Model 3000PA DANGER COMBUSTIBLE GAS USAGE WARNING This is a general purpose instrument designed for usage in a nonhazardous area. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure safety especially when combustible gases are being analyzed since the potential of gas leaks always exist. The customer should ensure that the principles of operating of this equipment is well understood by the user. Misuse of this product in any manner, tampering with its components, or unau- thorized substitution of an

Percent Oxygen Analyzer Introduction 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview The Teledyne Analytical Instruments Model 3000PA Percent Oxygen Analyzer is a versatile microprocessor- based instrument for detecting the percentage of oxygen in a variety of background gases. This manual covers the Model 3000PA General Purpose flush-panel and/or rack-mount units only. These units are for indoor use in a nonhazardous environment. 1.2 Typical Applications A few typical applications of the Model 3000PA are: Moni

Electronic Signal Processing, Display and Control The sample system is designed to accept the sample gas and transport it through the analyzer without contaminating or altering the sample prior to analysis. The Micro-Fuel Cell is an electrochemical galvanic device that translates the amount of oxygen present in the sample in

(All of the reactants are stored externally in a true fuel cell.) 2.2.2 Anatomy of a Micro-Fuel Cell The Micro-Fuel Cell is a cylinder only 1¼ inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. It is made of extremely inert plastic, which can be placed confi- dently in practically any environment or sample stream. It is effectively sealed, although one end is permeable to oxygen i

The cathode has many perforations to ensure sufficient wetting of the upper surface with electrolyte, and it is plated with an inert metal. The anode structure is below the cathode. It is made of lead and has a proprietary design which is meant to maximize the amount of metal available for chemical reaction. At the rear of the cell, just below the anode structure, is a flexibl

The output of the fuel cell is limited by (1) the amount of oxygen in the cell at the time and (2) the amount of stored anode material. In the absence of oxygen, no current is generated. 2.2.4 The Effect of Pressure In order to state the amount of oxygen present in the sample as a per- centage of t
