Description

The highly reliable and cost-effective GE Panametrics O2X1 oxygen transmitter is a two-wire, loop-powered oxygen transmitter with a linearized 4 to 20mA output. The GE Panametrics O2X1 oxygen transmitter measures oxygen in four ppm ranges (10, 100, 1,000 and 10,000 ppm) and three percentage ranges (1, 10, and 25%). All ranges are user-programmable. The compact GE Panametrics O2X1 oxygen transmitter uses proven sensor technology to accurately measure O2 in a variety of gases, even in hazardous environments.

The GE Panametrics O2X1 oxygen transmitter's oxygen sensor is an advanced galvanic fuel cell that provides superior performance, accuracy, stability, and long life. The cell's innovative design eliminates the potential for negative signal output, reduces sources of contamination, and eliminates electrolyte leakage. The cell is unaffected by other background gases or hydrocarbons and some models are compatible with acid gases. Recovery from air at low ppm levels takes just a few minutes. Because the cell is self-contained, little maintenance is required. There is no electrolyte to change or electrodes to clean.

When equipped with the optional Zener barriers, the GE Panametrics O2X1 oxygen transmitter can be mounted in a hazardous (classified) location as defined by the National Electrical Code (NEC). The GE Panametrics O2X1 oxygen transmitter's 316 stainless steel package is FM approved as intrinsically safe for use in Class I, II, III; Division 1; Groups A, B, C, D, E, F, & G hazardous (indoor/outdoor) Type 4X locations, and is certified by BASEEFA II 1 G EEx ia IIC T4 (Tamb = –20°C to +60°C).

The rugged GE Panametrics O2X1 oxygen transmitter is controlled by a microprocessor that enables the user to select the range, trim outputs, and perform calibration. Programming the GE Panametrics O2X1 oxygen transmitter is easily accomplished using the three-button keypad and the three light-emitting diodes (LEDs). These switches allow complete functionality in hazardous areas when equipped with an MTL706 barrier.

The compact GE Panametrics O2X1 oxygen transmitter, with its built-in microprocessor, is designed to fit easily into any installation site. The GE Panametrics O2X1 oxygen transmitter can be installed right at the sampling point, whereas other transmitters must be rack or panel mounted.
