Oxygen
OMT355 Oxygen Transmitter for Industrial
Process Measurements
The Vaisala SPECTRACAP
®
Oxygen
Transmitter OMT355 is ideal for
oxygen monitoring in moist and
aggressive process gases. Typical
applications include gas generation,
inert gas blanketing, fermentation
and composting process monitoring.
Laser based measurement
The Vaisala SPECTRACAP
®
Oxygen Transmitter OMT355 is
ideal for oxygen monitoring in
moist and aggressive process
gases.The OMT355 incorporates
a compact tunable diode laser
(TDL) gas spectrometer built in the
measurement probe. This optical
measurement technology is well
known for unmatched stability and
robustness. The SPECTRACAP
®
sensor offers TDL technology in a
compact probe suitable for eld use.

®
Oxygen Transmitter.
Direct installation
In many applications, the OMT355
can be ange-mounted directly into
a process. No sampling or sample
conditioning equipment is needed.
This feature provides real time
measurement data without sampling
or sample switching delays.
Sampling cell installation
An optional sampling cell is
available for processes with high
temperatures, elevated pressures
or extremely difcult mechanical
conditions. Due to the robustness of
the SPECTRACAP
®
sensor and its low
sensitivity to gas ow and pressure
variations, the sampling system can
be very simple and it can be installed
near the sampling point.

Low maintenance
A stainless steel mesh lter and an
optional porous PTFE lter protect
the OMT355 probe optics from dust
and dirt. An intelligent measurement
algorithm further minimizes
contamination effects and provides
a maintenance alert well before
the measurement performance is
affected.
Long calibration interval
Calibration or eld checking of
the instrument can be done either
with ambient air or with zero/span
gases injected through an optional
calibration gas connector. The
calibration interval of the OMT355 is
12 months.
User friendly interfaces
For calibration and conguration, the
OMT355 features both software and
keypad user interfaces and an LCD
display.
TDL Technology
The Tunable Diode Laser
(TDL) technology used in the
SPECTRACAP
®
sensor is one of the
most powerful technologies in gas
measurement on the market today.
The technology is based on
measuring the attenuation of a beam
of laser light in the sample gas. For
oxygen sensing the laser is tuned to
a wavelength which is characteristic
and unique for the oxygen molecule.
Therefore, the measured attenuation
is an extremely selective measure for
the amount of oxygen on the path of
the laser beam.
