8 INTRODUCTION
8.1 SERIAL NUMBER
The type plate with the serial number is fixed on the left side of the analyser’s housing.
Please indicate always this serial number in case of questions or when purchasing spare parts.
8.2 POWER SUPPLY
The internal power supply of the Oxygen Analyser PMA 50 Ex is reversible 115/230V AC, with
40Hz to 60Hz. Exact indications are to be found on the type plate. Variations of the power supply
of -15% to +10% do not effect the function of the analyser.
9 APPLICATION
The Oxygen Analyser PMA 50 Ex is suitable for the continuous measurement of oxygen in particle-free and dry sample gases with a maximum dew point of 5°C.
The features of the anaylser are safe operation, accuracy and low maintenance.
The measurement is based on the physical principle of the magneto-dynamic oxygen measuring
cell and is one of the most exact quantitative methods of oxygen determination within the range
of 0-100 Vol.% oxygen.
There is a direct flow against the measuring cell which has got a low volume of only 2 ml (small
stagnant volume). Further characteristics are robustness, extremely small drift, fast response
time (T90 < 5 sec.) and negligible cross sensitivities to other sample gas components.
Flow variations within a range of 0 Nl/h to 60 Nl/h air result in a changement of the oxygen indication which is smaller than 0,2 Vol % O2.
Measurements in flue gases and in inerting installments are some typical applications for the
PMA 50 Ex within a great variety of other measurement tasks.

11 DESCRIPTION
The main part of the PMA 50 Ex is the magneto-dynamic oxygen measuring cell.
This measuring principle is one of the most precise quantitative methods for determination of the
oxygen contents in the range of 0-100 Vol.% O2.
The Oxygen Analyser PMA 50 Ex is destined for stationary operation. The mounting into a EEx de IIC T5 housing 1 with ventilate arrestors in the sample gas inlet and outlet 6 makes it possible
to install the analyser in hazardous area of group II category 2. Equipment with protection (s. type
plate) II 1/2 G EEx de [ia] IIC T5 (option) is suitable to measure explosive gases of group II
category 1.
The analyser is thermostated and regulated to a transmitter temperature of +55°C. The temperature controller is built in that way that the low-voltage part is separated from the 230V capacity
part via an optoelectronic coupler with no-voltage releasing magnet.
A fast and homogeneous conduction of temperature is guaranteed by large-surface heating elements mounted on the transmitter surface.
An overheating of the transmitter to more than 72°C is avoided by a non-reversible thermal fuse.
The transmitter is equipped with an isolating cap in order to accumulate the heat and isolate the
transmitter.
Figure 1 shows the Oxygen Analyser PMA 50 Ex in front view and side view.
Figure 1 PMA 50 Ex Oxygen Analyser
A window in the housing of the analyser enables you to control the indications of the measured
value 2, the status LEDs 4 and 5 as well as the measuring range LEDs 13 and 14.

