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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
