The MF010-O-LC is a highly accurate oxygen sensor. Its ability to operate without any reference gas makes it ideal for many applications including combustion and environmental control. The sensor probe employs two ZrO2discs with a small hermetically sealed chamber in between. One of the discs functions as a reversible oxygen pump, which is used to successively fill and empty the chamber. The second disc measures the ratio of the partial pressure difference and generates a corresponding sense voltage. A heat element produces the 700 ?C required for the ZrO2 to operate as an O2 pump. The time taken for the pump to achieve specific minimum and maximum pressures within the chamber is a measure of the partial oxygen pressure of the environment.
?The sensor probe is attached to a housing that contains all the electronics necessary to control the oxygen pump and process the output signals. The housing is made from polycarbonate that naturally provides a high level of impact resistance and sealing. A seven pin connector allows for easy connection and sealing.
