INTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting the Bazooka Probe™ for your atmosphere control
applications.

The Bazooka Probe™ represents a dramatic change in sampling oxygen sensor
technology. It has been designed primarily for use in measuring systems as
applied to endothermic generators, but is also useful in applications where high
temperatures may have adverse effects on both life and performance, such as
sintering.

The Bazooka Probe™ is a descendant of the original Gold Probe™ with the same
patented electrode construction. It is the product of a team of design and
application engineers, each with over twenty years of atmosphere control
experience. The SSi engineering team has long recognized that the sensor is the
most critical component in the atmosphere control system and has traditionally
been the weakest link. Now, reliability, repeatability, and accuracy are assured
with the inclusion of the Bazooka Probe™.

FEATURES

The Bazooka channels a small sample to the patented probe measuring point,
thence into an integral micro isolating well which then vents the sample to the
combustion chamber of the generator, or the interior hot wall, in the case of
furnaces.

There is no cool area where soot can be deposited.

There is a tiny buffering volume separating the probe from the sample exit, so
response is fast.

Flow restriction is negligible, so a sampling pump is not usually necessary.

With a low initial price and a liberal warranty, the Bazooka can also be rebuilt and
re-certified for a modest investment.

The Bazooka is a direct replacement for most existing sensors.
The 1” NPT sealing gland is easily plumbed into existing installations.
