Which sensor from the LuminOx family do I need?

We held our first weekly #SensorFAQs series across all of our Social media channels on Tuesday 7th May.

We’ll be sharing Frequently Asked Questions we receive from our customers to help provide expert insights into our product range, the sensor industry and more.

This week we answer the question: ‘Which sensor from the LuminOx family do I need?‘

Answers

#SensorFAQs – Q1 1/6 | The LOX-02, LOX-02-S and LOX-02-F are gaseous optical 0-25% oxygen sensors from the LuminOx family. All three sensors are of similar technical specification and are differentiated by their housing design. https://t.co/RzBYHzboWZ

#SensorFAQs – Q1 2/6 | LOX-02 = Original diffusion type; base is NOT sealed.

Designed to be immersed completely in the sample gas environment. Note, the base of the sensor is not gas-tight. https://t.co/RzBYHzboWZ

#SensorFAQs – Q1 3/6 | LOX-02-S = Sealed diffusion type. Mechanical size change; base has been sealed.

The sensor’s face with the protective membrane can be in the sample gas environment, while the base can remain external to the environment. https://t.co/RzBYHzboWZ

#SensorFAQs – Q1 4/6 | LOX-02-F = Flow-through type. Different housing style; base has been sealed.

Allows for the measurement gas to be sampled into the sensor from the process environment. This design has improved the sensor response time to <10s, at recommended flow rate. https://t.co/RzBYHzboWZ

#SensorFAQs – Q1 5/6 | The LOX-02-S and LOX-02-F are improvements upon the original LOX-02 housing design. Sealing the base allows for flexibility in positioning the sensor, particularly when closed-loop sampling is required, or there are space constraints. https://t.co/RzBYHzboWZ

#SensorFAQs – Q1 6/6 | Dimensionally all three sensors are different, however they all share the same footprint and electrical pin-out. There are no software changes, so it is possible to use a LOX-02-S or LOX-02-F in place of the older LOX-02. https://t.co/RzBYHzboWZ
