13.3 Oxygen Analyser (MB-OX-SE-1)
13.3.1 General
The MB-OX-SE-1 sensor has been designed to control the atmosphere of MBRAUN
Systems for residual Oxygen content. The measuring range is 0 to 1000 ppm. The
measuring range from 0 – 100 ppm is linear. The measurement range is calibrated for use
below 1000 ppm as the sensor output, above 100 ppm, not truly linear.
The semiconductor sensor made of Zirconium dioxide is specific for oxygen, but
because of the high sensor temperature and the catalytic activity of the platinum coating
of the sensor there are low cross-sensitivities for hydrogen as well as possible reactions
with aggressive gaseous substances, that can reduce the operational life of the sensor.
Operating the sensor at oxygen levels of >1000 ppm (e.g. in air) does not damage
the sensor element irreversibly, but it should be avoided. If exposed to air, it will
take several hours until the sensor will measure low oxygen levels correctly in
Inert Gas.
