5. Operation
Principle of Operation
The GPR-2500 GB incorporates a variety of advanced galvanic fuel cell type oxygen sensors. These sensors
are very specific to oxygen and generate an electrical signal proportional to the amount of oxygen present in a
gas stream. The selection of a particular type of sensor depends on the composition of the sample gas stream.
Consult the factory for recommendation.
Advanced Galvanic Sensor Technology
All galvanic type sensors function on the same principle and are specific 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 requires 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 for low % analysis recover from air to low % levels in seconds, exhibit
longer life and reliable quality. The expected life of our new generation of percentage range sensors now range
from 32 months to ten years with faster response times and greater stability. Another significant development
involves expanding the operating temperature range for percentage range sensors from -20°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 low power micro-processor based digital
circuitry. The first stage amplifies the signal. The second stage eliminates the low frequency noise. The third
stage employs a high frequency filter and compensates for signal output variations caused by ambient
temperature changes. The result is a very stable signal. Sample oxygen is analyzed very accurately. Response
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 ranges under ambient monitoring conditions.

mpling (see photo section 4 Specifications) and flow housing with valves for calibration.
Accuracy and Calibration
Single Point Calibration: As previously described the
galvanic type 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.
Pressure: Because sensors are sensitive to the partial
pressure of oxygen in the sample gas, their output is a
function of the number of molecules of oxygen or
percentage 'per unit volume'.
Temperature: The rate at which oxygen molecules

sampling are performed at similar temperatures (within +/- 5 ºC. Conversely, a temperature variation of 10 º

Accuracy:
errors: 1) 'percent of reading errors', illustrated by Graph A below and 2) 'percent of full scale errors', illustrated

calibration, especially when analyzer is calibrated close to the top end
In light of the above parameters, the overall accuracy of an analyzer is affected by two types of

Recommendations to avoid erroneous oxygen readings and damaging the sensor:
• Assure there are no restrictions in the sample or vent lines
• Avoid drawing a vacuum on the sensor that exceeds 14” of water column pressure
• Avoid excessive flow rates above 2
• Avoid sudden changes in the sample pressure.
• Avoid the collection of liquids or particulates on the sensor, they block the diffusion of oxygen into the
