PRODUCT MAINTENANCE

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
Otis recommends that our equipment be calibrated a MINIMUM of every 90 days, and STRONGLY advise that
calibration be performed every 30 days. Without knowing the specific application, sensor assembly location, gas
exposure and other factors, the company recommends monthly calibrations – assuming no damage or potential
damage has occurred to the sensor and that there has not been a power outage to the sensor assembly. If damage
has occurred or the power supplied to the sensor has changed, a calibration should be completed immediately.
Scheduled maintenance should include the null and calibration of the sensor and a relay test. Consult the Sensor
Calibration and Relay Test sections of this manual for further information and instructions on how to perform these
procedures.
The sensor head should be kept free of airborne particles, dirt, mud, spider webs, bugs and insects, and/or any other
debris that could potentially cover or coat the sensor. Keeping the sensor head clear of foreign articles will allow for
proper operation of the device. A brief inspection during scheduled maintenance should suffice, but dependent upon
the location and the environment in which the unit is installed, more frequent inspections may be warranted.
The OI-6000 may be adversely affected by the exposure to certain airborne substances. Loss of sensitivity or
corrosion may be gradual, if such materials are present in sufficient concentrations. The performance of the device
may be impaired during operation in the presence of substances that can cause corrosion on gold plating. Continuous
and high concentrations of corrosive gases may also have a detrimental long-term effect on the product’s service
life. The presence of such substances in an area does not preclude the use of this device, but the likelihood of the
shortened lifetime of the sensor element, as a result, should be noted. Use of the OI-6000 in these environments
may require more frequently scheduled maintenance to ensure safe and reliable system performance.
