2.3Set-up
The analyzer is approved for indoor as well as outdoor use if the ambient temperature remains within
the specified range. Please refer to "Appendix A - Technical Specifications" on page 41.
This portable analyzer configuration is designed to be used on a flat horizontal surface.
The analyzer’s design provides immunity from RFI/EMI by maintaining good conductive contact
between the two halves of the enclosures via a conductive gasket (the smaller enclosure containing
signal processing electronics).
The surfaces contacting the conductive gasket are unpainted. Do not paint these areas. Painting will
negate the RFI/EMI protection.

3Before connecting gas
3.1Necessary considerations
With standard flow-through configuration, the portable analyzers are designed for positive pressure
samples and require connections for incoming sample and outgoing vent lines.
Your analyzer is equipped with two gas ports as highlighted in Figure 4. On the GPR-1200 model, the
Sample In and Sample Out ports are labeled. With the GPR-1100 and GPR-2000 models, assign one
of the ports the vent and the other Sample In.
GPR-Portable Oxygen Analyzer User Manual
Vent behind memory
token receptacle
GPR-1100GPR-2000GPR-1200
Figure 4. Gas ports
The sample inlet and outlet vent gas lines for the GPR-1100 model require 1/8” PTFE / PVDF tubing.
The fittings are self-sealing push-fit fittings.
The sample inlet tubing for ppm portable analyzer models (GPR-1100 and GPR-1200) must be
metallic, preferably stainless steel (SS). The sample vent line may be of SS or hard plastic tubing with
low gas permeability.
PTFE sample inlet tubing is recommended for the GPR-2000 % portable analyzer.
To ensure the best possible operation, a review of the installation is recommended:
a.Sample gas quality
• Is the sensor suitable for gas?
• Is a gas scrubber required?
• Is the sample gas clean and liquid free?
b.Stainless steel tubing (essential for maintaining the integrity of the gas stream for very low ppm
or % level analysis.
NOTE: If operated in potentially contaminated gases, which can interfere with measurement and
reduce the sensor’s life expectancy. Consult PST for recommendations concerning the proper
selection and installation of components.

GPR-Portable Oxygen Analyzer User Manual
3.2Sample gas requirements
All gas analyzers utilizing electrochemical oxygen sensors respond to partial pressure changes in
oxygen. To ensure accurate measurement of the oxygen sample, gas must be presented to the
analyzer at a stable pressure and flow rate.
3.2.1Inlet pressure
For the analyzers designed to measure oxygen in a flowing gas stream, the inlet sample pressure must
be regulated in the range 5...30 psig (0.34...2 barg).
3.2.2Outlet pressure
It is recommended that the sample is be vented to atmospheric pressure or into a flare at atmospheric
pressure. If this is not possible, it should be vented to a pressure that is less than the inlet pressure to
allow the sample gas to flow through the sensor housing.
NOTE: The sensor may be used at a slightly positive pressure (e.g., when sample is vented to a
common exhaust where the pressure might be higher than 1 atmosphere). However, the pressure at
the sensor must remain constant at all times including during the span calibration. This may be
accomplished by using a back-pressure regulator on the vent line of the analyzer.
If assistance is required to configure a measurement at a positive pressure, please contact PST with
full application details for a review.
A sudden change in pressure at the sensor may result in the sensor electrolyte leakage.

