Pressore and Flow
Inlet Pressure: GPR-1500AIS ppm Oxygen Transmitters are designed for flowing samples, equipped with 1/8" bulkhead tube
fitting connections on the side of the unit (unless otherwise indicated, either fitting can serve as inlet or vent) and are intended
to operate at positive pressure regulated to between 5-30 psig.
Caution: If equipped with an optional H2S scrubber, inlet pressure must not exceed 30 psig.
Outlet Pressure: The sample gas vent pressure should be atmospherk.
InstaJlation
Oxygen sensor: DO NOT open the sensor. The sensor contains a corrosive liquid electrolyte that could be harmful if touched
or ingested, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet contained in the Owner's Manual appendix. Avoid contact with any liquid or
crystal type powder in or around the sensor or sensor housing, as either could be a form of electrolyte. Leaking sensors should
be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Mounting: The transmitter is approved for indoor or outdoor use. Mount as recommended by the manufacturero
Power: Supply power to the transmitter only as rated by the specification or markings on the transmitter enclosure. The wiring
that connects the transmitter to the power source should be installed in accordance with recognized electrical standards and so
they are not pinched particularly near the power source and the point where they attach to the transmitter. Never yank wiring
to remove it from a terminal connection. Power consumption is 30 watts, 40 watts with the optional De powered heater.
Operating Temperature: The maximum operating temperature is 45 e on an intermittent basis unless the user is willing to
accept a dramatic reduction in expected sensor life - refer to analyzer specification where expected sensor Iife is specified at
less than 1000 ppm oxygen at 25e and 1 atmosphere of pressure.
Heat: Situate and store the transmitter away from sources of heat.

Principie of Operation
The GPR-1500AIS oxygen transmitter incorporates a variety of ppm
range advanced galvanic fuel cell type sensors. The transmitter is

configured in two sections. The signal processing electronics and sensor are housed in a general purpose NEMA 4X rated
enclosure. The terminals for incoming power, power supply, signal output, alarm relay contacts and intrinsic safety barriers are
mounted on a PCB housed in an explosion proaf enclosure.
The two sets of electronics are interconnected using an explosion proof Y-fitting, explosion proof packing fiber and sealing
cement - see Appendix A. Once connected, the intrinsic safety barriers Iimit the amount of voltage that f10ws to and from the
signal processing electronics effectively preventing an explosive condition and meets the intrinsic safety standards required for
use in Class 1, Division 1, Groups B, C, D hazardous areas.
Advanced Galvanic Sensor Technology
The sensors function on the same principie and are specific for oxygen. They measure the partial pressure of oxygen from low
ppm to 100% levels in inert gases, gaseous hydrocarbons, helium, hydrogen, mixed gases, acid gas streams and ambient airo
Oxygen, the fuel for this electrochemical transducer, diffusing into the sensor reacts chemically at the sensing electrode to
produce an el ectricaI current output proportional to the oxygen concentratjon in the gas phase. The sensor's signar output is
linear over all ranges and remains virtually constant over its useful life. The sensor requires no maintenance and is easily and
safely replaced at the end of its useful life.
Proprietary advancements in design and chemistry add significant advantages to an extremely versatile oxygen sensing
technology. Sensors for low ppm analysis recover from air to ppm levels in minutes, exhibit longer Iife and reliable quality. The
expected life of our new generation of percentage range sensors now range to five and ten years with faster response times
and greater stablity. Another significant development involves expanding the operating temperature range for percentage range
sensors from -30C to 50C.
Electronics
The signar generated by the sensor is processed by state of the art low power mcro-processor based digital circuitry. The first
stage amplifies the signa!. The second stage eliminates the low frequency noise. The third stage employs a high frequency filter
and compensates for signal output variations caused by ambient temperature changes. The result is a very stable signa!.
Sample oxygen is analyzed very accurately. Response time of 90% of fuI! scale is less than 10 seconds (actual experience may
vary due to the integrity of sample line connections, dead volume and f10w rate selected) on all ranges under ambient
monitoring conditions. 5ensitivity is typically 0.5% of full scale low range. Oxygen readings may be recorded by an external
device va the 0-lV signal output jack.
The circuit for the 4-20mA signal output and two adjustable alarms is powered by a DC/OC transformer that requires a 12-28
VDC power source and separate wiring for the outputs. A loop power source is not sufficient to power to the circuito The 4
20mA output is also represented on full scale oxygen readings to an externaI device.
Sample System:
The GPR-1500AIS is supplied wthout a sample conditioning system thereby giving users the option of adding their own or
purchasing a factory designed sample conditioning system. Whatever the choice, the sample must be properly presented to the
sensor to ensure an accurate measurement. Users interested in adding their own sample conditioning system should consult the
factory. Advanced lnstruments lne. offers a fuI! line of sample handling, conditioning and expertise to meet your application
requirements. Contact us at 909-392-6900 or e-mail usatinfo@aii1.com.
Accuracv & Callbration
SinglePoint Calibration: As previously described
the galvanic oxygen sensor generates an eledrical
current proportional to the oxygen concentration in
the sample gas. In the absence of oxygen the sensor
exhibits an absolute zero, e.g. the sensor does not
generate a current output in the absence of oxygen.
Given these linearity and absolute zero properties,
single point calibration fs possible.
Pressure: Because sensors are sensitive to the
partial pressure of oxygen in the sample gas their
output is a function of the number of molecules of
-fEMPeR"lURE
Adlliloced lostrument!!!i loc.
oxygen 'per unit volume'. Readouts in percent are permissible only when the total pressure of the sample gas being analyzed
remains constant. The pressure of the sample gas and that of the calibration gasees) must be the same (reality < 1-2 ps).
Temperature: The rate oxygen molecules diffuse into the sensor is controlled by a Teflon membrane otherwise known as an
'oxygen diffusion limiting barrier' and all diffusion processes are temperature sensitive, the fact the sensor's electrical output
will vary with temperature is normal. This variation is relatively constant 2.5% per oc. A temperature compensation circuit
employing a thermistor offsets this effect with an accuracy of S% or better and generates an output function that is
independent of temperature. There is no error if the calibration and sampling are performed at the same temperature or if the
measurement is made immediately after calibration. Lastly, small temperature variations of 10-150 produce < 1% error.
Accuracy: In Iight of the aboye parameters, the overall accuracy of an analyzer is affected by two types of errors: 1) those
producing 'percent of reading errors', illustrated by Graph A below, such as S% temperature compensation circuit, tolerances
of range resistors and the 'play' in the potentiometer used to make span adjustments and 2) those producing 'percent of full
scale errors', iIIustrated by Graph B, such as 1-2% linearity errors in readout devices, which are realty minimal due to today's
technology and the fact that other errors are 'spanned out' during calibration.
Graph C illustrates these 'worse case' specifications that are typically used to develop an transmitter's overall accuracy
statement of < 1% of fuI! scale at constant temperature or < 5% over t-he operating temperature range. QC testing is typically
< 0.5% prior to shipment.

