3. Maintenance
Serviceability: Except for replacing the Oxygen sensor, there are no parts inside the Analyzer for the operator to service.
WARNING- Substitution of Components May Impair Intrinsic Safety
Only trained personnel with the authorization of their supervisor should conduct maintenance.
Oxygen Sensor: DO NOT open the sensor. The sensor contains a corrosive liquid electrolyte that could be harmful if
touched or ingested, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet contained in the Owner’s Manual appendix. Avoid cont act with
any liquid or crystal type powder in or around the se nsor or sensor housing, as either could be a form of electrolyte. Leaking
sensors should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Troubleshooting: Consult the guidelines in Section 8 for advice on the c ommon operati ng errors before conc lu ding th at
your Analyzer is faulty. Do not attempt to service the Analyzer beyond those means described in this Owner’s Manual.
Do not attempt to make repairs by yourself as this will void the warranty as per Section 10 and m ay result in electrical shock,
injury or damage. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
Cleaning: The analyzer should be cle aned only as recommended by the manufacturer. Wipe off dust and dirt from the
outside of the unit with a soft damp cloth then dry immediately. Do not use solvents or chemicals.
Non-use Period: If the analyzer is equipped with a range switch advance the switch to the OFF positio n and disconnect
the power when the Analyzer is left unused for a long period of time.
Installation
This analyzer has been constructed in compliance with:
ATEX Directive 94/9/EC
EN 60079-0 : 2006
EN 60079-1 : 2004
EN 60079-11 : 2007
It must be installed in accordance with: EN 60079-14
Potential Explosion Hazard: The devices are not intended for use in atmospheres or with sample gas
streams containing oxygen concentration greater than 21 percent by volume (ambient air) and are
only intended for use in gases or gas mixtures classified as Class I, Div 1, Groups C and D hazardous
locations, when used in the United States or Canada.
Sampling Stream: The analyzer is designed to measure Oxygen in ambient air and hence has no sample stream
requirement.
Expected Sensor Life: With reference to the publish specification included as a separate page following the
appendices of this manual, the expected life of all Oxygen sensors is predicated on the rate at which the sensor's anode is
consumed at: temperature of 77°F/25°C; pressure of 1 atmosphere in ambient air (20.9% oxygen).
Deviations from these conditions will affect the life of the sensor (temperature higher than 77
atmospheric would cause a reduction in the sensor life).

Accuracy and Calibration: Refer to section 5 Operation.
Material and Gases: A certified span gas is required for routine calibration (see details in Operation).
Operating Temperature: The recommended operating temperature is below 35 ºC. However, the analyzer may be
operated at temperature up to 45 ºC on an intermittent basis but the user is expected to accept a reduction in
expected sensor life –as a rule of thumb, for every degree ºC increase in temperature (above 25 ºC), the sens or
life is reduced by approximately 2.5%.
Heat: Install the analyzer away from direct sun and from any sour ce of heat. Situate and store the analyzer a way from direct
sources of heat.
Liquid and Solid Object Entry: The analyzer should not be immersed in any liquid. Care shou ld be taken so that
liquids are not spilled into and objects do not fall on or inside of the analyze r .
Handling: Do not use force when using/operating mechanical components. Before moving your analyzer be sure to
disconnect the wiring/power cord and any cables connected to the output terminals of the analyz er.
Sample Pressure
All electrochemical sensors respond to partial pressure changes in the gas of interest. The sensors are capable of analyzing
the Oxygen in ambient air (such as a confined space in a control room or an open area around a landfill or bio-pond) . The
following conditions are applicable to analyzers equipped with electrochemical sensors.
Analyzers designed for in-situ ambient or area monitoring have no real sample inlet and vent. The sensor is intended to
operate at atmospheric pressure and is exposed directly to the ambient measuring environment. The analyzer has a built-i n
barometric pressure sensor and the sensor output is automatically compensated for any atmospheric pressure changes.
Mounting of the Analyzer: The analyzer is approved for indoor as well as outdoor use. Ho wever, avoid mounting in
an area where direct sun might heat up the analyzer beyond the recommended operating temperature range. If possible,
install a small hood over the analyzer for rain water drain and to prevent over-heating of analyzer.
Gas Connections: None for normal operation. For calibration, a flow-through adapter with gas Inlet and outlet is
provided. A flow control valve is recommended to bring the span gas to sensor within the recommended flow rate (1-2 SCFH)
Power Requirement: Suppl y power to the analyzer only as rated by the specification or markings on the analyzer
enclosure. The GPR-2800AIS-S is powered by 12-28 VDC. The wiring that connects the anal yzer to the power source shoul d
be installed in accordance with recognized el ectrical st andar ds. Ensure that the analyzer case is properly grou nded and meets
the requirements for area classification where the analyzer is installed. Never yank wiring to remove it from a terminal
connection.
Power Consumption: The maximum power consumption is less than 7 Watts.

