AMI was formed by a group of analyzer professionals with over forty years of experience between them. The company is dedicated to providing the very best and most cost effective solutions to the oxygen analysis problem with a range of analyzers.
Using the computer program supplied if desired by AMI, the data may be downloaded into a “CSV” file for manipulation in Excel™ or similar spreadsheet programs, and the logging can be restarted at the beginning again. The internal time and clock may also be set, as well as a label to distinguish data from this analyzer from others.
Pump: The model 111B is equipped with a long-life pump, capable of drawing a sample through the sensor from an ambient pressure source. It draws a lot of current, and so it is only suitable for spot checking. The unit will switch off the pump after a few minutes of operation.
Although the unit is RFI protected, do not to mount it close to sources of electrical interference such as large transformers, motor start contactors, relays etc. Also avoid subjecting it to significant vibration. Installation and Operation 4 AMI Analyzer Manual...
The exhaust should be left open. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE EXHAUST FITTING! It is a flame arrestor, and removing it will turn the analyzer into a guaranteed ignition source. Installation and Operation 5 AMI Analyzer Manual...
Interconnections: Digital communications: The Model 111B is equipped with a special USB connector on the back of its case. This may be used to access data that has been logged by the built-in data logger. Use a cable and software supplied by AMI to configure and download data.
The Span button allows you to calibrate the unit. See the Calibration section below. It is possible to disable this using the AMI communication program. The pump button turns on (or off) the pump. Since the pump uses a lot of current, the unit will automatically turn it back off after five minutes.
Note: It is possible to disable the calibration function with the USB interface. If it is not apparently possible to change the calibration, you must reset the security condition to “All front panel adjustments allowed” using the AMI user interface. Perform the calibration as above, and then change it back to “No front panel adjustments allowed” when you are done.
“SCV” file that you can open in Excel. There are many fields in the PC display that are not relevant to the operation of the 111B, and these will be grayed out.
Maintenance and troubleshooting Maintenance: The AMI oxygen analyzer is virtually maintenance free other than for periodic calibration. Sensor Replacement: The sensor should last for many years. If the sensor expires you will have to return the analyzer back to the factory.
(The unit won’t respond to the up and down buttons during span) Use the AMI communication program to set the security to either “Span only” or “No security”. Once you have spanned it, set the security back again so people do not adjust it in error.

* Note that accuracy is determined by the accuracy of the gas calibration standard used for calibration. Any uncertainty in the oxygen content of the standard used will add to the analyzer specification. Specifications and Disclaimer 13 AMI Analyzer Manual...
The AMI analyzer is not designed as a primary safety device, that is to say it is not to be used as the primary means of assuring personnel safety. In particular it is not designed to act as a medical instrument, monitoring breathing air for correct oxygen concentration, and should not be used as such when it is the only safety device on the gas system.