ERIIORS
EP.1I01lS
Example 1: As llustrated by Graph A any error, play in the multi-turn span pot or the temperature compensaton circuit,
during a span adjustment at 20.9% (air) of full scafe range woufd be multiplied by a factor of 4.78 (100/20.9) if used for
measurements of 95-100% oxygen concentrations. Conversely, an error during a span adjustment at 100% of fuI! scale range is
reduced proportionately for measurements of lower oxygen concentrations.
Zera Calibration: In theolY, the eleetrochemical galvanic fuel cell type oxygen has an absolute zero meaning it produces no
signal output when exposed to an oxygen free sample gas. In realitv, expect the analyzer to generate an oxygen reading when
sampling oxygen free sample gas due to contaminaton or quality of the zera gas; minor leakage in the sample line connections;
residual oxygen dissolved in the sensor's electrolyte; and, tolerances of the electronic components. The lero Offset capability of
the analyzer is limited to 50% of lowest most sensitive range available with the analyzer.
Recommendation 1: lero calibrabon, see Determining True lero Offset below, is recommended only for online analyzers
performing continuous analysis below 5% of the lowest most sensitive range available with a ppm analyzer, e.g. analysis below
0.5 ppm on the 10 ppm range, or below 0.1% (1000 ppm) with a percent analyzer.
Note 1: Once the zero offset adjustment is made, zero calibration is not required again until the sample system connections are
modified, or, when installing a new oxygen sensor. As a result, zera calibration is not practical and therefore not recommended
for higher ranges or portable analyzers.
Determining True lero Offset: Allow the transmtter approximately 24 hours to stabilize with flowing zero gas as evidenced by a
stable reading or horizontal trend on an external recording device.
Note 2: 24 hours is requred to assure the sensor has consumed the oxygen that has dissolved into the electrolyte insi de the
sensor while exposed to air or percentage levels of oxygen. For optimum accuracy, utilize as much of the actual sample system
as possible.
Span Calibration: lnvolves adjusting the transmitter electronics to the sensor's signal output at a given oxygen standard.
Regardless of the oxygen concentration of the oxygen standard used, a typical span calibration takes appraximately 10 minutes.

Adllanced InstrunJents Ine.
Note 3: The amount time required to get the analyzer back on line for normal use is influenced by a.) the level of oxygen
analysis anticipated during normal operation (also determines the initial analyzer seleetion), and, b.) whether the sensor is new
or has been in service tor at least two weeks. General guidelines for analyzers to come online following span calibration and
exposure to a zero/purge!sample gas with an oxygen content below the stated thresholds:
,. measurements aboye 1000 ppm or 0.1% require less than 3 minutes
,. measurements above 100 ppm (parts-per-million analyzer) require less than 10 minutes
;. measurements below 10 ppm (part-per-million analyzer) require 20 minutes if the sensor has been in service at ppm levels
for at least two weeks, and, 60 minutes if the sensor is new assuming the zero/purge!sample gas has an oxygen
concentration below 1 ppm
Recommendation 2: For 'optimum calibration accuracy' calibrate with a span gas approximating 80% of the full scale range
one or two ranges higher than the full scale range of interest (normal use) to achieve the effect illustrated on Graph A and
Example 1. Always calibrate at the sarne temperature and pressure of the sample gas stream.
Note 4: Calibrating with a span gas approximating 10% of the full scale range near the expected oxygen concentraton of the
sample gas is acceptable but less accurate than 'optimum calibration accuracy' method recommended - the rnethod usually
depends on the gas available. calibrating at the same 10% of the full scale range for measurements at the higher end of the
range results in magnification of errors as discussed in Graph A and Exaniple 1 and is not recommended. Of course the user can
(
--always elect at his discretion to accept an accuracy error of 2-3% of full scale range if no other span gas is available.
Air Calibration: Based on the inherent Iinearity of the electrochemical galvanic fuel cell type oxygen sensor enables the user to
calibrate the analyzer with ambient air (20.9% oxygen) and operate the analyzer within the stated accuracy spec on the lowest
most sensitive range available with the analyzer - there is no need to recalibrate the anafyzer with span gas containing a lower
oxygen concentration. calibrating either a ppm or percent analyzer with ambient air (with the exception of Oxygen Purity
Analyzers intended to measure elevated oxygen levels ranging from 50-100% oxygen) on the CAL or 0-25% range meets the
80% criteria discussed in Recommendation 2.
Recommendation 3: Air calibrate the analyzer (with the exception of Oxygen Purity Analyzers intended to measure elevated
oxygen levels ranging from 50-100% oxygen) when operating a percent analyzer, installing and replacing a ppm oxygen sensor,
to verify the oxygen content of a certified span gas or when a certified span gas is not available to calibrate a ppm analyzer
(immediately following air calibration reintroduce a gas with a low oxygen concentration to expedite the return to ppm level
measurements as per Note 3).
Install'ation Considerations
Gas Sample Stream: Ensure the gas stream composition of the application s consistent with the specifications and review the
application conditions before initiating the installation. Consult the factory if necessary to ensure the sample is suitable for
analysis.
Note: In natural gas applications such as extraction and transmission, a low voltage current s applied to the pipeline itself to
inhibit corrosion. As a result, electronic devices can be affected unless adequately grounded.
Contaminant Gases: A gas scrubber and f10w indcator with integral meterng valve are required upstream of the transmitter
to remove interfering gases such as oxides of sulfur and nitrogen or hydrogen sulfide that can produce false readings, reduce
the expected tife of the sensor and void the sensor warranty if not identified at time of order placement. Installation of a
suitable scrubber is required to remove the contaminant from the sample gas to prevent erroneous analysis readings aod
damage to the sensor or optional components. Consult the factory for recommendations concerning the proper selection and
installation of components.

