maxtec MaxO2 Oxygen Analysis - 1

OVERVIEW

1.1 Base Unit Description

  • The MAXO2+ analyzer provides unparalleled performance and reliability due to an advanced design that includes the following features and operational benefits.

  • Extra-life oxygen sensor of approximately 1,500,000 O2 percent hours (2-year warranty)

  • Durable, compact design that permits comfortable, hand-held operation and easy to clean

  • Operation using only two AA Alkaline batteries (2 x 1.5 Volts) for approximately 5000 hours of performance with continuous use. For extra extended long life, two AA
    Lithium batteries may be used.

  • Oxygen-specific, a galvanic sensor that achieves 90% of final value in approximately 15 seconds at room temperature.

  • Large, easy-to-read, 3 1/2-digit LCD display for readings in the 0-100% range.

  • Simple operation and easy one-key calibration.

  • Self-diagnostic check of analog and microprocessor circuitry.

  • Low battery indication.

  • Calibration reminder timer that alerts the operator, using a calibration icon on the LCD display, to perform a unit calibration.

1.2 Component Identification

  1. 3-DIGIT LCD DISPLAY — The 3 digit liquid crystal display (LCD) provides a direct readout of oxygen concentrations in the range of 0 – 105.0% (100.1% to 105.0% used for calibration determination purposes). The digits also display error codes and calibration codes as necessary.
  2. LOW BATTERY INDICATOR — The low battery indicator is located at the top of the display and is only activated when the voltage on the batteries is below a normal operating level.
  3. “%” SYMBOL — The “%” sign is located to the right of the concentration number and is present during normal operation.
  4. CALIBRATION SYMBOL — The calibration symbol is located at the bottom of the display and is timed to activate when calibration is necessary.
  5. ON/OFF KEY —  This key is used to turn the device on or off.
  6. CALIBRATION KEY — This key is used to calibrate the device. Holding the key for more than three seconds will force the device to enter a calibration mode.
  7. SAMPLE INLET CONNECTION — This is the port at which the device is connected to determine
    oxygen concentration.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

2.1 Getting Started
2.1.1 Protect Tape
Prior to turning on the unit, a protective film covering the threaded sensor face must be removed. After removing the film, wait approximately 20 minutes for the sensor to reach equilibrium.
2.1.2 Automatic Calibration
After the unit is turned on it will automatically calibrate to room air. The display should be stable and reading 20.9%.
CAUTION: The device will assume a percent oxygen concentration when calibrating. Be sure to apply 100% oxygen, or ambient air concentration to the device during calibration, or the device will not calibrate correctly.

To check the oxygen concentration of a sample gas: (after the unit has been calibrated):

  1. Connect the Tygon tubing to the bottom of the analyzer by threading the barbed adapter onto the oxygen sensor. (FIGURE 2, B)
  2. Attach the other end of the sample hose to the sample gas source and initiate the flow of the sample to the unit at a rate of 1-10 liters per minute (2 liters per minute is recommended).
  3. Using the “ON/OFF” key, make sure the unit is in the power “ON” mode.
  4. Allow the oxygen reading to stabilize. This will normally take about 30 seconds or more.

2.2 Calibrating the MAXO2+ Oxygen Analyzer

NOTE: We recommend the use of medical-grade USP or >99% purity oxygen when calibrating the
MAXO2+.
The MAXO2+ Analyzer should be calibrated upon initial power-up. Thereafter, Maxtec recommends calibration on a weekly basis. To serve as a reminder, a one-week timer is started with each new calibration. At
the end of one week a reminder icon “ ” will appear on the bottom of the LCD. Calibration is recommended if the user is unsure when the last calibration procedure was performed, or if the measurement value is in question. Start calibration by pressing the Calibration key for more than 3 seconds. The MAXO2+ will automatically detect if you are calibrating with 100% oxygen or 20.9% oxygen (normal air).

DO NOT attempt to calibrate to any other concentration. For ID testing, (or optimum accuracy) a new calibration is
required when:

  • The measured O2 percentage in 100% O2 is below 99.0% O2.
  • The measured O2 percentage in 100% O2 is above 101.0% O2.
  • The CAL reminder Icon is blinking at the bottom of the LCD.
  • If you are unsure about the displayed O2 percentage (See Factors influencing accurate readings).

A simple calibration may be made with the sensor open to static at Ambient air. For optimum accuracy, Maxtec recommends that the Sensor be placed in a closed-loop circuit where gas flow is moving across the sensor in a controlled manner. Calibrate with the same type of circuit and flow that you will use in taking your readings.

