Fresh Air Solenoid
An external three-way solenoid can be used to provide fresh air or conditioned air during sensor
regeneration. This may be necessary if the sample stream lacks molecular oxygen. A low current
six volt DC solenoid, connected between pins 19 and 11 of the 25 pin rear panel connector, will be
energized during the regeneration cycle if the option board SW100 switch 6 is placed in the OFF
position.
If needed, the circuit may be built from the following components and configured as shown in the
following diagram. It will only function if the option board is installed in the 631-X instrument.
