TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS
TSB-2008002
Date:
March 3, 2008
Application: All oxygen sensor and analyzer types, all
ranges of operation
Summary: Storage of Delta F Oxygen
Sensor recommendation
Details: If the analyzer/sensor will not be placed
into active service for a period of 30 days or longer, add
electrolyte to the
sensor and carefully store the analyzer/sensor with the electrolyte
installed. Clearly label the sensor and analyzer, if applicable,
warning electrolyte is in the sensor and it should be handled very
carefully.

TSB-2008001
Date: February 1, 2008
Application: All oxygen sensor and analyzer types, all ranges of operation
Effective: Immediately
Summary: New Oxygen Sensor Startup Procedure
Description of Change:
Old Instruction: At the time of initial startup of all Delta F oxygen sensors,
the electrolyte should be poured into the sensor
and the gas and power can be applied immediately.
New Instruction: At the time of initial startup of all Delta
F oxygen sensors, the electrolyte should be poured into the sensor
and allowed to sit for 60 minutes before gas and
voltage are applied.

TSB-2007905
Date: September 5,
2007
Application: All DF 700 Series
Analyzers
Effective:
Immediately
Summary: UTMA Firmware vX.0.9 Release – Summary of changes since vX.0.8.
Software Changes
1.
E
Sensor Support:
Reference to Replenishment Solution added to all menu items and reports. No
changes made that affect PPB reading.
NOTE: These
changes only affect DF-760 systems. But Delta F highly recommends that sites
with multiple 700 series instruments be upgraded to the same firmware revision
to insure optimum analyzer performance and factory support.
TSB-2007601
Date: June 18,
2007
Application: All DF 700 Series
Analyzers
Effective:
Immediately
Summary: UTMA Firmware vX.0.8 Release – Summary of changes since vX.0.7.
Software Changes
![]()
1.
USB
Flash Drive Support:
This software can be configured to direct all data downloads and uploads to
either the floppy drive (Drive A:) to the USB Flash Drive (Removable Drive D:)
and is required for all systems equipped with an USB port.
These changes only affect
systems equipped with USB ports.
2.
Improved System
Watchdog:
Low-level system errors reported as Error 222 no longer trigger a system reboot.
Instead a system reset is activated at the application level resulting in
quicker system recovery and data verification to eliminate “bogus” moisture
data.
This change improves the
reliability of the analyzer and eliminates false readings that can result from a
complete system reboot.
3.
Delta F highly recommends upgrading to this firmware
version.

TSB-20061201
Date: December 18,
2006
Application: All DF 700 Series
Analyzers
Effective:
Immediately
Summary: UTMA Firmware vX.0.8 Release – Summary of changes since vX.0.7.
Software Changes
1.
Peak
Lock Enhancement:
The peak lock algorithm has been improved to eliminate over-corrections to the
laser control current to maintain peak centering. These changes are focused on
improving system reliability and preventing false peak lock errors.
The customer will notice no
changes in the operation of the analyzer and fewer 102 errors.
2.
Improved Diagnostic Data
Download: The diagnostic download now
creates a single compressed file to include all data files. The diagnostic
information has been enhanced and now contains data for 7 days from the date of
the requested download (instead of 2 days) and also a critical parameter
trending file (new feature). The trend file is automatically created during the
upgrade and update weekly. The diagnostic download now creates a single
compressed file to facilitate data transfer.
This feature was added to
improved customer support efficiency by providing critical historic data for the
instrument as well as reduces the need for the customer to download additional
data files. This enhancement does not affect the system operation and is
transparent to the user.
3.
Service
Enhancement:
Several features added to improve serviceability. For example, a new menu item
was added to Service Menu to reset the laser temperature to the factory setting
or adjust it to a new setting. These features require the user to contact
Customer Service.
This enhancement does not
affect the system operation and is meant to be a Service Only
item.
4.
Oxygen Sensor Diagnostic
Menu: The
Polarization Voltage item was removed for the menu since the output was not
precise enough to help diagnose a problem with the oxygen sensor.
This menu now displays the
Electrolyte, Temp and Flow only. This change does not impact system operation
and is for diagnostics only.
5.
Fan
Alarm Update:
The Fan Alarm routine was changed to eliminate a condition that would indicate a
Fan Alarm Status when the fans were operating properly.
This enhancement is
recommended to eliminate a possible nuisance false alarm status.