5. Operation
Principle of Operation
The GPR-2800AIS-S Ambient Oxygen Analyzer incorporates an adv anced electrochemical sensor
very specific to Oxygen and generates an electrical signa l proportional to the amount of Oxygen
present in a gas.
The analyzer is configured in two sections. T he signal pr ocessing electronics a nd sensor are housed
in a general purpose (Type R3) rated enclosure. T he terminals of power input, signal output and the
intrinsic safety barriers are mounted on a PCB housed in an explosion proof enclosure.
The two sets of electronics are interconnected using an explosion proof Y-fitting, explosion proof
packing fiber and sealing cement. Once connected, the i ntrinsic safety barriers limit the amo unt of power that
flows to and from the signal processing electronics effectively preventing an explosive condition.
The GPR-2800AIS-S meets the ATEX and cUL intrinsic safety standards required for use in Class I, Division 1, Group C, D
hazardous areas and carries the following area classification:

Advanced Electrochemical Sensor Technology
All galvanic type sensors function on the same principle and are specif ic to oxygen. They measure the partial pressure of
oxygen from low PPM to 100% levels in inert gases, gaseous hydrocarbons, helium, hydrogen and mixed gases.
Oxygen, the fuel for this electrochemical transducer, diffusing into the sensor, reacts electrochemically at the sensing
electrode to produce an electrical current output proportional to the oxygen concentration in the gas phase. The sensor’s
signal output is linear over all measuring ranges and remains virtually constant over its useful life. The sensor req uires no
maintenance and is easily and safely replaced at the end of its useful life.
Proprietary advancements in design and chemistry add significant advantages to this extremely versatile oxygen sensing
technology. Sensors recover from air to low % levels in seconds, exhibit longer life a nd reliable quality. The expected life of our
new generation of percentage range sensors now range fr om 32 months to ten years with faster response times and greater
stability. Another significant development involves expandin g the operating temperature range for percentage range sensors
from -30°C to 50°C. Contact factory for more specific information about your application.
Electronics
The signal generated by the sensor is processed by state of the art lo w power micro-processor based digital circuitr y. The first
stage amplifies the signal. The second stage eliminates the low frequency nois e. The third stage employs a high frequency
filter and compensates for signal output variations caused by ambient temperature changes. The result is a ver y stable signal.
Sample oxygen is analyzed very accurately. Respo nse time of 90% of full scale is less than 10 seconds (actual experience
may vary due to the integrity of sample line connections, dead volume and flow rate selected) on all rang es under ambient
monitoring conditions. Sensitivity is typically 0.5% of full scale of the low range. Oxygen readings may be recorded by an
external device via the 4-20 mA or 1-5V signal output.

