SECTION 1
DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
1-1 OVERVIEW
The Model 755A Oxygen Analyzer provides
digital readout of the oxygen content of a
flowing gas sample. Oxygen is strongly
paramagnetic; other common gases, with only
a few exceptions, are weakly diamagnetic.
A front panel liquid crystal display provides
direct digital readout of oxygen concentration.
In addition a field-selectable voltage output is
provided as standard. An isolated current
output of 0 to 20 mA or 4 to 20 mA is
obtainable with the optional Current Output
Board. Current and voltage output may be
utilized simultaneously if desired.
6 Digit LCD Display
The basic electronic circuitry is incorporated
into two master boards: The Control Board
Assembly and the Case Circuit Board
Assembly (see Figure 1-2, page 1-3). The
Control Board has a receptacle which accepts
optional circuit boards, thus permitting
inclusion of such features as current output.

1-3 OXYGEN RANGES FOR RECORDER
READOUT
If desired, the recorder output may be set for
a fullscale range of 0 to 100% oxygen.
Alternatively, a desired portion of this overall
range may be selected for fullscale
presentation on the recorder. The selection is
made by an appropriate combination of scale
expansion and zero suppression.
Scale Expansion
Fullscale oxygen span for the recorder is
switch selectable for 1%, 2%, 5%, 10%, 20%,
or 100% oxygen.
Zero Suppression
The desired zero suppression is obtained as
the sum of (a) a jumper selectable fixed value
of 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% or 80% oxygen and
(b) a continuously adjustable value of 0% to
25% oxygen. Thus the electronic circuitry
provides the capability of setting the total zero
suppression for any desired value from 0% up
to a theoretical maximum of 105% oxygen.
However, the maximum usable zero
suppression is 99%, which is used in
establishing a range of 99% to 100%.
The effective zero suppression, in volts, may
be read on the digital display by placing the
front panel TEST Switch in position 4 and the
Reorder Oxygen Span Selection Switch in 1 X
gain position (i.e., 100% oxygen)
Example:
Desired oxygen range for recorder output:
99% to 100% oxygen.
Required span is 1% oxygen, obtained by
jumper position.
Required zero suppression is 99% oxygen.
Thus, fixed zero suppression of 80% oxygen
is selected by jumper position, and adjustable
zero suppression is set for 19% oxygen.
1-4 RECORDER VOLTAGE AND CURRENT
OUTPUTS
Voltage Outputs (Standard)
Provided a standard is a jumper selectable
voltage output of 0 to 10 mV, 0 to 100 mV, 0
to 1 V, or 0 to 5 V DC.
Isolated Current Output (Option)
An isolated current output is obtainable with
the optional Current Output Board, either
included with the Model 755A or added at a
later date in the field.
This option provides a current output of either 0 to
20mA or 4 to 20mA for a maximum of 850 ohms.
Refer to Section 8 Replacement Parts, for the
part number of the Isolated Current Output
option.
NOTE
Voltage and current outputs may be used
simultaneously, if desired.
1-5 AUTOMATIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION
The oxygen readout is automatically corrected for
pressure variations within 3% of the target value,
which may be set anywhere within the range of -
2.7 to 3.3 psig ±3 psig (-18.6 to 22.8 kPa ±21 kPa.
1-6 OPTIONS
a. Alarm

g. Alarm Relay Characteristics
The ALARM 1 and ALARM 2. Outputs of
the Alarm Relay Assembly are provided
by two identical single-pole double-throw
relays. Relay contacts are rated:
Removal of AC power from the analyzer,
as in a power failure, de-energizes both
relays, placing them in alarm condition.
Switching characteristics of the ALARM 1
and ALARM 2 relays are as follows:
ALARM 1 Relay - The ALARM 1 relay
coil is de-energized when the meter
needle moves downscale through the
value that corresponds to setpoint minus
deadband. This relay coil is energized
when the needle moves upscale through
the value that corresponds to setpoint
plus deadband. See Figure 2-5A, page 2-
6.
ALARM 2 Relay - The ALARM 2 relay
coil is de-energized when the meter
needle moves upscale through the value
that corresponds to the setpoint plus
deadband. This relay coil is energized
when needle moves downscale through
the value that corresponds to setpoint
minus deadband. See Figure 2-5B, page
2-6.
Alarm Reset - Normally both the ALARM
1 and ALARM 2 functions incorporate
automatic reset. When the meter reading
goes beyond the pre-selected limits, the
corresponding relay is de-energized.
When the meter reading returns within the
acceptable range, the relay is
automatically substituting an external
pushbutton or other momentary-contact
switch for the jumper that normally
connects the RESET terminals on the
Alarm Relay Assembly. If the
corresponding relay is now de-energized,
i.e., in alarm condition, the relay remains
de-energized until the operator
momentarily closes the switch.
Fail-Safe Applications - By appropriate
connection to the double-throw relay
contacts, it is possible to obtain either a
contact closure or a contact opening for
an energized relay. Also, either a contact
closure or a contact opening may be
obtained for a de-energized relay.
It is important that, for fail-safe
applications, the user understand wheat
circuit conditions are desired in the event
of power failure and the resultant relay
de-energization. Relay contacts should
then be connected accordingly. Refer to
Figure 2-6, page 2-6.

2-5 CALIBRATION GASES
a. Zero Calibration Gas
Zero-based range - Normally uses a
oxygen-free gas, typically nitrogen.
Zero-suppressed range - Uses a blend
consisting of a suitable percentage of
oxygen contained in a background gas,
typically nitrogen.
b. Downscale Standard Gas
Digital Display - Typically, although not
necessarily, the downscale standard gas
will be oxygen-free, such as nitrogen.
Recorder Readout - The downscale
standard gas is selected to establish a
calibration point at or near the lower
range limit.
c. Upscale Standard Gas
available for applications involving corrosive
gases. With corrosive gases, complete drying
of the sample is desirable, as most of these
gases are practically inert when totally dry.
For specific corrosive applications, consult the
factory.
a. Sample Temperature Requirements
Sample temperature at the analyzer inlet
should be in the range of 50°V to 150°F
(10°C to 66°C). With a thoroughly dry
sample, entry temperature can be as high
as 150°F (66°C) without affecting readout
accuracy. Normally, a maximum entry
temperature of 110°F (43°C) is
recommended so that the sample
temperature will rise during passage of
the sample through the analyzer. This
precaution ensures against cooling of the
sample and possible condensation of
moisture. Such condensation should be
avoided as it may damage the detector.
Digital Display - Typically, the upscale
standard gas will be a readily obtained
gas such as dry air (20.93% oxygen) or
1005 oxygen.
Recorder Readout - A suitable upscale
standard gas is required to establish a
calibration point at or near the upper
range limit. If this range limit is 21% or
somewhat above 21%, the usual standard
gas is dry air (20.93% oxygen).
2-6 SAMPLE HANDLING
CAUTION
PRESSURE LIMIT
Under no circumstances allow pressure to
exceed 10 psig (69 kPa) as irreparable
damage to the detector may result.
Many different sample handling systems are
available, depending on the requirements of
the individual user. Most sample handling
systems have copper or brass components;
however, stainless steel components are
b. Sample Pressure Requirements:
General
Operating pressure limits are the
following: maximum, 10 psig (69 kPa
gauge pressure); minimum, -1.9 psig (-
13.1 kPa).
CAUTION
OPERATING LIMITS
Operation outside the specified limits may
damage the detector and will void the
warranty.
Oxygen readout is automatically corrected
for atmospheric pressure variations within
±3% of the target value, which may be set
anywhere within the range of -2.7 to 3.3
psig ±3 psig (-18.6 to 22.8 kPa ±21 kPa).
The basic rule for pressure of sample and
standard gases supplied to the inlet is to
calibrate the analyzer at the same
pressure that will be used during
subsequent operation and to maintain this

