  • Page 16: Measuring Principles

    Measuring principles The O2 analyzer PMA1000 V2.4 of the GenTwo® series utilizes the paramagnetic dumbbell principle of operation to measure the oxygen concentration. This physical measuring principle is characterized by its accuracy, absolute linearity and low-drift, long-term stable measurement in the range of 0 to 100 vol% oxygen without consuming sensor material or auxiliary materials.
  • Page 17: Fig. 7: Electronic Evaluating System To Measure Oxygen Concentration

    If there is oxygen in the sample gas, it is drawn into the area between the magnetic pole pieces and tries to displace the dumbbell located there from the zero position. This is counteracted by a current through the loop wire and the resulting compensation magnet- ic field.

    11 Calibration 11.1 General Depending on the configuration, the GenTwo® PMA1000 V2.4 is equipped with the Auto- Cal automatic calibration function in addition to the manual calibration function ManuCal. To perform a calibration, you need a test gas with a known gas concentration. During the calibration of a sensor, the mA output which corresponds to the value of the gas concen- tration in the applied test gas is displayed.
  • Page 67: Fig. 71: Setting The Channel-Specific Calibration Parameters

    The measuring range in which the calibration is to be performed is shown in brackets next to the current measuring range. In Fig. 75, the current measuring range is “4” and the mea- suring range of the calibration is “1”. The test gas concentration, here “0.00”, is shown above the green arrow on the right hand- side at the bottom of the screen.
  • Page 68: Fig. 73: First Step Of The Manual Calibration Procedure

    The concentration of the sample gas and the test gas must be within the maximum calibration range. If you change the test gas concentration, you must adjust the Note maximum calibration range to the new test gas concentration. An error message appears if the test gas used does not fit within the maximum calibration range.
