Equipped with the <strong>SM-EC sensing module<\/strong>, it can detect ozone concentrations from up to <strong>100 meters away<\/strong> from the base unit, making it ideal for industrial and agricultural applications where continuous monitoring and control of ozone levels are critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Features of the OS-4 Ozone Switch:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Remote Sensor Capability<\/strong>: The OS-4 uses a <strong>remote sensor module<\/strong> that can be placed away from the base unit, ensuring the instrument itself isn\u2019t exposed to high ozone areas. The sensor comes with a pre-calibrated module, making replacement and calibration easy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>User-Friendly Interface<\/strong>: The <strong>LCD screen<\/strong> with indicator lights provides a clear readout of ozone levels and equipment control status. This easy-to-read display ensures operators can monitor ozone concentrations and system status at a glance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ozone Control Like a Thermostat<\/strong>: The OS-4 can be programmed to control ozone generators and alarms based on adjustable ozone concentration set-points. With its <strong>digital meter readout<\/strong>, users can easily set and monitor the desired ozone concentration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Temperature and Humidity Compensation<\/strong>: The <strong>sensor readings<\/strong> are automatically compensated for temperature and humidity fluctuations, ensuring consistent accuracy even in variable environments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wide Power Compatibility<\/strong>: The OS-4 operates from <strong>12-24 VDC<\/strong> and can be powered using AC adapters available globally, making it flexible for various power setups.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Programmable Alarms<\/strong>: The OS-4 features a <strong>programmable turn-on and turn-off set-point<\/strong> for controlling ozone generators. Additionally, it has a <strong>0.1 ppm safety standard alarm<\/strong> that alerts operators when ozone levels exceed safe limits.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Typical Applications:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Agricultural Storage Monitoring<\/strong>: Monitor ozone levels in areas storing fruits, vegetables, and other perishable products to prevent spoilage and contamination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ozonated HVAC Systems<\/strong>: Ensure proper ozone levels in HVAC systems for effective disinfection and air quality management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ozone Generator Control<\/strong>: Use the <strong>set-point controlled relay<\/strong> to manage the output of ozone generators, ensuring they operate within safe and efficient parameters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ozone Leak or Failure Alarm<\/strong>: Detect leaks or failures in ozone generators and alert operators immediately, preventing accidents and ensuring safe operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specifications:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Range<\/strong>: 0.03-20 ppm with an <strong>electrochemical sensor<\/strong> for accurate detection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Accuracy<\/strong>: 10-15%, depending on the application.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Operating Conditions<\/strong>: 5-40\u00b0C temperature range, 20-95% relative humidity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Power Requirements<\/strong>: 12-24 VDC, 300 mA.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Relay Output<\/strong>: <strong>SPDT relay<\/strong> rated for 5 amps, 250 VAC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Case<\/strong>: Made of flame-resistant ABS, ensuring durability and safety.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Range Selection:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The OS-4 comes equipped with the <strong>SM-EC Electrochemical Sensor<\/strong> featuring a 0-20 ppm range, making it ideal for ozone control applications in industrial environments like odor control, food storage, and more. The <strong>SM-EC sensor<\/strong> excels in high-humidity environments and areas with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), providing enhanced accuracy compared to traditional HMOS sensors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the 0-20 ppm sensor is excellent for industrial control, it may not be suitable for certain human safety applications, where different detection thresholds are required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Components of the OS-4:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>OS-4 Base Unit<\/strong>: Contains the relays, voltage outputs, and the LCD display.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>SM-7 Sensor Module<\/strong>: Houses the ozone sensor and measures ozone concentrations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>SM-EC Sensor Chip<\/strong>: The replaceable, pre-calibrated sensor chip used in the SM-7 module for long-term reliability and low-cost maintenance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remote Sensor Setup:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The OS-4 is shipped with a <strong>6-foot cable<\/strong> connecting the OS-4 base unit and the SM-7 sensor module, allowing for flexible installation. For installations requiring longer distances, the OS-4 can support cable lengths up to <strong>100 meters<\/strong>. Standard telephone wire works for distances up to 100 feet, but for distances beyond that, <strong>shielded cable with 22-gauge wire<\/strong> is recommended. In testing, <strong>18-gauge shielded cable<\/strong> has been used successfully at distances up to <strong>1,000 feet<\/strong>, making the OS-4 an adaptable solution for a wide range of setups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accessories and Monitoring Options:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The OS-4 is compatible with a variety of accessories, including <strong>alarms<\/strong> and <strong>data loggers<\/strong>, allowing you to expand its functionality. Additionally, you can integrate it with a <strong>Wireless Monitoring &amp; Data Logging Kit<\/strong>, which connects the OS-4 to the internet, enabling real-time monitoring and instant notifications via text and email alerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>OS-4 Ozone Switch<\/strong> is a versatile and reliable tool for monitoring and controlling ozone levels in a variety of industrial settings. Whether you\u2019re managing ozone in an agricultural storage facility or controlling an ozone generator, the OS-4 provides accurate, easy-to-read data, and effective control functionality. Its <strong>remote sensor capability<\/strong>, programmable set-points, and compatibility with accessories make it an excellent choice for anyone needing reliable ozone detection and control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can find this product here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gas-sensing.com\/os4-ozone-monitor.html\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.gas-sensing.com\/os4-ozone-monitor.html\">https:\/\/www.gas-sensing.com\/os4-ozone-monitor.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The OS-4 Ozone Switch is a cutting-edge remote mount ozone sensor that brings accuracy, reliability, and convenience to ozone monitoring.
