1 Safety warnings

WARNING: THIS INDICATES A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION THAT, IF NOT

AVOIDED, COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

CAUTION: THIS INDICATES A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION THAT, IF NOT

AVOIDED, COULD RESULT IN EQUIPMENT DAMAGE OR LOSS OF DATA.

NOTE: THIS INDICATES INFORMATION THAT IS CONSIDERED IMPORTANT BUT IS

NOT HAZARD RELATED.

1.1 Electrochemical Sensors (O2/CO) – Caustic Electrolyte

Electrochemical sensors contain caustic compounds. Under normal conditions the sensor will be
safely sealed. To prevent leakage, the unit must not be exposed to temperatures outside the
specified range, or be exposed to organic vapours, which may cause physical damage to the body
of the sensor. The unit must not be stored in areas containing organic solvents or in flammable
liquid stores.

When the life of the sensor has expired or it is leaking or otherwise damaged it must be disposed
of safely in accordance with local regulations.

The carbon monoxide cell contains an acidic electrolyte (sulphuric acid) whilst the oxygen cell
contains alkaline electrolyte (potassium hydroxide). In the event of an accident, use the following
first aid procedures:

1.2 Pressurised gas

1) Do not exceed the specified maximum pressures. Failure to do so may result in damage to
the equipment and to personnel.

2) Users of this equipment MUST be familiar with the handling of pressurised gas.

3) Take particular care when handling toxic or flammable gases. In such cases ensure that all
exhaust is vented into well ventilated areas.

4) For systems with exhaust outlets, do not block the exhaust outlet.

1.3 Helium Ingress

Care must be taken when choosing the location for the SDA sensor modules that include
atmospheric pressure compensation. These include the MEC O2 % (MECO2ABB) and SDA CO2
modules. Helium can diffuse into the pressure sensing components in the sensor housing and
affect the overall sensor accuracy.

To avoid helium ingress issue with the sensor modules, they should be fitted into well ventilated
panels or racks where the content in the atmosphere is ideally less than 1% helium. Levels
exceeding this will degrade sensor performance and levels greater than 5% will reduce sensor life
expectancy. Note that this does not affect the MEC O2 partial pressure sensor (MECO2ABAP) as
this is does not include automatic pressure compensation.

1.4 ESD and Electric Shock

To prevent damage to the SDA units they must not be operated with any casework removed to
prevent the likelihood of damage to the electronic components and accidental electric shock. The
rear USB and Ethernet connectors are shielded to and internal electronic ground and should not be
connected to protective earth. The stud on the rear of the case provides the main connection to
protective earth which must be connected to maintain EMC performance.

2 Introduction

The SDA range is composed of a family of atmospheric analysis systems which are suitable for
applications where continuous monitoring of atmospheres is required. Each type of system in the
range will provide independent measurement and display of atmospheric variables with clear
audible and visual alarms to warn when potentially dangerous levels are reached.

The SDA range is designed to be highly modular and flexible so that it can be easily integrated into
custom atmospheric monitoring solutions.

The core of each analyser is a compact monitor unit which provides the display and user interface
for the system. A full colour 3.5” TFT display gives clear reading and status information and is
suitable for a wide range of lighting and mounting positions. The controls present quick and simple
access to the most common system functions such as calibration and alarm adjustment, with more
detailed setup and diagnostic information accessed through an easy to use menu system.

The RS485 communication ports on the rear of a monitor provide connections to a range of Analox
gas and environmental sensors and peripherals. These provide the flexibility to mount sensors and
peripherals alongside the monitor or up to hundreds of metres away without affecting
performance.

The SDA range is compliant with the type approval specifications from the major classification
societies in the marine industry for both the general power distribution and bridge zones (refer to
section 13 for more details).

3.2 Networking Capability

The SDA system is capable of sharing data across Ethernet networks, either for communications
between SDA Units for conversion and compensation, or with an active host, or passive listening
device for external communications, via the RJ45 socket that can be found at the rear of the SDA
Unit. Multiple SDA Units can be linked together, or on a host network, via an Ethernet Switch Unit.

There are currently 2 core transport protocol methods are used in the SDA:

1. User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Using this core protocol, each SDA, when configured, will
transmit data, in a pre-determined format, which can then be utilized by other SDA’s, or
an external PC for the following purposes:

a. Intra-SDA sharing of data for cross-compensation purposes. For example, SDA

Units can be configured to share pressure data across the network; sensor value
readings in ‘listening’ SDA Units can be manipulated to show pressure-
compensated values on the display.

b. External data access can be achieved where an external device, such as a

monitoring PC, could be used to listen to individual SDA’s on the network for
monitoring, or data-logging purposes. Each SDA can be configured to broadcast
data on a range of base ports, configurable in the Networking Menu.

2. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Using this core protocol, external devices can send
requests to SDA Units for data, using a pre-determined format. A host device, such as a
PC, would send a request for data to one or more SDA Units on a network, on an individual
request basis, to specific IP addresses. The SDA Units can be user-configured to specific
IP addresses via the Networking Menu, so the user can specify which addresses to use,
where required.

For UDP communications, SDA Units are allocated a base port address, with an offset which is
determined by sensor type. There is an additional offset available to allow for multiple types of
the same gas sensor on the same network. Any device wishing to ‘listen’ to data transmissions
from the SDA Unit, must listen out on the specific Port Address for that SDA and Sensor.

The following tables can be used to verify that the correct UDP address is set in your SDA:

Base Port = 900

Sensor Type Offset Value
None 0
Carbon Dioxide +1
Oxygen +2
Carbon Monoxide +3
VOC +4
Dew point +5
Hydrogen +6
Helium +7
Pressure (Depth) +8
Temperature +9
Humidity +10
Nitric Oxide +11
Nitrogen Dioxide +12
Hydrogen Sulphide +13
Sulphur Dioxide +14
Ozone +15

Same sensor-type offsets can be calculated using the following table:

Base Port = 900

Same Type Sensor Offset Value

1 +0
2 +100
3 +200
4 +300

12 +1100
13 +1200
14 +1300
15 +1400
16 +1500

Example 1

When using a single Oxygen SDA Unit, and a single Pressure SDA Unit, the UDP Port Addresses
should be configured as follows:

Oxygen = 900 (Base Port) + 2 (Oxygen Offset) = 902

Pressure = 900 (Base Port) + 8 (Pressure Offset) = 908

Commercial in Confidence
SDA
User Manual Int. Approved
When using 2 Oxygen SDA Units, and a single Pressure SDA Unit on the network, the UDP base
port will need to be changed to avoid network conflicts:

Oxygen 1 = 900 (Base Port) + 2 (Oxygen Offset) = 902

Oxygen 2 = 1000 (Base Port) + 2 (Oxygen Offset) = 1002

Pressure = 900 (Base Port) + 8 (Pressure Offset) = 908

NOTE: SDA UNITS THAT ARE LISTENING TO OTHER SENSOR TYPES ON THE
NETWORK, WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE CONFIGURED TO LOOK ON THE
APPROPRIATE PORT FOR THE SENSOR TYPE AND THE CONFIGURED BASE
PORT.

