The pressure sensor assembly consists of a board containing an
instrumentation amplifier and a pressure transducer with a gas input fitting.
The pressure transducer output is produced by measuring the pressure
difference between the sample gas pressure and ambient air pressure.
The ozonator lamp power supply board includes the circuits that generate
high voltage AC to control the lamp heater. A transformer outputting high
voltage at approximately 15 kHz drives the lamp. A resistor in series with
the output limits the lamp current. The voltage output is adjustable under
software control for lamp intensity control. The ozonator lamp can be
switched on and off under software control.
The lamp is heated to a specific temperature to ensure reliable operation.
The oscillator circuit that drives the high voltage output is inhibited until
this operating temperature is reached. A power transistor is used to heat the
lamp housing. Thermistors sense the housing temperature for heater control
and for status information.
