8  Operation and parametrization 

8.1  Operation 

8.1.1  Switch-on and measurement indication 

When the oxygen monitor is in operating state and all lines are connected 
according to chapter 7.2, the SGM7 can be switched on. The measuring cell 
reaches its operating temperature of 750 °C after approx. 10 minutes. The 
current  measuring  value  is  displayed  but  only  reaches  the  indicated  error 
limits  after  an  hour  when  the  thermal  conditions  in  the  measuring  cell  are 
even. 

After switch-on the SGM7 is in display mode. On the display the programmed 
measuring value for output 1 is shown (normally the oxygen concentration) 
according to the chosen dimension. 

8.1.2  Gas flow adjustment 

For  exact  measurings  a  flow  rate  of  5  to  10  l/h  has  to  be  ensured.  For 
measurings via bypass the flow rate is realized by an internal pump. 

 

For  excess  pressure  of  the  measuring  gas  the  manufacturer  recommends 
the installation of a high-quality needle valve. Appropriate needle valves can 
be delivered by the manufacturer of the SGM7. For higher pressures of the 
measuring  gas  an 

additional

  pressure  regulator  is  recommended  which 

adjusts a pressure of approx. 100 kPa (1 bar) 

excess pressure

8.1.3  Data monitoring 

The SGM7 can be programmed with a limit value. The relevant messages 
are delivered via relay output. The relay is open in active state (This state is 
displayed in the status line). The signalization is delayed. The response time 
can be adjusted for the data monitoring (limit value delay time) between 1 
and 99 seconds.
