ALPHA OMEGA INSTRUMENTS CORPUSER MANUAL
1 Overview
1.1 Instrument Description
The Series 9600 Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Analyzer provides an accurate and repeatable
measurement of both oxygen and carbon dioxide in a variety of gas streams. The instrument is
powered from a universal power supply equipped to accept 90-264 VAC, 47-63Hz. Optional
equipment includes pressure regulators, particulate and coalescing filters, and a vacuum pump for
conditions when the sample gas lacks sufficient pressure to move the sample through the instrument's
plumbing.
The analyzer is housed in a NEMA 1 equivalent enclosure rated for general purpose indoor use.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide values are displayed on a 4 line by 20 character liquid crystal display
(LCD) with a total height of 0.81" (20.8 mm). The front panel also includes a membrane panel with
seven buttons that provide access to the analyzer's settings. The instrument is equipped with two
alarm relays (see specifications) which are user configurable and can optionally be set for fail-safe
operation. In addition to the alarm relays, the Series 9600 Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Analyzer has a
built-in audible alarm and two front panel light emitting diodes (LEDs) for visual indication of an alarm
condition. The audible alarm can be canceled by the user, however the alarm event will still be in
effect and indications of the alarm condition will still be available through the front panel LEDs and
relay contact(s). A flow meter is mounted on the front panel of the instrument and is standard
equipment for the Series 9600 Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Analyzer. A flow meter with integrated
flow control needle valve is available as optional equipment. The standard Series 9600 Oxygen and
Carbon Dioxide Analyzer comes equipped with two direct current (DC) analog outputs. These analog
outputs can be independently configured for 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA. Both are scalable over the
operating range of the instrument's sensors. Using a terminating resistor on either of these outputs
can also provide any analog voltage in the range of 0-10 volts (see general specifications on page 4
for maximum resistance).
1.1.1 Oxygen Sensor
The Series 9600 Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Analyzer features an ambient temperature
electrochemical sensor with an Enhanced Electrolyte System (EES). One of the features of the EES is
the use of a weak acid electrolyte in place of potassium hydroxide. This produces a sensor with a
greatly extended useful life and excellent measurment stability.
1.1.2 CO2 Sensor
The Series 9600 Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Analyzer uses a non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensor
to determine the carbon dioxide concentrations in gases. Infrared gas sensors, which are comprised of
solid state devices, do not chemically react with the gas.
1.1.3 Water Vapor
The Series 9600 Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Analyzer incorporates a CO2 sensor that uses a high
precision optical system. Therefore, in order to provide accurate and repeatable data, it is essential
that the CO2 sensor not be exposed to condensed water or liquids of any type. The dew point
temperature of the sample gas should always be lower than the temperature of the NDIR sensor, thus
helping to prevent the condensation of water vapor on the sensor’s optics. If it is anticipated that the
sample gas may be saturated with water vapor, provisions should be made to remove the water by

The RS-232C Serial Communications option is installed at the factory and is designed for applications
where enhanced serial communications is required between the Series 9600 Oxygen and Carbon
Dioxide Analyzer and a host system. The maximum distance from the host system is 50 feet.
1.2.7 Isolated RS-485C Serial CommunicationsP/N 96-RS4
The RS-485 Serial Communications option is installed at the factory and is designed for applications
where enhanced serial communications is required between the Series 9600 Oxygen and Carbon
Dioxide Analyzer and a host system over a distance greater than 50 feet. The maximum distance from
the host system is 4000 feet.

2.1 Unpacking the Instrument
Upon opening the shipping container, carefully unpack the instrument to check if the outer surfaces
have been damaged. If so, report the findings immediately to Alpha Omega Instruments who will, in
turn, provide further instructions.
NOTE: IF DAMAGE HAS BEEN FOUND, DO NOT PROCEED
FURTHER, BUT INSTEAD, CONTACT THE FACTORY.
If there is no apparent damage, check the contents to ensure all items were shipped. In some cases,
items may be back ordered. All damage and shortage claims must be made known to Alpha Omega Instruments within 10 days after receipt of shipment. Carefully rotate the analyzer and
check to make sure no components have been loosened or dislodged. If there are loose or dislodged components (rattling of any kind),contact the factory for further instructions. If there
is no evidence of loose or dislodged components, the installation procedure can begin.
