    OPERATOR MANUAL Special Message from Advanced Micro Instruments (AMI): Thank you for purchasing this MODEL 221R for oxygen deficiency monitoring. This permanent mount analyzer is designed to alert you and your employees to unsafe oxygen levels within an enclosed area. The audible alarm and relay outputs activate when an oxygen-depleted or oxygen-rich environment is detected.

  • Page 4: Method Of Measurement

    METHOD OF MEASUREMENT: ZIRCONIUM OXIDE SENSORS The MODEL 221R utilizes zirconium oxide sensors, which provides reliable, accurate percent oxygen measurements for a general purpose environment. •These sensors have up to a 10-year product life. This eliminates the need to replace sensors every 6 months and the need to perform monthly calibrations, which drastically lowers maintenance costs.
  • Page 5: Safety, Warnings & Cautions

    WARNING You must follow all installation requirements and environmental conditions to avoid protection impairment. Do not mount the MODEL 221R analyzer in a hazardous area, where explosive gases may be present. The zirconium oxide sensor will ignite flammable gas mixtures.
  • Page 6: Analyzer Installation

    The MODEL 221R is designed for operation between 41°F to 104°F. CAUTION: The MODEL 221R is designed for monitoring of atmospheric air. Use of the unit to monitor process gas will shorten the life of the zirconium oxide sensor and void the warranty.
  • Page 7 OPTION 1: INSTALLATION WITH THE POWER CORD Place the Oxygen Deficiency Monitor at a desired location. It is recommended to position the unit at eye-level. Make sure the location is no more than 6 ft from an electrical outlet if the unit has the standard 6-ft cord.
  • Page 8 Install a cable gland in the I/O Access for Power. The cable gland should be rated to NEMA 4X (IP65) at the minimum or NEMA 6 (IP68), which is recommended. A cable gland can be acquired from AMI as a separate...
  • Page 9 Feed cable through the cable gland, which fits Cord OD of 0.24" to 0.47". Remove the 3-terminal green connector from the terminal strip for easier wiring. Make the following electrical connections to the proper positions on the Phoenix connector. – Connect the fused line side of a 90 —240 VAC power source to the H terminal –...
  • Page 10 Install a cable gland to the I/O Access for Communication. The cable gland should be rated to NEMA 4X (IP65) at the minimum or NEMA 6 (IP68), which is recommended. A cable gland can be acquired from AMI as a separate purchase (Part # 1CON02).
  • Page 11 Note: The RS485 cable, which has a length of ~ 6 ft (1.8 m), must be purchased separately from AMI (Part # 3DON01). To complete wiring for another connection, repeat Steps 12 & 13 and select a different connection to install the...

  • Page 15 The MODEL 221R has a battery back-up. If the AC power fails, the internal batteries will keep the unit operational for about 1 hour. During this time, the LED backlight on the LCD panel will flash, and the status LED will turn red and flash.
  • Page 16: Analyzer Calibration

    Verify that the Oxygen Deficiency Monitor is reading 20.9%. If not, press the SPAN button and, within 3 seconds, use the UP or DOWN arrow buttons to adjust the LCD reading to 20.9%. Note: Unlike AMI's other Analyzers, the display on this unit WILL NOT blink when the SPAN button is pressed.

  • Page 18 'Block & Bleed' CALIBRATION STEPS Connect the Calibration Adapter to the MODEL 221R. Open the valve of the Span Gas Tank and adjust the regulator pressure to approximately 20 psig. Allow a brief moment for the measurment reading to stabilize.
  • Page 19 The SPAN FACTOR of a new oxygen sensor is in the range of 400 to 600. After each calibration, the SPAN FACTOR will increase slightly. When the SPAN FACTOR reaches around 980, the sensor is nearing the end of its useful life. Contact AMI to return your unit for sensor replacement.
  • Page 20: Sensor Replacement

    The zirconium oxide sensor has a product life up to10 years. To replace the sensor near the end of its product life, contact AMI to make arrangements. The sensor can only be replaced on the MODEL 221R at our factory.
