Chapter 1. Features and Capabilities
1.1 Introduction
The oxy.IQ Panametrics Oxygen Transmitter (see Figure 1 below) is a highly reliable and cost-effective two-wire,
loop-powered transmitter with a linearized 4 to 20 mA output. It measures oxygen content in ten ppm ranges
(10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000 and 10000 ppm) and eight percentage ranges (1, 2, 5, 10, 21, 25, 50 and 100%).
All ranges are user-selectable. This compact transmitter uses proven sensor technology to accurately measure O
2
in
a variety of gases, even in hazardous (classified) locations.

1.2 Hazardous Location Certifications
When equipped with an optional Zener barrier or galvanic isolator, the oxy.IQ can be mounted in a hazardous
(classified) location. The oxy.IQ with intrinsically safe option is certified to USA, Canadian, ATEX, and international
IECEx IS requirements. The standard oxy.IQ is certified to USA, Canadian, EU ATEX and International IECEx div2/Zone 2
non-incendive requirements.
