7.11 Digital Airflow Sensor Description & Replacement
The airflow sensor function utilizes two thermistors that provide a constant current source. One thermistor is a
reference that uses a very low current source. The other thermistor is the airflow measurer that uses a very high
current source. As airflow passes over the thermistors, the airflow removes heat from the thermistor measuring
airflow. The loss of heat from the thermistor causes the voltage from the thermistor to increase. This increase
subtracted from the reference thermistor output voltage is what directly relates to airflow velocity. A repeatable curve
can be generated (voltage vs. airflow velocity).
The thermistors used are glass bead and coated and can be cleaned by gently using a cotton swab and alcohol.
Formaldehyde gas, Hydrogen Peroxide and Chlorine Dioxide has no effect on the airflow sensors; however, the
formaldehyde/Ammonium bicarbonate residue that remains after decontamination should be removed from the
airflow sensor thermistors.
Disconnect electrical power from the cabinet before attempting any
maintenance action.
The airflow sensors are removed by turning the locking ring counterclockwise and gently pulling the sensor away from
the connector. To reattach the airflow sensor, turn sensor in keyed connector until key matches, push in and turn the
locking ring clockwise until ring locks.
Once the new sensor(s) have been replaced, proceed to airflow calibration

Error Messages, Troubleshooting, Option-Diagnostics & Airflow Sensor Performance Verification
Audible alarms and error messages occur for a variety of reasons. Whenever an alarm condition has been present for a
period of at least 10 seconds, the audible alarm/error message will be presented and stay on until the error is cleared. The
audible alarm will be on for 10 seconds upon initial alarm condition, then once every 2 seconds. When presented with an
error message, please perform the following:
Step 1: NOTE ALL ERROR MESSAGES.
Error message will appear just below the icons. Pressing the caution symbol will display the present active
alarms.
Step 2: VERIFY ERROR MESSAGES.
Error messages can be verified by cleaning the error function by either turning the blower or the cabinet on
and off.
Step 3: MONITOR RE-OCCURRENCE OF ERROR MESSAGES.
If re-occurrence of the error message is immediate or daily, use guide below to correct the situation.