FOR EXAMPLE, IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE PRESSURE SDA UNITS

BROADCASTING DATA ON THE NETWORK, ANY SDA WISHING TO USE
PRESSURE DATA FROM THE UDP BROADCASTS, CAN ONLY SUBSCRIBE TO
THE PRESSURE SENSOR ON ITS OWN BASE PORT.

FOR TCP COMMUNICATIONS, THE HOST PC WOULD SEND DATA REQUESTS

TO SDA UNITS ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND THE SDA UNITS WILL
RESPOND INDIVIDUALLY; THE IP ADDRESS AND SERVER PORT ARE
CONFIGURABLE IN THE NETWORKING MENU.

THE UDP AND TCP DATAGRAMS FOR SDA COMMUNICATIONS ARE

AVAILABLE ON THE ANALOX WEBSITE, AND ARE ALSO INCLUDED ON THE
SDA SOFTWARE DISK.

3.3 System Overviews

3.3.1 SDA O2

There are two types of oxygen monitoring system arrangement based on a SDA Monitor and MEC
O2 sensor, depending on which monitoring application is required. The MEC O 2 sensor is designed
to operate in either atmospheric or hyperbaric environments, to depths of 350 msw.

The atmospheric version of the sensor is ranged to 100% O 2 and has inbuilt pressure
compensation which will automatically adjust to changes in the ambient atmospheric pressure.
This enables accurate measurement and adjustment when operating in atmospheres between 700
mbara and 1300 mbara. When fitted with a flow adaptor, as shown in the figure below, the 100%
O2 version of the sensor can monitor a sample line from a remote source or chamber (refer to
section 4.5 for pipe work detail). When used without a flow adaptor the MEC O 2 sensor will
measure oxygen in the surrounding ambient atmosphere diffusing across the sensor membrane.

CAUTION: ENSURE THAT WHEN USED WITH A FLOW ADAPTOR THAT SAMPLE
PRESSURE IS REDUCED DOWN TO ALMOST ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
BEFORE PASSING TO THE SENSOR. THIS WILL PREVENT POTENTIAL
DAMAGE TO THE SENSOR AND AFFECTS THAT CAN CAUSE ELEVATED
SENSOR READINGS. A FLOW RATE BETWEEN 0.2 AND 1.0 L/MIN IS
ACCEPTABLE, 0.5 L/MIN IS RECOMMENDED.

3.3.2 SDA Dual Display O2

The dual display O2 variant of the SDA is physically identical to the standard O2 SDA but requires a
pressure input to convert the mbar units from the O2 sensor to a percent value and shows both
mbar and percent values on the display screen as shown below.

Figure 2 – Dual Display O2 screen

One option is that the sensor can be located outside of the chamber and use a pressure sensor
located within the chamber to give the sensor the hyperbaric pressure reading from the chamber.

CAUTION: ENSURE THAT WHEN USED WITH A FLOW ADAPTOR THAT THE SAMPLE
PRESSURE IS REDUCED DOWN TO ALMOST ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
BEFORE PASSING TO THE SENSOR. THIS WILL PREVENT POTENTIAL
DAMAGE TO THE SENSOR AND AFFECTS THAT CAN CAUSE ELEVATED
SENSOR READINGS. A FLOW RATE BETWEEN 0.2 AND 1.0 L/MIN IS
ACCEPTABLE, 0.5 L/MIN IS RECOMMENDED.

Another option would be to locate the O2 sensor within the chamber, 2 options are available:
• A low pressure variant (Up to 10bara) where the pressure reading is taken from the O 2
sensors on-board pressure sensor to give the hyperbaric pressure for conversion
• A high pressure variant (Up to 40bara) where the pressure reading can be taken from a
pressure sensor located within the chamber to give the sensor the hyperbaric pressure
reading.

NOTE: CALIBRATION IS PERFORMED DIFFERENTLY TO A STANDARD O2 SDA,

CALIBRATION CAN BE PERFORMED AS PER SECTION 5.5.2

3.3.3 SDA CO2

The SDA CO2 is composed of an SDA Monitor and a CO2 module with a 220mm signal cable. The
module contains the carbon dioxide sensor and is designed to fit alongside the monitor in a rack or
panel (depending on which type is supplied). Where longer distances are required between the
CO2 module and the monitor, the cable connection can be extended with the use of a terminal
block with a cable of 2 twisted pairs with an outer shield.

The sample lines are compatible with 6mm OD, 4mm ID flexible tubing. The input sample passes
through the flow meter first and can take a maximum input pressure of 6 bara.

CAUTION: THE FLOW MUST BE REGULATED ON THE FLOW METER TO BE

GREATER THAN 0.2 L/MIN AND LESS THAN 1.0 L/MIN, A FLOW OF
0.5 L/MIN IS RECOMMENDED. WHEN BOTH SDA O2 AND SDA CO2
SYSTEMS ARE FITTED IN THE SAME RACK OR PANEL, THE EXHAUST
LINE FROM THE CO2 SYSTEM MAY BE CONNECTED TO INPUT OF THE
O2 FLOW ADAPTOR TO IF IT IS REQUIRED TO MONITOR THE SAME
SAMPLE LINE.

NOTE: WHEN CALIBRATING THE CO2 SENSOR, CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN
SELECTING THE CALIBRATION GAS USED. THE BALANCE OR BACKGROUND
GAS CAN HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE SENSOR READING, IF CALIBRATING
WITH A NITROGEN BALANCE GAS AND THE SENSOR IS THEN SHOWN A
HELIUM BALANCE GAS AFTER CALIBRATION, THE SENSOR WILL READ
CONSIDERABLY LOWER. IF CALIBRATED WITH A HELIUM BALANCE GAS
AND THE SENSOR IS THEN SHOWN A NITROGEN BALANCE GAS AFTER
CALIBRATION, THE SENSOR WILL READ CONSIDERABLY HIGHER.

Select the calibration balance gas to match the intended background gas to be measured.

See section 4.5.2 for fitting details.

