OXYGEN (O2) DEPLETION MONITOR MODEL TOX-OXY 2

TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS:

• Hospital MRI Rooms • Mechanical Rooms in:

• Liquid Nitrogen Storage Commercial Buildings

• Pharmaceutical Industry Colleges/Universities

• University Labs Sports Facilities

• Blood Banks • Chemical Plants

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

Toxalert’s Model TOX-OXY2 Oxygen Depletion
Monitoring System consists of one or more remote oxygen
sensors and a controller which is normally mounted outside
the monitored room door. The TOX-OXY2 is designed to
continuously monitor the level of oxygen in the room. Once
it detects oxygen levels below normal threshold settings it
demands ventilation and/or signals an audible alarm.

The controllers first stage of “Warning (Purge) stage” acti­vates an amber LED and a set of relay contacts to operate
a fan(s) or other mechanical equipment. The second stage
or “Alarm Stage” activates a red LED, an audible alarm
and an auxiliary set of contacts. A “Purge” switch on the
face of the controller has 2 positions – ON & AUTO.

The remote oxygen sensor(s) Model TOX-O2/1 is continu­ously monitored by the controller for sensor failure. If the
sensor malfunctions, a visual alarm will activate.

FEATURES:

• Warning (purge) stage indication

• Alarm stage indication

• Relay outputs for remote control and alarming

•

Operating range meets ASHRAE recommendations

• Typical sensor life 10 years

• Sensor malfunction indication

• Audible Alarm

• Interface to Automation System

• Multiple sensor inputs optional

• Optional Digital Display of % Oxygen

GUIDE SPECIFICATIONS

Provide a Toxalert Model TOX-OXY2 oxygen depletion Detection and Control systems as
specified.

The oxygen sensor(s) shall have a range of 0 to 25% and a linear 4 to 20mA output signal over its
range. The senor shall be housed in an industrial style explosion proof housing. The sensing
element shall be electro-chemical diffusion barrier type and be designed for ten (10) year ele­ment life. Sensors with a 3 year or less expected life are not acceptable. The sensor shall be pow­ered by low voltage and its 4 to 20mA output shall be directly proportional to the percent of
oxygen being detected. When sensor fails it shall drive its output signal to zero indicating alarm
condition.

The oxygen sensor shall have the following diagnostic light emitting diodes (LED’s): 1) Power; 2)
Sensor Failure; 3) LOOP UP (LED varies in intensity indicating 4 to 20mA loop current to
controller). Sensor shall have volt meter terminals on face of sensor to indicate percent oxygen
being detected.

The controller shall monitor the oxygen sensor(s) and shall have two modes of control. The first
mode, “warning” shall light an amber warning lamp and start the mechanical room ventilation (or
purge) system. The second mode, “alarm,” shall light a red alarm light and sound the audible alarm.
The audible alarm shall have momentary push button silence switch to silence the audible portion
of the alarm. The audible alarm, after being silenced, shall automatically reset and sound again at
the next occurrence.

When the oxygen level drops to 19.5% the “warning” mode shall be activated. When the oxygen
level drops to 18.5% the alarm mode shall be activated. Contact outputs shall be supplied for
“warning” and “alarm” modes. The controller panel front shall include the following labeled indicator
light and control switches.

1. Power to system light.

2. Labeled “warning” level indicator light for each sensor

3. Labeled “alarm” level indicator light for each sensor

4. Audible alarm & silence push button.

5. Purge switch to manually activate the mechanical room ventilation equipment.

6. Sensor malfunction light
