In water treatment plants, food factories, and semiconductor processes where ozone (O3) is used for sterilization and disinfection, O3 concentrations can reach dangerous levels even during unmanned periods. The WANDI FIX800 is a fixed 5-gas simultaneous detector that continuously monitors ozone generation zones 24/7, immediately sounding an alarm when concentrations exceed set levels.
Why Fixed Detectors Are Essential in Ozone-Using Facilities
Ozone generators can operate automatically even at night, and O3 accumulates in enclosed spaces as it is slightly heavier than air. When workers enter in the morning, dangerous concentrations may already be present. The fixed FIX800 prevents such situations proactively.
Health Effects of Ozone
| Concentration (ppm) | Health Effects | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 0.05 | Detectable odor, minimal irritation | ACGIH TLV (light work) |
| 0.1 | Eye/throat irritation, onset of headache | OSHA PEL |
| 0.3 | Severe coughing, chest pain, dyspnea | Danger level |
| ≥10 | Immediately life-threatening (NIOSH IDLH) | Immediately Dangerous |
WANDI FIX800: Optimal Solution for O3 Continuous Monitoring
5-Gas Simultaneous Measurement Including O3
A single FIX800 simultaneously monitors up to 5 gases: O3, O2, CO, H2S, and EX. In ozone generation zones, monitoring both O3 and O2 concentration changes together is critical.
FIX-DS Display Integration
Installing a FIX-DS display board at the entry point allows workers to visually confirm ozone concentration before entering. When concentrations exceed thresholds, the large-format LED display and alarm block entry.
