PRO OX®-100 Kit

PROGRAMMABLE DIGITAL OXYGEN MONITOR

US & FOREIGN PATENTS ISSUED & PENDING

STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY FOR PRECISE OXYGEN MONITORING

The PRO OX-100 programmable handheld digital oxygen monitor is designed to give operators the most precise oxygen level readings possible.

All Pro OX-100 oxygen monitors sold before August 1, 2019 are calibrated via “Self-Calibration”. This method uses only ambient air to calibrate.

All monitors sold after August 1, 2019 are calibrated via “2-Point Calibration”. This method uses a high point (ambient air) and low point (99.999% Argon) to calibrate.

Internationally renowned for its highly advanced features and low-cost, this oxygen weld monitor with an internal pump accurately measures down to 0.01% (100 ppm) resolution, making it ideal for purging and other welding applications.

Great pride goes into manufacturing the CE approved PRO OX-100 in the USA at the Aquasol® Corporation’s ISO Certified Factory.

The PRO OX-100 comes equipped with many advanced features such as its data logging capabilities, which allow operators to create permanent records of real time data (at 15 second intervals) and export up to 50 data points to Microsoft® Excel and plain text format.

The PRO OX-100 also offers a built-in, programmable multi-language feature with on-screen instructions that are available in English, Spanish, German, and Portuguese. Together with different voltage and frequency specifications and compatibilities, the PRO OX-100 is the most universal oxygen weld monitor available on the global market today.

How do you test if high-frequency welding equipment is interfering with the Pro Ox-100/100B readings?

High-frequency may be an issue with monitors receiving readings around specific welding machines.  To test for this, place a piece of metal foil/sheet metal between the monitor and the machine, to protect it from interfering with the circuit board.  If the monitor reading is normal, high-frequency equipment is interfering.

9V Battery Replacement

Any new 9V rechargeable battery can be substituted in the PRO-OX 100.  The specification for the 9V battery is NiMH 280mAh.  Additionally, any ordinary (non-chargeable) battery may be used as well.

Data Logging Capabilities

The PRO OX-100 logs data that can be transferred to a computer via USB cable. Conversion software enables easy capture and export of 50 data points to Microsoft® Excel and Plain text format. Data is recorded in 15 second intervals in CONTINUOUS mode or as needed in SPOT mode.

Data Logging Software

In order to obtain the data logging software required for the Pro OX®-100, go to aquasolwelding.com, click on the products drop down menu and select PRO OX-100”. Then click on the provided link, Download “Software and Driver” zip file, complete the form including unit serial number and other required information. Within 24 hours you will receive an email with software attachments for 32 and 64 bit machines.

Calibration and Maintenance Intervals

Self Calibrating Model:
Calibration can be performed on a weekly basis. There are no other specific recommendations regarding maintenance besides general care of the unit such as cleaning, proper storage, etc.

Point Calibration Model:
1. As the unit undergoes 2 point calibration, it is not necessary to recalibrate unless the SENSOR needs replacement. A CAL ERR will indicate a need for replacement.
2. Replace sensor and follow instructions in section 2.1.7 of the manual pages 19-21.

Periodic Calibration Interval

Self Calibrating Model:
If a unit is used very frequently (daily) it should be calibrated once a week. If it is not used frequently, it should be calibrated once every three weeks.

2 Point Calibration Model:
As the unit undergoes 2 point calibration, it is not necessary to recalibrate unless the SENSOR needs replacement. A CAL ERR will indicate a need for replacement.

Calibration Certificate Included

Every oxygen monitor is shipped with a Calibration Certificate.

Power Supply/Charger

The Pro OX-100 is battery operated, but can also be operated through a standalone power supply. For specifications on use, refer to section 2.1.1 of the manual. With a full-charge, the battery can supply continuous power for up to two (2) hours.

Operating Oxygen Monitor Less Than 2 Hours

When using The Pro OX-100 Oxygen Monitor for LESS than two (2) continuous hours, ensure a fully charged battery is installed into the battery housing. Then turn the power switch to the ON position.  Continue to use the monitor until operation is complete or the battery indicator displays the “low battery indicator”.

Operating Oxygen Monitor More Than 2 Hours

When using The Pro OX®-100 Oxygen Monitor for MORE than two (2) continuous hours be sure to turn the power switch to the OFF position. If the battery is installed, remove it from the housing. Then connect the standalone power supply/charger cable to the port. After this step, connect the power supply/charger plug into the nearest working outlet (110V for US type/220V for EU type). Then simply turn the power switch to the ON position. The Pro OX-100 is capable of operating indefinitely with a standalone power supply.

CAUTION: ALWAYS REMOVE THE BATTERY IF USING THE MONITOR FOR MORE THAN 2 CONTINUOUS HOURS. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN OVERHEAT THE BATTERY AND SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE PRODUCT AS WELL AS VOID THE WARRANTY.

Operating Temperature

The PRO OX-100 can operate in temperatures as low as 0°C (32°F) and as high as 50°C (122°F).

Sensor Lifetime

The sensor has a lifespan of approximately one year under normal operating conditions (see manual for operating temperature, proper storage guidelines, etc.).

Replacement Sensor

Sensors are available for purchase. Each sensor has a one-year warranty. It is not recommended to keep stock of extra sensors. Sensors are readily available to ship and are lightweight.

Pump Does Not Start

If there is an issue starting the pump when pressing the SPOT or CONT button, the pump may be damaged. Contact customer service for an RGA authorization.

Screen Does Not Turn On

If there is no display when the toggle switch is in the ON position, either the battery is drained or the LCD is damaged.

If the battery is drained, simply recharge the battery or use the standalone power supply. Refer to section 1.2.2B of the PRO OX-100 manual for instructions.

If the screen does not light up, replace the battery.

If the LCD is damaged, the unit must be sent to Aquasol Corporation for repair. Contact customer service for an RGA authorization.

Strange Symbols on Screen

If strange symbols appear on the screen when the toggle switch is in the ON position, the display is damaged.

The unit must be repaired. Contact customer service for an RGA authorization.

Damaged Keypad

The keypad is damaged if the keys do not correspond with what is on the display. The unit must be sent to Aquasol Corporation for repair. Contact customer service for an RGA authorization.

Test Alarm

To test the PRO OX-100 audiovisual alarm, follow the guidelines below:

  1. Go to alarm setting and set the alarm to 100 ppm. Save and Exit.
  2. Pull the sensor out from the sensor housing.
  3. Press ‘CONT’ and wait until the screen shows “BELOW 100 PPM”. The alarm should go off (both light and sound).
Unable to Set Alarm

If user is unable to set the alarm, the program could be corrupted. Contact customer service for an RGA authorization.

Alarm Does Not Sound/Flash

If the alarm does not sound or flash, the alarm is either disabled or damaged. In order to fix this, refer to the manual Section 2.1.3. and follow the instructions. If the issue still persists, the unit must be sent to Aquasol Corporation for repair. Contact customer service for an RGA authorization.

Alarm Light Does Not Blink

If the alarm light does not blink, even though the sound goes off, the light indicator is damaged. To fix this, the unit must be sent to Aquasol Corporation for repair. Contact customer service for an RGA authorization.

Calibration ERR

Self Calibrating Model:
Ensure the sensor is plugged into the sockets properly. After running for 30 seconds, if calibration is successful, the screen will display “CALIBRATION DONE”.

Self Calibrating & 2 Point Calibration Models:
If CAL ERR is displayed, sensor must be replaced. Call Aquasol customer service.