2.2.1 In-Line Calibration (Flow Diverter –
Tee Adapter)

  1. Attach the diverter to the MAXO2+ by threading it onto the bottom of the sensor.

  2. Insert the MAXO2+ in the center position of the tee adapter. (FIGURE 2, A)

  3. Attach an open-ended reservoir to the end of the tee adapter. Then start the calibration flow of oxygen at two liters per minute.
    • Six to 10 inches of corrugated tubing works well as a reservoir. A calibration oxygen flow to the MAXO2+ of two liters per minute is recommended to minimize the possibility of obtaining a “false” calibration value.

  4. Allow the oxygen to saturate the sensor. Although a stable value is usually observed within 30 seconds, allow at least two minutes to ensure that the sensor is completely saturated with the calibration gas.

  5. If the MAXO2+ is not already turned on, do so now by pressing the analyzer “ON”
    button.

  6. Press the Call button on the MAXO2+ until you read the word CAL on the analyzer display. This can take approximately 3 seconds. The analyzer will now look for a stable sensor signal and a good reading. When obtained, the analyzer will display the calibration gas on the LCD.
    NOTE: Analyzer will read “Cal Err St” if the sample gas has not stabilized

2.2.2 Direct Flow Calibration (Barb)

  1. Attach the Barbed Adapter to the MAXO2+ by threading it onto the bottom of the sensor.
  2. Connect the Tygon tube to the barbed adapter. (FIGURE 2, B)
  3. Attach the other end of the clear sampling tube to a source of oxygen with a known oxygen concentration value. Initiate flow of the calibration gas to the unit. Two liters per minute is recommended.
  4. Allow the oxygen to saturate the sensor. Although a stable value is usually observed within 30 seconds, allow at least two minutes to ensure that the sensor is completely saturated with the calibration gas.
  5. If the MAXO2+ is not already turned on, do so now by pressing the analyzer “ON” button.
  6. Press the Call button on the MAXO2+ until you read the word CAL on the analyzer display. This can take approximately 3 seconds. The analyzer will now look for a stable sensor signal and a good reading. When obtained, the analyzer will display the calibration gas on the LCD.

FACTORS INFLUENCING

ACCURATE READINGS
3.1 Elevation/Pressure Changes

  1. Changes in elevation result in a reading error of approximately 1% of reading per 250 feet.
  2. In general, calibration of the instrument should be performed when the elevation at which the product is being used changes by more than 500 feet.
  3. This device does not automatically compensate for changes in barometric pressure or altitude. If the device is moved to a location of a different altitude, it must be recalibrated before use.

3.2 Temperature Effects

The MAXO2+ will hold calibration and read correctly within ±3% when at thermal equilibrium within the operating temperature range. The device must be thermally stable when calibrated and allowed to thermally stabilize after experiencing temperature changes before readings are accurate. For these reasons, the following is recommended:

  • For best results, perform the calibration procedure at a temperature close to the temperature where analysis will occur.
  • Allow adequate time for the sensor to equilibrate to a new ambient temperature.

CAUTION: “CAL Err St” may result from a sensor that has not reached thermal equilibrium.

3.3 Pressure Effects

Readings from the MAXO2+ are proportional to the partial pressure of oxygen. The partial pressure is equal to the concentration times the absolute pressure.
Thus, the readings are proportional to the concentration if the pressure is held constant.
Therefore, the following are recommended:

  • Calibrate the MAXO2+ at the same pressure as the sample gas.
  • If sample gases flow through tubing, use the same apparatus and flow rates when calibrating as when measuring.

3.4 Humidity Effects
Humidity (non-condensing) has no effect on the performance of the MAXO2+ other than diluting the gas, as long as there is no condensation. Depending on the humidity, the gas may be diluted by as much as 4%, which proportionally reduces the oxygen concentration. The device responds to the actual oxygen concentration rather than the dry concentration. Environments, where condensation may occur, are to be avoided since moisture may obstruct the passage of gas to the sensing surface, resulting in erroneous readings and slower response time. For this reason, the following is recommended:

  • Avoid usage in environments greater than 95% relative humidity.

HELPFUL HINT : Dry sensor by lightly shaking moisture out, or flow a dry gas at two liters per minute across the sensor membrane

CALIBRATION ERRORS AND ERROR CODES

The MAXO2+ analyzers have a self-test feature built into the software to detect faulty calibrations, oxygen
sensor failures, and low operating voltage. These are listed below and include possible actions to take if an
error code occurs.

