1 Introduction
1.1 Intended Use
The portable BA 4000 Inj. Bühler O2 analyser is a special unit for determining oxygen in low gas volumes.
This analyser is a modification of the BA4000, primarily used in the food industry to analyse small residual amounts in modified atmosphere packaging, bottles or tins. The O2 content in insulating glass panes can also be determined. There are 2 versions.
The device
must not be used
– To analyse combustible, inflammable or explosive gas mixtures,
– In explosive areas and
– For applications where equipment failure or malfunction puts persons in immediate danger.
1.2 Design types
The
BA 4000 Inj. GV
is used for volumes > 35 ml. The duration of the internal sample gas pump can optionally be controlled us-
ing an adjustable timing relay.
The
BA 4000 Inj. KV
is used for gas volumes < 35 ml. This analyser is operated by a vacuum pump. There are different puncturing
devices available, depending on the type of packaging.
An optional pressure gauge is available for use with vacuum packaging. This allows for comparing O2 concentrations at different package pressures. It further allows for zero point calibration without zero gas.

1.4 Functional principle
The measuring cell on the analyser uses the handle principle, utilising the paramagnetic properties of oxygen. In practice, the
quality of gas conditioning and the mechanical strain (impact, shock) limit the life of the measuring cell.
The
BA4000Inj.GV
is designed as a portable unit and can be used for monitoring changing locations.
1.5 Scope of delivery

Electrocution hazard.
a) Disconnect the device from power supply.
b) Make sure that the equipment cannot be reconnected to mains unintentionally.
c) The device must be opened by trained staff only.
d) Regard correct mains voltage.
DANGER Toxic, acidic gasses
Sample gas / calibrating gas can be harmful.
a) If necessary, ensure a safe gas discharge.
b) Switch off the gas supply before performing maintenance and protect from opening
inadvertently.
c) Protect yourself from toxic / corrosive gasses when performing maintenance. Wear
appropriate protective equipment.
DANGER Potentially explosive atmosphere
Explosion hazard if used in hazardous areas.
The device is not suitable for operation in hazardous areas with potentially explosive atmospheres.
