Hi, have you ever experience leak with those regulators? I got that exact same regulator. Recently every time I try to unscrew it, it'll got really stiff to turn and then the o ring would pop, gushing out a lot of gas.
Is it happening on every cylinder or just this one? There's two possible failures here: Either the cylinder valve itself is sticking or the regulator O right has become deformed. Most of the time when I see this it's the cylinder valve itself, though occasionally it's the regulator. The regulator is warrantied for a year, so if it's decently new and from us we'll send you a new one, but otherwise it may be time for a new regulator. In your shoes I'd check a different gas cylinder first and if you have the same problem I'd replace the regulator.
Great Video... So, running isobutylene last will make the CO sensor last longer? I thought the manifold sends gas to all sensors regardless of the target gas.
Hey William, No it won't make the CO sensor last longer. When you run the Isobutylene first, if the filter over your CO sensor has absorbed all the Isobutylene it can, the CO sensor will then absorb the gas and add to the values during your calibration. This means that your calibration will be basically worthless. Over time, running the Isobutylene over the sensor fills up the activated charcoal. Once it's full, it allows the Isobutylene to pass on to the sensor. You can check your filter by putting the monitor in normal reading mode and running a bit of Iso over the sensor. If it reacts, your filter is likely done for.
Ideal Calibrations Check the raw data for fluctuation on the CO with Iso...Makes sense. Can you replace the carbon filter? I've seen the little carbon discs in the cabinet but not sure if thats what they are for. I read that those can be used for fresh air calibration, when in an area you are uncertain. Sorry, trying to learn all I can on this equipment.
William LaRoux So there are two filters, one inside the sensor and one above it in the manifold. You can replace the one in the manifold, but once the one in the sensor is gone it's gone. You can occasionally improve it by using some sort of heat on the sensor to cause the carbon filter to release the trapped gas, but it doesn't work great and you risk dehumidifying the sensor if you go too far (which isn't a good thing for the sensor life). If you want to give us a call, I'll be free today a few times and can call you back if I'm in a meeting. 734-956-0539 and reference this conversation and ask for James.
Did a "Fresh Air Calibration", and O2 is low @ 0. Beeps once per second now. What the heck? Did a "Single sensor calibration", chose "NO" at 0% Oxygen, Span gas value is set at 20.9%. Still beeps low O2, 0%. Do I now own a yellow paperweight?