3.3.4 SDA CO & SDA CO+

The SDA CO is composed of an SDA Monitor and MEC CO sensor module with a 150mm signal
cable.
The SDA CO+ is composed of an SDA Monitor and TEC CO sensor module with a 200mm signal
cable.
Both variants of sensors are ranged to 20ppm CO and have inbuilt temperature compensation,
which will automatically adjust to changes in the ambient temperature. When fitted with a flow
adaptor, as shown in the figure below, the 20ppm CO version of the sensor can monitor a sample
line from a remote source or chamber (refer to section 4.5 for pipe work detail). When used
without a flow adaptor the MEC or TEC CO sensors will measure carbon monoxide in the
surrounding ambient atmosphere diffusing across the sensor membrane.

CAUTION: ENSURE THAT WHEN USED WITH A FLOW ADAPTOR THAT SAMPLE
PRESSURE IS REDUCED DOWN TO ALMOST ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
BEFORE PASSING TO THE SENSOR. THIS WILL PREVENT POTENTIAL
DAMAGE TO THE SENSOR AND AFFECTS THAT CAN CAUSE ELEVATED
SENSOR READINGS. A FLOW RATE BETWEEN 0.2 AND 1.0 L/MIN IS

The sensors come with a 150mm cable and will fit the either of the two mounting bracket
accessories (see section 9). These can be used on both rack and panel mounting versions of the
system. Where longer cable distances are required the connection can be extended replacing the
connector on the short cable with a terminal block or by replacing the cable from the internal MEC
connector block. A cable of 2 twisted pairs with an outer shield is required to maintain
communication integrity, enabling distances up to 500m to be achieved between the monitor and
sensor.

3.3.4.1 Sensor characteristics in the presence of helium

NOTE: WHEN CALIBRATING THE CO SENSOR, CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN

SELECTING THE CALIBRATION GAS USED. THE BALANCE OR BACKGROUND
GAS CAN HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE SENSOR READING AS EXPLAINED IN
THE FOLLOWING TEXT.

Select the calibration balance gas to match the intended background gas to be measured.

The carbon monoxide sensor is a capillary type sensor. This type of sensor is affected by the
presence of helium. When exposed to a gas containing significant amounts of helium the sensor
will over-read.

The reason for this phenomenon, is down to the small size of the helium molecule compared to
other molecules present (mostly nitrogen and oxygen molecules). The helium molecules diffuse
more rapidly through the capillary into the sensor, allowing more capacity for the larger carbon
monoxide (CO) molecules to enter the sensor. More CO molecules in the sensor results in a
stronger electrochemical reaction and an artificially high reading.

The size of the over reading is dependent upon the amount of helium present. As a worst case, an
instrument calibrated on an air balanced gas, will over-read by a factor of 2.3 if exposed to a
helium balanced gas. This means that the instrument will read 4.6ppm when exposed to 2ppm CO
gas.
The following graph approximately shows how the over-read factor varies with Helium
concentration:

This over-reading can be removed by calibration. For the best accuracy of CO measurement,
calibrate the instrument with gases that closely match the balance gas that will be measured in
your application. I.e. if the measured gas contains 99% Helium and 1% O2, a calibration gas
containing 18ppm CO, 1% O2 and helium balance will give the greatest accuracy of measurement.
It should be noted that this correction only works while the measured balance gas remains the
same as the calibration gas

WARNING: IN THE SAME WAY AS A SENSOR OVER-READS WHEN CALIBRATED IN AIR

AND EXPOSED TO HELIUM. AN INSTRUMENT CALIBRATED IN HELIUM
WILL UNDER-READ WHEN EXPOSED TO AIR. IN SOME APPLICATIONS IT
IS NORMAL FOR THE BALANCE GAS TO CHANGE DURING OPERATION.
CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT THE ALARMS WILL TRIGGER AT
THE CORRECT LEVEL OF CO FOR ALL LEVELS OF BALANCE GAS EXPECTED.
THIS IS TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THOSE BREATHING THE GASES. FOR
EXAMPLE IF THE INSTRUMENT IS CALIBRATED ON A HELIUM BALANCE
GAS, A SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER CONCENTRATION OF CO WILL BE
REQUIRED TO TRIGGER THE ALARMS IF THE BALANCE GAS MEASURED IS
AIR.

For this reason Analox recommend, that a gas that is air balanced (18ppm CO, air balance) is best,
as this offers safe triggering of alarms regardless of the gas being measured. The alarms will
trigger early when exposed to helium balanced gases, however this normally considered to be a
safe situation.

3.3.5 SDA He

The SDA He is composed of an SDA Monitor and MEC He module with a 150mm signal cable. The
sensor is ranged to 100% He. When fitted with a flow adaptor, as shown in the figure below, the
sensor can monitor a sample line from a remote source or chamber (refer to section 4.5 for pipe
work detail). When used without a flow adaptor the MEC He sensor will measure helium in the
surrounding ambient atmosphere diffusing across the sensor membrane.

CAUTION: ENSURE THAT WHEN USED WITH A FLOW ADAPTOR THAT SAMPLE
PRESSURE IS REDUCED DOWN TO ALMOST ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
BEFORE PASSING TO THE SENSOR. THIS WILL PREVENT POTENTIAL
DAMAGE TO THE SENSOR AND AFFECTS THAT CAN CAUSE ELEVATED
SENSOR READINGS. A FLOW RATE BETWEEN 0.2 AND 1.0 L/MIN IS

3.3.8 SDA Depth with Rate of Change alarms (RoC)

The SDA Depth (RoC) is composed of an SDA Monitor and APT RS485 module with a 150mm signal
cable and a 550mm RS485 sensor cable with flying leads. The sensors can be ranged up to 100
bar (The correct range should be calibrated at time of installation according to the target sensor
range).
When connected the sensor can monitor a digital signal from a remote RS485 pressure sensor
either inside or outside chamber. The mating cable is 550m in length as standard, this can be
extended by the end user using a junction box termination.
The difference between the standard SDA Depth and the SDA Depth (RoC) is how the alarms work
when being in a state of compression or de-compression and also that you can meet the accuracy
requirements of DNV-OS-E402 (October 2010) using an SDA Depth with RoC.
NOTE: USER CALIBRATION OF THE PRESSURE SENSOR REMAINS THE SAME ON
BOTH THE STANDARD SDA DEPTH AND THE SDA DEPTH (ROC) BY USING
THE CONTROLS ON THE FRONT OF THE MONITOR, BUT IF WANTING TO
MEET ACCURACY REQUIREMENTS OF DNV-OS-E402 THE SENSOR SHOULD
BE CALIBRATED USING A KNOWN CERTIFIED REFERENCE, HAVING A
THIRD PARTY CALIBRATE THE SENSOR USING THEIR OWN CERTIFIED
EQUIPMENT OR THE SENSOR MUST BE RETURNED FOR CALIBRATION BY A
KNOWN CERTIFIED BODY.

