The introduction of explosive gas compounds, high concentrations of halogens or sulphuric gases (e.g. SO ) into the SGM7.2.4 is not permitted. The contact of the SGM7.2.4 with siliconic or phosphoric compounds is not permitted either. Functions The SGM7.2.4 •...
3 Safety regulations 3 Safety regulations The following regulations for industrial safety provide basic information about potential danger during the operation of the buffer gas monitor SGM7.2.4. Therefore, they must be observed and strictly followed by the responsible staff. • A failure-free and functional operating of the SGM can only be guaranteed with knowledge of this manual.
O2, meas.gas in the measuring gas in Pa. The sensor of the SGM7.2.4 is based on the conductivity of oxide ions in a special ceramic substance (zirconium dioxide) with stabilizing additions. The conductivity of these oxide ions increases exponentially with the temperature and reaches a sufficiently high temperature above 600°C.
Oxygen Monitor SGM7.2.4/7.2.6 4 Functional description Based on the assumption that the total pressures of the gases are almost Equation for oxygen the same at both electrodes (in this case the volume concentrations may concentr. be used in the calculation instead of the partial pressures) and replacing the parameters by numbers in equation (I) the following equation applies: (-46,42 ·...
• The measuring gas must be extracted where a formation of layers can be avoided. • The tube from the measuring point to the SGM7.2.4 must be as short as possible in order to avoid a change in the chemical balance in the tube.

6 Composition of the oxygen monitor SGM7.2.4 General composition 6.1.1 General overview The SGM7.2.4 is a portable device. The general composition is shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 1: General composition of the SGM7.2.4 The measuring gas gets into the sensor by means of little overpressure at the inlet or the optional pump ingests the measuring gas.
A thermocouple (2/5) inside the measuring cell determines the actual electrode temperature. A regulator ensures a constant temperature. The heated measuring cell produces thermal energy. Therefore, the SGM7.2.4 must not be covered.

Oxygen Monitor SGM7.2.4/7.2.6 6 Composition Usage and connection elements 6.2.1 Current supply The SGM7.2.4 is firmly connected to the current supply by a connecting cable. 6.2.2 Front The indicators and control elements are located on the front of the SGM7.2.4. Depending on the size, the measuring values are displayed either in vol% or in vol-ppm.
The gas inlet is connected with the carbon filter. The inlet of the filter is located on the front side. The line cord is permanently fixed with the device. It cannot be connected. Fig. 5: Rear of the SGM7.2.4...
A waiting time of about 2 hours before switching-on must be considered. 1. Install the SGM7.2.4 in the favored place (see chapter 7.1). 2. Connect point of measurement and places of gas inlet and outlet of the SGM7.2.4. Pay attention to leak-tightness.
