Model 210BR

Since 2004 the model 210BR percent oxygen analyzer and the 2010BR trace oxygen analyzer have been the unquestioned market leaders, the industry-standard hazardous area oxygen analyzers. Over the years it has been continuously refined to the point that it now provides every feature you can possibly need – and many that you may not have thought of - in a compact, easily installed low-cost package. Many thousands of these analyzers are operating to specification in the harshest environments all over the country.

The 210BR is built with exactly the same cell block as the best-selling 2010BR trace oxygen analyzer. All sample handling components – the flow meter, needle valve and a four-way sample/span selection valve – are integrated into a solid metal block. Connections between them are drilled passages. The result is a highly reliable sample system with all necessary components provided, and very fast response.

AMI makes several versions of its patented metal-bodied sensor for percent ranges. The P-2 sensor uses a basic electrolyte for inert background gases, while the P-3 sensor uses an acidic electrolyte for background gases that contain CO2. The P-3 resists H2S up to 10ppm H2S content, while the P-5 can resist up to 500ppm of H2S.

The sensor is immediately accessible on the front panel of the analyzer, and can be replaced in seconds. It is not necessary to expose the sensor to air unshorted as is the case with most analyzers, thus further reducing the time from installation to operation. As a result, although a span gas port is provided, it is practical to accurately and quickly calibrate this analyzer on air.

For low temperature operation an integral explosion-proof heater can be supplied. This unit directly heats the cell block and thus is extremely efficient, allowing operation off a solar panel system down to -20°F. For extreme environments down to -40°F, an outer insulated enclosure can be supplied, but no additional power is required.

The analyzer is approved by CSA for operation in a Class 1 division 1 Group BCD hazardous area with a flammable gas as the sample. No additional safety barriers are needed. The analyzer can be calibrated and sensor replaced without declassifying the area because the analytical electronics are intrinsically safe, protected by internal safety barriers.

The electronic and software package is exceptionally complete, and all features are provided as standard with no additional cost (except for the heater). It is capable of operating off a battery and solar panel, and it logs power brown outs and failures should they occur. It tracks the temperature of the analyzer and the sensor. It tracks the life of the sensor and indicates how much life is left. It logs the calibration history. It logs the readings over its operational (output) range.
