ELIMINATOR CELL BLOCK For A Leak-Free Design

The patented ELIMINATOR CELL BLOCK provides a unique, compact sample system approach and a flow- efficient sensor pocket machined into a solid metallic block. Precision cross-drilled intersecting gas passages eliminate the need for long lengths of tubing and leak-prone compression fittings. Additionally, a uniquely engineered 3-way selector valve (Sample/Span/Off), metering valve, and flow meter are all integrated into the ELIMINATOR CELL BLOCK. It also provides the user with direct front panel access for installing and replacing sensors, and the ability to air calibrate the analyzer, all without the need for disassembly or tools.

Proprietary Sensor Technology

AMI’s patented oxygen sensors deliver unmatched performance for ultra-fast response times, accuracy, and reliability. Every sensor undergoes an intense battery of tests to ensure they meet our strict quality control standards. Our trace and percent oxygen sensors operate safely, accurately, and reliably in inert or flammable gas streams even when containing high levels of H2S, up to 500 ppm H2S, for their entire warranted life. This eliminates installing a maintenance intensive H2S scrubber that competitive oxygen analyzers require!

Exceptional Value

The WATCHDOG is a perfect low-cost solution for O2 measurements requiring a complete sample system and limited key features. It has been designed for mounting inside a shelter of metering building in Class 1, Div. 2 areas and operates on 12-24VDC power. Its combination of advanced AMI technologies, reliability, intuitive controls and essential features make it a very cost-effective oxygen analyzer option for select applications.
