Since 2004 the Model 2010BR has been the unquestioned market leader, the industry-standard hazardous area trace oxygen analyzer. 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.
Trace oxygen analyzers are essentially leak detectors. AMI’s patented cell block allows the analyzer to be built with almost no possibility of internal leaking, with minimal volume and with front- panel sensor access. All sample handling components – the flow meter, needle valve and a four-way sample/span/off 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 a very fast “come-down” time – when a sensor is replaced, or calibrated on air with a 1 minute exposure (at 70°F), it takes about 15 minutes for it to come down to below 10ppm. Competitive analyzers typically take hours.
The AMI oxygen sensor is inherently faster than competitive sensors due to its metallic body and large active electrode area. The standard T2 sensor is also naturally resistive to hydrogen sulfide up to 10ppm H2S over its warrantied life, while the T4 is capable of resisting up to 500ppm H2S, with no scrubber material required, and hence no maintenance or leakage issues.
