INTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting SSi P/N 13011 for your batch furnace, probe maintenance application.

You lubricate critical machine parts on a regular basis if you want them to last. Your zirconia
carbon sensor also requires regular maintenance. Buildup of carbon in the space between the
zirconia sensing element and the sheath, and at the sensing point, will eventually adversely affect
the proper operation of the probe. If carbon (soot) is allowed to accumulate to the extent that
atmosphere cannot penetrate to the sensing surface, control is impossible. The 13011 is designed
to prevent that from happening by periodically initiating a procedure to remove the carbon. It is
intended for use with batch furnaces only.

DESCRIPTION

The 13011 probe conditioning system is designed for use with a batch furnace. Although many
such furnaces are equipped with programmable controls that could conduct probe conditioning
on a regular basis, it has been our experience that this programming capability is seldom used.
Existing burnoff systems that are designed to work with a programmable controller cannot be
used as "stand alone" systems without significant modification. Further, most cannot provide
adequate air for burnoff because they simply switch the output of low flow reference air pumps
to the burnoff fitting without regard to adequate flow. The 13011 is further designed to use
combustion air for both reference and burnoff functions. Pages 3 - 4 show the piping and wiring
diagram of the 13011.

INSTALLATION

The compact JIC box is provided with flanges, each having two 1/4" mounting holes 10" apart.
Flange holes are vertically separated by 12.5".
Locate the box within about six feet of the sensor, if possible. Mount on standoffs away from
hot surfaces in order to prevent damage to the electronic components.

OPERATION

Once you have conducted the brief startup procedure outlined here, you need only sit back and
enjoy safe, effective probe conditioning. No special programs to write, no scheduled operator
routines.

With the system wired as illustrated, furnace at normal operating temperature, and the valve on
the burnoff air flowmeter closed; set the timer to 3 minutes. Turning the power on will
immediately start a timing cycle. Observe the probe temperature and O2 millivolt reading, and

increase the burnoff airflow until the millivolt reading is below 200 millivolts, preferably close
to zero. The temperature will pass through a maximum as the flow is increased, then drop to a
value close to the normal probe temperature. Burnoff will now occur each time the inner door is
opened, and then closed. A manual burnoff can be conducted simply by turning the power off
momentarily to reset the timer.

Refer to your GOLD PROBETM instruction manual for a complete description of probe
conditioning theory.