Expected Sensor Lite: With reference to the publish specification located as the last page of this manual, the expected life of
all oxygen sensors is predicated on oxygen concentration 1000 ppm or air), temperature (77F/25q and pressure (1
atmosphere) in "normal" applications. Deviations are outside the specifications and will affect the Iife of the sensor. As a rule of
thumb sensor life is inversely proportional to changes in the parameters.
Optimum Accuracy: Determine if lero Calibration is recommended for your application. If it is lera Calibration should
precede Span Calibration and both should be repeated after the analyzer has been allowed to stabilize, typically 24-36 hours
after installation. For Span Calibration use a certified span gas with an oxygen content (balance nitragen) approximating BO% of
the next higher full scale range aboye the intended measuring range is recommended for optimum accuracy, see Calibration
and Accuracy.
Assuming the initial zera is performed according to the procedure described herein, the analyzer should not require lera
Calibraton again until the either the sensor is replaced or a change is made to the sample system or gas lines, and, it should
not require 5pan Calibration again for up to 3 months under "normal" application conditions as described in the published
specifications. One of the unique features of analyzers based on the electrochemical galvanic fuel cell type oxygen sensor is the
fact that t can be field calibrated at the users discretion to whatever standard of certified span gas the user elects to use.
Zero calibration: In theorv, the oxygen sensor produces no signal output when exposed to an oxygen free sample gas. In
~ expect the transmitter to generate an oxygen reading when sampling oxygen free sample gas due to contamination or
quality of the zero gas; minor leakage in the sample line connections; residual oxygen dssolved in the sensor's electrolyte; and,
tolerances of the electronic components.
lera calibration, see Determining True lera Offset below, is recommended only for online analyzers performing continuous
analysis below 5% of the lowest most sensitive range available with a ppm analyzer, e.g. anatysis below 0.5 ppm on the 10 ppm
range, or below 0.1% (1000 ppm) with a percent analyzer. Note: Once the zera offset adjustment is made, zera calibration is
-ot required again until the sample system connections are modified, or, when installing a new oxygen sensor. As a result, zero
calibration is not practical and therefore not recommended for hgher ranges or portable analyzers.
Determining True Zero Offset: Allow the transmitter approximately 24 hours to stabilize with f10wing zero gas as evidenced by a
stable reading or horizontal trend on an external recording device. Note: 24 hours is required to assure the sensor has
consumed the oxygen that has dissolved into the electrolyte inside the sensor while exposed to air or percentage levels of
oxygen. For optmum accuracy, utilize as much of the actual sample system as possble.
Span Calibration: Involves adjusting the transmitter electranics to the sensor's signal output at a given oxygen standard, e.g.
a certified span gas with an oxygen content (balance nitragen) approximating 80% of the next higher full scale range aboye the
ntended measuring range is recommended for optimum accuracy, see Calibration and Accuracy.
Recommendation: Based on the inherent linearity of the gafvanic oxygen sensor enables the user to calibrate the analyzer
with ambient air (20.9% oxygen) and operate the analyzer within the stated accuracy spec on the lowest most sensitive range
available with the analyzer - there is no need to recalibrate the analyzer with span gas containing a lower oxygen
concentraton.
calibrating either a ppm or percent analyzer with ambient air (with the exception of Oxygen Purity Analyzers intended to
measure elevated oxygen levels rangng fram 50-100% oxygen) on the CAL or 0-25% range meets the 80% criteria discussed
aboye. Air calibrate the analyzer (with the exception of Oxygen Purity Analyzers intended to measure elevated oxygen levels
rangng from 50-100% oxygen) when operatng a percent analyzer, installing and replacing a ppm oxygen sensor, to verify the
oxygen content of a certified span gas or when a certified span gas is not available to calibrate a ppm analyzer (immediately
following air calibraton reintroduce a gas with a low oxygen concentratan to expedite the return to ppm level measurements).
Materials: Assemble the necessary zera, purge and span gases and optional components such as valves, coalescing or
particulate filters, and, pumps as dictated by the application; stainless steel tubing is essential for maintaining the integrity of
the gas stream for ppm and percentage range (above or below ambient air) analysis; hardware for mounting.
Temperature: The sample must be sufficiently cooled before it enters the transmitter and any optional components. A coiled
10 foot length of '14" stainless steel tubing is sufficient for coolng sample gases as hgh as 1,BOooF to ambiento
Pressure &. Flow
9
Advanced Instruments loc.
AII electrochemical oxygen sensors respond to partial pressure changes in oxygen. lhe sensors are equally
capable of analyzing the oxygen content of a f10wing sample gas stream or monitoring the oxygen
concentration in ambient air (such as a confined space such in a control room or an open area such as a
landfill or bio-pond).
sample systems and/or flowing gas samples are generally required for applications involving oxygen
measurements at levels other than ambient air and when the pressure exceeds ambiento In these
situations, the use of stainless steel tubing and fittings is criticaI to maintaining the integrity of the gas
stream to be sampled and the inlet pressure must always be higher than the pressure at the outlet vent
which is normally at atmospheric pressure.
Flow Through Configuration: The sensor is exposed to sample gas that must f10w or be drawn through
metal tubing insidethe transmitter. lhe internal sample system ineludes 1/8" compression inlet and vent
flttings, a stnless steel sensor housing with an o-ring seal to prevent the leakage of air and stainless
steel tubing.
I
Flow rates of 1-5 SCFH cause no appreciable change in the oxygen reading. However, f10w rates aboye 5 SCFH generate
backpressure and erroneous oxygen readings because the diameter of the integral tubing cannot evacuate the sample gas at
the higher f10w rate. The direction the sample gas flows is not important,'thus either tube fitting can selVe as the inlet or vent
just not simultaneously.
A flow indicator with an integral metering valve upstream of the sensor is recommended as a means of controlling the flow rate
of the sample gas. A flow rate of 2 SCFH or 1 liter per minute is recommended for optimum performance.
Caution: Do not place your finger over the vent (it pressurizes the sensor) to test the f10w indicator when gas is f10wing to the
sensor. Removing your finger (the restriction) generates a vacuum on the sensor and may damage the sensor (voiding the
sensor warranty). To avoid generating a vacuum on the sensor (as described aboye) during operation, always select and install
the vent fitting first and remove the vent fitting last.
Applcaton Pressure - Positive: A f10w indicator with integral metering valve positioned upstream of the sensor is
recommended for controlling the sample flow rate between 1-5 SCFH. To reduce the possibility of leakage for low ppm
rneasurements, position a rnetering needle valve upstream of the sensor to control the flow rate and position a flow indicator
downstream of the sensor. If necessary, a pressure regulator (with a metallic diaphragm is recommended for optimum
accuracy, the use of diaphragms of more permeable materials may result in erroneous readings) upstream of the flow control
valve should be used to regulate the nlet pressure between 5-30 psig.
Caution: If equipped with a H2S scrubber, inlet pressure must not exceed 30 psig.
Application Pressure - Atmospheric or Slightly Negative: For accurate ppm range oxygen measurements, an optional
external sampling pump should be positioned downstream of the sensor to draw the sample from the process, by the sensor
and out to atmosphere. A f10w meter is generally not necessary te obtain the recommended flow rate with most sampling
pumps.
Caution: If the transmitter is equipped with an optional flow indicator with integral metering valve or a metering flow control
valve upstream of the sensor - open the metering valve completely to avoid drawing a vacuum on the sensor and placing an
undue burden on the pump.
If pump loading is a consideration, a second throttle valve on the pump's inlet side may be necessary to provide a bypass path
so the sample f10w rate is within the aboye parameters.
Recommendations to avoid erroneous oxygen readings and damaging the sensor:
;;.. Do not place your finger over the vent (it pressurizes the sensor) to test the f10w indicator when gas is f10wing to the
sensor. Removing your finger (the restriction) generates a vacuum on the sensor and may damage the sensor (voiding the
sensor warranty).
)- Assure there are no restrictions in the sample or vent lines
;;.. Avoid drawing a vacuum that exceeds 14" of water column pressure - unless done gradually
,. Avoid excessive f10w rates aboye 5 SCFH which generate backpressure on the sensor.
'" Avoid sudden releases of backpressure that can severely damage the sensor.
,. Avoid the collection of Iiquids or particulates on the sensor, they block the diffusion of oxvgen into the sensor.

