1.0 Introduction
The ETS-Lindgren Sample Draw Oxygen Monitoring System (OMS™) is a
self-contained oxygen deficiency detection system suitable for remote sampling
of confined spaces; this single-point monitor is designed for the continuous
detection and measurement of ambient oxygen concentration levels.
As a compact gas monitoring system, the OMS is ideal for the continuous
monitoring of the air in MRI rooms, labs, freezers, confined spaces, and other
shielded enclosures where inert gases may displace the oxygen and create a
danger for patients and staff. The OMS is suitable for indoor and outdoor use,
and is intended to be installed outside of the shielded enclosure.
Each system consists of a long-life zirconium oxide sensor cell and 3-wire
transmitter. Unlike electrochemical sensor cells, the zirconium oxide sensor cell
provides stable oxygen readings even in areas where temperature and humidity
levels are changing. The OMS may be used as a standalone gas detector or
connected to your own centralized control and surveillance system.
Technology
L
ONG-LIFE ZIRCONIUM OXIDE SENSOR CELL
The heart of the monitoring system is a zirconium sensor, which responds to low
oxygen conditions within seconds and provides accurate measurements over a
wide temperature and humidity range. The zirconium sensor will operate
continuously for eight or more years, requiring minimum maintenance. There are
no zero or span calibration pots to adjust, and when compared to disposable
sensors, the long-life zirconium sensor can save hundreds of dollars in annual
maintenance.
Unlike concentration cells, the zirconium sensor does not need an oxygen
reference gas for proper operation. The OMS can detect low oxygen levels in
confined spaces and process tools without the need of a reference gas.
S
MART ELECTRONICS
The OMS incorporates a special electronic circuit that continuously monitors
sensor operation. With the addition of the alarm relay option, any cell degradation
or complete failure will be detected immediately. This smart circuitry alerts the
user to sensor faults and other electrical problems that may interrupt surveillance
through the standard mA signal output signal or through the optional fault relay
option.
Ideal for continuously monitoring oxygen levels in confined spaces or areas
where inert gases are used, the OMS does not drift or lose sensitivity with
weather or temperature changes. The electronics are housed in a
NEMA Type 4X enclosure.
Standard Configuration
The OMS must be installed outside of the shielded enclosure.
• Oxygen Monitoring System
• Power supply
• Dust filter
Optional Remote Display
The remote display receives oxygen
concentration information from
the OMS. Up to two remote displays
can be connected. See page 40 for
installation information.

2.0 Maintenance
WARRANTY
Calibrate or challenge the OMS ONLY outside
the MRI suite.
Before performing any maintenance, follow the
safety information in the ETS-Lindgren
Product Information Bulletin included with your
shipment.
Maintenance of the OMS is limited to the
procedures described in this manual, and
should be performed only by qualified
personnel.
Warranty may be void if non-authorized
procedures are performed, or if performed by
non-qualified personnel.
If you have any questions concerning
maintenance, contact ETS-Lindgren
Customer Service.

Recommended Routine Maintenance
The Sample Draw Oxygen Monitoring System (OMS™) is a continuous gas
detection system that measures and detects hazardous gas leaks in the
workplace, and therefore requires periodic maintenance to ensure proper
operation. The frequency with which this routine maintenance is performed
depends on your environment and company policies. Following are
recommendations intended as a general guideline.
E
VERY
6-12 M
ONTHS
•Visual checks: Check for power and proper operation. The OMS
should output a 17.34 mA signal when the oxygen level is at 20.9%.
Also, the display should indicate 20.9% oxygen when the oxygen is at
A
ambient levels.
•Sensor verification with nitrogen: The ambient oxygen level is
20.9%; therefore, under ambient conditions verification of the OMS to
20.9% oxygen is constantly performed. The OMS requires periodic
testing with nitrogen only to verify the cell response to low oxygen
levels. See Sensor Verification on page 73 for detailed steps.
NNUALLY
Depending on the environment, the filter should be replaced every 12 months; in
dusty environments, the filter may need to be replaced more frequently. If the
filter becomes completely blocked, the internal flow sensor will detect the loss of
flow and activate the fault relay and LED.