c. Normal Operation at Positive Gauge
Pressures
Pressure at Sample Inlet (All
Instruments) - Normally, the sample is
supplied to the analyzer inlet at a positive
gauge pressure in the range of 0 to 10
psig (0 to 69 kPa).
CAUTION
HIGH PRESSURE SURGES
High pressure surges during admission of
sample or standard gases can damage the
detector.
Sample Exhaust - The analyzer exhaust
is vented directly to the atmosphere
through an exhaust line with inner
diameter sufficiently large as not to cause
any back pressure. Internal circuitry
automatically corrects the oxygen readout
to within ±1% of fullscale for atmospheric
pressure variations within ±3% of target
value and within ±2% of fullscale for
barometric pressure variations within ±5%
of target value. The target value may be
set anywhere within range of -2.7 to 3.3
psig ±3 psig (-18.6 to 22.8 kPa ±21 kPa).
d. Operation at Negative Gauge
Pressures
Operation below this limit may damage
the detector and will void the warranty.
e. Sample Flow Rate
Operating limits for sample flow rate are
the following: Minimum 50 cc/min.;
maximum 500 cc/min. A flow rate of less
than 50 cc/min. is too slow to sweep out
the detector and associated flow system
efficiently resulting in a slow system
response. Too rapid a flow will cause a
back pressure that will affect the reading.
The optimum flow rate is between 200
and 300 cc/min.
Deviation from the set flow should be held
to within ±1% or ±2 cc/min, whichever is
smaller. If so, zero and span drift will be
within the limits given on the
specifications page, provided that
operating pressure remains constant.
Bypass Flow - Preferably the analyzer
should be installed near the sample
source to minimize transport time.
Otherwise the time lag may be
appreciable. For example, assume that
sample is supplied to the analyzer via a
100 foot (30.5 m) length of 1/4 inch (6.35
mm) O.D. thin walled tubing. With a flow
rate of 100 cc/min., sample transport time
is approximately 6 minutes.
Operation at negative gauge pressures is
not recommended but may be used in
certain special applications. A suction
pump is connected to the analyzer
exhaust port to draw sample into the inlet
and through the analyzer. Such operation
necessitates special precautions to
ensure accurate readout. There is the
basic consideration of supplying the
standard gases to the analyzer at the
same pressure that will be used for the
sample during subsequent operation. In
addition, any leakage will result in
decreased readout accuracy as compared
with operation at atmospheric pressure.
The minimum permissible operating
pressure is -1.9 psig (-13.1 kPa).
Rosemount Analytical Inc. A Division of Emerson Process Management Installation 2-9
Sample transport time may be reduced by
piping a greater flow than is required to
the analyzer, then routing only the
appropriate portion of the total flow
through the analyzer. The unused portion
of the sample may be returned to the
stream or discarded.
Instruction Manual
245364-V
May 2002
Model 755A
f. Corrosive Gases
In applications where the sample stream
contains corrosive gases, a complete
drying of the sample is desirable, as most
of these gases are practically inert when
totally dry.
For corrosive applications, consult the
factory.
WARNING
RADIOACTIVE SAMPLE GASES
Radioactive sample gases require the
stainless steel tubing option.
2-7 LEAK TEST
WARNING
POSSIBLE EXPLOSION HAZARD
This analyzer is of the type capable of
analysis of sample gases which may be
flammable. If used for analysis of such
gases, the instrument must be either in an
explosion-proof enclosure suitable for the
gas, or, protected by a continuous dilution
purge system in accordance with Standard
ANSI/NFPA-496 (Chapter 8) or IEC
Publication 79-2-1983 (Section Three)
Leaks must be corrected before introduction
of flammable sample and/or application of
electrical power. Liberally cover all fittings,
seals, and other possible sources of leakage
with a suitable leak test liquid such as
SNOOP (PN 837801). Bubbling or foaming
indicates leakage. Checking for bubbles will
locate most leaks but could miss some
because some are inaccessible to application
of SNOOP. For positive assurance that
system is leak-free, use the flow stoppage
test.
If explosive gases are introduced into this
analyzer, the sample containment system
must be carefully leak-checked upon
installation and before initial start-up,
during routine maintenance and any time
the integrity of the sample containment
system is broken, to ensure the system is
in leak-proof condition.
Internal leaks resulting from failure to
observe these precautions could result in
an explosion causing death, personal
injury and/or property damage.
Supply air or inert gas, such as nitrogen, at 10
psig (69 kPa) to analyzer via a flow indicator
with range of 0 to 250 cc/min. Set flow at 125
cc/min. Plug sample outlet. Flow reading
should drop to zero. If not, system is leaking.

OPERATION
3. Select the required zero suppression
by appropriate settings of the
following:
a. Set Recorder Zero Suppression
Jumper for fixed value of 0%,
20%, 40%, 60% or 80% oxygen.
3-2 SELECTION OF RECORDER OXYGEN
RANGE
The digital display provides readout over the
full range of 0.00% to 100.00% oxygen,
eliminating the requirement for expandedscale operation. With a recorder, however,
resolution is normally limited to approximately
1% of fullscale. Thus, if the recorder output is
to be the important display medium for the
particular application, expanded-scale
operation may be necessary to obtain the
desired readout accuracy. Such operation is
obtained by an appropriate combination of
scale expansion and zero suppression.
a. Recorder Oxygen Range Selection
Procedure
Refer to Table 3-1 (page 3-5) and Figure
3-2 (page 3-7).
1. Verify that Recorder Voltage Output
Jumper is in the position appropriate
to the recorder: 10 mV, 100 mV, 1 V
or 5 VDC.
2. Place the Recorder Oxygen Span
Jumper in the position appropriate to
the desired span. Note that on the
circuit board switch positions are
marked according to the amplifier
gain.
b. Set Recorder Zero Suppression
Coarse Adjustment R41 for
appropriate value in the range of
05 to 25% oxygen.
NOTE:
The actual applied zero suppression
may be measured and established via
readout on the digital display per the
procedure of Section 3-2b (page 3-3).

NOTE:
The Zero and Span adjustments on the
analyzer door are used only for the
calibration of the digital readout for 0

The suppressed recorder ranges may
only be set up after the digital readout
has been calibrated. When setting up
a suppressed recorder range, use only
R41, R104 (setpoint) and R88 (Span)
for adjustments. DO NOT RE-ADJUST
THE ZERO AND SPAN CONTROLS ON
THE ANALYZER DOOR.

•
Desired oxygen range for recorder
output: 90% to 100%.
•
Required span of 10% oxygen (100%
- 90%) is selected when Recorder
Oxygen Span Jumper is placed in the
10X gain position.
•
Required zero suppression is 90%
oxygen, thus Recorder Zero
Suppression Jumper, is placed in
80% position, the highest setting
below the zero suppression level, and
R41, Recorder Zero Suppression
Coarse Adjustment, and R104,
Recorder Zero Suppression Fine
Adjustment, are adjusted for the
additional 10% required to reach the
desired zero suppression level (90%
desired level - 80% zero suppression
Jumper).
b. Readout of Applied Zero-Suppression
Voltage on Digital Display
In order to establish the precise zero
suppression required for the desired
recorder oxygen range, the actual applied
zero suppression voltage may be read on
the digital display.
Procedure:
1. Verify that Recorder Voltage Output
Jumper is in the position appropriate
to the recorder: 10 mV, 100 mV, 1 V
or 5 VDC.
2. Place the front panel TEST switch in
position 4, thus disconnecting the
signal input to permit display of the
zero-suppression voltage only.
3. Temporarily place Recorder Oxygen
Span Jumper in 100% oxygen (i.e.,
1X gain) position. The digital display
will now read the applied zero
suppression voltage in the range of
0.00 volt (equivalent to 0% oxygen) to
10.00 volts (equivalent to 100%
oxygen).
4. Obtain the required zero suppression
by appropriate combination of settings
on the Recorder Zero Suppression
Jumper and Recorder Zero
Suppression Adjustments R41 and
R104, as indicated by an exactly
correct reading on the digital display.
5. Return the Recorder Oxygen Span
Jumper to the normal operating
position for the selected range.
6. Set the front panel TEST switch to
position 1.
Example: With a highly expanded scale
such as the 99% to 100% oxygen range
of this example, a slight readjustment of
R104 may be required to set the recorder
pen at the precisely correct position on
the chart.