Calibration and Accuracy Overview
Single Point Calibration: As previously described, the electrochemical Oxygen sensor generates an electrical current
proportional to the Oxygen concentration in the sample gas. In the absence of Oxygen the sensor exhibits an absolute zero,
e.g. the sensor does not generate a current output in the absence of Oxygen. Given these linearity and absolute zero
properties, single point calibration is possible.
Ambient Temperature: The rate at which Oxygen molecules diffuse into the sensor is controlled by a Teflon membrane
otherwise known as an 'Oxygen diffusion limiting barrier' . All diffusion processes are temperature sensitive, therefor e, the fact
that the sensor's electrical output will vary with temperature is normal. Unde r typical applications, this variation is relatively
constant and the measurement accuracy remains within the published s pecifications over the r ecommended operatin g rage of
temperature. The accuracy of +
measurement accuracy will be the highest if the calibration and sampling are performed at similar temperatures (a temperature
variation of 10 ºC may produce an error of >+/-2% of full scale).
Accuracy:In light of the above parameters, the overall accuracy of an analyzer is affected by two types of errors, 'percent
of reading errors', illustrated by Graph A below and the 'p ercent of full scale errors', illustrated by Graph B. The percent of
reading error is contributed by incorrect calibration procedure whereas the percent of full scale error is contributed by tolerance
in components and the measurement device. These errors are 'spanned out' during calibration, especially when span
calibration is done close to the top end of the measuring range followed by a zero calibration.
Graph C illustrates these 'worse case' specifications that are typicall y used to develop an overall accuracy statement of < 2%
of full scale at constant temperature or < 5% over the operating tempe rature range. The QC testing error at the factory is
typically < 1% of full scale.
Example 1: Graph A, percent of reading error, this error is more pronounced when a span adjustment is carried out at the
lower end of the scale. Conversely, an error during a span adj ustment cl ose to th e top end of the r ange would red uce t he error
proportionately for measurements near the bottom end of the range.
Graph B represents a constant error over the entire me asuring range. This error is generally associated with the measuring
e.g., LCD and or calibrating devices, e.g., current simulator or current/voltage measuring devices.
Graph C shows the overall accuracy of the measurement.
5% or better over an operating temperature range e.g., 5-45oC can be obtained. The

Mounting of the Analyzer
The GPR-2800AIS-S consists of two interconnected
enclosures. This configuration is designed to be
mounted directly to any flat vertical surface, wall or
bulkhead plate by using eight (4) of the appropriate
screws.
To facilitate servicing the interior of the Analyzers,
secure the back plate to a vertical surface
approximately 5 feet from the floor or a level
accessible to service personnel. This requires the
user to supply four (4) additional proper size scre ws
and anchors.
Caution: Do not remove or discard the
gaskets from either the Ex enclosure or
the fiberglass enclosure. Failure to
reinstall either of the gaskets will void the
UL Type 3R rating and the immunity to RFI/EMI.
The Analyzer's design provides immunity from RFI/EMI by mainta ining a good conductive contact between the t wo halves of
the enclosures via a conductive gasket (the smaller enclosure containing signal processing electronics). The surfaces
contacting the conductive gasket are unpainted. Do not paint these areas. Painting will negate the RFI/EMI protection
See Section 4 – Specifications, for exclusions
Gas Connections
The GPR-2800AIS-S measures Oxygen in ambient air thus it does not require sample gas connections.
For calibration a flow through housing with gas inlet and vent is provided that mounts directly to the sensor. Use supplies the
flow control device to regulate span gas flow within the recommended range (1-2 SCFH). The user is responsible for
calibration gases and other required components, see below.

NOTE: The analyzer is allowed to accept calibration o nly when the Oxygen read ing is within 50% of the span gas value. If the
Oxygen reading is outside of this limit, by pressing ENT ER to acc ept calibration will result in “FAILED CALIBRAT ION” and the
analyzer will return to the Sample mode without completing Span calibration.
If span calibration is unsuccessful, repeat calibration, make sure the reading stabilizes a nd reach es within 30-50% of the span
gas value (after factory default span setting) before pressing ENTER to accept calibration.
PASSED CALIBRATION
Setting Alarms
The analyzer is equipped with two programmable alarm re lays. The two alarms set points are user adjustable and can be set
either as LOW/HIGH, LOW/LOW or HIGH/HIGH.
Setting Alarm Delays
Alarm delay option allows the user to ignore the alarm should a sudden short spike in the oxygen reading occurs.
Setting Alarm Bypass
The alarms bypass feature allows the user to bypass the alarm during trouble shooting/repa ir or test run. However, once the
alarm bypass is selected, alarm will remain disabled even if the oxygen reading is over/under th e alarm set point. The alarm
will re-arm itself only after the fault condition has been reverted.
The alarms are automatically disabled during SPAN/ZERO calibration.
The relays are rated at 1A @ 230V.
CAUTION; When using these relays, do not exceed the recommended rating.

