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 any component m

Percent Oxygen Analyzer Introduction 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview The Teledyne Electronic Technologies Analytical Instruments (TETAI) Model 3300PA is a microprocessor-based percent oxygen analyzer for real- time measurement of the percent of oxygen in inert gases, or in a wide variety of gas mixtures. It features simple operation, fast response, and a compact, rugged construction. Typical applications of the Model 3300PA are monitoring nitrogen generators and inert gas blanketing applications.

1 Introduction Model 3300PA Operator can select Autoranging, which allows the analyzer to automatically select the proper preset range for a given measurement, or he can lock the analyzer onto a single range. Two concentration alarms with adjustable setpoints. Sensor failure alarm. Three analog outputs: two for measurement (0–10 V dc, and negative ground 4–20 mA dc) and one for range identification (0-10 V dc). Compact and rugged Control Unit with flush-panel case. Designed for ind

Percent Oxygen Analyzer Operational Theory 2 Operational Theory 2.1 Introduction The analyzer is composed of two subsystems: 1. Analysis Unit with Micro-Fuel Cell Sensor 2. Control Unit with Signal Processing, Display and Controls The Analysis Unit is designed to accept the sample gas and direct it to the sensitive surface of the Micro-Fuel Cell sensor. The Micro-Fuel Cell is an electrochemical galvanic device that translates the amount of oxygen present in the sample into an electrical current

2 Operational Theory Model 3300PA Micro-Fuel Cell is therefore a hybrid between a battery and a true fuel cell. (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 made of extremely inert plastic (which can be placed confidently in practically any environment or sample stream). It is effec- tively sealed, though one end is permeable to oxygen in the sample gas. At the permeable end a screen retains a diffusion mem

Percent Oxygen Analyzer Operational Theory 2 The space between the active elements is filled by a structure saturated with electrolyte. Cathode and anode are wet by this common pool. They each have a conductor connecting them, through some electrical circuitry, to one of the external contacts in the connector receptacle, which is on the top of the cell. 2.2.3 Electrochemical Reactions The sample gas diffuses through the Teflon membrane. Any oxygen in the sample gas is reduced on the surface of

2 Operational Theory Model 3300PA If the pressure changes, the rate that oxygen reaches the cathode through the diffusing membrane will also increase. The electron transfer, and therefore the external current, will increase, even though the proportion of oxygen has not changed. Fortunately, Dalton's Law confirms that every gas in a mixture contributes the same pressure to the mixture that it would exert if it were alone in the same amount in that same volume. This means that as long a

Percent Oxygen Analyzer Operational Theory 2 2.3 Electronics 2.3.1 General The signal processing uses an Intel microcontroller with on-board RAM and ROM to control all signal processing, input/output, and display functions for the analyzer. System power is supplied from a universal power supply module designed to be compatible with most international power sources. The power supply circuitry is on the Power Supply PCB, which is mounted vertically, just behind the rear panel of the Control Unit

2 Operational Theory Model 3300PA In the presence of oxygen the cell generates a current. This current flows through an internal thermistor compensation network. The output of the sensor is converted to voltage in the millivolt range. This output is fed to a voltage amplifier. The internal thermistor network provides temperature compensation of the sensor output. The resistance of the network changes with temperature, compensating for the changes of the microfuel cell output to tem
