INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting SSi P/N 13039 for your batch furnace, probe maintenance application.
You lubricate critical machine parts on a regular basis if you want them to last. Your zirconia carbon sensor also requires regular maintenance. Buildup of carbon in the space between the zirconia sensing element and the sheath, as well as at the sensing point, will eventually adversely affect the proper operation of the probe. If carbon (soot) is allowed to accumulate to the extent that atmosphere cannot penetrate to the sensing surface, control is impossible. The 13039 is designed to prevent that from happening by accepting signals from the AC20 controller to conduct a procedure to remove the carbon. It is intended for use with batch and continuous furnaces. (See P/N 13036 for generators.)