3.3.9 SDA VOC

The SDA VOC is composed of an SDA Monitor and MEC VOC module with a 150mm signal cable.
The sensor is ranged to 50ppm VOC and has inbuilt temperature compensation, which will
automatically adjust to changes in the ambient temperature. When fitted with a flow adaptor, as
shown in the figure below, the 50ppm VOC version of the sensor can monitor a sample line from a
remote source or chamber (refer to section 4.5 for pipe work detail). When used without a flow
adaptor the MEC VOC sensor will measure VOC’s in the surrounding ambient atmosphere diffusing
across the sensor membrane.

CAUTION: ENSURE THAT THE SAMPLE IS FILTERED PRIOR TO ENTRY TO THE

SENSOR, ANALOX RECOMMEND A 0.2 MICRON HYDROPHOBIC FILTER DISC
TO FILTER THE SAMPLE PRIOR TO THE VOC SENSOR. THE FILTERING IS
REQUIRED TO STOP ANY PARTICULATES BUILDING UP ON THE LAMP. IF
NO FILTER IS FITTED, THE LAMP WILL HAVE TO BE CLEANED/REPLACED
AT MORE FREQUENT INTERVALS.

CAUTION: ENSURE THAT WHEN USED WITH A FLOW ADAPTOR THAT SAMPLE
PRESSURE IS REDUCED DOWN TO ALMOST ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
BEFORE PASSING TO THE SENSOR. THIS WILL PREVENT POTENTIAL
DAMAGE TO THE SENSOR AND AFFECTS THAT CAN CAUSE ELEVATED
SENSOR READINGS. A FLOW RATE BETWEEN 0.2 AND 1.0 L/MIN IS
ACCEPTABLE, 0.2 L/MIN IS RECOMMENDED. THE REASONING BEHIND THE
RECOMMENDED LOWER FLOW IS TO PROLONG THE LIFE OF THE PID LAMP.

NOTE: WHEN CALIBRATING THE VOC SENSOR, CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN
SELECTING THE CALIBRATION GAS USED, ANALOX RECOMMEND USING AN
18PPM ISOBUTYLENE BALANCE NITROGEN CALIBRATION GAS.

4.3.2 Analogue Output

The analogue output may be configured by wiring to either the current sink (passive) or to the
current source (active). When configured as an active source the default drive voltage is nominally
+13V DC.

By use of a suitable load resistor with the active source connection, the unit may provide a voltage
output with full scale output configurable to over +12V DC depending on the value of the resistor
used. For 0-1V output, the resistor would be 50R, for 0-2V use 100R etc.

If an external current source is used, the unit should be wired as a current sink using pins 1 and 2,
with the negative of the external source connected to pin 1. The drive voltage of the external
source should be no more than 48V due to the overvoltage protection diodes, but the unit only
requires a compliance voltage of less than 1V to properly control the output current.

If an external current sink is used (e.g., a simple analogue meter), the unit should be wired as a
current source using pins 2 and 3. In this case, the positive of the source is on pin 3. The
resistance of the external sink must be considered; as standard the unit is configured to drive an
external resistance up to at least 550R (greater than 12V compliance voltage).

4.3.3 Relay Outputs

There are two identical controllable relay outputs with a single change-over contact each, with the
COM (common) line connected to either NO (normally open) or NC (normally closed).

For true failsafe the NO-COM contact pair can be used to indicate an OK state when closed, so that
disconnections or open circuit cable faults will provide the fault state.

For details of the operational states of the relays when connected to an SDA see section 5.12.2.

5.2.2 System status indicator

The system status indicator shows the current status of the SDA system. If any alarm condition
has been identified then the system status indicator will turn red and display the word ‘Alarm’. If
any system fault is identified then the status indicator will turn yellow and display the word ‘Fault’.
In no current alarm or fault conditions have been identified then the system status indicator will
turn green and display the word ‘OK’. Figure 29 shows the different system status indicator states.

Figure 29 – System status indicator

5.2.3 Device identification label

At the top of the main display screen is the device identification label. By default this label
indicates the type of SDA as shown in Figure 30. An SDA can be configured using the SDA
software to display a custom identification label. This can be used to help identify individual units
in a large panel. Figure 31 shows an example of a custom identification label. For instructions on
how to configure the identification label see section 6.3.1.

5.3 Sensor readings

5.3.1 Sensor reading update

When a sensor is attached to an SDA a live reading from the sensor will be displayed in the centre
of the main display. This reading will be updated on the display once per second. If no valid sensor
reading is currently available then three dashes (‘---‘) will be shown instead.

5.3.2 Sensor warm-up

Under certain circumstances, when the digital sensor attached to the SDA cannot display a valid
reading then the display will show that the sensor is in a warm-up state. Warm-up occurs when
the SDA is initially powered up and may last 10 to 60 seconds depending on the sensor type
attached. Under certain circumstances the sensor may enter a warm-up state whilst it processes
information such as after a calibration adjustment has been attempted or when a sensor is re-
connected after being disconnected. Whilst in a warm-up state, the display reading is shown as
three dashes (‘---‘) and a warm-up processing animation is displayed (Figure 32).

5.4 Alarms

Each SDA comes with two alarms defined for each sensor attached. Each alarm is defined by a set-
point and a direction. The name, set-point and direction of both alarms are shown on the main
display screen as shown in Figure 27 and Figure 28. Every second, as the sensor reading is
updated, each alarm is checked against the current reading. For high-going direction alarms, an
alarm condition will be triggered if the sensor reading is greater than the alarm set-point.
Conversely, for low-going direction alarms, an alarm condition will be triggered if the sensor
reading is less than the alarm set-point.

Figure 33 – A low-going alarm that has been triggered

When an alarm condition is identified the horn will immediately sound and the system status
indicator will flash, coloured red, showing the word ‘alarm’. In addition the sensor reading will be
displayed, coloured red, and the set-point for the alarm that has been triggered will be highlighted.
Figure 33 shows an example of a low-going alarm that has been triggered by a low oxygen
reading.

Figure 34 – Example of two high-going alarms

In cases where two alarms with the same direction are defined, the horn and alarm status will be
triggered when the first alarm condition is met. If the sensor reading continues in the same
direction and the second alarm condition is met then both alarm conditions will be shown as
triggered. Figure 34 shows an example of two high-going carbon dioxide alarms.

