1�2 About the OXYvisor Product - (Overview)
The OXYvisor is Barben Analytical's second generation optical oxygen analyzer.
trace level (ppmv(g) / ppb(aq)) oxygen to percent level oxygen in both the gas and liquid phases (range and
application are dependent on sensor selection) respectively. It's intended for indoor and outdoor use, as a
continuous analytical measuring device, in manufacturing and industrial processes, along with laboratories.
The device has been tested and approved for use in hazardous areas via a third party OSHA approved
NRTL, Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL LLC), with North American (NEC and CEC) and global (ATEX, IEC)
certifications.
The analyzer is either pipe or wall mounted in the proximity of the measuring point. The analyzer has a local
display and can be operated (configuration, calibration, etc.) with the HMI via the "through-the-glass," keypad
or via the OXYvisor software on a PC. The analyzer connects to a fiber optic cable, via a fiber optic SMA
connection located in the easily accessible junction box. The fiber optic cable links the analyzer to the process
sensor, which is mounted directly into the process or within an extractive sample system. The analyzer is fully
compatible with all of the Barben Optical Sensors (BOSx) which are sold separately or included with integrated
Sample Calibration Panels (SCP).
The analyzer uses a quench fluorescence technique with a sensor optically isolated from the process, using
the absorbency as a diagnostic function and analyzing the phase angle in the time domain for measurement of
the analyte, oxygen, in the modulated time domain. This gives the analyzer the ability to measure accurately
and precisely under various and changing ambient and process conditions.
