Yellow line CAUTION ・ When using the OX-07 with extension cable, do not throw sensor part into detection point, but lower down slowly. Avoid impact to the sensor. Sensor may be damaged. ・ When intending to measure the oxygen content in manhole, inside device, etc by OX-07 with extension cable, adjust the temperature of the sensor to be the same temperature as measuring point by leaving it there about 10 minutes.
9. DEFINITION OF TERMS vol% Gas concentration represented by the unit as a percentage of the total volume. Calibration By using calibration gas, adjust the displayed gas concentration to match the calibration gas concentration. PEAK This is a peak (highest or lowest) gas reading since the last time the unit was turned on. Warning/Alarm level set point Preset level to actuate an alarm when gas concentration reaches that point.
10. DETECTION PRINCIPLE By connecting a noble metal and lead immersed in an electrolyte with a lead wire, an electrochemical cell (galvanic cell) is made. A membrane covers the cell and allows oxygen to diffuse into the electrolyte where reduction on the metal electrode and oxidation on the lead electrode occur respectively as shown in the following chemical equation ;...
