False alarms and premature device failures are issues for some sensors but if the application is detecting safe oxygen levels, the situation is even worse. To address those problems, City Technology developed the 4OXV, an oxygen sensor that incorporates unique vented technology.
Mechanically and electrically compatible with previous generations of City Technology’s 4OX family, the 4OXV’s vented technology and other design improvements reduce lead exhaustion, electrolyte leakage and inappropriate response to environmental variability. These are the three main causes of premature failure of oxygen sensors.
The sensors target industries where reduced or elevated atmospheric oxygen is a potential hazard, such as oil and gas, confined space entry or chemical manufacturing. In these applications, people must be warned instantly if the oxygen level changes.
