This video is not expected to break records, however if it can be helpful, then that's a win. - Zábava
you mentioned the Opera 5000 - do you have any info on those units, particularly referring to calibration. the information out there is not clear and this video is the only time i have heard mention that while calibrating you are actually adjusting 'gain' and not the co reading, this makes more sense to what i experienced in the field,
The calibration adjustment method is identical between 5000 and 6000 models. As far as adjustments, you are directly adjusting the gain, and subsequently the PPM reading.
The real key is to complete your calibration adjustments within the time on delay (factory set to 30s), this makes your calibrations repeatable and increases the integrity of the system.
I don't have much info on Opera 5000, other than it's almost identical to Opera 6000. Opera changed to 6000 ~2015, and Belimo (Swiss) bought Opera (Canadian) in May 2021, to my knowledge, the only difference post-acquisition are the labels and serial number structure.
@@NSUGS thank you so much for your fast response, when the video was a year old I wasn't sure if you would ever look at it lol. So I had talked to Belimo and the tech there was telling me that when you calibrate the sensor it should be the top number that changes and the bottom number is like a 'life meter' and if it goes below 200 you have to replace the sensor. perhaps they should watch your video. I have at least 6 of these 5000's to calibrate the first one I tried gave me this .
applied zero gas and display was 0 , apply span gas of 100 ppm CO and display was 100. t this point bottom number was something like 60 so i started to lower it ( thinking it was like a gain) and got it to 23 before the "100 ppm" on the display changed then brought it back to 100 and added a few points to the gain for cushion. when i tried the NO2 part of the sensor my span gas is 5ppm and the display climbed to 10ppm gain was displaying in the 300's i lowered it to about 20 then the display switched from 10 to 0 with no gradient.
my thoughts are CO sensor OK and now reading correct and the NO2 senor is due for replacement. would you agree?
The tech you spoke to, if he was from NB, he's fantastic. A1 guy in my books.
Your recollection appears to be accurate. Frankly, anything on the internet should be taken with a grain of salt. I mention this because I am no longer at the company or even feild of work. Trust tech support more than someone making videos online for fun. I was a factory trained Opera tech, but as you mentioned, it's been a year and some since making the video and almost as long since I worked in that profession.
As far as quick replies, I am currently under 200 subscribers, it's kinda quiet a lot of the time lol. I'm glad I could be of help and a source of commentary.
Very interesting, although i had absolutely no clue what an opera 6000 is. Also, what's that sound drenched in Reverb, the ghost of the screaming cat?
Opera was bought by Belimo, a Canuck turned Swiss!
QEL and Armstrong are both similar manufacturers, also from Canada. Ottawa, specifically.
