O2 Analyser

[Simon TW]

Right, I'm in the market for a nice neat O2 Analyser.

What do you all reccomend.

Mark Powell sells the Analox at a competitive price - assuming your mean nitrox and not trimix analyser..

[Rob Dobson]

Not seen anything as rugged or as easy to use as the Analox O2EII - as Wilbo says look at Mark's site for one:

When we run a Nitrox course we often try and have a range of analysers available. In a straw poll of students, the Analox is often the favourite.

The analox analysers are great and esay to use, the only sting in the tail is when you come to replace the O2 sensor... Mine has just failed after 5 years - cost of replacement ~£80 ! bit steep in my view

Make your own, easy to build and cheap try :
http://www.oxycheq.com/el_cheapo_II.html

The "Kit" includes all of the parts necessary to complete your own oxygen analyzer. The "Kit" also includes a brand new Teledyne R-17 Oxygen Sensor in a factory sealed bag and detailed instructions. The sensor is often sold for over $90 alone.

A nice price $100 and shipping.

Ouch!!, I can get an NRC analyser cheaper than that, (it doesn't have decimals though )

I use (and like) the OMS one... (I have the older model, I bought the DIN connector/flow meter to go with it...)

(I bought this from Divers Warehouse at the nec show about 5/6 years ago .... top service and good kit)

Personally, I like a firm connection throughout the system, not the "press it against a tank" style (having said that is personal preferance, and I get the same (or very similar) results with either style!)

Fire proof suit on and door is open!

Is that a problem though - don't we just knock off the decimal bit anyway(*)? This way the analyser does it for you.

* or do we round?

Spoken like a true Yorkshire diver

That's because they are idiot proof
