Oxygen concentrators are a key component in many medical and industrial applications, especially when integrated with ozone generators and injection skid systems. For users of the OXO-style oxygen concentrators like OXO6, OXO8, and OXO10 models, ensuring optimal oxygen purity is crucial for performance and safety. That’s where our replacement timing board, equipped with an O2 purity sensor and relay output, comes in. This advanced board is designed to ensure the efficient monitoring of oxygen purity levels, providing real-time alerts when those levels drop below 85%.
Why Monitor Oxygen Purity?
Maintaining a high level of oxygen purity is critical, especially in systems where oxygen is the primary input, such as ozone generation or therapeutic oxygen delivery. Low oxygen purity can compromise the performance of the system and may indicate underlying issues such as leaks, compressor failure, or sieve bed problems.
The new replacement timing board for OXO-style concentrators adds an extra layer of monitoring. When O2 purity drops below 85%, the normally open relay output closes, triggering a connected alarm system to notify the end-user of the issue. This feature ensures that users can take immediate action, whether for maintenance or repair, minimizing downtime and ensuring consistent system performance.
Features of the Timing Board with O2 Purity Sensor
- Relay Output for O2 Purity Alerts:
- The relay is programmed to close once oxygen purity falls below the critical 85% threshold. This allows for easy integration into external alarm or monitoring systems, giving you peace of mind that your equipment is functioning properly.
- Seamless Integration:
- This board is compatible with OXO6, OXO8, and OXO10 models, as well as TOX series concentrators, used in ozone generator systems and other applications. It’s a plug-and-play solution that provides a simple upgrade path for your existing equipment.
- Continuous Operation:
- One of the unique aspects of this oxygen concentrator system is that it will never shut down automatically due to purity or pressure issues. Instead, the machine continues running while alerting the user with a loud audible alarm when problems arise. This way, you avoid unexpected shutdowns while still being notified of potential problems.
- Multiple Alarm Indicators for Easy Troubleshooting:
- Flashing Green LED (Top LED): This indicates that the unit is building up its oxygen purity and preparing for use.
- Solid Green LED: When the system reaches at least 87% purity, this LED lights up, signifying that the unit is ready for operation.
- Flashing Yellow LED (Bottom LED): This alarm is triggered by pressure issues. If the internal pressure falls outside the operating range of 4.0 – 29.0 PSI, this LED will flash, alerting you to a possible tubing disconnection or leak.
- Solid Yellow LED (Bottom LED): A solid yellow light indicates a drop in oxygen purity below 87%, which could be due to a weak compressor, a sieve bed issue, or leaks in the system.
Safe Operation
Despite the alarms and signals indicating oxygen purity or pressure issues, the OXO-style concentrators will continue running until manually turned off. There are only three ways to fully power down the machine:
- Switching off the power button.
- Unplugging or disconnecting the power cord or wiring harness.
- The compressor’s circuit breaker or thermal switch tripping.
This design ensures that the machine will not shut down without intervention, making it ideal for critical applications where continuous operation is necessary, but monitoring and maintenance alerts are still crucial.
Conclusion
The replacement timing board with an O2 purity sensor is a must-have upgrade for anyone using OXO6, OXO8, OXO10, or TOX series oxygen concentrators. With its purity monitoring and relay output feature, it provides an added level of control and reliability, ensuring you are always informed about the performance of your oxygen generation system. Whether you’re using it in an ozone generator, injection skid system, or for other critical applications, this upgrade is designed to maintain the integrity and functionality of your concentrator for optimal results.
