Hazardous Area Oxymitter 5000
Figure 8-4. Fault 2, Shorted Thermocouple
Fault 2, Shorted Thermocouple
Figure 8-4 shows the electronic assembly for a
Hazardous Area Oxymitter 5000 with a
membrane keypad (upper view) and a
Hazardous Area Oxymitter 5000 with an LOI
(lower view). The upper view also shows J1 and
test points TP1 through TP6, located on the
microprocessor board, below the membrane
keypad or the LOI module.
Membrane Keypad
When Fault 2 is detected, the HEATER T/C LED
flashes twice, pauses for three seconds, and
repeats.
1. Using a multimeter, measure the volt-age
from TP3+ to TP4-. If the reading is 0 ±0.5
mV, then a shorted thermocouple is likely.
2. Remove power and disconnect J1.
3. Measure the resistance from TP3+ to TP4-.
The reading should be approximately 20K
ohms.
4. If so, the short is not on the PC board. The
thermocouple wiring or the thermocouple is
shorted. See "Heater Strut Replacement" in
Section 9: Maintenance and Service.
LOI
When Fault 2 is detected, the LOI displays the
"O2 T/C Shorted" message.
1. Remove power. Unscrew and remove the
LOI module from the electronic assembly.
2. Reconnect power to the Oxymitter 5000.
3. Perform the diagnostic steps 1 through 4
shown for the membrane keypad.