If the first alarm is triggered and the horn is subsequently muted, the horn will be re-activated if
the second alarm is triggered.

Figure 35 - Example of active alarms on dual sensor system

5.4.1 Muting alarms

When an alarm condition is triggered and the horn sounds, the horn can be muted by pressing the
red mute button. This will mute the horn in all occasions where the horn is activated. In addition,
when an alarm is muted, the system status indicator on the display will stop flashing and will
instead be shown in solid red to indicate that the alarm has been acknowledged.

5.4.2 Clearing alarms and hysteresis

To avoid nuisance re-triggering of alarms when a sensor reading is fluctuating around an alarm
set-point, each alarm has a hysteresis band applied to it. This hysteresis applies to the clearing of
an already triggered alarm. An alarm will always trigger immediately when the sensor reading
passes the set-point in the correct direction. However, when the sensor returns in the opposite
direction through the same set-point, it must go an amount beyond the set-point before the alarm
will clear. This extra amount required to clear an alarm is the alarm’s hysteresis. Figure 36 shows
an example of a hysteresis band on a high going alarm.

The hysteresis applied to an alarm is adjusted automatically based on the value of the alarm set-
point. Hysteresis for each sensor range is defined by a percentage of set-point and a maximum
hysteresis value. The hysteresis applied to the alarm is the smaller of the two values for a
particular set-point.

Figure 36 - Hysteresis band on a high going oxygen alarm

5.4.3 SDA Depth (ROC) alarms

There are two ROC alarms per SDA, a fast ROC alarm set to activate at a specified msw / minute
level and a slow ROC alarm which has a set-point at a specified msw / hour reading. The two
alarms annunciate an audio / visual alarm at the monitor.

5.4.4 Latching alarms

Alarms can operate in either latching or non-latching mode.

With latching alarms disabled, if an alarm is triggered and sensor reading subsequently returns to
a level that would not trigger the alarm, the visual and audio indicators will be cancelled as soon
as the reading passes the hysteresis point (see section 5.4.2).

With latching alarms enabled, if an alarm is triggered and the sensor reading subsequently
returns to a level that would not trigger the alarm, the visual and audio indicators will continue
until the mute button is pressed to acknowledge the alarm. Once acknowledged, the visual and
audio indicators will be cancelled. Whilst latching is enabled, if an alarm is acknowledged by

pressing the mute button prior to the sensor reading passing back through the alarm set-point
then the visual and audio indicators will be cancelled as soon as the reading passes the hysteresis
point (see section 5.4.2).

For instructions on how to set the latching alarms option see section 6.3.1.

5.4.5 Alarm reminders

In situations where it is important that alarm conditions are not missed, the alarm reminder
feature can be enabled. Reminders will re-trigger the horn for an alarm condition if the condition is
not cleared after a specified time. The horn will be re-triggered even if it has previously been
muted. The horn will not be retriggered once the sensor reading reaches a level that no longer
triggers the alarm.

For instructions on how to set the alarm reminder option and reminder timeout see section 4.3.2.

5.4.6 Adjusting alarm set-points

Each of the SDA’s alarm set-points can be individually adjusted to suit the monitoring application.
To adjust a set-point, first select the alarm to adjust by pushing and holding the alarm-adjust
toggle switch in the direction of the chosen alarm (up for higher alarm, down for lower alarm -
Figure 37).

NOTE: FOR DUAL SENSOR DEVICES, THE LEFT TOGGLE SWITCH IS USED TO
ADJUST THE FIRST SENSOR’S ALARMS AND THE RIGHT TOGGLE SWITCH
IS USED TO ADJUST THE SECOND SENSOR’S ALARMS.

NOTE: THE ALARM-ADJUST TOGGLE SWITCH MUST BE HELD IN THE CHOSEN

STATE UNTIL THE NEW SET-POINT IS CONFIRMED. RELEASING THE
SWITCH PRIOR TO CONFIRMATION WILL RETURN THE SET-POINT TO ITS
ORIGINAL VALUE.

Figure 37 - Selecting an alarm to adjust

When the alarm-adjust toggle switch is held in the adjustment position, the alarm adjustment
panel will be shown in place of the alarm set-points panel (Figure 38 - 1) showing the name of the
alarm to be adjusted and the current alarm set-point, coloured yellow.

Using the adjustment knob, the set-point can be adjusted by rotating the knob clock-wise to
increase the set-point and anti-clockwise to decrease the set-point (Figure 38 - 2).

Once the desired new set-point is shown, press the set button to confirm the value. Once
confirmed the set-point number displayed will turn green (Figure 38 - 3). Once the new set-point

5.5 Calibration adjustment

Whilst in use, an SDA’s sensor should be periodically calibrated at intervals deemed necessary for
the monitoring application by exposing the sensor to gas of a known concentration. Calibration
adjustments of the sensor’s output can be made where necessary as follows.

NOTE: FOR CERTAIN SENSORS (SUCH AS THE TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY

SENSOR), IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PERFORM A USER CALIBRATION
ADJUSTMENT. WHERE THIS IS THE CASE, THE CALIBRATION FEATURE
WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR THE SENSOR.

Each sensor’s output is defined by two calibration points, one low and one high. To perform a
successful calibration adjustment, both low and high calibration points should be adjusted.

NOTE: THE HIGH AND LOW CALIBRATIONS PERFORMED ON A SENSOR SHOULD

BE SELECTED APPROPRIATELY. SOME SENSORS (E.G. CARBON DIOXIDE)
REQUIRE THAT THE LOW CALIBRATION IS A TRUE ZERO CALIBRATION
ADJUSTMENT. FOR THESE SENSORS, A GAS WITH A KNOWN ZERO
CONCENTRATION OF THE TARGET GAS SHOULD BE USED. FOR OTHER
SENSORS WHERE THE LOW CALIBRATION ADJUSTMENT IS NOT
RESTRICTED, A HIGH AND LOW CALIBRATION ADJUSTMENT VALUE
SHOULD BE SELECTED. THE SELECTED GAS CONCENTRATIONS SHOULD
BEST REFLECT THE RANGE OVER WHICH THE SENSOR IS INTENDED TO BE
USED FOR GREATER READING ACCURACY.

NOTE: WHEN CALIBRATING THE CO SENSOR, CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN

SELECTING THE CALIBRATION GAS USED. THE BALANCE OR BACKGROUND
GAS CAN HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE SENSOR READING. SEE SECTION
3.3.4.1 FOR DETAILS OF CALIBRATION GAS SELECTION FOR CO VERSION.