4Connect your gas
After reading "3 Before connecting gas" on page 10, follow the procedure below specific to your portable analyzer to connect your gas.
Do not place your finger over the vent (it pressurizes the sensor) to test the flow indicator when
gas is flowing to the sensor. Removing your finger (the restriction) generates a vacuum on the
sensor and may damage the sensor, voiding the sensor warranty.
See Figure 4 on page 10 for port designation
GPR-1100
NOTE: The GPR-1100 analyzer is equipped with quick-disconnect fittings.
1.To ensure gas is venting to atmosphere, connect the vent line to a port.
2.Set the sample gas pressure between 5 and 30 psig (0.34...2 barg).
3.Set your flow rate to 1...2 SCFH (0.5...1 LPM) before connecting gas.
GPR-Portable Oxygen Analyzer User Manual
4.Connect your process gas line to the other port and allow gas to flow for 2...3 minutes to purge
the system.
Your analyzer is now ready for operation.
GPR-1200
NOTE: The GPR-1200 analyzer is equipped with a bypass valve. Ensure it is in the Bypass position
before connection gas.
1.With the bypass valve in the Bypass position, connect your gas line to the Sample In port.
2.Set the sample gas pressure between 5 and 30 psig (0.34...2 barg).
3.Set your flow rate to 1...2 SCFH (0.5...1 LPM) and allow gas to flow for 2...3 minutes to purge the
bypass valve before connecting gas.
Your analyzer is now ready for operation.
GPR-2000
1.Set your flow rate to 1...2 SCFH (0.5...1 LPM).
2.Connect your process gas line to the port using the fitting provided.
3.Start the flow of gas and allow it to flow for 2...3 minutes.
Your analyzer is now ready for operation.
Span calibration gas ports are offered as part of the optional sample systems.
NOTE: If the analyzer is equipped with an optional H₂S scrubber, sample inlet pressure must not
exceed 30 psig (2 barg).
12ProcessSensing.com
Page 19
GPR-Portable Oxygen Analyzer User Manual
4.1Calibration gases
NOTE: It is recommended that you use certified zero and span gases for calibration to ensure the
best measurement readings.
Cylinders of the appropriate certified zero and span gases should be made available for verification of
the analyzer’s performance. Calibration gases will need to be set to the same input pressure and flow
rate as the sample gas to ensure calibration integrity.
4.2Prepare your zero/span gas
Avoid contamination of the zero/span gas cylinder when connecting the pressure regulator. Bleed the
air-filled regulator for a couple of minutes before closing the vent valve of the pressure regulator
(faster and more reliable method of purging the regulator than simply allowing the zero/span gas to
flow through the regulator and the span gas line).
The following components/tools are required to set up a zero/span gas cylinder:
a.Certified zero/span gas cylinder with an oxygen concentration, balance nitrogen, of
approximately 80 % of the full scale range above the intended measuring range.
b.A pressure regulator to enable reduction of gas pressure to between 5 and 30 psig (0.34 and 2
barg).
c.A flow meter (for use only if the analyzer is not equipped with one) to set the flow rate between
1 and 2 SCFH (0.5...1 LPM.
d.Suitable fittings and 1/8” diameter metal tubing to connect the regulator to the inlet of the
analyzer.
Ensure your zero/span gas cylinder valve is closed, then:
1.Install the regulator on the cylinder using good practice.
2.Open the regulator’s exit valve and partially open the pressure regulator’s control knob.
3.Slightly open the cylinder valve.
4.Loosen the nut connecting the regulator to the cylinder and bleed the pressure regulator.
5.Re-tighten the nut connecting the regulator to the cylinder.
6.Adjust the regulator exit valve and slowly bleed the pressure regulator.
7.Open the cylinder valve completely.
8.Set the output pressure between 5 and 30 psig (0.34 and 2 barg) using the pressure regulator’s
control knob.
Do not exceed the recommended pressure. Excessive pressure will make flow adjustment more
difficult.

7.3.3Analyzer calibration
GPR-Portable Oxygen Analyzer User Manual
Figure 13. Default Range display
All electrochemical sensor-based analyzers require periodic calibration. The electrochemical sensor
signal will remain relatively constant throughout its useful life, however, some components in a gas
stream, e.g. sulfides, can adversely affect the sensor causing changes in sensitivity with time. As such,
regular calibration is recommended to ensure accuracy and ascertain the integrity of the sensor (e.g.
weekly intervals to a 3-month maximum).
It is the user’s responsibility to determine the frequency of calibration or verification. This should take
into account the significance of the measurements that are being performed.
Always use good calibration practices.
• Calibrate the analyzer at or close to the temperature and pressure of the sample gas
• Use known reference gases or fresh air
• Allow suitable stability time especially when making significant changes in measurement value (e.g.
20.9 % to 0.0 %). See the table below.
Table 4: Example stability times
Condition exampleTypical stability time
<1 % to air (20.9 %)<3 minutes
Air (20.9 %) to 0.1%<30 seconds
Air (20.9 %) to 0.01%<2 minutes

The sensor serial number can be seen in the menu as shown below:
NOTE: Entering a new serial number will reset calibration (span and zero) to default values and
erase the Calibration Log.
To change the sensor serial number:
1.Use to select Sensor SN=00000000.
The display will change as shown below in Figure 15.