Advaneed Instruments Ine.
>- If the transmitter is equipped with an optional integral sampling pump (positioned downstream of the sensor) and a fiow
control metering valve (positioned upstream of the sensor), completely open the flow control metering valve to avoid
drawing a vacuum on the sensor and placing an undue burden on the pump.
Moisture &. Particulates: Installation of a suitable coalescing or particulate filter is required to remove condensation, moisture
and/or particulates from the sample gas to prevent erroneous analysis readings and damage to the sensor or optional
components. Moisture and/or particulates do not necessarily damage the sensor, however, coUection on the sensing surface
can block or inhibit the diffusion of sample gas into the sensor resulting in a reduction of sensor signal output - and the
appearance of a sensor failure when in fact the problem is easily remedied by blowing on the front of the sensor. Consult the
factory for recommendations concerning the proper selection and installation of components.
Gas Connections: Inlet and outlet vent gas lines for ppm analysis require 1/8" or Y4" stainless steel compression flttings; hard
plastic tubing with a low permeability factor can be used percentage range measurements.
Power Connection: Locate the appropriate power source to meet the analyzer or transmitter requirements, ensure that is
properly grounded and meets the area classification.
IMounting tbe Transminer
The GPR-1S00AIS consists of two interconnected enclosures (without the optional
sample conditioning system and panel) and measures 8"H x x 7''D. This
configuration is designed ro be mounted directly to any flat vertical surface, wall or
bulkhead plate with eight (8) of the appropriate screws. To facilitate servicing the
interior af the transmitters, pasition it approximately S feet off ground leve!.
Remove the four (4) screws securing the top section of the enclosure, set them
aside for reinstallation and raise the hnged top section 180
0
until it locks in place.
Locate the mounting holes cast into the enclosure.
Secure the enclosure to a vertical surface approximately S feet from the f100r or a level accessible to service personnel. This
requires the user to supply four (4) additional proper sze screws and anchors.
Caution: Do not remove or discard the gaskets from either the enclosure or junction box. Failure to reinstall either gasket will
void the NEMA 4 rating and RFI protection. The transmitters design provides protection from RFI that is maintained by leaving
specific mating areas of the enclosure unpainted to maintain conduetivity the gasket, top and bottom sections of the enclosure.
These unpainted areas are protected by gaskets and contribute to maintaining the NEMA 4 rating. Do not paint these areas.
Panting will negate the RFI proteetion.
Note: If equipped with the optional H25 sample conditioning system, the transmitter and sample system are mounted to a back
panel which has four (4) holes for mounting the 15-3/4"H x lS-3/4'W x 7"D panel to any vertical flat surface.
Gas Connhections
The with its standard flow through configuraton is designed for positve pressure samples and requires
connectons for incoming sample and outgoing vent Iines. Zero and span inlet ports are offered as part of the optional sample
systems. The user is responsible for calibratan gases and the required components, see belaw.
Flow rates of 1-5 SCFH cause no appreciable change in the oxygen reading. However, flow rates aboye 5 SCFH generate
backpressure and erroneous oxygen readings because the diameter of the integral tubing cannot evacuate the sample gas at
the higher flow rateo A fiow indicator with an integral metering valve upstream of the sensor is recommended as a means of
controlling the flow rate of the sample gas. A f10w rate of 2 SCFH or 1 liter per minute is recommended for optimum
performance.
Caution: Do not place your finger over the vent (it pressurizes the sensor) to test the flow indicator when gas is f10wing to the
sensor. Removing your finger (the restrietion) generates a vacuum on the sensor and may damage the sensor (voiding the
sensor warranty).