Typically, a % oxygen sensor (MECO2ABBP) monitoring a sample line in a saturation diving

scenario, at a depth of 200msw, and maintaining an oxygen partial pressure of 400mbar ppO 2, the
analyser is expected to read 1.90%. Therefore the high calibration gas in such a case is likely to be
chosen between 3 and 5% oxygen in helium, which ensures that the analyser is calibrated close to
the point of interest. It is vital that at shallower depths, the analyser is recalibrated, since any
errors at this calibration point will be magnified at shallower depths, when the oxygen content is
higher. Note that the MEC and the SDA CO2 sensor modules contain an atmospheric pressure
sensor which will automatically compensate for pressure effects on the gas during calibration
(observe safety warnings on helium ingress, see section 1.3).

To calibrate the partial pressure oxygen sensor (MECO2ABAP) the operator must enter the correct
partial pressure gas value at the SDA Monitor. If the sensor is in a hyperbaric atmosphere, for
example in a Saturation Dive Chamber this value may be derived from other sensors monitoring
the chamber. If the sensor is at atmospheric pressure and bottled calibration gas is used then the
certified partial pressure value of the calibration gas must be calculated by the operator when the
calibration step is performed. Note that the partial pressure MEC O 2 sensor does not include
automatic atmospheric pressure compensation.

A gas containing 50% O2 would be equivalent to 500mbar at the sensor under exactly 1bara
atmosphere. The operator must adjust the calibration value according to the current atmospheric
pressure, so for this gas if the pressure is 1017mbara, (1.017bara) then multiplying 500mbar by
1.017 will determine that 508.5mbar of O2 will be present at the sensor. The operator can enter
this compensated value during the calibration step, see below.

5.5.1 Performing a gas calibration adjustment

To perform a calibration adjustment, first expose the sensor to the appropriate calibration gas of
known concentration. The sensor should be allowed to settle for a period of time so that the sensor
reading can stabilise. This will depend on both the settling time of the sensor and on the length of
pipe-work and the flow rate of gas between the gas source and the sensor.

Once the sensor reading has settled for the applied calibration gas, the calibration adjustment can
begin by pushing and holding the Calibration toggle switch in the direction of the calibration point
to be adjusted (up for high calibration adjustment, down for low calibration adjustment).

Figure 39 – Gas calibration adjustment

With the toggle switch held, the calibration value entry panel will be shown (Figure 39-1) with the
value coloured blue. Rotating the adjustment knob allows the calibration value to be increased or
decreased. The adjustment knob should be rotated until the known concentration of the calibration
gas is displayed.

NOTE: THE CALIBRATION VALUE THAT CAN BE ENTERED IS LIMITED TO ZERO AS

A MINIMUM VALUE AND THE MAXIMUM RANGE OF THE SENSOR PLUS 10%
FOR THE MAXIMUM CALIBRATION VALUE. FOR CERTAIN SENSORS (E.G.
CARBON DIOXIDE) THE LOW CALIBRATION MUST BE PERFORMED WITH
ZERO CONCENTRATION OF THE TARGET GAS. IN THESE CASES THE
CALIBRATION ADJUSTMENT VALUE CANNOT BE CHANGED BY ROTATING
THE ADJUSTMENT KNOB AND THE DISPLAY WILL SHOW THE WORD
‘ZERO’.

To begin the calibration adjustment process, press the set button. If the calibration toggle switch
is released at any time before the set button is pressed then the adjustment will be aborted.

Once an adjustment has begun the sensor will take a moment to process the adjustment request
(Figure 39-2) and will decide whether the value supplied is reasonable. See troubleshooting
(Section 7) for possible invalid calibration conditions.

If a calibration adjustment is accepted then a ‘Calibration OK’ message will be shown (Figure 39-
3). Should an adjustment request be rejected then a ‘Calibration failed’ message will be shown
instead (Figure 39-4). Both of these messages can be cleared by pressing the mute button.

After any calibration adjustment request is processed, the sensor may enter a warm-up state for a
few seconds during which time the sensor reading will not be available.

NOTE: THE CALIBRATION ADJUSTMENT WINDOW CAN ALSO BE ACCESSED FROM

THE MAIN MENU. FOR DUAL SENSOR SYSTEMS WITH SENSORS THAT CAN
BE USER CALIBRATED, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO ACCESS THE
CALIBRATION ADJUSTMENT FEATURE.

5.5.2 Dual Display O2 sensor calibration adjustment

Calibration of the dual display O2 variant of SDA’s is different to that of the standard O2 SDA’s as
the toggle switches on the front of the unit are used to set alarms for each of the readings on the
display.

To perform a Dual O2 Display calibration adjustment, first expose the sensor to the appropriate
calibration gas of known concentration. The sensor should be allowed to settle for a period of time
so that the sensor reading can stabilise. This will depend on both the settling time of the sensor
and on the length of pipe-work and the flow rate of gas between the gas source and the sensor.

Once the sensor reading has settled for the applied calibration gas, the calibration adjustment can
begin by pressing the Set button to enter the menu, then rotating the adjustment knob until
Calibrate is highlighted, Press Set again to enter the Calibration menu.

Figure 40 – Entering the dual display calibration menu

Once in the calibration menu, there are two options, sensor 1 (mbar) or sensor 2 (%) depending
on what values the user requires to calibrate in. Highlight the required sensor and press Set, then
select either Low or High calibration (Analox recommend that a Low calibration is performed first).

NOTE: IF WANTING TO MEET ACCURACY REQUIREMENTS OF DNV-OS-E402 THE

SENSOR MUST BE CALIBRATED USING A KNOWN CERTIFIED REFERENCE,
HAVING A THIRD PARTY CALIBRATE THE SENSOR USING THEIR OWN
CERTIFIED EQUIPMENT OR THE SENSOR MUST BE RETURNED TO A KNOWN
CERTIFIED BODY FOR CALIBRATION.
To perform a calibration adjustment, first expose the sensor to a known pressure. The sensor
should be allowed to settle for a period of time so that the sensor reading can stabilise.

Once the sensor reading has settled for the applied pressure, the calibration adjustment can begin
by pushing and holding the Calibration toggle switch in the direction of the calibration point to be
adjusted (up for high calibration adjustment, down for low calibration adjustment).

5.5.4 Calibration adjustment reminders

For situations where regular calibration adjustments are performed, a useful reminder can be
enabled using the SDA software. For instructions on how to enable and configure the calibration
adjust reminder feature see section 6.3.2.

When enabled, the SDA will show a flashing reminder below the sensor reading when a calibration
adjustment is due (Figure 44). The reminder is displayed when the time since the last full high and
low calibration adjustment was performed exceeds the reminder period specified when the feature
is enabled. If the feature is disabled, no reminder will be displayed.

