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.
Page 12
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

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.

Initial Startup
Once installation of the OMS is complete, it is ready for startup. Follow these
steps prior to putting the OMS into operation:
1. Check the integrity of all wiring.
2. Apply 24 VDC power to the power supply PCB board. The sample
pump will activate and the digital display second line will quickly
display the digital transmitter module (DTM), serial number, and
software version.
• To display the DTM numbers: Push the joystick to the left.
• To display the gas and range: Push the joystick down. The gas
and range will continuously scroll.
To stop the scrolling: Push the joystick down.
The OMS should now be powered up. The display will show a 4-minute,
(240-second) countdown as the current to the sensor stabilizes. The monitor will
output a 4 mA signal during the entire warm-up period.
After the countdown, the sensor will continue to reach its operating temperature
for approximately 30 minutes and the reading that is displayed will slowly
increase to ambient.
Do not make any adjustments to the reading until after the OMS has
been powered for at least one hour.
Immediately after the countdown, the OMS will display
FLOW FAILURE: OUT OF RANGE on the top line and disappear.
This is a fault history message only and is generated at startup to
verify the integrity of the system. The message will automatically clear
and Oxygen will display on the top line and 20.9% will display on the
bottom line.
If the fault is still present, the actual fault code will display on the
bottom line.

Internal Sample Flow Rate
The OMS has an internal sample pump flow rate that is programmed at the
factory and cannot be changed in the field. A flow sensor on the relay board
continually monitors flow rate and when a loss of flow is detected, a signal is sent
to the fault relay and the front mounted LED will activate. Sample flow to the
monitor is continuously monitored and controlled by the flow control
microprocessor.
If the sample line is blocked, the fault indicator will illuminate and the
pump will accelerate and attempt to re-establish the proper flow rate. If
the line is cleared, the pump will speed and slow down and the fault
light will turn off when the flow rate is back to factory setting.
For the recommended filter maintenance, see page 14.
Signal Outputs
The OMS outputs a continuous 4–20 mA analog signal proportional to the
measured concentration of oxygen; 4 mA represents 0% oxygen, and 20 mA
represents 25% oxygen, which is the full range. In the event of a system fault, a
specific factory-defined code will be displayed on the display, indicating the exact
nature of the system fault.

Resetting the alarms can be performed by using the joystick or using the remote
reset function.
•Joystick—To reset the alarms, enter the password, and then push the
joystick directly in the center to enter the information.
•Remote Reset—The alarm relay board has a 2-pin connector for
wiring to a remote switch. When connected to a switch, this remote
reset will bypass the joystick and a password will not be needed to
reset the alarms.
The oxygen levels must recover above the alarm thresholds before
the horn can be reset from the remote reset switch or joystick.

The audio can be set to only one alarm level. Choose between
alarm level 1 and alarm level 2, or select a different setting.
The OMS may be used as a control system. When used to regulate oxygen
levels, a dead band, hysteresis may be required. This menu sets the alarm
hysteresis to a desired concentration of oxygen. When using hysteresis, the
alarm set point becomes an average alarm setting for an action to occur. When
adding the hysteresis value to the alarm set point, this then defines the alarm and
dead band for an action to occur.
For example, to require a valve to close at 14.9% oxygen level and to reopen at
15.5% oxygen level, set the alarm threshold at 15.2% and the hysteresis value at
0.3%.
Valve off: Average alarm set point = 15.2% - Hysteresis 0.3% = 14.9%
Valve on: Average alarm set point = 15.2% + Hysteresis 0.3% = 15.5%

9.0 Sensor Verification
Earth is a source of calibrated oxygen at 20.9%, and therefore under ambient
conditions. Verification of the Sample Draw Oxygen Monitoring System (OMS™)
to 20.9% oxygen is constantly being performed. As the sensor ages over time, it
may require a slight adjustment to 20.9%. The OMS also requires periodic testing
with nitrogen to verify the cells response to 0% oxygen.
The required gas and equipment are available from your gas supplier
or from Air Liquide at 800-638-1197.
Nitrogen and an on-demand regulator are recommended to expose the OMS to a
known span gas. You may purchase both items from your gas supplier or from
Air Liquide.
Under ambient non-oxygen deficient environments, the OMS will display 20.9%.
As the sensor ages, the reading may decrease in value. To adjust the reading

Sensor Verification to Nitrogen
ETS-Lindgren recommends challenging the OMS with nitrogen every
6 to 12 months.
The filter on the OMS has a 1/4-in male tube fitting designed to connect sample
tubing from a nitrogen cylinder. Expose the OMS to nitrogen using the
on-demand regulator. The reading will drop off to 1% or below in less than
one minute when the sensor is exposed to pure nitrogen. The system will recover
to 20.9% when the nitrogen is removed.
