Default O2 sensor volts question

How do you read them? If the volts show 200? is that rich or lean. What end of the scale means rich and which means lean.

Default Re: O2 sensor volts question (88_vette)

Narrow band O2 sensors operate from 0 to 950mV. O = lean and 905 = rich.

When a car is running correctly the O2 sensor will vary from as less than 200mV to as high as 850mV if its steady at 800+ the engine is very rich and likewise at the other end of the scale it is indicating lean.