3-3 STARTUP PROCEDURE
WARNING
POSSIBLE EXPLOSION HAZARD
If gases are introduced into this analyzer,
the sample containment system must be
carefully leak-checked upon installation
and before initial start-up, during routine
maintenance and any time the integrity of
the sample containment system is broken,
to ensure the system is in leak-proof
condition. Leak-check instructions are
provided in Section 2-7, page 2-10.
Internal leakage of sample resulting from
failure to observe these precautions could
result in an explosion causing death,
personal injury, or property damage.
Pass suitable on-scale gas (not actual
sample) through the analyzer. Turn power
ON. If digital display gives over-range
indication, the probable cause is hang-up of
the suspension within the detector assembly.
To correct this condition, turn power OFF; tap
detector compartment with fingers; wait 30
seconds; re-apply power.
When on-scale reading is obtained, allow
analyzer to warm up for at least one hour with
gas flowing. This warm-up is necessary
because a reliable calibration is obtainable
only after the analyzer reaches temperature
stability. Moreover, the resultant elevated
temperature will ensure against condensation
within, and possible damage to the detector
assembly.
After analyzer warm-up, the digital display or
recorder should give stable, drift-free readout;
if so, proceed to Section 3.3. Otherwise refer
to Section 6, Service and Maintenance.
3-4 CALIBRATION
Calibration for oxygen readout consists of
establishing a downscale and upscale point.
a. Calibration Using Digital Readout for
Oxygen Readout
The digital display covers the full range of
0.00% to 100.005 oxygen and thus will
normally be used as the readout device
during calibration. If so, almost any
down-scale and upscale standards may
be used. Typically the downscale
standard will be an oxygen-free gas such
as nitrogen, and the upscale standard will
be some readily obtained gas such as dry
air (20.93% oxygen) or 100% oxygen.
Purity requirements will be dictated by the
accuracy requirements of the application.
b. Calibration Using Recorder for Oxygen
Readout
In some applications the recorder readout
may be the important display and may
thus be used during calibration. If so, the
down-scale standard gas is selected to
establish a calibration point at or near the
lower range-limit of the selected range:
1. A zero-based range normally uses an
oxygen-free gas, typically nitrogen.

2. A zero-suppressed range uses a

percentage of oxygen contained in a
background gas, typically nitrogen.

establish a calibration point at or near the
upper range limit. For example, if this

range, use only R41, R104 (setpoint)
and R88 (Span) for adjustments. DO
NOT RE-ADJUST THE ZERO AND
SPAN CONTROLS ON THE
ANALYZER DOOR.
c. Adjust ZERO Control so that
the reading on the digital
display or recorder is
appropriate to the downscale
standard gas. (The required
reading may be the actual
oxygen content of the
downscale standard gas or
may be an adjusted value,
depending on the relative
magnetic susceptibilities
involved. Refer to Section 35c, page 3-10). If proper
reading is not obtained by an
adjustment of the ZERO
Control, refer to Section 6,
Service and Maintenance.
2. Set upscale calibration point as
follows:
a. Verify that front panel TEST
switch is set to NORM.
b. Pass upscale standard gas
through analyzer at same flow
rate as was used for downscale
standard gas. Allow gas to
purge analyzer for minimum of 3
minutes.
c. Adjust SPAN Control so that
reading on digital display or
recorder is appropriate to the
upscale standard gas. (The
required reading may be the
actual oxygen content of the
upscale standard gas or may be
an adjusted value, depending
on the relative magnetic
susceptibilities involved. Refer
to Section 3-5c, page 3-10). If
proper reading is unobtainable
by adjustment of the SPAN
control, refer to Section 6,
Service and Maintenance.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 to ensure no
interaction has occurred.
d. Calibration of Automatic Pressure
Compensation
Oxygen readout is automatically
corrected to within ±1% of fullscale for
barometric pressure variations within
±3% of the target value and is corrected
to within ±2% of fullscale for variations
within ±5% of the target value. The
target value may be set anywhere within
the range of -2.7 to 3.3 psig ±3 psig (-
18.6 to 22.8 kPa ±21 kPa). The factory
setting is 0 psig (0 kPa). This setting is
suitable for applications where (a) the
analyzer exhaust port is vented directly
to the atmosphere, and (b) the
installation site is at or near sea level. If
conditions are otherwise, the pressure
compensation circuit must be recalibrated by the following procedure:

3-5 COMPENSATION FOR COMPOSITION OF
BACKGROUND GAS
Model 755A
Any gas having a compensation other than
100% oxygen contains background gas.
The background gas comprises all nonoxygen constituents.
Although instrument response to most gases
other than oxygen is comparatively slight, it
is not in all cases negligible. Contribution of
these components to instrument response
cab be computed for each individual case.
If the downscale and upscale standard
gases contain the same background gas as
the sample, the routine standardization
procedure automatically compensates for
the background components; therefore, they
introduce no error. If the background gas in
the sample is different from that in the
downscale and/or upscale standard gas(es),
however, background effects must be taken
into consideration to ensure correct readout.
During adjustment of the ZERO and SPAN
controls (on the analyzer door), the
instrument is set to indicate, not the true
oxygen content of the downscale and
upscale standard gases, but slightly different
values calculated to provide correct readout
during subsequent analysis of the sample
gas. The calculations are explained in
Section 3-5c below.
a. Oxygen Equivalent Values of Gases
For computation of background corrections, the
analyzer response to each component of the
sample must be shown.
Table 3-3 (page 3-11) lists the
percentage oxygen equivalent values for
many common gases.
To select a random example from Table
3-3 (page 3-11), if analyzer response to
oxygen is +100%, the response to
xenon would be -1.34%.
b. Oxygen Equivalents of Gas Mixtures
The oxygen equivalent of a gas mixture
is the sum of the contribution of the
individual gas components.
Example: At lower range limit, i.e., 0%
oxygen, composition of sample is 80%
CO
2
, 20% N2.
From Table 3-3(page 3-11), the %
oxygen equivalents are CO

% oxygen equivalent of the mixture =
0.8 x (-0.623) + 0.2 x (-0.358) = (-
0.4984) + (-0.0716) = -0.570
c. Computing Adjusted Settings for
Zero and Span Controls
During instrument calibration, Adjusted
Values may be required in setting the
ZERO and SPAN control to correct for
the magnetic susceptibility of the
background gas. Terms used in the
equation are defined as:
Standard Oxygen equivalent of
background gas in the standard. Refer
to Table 3-3 (page 3-11).
Special Oxygen equivalent of
background gas in the sample. Refer to
Table 3-3 (page 3-11) for values.
The percentage oxygen equivalent of a
gas is the instrument response to the
given gas compared to the response to
oxygen, assuming that both gases are
supplied at the same pressure.

Standard is the following:
Pure nitrogen for ZERO gas.
21% oxygen, 79% nitrogen for SPAN gas.

0 + =
0-100(-0.265)

= 0.265
100
Display should be made to read 0.265%
oxygen with ZERO control.
With SPAN gas (21% oxygen, 79%
nitrogen) flowing, Adjusted Value is the
following:
21
[100((-0.623)-(-0.358))]-100((-0.623)-(-0.358))
100
21+ =
0-211(-26.5)-(-26.5)
21+ = 21 + = 21.21%
100
100
-5.565+26.5
100
Display should be made to read 21.21%
oxygen with SPAN control.
In limiting cases the general equation
reduces to simpler forms:
1. If the SPAN gas is 100% oxygen,
there is no background gas and thus
no correction.
2. If the ZERO gas is oxygen-free, the
adjusted value for setting the ZERO
control becomes -((-0.623)-(-0.358)).
When the ZERO gas is more
diamagnetic than the background gas
in the sample, this difference is
negative. Use a recorder with belowzero capability to set negative values.

3-7 ROUTINE OPERATION
Model 755A
3-8 EFFECT OF BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
CHANGES ON INSTRUMENT READOUT
After the calibration procedure of Section 3-4
(page 3-4), admit sample gas to the analyzer
at the same pressure and the same flow rates
used for the zero and span gases. The
instrument will now continuously indicate the
oxygen content of the sample gas.
At this time, an adjustment of electronic
response time (R30 on the Control Board, see
Table 3-1, page 3-5, and Figure 3-2, page 3-
7), may be desirable to obtain the optimum
compromise between response speed and
noise.
If the analyzer exhaust port is vented through
a suitable absolute backpressure regulator,
and the installation site is at or near sea level,
barometric pressure changes do not affect the
percent oxygen readout. If conditions are
otherwise, the pressure compensation circuit
must be re-calibrated per Section 3-4d, page
3-8.
3-9 CALIBRATION FREQUENCY
The appropriate calibration interval will
depend on the accuracy required in the
particular application, and is best determined
by keeping a calibration log.

