Innovate LM-1 WBO2 problem

I got out my WBO2 meter for the first time. When I went thru the calibrate procedure discribed in the quick start guide, the meter got stuck on making one calibration pass afeter another. This meter went about 45 minutes like this. I finally gave up, and turned it off.

It never got to the "Calibration needed".

What is wrong?

Did you check all the connections?
Its a pretty simple box, if its hooked up and it doesnt work, might be defective. Never had any issues with mine.

Thanks for the reply, madmax,,, haven't heard from you in a long time.

As you know its pretty hard to screw up the connections, Yes, I'm sure I had it hooked up right. I will try it again tomorrow.

BTW: the guide does not say to remove the plastic cover on the O2, but I would guess that I should remove it, otherwise it might melt.

Yes, that gets removed. Maybe thats the issue.

Try contacting them, I called them once and they are pretty responsive. If anything, I used to work about 100' from their office so... I can pay them a visit if need be

Just to be clear, I did remove the plastic tip on the O2 sensor before I got started and made sure that I never touched the tip of the O2 sensor.

I will call them or email them tomorrow, but being Saturday, I wouldn't expect an answer until Monday at best.

Dumb one here, but:

Are you sure you had 12v+ or more getting to it when you attempted to calibrate it?

Mine has always worked great for me, but almost 100% of the time, low voltage would kick me in the junk when I had an issue.
