VR3 as analyzer?!

bourskov · 9th February 2007, 22:33

Hi...

I've just bought a VR3, and I like it very much...

This analyzerfunction it's capable of, is it worth the money?! I've been told that's not that good!?

Any one how has some experience with it?

Best regards

It works perfectly acceptably as an analyser. You need to buy or make a suitable cable and a sensor of course. And like all things VR3 the sensor capability costs money for the PIN number.

It's handy as a backup.

Analyzer works very well, seems accurate and it is easy to use. It is extremely convenient for traveling.

There is two functions that can be purchased. One in for reading the PO2 in the breathing loop for Rebreather and the other is for the analyzer. My question is if I were to buy the function for the RB can I also use it for a analyzer? Or would I have to buy both at $225 ea.

Any PP02 meter used at 1 atmosphere is an analyzer... just drop the cell into baggie and analize away. If you use something like a cell in a P-Connector, just unplug it and use it. Otherwise get an extra cable and use that. The VR-3 is a good unit and we use them for mix analysis all the time.

Hi Scott.

I have the Dräger pO2 monitor kit for my VR3, but also use it for analyzing gas. It works fine.
