Description
The O2-207G operates on the galvanic cell principle, functioning as a self-powered electrochemical battery. Oxygen from the sample diffuses through a high-durability membrane and is reduced at the cathode, generating a voltage that corresponds to the oxygen concentration (0.0–25.0%).
This sensor is notable for its $\phi$24.5 x 55 mm dimensions, which accommodate a larger internal electrolyte reservoir than typical “plug-in” portable sensors. This design ensures that the sensor maintains its calibration even when subjected to the physical movement and pressure changes often encountered during remote sampling with long extension cables.
Applications
Remote Cable or Direct Mounting: The O2-207G is applied by connecting it to the sensor lead of the GOA-40D-5 detector.
Installation: Screw the sensor into the threaded holder at the end of the extension cable or the detector’s sensor port. Ensure the multi-pin connector is fully seated and the lock-nut is tightened.
Fresh Air Calibration: In an environment known to have normal oxygen levels (20.9 O_2), use the “One-Touch” calibration button on the GOA-40D-5. The digital display will automatically adjust to 21.0%.
Sampling: Lower the sensor into the target area (e.g., a manhole) using the extension cable. The backlit LCD on the monitor will show real-time changes in oxygen levels.
Maintenance: If the monitor triggers a “Sensor Error” or cannot be calibrated to 21% in fresh air, the chemical capacity of the O2-207G is exhausted and it must be replaced.