A calibration adjustment reminder will only be cleared once a both a high and low calibration
adjustment have been performed. Both adjustments should be performed with as little time
between as possible. If not performed together, the calibration adjustment reminder will be shown
based on the time of the earlier of the two adjustments.

The brightness of the SDA display can be changed to suit the lighting conditions of its location by
adjusting the backlight intensity. To adjust the backlight level, enter the main menu and select
‘Backlight’. Next select the desired backlight intensity level (10-100%) from the menu.

NOTE: DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY, THE MAXIMUM

INTENSITY OF THE DISPLAY WILL SLIGHTLY DEGRADE OVER THE
LIFESPAN OF THE PRODUCT. FOR NEW SYSTEMS IT IS RECOMMENDED
THAT THE BACKLIGHT IS SET TO AN INITIAL INTENSITY LEVEL OF 60%
OR LESS TO MAXIMISE THE LIFESPAN OF THE DISPLAY.

5.8 Viewing device information

To view a range of information about an SDA including serial number, enabled options and
attached peripherals access the main menu and select the ‘Information’ option. This will display
the device information screen (Figure 47). To close the information screen and return to the main
screen, press the mute button.

Figure 47 - The device information screen (single and dual sensor systems)

5.9 Data-logging

If the data-logging feature is enabled on an SDA then it will maintain a log of system and sensor
data whenever the device is powered up. Data is logged every 10 seconds and includes the system
status, average, minimum and maximum readings for the 10 second period. An SDA operates a 90
day rolling log. Once 90 days worth of data is collected, the oldest day’s data will be deleted so
only the most recent 90 days are recorded.

Data can be downloaded into daily log files in .CSV (comma-separated values) format for easy
import into popular spreadsheet applications. For instructions on downloading data-log files see
section 6.4. An example of a typical data log file is shown below.

Date Time Status Units CO2 Average CO2 Max CO2 Min

5.10 Changing network parameters

From the main menu select the Network menu, then the Parameters sub menu, here the user can
change the IP address of the monitor so that they can connect to their own network.

Using the encoder to change the values in each parameter, use the SET button to toggle through
each parameter and edit, use the SET button to move through until Save is reached, use the
encoder to change to Yes and then press the Mute button to confirm. The system will then reboot
with the new IP address.

5.11 Serial data output

Under normal operation, without an output module attached to the device (see section 5.12), an
SDA will continuously output information about the current system status and sensor reading via
the data port. The data is output via an RS485 serial stream in a readable ASCII format. For
details of how to make a correct physical connection to the data port in order to collect the output
data see section 4.3. The set-up parameters for an external system to correctly receive the output
data are as follows.

BAUD rate: 9600

Date bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None

The format of the data output stream is a comma-delimited ASCII character string terminated by a
carriage return character (0Dh) and a line feed character (0Ah). A terminated character string is
output once per second. This stream is designed to be read and displayed by a terminal program,
written to a text file for data-logging or captured by a third party software to be interpreted and
used in external applications. The comma delimited nature of the string allows it to be easily
logged to a .CSV file for simple import into popular spreadsheet applications.

The content of each terminated string consists of the following:

• Date (YYYY-MM-DD)
• Time (HH:MM:SS)
• System status (OK or Fault)
• The units type of the sensor data to follow (%, ppm, etc.)
• The average sensor reading
• The minimum sensor reading since the last data string
• The maximum sensor reading since the last data string
• The instrument serial number

The following shows two examples of typical data strings, the number at the end of the string is
the instrument serial number. The second shows a fault condition in which case the sensor
readings are not shown.

5.12 Output module

To expand a single sensor SDA to provide relays and an analogue output, an optional Analox
output module can be connected to the system.

NOTE: THE OUTPUT MODULE CAN ONLY PROVIDE ANALOGUE AND RELAY OUTPUT
FOR ONE SENSOR. IF ATTACHED TO A DUAL SENSOR UNIT, THE OUTPUT
MODULE WILL PROVIDE OUTPUTS FOR THE FIRST SENSOR ONLY.

5.12.1 Connecting an output module

To connect an output module, the SDA should first be disconnected from the DC power supply. The
output module communication cable should be connected to the Data port on the rear of the SDA
(see section 4.2.4 for instructions on connecting to the Data port).

When power is applied to an SDA with an output module is connected it will automatically
recognise that the module is connected. A few seconds after the main screen is shown on start-up,
the output module will begin to reflect the sensor reading and alarm status. The connection status
of an output module can be viewed on the information screen (see section 5.8).

5.12.2 Relays

An output module provides two relays. Each relay is mapped to one of the SDA alarms. Relay 1 is
mapped to the lower alarm and Relay 2 is mapped to the higher alarm (Figure 48). If an alarm is
not active then its corresponding relay will be in the energised state (connection between Com and
NO is made). If an alarm is triggered then the corresponding relay will switch to the de-energised
state (connection between Com and NC is made).

SDA
User Manual Int. Approved

Figure 48 - Alarm relay mapping

If any system fault is detected then both relays will switch to their de-energised alarm states to
correspond with the fault alarm that is raised for a system fault.

5.12.3 Analogue output

The output module’s analogue output is used to reflect the SDA’s sensor reading. The nominal
range of the output current is 4-20mA (see section 4.3 for connection details). This range
corresponds to the range of the sensor attached. For example, for a 5000ppm ranged carbon
dioxide sensor, 0ppm carbon dioxide measured will correspond to an output of 4mA and 5000ppm
carbon dioxide measured will correspond to an output of 20mA.

If any system fault is detected then the analogue output will output a current beyond the 20mA
upper range of the sensor range (approx. 22mA) to correspond with the fault alarm that is raised
for a system fault.

5.12.4 Communication & power faults

If a faulty or intermittent connection exists between an SDA and an output module whilst the
output module remains powered then the output module will assume a fault and set its relay and
analogue output to their fault states as described above.

If power to an output module is lost, the relays will return to a de-energised alarm state and the
analogue output will output 0mA.

5.13 Power modes

When connected to a DC power supply, and SDA device will start up automatically and remain
powered whilst connected.

5.13.1 Sleep mode

An SDA can be switched into a sleep mode which will allow the device to remain powered but
silent. No alarms will be raised whilst in sleep mode. Also in sleep mode, the display will be
powered down and any data-logging enabled will be paused. The unit and sensors will remain
powered to allow for a quick wake-up from sleep mode. All buttons except for the set button will
be disabled whilst in sleep mode.

To switch the device into sleep mode, access the main menu (see 5.6) and select “Power...”
followed by “Sleep”.