SECTION 4
THEORY
4-1 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Oxygen is strongly paramagnetic while most
other common gases are weakly diamagnetic.
The paramagnetism of oxygen may be
regarded as the capability of an oxygen
molecule to become a temporary magnet
when placed in a magnetic field. This is
analogous to the magnetization of a piece of
soft iron. Diamagnetic gases are analogous to
non-magnetic substances.
With the Model 755A, the volume magnetic
susceptibility of the flowing gas sample is
sensed in the detector/magnet assembly. As
shown in the functional diagram of Figure 4-2,
(page 4-3), a dumbbell-shaped, nitrogen-filled,
hollow glass test body is suspended on a
platinum/nickel alloy ribbon in a non-uniform
magnetic field.
Because of the “magnetic buoyancy” effect,
the spheres of the test body are subjected to
displacement forces, resulting in a
displacement torque that is proportional to the
volume magnetic susceptibility of the gas
surrounding the test body.
Measurement is accomplished by a
null-balance system, where the displacement
torque is opposed by an equal, but opposite,
restorative torque. The restorative torque is
due to electromagnetic forces on the spheres,
resulting from a feedback current routed
through a titanium wire conductor wound
lengthwise around the dumbbell.
In effect, each sphere is wound with a
one-turn circular loop. The current required to
restore the test body to null position is directly
proportional to the original displacement
torque, and is a linear function of the volume
magnetic susceptibility of the sample gas.
light from the source lamp is reflected off the
square mirror attached to the test body, and
onto the dual photocell.
The output current from the dual photocell is
equal to the difference between the signals
developed by the two halves of the photocell.
This difference, which constitutes the error
signal, is applied to the input of an amplifier
circuit that provides the restoring current.
When the test body is in null position, both
halves of the photocell are equally illuminated,
the error signal is zero, and the amplifier is
unequal. As soon as the test body begins to
rotate, the amounts of light becomes unequal,
resulting in application of an error signal to the
input of the amplifier circuit. The resultant
amplifier output signal is routed through the
current loop, thus creating the
electromagnetic forces required to restore the
test body to null position.
a. Magnetic Displacement Force
Because the magnetic forces on the
spherical ends of the test body are the
basis of the oxygen measurement, it is
worthwhile to consider the force acting on
one of these spheres alone and to
disregard, for the present, the remainder
of the detector. A small sphere
suspended in a strong non-uniform
magnetic field, Figure 4-1 (page 4-2), is
subjected to a force proportional to the
difference between the magnetic
susceptibility of this sphere and that of the
surrounding gas.
Magnitude of the force is expressed by
the following (simplified) equation:
F
k = c (k - ko)

optical bench assembly.
The magnet assembly includes a sample
pre-heating coil. It is connected into the
sample line upstream from the detector
and is heated to approximately the same
temperature as the detector assembly.
For convenience in servicing, the detector
and the optical bench are self-aligning
assemblies that utilize slip-on sample
connections and plug-in electrical
connections.

(page 4-4), the incoming preheated
sample passes through an integral 5
micron diffusion screen. It protects the
test body by preventing entry of
particulate matter and/or entrained liquid
mist. Additionally, the screen isolates the

instrument readout is relatively
independent of flow rate within the
optimum range of 200 to 300 cc/min.

Although normally calibrated for readout
in percent oxygen, the Model 755A
actually responds to oxygen partial
pressure. The partial pressure of the
oxygen component in a gas mixture is
proportional to the total pressure of the
mixture. Thus readout is affected by
pressure variations. However, the
instrument incorporates electronic
circuitry that provides automatic pressure
compensation for pressure variations
within ±3% of the target value, which may
be set anywhere in the range of -2.7 to

approximately the same temperature
as the detector.
3. The detector is maintained at a
controlled temperature of 150°F
(66°C).
c. Interferents
Instrument response to most non-oxygen
sample components is comparatively
slight but is not, in all cases, negligible.
Table 3-3 (page 3-11) lists the readings
that would be obtained with various gases
on an instrument previously calibrated
with 100% oxygen, assuming that all
gases are admitted at the same pressure.
During initial installation of an instrument
for a given application, effects of the
background gas should be calculated to
determine if correction is required. See
Section 3-5c, page 3-10.
d. Vibration Effects
Instrument Design
WARNING
POSSIBLE EXPLOSION HAZARD
Never subject the sensing unit to an
absolute pressure of less than 500 mm Hg
(66.7 kPa).
b. Temperature Effects
Magnetic susceptibilities and partial
pressures of gases vary with temperature.
In the Model 755A, temperature-induced
readout error is avoided by control of
temperatures in the following areas:
1. Interior of the analyzer case is
maintained at 140°F (60°C) by an
electronically controlled heater and
associated fan.
2. Immediately downstream from the
inlet port, prior to entry into the
detector, the sample is preheated by
To minimize vibration effects, the
detector/magnet assembly is contained in
a shock-mounted compartment, Figure
1-2 (page 1-3).
Installation
Avoid excessive vibration. In making
electrical connections, do not allow any
cable to touch the shock-mounted
detector/magnet assembly or the
associated internal sample inlet and outlet
tubing. This precaution ensures against
possible transmission of mechanical
vibration through the cable to the
detector, which would cause noisy
readout.
Electronic Response Time
If readout is noisy despite precautions
mentioned above, obtain slower electronic
response by counterclockwise adjustment
of Response Time Adjust R30 (see Table
3-2, page 3-6, and Figure 3-2, page 3-7).

4-3 ELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY
Electronic circuitry and internal
interconnection wiring is shown in the
schematic diagrams and wiring diagram in the
rear of this manual. For detailed circuit
analysis, refer to Section 5.
a. Detector/Magnet Assembly
A cross-sectional view of the optical
bench and detector assemblies is shown
in Figure 5-3B. Source lamp DS1,
powered by a supply circuit on the Case
Board (Section 4-3c, page 4-7), directs a
light beam onto the mirror attached to the
test body. The mirror reflects the beam
onto dual photocell BT1, BT2.
The difference between the signals
developed by the two halves of the
photocell constitutes the error signal
supplied to the input of amplifier U1 on
the Control Board. Amplifier U1 drives U2
which, in turn, supplies the restoring
current to the titanium wire loop on the
test body (see Section 4-1, page 4-1).
Elements of Detector Temperature
Control Circuit
Detector temperature is sensed by
thermistor RT1, an integral part of the
detector assembly (see Figure 4-3B, page
4-4). The thermistor provides the input
signal to the detector temperature control
circuit on the Case Board:
The output from this circuit is applied to
the two heaters within the
detector/magnet assembly; HR1,
mounted on the top of the magnet, and
HR2, mounted permanently on the rear of
the detector assembly.
b. Control Board and Associated
Circuitry
The Control Board contains signal
conditioning and control circuitry. The
Control Board is mounted on the inside of
the analyzer door (see Figure 1-2 on page
1-3).
The Control Board contains the following:
Input Amplifier U1
This amplifier receives the error signal
from the dual photocell of the detector
assembly and drives amplifier U2.
Amplifier U2 and Associated Zero
Adjustment
Amplifier U2 supplies the restoring current
to the titanium wire loop of the test body
within the detector assembly. Front panel
ZERO Control R13 applies an adjustable
zero biasing signal to the input of U2 to
permit establishing a zero calibration point
on the display or recorder. With
downscale zero standard gas flowing
through the analyzer, the ZERO control is
adjusted for the appropriate reading.
Amplifier U4 and A
Adjustment
Amplifier U4 and associated feedback
resistors provide a signal amplification of
X4, resulting in a signal level suitable for
analog divider circuit U6. Front panel
SPAN adjustment R16 modifies the value
of the input resistance and hence the
signal amplification factor. Adjustment
range is approximately ±30%.
The SPAN adjustment permits
establishing an upscale calibration point
on the display or recorder. With upscale
standard gas flowing through the
analyzer, the SPAN control is adjusted for
the appropriate reading.
Pressure Compensation Circuit
The pressure compensation circuit
consists of divider U6 and associated
components. This circuit provides a
pressure-corrected output signal
conditioned to the range of 0 to 10 VDC.
The circuit solves the follow equation:

c. Case Board
The Case Board contains power supply
and temperature control circuits. The
board is mounted inside of the analyzer
case (see Figure 1-2 on page 1-3).
The various circuits operate on main
power transformer T1. The two primary
windings of T1 are configured (at the
factory) for operation on either 120 VAC
or 220 VAC.
The Case Board consists of the following:

Since the anticipation network attenuates
the signal, a gain of 10 is provided in U10
to restore the signal to the desired
fullscale range of 0 to 10 VDC.
The pressure-corrected signal from U10 is
routed to two output circuit:
Digital Output Circuit. The signal from
U10 passes through TEST switch SW1
and a filter circuit to an integrating analogto-digital converter. The resulting digital
signal drives the liquid crystal display.

