This section summarizes the precautions applicable to the OMD-525X Oxygen Analyzer. Additional pre- cautions specific to this analyzer are contained in the following sections of the manual. To operate the analyzer safely and to obtain the best performance, follow the basic guidelines outlines in this owner’s manual.
Introduction Location Installation Considerations The Southland Sensing OMD-525X Oxygen Analyzer is designed to be wall mounted in a general purpose area and uses a NEMA4X / IP66 Enclosure. When installed outdoors in cold areas an optional heater is recommended as well. Consider also giving the analyzer a sun shield if it is going to be mounted in the direct sunlight.
OMD-525X Oxygen Analyzer Installation Receiving Your New Oxygen Analyzer As soon as you receive your new oxygen analyzer carefully unpack the unit and accessories and inspect the interior and exterior of the analyzer for damage, and also verify the oxygen sensor is present.
Installation Mounting the Oxygen Analyzer The OMD-525X is designed for general purpose installations. If mounting in extreme temperature con- sider a secondary heated enclosure. Refer to Part 3: Operation section of this instruction manual for more information on how to operate the controls of this oxygen analyzer.

OMD-525X Oxygen Analyzer Installation 2.3.1 Electrical Connections (VAC) This section is for AC powered analyzers, if your analyzer is DC powered proceed to the next page. Incoming power/signal output connections are made to the green terminal block located on the Back of the unit.
OMD-525X Oxygen Analyzer Installation 2.3.2 Electrical Connections (VDC) This section is for DC powered analyzers, if your analyzer is AC powered go to the previous page. Incoming power/signal output connections are made to the green terminal block located on the Back of the unit.
CAUTION: Prior to installing the oxygen sensor read section 4.1 on per- forming a span calibration. The OMD-525X can accept either a TO2-1x or TO2-2x (for CO2 applications, i.e. natural gas) oxygen sen- sor for trace oxygen analysis. For percent measurement, the OMD-525X can accept either a PO2-160 or PO2-24 (for CO2 applications) oxygen sensor.
Operation Understanding the Controls and their Operation The OMD-525X 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 manually or using the auto-range mode, to calibrate the unit with a known gas, also referred to as a SPAN Calibration or SPAN CAL, and to perform a zero calibration (if necessary, most applications it is not required).
Setting the Date and Time The OMD-525X oxygen analyzer is equipped with an onboard time and date stamp on the main screen. This function is important to keep accurate if you are goin gto be taking advantage of the integral USB data logging.

Other manufactures lock the display as well - the problem is if you over-range and the display is locked you have no idea what your oxygen value is. The OMD-525X solves this issue with a display that auto-ranges and the ability to manually lock the analog outputs.
Signal Output (mA) = 12mA The OMD-525X has a menu feature that allows the analog output to be adjusted to compensate for any internal resistance in the connection. To adjust the 4 - 20mA enter the MENU and select SYSTEM, then select OUTPUT CAL.
OMD-525X Oxygen Analyzer Operation Advanced Integral Alarms The OMD-525X Oxygen Analyzer is equiped with 2 advanced relay contact alarms. These alarms can be configured as normally open or normally closed, have a delay mode built-in, and can be enabled or disabled when necessary. The alarms are rated at 5A @ 230VAC. If you are connecting to solenoid valves or a pump whose current can fluctuate greatly, it is adviseable to use a slave relay to ensure no damage occurs to the electronics.
OMD-525X Oxygen Analyzer Operation Range ID ** Caution: RANGE ID converters are internally powered and do not require external power. DO NOT supply any voltage across these terminals as the output will be damaged. It is also important to assure proper grounding of the external recording device.
OMD-525X Oxygen Analyzer Operation Selecting Sensor Type The OMD-525X Oxygen Analyzer is designed to be field-configurable for use with either trace, per- cent, or hybrid sensors. This allows you to use one analyzer for a variety of applications by simply switching out which sensor is in the housing and changing a setting in the menu, which provides a lot of flexibility in one analyzer.
OMD-525X Oxygen Analyzer Operation Setting a Custom Range The OMD-525X Oxygen Analyzer can have a custom range programmed into it in case you need a specific non-standard range. Once you have set your custom range, you can select it in the Manual Range menu to lock the 4-20 mA output to that range. To set a custom range, perform the following steps:...
OMD-525X Oxygen Analyzer Operation USB Data Logging Note: We have tested 100s of USB flash drives and 99% of them work just fine. Prior to data logging important data, make sure to test your USB thumb drive and verify it is logging. The USB Icon should appear or disappear as the USB stick is installed or removed. If for some reason the electronics don’t recognize the USB stick, consider restarting the analyzer to see if the USB Icon appears.

DOWN TO DECREASE Let the reading stabilize for about 30 - 45 seconds and then proceed to ENTER TO CAL the following steps in the OMD-525X menu: ESC TO EXIT SPAN CALIBRATION: To calibrate the transmitter, press the MENU key then use the UP/DOWN keys to highlight the SPAN CAL option and press the ENTER key.
OMD-525X Oxygen Analyzer Maintenance Span Calibration using a Certified Span Gas Calibration involves using a known span gas to match and adjust the oxygen sensor / ana- lyzer 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. For...
OMD-525X Oxygen Analyzer Maintenance Procedure for Replacing the Oxygen Sensor 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 useful life and simply fall of sharply to- wards zero at the end.
