The analyzer is shipped with all materials needed to install and prepare the system for operation. In some instances, added sample system components are necessary to condition the gas sample before entering the sensor housing. Southland Sensing offers free application consultation, and we encourage you to take advantage of our engineers and their expertise.
The OMD-501D is designed as an indoor unit. For field installations, please refer to the NEMA4X, IP66 en- closure option offered by Southland Sensing Ltd.

The sensor housing has 4 wires and should be hard wired into the back of the OMD-501D electronics module as follows: Sensor (+) red wire = Pin 5 Sensor (-) black wire = Pin 6...
Part 2 Installation Electrical Connections The OMD-501D accepts a 12 - 28VDC Power supply with a 1 amp minimum rating as standard. The maxi- mum power consumption is 8 watts. The unit has an optional 100-240VAC power supply. Verify which power your unit has been configured with.
CAUTION: Prior to installing the oxygen sensor. Read section 4.1 on performing a span calibration. The OMD-501D can accept either a TO2-1x or TO2-2x (CO2 Applications) trace oxygen sensor. For proper selection with your application, please view our online application guide or contact your local sales rep.

Understanding the Controls and their Operation The OMD-501D Trace Oxygen Analyzer is a feature packed unit with an easy to use menu interface. The key attributes within the menu are the ability to select a measurement range, both manually or set it to the auto-range mode.
Part 3 Operation Measurement Range Overview The OMD-501D Trace Oxygen Analyzer allows the user to field select 5 available ranges - custom ranges are available upon request. These ranges can be selected in manual mode meaning they are locked into that range by the user, or they can be set to auto-range so the analyzer will adjust to give you the best full scale resolution.
Part 3 Operation Advanced Alarm Functions The OMD-501D Trace Oxygen Analyzer is equiped with 2 advanced relay contact alarms. These alarms can be configured as normally open or normally closed, has a delay model built-in and can be enabled or disabled when necessary. Using the color display, the alarms are also color coded.
Part 3 Operation Analog Output 4 - 20mA ** Caution: Integral 4 - 20mA converters are internally powered and do not require ex- ternal power. DO NOT supply any voltage across these terminals as the 4 - 20mA output will be damaged. It is also important to assure proper grounding of the external recording device such as a PLC, DCS prior to connecting the 4 - 20mA.
Let the reading stabilize for about 45 seconds and then proceed to the following steps in the OMD-501D menu: SPAN calibration: To Calibrate the indicator, press MENU key Use UP/DOWN keys to bring * besides the option...
Part 4 Maintenance Span Calibration using a Certified Span Gas Calibration involves using a known span gas to match and adjust the oxygen sensor / analyzer combo to a known value. This can be as simple as using ambient air that tends to be a constant 20.9% or a bottle of certified span gas from your local air separation company.
Part 4 Maintenance Procedure for Replacing the Oxygen Sensor Oxygen Sensor Replacement: The characteristics of a precision electrochemical fuel cell are similar to those of a battery. They both provide an output that is nearly constant throughout their usefule life and simply fall of sharply to- wards zero at the end.
