9. Attach the gas cup to new sensor, making sure that when the
sensor assembly is plugged into the analyzer’s main board, the
tubing connections on top of gas cup are aligned as shown in
Figure 6-3.
10. Plug the sensor into analyzer; and then reattach tubing to gas cup.
11. Install the sensor retainer and battery cover.
12. Allow the sensor that was just installed time to stabilize in the
circuit before continuing with this procedure. Stabilization time
for all sensors (except for the NO sensor) is about 1 hour. The NO
sensor baseline technically requires several days to stabilize but
should be suf ciently stabilized for use in approximately 4 hours.
13. Turn ON the analyzer and con rm that no sensor errors occur
during warm up.
NOTE: Discard an old sensor in accordance with local and
federal hazardous waste disposal laws.
14. Enter the B-Smart
®
calibration code, or calibrate the new sensor(s)
per Section 5 (except the O
2
sensor which does not require
calibration).
6.4 Nitric Oxide Sensor Battery Replacement
A single lithium battery, located on the NO Smart Sensor assembly,
applies a bias voltage to the NO sensor to prevent the sensor from destabi-
lizing when the analyzer is turned off. The NO bias battery is expected to
last at least the life of the NO sensor.
NOTE: It is recommended that the bias battery be replaced
whenever the NO sensor is replaced.
Material Required:
Bias battery (refer to Section 8.1 Replacement Parts)
Procedure:
1. Follow the instructions in Section 6.3 to remove the sensor
assembly from position 4.
2. Remove the old battery from its holder on the Nitric Oxide printed
circuit board.
3. Insert the new battery with the positive side toward the sensor
(the battery contact is stamped with a + symbol) .
