Designed for the measure of oxygen in air and suitable for the use in plants using nitrogen, liquid or gas, and other gases (non incendive) that may cause oxygen depletion in ambient air. In these cases the measure of the oxygen concentration in ambient air is a safety requirement for the health of the operators. This analyser is composed of a probe, an electronic unit and a connecting cable.
The probe includes a 2 electrodes galvanic cell, with good sensitivity and fast response time.
The probe is made of PVDF and is very sturdy; the cable is sealed into the probe and cable outlet is from watertight cable gland; the special reinforced cable-to-probe connection assures great protection against all possible mechanical stresses due to positioning of the probe operated using the cable. For this purpose the polyurethane cable, length 6 meters, is internally Kevlar reinforced.
The portable, microprocessor based, electronic unit is very sturdy and handy, has a wide, good visibility, OLED display and a watertight membrane keypad. The instrument receives the O2 and temperature signal from the probe, operates the temperature compensation of the measure and displays O2 value and air temperature.
Power supply is from rechargeable battery, 8,4 V, 170 mA/h (average autonomy is 1h 15min with lit display). The instrument accepts a 12 VDC auxiliary power supply (rear connector) that is also used to charge the battery.
The analyser is supplied c/w a properly dimensioned carrying case with waist belt including fixing strips for the probe and for the cable. This system leaves the operator hands free while he moves to reach the measuring position.