Adllaoced lostruments Inc.
1. Caution: Do not change the factory setting until instructed to do in this manual.
2. Designate one of the bulkhead tube fittings as the VENT and the other 5AMPLE.
3. Regulate the pressure as described in Pressure and Flow aboye.
4. Connect a 1/8" vent line to the compression fitting to be used for venting the sample.
5. Connect a 1/8" ZERO, SPAN or SAMPLE line to the fitting designated SAMPLE.
6. If equipped with optional fittings and/or sampie system, connect the ZERO and SPAN gas lines.
7. Allow gas to flow through the transmitters and set the flow rate to 2 SCFH.
8. Note: If equipped with the optional H2S sample conditioning system: Regulate the pressure so that it does not exceed
30 psig use V4" tubing to make the appropriate connections as labeled on the sample panel.
Electrical Connections
Incoming power, power failure and set point alarm, and, output connections are
made to a terminal block mounted on a PeS located in the lower explosion proof
enclosure.
The PeS also includes a transformer to power the alarm relays and intrinsic
safety barriers that limited the amount of voltage going to the upper electronics
enclosure. With proper insulation of the incoming power (see Appendix A), this
configuration the GPR-1500AIS meets the intrinsic safety standards for use in
Class 1, Division 1, Groups A-D hazardous areas.
Caution: The integral 4-20mA converter s internally powered and does not
require external power. DO NOT supply any voltage to either of the two
terminals of the 4-20mA output or the 4-20mA converter will be damaged.
To assure proper grounding, connect the 4-20mA signal output to the externaI device (PLC, DCS, etc.) before attempting any
zero or span adjustments.
Procedure:
Power requirements consist of a two wire shielded cable and a 12-28V DC with negative ground power supply.
1. Unscrew the cone shaped cover from the lower enclosure.
2. 5eparate the shielding from the wires of the cable.
3. Ensure the positive and negative terminals of the power supply are connected to the appropriate terminals of the barrier
strip as marked.
4. Connect the shielding of the cable to the ground screw inside the enclosure. Note: The terminals snap together, making it
possible to detach the section with the ground, install the shielded cable and reinstall.
5. Replace the cover.
6. The 4-20mA current output is obtained by conneeting the current measuring device between the positive and negative
terminalslabeled OUTPUT 4-20mA.
7. To check the signal output of the 4-20mA ElI integrated circuit connect an ammeter as the measuring device and confirm
the output is within O.lmA of 4mA.
8. Caution: To assure proper grounding, connect the 4-20mA signal output to the extemal device (PLC, DCS, etc.) before
attempting any zero or span adjustments.
Installino the Oxvgen Sensor
The GPR-1500AIS ppm Oxygen Transmitter is equipped with an integral oxygen sensor.
They have been tested and calibrated by the manufacturer prior to shipment and are fully
operational from the shipping container.
Caution: AII transmitters must be calibrated once the instaliation has been completed and
periodically thereafter as described below. Following the initial installation and calibration,
allow the transmitters to stabilize for 24 hours and calibrate with certified span gas.

Adllanced In!!itruments Ine.
Caution: DO NOT open the oxygen sensor. The sensor contains a corrosive liquid electrolyte that could be harmful if touched
or ingested, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet contained in the OWner's Manual appendix. Avoid contact with any liquid or
crystal type powder in or around the sensor or sensor housing, as either could be a form of
electrolyte. Leaking sensors should be disposed of in manner similar to that of a common battery in
accordance with local regulations.
Procedure:
1. The sensor has not been installed at the factory (in standard configuration there are no valves
to isolate the sensor) and it will be necessary to install the sensor in the field.
2. Caution: Do not change the factory settings until instructed to do in this manual.
3. Connect the gas lnes as previously described.
4. Purge the oxygen trapped in the newly connected gas lines for 3-5 minutes.
5. Flow zero gas or sample gas with a low ppm oxygen c:oncentration to the analyzer at the
predetermined flow rate of 2 SCFH.
6. Using the 5/16 wrench supplied loosen but do not remove the clamp bolt located under the
sensor housing, see photo.
7. Rotate the upper section of the sensor housing 900 to disengage from the clamp.
8. Remove the upper section by pulling it straight up and place it on a smooth surface.
9. Select the AUTO RANGING option from the SAMPLE menu with gas f10wing to the analyzer.
10. Remove the oxygen sensor from the bag and remove the red shorting device (including the gold ribbon) from the PCS
located at the rear of the sensor. Minimize the time the sensor is exposed to ambient airo
11. Immediately place the sensor in the bottom section of the sensor housing with the PCS facing up.
12. lmmediately place the upper section of the sensor housing over the sensor, gently push the upper section downward and
rotate 90 to engage the clamp.
13. Finger tighten the clamp bolt and then tighten it one full turo with the 5/16 wrench to securely lock the two sections of the
sensor housing.
14. The analyzer will OVER RANGE for a short period of time as indicated by the graphical LCD display.
15. Wait until the display shows a meaningful oxygen reading and begins to approach the expected oxygen content of the
sample gas.

