Hi Sarah;

We have just replaced our old ones with Honeywell E3SA (P/N 1309A0042) which
can be tied into remote network. They are hard wired in, but the sensors are
easy to replace. Except for a bad batch of sensors, they seem to work reliably.
If you have questions, I can set you with the person in Environmental Health &
Safety who is in charge of them.

Sarah;

We use the Pureair systems with 10 year sensors too. There are some drawbacks
though:

They are not hardwired into AC mains of the facility. They use a little power
supply plugged into an AC power outlet which can add clutter. If you have or
have access to someone with soldering skills, the power supply cable lengths
can be modified without recalibration.

The sensor is mounted on a length of cable which can not be extended without
recalibration but you can order them to length. We did not, so we were limited
with sensor placement.

They were expensive.

Good luck,

Hi all,

I need to replace the oxygen sensor in my lab. The one I have is GFG ZD21
https://www.gfgsafety.com/us-en/products/fixed-gas-detection-systems-transmitter/zd21
and I have found that the sensors don't last very long and replacement
ones are very difficult to calibrate. Right now it is hard-wired in the wall
with a sensor at the ceiling and the floor. I don't really care too much about
having two sensors/channels with a replacement unit, but I have existing conduit
to run two sensors.

Would be interested in hearing what oxygen monitors you use in your labs/facilities.
I'd also be interested in a remote monitoring option if it isn't a zillion dollars.
