INTRODUCTION Santacary XAR-O is a precise gas detector for monitoring Oxygen (O ) in the ambient air and in the work place. It has been designed to protect the safety of workers in dangerous work places. The XAR-O will continuously display the ambient concentration of oxygen and activate its audible alarms whenever the preset set points are exceeded.
Four AA Alkaline Batteries THEORY OF OPERATION Santacary XAR-O O Gas Detector uses two-electrode electrochemical technology, operating by the diffusion principle, for determining the concentration of oxygen in air samples. In diffusion mode, the atmosphere reaches the air sampling ports on beside and top of the detector.
OPERATION 1. Power Button 1.1 Turn On/Turn Off Detector 1) When the detector is turned off, press Power button to turn on the unit. 2) When the detector is turned on, press Power button for 2 seconds to turn off the unit.

When the unit is first turned on, it performs 60 seconds countdown for detector initial warm up, then enters normal display with current O concentration (% vol.), temperature (°C or °F), and humidity (%RH) readings displayed. If the detector is not used for a long time, the warm up time of oxygen sensor needs more than 5 minutes.

2.4 Ambient Air Calibration (20.9%) for O This detector can implement ambient air calibration (20.9%) when needed (such as annually). By pressing the Function button for 3 seconds, the detector enters into Calibration Menu. In this Menu, there are two items by pressing the Function button shortly to loop switching: “Fresh Air Calibration 20.9% O2”and “Exit”...

When LCD backlight is off, press any button to turn on the backlight. ALARM Low Alarm and High Alarm XAR-O has two alarm set points: Warning (O : 23.5%, high alarm) and Danger (O : 19.5%, low alarm). The danger alarm is sounded for oxygen deficiency and the warning alarm is sounded for oxygen enrichment.
XAR-O is equipped with audio alarms to alert you when the ambient gas concentration exceeds one of the two alarm set points. When oxygen value is less than the defined low alarm set point (Danger alarm at 19.5%), the audio alarm will sound at 3 beeps/sec. When oxygen value exceeds the defined high alarm set point (Warning alarm at 23.5%), the audio alarm will sound at 2 beeps/sec.
