Fixed type Oxygen Detector Head
GD-1OXi Series
GD-1OXi, GD-1DOXi
Operating Manual
(PT2-236/PT2-237)

Operating Precautions
The detector detects oxygen in the atmosphere and prevents acid-deficient accidents due to acid-deficient
air release or accidents due to excessive oxygen.
Please fully understand the following points before using it, so that it can be used properly.
1. The detector may be interfered by gases and vapors other than oxygen in the atmosphere.
In addition, it may be fluctuated by environmental (temperature, humidity etc.) changes in the
installation site.
2. The detector is affected by pressure. If the detector is used at a pressure other than atmospheric
pressure, a calibration is required under that pressure. The maximum allowable pressure is 110 KPa.
The detector cannot be used under reduced pressure.
3. The gas sensor used by the detector contains an electrolyte. Electrolyte may cause severe skin burns if
it contacts skin, while it may cause blindness if its contacts eyes. Do not touch the sensor directly in the
event of a liquid leak.
4. For maintenance of the detector, it must go through a regular maintenance, including replacement and
adjustment of the regular replacement parts as specified in the operating manual. In addition, because
this is a safety unit, it is recommended that a regular maintenance and span adjustment are performed
every six months.

Outline of the Product
1-1. Preface
Thank you for choosing our fixed type oxygen detector head GD-1OXi/GD-1DOXi. Please check that the
model number of the product you purchased is included in the specifications on this manual.
This manual explains how to use the two models: GD-1OXi, GD-1DOXi and their specifications. It contains
information required for using the gas detector properly. Not only the first-time users but also the users who
have already used the product must read and understand the operating manual to enhance the knowledge
and experience before using the detector.
Note that the detector cannot be used alone. Use it with the dedicated indicator/alarm unit. Be sure to read
the operating manual of the indicator/alarm unit as well.

GD-1DOXi Suction type
1-2. Purpose of use
Incorporating a galvanic cell type oxygen sensor, this compact diffusion type oxygen detector is used with
an indicator/alarm unit to measure a broad range of oxygen concentrations ranging from insufficient to
excessive oxygen levels.
The detector is used with an indicator/alarm unit to display gas concentrations and issue alarms. The gas
detector cannot be used on its own. It must be used with the dedicated indicator/alarm unit. Be sure to
read the operating manual for the indicator/alarm unit as well.
The detector features a splash-proof housing for installation outdoors.
It can also be used with an optional Zener barrier to achieve an inherently safe explosion-proof
configuration for use in hazardous locations.
