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.

2. ON/OFF sends power to the electronics
4.3 Start-Up Test
Pressing the ON/ OFF k ey, abov e right , no t onl y supplies power to the electronics but initiates diagnostic
tests of the electronics and battery voltage.
Low batt ery volt age detect e d d ur i ng the St art Up Test or norm al operatio n causes t he LCD
display to alter nate between LO and t he oxygen value in the SAMPLING mode.
The sensor’s signal output must be confirmed
by calibrating the device as described in the
following section.
4.4 Calibration
Electro chem ical oxy ge n sens ors ge ner at e sli ghtl y di ff erent sign al o utput s under

Procedure
Calibrate: (a) with a known source of dry air,
21% or 100% ox ygen before using each day
or after 8 hour s of conti nuous use; (b) when
the tem peratur e or press ure of the op eratin g
environm ent changes; (c) if the o xygen sensor has
been disconnected and reconnected; (d) after the
battery or oxygen sensor has been replaced.
1. Expose the sensor to the calibration gas (refer
to prec eding s ection) for a ppro ximatel y 30 s econds to allow the sensor to stab ilize.
2. Contin ue exp osi ng t he se nsor t o th e ca librat ion
gas until the calibrat ion routine is c o mplete.
3. Press and hold the CAL pushbutton for three (3)
second s t o in itiate the calib r ation rou t ine.
4. The LCD displays CAL, top right, during the
calibration routine which take s 15-20 second s .
5. The software determines from the sensor’s
signal output whether the device is being calibrated with 100% or 21% oxygen.
6. If the calibration is successful, the LCD will
display, middle and bottom right, the oxygen
value of the calibration gas and returns to t he
SAMPLING mode.
7. Remove the ca libration gas and begin sampling.
Calibration Fails
If the calibration fails, the LCD will display ERR as
illustrated.
An unsuc cessful c alibration can be caus ed by
several problems with the sensor, calibration
gas or electronics. Dropping the device will
damage the sensor and electronics.

5 Operation
5.1 Principle of Operation
The Palm O2 Oxygen Analyzer utilizes an electrochemical galvanic fuel cell type
oxygen s ens or of the ty pe t hat i s exte nsi vely us ed to m eas ure ox ygen co nc entrations from 0% to 100% in gas streams. Oxygen, the fuel for this electrochemical transducer, diffusing i nto the se nsor through a gas perme able membrane reacts chemically at the sensing electrode to produce an electric al current
output proportional to the o xygen concentratio n in the g as phase. The sensor
has an absolut e zero meaning that when no oxygen is present to be chemically
reacted the LCD displays 00.0 oxygen.
The sens o r’ s s i gnal out p ut is l i near over the ent i r e r a nge, rem ai ns vir tually con stant over th e s pecifi ed us ef ul life and dr ops off s h ar ply at the en d. The senso r
itself re quires no mainte nance and is simply r eplaced at the end of its useful life
like a battery. Inasmuch as the sensor is a trans ducer in its own right, its expected life is not affected by whether the analyzer is ON or OFF.
The relationship between the sensor’s signal and changes with the oxygen
concentration is both propor tional and linear, thus allowing single point
calibrati on . Ot h er factors that ca n affect the sign al o u tput are d es cr ibed
in Section 5.2 Application Considerations and Section 3 Safety Warnings
which sho uld be read befor e use.
Historic ally, the expected life of galvanic fuel type sensor s has been specified as
“in air (20.9% O

Fo r exam ple, the AII-11-75-P O2D and AII-11-75-PO2RD sensors have a 32 mont h expected l if e in ai r (20 .9% ox ygen) at 2 5°C an d am bient press ur e, ho w ever , in a
100% oxygen atmosphere the expected life is 12.6 months [60mo/
(100%/20.9%)].

