Please Read Before Installation The following will damage the Air Check Oxygen monitor. 1. The Air Check O monitor requires 24 VDC regulated power. Please Do Not connect the monitor to any voltage that exceeds ANY AC Voltage. 24 Volts DC, or 2.
Each system consists of a long-life zirconium oxide sensor cell and three-wire transmitter. The Air Check O monitor may be used as a stand-alone gas detector, linked to optional PureAire single and multipoint controllers, or connected to your own centralized control and surveillance system. This manual covers the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Air Check O...
PureAire Monitoring Systems, Inc. 1.1.3 Calibration The Air Check O monitor incorporates a stable zirconium oxide sensor that rarely requires calibration. Changing barometric pressure changes or changes in temperature and humidity do not affect the zirconium oxide oxygen cell. The earth is a wonderful source of calibrated oxygen at 20.9%, therefore under ambient conditions visual verification of the Air Check O...