•
A detector compartment heater circuit.
•
A detector heater circuit.
•
A ±15VDC power supply.
•
A voltage regulating circuit for a stable

•
A digital output circuit for the digital readout.
•
An analog output circuit for recorder,
optional alarms and current output.
5-2 ±15VDC POWER SUPPLY
The components of the ±VDC power supply
circuit are located in the lower left-hand corner
of the Case Board. 19VAC should be
measured with respect to ground at CR5
(WO4). +15VDC should be measured at the
C27 (+) lead and -15VDC at the C28 (-) lead.
If the specified voltage measurements are
obtained, the power supply is working
correctly.
5-3 CASE HEATER CONTROL CIRCUIT
The case heater control circuit utilizes four
voltage-comparators (LM339 quad comparator). An understanding of how one of
these comparators functions is necessary
before any circuit analysis can be attempted.
In Figure 5-1 on page 5-2, comparators 1 and
2 are depicted having a comparator within an
overall comparator symbol. Also within this
symbol, the base of the NPN transistor is
connected to the output of the comparator.
-15VDC is supplied to the emitter. The
collector is illustrated as the overall output for
the comparator package.
The use of a transistor, built into the output of
the comparator, allows comparators to be
placed together in an OR circuit.
Comparators 1 and 2 (in Figure 5-1 on page
5-2) illustrate this logic principle.
When the non-inverting terminal of
comparator 2 is more positive than the
inverting terminal, the transistor does not
conduct and the collector of the transistor or
comparator output is at whatever potential is
then present on the collector.
When the non-inverting terminal of
comparator 2 is less positive (more negative)
than the inverting terminal, the transistor
conducts and the output of the comparator is
-15V. This value is the output of the OR
circuit.
Comparator 2 is biased at 0 volts on the
inverting terminal. Comparator 1 is biased at
about 159 mV on the non-inverting terminal.
Positive feedback or hysteresis is built into
each comparator circuit for stability or positive
action. This is achieved by the 20M ohm
resistances, R70 and R73.

An approximate 8V peak-to-peak AC signal is
applied to comparators 1 and 2. As the signal
starts going positive, comparator 2 transistor
ceases conducting and comparator 1
transistor is off. When the signal exceeds the
+159 mV on the non-inverting terminal, it
Summing the effects of the two comparators
in the OR circuit results in no output from the
comparators for about 4° of the sinewave, 2°

Comparator 1 stays on until the signal drops
below +159 mV, at which time the output will
be the value of the OR bus. As the AC signal
goes negative with respect to ground, the
transistor of comparator 2 conducts and the
output is again -15V. The output remains at
-15VDC until the incoming signal crosses zero
value and the positive signal causes the
comparator 2 transistor to cease to conduct.

plus the effect of the ramp generator, probably
-1.88 ±0.03V.
The on-off effect of the comparators to the OR
circuit results in application of a positive-going

On initial application of power to comparator 3
(Figure 5-3 on page 5-4), no potential exists
on the inverting terminal because no charge
exists on capacitor, C37. If the transistor of
comparator 3 does not conduct, +15V is at the
output terminal. With +15V at the output, the
potential on the non-inverting terminals will be
about ±2.3V because of the resistance
divider, R75, R76. Capacitor C37 will now
start to charge positively through R78.
When the positive potential across C37 and at
the inverting terminal of comparator 3
exceeds the potential on the non-inverting
terminals, the transistor conducts. The output
is -15V. A full 30V drop appears across R77.
The potential on the non-inverting terminal will
now be about -2.3V. C37 will not discharge
through R78 until its potential exceeds that on
the non-inverting terminal. At that time,
comparator 3 will switch polarity and start
charging C37 again. The result is that the
potential across C37 will vary almost linearly
with time and form a ramp signal of about 6
Hz.
As the potential across C37 increases and
decreases linearly, it affects the potential at
the top of the bridge circuit between R82 and
R83 through R74. Because of the ramp action
charging and discharging C37, the potential
between R82 and R83 varies approximately
from -1.85V to -1.92VDC.
The temperature sensing device, RT1, in the
bridge circuit is a thermistor. The bridge is
designed to control the temperature in the
case at 135°F (57°C). When the temperature
is 135°F (57°C), the resistance of the
thermistor RT1 will be at its lowest and the
potential at the junction of RT1 and R84
should be the same as the junction of R82
and R83. Comparator 4 (Figure 5-4 on page
5-5) does not allow pulses from the OR circuit
(comparators 1 and 2) to operate Q6 or Triac
Q7 in the case heater (Figure 5-5 on page 5-
6).

Figure 5-3. Case Heater Control Circuit
Theoretically, at 135°F (57°C) the potential at
the junction of RTR1 and R84 is -1.85VDC.
This is equivalent to a resistance of 21.2 K. By
substituting a decade box for the thermistor
and placing 20.2 K into the bridge, the heater
should be off. With 22.7 K, the heater should
be full on.
Since the potential at the junction of R82 and
R83 can vary between 1.85V and 1.92V
according to the 6 Hz ramp, and the potential at
the junction of RT1 and R84 may vary around or
within these limits, depending on temperature,
the error signal to comparator 4 may vary from
0 mV to some absolute value. The polarity of the
error signal will depend on the deviation from
the desired temperature and the ramp value at
the function of R82 and R83.
The input from the OR circuit comparator (See
Figure 5-1 on page 5-2) is either -15VDC or the
ramp effect on the bridge. When -15V, the
junction of R82 and R83 is also this value. The
error signal into comparator 4 is negatively large
to the inverting terminal. Comparator 4 output
transistor does not conduct. The base of Q6 is
positive; therefore, Q6 does not conduct and a
charge builds up on capacitor C38.

The input from the OR comparators 1 and 2, a
form of multivibrator circuit, pulses 120 times a
second. For about 100 microseconds the
junction of R82 and R83 is some value between
-1.85V and -1.92V, depending on the ramp
generator. For this brief period of time (one
pulse), comparator 4 compares the potential of
junction R82, R83 with junction RT1, R84 of the
bridge circuit. If the temperature at RT1 is low,
the potential at the non-inverting terminal of
comparator 4 is more negative and the output is
-15V.
The base of Q6 is zero, because of the
voltage drops across R79 and R80; therefore,
Q6 conducts. Energy, stored in C38, flows
through Q6 as current and capacitor C38
discharges to zero potential. No current flows
through the primary winding of transformer
T2. At the end of the 100 microsecond pulse,
the NPN transistor in the output of comparator
4 ceases to conduct, so the signal on the
base of Q6 is +15V. Q6 ceases to conduct.
C38 starts to charge, driving electrons
(current) through the primary of T2. This
induces a pulse into the secondary of T2 and
to the gate of Triac Q7 (Figure 5-5 on page 5-
6) turning it on.

