What is the low alarm level activation setting for oxygen on the LTX 310 detector?

The low alarm level activation setting for oxygen on the LTX 310 detector is set at 19.5%. This is a critical threshold, as maintaining an appropriate level of oxygen is vital for the safety of miners and the operation of underground environments. Levels below this threshold could indicate a potentially hazardous situation, as oxygen levels dropping too low can lead to dangerous conditions such as asphyxiation or impaired cognitive function among workers.

The choice of 19.5% as the low alarm setting is based on safety regulations and guidelines that prioritize worker health and safety in confined spaces. It ensures immediate alerts for miners if the oxygen levels drop, allowing them to take necessary precautions or evacuate if necessary. Recognizing this specific value helps mine foremen and safety personnel to act proactively in preventing accidents and maintaining a safe working environment.