lero, Calibratioo
In theory, the oxygen sensor produces no signal output when exposed to an oxygen free sample gas. However, the transmitter
will generate an oxygen reading when sampling oxygen free sample gas due to:
~ Contamination or quality of the zero gas
,. Minor leakage in the sample line connections
,. Residual oxygen dissolved in the sensor's electrolyte
~ Tolerances of the electronic components
Recommendation: lero calibration is recommended only for online analyzers ntended for measurements below 1 ppm on the
10 ppm range and then only when the sample system connections are modified and when installing a new oxygen sensor. lt is
not practical on higher ranges or portable analyzers for the following reasons:
1. Determining the true zero offset reguires the user allow the analyzer approximately 24 hours to stabilize with flowing zero
gas as evidenced by a stable reading with no downward trend on an external recordng device. Note: Approximately 24-36
hours is required to assure the sensor has consumed the oxygen that has dissolved into the electrolyte inside the sensor
while exposed to air or percentage levels of oxygen. For optimum aCcuracy, utilize as much of the actual sample system as
possible.
2. Thus it is not practical to find the true zero offset particularly in the case of applications requiring higher level oxygen
measurements because of the low offset value, normally 50% of the most sensitive range, is not material to the accuracy
of higher level measurements. Nor is it practical to zero a portable analyzer every time it is moved from one sample point
to another.
3. caution: Prematurely zeroing the analyzer can cause a negative reading in both the ZERa and SAMPLE modes.
4. Satisfying users that the zera offset is reasonably acceptable for their application can be accomplished much quicker.
Unless the zero gas is contaminated or there is a significant leak in the sample connections, the analyzer should read less
than 100 ppm oxygen within 10 minutes after being placed on zero gas thereby indicating it is operating normally.
Recommendation: Initiate the DEFAULT ZERa pracedure before performing either alERO or SPAN CAUBRATION.
Procedure:
lero calibration should precede the span calibration and once performed should not have to be repeated with subsequent span
calibrations. Normally, zero calibrations are performed when a new sensor is installed or changes are made in the sample
system connectons.
Refer to Span Calibration below for the detaled procedure. Differences inelude the displays iIIustrated below, substituting a
suitable zero gas for the span gas and the time required to determine the true zera offset of specific oxygen sensor, analyzer
and sample system combination.
The maximum zero calibration adjustment permitted is 50% of the lowest full scale analysis range available. Accordingly, the
analyzers lERa has not been adjusted prior to shipment because the factory conditions are different from the application
condition at the users installation.

The maximum zero calibration adjustment permitted is 50% of the lowest full scale range available. Accordingly, the

Default Zero
The software will eliminate any previous zero calibration adjustment and display the actual the signal output of the sensor at a

representing basically the zero calibration adjustment as described aboye. This feature allows the user to test the sensor's signal

Spao Calibradoo
Maximum drift from calibration temperature is approximately 0.11% of reading per oc. The analyzer has been calibrated at the
factory. However, in order to obtain reliable data, the analyzer must be calibrated at the initial start-up and periodically
thereafter. The maximum calibration interval recommended is approximately 3 months, or as determined by the user's
application.
Calibration involves adjusting the analyzer electronics to the sensor's signal output at a given oxygen standard, e.g. a certified
span gas with an oxygen content (balance nitrogen) approximating 80% of the next higher full scale range aboye the intended
measuring range is recommended for optimum accuracy, see Calibration and Accuracy.
Recommendation - based on the inherent linearity of the galvanic oxygen sensor air calibrate the analyzer as described
below when installing and replacing the oxygen sensor (exception UHP and M5 versions of the PiCO Ion Sensor); or, to verify the
oxygen content of a certified span gas; or, when a certified span gas is not available (immediately following air calibration
reintroduce a gas with a low oxygen concentration to expedite the return to ppm level measurements).
Recommendation: lnitiate the DEFAULT SPAN procedure before performing either a ZERO or SPAN CAUBRATlON.
Caution: Prematurely initiating the SPAN CAUBRATlON key before the galvanic fuel cell sensor based analyzer reading has
stabilized can result in erroneous readings. For example, to assure an accurate air calibration when installing a new ppm
oxygen sensor from its packaged oxygen free atmosphere allow the oxygen sensor 2-3 minutes to reach equilibrium with the
oxygen content of the ambient ar surrounding it before pressing the SPAN CAUBRATE key. A ppm Oxygen sensor that has not
been allowed te reach equilibrium will generate a lower current output than a ppm oxygen sensor that has reached equilibrium.
Pressing the SPAN CAUBRATE key before the ppm oxygen sensor has reached equilibrium forces the micro-processor to
prematurely read the (erroneous low) current output of the ppm oxygen sensor and introduce larger (erroneous) than required
electronic gain adjustment and display (also erroneous) CAUBRATlON SUCCESSFUL message to the user. The error wll become
evident when a zero gas with a low oxygen concentrati on is introduced into the ppm analyzer to purge it down below 10 ppm.
The analyzer reading may stop and appear to stabilize as high as 1800 ppm - giving the user the (erroneous) impression there
is a problem with the ppm oxygen sensor when in fact the problem lies with the user's failure to follow the recommended

Required Components: Refer to lnstallng Span Gas secton aboye.
,. Certified span gas cylinder with an oxygen concentration, balance nitrogen, approximating 80% of the full scale range
aboye the ntended measuring range.
,. Regulator to reduce pressure te between 5 and 30 psig.

