Flue gas oxygen transmitter cuts cost and downtime

Latest version of the GE Panametrics FGA-311 in-situ flue gas oxygen transmitter differs from conventional designs by enabling its sensor/heater to be removed and serviced in the field
Latest version of the GE Panametrics FGA-311 in-situ flue gas oxygen transmitter differs from conventional designs by enabling its sensor/heater to be removed and serviced in the field, while the transmitter housing and probe remain installed on the stack or duct. Maintenance costs and downtime are reduced. The competitively priced and compact FGA311 was developed to give sustained operation, with sensor life also extended by proprietary coatings.

The unit has ATEX certification for hazardous area installation and its microprocessor-based electronics are IP66 protected.

The transmitter provides an isolated linear 4-20mA output and allows interface with a laptop PC for set-up, calibration and diagnosis.

It is ideal for generally clean applications such as natural gas boilers, process heaters or furnaces and also offers an economical solution for multiple installation applications.
