13.5.6. SENSOR ASSEMBLY
13.5.6.1. Sync/Demodulator Assembly
To verify that the Sync/Demodulator Assembly is working, follow the procedure below:
1. Verify that D1 and D2 are flashing.
If not check the opto pickup assembly, Section 13.5.6.3 and the GFC Wheel drive, Section 13.5.6.4.
If the wheel d
rive and opto pickup are working properly then verify that there is 2.4 ±0.1 VAC and 2.5
±0.15 VDC between digital ground and TP 5 on the sync/demod board. If not then check the wiring
between the sync/demod and opto pickup assembly (see interconnect drawing, P/N 04216). If good
then the sync/demod board is bad.
2. Verify that the IR source is operating, Section 13.5.6.5.
3.
With the anal
yzer connected to zero air, measure between TP11 (measure) and analog ground, and
TP12 (reference) and analog ground.
If they are similar to values recorded on the factory data sheet then there is likely a problem with the
wiring or the A/D converter.
If they are not then either the sync demodulator board or the IR-photodetector are bad. See Section
13.4.1.4 for problems with the IR-photodetector TEC drive.
13.5.6.2. Electrical Test
The electric test function substitutes simulated signals for CO MEAS and CO REF, generated by circuitry on the
sync/demod board, for the output of the IR photo-detector. While in this mode the user can also view the same
test functions viewable from the main SAMPLE display. When the test is running, the concentration reported on
the front panel display should be 40.0 ppm. (See Section 9.6.4 to calibrate Electrical Test).
