The Nova 325 Portable Trace Oxygen Analyzer is designed for accurately measuring trace PPM oxygen in clean, dry sample gas.

The customer replaceable electrochemical sensor produces a small output current directly proportional to the amount of O2 in the sample and is capable of measuring trace PPM levels of O2 in any range from 0-100 to 0-9999 PPM. The lowest readable level is 1 PPM.

Bypass solenoid valves are used to trap low PPM oxygen in the O2 cell to avoid exposure to ambient air. This allows for a rapid purge down and also protects the cell from momentary over exposure to high O2 levels.

A flow control valve and flow meter are provided for regulating the flow of samples under positive pressure. A built-in sample pump is provided for use on samples under atmospheric or slight negative pressure.

A rechargeable battery provides enough power for the pump and electronics for about 20 hours of continuous opertion. The analyzer may still be operated while it is being charged. A red LED indicates when to recharge the analyzer and a green LED indicates that it is receiving recharging power. The battery recharger is included with the analyzer.
Unit of Measure

Specifications

Method of Detection

 N/A Low range electrochemical O2 sensor

Ranges Available

 N/A 0-100 PPM to 0-9999 PPM O2

Resolution

 N/A 1 PPM

Accuracy & Repeatability

 N/A ±2% of reading

Drift
