page 10). Firmly press the oxygen sensor into the sensor base at
the bottom of the oxy.IQ electronics module.
for a few seconds before it begins to display
immediately
7. Perform an air calibration on the new oxygen sensor at this time.
On the 0-25% oxygen scale, a properly calibrated oxygen sensor
shows a reading of 20.9% on the display and generates a current
of 17.4 mA at the 4-20 mA analog output terminals.
8. Using the blue knurled nut, attach the oxy.IQ electronics module
with the calibrated oxygen sensor to the sensor manifold. Rotate
the display as desired and then hand-tighten the blue knurled
nut.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the O-ring on the top of the sensor
manifold is in place and undamaged. If necessary,
contact GE for a replacement.

9. Begin the flow of the process gas. The analog output reading will
drop as the oxygen sensor adjusts to the reduced oxygen level.
During this time, reset the range as required.
10. For improved accuracy in the ppm oxygen ranges, a span gas
calibration should now be performed (see “Span Gas Calibration”
on page 19).
IMPORTANT: Sensor life is dependent on the application. High oxygen
concentrations and contaminants such as acidic gases
will shorten the sensor life.

3.3 Adjusting and Calibrating the oxy.IQ
Upon startup, the following five-step adjustment and calibration
procedure must be performed on the oxy.IQ:
1. Select the desired output range.
2. Trim the low (4 mA) and high (20 mA) analog outputs.
3. Upon installation of a new oxygen sensor, calibrate the unit with
air for either a ppm or % sensor.
4. For ppm sensors only, purge the sensor with a low ppm oxygen
gas.
5. For all subsequent calibrations, use a span gas that is appropriate
for the sensor and range selected.

3.3.3 Air Calibration
An air calibration is always recommended upon installation of a new
oxygen sensor. However, because of the non-linearity of the oxygen
sensor, a span gas calibration (see the next section) can also be
performed to ensure a faster and more accurate calibration for the
ppm ranges.
CAUTION! The useful life of ppm sensors is extended by
minimizing exposure of the sensor to air.
To perform an air calibration, complete the following steps:
1. Press the
