Features
(1) Full-color touchscreen control: Simply set the oxygen concentration value on the touchscreen, and the program will automatically adjust to the oxygen concentration balance and emit a beeping sound, eliminating the hassle of manually adjusting the oxygen concentration;
(2) The use of a stepping proportional valve greatly improves the flow control accuracy. Closed-loop control ensures that the oxygen concentration drifts during testing and the program automatically adjusts back to the target value, avoiding the drawback of traditional oxygen index meters that cannot adjust the oxygen concentration during testing, thus greatly improving testing accuracy.
