Ozone Monitor
Model 8412

Description
Matheson's Model 8412 Ozone Monitor is a hand-held, portable instrument designed for measuring trace levels of ozone in ambient air. A large digital LCD readout clearly displays the ozone concentration. An alarm sounds if the level exceeds 0.1 parts-per-million. A unique peak hold function stores in memory the highest concentration encountered.
The 8412 is ideal for use in a wide variety of applications which use ozone or are known to generate ozone. Examples include:
Welding operations
Photocopier machines
Laser printers
Electrostatic precipitators
Air conditioners
Ozone generating equipment
Waste & wastewater treatment plants
Sterilization/disinfections/deodorization
Oxidation processes
U.V. Lamps
Heavy electrical (arc)
The Model 8332 is used to test the 8412 detector to ensure it is working. It generates approximately 0.2ppm ozone by irradiating oxygen in the air. It has the same size, weight and power specifications as the 8412. The 8412 detector should be calibrated every six months. You can return the unit to Matheson for calibration at a nominal charge.

Principle of Operation
The Model 8412 sensor selectively adsorbs ozone onto a thin film semiconductor surface where electron transfer takes place. The resulting negative charge repels electrons into the center of the semiconductor (similar to principle of a field effect transistor, FET), causing the resistance of the semiconductor to increase, which is measured as a drop in electrical current. The sensor's relatively high temperature makes the surface "self-cleaning''.