... Suitable fitting and a 4-6 ft. in length of 1/8" dia. metal tubing to connect to the f10w meter vent
... 1/8" male NPT to tube adapter fitting to connect the 1/8" dia. metal tubing from the flow meter vent to the mating male
quick disconnect fitting supplied with the GPR-1500AIS.
Proc:edure:
The user must ascertain that the oxygen reading (actually the sensor's signal output) has reached a stable value within the
limits entered below before entering the span adjustment. Failure to do so will result in an error.
1. This procedure assumes a span gas under positive pressure and is recommended for a transmitter without an optionaf
sampling pump, which if installed downstream of the sensor should be placed in the OFF position and disconnected so the
vent is not restricted during calibration.
2. To assure an accurate calibration, the temperature and pressure of the span gas must c10sely approximate the sample
conditions.
3. For calibration purposes, use of the AUTO SAMPLE mode is recommended. However, the user can select the full scale
MANUAL SAMPLE RANGE for calibration as dictated by the accuracy of the analysis required - for example, a span gas with
an 80 ppm oxygen concentration with the balance nitrogen would dictate the use of the 0-100 ppm full scale range for
calibration and a 0-10 ppm measuring range. Select as described aboye.

30. If the calibration is unsuccessful, return to the SAMPUNG mode with span gas flowing through the transmitter, make sure
the reading stabilizes and repeat the calibration before concluding the equipment is defective.
31. Before disconnecting the span gas line and connecting the sample gas line, restart if necessary the f10w of sample gas and
allow it to flow for 1-2 minutes to purge the air inside the line. ,
32. Disconnect the span gas line and replace it with the purged sample gas line.
33. Wait 10-15 minutes to ensure the reading is stable and proceed to sampling.
Default Span
The software will set the SPAN adjustment based on the average oxygen reading (actually the sensor's signal output) at any
specific oxygen concentration. For example, when a span gas is introduced, the micro-processor will display an oxygen reading
within SO% of the span gas value. This feature allows the user to test the sensor's signal output without removing it from the
sensor housing.
Recommendation: Initiate the DEFAULT SPAN procedure before performing either a ZERO or SPAN CAUBRATION.

GPR-1500AIS ppm Oxygen Transmitter requires positive pressure to f10w the sample gas by the sensor to measure the oxygen
cancentration in a sample gas. If not available see Pressure & Flow section.
Note: Prematurely initiating the ZERO CAUBRATION procedure can cause the analyzer to display a negative reading in both
the ZERO and SAMPLE modes. Prematurely initiating the SPAN CAUBRATION procedure can cause erroneously high offsets and
inaccurate readings.
Procedure:
1. Following calibration the transmitter returns to the SAMPLE mode after 30 seconds.
2. Select the desired sampling mode - auto or if manual, the range that provides maximum resolution - as described aboye.
3. Use metal tubing to transport the sample gas to the transmitter.
4. lhe main consideration is to eliminate air leaks which can affect oxygen measurements aboye or below the 20.9% oxygen
concentration in ambent air - ensure the sample gas tubing connections fit tightly into the 1/8" male NPT to tube adapter,
and, the NPT end is taped and securely tightened into the mating male quick disconnect fittings which mate with the
female fittings on the transmitter
5. Assure there are no restrictions in the sample line.
6. For sample gases under positive pressure the user must provide a means of controlling the inlet pressure between 5-30
psig and the f10w of the sample gas between 1-5 SCFH, a f10w rate of 2 SCHF is recommended
7. Far sample gases under atmospheric ar slightly negative pressure an optional sampling pump is recommended to draw the
sample into the transmitter. Generally, no pressure regulation or f10w control device is nvolved.
8. Caution: If the transmitter is equipped with an optional sampling pump and is intended for use in both positive and
atmospheric/slightly negative pressure applications where a f10w meter valve is involved - ensure the valve is completely
apen when operating the sampling pump. Refer to the Pressure & Flow section aboye.
9. Assure the sample is adequately vented for optimum response and recovery - and safety.
10. Allow the oxygen reading to stabilize for approximately 10 minutes at each sample point.
To avoid erroneous oxygen readings and damaging the sensor:
? Do not place your finger over the vent (it pressurizes the sensor) to test the f10w indicator when gas is f10wing to the
sensor. Removing your finger (the restrietion) generates a vacuum on the sensor and may damage the sensor (voiding the
sensor warranty).
? Assure there are no restrictions in the sample or vent lines
Avoid drawing a vacuum that exceeds 14" of water column pressure - unless done gradually
,. Avoid excessive f10w rates aboye 5 SCFH which generate backpressure on the sensor.
,. Avoid sudden releases of backpressure that can severely damage the sensor.
,. Avoid the collection of particulates, Iiquids or condensabon callect on the sensor that could block the diffusion of oxygen
into the sensor.
:;. If the transmitter is equipped with an optional integral sampling pump (positioned downstream of the sensor) and a flow
control metering valve (positioned upstream of the sensor), completely open the flow control metering valve to avoid
drawing a vacuum on the sensor and placing an undue burden on the pump.
Standbv
The transmitter has no special storage requirements.
lhe sensor should remain conneeted during storage periods.
Store the transmitter with the power OFF.
If storing for an extended period of time protect the analyzer from dust, heat and moisture.

16 Maintenance
Generally, c1eaning the electrical contacts or replacing filter elements is the extent of the maintenance requirements of this
transmitter.
Sensor Beplacement
Periodically, the oxygen sensor will require replacement. The operating lite is determined by a number of factors that are
influenced by the user and therefore difficult to predict. The Features & Specifications define the normal operating conditions
and expected life of the standard sensor utilized by the GPR-1500AIS transmitter. Expected sensor life is inversely proportional
to changes in oxygen concentration, pressure and temperature.
Serviceability: Except for replacing the oxygen sensor, there are no parts inside the transmitter for the operator to service.
Only trained personnet with the authorization of their supervisor should conduct maintenance.
Cautlon: DO NOT apen the oxygen sensor. The sensor contains a corrosive liquid electrolyte that could be harmful if touched
or ingested, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet contained in the Owner's Manual. Avoid contact with any liquid or crystal
type powder in or around the sensor or sensor housing, as either could be a form of electrolyte. Leaking sensors should be
disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Procedure:
1. Remove the four (4) screws securing the transmitter's front panel.
2. Caution: Do not discard the gaskets from the enclosure.
3. Using the 5/16 wrench supplied loosen but do not remove the clamp bolt located in the
center of the housing with the elbows attached.
4. Rotate the upper section of the sensor housing 90to disengage from the clamp.
5. Remove the upper section by pulling it straight up and place it on a smooth surface.
6. Remove the old axygen sensor and dispose of it as you would a battery.
7. Remove the new oxygen sensor from the shipping bago
8. Remove the red {abel and the gold ribbon (shorting device) from the PeB at the rear of the
sensor.
9. Caution: Minimize the time the sensor is exposed to ambient airo
10. Place the new sensor in the bottom section of the sensor housing with the PeB facing up.
11. Place the upper section of the sensor housing over the sensor.
12. Span calibrate the transmitter in 20.9% ambient air
t
once the reading stabilzes - see
aboye.
13. Gently push the upper section downward and rotate 90to engage the clamp.
14. Finger tighten the clamp bolt and one full turn with the 5/16 wrench to compressed the o-ring sea!.
15. Connect zero gas or low oxygen content sample gas line to purge the sensor of oxygen.