Figure 15. Sensor serial number display
2.Enter your sensor serial number by using or to edit the value.
3.Press to progress to the next digit or to move to the previous digit.
4.When you have entered your sensor serial number’s last digit, press to Accept the new
serial number.
Zero and span vs span calibration
Electrochemical oxygen sensors generate an electrical current that is linear or proportional to the
oxygen concentration in a sample gas. In the absence of oxygen the sensor exhibits an absolute zero,
i.e. the sensor does not generate a current output in the absence of oxygen. Given the properties of
linearity and an absolute zero, a single point calibration is possible.
Zero calibration is required for any measurement below the analyzer’s lowest measurement range.
Span calibration is required routinely for accurate measurements of oxygen.
NOTE: Zero calibration should always be carried out before a span calibration.
ProcessSensing.com23

GPR-Portable Oxygen Analyzer User Manual
Zero calibration
The zero calibration adjustments are limited to 30 % of the most sensitive range. All analyzers are QCtested to confirm the zero calibration. Should you observe a zero calibration error more than 30 % of
the lowest range, we recommend first:
• Check the sample system for any possible leaks
• Confirm the integrity of the zero gas
• Ensure the analyzer has been given enough time to stabilize on the zero gas
• Ensure CLIP = OFF. Refer to " Clipping" on page 29 for information.
If adequate time is not allowed for the analyzer to establish the true baseline and a ZERO calibration
is performed, the analyzer will likely display a negative reading in the sample mode when exposed to
zero gas. If a negative reading is observed, we recommend repeating the ZERO calibration.
To perform a zero calibration:
1.Enter the Calibration menu and select Zero Calibrate.
The analyzer will switch to Zero Cal mode and display the live readings.
Figure 16. Zero calibration display
2.Once gas readings are stable you can Accept or Abort the calibration.
The calibration will Pass or Fail and the analyzer will return to normal operation at the configured
range.
During calibration ensure stability of readings, secure gas connections and supply of suitable
reference gas.
Span calibration
To perform a Span Calibration, enter the Calibration menu and select Span Calibration.
Figure 17. Span gas display
In the sub-menu, set the Span Gas value. If using certified cylinder gas, this can be found on the
certificate that was supplied with the cylinder:

1.Use to progress to the next digit or to move to the previous digit; use and to
edit the values.
2.Now select the calibration gas units (% or ppm).
3.When you press , the analyzer will switch to the appropriate range and display the live
readings.
NOTE: When a Span or Zero Cal starts, only "Abort" when is shown until the reading is stable,
then "Accept" when appears.
Figure 18. Span calibration display
During calibration ensure stability of readings, secure gas connections and supply of suitable
reference gas.
Once gas readings are stable you can Accept or Abort the calibration. The calibration will Pass or Fail
and the analyzer will return to normal operation at the configured range.
If a first span calibration receives a Pass this indicates the measurement was within acceptable limits.
Subsequent span calibrations will pass when output is between 70 % and 115 % of the first span
calibration.
A first span calibration will Fail if the sensor is weak. This is indicated with a measurement outside of
the acceptable range. An alert in the form of a persistently blinking error message on the analyzer’s
Home screen will indicate a weak sensor.
Subsequent span calibrations will fail if the output is lower than 80 % of the first span calibration, if it
drops by 30 % of the first span calibration, or if it increases above the first span calibration by 15 %.
This could be caused by a bad first calibration or a bad sensor.
If your span calibration fails, use the Reset Calibration function.
NOTE: If using a ppm sensor we do not recommend exposure of the sensor to ambient air as it will
significantly degrade the sensor life.

A 9 V DC/AC battery charger is supplied with your analyzer. It can enable indefinite operation whilst
the analyzer is plugged in, and continuous operation during the 12-hour charging cycle.
All analyzers, whether General Purpose or Hazardous Area, must
be charged in a Safe Area only.
The analyzer’s charging circuit accepts only 9 V DC from any standard AC 110 V or 220 V adapter
(with positive supply in the center of the female charging jack).
When your analyzer’s battery requires a recharge, a Low LED will light up, indicating there are 72
hours of battery life remaining.
NOTE: The battery must be recharged within the 72-hour window to prevent permanent damage.
To charge your battery:
1.Unless the analyzer is being used while charging, press to turn it off.
2.Plug the 9 V DC adapter supplied with your analyzer to a 110 V or 220 V outlet.
3.Connect the jack to your analyzer’s charging port, which is located at the bottom
as shown in Figure 24
The Charge LED at the front of the analyzer will be illuminated during the charging cycle.
Figure 24. Battery charging input
ProcessSensing.com31

