Description
Replacement Oxygen Sensor is the new sensing element required to restore the accuracy and operational integrity of any fixed or portable gas detector used for monitoring ambient oxygen levels. Oxygen monitoring is essential because both a deficiency (risk of asphyxiation) and an excess (risk of fire/explosion) of pose immediate life-threatening hazards.
Features:
- Electrochemical Cell Technology: Most sensors operate using an electrochemical fuel cell principle. The cell consumes itself in a chemical reaction over time, directly correlating to its exposure to oxygen. As the cell ages (typically 2 to 5 years), its signal output weakens and its response time increases, leading to inaccuracies.
- Deficiency Alarm: Crucial for setting alarms when drops below (the OSHA limit for safe entry into confined spaces)
- Enrichment Alarm: Essential for setting alarms when rises above vol indicating a heightened fire/explosion risk.
- Proactive Replacement Schedule: Sensors are typically replaced based on manufacturer recommendations, usually every two years, or when routine calibration fails. Unlike some other sensors, they are constantly active, meaning their lifespan begins immediately upon manufacturing.
