Introduction MX300-I Options for alternate display configuration). An integral battery life indicator is displayed “on demand” with the MX300-I. 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 occu

Portable Oxygen Monitor Introduction is illuminated on the LCD and the audible and visual alarms are activated whenever a fault is detected. 1.5.1 Sensor The MX300-I uses the Teledyne Class R17MED disposable oxygen sensor. The sensor is made up of a sensing cathode and anode (fuel) immersed in electrolyte and packaged in a small plastic container. Oxygen entering the sensor reacts with the anode and a proportional current is collected at the sensing cathode, which is sent to the e

Introduction MX300-I The oxygen level is calculated and then displayed on the liquid crystal display (LCD) on the front panel. In the MX300-I 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 points, and an alarm activated, if necessary. The audio alarm is used for both the concentration alarms and the sensor disconnects al
