In the thread High Risk CCR Practices - A good list of things that are not worth trying... there is mention of using redundant PO2 monitors

Not using a BOV
Not using redundent PO2 monitoring devices

I have an Oxy2/AirZO2 that works well.

For a redundant monitor, I'd be inclined to use my Oxyguage.
Little problem, it reports Err with a new battery and new oxygen sensor.
It appears that the contacts in the P-port connector are very corroded (received the used unit in this condition).

Question: does anyone know if this can be repaired or serviced? I'm thinking this issue is in the P-port connector, but it doesn't appear it can be disassembled.

Thanks!
Gary

Depending on the level of corrosion you might be able to clean it with contact cleaner. I went to a Radio Shack and found "Deoxit". It came as a kit, with a cleaner and a protective treatment for after cleaning. Might be worth a try.
