TMO2D with Fault Alarm and Event Log

Your TMO2D oxygen analyzer has been modified to provide a Fault Alarm relay contact and an Event Log. However, before you can
access these features, the TMO2D must be installed and programmed as instructed in your basic User’s Manual.
Software Version 4B or earlier - go to the section below
Software Version 4C or later - go to the section on page 7

Software Version 4B (or Earlier)

Using the Fault Alarm The Fault Alarm relay is energized during normal operation. If a fault

If the software installed in your analyzer is Version 4B or earlier, proceed with this section. However, if software Version 4C or later is installed in your analyzer, skip this section and proceed directly to the section on page 7.
or a power failure occurs, the relay is de-energized. This is known as failsafe operation. The relay has Form-C contacts, so that a fault can be indicated with either an open contact or a closed contact.
The failsafe Fault Alarm trips when one or more of the following fault events occurs:
power failure
RAM checksum failure (memory corruption)
transmitter under range
transmitter over range
no calibration curve
The TMO2D indicates a fault event by de-energizing the relay. If multiple faults occur simultaneously, the TMO2D indicates the fault from highest precedence (power failure) to lowest (no calibration curve), in the order listed above. When all fault conditions have been removed, the fault relay is re-energized.
Faults are detected only when the TMO2D is in Operate Mode (displaying data). When in Menu Mode (during programming), the detection and signaling of faults is suspended. In this case, the Fault Alarm holds its last state (energized or de-energized) until the unit has been returned to Operate Mode.

Using the Fault Alarm (cont.)
To provide power-failure detection, the Fault Alarm relay is energized (ON) during normal operation and de-energized (OFF) during a fault condition. Therefore, when testing the alarm relay, select “ON” to indicate a normal operating condition and “OFF” to indicate a fault condition (see Table 1 below).

Table 1: Fault Alarm Relay Conditions

Condition Alarm State Alarm Test Selection
normal operation energized ON
fault de-energized OFF

Wiring the Fault Alarm Your TMO2D uses the relay labeled “CAL” for the Fault Alarm.

Wire the Fault Alarm as shown in Figure 1 below.

Using the Event Log Your modified TMO2D maintains an Event Log in battery-backed

memory . Among other things, this log indicates the nature of any fault signaled by the Fault Alarm relay by recording the type, date, and time of the relevant events.
The Event Log can record up to 25 events of the following types:
factory initialization
system power on
system RESET
RAM checksum failure (memory corruption)
transmitter under range
transmitter over range
no calibration curve
return to normal operation
Note: Testing the Fault Alarm does not appear in the Event L o g .
The TMO2D stores only the 25 most recent events in its memory. When additional events occur, the TMO2D discards the oldest event from the log to make room for the new event.

Using the Fault Alarm The Fault Alarm relay is energized during normal operation. If a fault

or a power failure occurs, the relay is de-energized. This is known as failsafe operation. The relay has Form-C contacts, so that a fault can be indicated with either an open contact or a closed contact.
The failsafe Fault Alarm trips when one or more of the following fault events occurs:
power failure
RAM checksum failure (memory corruption)

AutoCal Drift/Cal
The TMO2D indicates a fault event by de-energizing the relay. If multiple faults occur simultaneously, the TMO2D indicates the fault from highest precedence (power failure) to lowest (no calibration curve), in the order listed above. When all fault conditions have been removed, the fault relay is re-energized.