8Maintenance
The portable analyzer will provide reliable and fault-free service with regular maintenance and
calibration.
During periods without use, the sensor should be purged with nitrogen or argon gas to preserve the
sensor life.
• GPR-1100: This model has self-sealing connectors to trap purge gas preserving the sensor
• GPR-1200: This analyzer requires valve operation, to protect the sensor from depletion the valve
must be in the “Bypass” position
• GPR-2000: The % sensor in this analyzer will not deplete with exposure to open air.
Do not attempt to make repairs to the analyzer. This will void the
warranty and may result in electrical shock, injury, or damage. All
servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
Some parts of your portable analyzer may require replacement due to normal wear. For a full list of
replaceable parts and item codes, please refer to "Appendix G - Spare Parts" on page 55.
8.1Replace your sensor
To maintain performance, the sensor in your portable analyzer will require replacement. Sensor life is
application dependent.
When your sensor reaches the end of its serviceable life, calibration can no longer be performed and
the sensor must be replaced.
Depending on the application, our EC sensors can last between 12 and 24 months. Sensor life is a
combination of shelf and operational life. Shelf-life is typically 3...6 months when stored in an inert
environment. Factors that affect sensor life include:
• Sample gas contaminations i.e. acid gases and/or moisture
• The oxygen concentration level being measured - the higher the concentration the shorter the
sensor life
• Sample gas temperature - a sample gas that is very dry or has an elevated temperature can lead to
the electrolyte drying out and a shorter sensor life.
ProcessSensing.com33
Page 40
GPR-Portable Oxygen Analyzer User Manual
Figure 25. Sensor performance chart
A regular program of calibration will mitigate against sudden sensor failure. It is advisable to establish
a program of preventative maintenance to ensure process downtime is kept to a minimum or avoided.
The protective plugs on your sensor should only be removed when your portable analyzer is installed
and ready to begin gas measurement.
Refer to "3 Before connecting gas" on page 10 for the sensor installation procedure.
8.2Routine cleaning
During sensor replacement, it is recommended that light cleaning of electrical contacts is carried out.
Never use chemical cleaning agents, solvents or high pressure water or steam to clean the
equipment. Do not submerge in water.
To perform routine cleaning:
1.Use a clean cloth that is damp with water to wipe away dust and dirt from the outside of the unit.
2.Dry the analyzer with a clean, dry cloth.
34ProcessSensing.com
Page 41
GPR-Portable Oxygen Analyzer User Manual
8.3Routine inspection of sensor housing
The maximum interval between routine inspections should be determined with consideration of the
application and importance of the measurement.
The interval should be reassessed on a regular basis and can be extended and reduced as the process
control requires.
This can be carried out during sensor replacement. To perform routine inspection:
1.Ensure the gas entry and vent ports on the sensor housing are not obstructed.
2.Inspect the sensor housing seal and replace it if damage is visible.
To replace the sensor housing seal:
1.Using a screwdriver, loosen the enclosure screws to remove the front cover.
2.Loosen the star wheel underneath the sensor assembly by turning it counter-clockwise until the
top sensor assembly is loose, as shown in Figure 26a.

8.4Troubleshooting
• Ensure the correct calibration gas is used when performing a validation or calibration of your
analyzer. This will prevent unpredictable operation and incorrect readings.
• The calibration gas should be within range of your portable analyzer, typically 100 ppm for the
0...1 % range analyzer, and 20.9 % for the 0...25 %. See the PST Factory calibration certificate supplied with your module for specific calibration gas values.
• A faulty sensor or one that is incorrectly installed will display ‘FLT’ on your analyzer’s display.
• Do not expose the sensor to moisture in an non-powered state. If this happens, allow the sensor
to dry out, and if necessary, apply clean dry inert gas:

• If workers are exposed to concentrations above the exposure limit they must
use the appropriate, certified respirators.
• Apron, face shield Wear gloves. Gloves must be resistant to corrosive materials.
Nitrile or PVC gloves are suitable. Do not use cotton or leather gloves.
• Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably practicable this should be
achieved by the use of local exhaust ventilation and good general extraction. If
these are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of particulates and any vapor
below occupational exposure limits suitable respiratory protection must be worn.
• Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating, drinking,
smoking or using toilet. Promptly remove soiled clothing and wash thoroughly
