Introduction MX300 Options for alternate display configuration). An integral battery life indicator is displayed “on demand” with the MX300. The instrument is powered by three AA alkaline batteries and is designed to operate for 2000 hours in non-alarm state. Oxygen analysis is linear across the single range of 0-100% using Teledyne’s class R17MED oxygen sensor. A unique sensor failure alarm is incorporated which warns the user if the sensor signal is lost or low. When this occurs,

Introduction MX300 alarm set points if appropriate. Using a microprocessor allows for easier setting of alarms, automatic calibration, and self-diagnosis. The oxygen level is calculated and then displayed on the liquid crystal display (LCD) on the front panel. In the MX300 monitor, user-programmed high and low alarm set points are stored in random access memory (RAM), which resides within the microprocessor. The oxygen level calculated by the microprocessor is compared to these set poi
