Why this principle for this gas
Oxygen is neither heavier nor lighter in a meaningful way for siting—the risk is displacement by N₂ or enrichment from leaks. A Surecell™ O₂ cell is used because catalytic and IR channels cannot report %vol oxygen. Mount at the height where personnel breathe or where the purge first enters; do not hide it behind a vessel skirt.
Sensor and replaceable parts
OEM cartridge SPXCDXSO1SS. Calibration cap S3KCAL. Collecting cone follows buoyancy—see installation. Pipe/duct kits: SPXCDMTBR / SPXCDDMK.
Typical applications
Nitrogen-inerted tanks, analyser houses and bottle stores need a latched O₂ trip, not a walk-around reading. XCD gives 4–20 mA plus relays so the purge skid can hard-interlock; a portable cannot hold that permit.

Installation and wiring
Wall-mount SPXCDALMO1 (oxygen, LM25 epoxy-coated aluminium) through the one-piece plate with M8 bolts sized for that mass. This SKU uses 2 × M20 entries: pipe kit SPXCDMTBR covers Ø1.5–3″, duct kit is SPXCDDMK, and glands must match—do not retap SPXCDALMO1. Land SPXCDALMO1 4–20 mA as three-wire and set Modbus address from the menu only. Magnetic wand calibration on the SPXCDALMO1 lid stays non-intrusive. Aim the SPXCDALMO1 O₂ head at the purge inlet or the breathing line.
FAQ
- SPXCDALMO1: Can I change the 25 %vol O₂ FSD?
- SPXCDALMO1 — No. The O1 cell is fixed at 25.0 %vol. If you need a different span you are specifying the wrong platform.
- SPXCDALMO1: How often is an oxygen cell replaced?
- SPXCDALMO1 — Plan 12–18 months in continuously powered service. Keep SPXCDXSO1SS on the shelf; oxygen cells age even in the box once the foil is broken.
- LM25 or 316SS for SPXCDALMO1 (oxygen)?
- SPXCDALMO1 ships in LM25 epoxy aluminium (~4.4 lb). For oxygen in salt spray, caustic CIP or sour-water splash, switch to 316SS sibling SPXCDASMO1 instead of painting this lid.
- Can I convert SPXCDALMO1 from ATEX M20 to NPT in the field?
- No. SPXCDALMO1 flameproof entries are machined M20. North-American NPT is UL sibling SPXCDULNO1, not an adaptor on this ATEX oxygen body.
- Can I retrofit Modbus on SPXCDALMO1 after it ships?
- Modbus RTU on SPXCDALMO1 is a transmitter sales option, not a jumper on the oxygen lid. Confirm the option before the box leaves; 4–20 mA sink/source is already on this SKU.
