XZR400 Series User’s Manual Warnings The following general warnings listed below are applicable to this instrument. They are repeated in the text in the appropriate locations. Where this hazard warning symbol appears in the following sections, it is used to indicate areas where potentially hazardous operations need to be carried out.
INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The XZR400 Series Trace Oxygen Analyzer is designed to measure oxygen as an inpurity in nitrogen, carbon dioxide, argon, helium or other inert gases. Analysis is both quick and stable, utilizing our metallic sealed reference sensor (MSRS), with no requirement for reference air.
XZR400 Series User’s Manual INTRODUCTION The XZR400 Series includes the following front panel mounted items: • Liquid crystal touchscreen display • Flow adjustment valve • Bypass control valve Operating Principle The analyzer operates on the zirconium oxide (zirconia) principle. A sample of the gas to be measured is connected to the inlet port of the analyzer. The sample gas fl...
XZR400 Series User’s Manual INTRODUCTION The MSRS Technology The zirconium oxide sensors are often referred to as the ‘high temperature’ electrochemical sensors. The principle is based on the Nernst principle [W. H. Nernst (1864-1941)]. Zirconium oxide sensors use a solid state electrolyte and are stabilized with yttrium oxide.
XZR400 Series User’s Manual INTRODUCTION Figure 2 MSRS Sensor Conventional zirconium oxide sensors require an air reference on one side of the sensor with the sample on the other. This provides a known constant on one side. The Michell MSRS does not require an air reference but instead utilizes a metal, and its oxide, sealed in the zirconium sheath.
XZR400 Series User’s Manual INTRODUCTION Figure 5 shows the MSRS and its S thermocouple installed in a 4-hole aluminum tube. This confi guration has the part number XZR400-SMP. Any reference to the MSRS sensor refers to this complete assembly which is considered solid state and non user-serviceable.
Carefully read the following guidelines before installing the analyzer. If you are not sure about the installation conditions and other important factors please contact a Michell Instruments’ Application Engineer or a Michell Instruments’ representative prior to the installation. The following list will help you to identify the recommended preparation steps: •...
