Oxygen Detector
The oxygen detector includes the detector housing and sensor.
Detector Housing
The detector housing protects the sensing components within the housing. Use the
mounting threads at the top of the housi ng to screw the oxygen detector into the bottom
conduit hub of the junction box. Use the removable cap near the bottom of the housing to
access the sensor for maintenance or replacement. The cap protects the sensor from
damage and includes a flame arrestor which contains any sparks wh ich may occu r withi n
the detector housing. A cap gasket seals the interface between the housing and cap. The
flame arrestor guard is permanently bonded to the cap.
Two wires extend from the top of the detector housing. Use these wires to connect the
oxygen detector to the amplifier . The housing includes sockets installed on a circuit board.
These sockets accept the sensor’s two pins to secure the sensor within the detector
housing. The circuit board with the sockets conditions the sensor’s signal before the signal
reaches the amplifier.