Correlatino Readings -leO Displav and 4-20mA or 0-1V Signal OutPUIS,
In rare instances the signal output may not agree to the reading displayed by the Leo. The OUTPUT ZERO and OUTPUT SPAN
features enable the user to adjust the signal output to correlate with the LCD reading.
For optimum accuracy make two separate adjustments as follows:
1. OUTPUT ZERO feature: To adjust the 4mA or OV signal output and reqUires zero gas.
2. OUTPUT SPAN feature: To adjust the 20mA or 1V signal output and requires span gas near full range.
Note: In the field or in the absence of the preferred gases, use the OUTPUT SPAN feature and adjust the 20mA or 1V signal
output using the span gas available.
Guideline:
If the actual signal output value < the theoretical LCD value, the adjustment value will be < 100%.
1f the actual signal output value > the theoretical LCO value, the adjustment value will be > 100%.

H2S.Scrubbers &Sample Systems
Advaneed lnstruments lne. offers a complete line of efficient hydrogen sulfide (HzS)
scrubbers !md sample coooltioning systems for:
Prepllring a gas strellm conUlining HzS fer oxygen analysis
Zero gas generation for HzS tr"zlnsmitters
The scrubber medill selectively removes HzS and other oxidizing gases from the gas
stream that can interiere with the oxygen measurement. As an iOOication the
scrubber is nearing the end of its useful lfe the media changes color from purple te
orange te bro",,'O to white as it tS consumed.
The information included herein is based on data sheets published by the
manufacturer of the scrubbng media as follow: the media not only adsorbs gases but
1IIso chemically transforms them into harmless end products that remain trapped in
the media. Unlike adsorption, chemisorption is an jnstanteous an irreversible process
that perrnanently removes unwanted gases from the environment. The polZlssium
permanganllte (KMn04), the purple eolored media inside the scrubber, tums into
mangllnese oxide aOO elemental sulfur salt which are stllble non-Ieachable solids.
Scrubbers ane available in refillable:
)- 1.0" x 6" (P/N B-2734-6) plexi-glass container with SS connections

They can be installed in-line or as plIrt of a complete serubber sal11'le coOOitioning
system. More elaborate custom designed scrubber sllmple conditioning systems can
inelude dual scrubbers aOO vlIlve system that can eliminlltc downtime. Opel"lltors

5ervicing any of the H25 scrubbers will depend on severaI factors as iIIustrated in Appendix F and inelude: the (average) H25
coneentration (average), volume of scrubber media and flow rate through the scrubber (often times maximizing the service Iife
means longer system response time) see Appendix F.
Required equipment:
1. 2x 7/16" open end wrenches
2. lx 9/16" open end wrench
3. 1x 1" open end or adjustable wrench
Procedure:
1. Separate the top connection to the serubber using a 7/16" and the 9/16" open end wrenches on the two top nuts.
2. Hold the second nut with the 9/16" open end wrench.
3. With one of the 7/16" open end wrenches tum the top nut counter c10ckwise until the fitting disengages.
4. 5eparate the bottom connection to the scrubber using both 7/16" open end wrenches.
5. Hold the nut at the bottom of the scrubber with a 7/16" open end wrench.
6. With the other 7/16" open end wrench turn the nut below counter c10ckwise until the fitting disengages.
7. Carefully, do not loose the ferrules inside the fitting, remove the stainless tubing from the top and bottom of the scrubber.
8. Carefully pull the scrubber from its mounting clip which is attaehed to the back panel.
9. Once the scrubber is free, hold the scrubber with one hand and using the 1" open end or adjustable wrench with the other
hand, turn the 1" nut counter c10ckwise and remove the 1" nut at the top of the scrubber.
10. There is no need to remove the 7/16" fitting at the bottom of the scrubber.
11. With the 1" nut removed, empty the spent media through the opening.
12. FiII the scrubber with fresh media (should be rich purple in color).
13. Reverse the aboye steps to re-assemble and install the scrubber.
MainteRance - Coalesc.ng Filter
Servicing the coalescing filter (P/N FLTR-1002-2) depends on the c1eanliness and moisture content of the sample and
maintenance intervals.
Required equipment:
1. Channel locks
2. Damp rag
3. Lubricant (a thin coat applied to the o-ring after eleaning helps ensure a tight seal and extend o-ring Iife)
Procedure:
1. Unscrew the c1ear polycarbonate bowl by turning it counter c1oekwise.
2. Note: It is probably stuck tight - use the damp rag to grip if removing by hand or to prevent damage to the bowl jf using
the channellocks.
3. The bowl seals to the head section with an o-ring, do not lose the o-ringo
4. The filter element screws into the head section, carefully turn it counter clockwise and remove.
5. Using the damp c1oth, c1ean the inside of the bowl and the o-ring before reassembling - apply a very thin coat of lubricant
to the o-ringo
6. Reverse the aboye steps to re-assemble the filter.
