MF420-O-Zr

The oxygen sensor MF420-O-Zr measures the oxygen concentration directly in the gas mixture and thus the oxygen partial pressure (absolute oxygen content). The measurement method is based on a dynamic process in two zirconium dioxide slices, which form a hermetically sealed chamber. The entire measuring range is linear.

Since the sensor monitors its function during operation and indicates malfunction of the hardware and the sensor element; moreover it is equipped with a function for diagnosis. A second oxygen sensor is not required.

The sensor can be calibrated without reference gas in atmospheric air. The output of the measurement values takes place via an analog (4 - 20 mA or 0 - 10 V) and a digital channel, the latter also transmits the error messages.

Measuring ranges and product specifications

The oxygen sensors of the product family MF420-O-Zr are available for a measuring range of 0.1 to 25 Vol.-% oxygen. Alternatively the sensor is available with an analog interface with 4-20 mA or 0-10 V and additionally has an independent digital output; via the digital channel a downstream logic for the self diagnostic operation can be realized.

Diagnostic function

The measurement signal output is given from two independent channels. The output signal of the analogue channel is linear between 4 and 20 mA (alternatively 0.1 to 10 V). The digital channel carries a pulse-width modulated alternating signal (high phase 5V, low-phase 0V). The length of the low-phase is the benchmark for the oxygen concentration to be computed in the downstream unit. The times are linear and system specific. The monitoring of both channels allows a fail-safe operation without a second sensor.

Functional Test

The probe is designed so that it can check the operation during its proper functioning. For this the test pin is applied to +24 V DC. The test simulates to the probe a 20% lower oxygen concentration. This change must reflect equally in the analog channel.

Certifications

The oxygen measuring device MF420-O-Zr complies with the generic standards DIN EN 50270:2015 type1 and type2 and so with the EMC-directives 2014/30/EU.

Maintenance and Service

The device is delivered already calibrated. The interval of the maintenance meets the safety requirements. However, we recommend at least a six-monthly monitoring and a five-year replacement cycle. The device can be calibrated on fresh air and is supporting electrical as well as manual calibration. For the electrical calibration the test pin is set to +24 VDC. The probe calibrates autonomously on fresh air, within a tolerance range of 10%. Outside the tolerance range of the sensor it can be calibrated manually. Manual calibration is performed by means of a potentiometer inside the housing.
