Helium Analyser

Both Rob and my O2 analysers have just packed in, so with a bill of
£130 or so for two new cells, I'm thinking we might be better off
clubbing together for a He analyser.

I've had a look at the analox site and for £485+vat (list) their
analyser looks a fair deal.

Who's using what out there now and what can you recommend?

Remember, this is Dig's speaking, I don't know one end of a PCB from
another, so skip the build it yourself bits please.

Wooo. It used to be about a hundred quid up on that a week or so ago.

I've got the Abyss one. I had trouble with the
flow restrictor but nothing a little violence
couldn't solve. About 700+ quid though.

You've heard of a PCB - thats a good start!

I've got a DiveRite He Analyser - now, I'd go for the HeliOx Analyser or the
Oxycheq version.

I was lucky enough to be allowed to evaluate the Analox He Beta unit - I
remain unconvinced regarding the robustness or design using cells.

When you've decided, let me know which one.

Does that do He and O2 then? You might want to look at
http://www.oxycheq.com also. The Teledyne one looks
rather nice :)

As in http://www.analox.net/site/product_i...products_id=45
are we talking about the same box?

It was pointed out to me a cheaper than mine but if you wait electronic
things are always cheaper or more features or both so you just wait for it
to get down to what you're prepared to pay.

Saved my neck on the Normoxic course. The shop served up 18/12
as 18/30. I would have been totally out of my tree at 59m when a cell
threw a wobbly.