5.2 Application Consideratio ns
Effect of Temperature
All mem bra ne clad electro ch emi cal se nsor s are t emp erat ur e depe ndent d ue t o
the expa ns i o n and contraction of the Tef lon sens i n g m embrane. As result m o re
or less of the sample gas including oxygen to be reacted diffuses into the sensor. The oxygen sensor’s electrical current signal output varies linearly with
oxygen concent rat i on. The si gnal also var i es w i th changes in ambi en t tem perature. The temperature coefficient is typically 2.54% of the signal or reading per
degree C change in temperature.
The tem peratur e depe ndent cur rent si gnal out put is compens ated by us ing a
resistor-thermistor network. With a proper resistor-thermistor network, the
signal can b e compens ated to w ithin +
45°C tem p er a t ure rang e. Thi s i s t h e w o r se case s i tuation when going from o n e
extreme of the operating temperature range to the other. The error will be
elimi nated wh en t he ther mis tor in the t em perat ur e com pe nsa ti on netw ork a nd
the electrolyte inside the sensor reach thermal equilibrium in approximat ely 4560 minutes.
Erroneous oxygen readings can result if the gases flowing over the
sensing area of the senso r are no t at ambi e nt temperature. This oc curs
because t he senso r is ex posed to different temper atures. The sens ing
area of the sensor is o-ring sealed in the sample gas and the temperature compensation network at the rear of the sensor is exposed to ambient
temperature.
Effect of Pressure
Electrochemical sensors a ctuall y m eas ure th e par tial pr ess ur e, not th e p ercen tage, of o xy ge n i n the gas s tr e am they are exposed to . These sensor s ar e a c c urate at any pressur e provid ed the press ure is cons tant and the analyz er has
been calibrated at the same pressure as the sample gas measured .
For ex ample, wh en connected t o a gas s tream w here t he pressur e varies , oxygen sensor causes the analyzer to display fluctuating oxygen readings. The
fluctuations in the re adings displayed are not related to a change in the oxygen
percentage but to the change in partial pressure.

Effect of Humidity
The an alyzer is no t affect ed by non -condensin g relativ e humidit y (RH). Ho wever, the addition of water vapor or moisture increases the total pressure
thereby diluting or decreasing the oxygen concentration of the gas mixture
resulting in a lower oxygen reading.
Effect of Condensation
Excessiv e co nde nsati on coll ectin g on t he s ens ing area or t he el ectr i cal conne ctions at the re ar of the sensors can a dversely imp act the performan ce of electrochemical sensors. Conde nsation blocks the dif fusion pat h of oxyg en into th e
sensor a nd ca n re duce t he oxy gen r eading to 0 0.0 if the cond ensat ion cov ers
the entire sensi ng ar ea. Co ndensation o n t he el ectrical c onnections at the re ar
of the sensor can affect oxygen readings. Remedy either situation by shaking
out the condensation and allowing the sensor to air dry.
Erroneously characterized in many instances as a sensor f ailure, exc essive condensatio n i s rem edied by g ent ly wipi ng aw ay the co n de ns ati on with a soft cl ot h
or simply allo wing the sensor to air dry.
Effect of Electromagnetic Radiation
Tested over a 26 MHz to 100 0 MHz elect romag netic fiel d, th e anal yzer i s susceptibl e at al l frequencies t es t ed except those betw ee n 93 0 and 990 MHz.
Never op erate the analyz er near equipme nt capable of em itting high
levels of electromagnetic radiation. Do not continue to operate the
analyzer if the reading becomes unstable.
5.3 Calibration
Calibrating the analyzer during normal operation involves the same
precauti ons a nd proc edur es as tho se des cri bed in Sec tio ns 4.4 St art- up
Calibration with the sam e cautions to review Sections 3 Safety Warnings and 5.2 Application C onsidera t ion s .
5.4 Sampling
Assuming the START-UP TESTS are completed successfully the devices default
to the SAMPLING mode.
Never operate the analyzer if the reading is unstable or if a malfunction
is suspected. If calibration is required as indicated herein, do not proceed until the analyzer is c alibration successfully.
5.4.1 Flowing Gas Stream s
1. Place the s ensing a rea of t he sensor into t he gas str eam to be anal yzed
upstream of any humidification equipment.
2. Assure that the flow rate of the gas stream does not exceed ten (10) liters
per minute. Exceeding ten (10) liters per minute generates backpressure.
3. Check the gas stream and particularly the mechanical connection for leaks
that dilute the gas stream with ambient air.
4. Assure there are no restrictions in the circuit downstream of the sensor
that could generate backpressure on the sensor.
5. Select a means o f flowing gas to th e sensor, see below and Sectio n 8.1.