At the beginning of the next 100 microsecond
pulse, comparator 4 output is again -15V, with
zero volts on the base of Q6. Q6 again
conducts, discharging C38. At the end of the
100 microsecond pulse, Q6 ceases to
conduct. C38 charges and a pulse appears at
the gate of Triac Q7, turning it on again. The
charging time for C38 is about one-half a time
constant (C38, R87) and ten time constants
(R81, C38) are available for discharging C38.
The above action is repeated as long as the
temperature is low, causing an error between
R82, R83 junction and RT1, R84 junction. As
the temperature approaches the desired case
temperature of 135°F (57°C), differences
between these two junctions will exist for only
part of each ramp and the number of pulses
operating Q7 will be proportional to the
amount of error sensed by the 6 Hz ramp.
The pulses arrive at Q7 just as the supply AC
line voltage is passing the zero-volt crossover
point. The purpose of C36 (Figure 5-2 on
page 5-3 and Figure 5-4 below) is to delay the
timing pulse, relative to line frequency, so that
a pulse arrives at the gate of Triac Q7 as the
line potential just passes the zero-volt
crossover point (0° and 180° of line phase).
Varistor, RV1 is a temperature sensitive
resistance device. When case temperature is
low, such as ambient, the value of RV1 is low.
Applying power at that temperature might
cause a current surge to damage Triac Q7.
RV1 with its low initial value of resistance acts
as a bypass and most of the current is
shunted through it.
As the temperature increases and approaches
the desired case temperature, the resistance
of RV1 increases to a large value. This limits
the current through it and gives fine control of
the heater to Triac Q7 and the
temperature-sensing circuit.

5-4 DETECTOR HEATER CONTROL CIRCUIT
Figure 5-5 below is a simplified heater control
circuit drawing for the detector. Heaters 1 and
2 are actually connected in parallel and have
a combined resistance of about 17 ohms.
The thermistor resistance (RT1) in the
resistance bridge varies inversely with
temperature. The bridge is designed to maintain
the temperature of the detector at 150°F
(65.5°C).
The junction point between R55 and R56 is
maintained at a specific voltage since these
resistances maintain a definite ratio. The
thermistor resistance is 149 K at 150°F (65.5°C)
and increases rapidly as the temperature
decreases. R59 in this bridge circuit represents
the setpoint value for temperature. Suppose
that, at temperature, resistance of the bridge
(R55, R56, R59 and RT1) equals 149 K.
If the temperature goes down, RT1 increases in
resistance and causes the junction of RT1 and
R59 to go positive in voltage value. Since R55
and R56 are of equal resistance, their junction is
at zero volts. Therefore, terminal 3 of AR6 is
more positive than terminal 2 and the base of
Q2 is positive. Q2 conducts, allowing alternating
current to flow through heaters 1 and 2. The
voltage drop across the heaters, when
completely cold, would be about 20VAC and,
when controlling, would be AC of very low
amplitude.
As the temperature increases, the resistance
of RT1 decreases and the junction point
between RT1 and R59 becomes less positive.
Terminal 3 of AR6 becomes less positive with
respect to terminal 2. The output of AR
causes Q2 and Q3 to conduct less. When
terminal 3 equals terminal 2, or is less than
terminal 2, the output of AR6 is zero or less.
Q2 and Q3 do not conduct and the heater
would not be supplying heat energy to the
detector.

5-5 DETECTOR LIGHT SOURCE CONTROL
CIRCUIT
Refer to Figure 5-6 below. The detector light
source control circuit maintains the light
output from the bulb (DS1) as uniform as
possible, regardless of voltage fluctuations or
aging of the bulb.
The power source for the light bulb is a
center-tapped secondary of transformer T1.
This AC voltage is rectified by CR7 and CR8
and filtered (C32), presenting an approximate
+8.5V bus to the current-limiting Darlington
configuration of Q4. Q4 controls the basic
amount of current through DS1.
Amplifier AR7 has a fixed value,
approximately +2.2VDC on terminal 3. The
output of AR7 is positive, causing Q4 to
conduct. As Q4 conducts, electrons flow from
the center-tap of T1 to ground and from
ground through DS1 for an input voltage to
terminal 2 of AR7, through R66 to develop a
bias on the base of Q5, through Q4 to the
+8.5V bus, and back to the secondary. As Q5
conducts, some of the current going through
DS1 is shunted from the main current path,
and goes through Q5, which acts as a
variable feedback resistance, goes to the
positive output potential of AR7.
As DS1 ages, its light emission decreases
and its resistance increases. The current
through DS1 tends to decrease, causing a
decrease in the voltage drop across DS1 and
the input potential to terminal 2 of AR7. Now
the output AR7 will increase, causing Q4 to
conduct more current through R66. As the
potential across R66 increases, Q5 will
conduct more current, causing a further
increase in current flow through DS1. The net
result is that the voltage across DS1 will
remain uniform and the operation of Q4 and
Q5 will adjust the gain of AR7 to maintain the
light emission from DS1 uniform for a long
period of time.
Voltage fluctuations in the 115VAC supply
could cause some variation in the amount of
current flowing through the bulb DS1.
However, the voltage drop across DS1 would
cause AR7 to adjust Q4 and the voltage drop
across R66 to adjust Q5. The net result would
still be uniform current flow through DS1 and
uniform light emission.

5-6 DETECTOR WITH FIRST STAGE AMPLIFIER
AND PRESSURE COMPENSATION
CIRCUITS
Refer to Figure 5-7 on page 5-10. The
detector assembly consists of a test body
suspended on a platinum wire and located in
a non-uniform magnetic field.
The test body is constructed of two hollow
glass spheres forming a dumbbell shape.
They are filled and sealed with pure, dry
nitrogen. Around the test body, a titanium wire
is chemically etched in order to form a
feedback loop that can create a counteracting
magnetic force to the test body displacement
caused by oxygen concentration in the test
assembly magnetic field.
Attached to the center arm of the test body
dumbbell is a diamond-shaped mirror.
Attached to the mirror are two separate
platinum wires in tension with the supports for
the test body. The supports are isolated from
ground and are electrically connected to the
feedback loop and the electronics for that
loop. The platinum wires form a fulcrum
around which the test body pivots.
The detector operates in the following fashion.
If the sample gas contains oxygen, it collects
in the non-uniform magnetic field around the
test body. Oxygen, because of its
paramagnetic qualities, gathers along the
magnetic lines of flux and forces the dumbbell
of the test body out of the magnetic field.
A light source is focused on the test body
mirror. As the test body moves out of the
magnetic field, the mirror distributes light
unevenly on two photocells (BT1 and BT2).
The photocells create a potential at
comparator U1. The output of U1 goes to U2.
The output of U2 causes current to flow
through the feedback loop attached to the
dumbbell and mirror into the test assembly
magnetic field until the mirror reflects light
almost uniformly on each photocell. A current
proportional to the oxygen concentration in
the magnetic field of the test assembly has to
be flowing through the feedback loop in order
to maintain balance and provide a reading of
the oxygen content of the sample.
Resistances R5, R17 and the resistance of
the wire in the feedback loop determine the
gain of amplifier AR2. The mirror on the
dumbbell is positioned by the amount of
current in the feedback loop. The mirror
reflects light from the source (DS1) to the
photocells (BT1, BT2). This repositioning of
the mirror is a form of mechanical feedback to
the input of the amplifier U1. The net result is
that the output of U1 could vary from 0 to -70
mV, or 0 to -7.0V, depending on the range of
the instrument
On application of AC power, capacitor C6 has
no charge. The current will have to flow
through R18. Initially the full 30V drop (the
difference between the ±15VDC power) will
appear cross R18. The cathode of CR2 will be
initially at -15VDC. The anode of CR2 will be
some value more positive than -15VDC. CR2
will conduct. The input terminal of U1 will be
negative and the current through the feedback
loop around U2 will cause the dumbbell and
mirror to be positioned correctly in the test
body.
As the charge on C6 increases, the cathode
of CR2 becomes more positive. When it
exceeds that on the anode, CR2 ceases to
conduct and isolates the ±15VDC power
supply from the input circuit.

