1 Introduction

Congratul a tions o n your p urch ase, t hese Ins tr ucti ons fo r U se des cri be th e pr e­cautions, set-up, operation, maintenance and specifications of the Palm O2
Oxygen Analyzer.

This symbol means CAUTION – Failure to read and comply with the
Instructions for Use could damage the device and possibly jeopardize
the well being of the user.

Note: Analytical Industries Inc. cannot warrant any damage resulting from the
misuse, unauthorized repair or impr oper maintenance of the dev ice.

1.1 Indications for Use

The Pal m O2 O xyge n A nal yzer i s i ntend ed t o meas ur e an d di spl ay t he conc en­tratio n of oxygen in compressed breathing air tanks inte nded for scuba diving.

Users m ust read th e followi ng statements as they are es sential to re­ducing the r is k of us e erro r du e to ergo nomi c f eat ur es of th e devi ce o r
the environment in which the device is intended to be used.

The device has be en des i gned and ma nufactur e d i n s uch a way that when us e d
under the conditions and for the purposes intended, they will not compromise
the safety of the users or other persons.

Conform ity wi th ess enti al re quir eme nts has been demo nstr ate d by ver if ying th e
perform ance of the device under normal co nditio ns, be nch testi ng and deter­mining that undesirable malfunctions constitute minimal risk to users.

Do not sterilize, autoclave, liquid sterilize, immerse in any liquid or expose the
device or accessories t o steam, ethylene ox ide or radiat ion sterilization .

The devic e is inten ded to be re-usabl e. Shoul d the de vice or access ories com e

soft cloth dampened with 70% isopropyl alcohol solution in water and allow the
components to air-dry before re-use .

Do not o perat e t he an alyz er ne ar equi pme nt c ap able of em itti n g hi gh le vels of
electromagnetic radiation as the reading may become unstable.

1.2 Intended Use

The Palm O2 Oxygen Analyzer is i ntended to measure and dis pl a y the co ncen­tration of oxygen of o xygen in compressed breathin g air tanks intended for
scuba diving.

1.3 Device Description

The Pal m O 2 Ox yg en A nal yzer is desi gne d to b e ha nd held but ca n be t em po ­rarily placed in a fixed posi tion on a pole or s helf w i th o ption al br ac ket a tta ch­ments as illustrated in Section 8.1. A remote sensor option is available which
makes th e Palm O2 m ore flexi ble and eas ier to use. Either wa y, it provi des
continuous, fast, reliable and accurate oxygen measurements.

The device utilizes an electrochemical galvanic fuel cell type oxygen sensor of
the type t hat is extens ivel y used to meas ure o xygen co nce ntratio ns f rom 0%
to 100% in gas streams. O xygen, the fuel f or this electroch emical transduc er,
diffus ing into the s ensor thr ough a g as permeabl e membra ne reacts ch emi­cally at the sensi ng electro de to produ ce an elect rical curr ent o utput propo r­tional to the ox yg en con ce ntra tio n in the g as phas e. T he s enso r h as an abso­lute zero meaning that when no oxygen is present to be chemically reacted
the LCD displays 00.0 oxygen.

The sensor’s signal output is linear over the entire range, remains virtually
constant over t he specif ied us eful li fe and drop s off sharply at the e nd. The
sensor itself requires no maintenance and is simply replaced at the end of its
useful l ife like a ba ttery. In asmuch as t he sensor i s a transdu cer in its own
right, its expected life is not affected by whether the analyzer is ON or OFF.

A batter y pow ered st ate-of -the-ar t mi cro-pr ocess or con verts t he s ensor’ s sig­nal output representin g the parti al pressur e o f oxygen in the gas st ream bei n g
analyzed. The resulting oxygen reading is displayed by a large easy to read
backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) that has a resolution of 0.1% oxygen. The
microprocessor is controlled from a keypad and provides system diagnostics
and warning indicators for continuous monitoring that enhance both safety
and effectiveness.

Prior to shipment, every device is thoroughly tested at the factory and docu­mented in the form of a Quality Control Certification that is included in the
Instructions for Use su pp lied with every de vice.
