4.0 Operation of the EX-5155-MOS
It is best to have the
EX-5155-MOS transmitters powered up and operational for 24 hours before applying calibration or test gas to
them.
When the EX-5155-MOS transmitter is first powered up, it goes through a series of momentary screens, which identify the instrumen
model number, serial
number and software revision. After all of the momentary screens have been displayed, the instrument arrives
the Main Gas Display showing the gas concentration and unit of measurement.
Depending on transmitter configuration and calibration condition
, the furthest right character in the display may flash a letter
indicating the instrument status. See the Section 4.1.2 below.
4.1 Start up
4.1.1 Typical Start Up
When power is supplied to the
EX-5155-MOS, the S/T will display the following sequence of information:
N
OTE
: Software revision may cause variations of display output.
Example of Display
Function
The instrument: Model
EX-5155-MOS
Note MOS is not displayed
EX-5155
The instrument: Serial Number
76-1256
The instrument: Software Revision
S/W X.X
IF
the right most character is a flashing
W
0ppmW
The instrument is in Warm-up mode
This should last about 1 minute
The Signal Output is held at 4mA during
warm-up
The instrument: Normal Display Mode
Measurement of target Gas
0ppm
For Toxic Gas
IF the right most character is a flashing
C, F, P or R See Section 4.1.2
4.1.2 Alternate Start Up
Depending on EX-5155-MOS S/T configuration and calibration condition, the furthest right character in the display may flash
a letter indicating the instrument status. See the table below.
Purging occurs automatically for instruments with sensors that require purging. Purge wil
l occur for 5 minutes on instrument
start-up, followed by a 5-minute recovery period. At the end of the recovery period, the transmitter should be ready for
operation. If additional purge time is required, refer to Section 4.1.3 for more information.
Example of Display (may also display 0 LEC)
Function
IF the right most
character is a flashing
C
The last calibration of the instrument was invalid
The instrument must be recalibrated
0ppmC
IF the right most
character is a flashing
F
There is a sensor fault
0ppmF
0ppmP
IF the right most
character is a flashing
P
The sensor is being purged:
This function is required for certain sensor types
The duration of purge cycle varies with sensor type
The Signal Output is held at 4mA during purge
The instrument is in Recovery mode after completing the
purge cycle
IF the right most
character is a flashing
R
0ppmR
This should take about 5 minutes
4.1.3 Purge
Purging is a function that temporarily increases the sensor heater voltage to clean off contaminants. Some sensors operate a
t
higher heater voltages where purging is not required. The
EX-5155-MOS S/T is configured at the factory for the installed
sensor purging requirements.
Purge times vary form 5
– 25 minutes depending on the sensor installed.
Some sensors require additional purge time after start up. Particularly if the sensor is new or the system powered down for
an
extended period of time.
To initiate a purge: Turn the power off and back on. This will initialize a purge cycle.
See Figure 5 for the Operational portion of the Maintenance Menu Flow Chart.
