  • Page 11 XMO2 provides automatic microprocessor-based atmospheric pressure compensation of the oxygen signal for these applications. • The XMO2’s modular construction means that the unit can be field-calibrated quickly and easily. Also, the plug-in measuring cell can be replaced with a pre-calibrated spare in just minutes.
  • Page 12 September 2007 Theory of Operation The XMO2 measures the concentration of oxygen in a gas mixture by utilizing the unique paramagnetic properties of oxygen. As its magnetic susceptibility is approximately 100 times greater than that of most other common gases, oxygen can be easily distinguished from these gases based on its behavior in a magnetic field.

  • Page 14 In addition to maintaining a constant oxygen bridge temperature, the XMO2 microprocessor compensates for any zero point shift in the oxygen bridge circuit output caused by background gas changes. Finally, the bridge circuit voltage is further adjusted for variations in background gas composition and/or atmospheric pressure by internal, microprocessor-based compensation algorithms.