NOTE!
The enclosure purging has to flow off atmospherically free!
Every operational control is accessable from outside and guarantees a simple and user-friendly
handling during calibration and change-over of the measuring range.
The operational controls are:
Adjustment of measuring range span value 10,
Range switch 11 and
Adjustment zero point 12.
The oxygen display of the PMA 50 Ex is effected by a two-scale analogue instrument 2, with
ranges of 0-30 Vol% and 0-100 Vol % O2. A digital display 3 is integrated into the analogue display. Here, the oxygen value is indicated in a range of 0-100Vol% with a resolution of 0,1Vol%.
The change-over of the measuring range is to be done via the range switch 11. The measuring
range chosen is displayed by a respective LED 13 on the front plate of the PMA 50 Ex and via a
potential free contact (see Fig. 5) to external.
The selection of the measuring range can also be effected externally. The LED 14 on the front
plate of the analyser signals the remote measuring range control in connection with a respective
measuring range LED.
The functioning of the analyser heating is indicated by the flashing LED 5.
The PMA 50 Ex has got a collective status output as standard. This is a potential-free change-
over contact in ‘Safety-First’ switching. The breaking capacity is 200mA with 48V DC or 2A with
250V AC. The state is displayed via status-LED 4. The following status signals are given:
Light source defective,
measuring cell not coupled,
flow failure <5 / >80Nl/h,
power supply error control,
mains voltage breakdown,
transmitter temperature <+45°C / >+60°C,
failure measuring range selection
11.1 PMA 50 EX/P/PD-1-50 WITH PRESSURE COMPENSATION AND ENCLOSURE PURGING (WITHOUT SIL-CERTIFICATION)
In case of barometric or process originated pressure variations, the PMA 50 Ex can be equipped
with a special pressure compensation. The compensation can be effected within a pressure
range of 0,6 – 1,5 bar abs.. Thereby errors in measurement caused by pressure variations can
be eliminated.
Additionally the analyser is equipped with an enclosure purging via ventilate arrestors in the inlet
and outlet. The enclosure purging is necessary in case of corrosive sample gas and / or pressure
above 1,1 bar abs.. In case of a leackage in the analyser pressure can not be built up and in case
of additionally corrosive sample gas the analyser will not be damaged. The necessary purge gas
quantity is 10 – 60 Nl/hr corresponding to the adjusted sample gas quantity and the purge gas
inlet pressure is max. 100 mbar.
Gas sampling and gas conditioning technology 9-3.15-ME
14
NOTE!
For excess pressure operation (>100 mbar) an enclosure ventilation according to the ex-certificate is necessary. For additionally corrosive
sample gas an enclosure purging is necessary. Both have to flow off
atmospherically free!
11.2 PMA 50 EX/P/PD WITH PRESSURE COMPENSATION (WITHOUT SILCERTIFICATION)
In case of barometric or process originated pressure variations, the PMA 50 Ex can be equipped
with a special pressure compensation. The compensation can be effected within a pressure
range of 0,6 – 1,1 bar abs.. Thereby errors in measurement caused by pressure variations can
be eliminated.
11.3 OPTION ZERO SUPPRESSION (WITHOUT SIL-CE RTIFICATION)
A zero suppression is possible for devices with pressure compensation within a range of 1% to
97% O2. The suppressed measuring range depending on the suppression is lying on the position
of a standard measuring range. The factory provided adjusted suppression can be switched on
and off via an actuator at the terminals 22 resp. 23 inside of the connection box of the analyser
(see Fig. 5). After switching off the original measuring range again is active.
11.4 OPTION ENCLOSURE PURGING OR VENTILATION
For measurement of corrosive gases it is recommandable to equip the analyser with an enclosure
purging. This reduces the risk of a destruction of the analyser by corrosion in case of leaky gas
ways. For this please choose option part number 05A9000 ( 2 x ventilate arrestors). The necessary purge gas quantity is 10 – 60 Nl/hr corresponding to the adjusted sample gas quantity and
the purge gas inlet pressure is max. 100 mbar.
In case of elevated inlet pressure of 1,1bar up to max. 1,5bar abs. also one ventilate arrestor
according to the ex-certificate (see appendix) is required. For this choose option with part number
05A9005. For elevated inlet pressure of 1,1bar up to max. 1,5bar abs. and corrosive sample gas
the analyser has to be equipped with option part number 05A90000 (enclosure purging). The
necessary purge gas quantity is 10 – 60 Nl/hr corresponding to the adjusted sample gas quantity
and the purge gas inlet pressure is max. 100 mbar.

12 MEASURING PRINCIPLE
Oxygen is a gas with a significant paramagnetic susceptibility. The molecules of oxygen are attracted much more strongly by a magnetic field than the molecules of other gases.
The measuring principle shown in the following is benefitting from these characteristics of the
oxygen. The great advantage of the paramagnetic measuring principle is the highly reduced cross
sensitivity of the measurement to other components in the sample gas.
Figure 2 shows the diagram of the measuring cell as well as the optical system for the detection
of the dumbbell’s movement.
Figure 2 Scheme of the measuring cell and optical signal processing
The measuring cell consists of two nitrogen-filled spheres which are arranged in the form of a
dumbbell. In the dumbbell’s central point of rotation, a small mirror is placed. The dumbbell is
surrounded by a wire coil needed for the compensation procedure. The described system is fixed
rotationally symmetrical inside a glass tube via a tightening strap out of platinum and is srewed
up with two pole pieces .
Two permanent magnets are producing an inhomogeneous magnetic field. When oxygen is flowing in, the molecues of the oxygen are drawn into the magnetic field. In consequence, the lines of
electric flux on the cuneiform pole pieces are compressed. The nitrogen-filled diamagnetic
sheres are pushed out of the magnetic field. This causes a rotation of the dumbbell. The rotation
is detected via an optical system consisting of mirror , projection LED and photoelectric cell
.
In case the dumbbell is pushed out of the magnetic fieild, the tension of the photoelectric cell is
immediately changed. The measuring amplifiers and are producing a respective current
which develops via the wire coil on the dumbbell an electro-magnetic load moment. The load
moment is resetting the dumbbell into its zero position.