appropriate voltage to the input of U2 to
counteract any electrical offset resulting from
imbalance in the detector and/or photocells
BT1 and BT2.
The output current that U2 must provide to
restore the dumbbell is a measure of the
displacing force and thus is a function of both
(a) the % oxygen concentration of the sample
and (b) the sample pressure.
The output from U2 is further amplified by U4
to provide a 0 to 10VDC output that
constitutes signal Vx for the pressure
compensation circuit described in Section 56a on page 5-9 .

a. Pressure Compensation Circuit
This circuit provides a pressure-corrected
output signal conditioned in the range of 0
to 10VDC. The circuit solves the
following equation:
Vo = k (Vx/Vz)
where
Vo = the corrected output signal
Vx = the amplified detector-output
signal, which includes a pressure
factor
Vz = the pressure signal derived
from: (a) The pressure sensor and
associated amplifiers, and (b) the
positive reference voltage power
supply
k = the constant that is characteristic
of the circuit
Circuit function is such that, assuming a
constant % oxygen concentration in the
sample stream, the output from the
analog divider U6 (and thus also the
conditioned output from amplifier U8) will
remain constant regardless of pressure
variations within the specified range.
b. Pressure Signal Circuit
Refer to Figure 5-8 on page 5-10. The
pressure signal circuit consists of the
pressure sensor (transducer) and two
associated amplifiers. The sensor
provides a voltage output that is
proportional to pressure. This signal is
ratioed and combined with the negative
voltage reference so as to provide a zerobased signal at the output of the first
amplifier, where it is available for
measurement and display for calibration
and setup purposes.
The second amplifier adds the 10V
reference back ;into the pressure signal.
The output from the second amplifier is
then appropriately attenuated to provide
signal Vz for analog divider U6. Signal Vz
is also made available to the display and
measurement circuit for calibration
purposes.
c. Positive and Negative Reference
Voltage Circuits
These circuits provide precisely controlled
voltages that set overall system
performance and accuracy for the oxygen
measurement system. While the absolute
accuracy is of importance, more important
yet is the ability of these circuits to remain
stable despite temperature variations that
may occur during normal instrument
usage.

5-7 BUFFER AMPLIFIERS U10 AND
ASSOCIATED ANTICIPATION FUNCTION
Refer to Figure 5-9 below. U10 is a noninverting buffer amplifier that incorporates an
anticipation arrangement in its input network,
thus providing slightly faster response on the
readout device(s).
Potentiometer R30 provides a continuously
variable adjustment of 5 to 25 seconds for the
electronic response time (90% of fullscale)
and is factory-set for 20 seconds.

Since the anticipation network attenuates the
signal, a gain of 10 is provided by the
feedback network associated with U10 to
restore the signal to the desired fullscale
range of 0 to 10VDC.
The pressure-corrected output signal from
U10 is routed to two output circuits:

5-8 DIGITAL OUTPUT CIRCUIT
Refer to Figure 5-10 on page 5-14. With front
panel TEST Switch in position 1, the output
signal from buffer amplifier U10 is routed
through an attenuator and filter network to an
integrating analog-to-digital converter. It
converts the signal into an equivalent digital
value in the range of 0.00% to 99.99%. Any
value above 99.99% will be preceded by an
over-range bit, for example, 1.1123.
The output of the ADC consists of
binary-coded decimal characters that are
input to the liquid crystal controller and display
chip characters sequentially in time. The BCD
characters are converted into seven-line
codes to drive the bar segments of the liquid
crystal display.
A separate regulator circuit, which operates
from the +15VDC supply, provides a
regulated 5VDC for the digital functions
associated with the display.
5-9 ANALOG OUTPUT CIRCUITS FOR
RECORDER AND ALARMS
The desired zero suppression is obtained as
the sum of (a) a jumper-selectable fixed value
of 0%, 20%, 40%, or 80% oxygen and (b) a
continuously adjustable value of 0% to 25%
oxygen. Thus the total zero suppression may
be set for any desired valued from 0% to
105% oxygen.
In order to establish the precise zero
suppression required for the recorder output,
the actual applied zero suppression may be
read on the digital display by placing the front
panel TEST Switch in position 4 and the
recorder scale-expansion jumper in the 100%
(i.e., 1X gain) position.
Note that, in this mode the signal input is
disconnected, allowing only the input offset
current for the zero-suppression function to
flow into the amplifier summing node.
Example 1, Selection of a Zero Based
Recorder Oxygen Range:
Desired oxygen range for recorder output:
0% to 100%
Refer to Figure 5-10 on page 5-14. The
analog output circuits utilize two amplifiers:
First Stage Amplifier
This amplifier permits selecting the desired
fullscale oxygen range for the recorder by an
appropriate combination of scale expansion
and zero suppression.
Scale expansion is accomplished by selecting
the appropriate feedback resistor in a switchselectable network, thus establishing one of
six values for amplifier gain:

100%1X

2%50X

REQUIRED
AMPLIFIER GAIN
Required span is 100% oxygen; thus a
gain of 1 is selected with the jumper.
Required zero suppression is 0%; thus,
the Zero Suppression Selection Jumper is
removed, and the Zero Suppression
Potentiometer is set for 0%.
Example 2, Selection of a Zero Suppression
Recorder Oxygen Range:
Desired oxygen range for recorder output:
90% to 100%.
Required span is 10% oxygen; thus, a
gain of 10 is selected with the jumper.
Required zero suppression is 90%
oxygen; thus the Zero Suppression
Selection Jumper is placed in the 80%
position, and the Zero Suppression
Potentiometer is set for 10% oxygen.

This amplifier is an inverting configuration that
provides a signal attenuation of 2X, thus

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
POSSIBLE EXPLOSION HAZARD
If gases are introduced into this analyzer,
the sample containment system must be
carefully leak-checked prior to initial startup, during routine maintenance and any
time the integrity of the sample
containment system is broken, to ensure
the system is in leak-proof condition.
Leak-check instructions are provided in
Section 2.3.8.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

personnel.
CAUTION
PARTS INTEGRITY
Tampering or unauthorized substitution of
components may adversely affect safety of
this product. Use only factory
documented components for repair.
6-1 INITIAL CHECKOUT WITH STANDARD
GASES
If instrument readings do not meet
specifications, the first step in troubleshooting
is to isolate the analyzer from the sample
stream and the sample-handling system.
Admit downscale and upscale standard gases
to the analyzer. Observe readout on digital
display and on recorder (if used).
Digital display reads correctly with
standard gases but not with sample gas,
the sample and sample-handling systems are
suspect. Check these areas.
Digital display reads correctly with
standard gases, but the alarm or output
devices do not, these devices must be
checked individually.
Digital display reads overrange or erratic
with standard gases as well as with
sample gas, the problem is probably in the
detector or the electronic circuitry.
•
Overrange - Turn power to analyzer OFF.
Tap detector compartment with fingers.
Wait 30 seconds, reapply power. If the
suspension within the detector assembly
is hung up, this procedure may correct the
condition. If not, proceed with tests of the
detector and electronics.
The information provided in this section will
aid in isolation of a malfunction to a particular
assembly or circuit. No detailed procedures
for component service and maintenance are
provided, as they are beyond the scope of this
manual. A few detailed checks are included,
but only for location of the defective assembly.
It is recommended that those familiar with
circuit analysis refer to the circuit theory in
Section 5 of this manual.

