PAROX 1200 Paramagnetic O2 sensor for precise and maintenance-free operation Description The PAROX 1200 paramagnetic oxygen sensor module is designed for incorporation in your analyzersystems or for the solution of oxygen measuring problems using a microprocessor or a PLC-based system. The sensor module is maintenance-free, have a long lifetime, give a rapid and accurate signal response and is virtually insensitive to other gases. It has a compact design which meets high quality standards and easy implementation. Measuring principle Paramagnetic sensor module works on the principle of oxygen partial pressure measurement with a rotatable glass dumbbell. The sensor is heated up to 55°C. Oxygen is one of the few gases showing significant paramagnetic properties which can be used for its measurement using the following method: A small glass dumbbell filled with nitrogen is placed in an inhomogeneous magnetic field within the measuring cell. The system’s static position is defined by a light beam, a mirror on the dumbbell and a photo detector. The dumbbell is diamagnetic and tends to turn away from the magnetic field. The paramagnetic oxygen molecules of the sample gas, however, are drawn into the magnetic field, either displacing the dumbbell or forcing it to turn in the opposite direction. The turning is stopped by an opposite magnetic field generated by the means of a coil around the dumbbell, the signal of the photo detector (deviation of the dumbbell from its static position) determines the necessary current intensity. The difference between the current when pure nitrogen is flowing and the current when the sample gas is flowing across the measuring cell is proportionate to the concentration of oxygen in the sample gas 1/3
