The CO2 ANALYZER CALIBRATION menu allows the user to
change CO
2
Analyzer range and the CO
2
analyzer zero and
span parameters when necessary. If a CO
2
analyzer
recalibration is required, please contact the manufacturer or
distributor.
COOLER 16.0C DIFF, defines the programmed cooler
temperature set point (16°C by default) and the operation mode
DIFF (DIFFERENTIAL temperature mode by default). Other
available operation modes are F (FIXED temperature mode) and
B (BACKUP mode).
In DIFFERENTIAL temperature mode, the cooler’s set point is
the ambient temperature, which is BioTector temperature, minus
the programmed set point. For instance, if BioTector
temperature is 20°C, the cooler set point temperature with
above default settings would be 4°C.
In FIXED temperature mode, the cooler’s set point can be
programmed at a fixed temperature, e.g. 5°C.
The BACKUP mode, which can also be programmed manually,
is automatically activated by the BioTector when a cooler fault
occurs. A “54_COOLER LOW TEMP” warning is logged in the
Fault Archive if the cooler temperature has been below 2°C for
more than 600 seconds. If the cooler temperature has been 5°C
greater than the cooler set point temperature and <8°C below
the ambient temperature for more than 600 seconds a
“55_COOLER HIGH TEMP” warning is logged.
Note that the BACKUP mode is automatically cancelled when
the fault is acknowledged in Fault Archive menu.
BACKUP PULSE WIDTH MODULATION (30% by default)
specifies the cooler control routine, which uses a PWM period of
10 seconds to achieve the programmed cooler temperature for
all cooler operation modes. For instance, with the default 30%
setting, the cooler is switched on for 3 seconds, and switched off
for 7 seconds.
When a cooler fault occurs, the cooler operates in BACKUP
mode, where the cooler is controlled by the fixed PWM
operation. In the BACKUP mode operation, the COOLER
settings above and the temperature sensor information is
ignored.
