror
assembly.