Explosion Proofing Electrical Connections
Electrical connections require an approved explosion proof sealing fitting and packing around wires and cables (for incoming
power for the analyzer electronics and 4-20mA signal output) coming into and o ut of the explosio n proof enclos ure that house s
the power supply/signal output PCB.
Compliance with hazardous area electrical code requires the user to supply glands, fittings and/or conduit commensurate with
the level of protection or classification desired.
To maintain the ATEX certification of this unit, the user must install ATEX approved com pon ents accor ding to AT EX directives .
To meet US and Canada requirements for use in Class I, Division 1, Groups C, D hazardous areas, the user must install the
appropriate components according to the NEC standards (US) or CEC standards (Cana da).
Note: The following instruction is supplied from information and data supplied by a repu table enclosure manufacturer which
we believe is reliable and is given in good fai th. Since the me thods of application and conditions under which our products ar e
put to use are beyond our control, we are not able to guarantee the application a nd/or use of same. The user assumes all
risks and liability in connection with the application and use of our products.
Directions for use of Explosion Proof Packing Fiber ( non-asbestos )
For use as packing at the hub of sealing fittings, tamp packing fiber bet ween and aroun d conductors where they enter fitting to
prevent leakage of the liquid cement. Leave enough space in the fitting for length e quivalent to the inside diameter of the
conduit but, not less than 5/8”.
Caution: Avoid contact may cause lung, eye or skin irritation. Us e adequate ventilation, prolonge d breathing or
ingestion may cause internal obstruction, seek medical car e. Use protective gl oves, long sleev e and m ask if dust
or fiber is irritating. Contact with eyes or skin may cause skin burn, flush with water for 15 minutes.
Directions for use of Explosion Proof Sealing Cement:
1. Water-mix sealing compound should not be poured or installed at temperature below 40F (4C).
2. Maintain temperature at or above 40F for at least 72 hours after pouring.
3. CSA certified when used with any CSA certified sealing fitting.
4. Adaco No. 1 sealing cement must be used as a part of any Adalet UL listed fitting.
5. Tamp packing fiber between and around conductors at entry to the sealing fitting to prevent leakage of liquid cement.
6. Make sure conductors are not in contact with each other or with the wall of fitting.
7. Leave space in the fitting for a sealing length equivalent to the thread size of the conduit seal but not less than 5/8”.
8. Fill the marked shipping container with clean cold water to the “water line” [35 ml to be precise].
9. Do not exceed the required amount of water.
10. Gradually pour cement from the plastic bag into the water and stir thoroughly for proper mixture.
11. Fill fitting completely within five (5) minutes after mixing, then tamp with blunt stick to expel any air bubbles.
12. Close up any opening in the fitting to insure integrity of the seal.
13. Fittings requiring more than 10 oz. of cement must be filled from a single mixture of cement and water.
DO NOT POUR IN STAGES.
14. Allow cement at least 72 hours to cure.
15. Caution: At least five threads must engage on all fill plugs.
To reorder sealing cement kit, specify P/N ENCL-1071-KIT

Appendix B
Matching - LCD Display with 4-20mA Output
In rare instances the 4-20mA signal output may n ot agree with the reading displayed on the LCD. The Output Zero and Output
Span features enable the user to adjust the 4mA and 20 mA signal output matching with the reading displayed b y the LCD.
For optimum accuracy make two separate adjustments as follows:
1. OUTPUT ZERO feature: To adjust the 4mA signal output and requires zero gas.
2. OUTPUT SPAN feature: To adjust the 20mA signal output and requires span gas near full range.
Note: In the field or in the absence of the preferred gases, use the OUTPUT SPAN feature and adju st the 20mA signal output
using the span gas available.
Procedure – regardless of type of adjustment:
1. When you select OUTPUT ZERO OR OUTPUT SPAN, the microprocessor defaults to 100% to start.
2. The “actual” 4-20mA signal output will be adjusted to the “theoretical” value of the LCD display.
3. Adjustment general rule:
a) If the actual 4-20mA value < the theoretical LCD value, the adjustment value will be > 100%.
b) If the actual 4-20mA value > the theoretical LCD value, the adjustment value will be < 100%.
4. Convert the “actual” reading of the LCD display to the “theoretical” 4-20mA as follows:
a) Divide the “actual” (% or percent) LCD reading by the value of the span gas available.
b) Multiply 16mA (20mA – 4mA) times the “result of a.”
c) Add 4mA plus the “result of b.” to obtain the “theoretical” 4-20mA signal output value.
5. Adjustment value: Divide the theoretical by the actual 4-20mA values and multiply by 100.
6. Enter the adjustment value via OUTPUT ZERO or OUTPUT SPAN routines described below.
