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. For high purity percentage levels of oxygen the PO2-1120
sensor should be used. For a hybrid application where the user is monitoring oxygen from 50 ppm up to
21.0% with regular exposure to ambient air, consider the TO2-19 Hybrid Oxygen Sensor. For help selecting
a sensor, contact your local sales rep or the factory.
Prior to installing the sensor, it is important to make sure that the analyzer gas lines are hooked up and
the unit is ready to purge with a zero or process gas. Connect the zero gas line and set your flow between
0.50 - 5.0 SCFH.
To Install the Sensor:
- Remove the four screws and open the front of the analyzer.
- Remove the cell holder cap by unscrewing the stainless steel collar.
- Lift up on the top of the sensor housing and set it to the side.
- Inspect O-ring for cracking, replace if necessary. Always lube your O-rings!
- Remove the sensor from its box. With scissors, open nitrogen purged packaging
and remove the sensor.
- Visually inspect sensor for damage, if damaged notify the factory immediately.
- Remove the shorting tab across the back of the sensor circuit board (red
tape).
- Place the sensor inside the housing with the metal mesh screen facing down and
the circuit board contacts facing up.
- Return upper portion of the sensor housing to the stainless steel bottom. Tighten
collar. Hand tight is acceptable to create an airtight seal.
- Immediately start purge of zero gas.
- If the analyzer has not been calibrated, refer to section 4.1 for more information.
** Sensor should not be exposed to ambient air for more than 2 minutes. Extended periods of
exposure can damage the low end sensitivity and response time.
CAUTION: Prior to installing the oxygen sensor read section 4.1 on per-
forming a span calibration.

Installing the Oxygen Sensor
Gas Connections are made via compression tube fittings directly on the analyzer, inlet / outlet can flow in
either direction. Various tube fittings sizes are available, check with the build sheet for specific gas con
-
nection sizes.
