Specialty Oxygen Sensors for Analyzers
† Although we make every effort to keep all these sensors in stock, because of relatively low unit sales volumes for some of the more obscure models, they can occasionally have a significant lead time in order for Dive Gear Express to be able to offer the freshest sensor available.
For rebreather replacement sensors please visit Rebreather Sensors.
Sensor accuracy and linearity is ± 2% full scale and 12 month warranty with a typical service life of 36 to 48 months depending on usage and amount of oxygen being analyzed, but can be as little as 12 months in frequent shop use. Please double check the part number you have selected above matches the replacement sensor for your model dive gas analyzer in the compatibility list below. If you do not find your diving gas analyzer listed below, then we do not have a compatible replacement sensor.

† OMS (original company prior to 2015) sold several different products under the same "Professional Dive O2 Analyzer" name and using the same documentation bundled with different accessories, however while they have the same name they all use different specific oxygen sensors. You can distinguish the analyzers by their color and shape, either white rectangle or yellow rectangle or yellow peanut. The yellow rectangle shape requires a PSR-11-37-D2 sensor, the white rectangle shape requires a PSR-11-37-D3 sensor, the yellow peanut shape requires a PSR-11-39-MD5 sensor.
† Analox Group no longer makes analyzers for the recreational diving market. Increasingly, we have noticed issues with replacement oxygen sensors for the long discontinued Analox O2EII model. As these analysers age, we have found problems with the analyzer electronics to be the cause, especially the original Analox OE2II with yellow colored front cover and power button. We can not warranty the sensor in this situation, so rather than invest in a replacement oxygen sensor only to discover a problem with the analyzer itself, you might wish to consider replacing your Analox O2EII analyzer with the Analytical Palm D or the Divesoft DNA.

Customer Reviews
WARNING
Oxygen sensors are one of the very few items on our website that are NOT returnable, because we can't know with absolute certainty how they were handled once delivered. Additional shipping and handling of the return can also degrade performance. They are critical to safety in diving, and our customers have a reasonable expectation of receiving as factory fresh a product as possible from Dive Gear Express. Your complete satisfaction is our goal, so please consider carefully before purchase.
The R-22 and R-17 type oxygen sensors in diving
Teledyne Analytical, a early pioneer in the development of galvanic oxygen sensors, manufactures a variety of sensors for different applications. The R-22 models are all characterized by the same physical dimensions and 3-pin Molex connector; the R-17 models are similar but with an 3.5 mm mini-jack connector. They output approximately 10 mV in ordinary air at one atmosphere (i.e. 0.21 ATA partial pressure of oxygen) and room temperature with an average lifespan of about 36 months. In elevated oxygen pressures the mV output is much higher and the lifespan is much shorter. The various models differ internally in order to support specific applications such as automotive (R-22A/R-17A), medical (R-22MED/R-17MED), and gas analyzers (R-22S/R-17S). Early versions of modern rebreather designs incorporating oxygen sensors used those models (because it was what was available), but the sensors are sensitive to the high levels of humidity found in rebreather loops. Teledyne later offered "D" versions for the diving market (R-22D/R-17D) that improved their resistance to moisture.
In the 2000's, Teledyne Analytical had to defend the sensors in several (frivolous?) lawsuits associated with rebreather fatalities. Although the sensors were never found to be at fault, Teledyne ceased manufacture of the diving grade models because the litigation costs to defend the sensors exceeded the value of the very small rebreather sensor market at the time. Several other competing manufacturers began to offer plug-compatible replacements for the now discontinued R-22D/R-17D models. Over time those other manufacturers have made significant improvements to the original design, although the physical and connector specifications have remained the same. They are often still generically referred to as "22D type compatible" or "17D type compatible" after the original Teledyne model number, although Teledyne has not resumed branded production of diving grade sensors.
The primary difference between the "S" type sensor and the "D" type sensor is the presence of a hydrophobic membrane on the face of the diving grade sensor. The membrane improves resistance to moisture, but slows the response of the sensor to changes in oxygen partial pressures by several seconds. In practice, for use in diving gas analyzer applications the slightly slower response time of diving grade sensors is little consequence with the benefit being the design is more resistant to moisture found on the face of tank valves. If the diver or fill station operator fails to wipe or blow away any moisture present on the valve outlet, that moisture can enter the stream of gas being analyzed and affect the accuracy of the analysis. Some prefer to use the D type sensors even in analyzers because of their resistance to moisture, others prefer the S type sensors for their slightly faster response time in analyzers - especially in frequent use applications. Both types will work in gas analyzers but the S type must never be used in rebreathers.
