It comes with an ST-connector compatible to a broad range of fiber-optic oxygen sensors and contact-less oxygen sensors. The oxygen sensor of your choice must be purchased separately.
Here you can see our range of oxygen sensors.

Temperature Port

It also comes with a Lemo-connector for PT100 temperature sensors which can be used for automatic temperature compensation of the oxygen measurement, or simply for logging temperatures in liquids and gases.
Here you can see our range of temperature sensors.

High contrast display and silicone buttons

The high contrast display in combination with the silicone buttons offers an intuitive user interface, which allows for a complete stand-alone operation of the device. In fact, only for the final download of the logged data you will need to connect the device to a USB port of your PC. The display features ultra-low power consumption, as a result it is permanently enabled even during long-term logging. You will always keep an eye on your actual oxygen measurement.

Integrated rechargeable battery

The FireStingGO2 comes with a powerful integrated lithium ion polymer battery, supporting a reliable stand-alone operation. You will be astonished how seldom the FireStingGO2 needs to be recharged. Typical laboratory usage (3h operation per day with 2s sample interval) requires recharging only after several months!

Life Measurements

Connect the oxygen sensor type of your choice, enter the sensor code, perform a quick 1-point or a precision 2-point calibration, and the display will immediately show the measured oxygen levels, temperature, humidity, and air pressure.

Long-term Logging

Start data logging of oxygen, temperature, humidity and air pressure via the intuitive user interface. Choose the logging interval (1s – 4h) and the logging duration (1min – nonstop) and let the FireStingGO2 do the job. Leading-edge technology with ultra-low power consumption offers unsurpassed logging durations without recharging the battery. At 1s logging interval a fully charged battery will typically last for >1 week, at 10s logging interval typ. > 2 months, and at 10min logging interval typ. >1 year! If this is not enough for you, simply connect an external power bank to the micro USB port of the FireStingGO2, which will scale up the maximum possible logging durations even more.

Huge data memory

The FireStingGO2 comes with a built-in data memory of 4GB of industrial grade giving space for ca. 40 million data points. This huge data memory will offer you virtually unlimited data memory even during long expeditions. Even if you log at 1s logging intervals, you will not have filled up this huge data memory after 1 year of around-the-clock operation!

Versatile PC software

The FireStingGO2 Manager software (Windows) is used for downloading and analysing the logged data from the device. Moreover, this software allows to control the device (adjusting settings, calibration, start/stop logging) without using the user interface of the FireStingGO2.

Micro USB port

The micro USB port can be used for recharging the internal battery with any standard recharger and/or computer USB port and for data communication with the versatile “FireStingGO2 Manager” software (Windows).

Innovative REDFLASH Technology

The REDFLASH technology from Pyro Science is based on the unique oxygen-sensitive REDFLASH dyes. In contrast to common techniques using blue-light excitation, the REDFLASH dyes are excitable with orange-red light and show an oxygen-dependent luminescence in the near infrared (NIR). The REDFLASH technology impresses by its high precision, high reliability, low power consumption, low cross-sensitivity, and fast response times. The orange-red light excitation significantly reduces interferences caused by autofluorescent samples. Further, the NIR detection technology significantly reduces interference with ambient light, known from the old blue-light techniques.

Integrated Pressure and Humidity Sensors for Easy Calibration

The FireStingGO2 device comes with integrated sensors for atmospheric pressure and relative humidity of the ambient air, which are important parameters for precision calibrations of oxygen sensors. This offers an user-friendly and fail-safe calibration procedure at ambient air, as the relevant pressure and humidity values are measured automatically.

Automatic Pressure Compensation

The integrated pressure sensor is used additionally for automatic pressure compensation of oxygen measurements performed e.g. in units of %O2 or %air sat. These oxygen units show a dependency on atmospheric pressure changes (weather changes).

FireStingO2

The compact FireSting-O2 is a PC-controlled (USB) fiber-optic oxygen meter can be combined with the complete optical oxygen sensor and optical temperature sensor portfolio from PyroScience, ranging from microsensors (50 µm tip) to robust probes (3 mm tip), and including also diverse smart contactless sensor solutions. Most oxygen sensor types are available for the full O2 range and for a lower trace oxygen range (0-10%). Automatic temperature compensation of the oxygen measurements in samples with varying temperatures is possible with an optical temperature sensor connected to an optical channel or with a Pt100 temperature probe connected to the temperature port of the FireSting-O2. With the included user-friendly logger software several meters can be operated within one Pyro Workbench window. The integrated Pyro Data Inspector features multiple functions like drift compensation or calculation of oxygen rates.

Also available as 1-channel and 2-channel version.

Integrated Pressure and Humidity Sensors

All FireSting devices come with integrated sensors for atmospheric pressure (mbar) and relative humidity (%RH) of the ambient air for a user-friendly precision calibration procedure in water or ambient air. The integrated pressure sensor can be used for automatic pressure compensation of oxygen measurements performed e.g. in units of %O2, %air saturation or in DO concentration units (µmol/L, mg/L). These oxygen units show a strong dependence on atmospheric pressure changes (weather changes, altitude). Automatic pressure compensation is integrated seamlessly into the included innovative logger software / user interface.

Analog Output

This device has 4 integrated analog outputs (0..2.5V), which can be configured and scaled with the included software. Optionally, each analog output can be also configured as an alarm output (e.g. for control tasks like observing a defined oxygen level in fish tanks).

Broadcast Mode

This meter can be operated optionally without any PC connected in the so-called broadcast mode. Simply activate the broadcast mode by connecting and powering the meter with a standard micro-USB charger (as used for mobile phones). The measured sensor data are read out via the analog output (or via the serial interface of the extension port).