To wake the device from sleep mode, press the set button. The display will be switched on,
monitoring for alarms will begin again and data-logging will re-commence.

5.13.2 Restarting

To prompt a full reboot of an SDA device, access the main menu (see 5.6) and select “Power...”
followed by the “Restart...” option. This option will ask for confirmation. Selecting yes will force the
system to restart.

5.14 Cell replacement reminder

For SDA sensors which use electrochemical technology, such as the MEC sensor, the
electrochemical cell part of the sensor needs to be periodically replaced as the cell depletes. To aid
with the timely replacement of cells the SDA provides a cell replacement reminder feature. This
feature is only available for sensors which require cell replacement (e.g. oxygen). Sensors which
do not use electrochemical technology (e.g. carbon dioxide) do not use this feature.

The cell replacement reminder feature can be enabled or disabled using the SDA software as
described in section 6.3.2.

If the cell replacement feature is enabled and the sensor is an electrochemical type, the SDA will
show an onscreen warning when the cell is due to be replaced as shown in Figure 49. The cell
replacement reminder is shown once the number of days that have elapsed since the cell was last
replaced exceeds the cell replacement reminder period defined using the SDA software.

Figure 49 - Sensor change reminder

The cell reminder period can be adjusted using the SDA software to suit expected sensor usage.
For example, some oxygen cells are expected to last for 2 years in atmospheric levels of oxygen.
However, oxygen cells will deplete faster if they are exposed to higher levels of oxygen, so if the
sensor is expected to be exposed to higher levels of oxygen over its service then the reminder
period can be shortened in order to serve as a reminder that the cell is expected to age more
quickly.

NOTE: THE CELL REPLACEMENT FEATURE IS INTENDED TO BE USED ONLY AS A

GUIDE AND CANNOT ACCURATELY DETERMINE THE LIFESPAN OF A CELL.
IF A SENSOR BECOMES DIFFICULT TO CALIBRATE AFTER A PERIOD OF
TIME IN SERVICE THEN IT SHOULD BE REPLACED REGARDLESS OF THE
REMINDER STATUS.

5.14.1 Replacing a cell and resetting the reminder

Once an electrochemical cell has been replaced (see section 8.1), the cell replacement reminder
will continue to be shown and needs to be manually reset. For SDAs which use electrochemical
sensors, this warning can be reset from the SDA menu. To do this open the main menu and select
‘Replace cell...’. Select the sensor to reset and confirm the action. Upon confirmation, this will
store the current date as the date on which the cell was last replaced.

7 Troubleshooting

7.1 Fault conditions

An instrument constantly monitors itself for fault conditions. Any fault conditions that are identified
will trigger a fault alarm. When a fault alarm is raised, the horn will sound immediately. Faults will
be indicated on the display by flashing the system status indicator in yellow as shown in Figure 56.
Fault alarms can be muted in the same way as standard alarms by pressing the mute button.
When pressed, the horn will deactivate and the system status indicator will be shown as solid
yellow to indicate that the fault has been acknowledged.

All fault alarms are latching so if an intermittent fault is identified and subsequently cleared, the
alarm will continue to be displayed and sounded until the mute button is pressed to acknowledge
the fault.

Information about the fault condition identified is displayed below the sensor reading as shown in
Figure 56 in which a sensor communication fault is shown. In cases where a fault prevents a valid
reading from being obtained from a sensor then the reading will not be shown on the display and
will instead be replaced by ‘---‘.

Figure 56 - A system showing a fault condition

7.2 Fault logging

All instances of fault conditions that are identified will be logged to the instrument’s diagnostics
log. Both the point at which the fault is identified and the point at which the fault is cleared will be
logged. The diagnostics log can be downloaded using the SDA software. To download the log,
connect to the device as described in section 6. Access the ‘Advanced’ tab and click ‘Download
diagnostics log...’. This will give the option to specify a save location for the log file.

8.4 VOC sensor maintenance

For replacement of the full VOC cell (PID) follow section 8.2.1 for the carbon monoxide cell sensor
replacement.

Other maintenance of the VOC sensor can be done by the following methods, clean or replace the
lamp, or replace the electrode stack. Cleaning the lamp should be performed as required, if the
sensitivity of the sensor reduces over time. Replacement of the PID lamp should be performed
after 5000 hours of use.
Replacement of the electrode stack should be performed only if the sensor has been damaged by
contamination.

The lamp and electrode stack are both part of the PID component of the sensor. The cleaning and
replacement processes are documented in the following instruction.

1) Remove the sensor housing from the MEC and then remove the sensor from the housing
by twisting the PCB on the rear of the sensor, remove the PCB from the sensor.

2) Using the stack removal tool (9300-1021) insert the ends of the tool into the slots on the
sides of the sensor as shown, keeping a finger on top of the stack so as it does not spring
away from the sensor and so that the spring and lamp cannot pop out upon removal.

8.5 Reconfiguring a unit

CAUTION: THE PROCEDURE FOR RECONFIGURING A UNIT SHOULD BE PERFORMED

UNDER THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IT WILL REMOVE ALL CURRENT
SETTINGS FROM A UNIT AND WRITE DEFAULT SETTINGS FOR A NEW
CONFIGURATION TO THE DEVICE. ONLY PERFORM THIS PROCEDURE IF
YOU ARE CERTAIN YOU WISH TO RE-CONFIGURE A DEVICE.

It may occasionally be necessary to change the configuration of a unit to operate with a different
sensor or range, for example, when configuring a spare SDA to be swapped out for another unit.

Re-configuration of a unit is performed by using XML configuration files. You may need to contact
your supplier to be provided with a set of configuration files. Re-configuration is performed using
the SDA software. In order for the configuration files to be available to the SDA software they
should be placed in a folder named ‘config’ within the folder from which the SDA software runs.
This will usually be at the location ‘C:\Program Files\Analox\SDA Setup\config’ but may vary
depending on the location chosen on installation of the software. The SDA software should be
closed and re-opened once the configuration files are correctly located.

Once the configuration files are available to the software, connect a device and access the
‘Advanced’ tab (Figure 62). From the drop down menu under ‘Device configuration’ select the
appropriate configuration file and click ‘Configure…’. A warning will be shown explaining the
implications of re-configuring a device. Click OK to start the re-configuration.

Figure 62 - Advanced options

The new configuration shall be uploaded to the device and a sound will be played by the SDA when
the upload is complete.

NOTE: FOLLOWING A RE-CONFIGURATION, THE DEVICE SHOULD BE POWERED

DOWN AND RE-POWERED BEFORE USE.