E02: No sensor attached

  • MaxO2+A: Open the unit and disconnect and reconnect the sensor. The unit should perform an auto-calibration and should read 20.9%. If not, contact Maxtec Customer Service for possible sensor replacement.
  • MaxO2+AE: Disconnect and reconnect the external sensor. The unit should perform an auto-calibration and should read 20.9%. If not, contact Maxtec Customer Service for possible sensor replacement or cable replacement.

MAXO2+AE: Disconnect and reconnect the external sensor. The unit should perform an auto-calibration and should read 20.9%. If not, contact Maxtec Customer Service for  possible sensor replacement or cable replacement.

E03: No valid calibration data available

  • Make sure the unit has reached thermal equilibrium. Press and hold the Calibration Button for three seconds to manually force a new calibration.
    E04: Battery below minimum operating voltage

  • Replace batteries.

CAL ERR ST: O2 Sensor reading not stable

  • Wait for the displayed oxygen reading to stabilize when calibrating the device at 100% oxygen.
  • Wait for the unit to reach thermal equilibrium, (Please note that this can take up to one-half hour if the device is stored in temperatures outside the specified operating temperature range).

CAL ERR LO: Sensor voltage too low

  • Press and hold the Calibration Button for three seconds to manually force a new calibration. If the unit repeats this error more than three times, contact Maxtec Customer Service for possible sensor replacement.

CAL ERR HI: Sensor voltage too high

  • Press and hold the Calibration Button for three seconds to manually force a new calibration. If the unit repeats this error more than three times, contact Maxtec Customer Service for possible sensor replacement.

CAL ERR BAT: Battery voltage too low to recalibrate

  • Replace batteries.

**CHANGING THE BATTERIES

**

Batteries should be changed by service personnel.

  • Use only brand-name batteries.

  • Replace with two AA batteries and insert per orientation marked on the device.
    Should the batteries  require changing, the device will indicate this in one of two ways:

  • The battery icon on the bottom of the display will begin to flash. This icon will continue to flash until the batteries are changed. The unit will continue to function normally for approx. 200 hours.

  • If the device detects a very low battery level, an error code of “E04” will be present on the display and the unit will not function until the batteries are changed.
    To change the batteries, begin by removing the three screws from the back of the device. A #1 A Phillips screwdriver is required to remove these screws. Once the screws are removed, gently separate the two halves of the device.
    The batteries can now be replaced from the back half of the case. Be sure to orient the new batteries as indicated in the embossed polarity on the back case.
    maxtec MaxO2 Oxygen Analysis - fig 3

NOTE: If the batteries are installed incorrectly the batteries will not make contact and the device will not operate.
Carefully, bring the two halves of the case together while positioning the wires so they are not pinched between the two case halves. The gasket separating the halves will be captured on the back case half.
Reinsert the three screws and tighten until the screws are snug. (FIGURE 3)
The device will automatically perform calibration and begin displaying % of oxygen.
HELPFUL HINT: If the unit does not function, verify that the screws are tight to allow the proper electrical
connection.
HELPFUL HINT : Before closing the two case halves together, verify that the keyed slot on top of the coiled cable assembly is engaged on the small tab located on the back case. This is designed to position the assembly in the correct orientation and prevent it from rotating.
Improper positioning could hinder the case halves from closing and prevent operation when tightening the screws.

CHANGING THE OXYGEN SENSOR

6.1 MAXO2+AE Model
Should the oxygen sensor require changing, the device will indicate this by presenting “Cal Err lo” on the display.
Unthread the sensor from the cable by rotating the thumbscrew connector counterclockwise and pulling the sensor from the connection.
Replace the new sensor by inserting the electrical plug from the coiled cord into the receptacle on the oxygen sensor. Rotate the thumbscrew clockwise until snug. The device will automatically perform calibration and begin displaying % of oxygen.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Store the MAXO2+ analyzer at a temperature similar to its ambient environment of daily use.
The instruction given below describes the methods to clean and disinfect the instrument, sensor, and its accessories (e.g. flow diverter, tee adapter):

Instrument Cleaning:

  • When cleaning or disinfecting the exterior of the MAXO2+ analyzer, take appropriate care to prevent any solution from entering the instrument.

DO NOT immerse the unit in fluids.

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the equipment is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the equipment should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performances are observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the equipment.