6-2 DETECTOR COMPONENT CHECKS
a. Detector
Before concluding that the detector is
defective and must be replaced, verify
that all components and circuits that could
cause erratic readings are operating
properly.
To isolate the detector as a source of a
problem, the source lamp, photocells and
suspension should be checked for proper
operation.
b. Source Lamp
To verify that the source lamp in operating
properly:
1. Verify that lamp is lit.
2. Voltage at U7 pin 2 should be 2.2±0.2
VDC.
If lamp is not operating properly, replace
per instructions in Section 6-4 on page 6-
5.
c. Photocell
To verify that photocell is operating
properly, perform the following steps:
If photocell readings not correct, replace
photocell per Section 1-1a on page 6-7.
d. Suspension
If the suspension has been damaged, the
cause may by improper operating
conditions.
Maximum permissible operating pressure
for the detector is 10 psig (69 kPa gauge
pressure). To ensure against overpressurization, a pressure relief valve
may be inserted into the sample inlet line.
In addition, a check valve should be
inserted into the vent line, if connected to
a manifold associated with a flare or other
outlet that is not at atmospheric pressure.
If the detector is over-pressurized, the
suspension could break.
To verify correct operation:
1. Turn electrical power to analyzer
OFF.
2. Remove optical bench assembly (see
Section 6-4 on page 6-5, steps 1
through 4.)
3. With 100% nitrogen flowing through
the analyzer, note the position of the
suspension.
1. Keeping power source ON,
disconnect the leads of the photocell
from connector J12. See Figure 6-1
on page 6-4.
2. Note the current measurement
between the gray and orange wires
(between 300 to 450 mA).
3. Measure between the orange and red
wires. The reading should be
approximately the same as step 2.
6-2 Service and MaintenanceRosemount Analytical Inc. A Division of Emerson Process Management
4. Admit air and note response of
suspension. It should rotate
clockwise (as viewed from the top)
and to the right (as viewed through
the window).
Failure to rotate indicates that the
suspension has been damaged and that
the detector assembly must be replaced.
See Section 6-3a on page 6-3.

Figure 3-2 on page 3-7 and Figure
6-3 on page 6-5. Connect a digital
voltmeter (four digit resolution) from
the slider of Coarse Zero
potentiometer (R9) to chassis ground.
With a steady flow of 50 to 500
cc/min. of nitrogen gas passing
through the instrument, adjust Coarse
Zero (R9) for zero volts.

6-5 HEATING CIRCUITS
a. Case Heater Control Circuit
The case heater control circuit receives
power via thermal fuse F2 (76°C). This
fuse, located on the Case Board, can be
checked for continuity.
Case heater element HR3, located on the
heater/fan assembly, has a normal
resistance of 20 ohms.
To verify heater operation, place a hand
beside the right-hand side of the detector
housing. Heated air should be felt. If it is
not, check the case heating circuit.
Temperature sensor RT1 has a cold
resistance of 22.7K ohms and a normal
operating resistance of 20.2K ohms,
indicating normal operating temperature
of 140°F (60°C). Until thyristor RV1
reaches operating temperature, it
bypasses most of the current that would
otherwise flow through Triac Q7.
As a further check, disconnect connector
plug P8 on the Control Board, thus
disconnecting temperature sensor RT1.
Substitute a decade resistor box to
simulate the resistance of RT1. Also,
connect an AC voltmeter from the hot side
of the line to the neutral side of F2.
Set the decade box for 20.2K ohms to
simulate RT1 resistance at controlling
temperature. The voltmeter should now
show pulses of 1 VAC.
To ensure against damage from overheating
in the event of malfunction, the heating
circuits are protected by thermal fuses F2 and
F3. If temperature of a heated area exceeds
the permissible maximum, the associated fuse
melts, opening the circuit.
NOTE
Thermal fuses F2 and F3 are to be plugged
in, never soldered. If soldered, the fuse
element may melt and open the circuit.
Rosemount Analytical Inc. A Division of Emerson Process Management Service and Maintenance 6-7
Avoid prolonged operation with the
decade box set at 22.2K ohms.
Overheating may result.
OVERHEATING HAZARD
Set the decade box for 22.2K ohms to
simulate RT1 resistance at ambient
temperature. The voltmeter should now
show pulses of 120 VAC.
CAUTION
Instruction Manual
245364-V
May 2002
Model 755A
b. Detector/Magnet Heating Circuit
Heater HR1 is attached to the magnet.
Heater HR2 is attached to the rear of the
detector. Combined resistance of these
two parallel connected heaters, as
measured at pins 15 and 16 of detector
connector J12, should be approximately
17 ohms. If not, remove pin/leads 14 and
15 from the connector to measure the
resistance of HR2 alone. This resistance
should be approximately 89 ohms.
If resistance the resistance of HR2 is
correct, and yet the combined resistance
is incorrect, heater HR1 may be open.
To reach the leads of HR1, remove the
printed circuit board on the heater
assembly. Resistance of HR1 should be
approximately 21 ohms.
To check operation of the heater circuit,
connect a voltmeter across R61 on the
Case Board. Normally, the voltage will be
4 VDC when cold and will drop to
approximately 0.4 VDC at control
temperature. Temperature sensor RT1 is
mounted in the detector, with leads
accessible at pins 10 and 11 of detector
connector J12. The sensor resistance, as
measured at these pins, should be 1M
ohm at 25°C and approximately 149K
ohms at operating temperature of 65°C.

VAISALA BAROMETRIC PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
Instruction Manual
245364-V
May 2002
APPENDIX A
A-1OVERVIEW
This is applicable if your instrument has a
Vaisala Barometric Pressure Transducer
installed in it, or, if you are retrofitting a 755A
with a Vaisala transducer kit.
The Vaisala PTB100 series Analog Barometer
is a N.I.S.T. traceable precision silicon
capacitive atmospheric pressure transducer.
The sensor delivers an analog voltage output
that is inversely proportional to it’s inlet
pressure. It has an operational ambient
pressure range of 800 to 1060 hPa.
The original 755A instrument was designed
for use with a resistance bridge type of
pressure transducer requiring an external
amplifier with a gain factor of 334. The
Vaisala transducer contains an integral gain
amplifier that is scaled for a 0 to +5 Vdc
output. The 755A “Door Board” can
accommodate either transducer type with a
single (R97) resistor change.
A-2CIRCUIT FUNCTION
The 755A “Door Board” pressure transducer
interface is configured as a Precision Voltage
referenced “Whetstone Bridge” circuit. The
Vaisala Interface Circuit board adapts the
single ended analog output of the Vaisala
sensor into a Precision Voltage referenced,
balanced bridge (at 1 atmosphere) input
configuration. A “Bridge Balance” pot on the
Vaisala Interface Circuit board provides the
fine trim “Bridge Balancing” calibration
adjustment that is required to set up each
individual transducer at a known ambient air
pressure. Test points are provided on the
circuit board for this adjustment.
An adjustable, precision regulated voltage
divider consisting of R1, R2, & VR1 on the
Interface Board provide a bridge offset voltage
range of + 0.26 to + 0.79 Vdc.
The Vaisala transducer output range is 0 to
+5 Vdc.
The Vaisala analog output voltage is fed into a
voltage divider formed by R3 and R4 on the
Interface Board. This divider reduces the
Vaisala 0 to +5 Vdc output to 0 to +0.568
Volts, a reduction factor of 8.8 to 1.
These voltage divided bridge offset and
output signals are then applied to the original
Whetstone Bridge input circuit at connector J3
on the Door Board.
A-3INSTALLATION
1. Remove the original transducer, located inside
the detector housing (if present).
2. Install the transducer using the mounting bracket
provided into the lower right hand corner of the
instrument.
3. Install the Interface board using the extended
mounting screw and spacer (provided) to the
top, left corner of the door board.
4. Connect the 4-pin cable (P1) from the interface
board (noting pin polarity) to J3 on the door
board.
5. Solder the Interface board WHITE wire to door
board J4-10 (+15 Vdc), and the BLACK wire to
J4-14 (Gnd).
6. Replace R97 on the door board with a 2 Meg
Ohm, 1/4W, 1% resistor (provided).

A-4ADJUSTMENT
Circuit adjustment can be made using the built
in display together along with a Digital
voltmeter.
1. Select position 2 on the front panel selector
switch. Connect the DVM (+) to TP1, (-) to TP2
on the INTERFACE Board. Adjust for zero volts
as closely as possible using potentiometer VR1
(DMM set to the mVDC range) on this same
board.
2. Move the DVM to (TP) 14 and ground (TP10).
Adjust the AD625 zero offset adjustment for the
lowest zero voltage output. Note! All these
adjustments are made at ambient pressure and
the display on position 2 should now read zero.
The noise should be less than ±1 count.
Model 755A
A-5HIGH ALTITUDE VERSION OPTION
For applications where the instrument is to be
used above 5400 Feet (MSL) an alternate
transducer option is available from the factory.
This version consists of a Vaisala model
PTB100B transducer (900-1100 hPa range),
and an interface board with modified values
for resistors R2 and R4. Contact Rosemount
Customer Service Center if you require this
option.
Procedure is complete.
