Percent Oxygen Analyzer Operational Theory 2

Operational Theory

2.1 Introduction

The analyzer is composed of three subsystems:

1. Paramagnetic Sensor

2. Sample System

3. 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 Paramagnetic Sensor is an electromechanical device that
translates the amount of oxygen present in the sample into an electrical
signal. The electronic signal processing, display and control subsystem
simplifies operation of the analyzer and accurately processes the sampled
data. The microprocessor controls all signal processing, input/output and
display functions for the analyzer.

2.2 Precise Paramagnetic Sensor

2.2.1 Principles of Operation

The heart of the 3000MA is a paramagnetic type oxygen sensor that is
maintanance free and has a long lifetime. Oxygen has a very high magnetic
sucseptibility compared to other gases and thus displays a particularly para­magnetic behavior. A small glass dumbbell filled with nitrogen and rotating
on a taut platinum wire is suspended in an inhomogneous magnetic field.
This glass dumbbell is diamagnetic and tends to rotate out of the magnetic
field. The strength of the resulting torque determined by an susceptibility of
the sample gas. This torque is compensated for by a counter torque induced
by an electrically charged platinum coil on the dumbbell. The zero position
of the dumbbell is controlled by means of an optical system consisting of a
light source, a mirror at the dumbbell axis and a pair of detectors. The
difference between the compensating currents required to bring the dumb-

Teledyne Analytical Instruments

2 Operational Theory Model 3000MA

bell to the zero position in the presence of zero gas (i.e. no O2 present) or of
sample gas is proportional to the partial pressure of oxygen in the sample
gas.

The sensor enclosure is temperature controlled to 55 degrees centigrade
to insure that the magnetic susceptibility of oxygen in the sample is not
affected by the ambient temperature. The measuring cell has a measuring
volume of approximately 3 cm

Sensor

(side view shown)

The Paramagnetic sensor enclosure holds not only the sensing elements,
but the temperature controller electronics, heating elements, sensor electron­ics, and preamplifier. The Electronics and heating elements require a separate
power source, from the rest of the 3000MA capable of delivering 1.5 amps
approximately at 24 volts dc. The output of the sensor is roughly calibrated
to be 0 to 1 volt DC for the the range of 0 to 100 % 02. The true calibration
of the sensor is carried out by the microprocessor as described later in chap­ter 4. The electrical interconnections to the sensor are done through a 15 pin
D connector. Some signals from the sensor are not connected. They are only
useful for troubleshooting, by trained personnel, as test points.

2. 3 Cross Interference

As mentioned previously, the selectivity of the measuring system is

based on the extraordinarily high magnetic susceptibility of Oxygen com­pared to other gases. In most cases the presence of other gases can be ig­nored but significant errors can occur when the sensor is calibrated with a
mixture of oxygen and nitrogen and the sample gas consists mainly of other
gases with considerable magnetic susceptibility. In this case, the reading
shows a measured value even if the sample gas contains no Oxygen. It is
actually displaying the cross sensitivity to another gas.

The following table shows the cross sensitivity of some gases when

changing from pure nitrogen to 100% of one of the gases listed.

With gas mixtures the components are weighted according to their

proporational volumes.

The cross interference with a gas mixture can be determined in advance if the

concentration of the individual background gases is known.

Example:

Cross sensitivity calculation for a gas mixture:

The gas to be measured consists of 10 % CO2, 40 % of N2, and 50%

of Ar.

C02: -0.27 x 10% = -0.027
Ar: -0.22x5O%= -0.11

2.4 Sample System

The sample system delivers gases to the sensor from the analyzer gas
panel inlets. Depending on the mode of operation either sample or calibration
gas is delivered.

The Model 3000MA sample system is designed and fabricated to ensure
that the oxygen concentration of the gas is not altered as it travels through the
sample system. The sample encounters almost no dead space. This minimizes
residual gas pockets that can interfere with low percent range analysis.

The sample system for the standard instrument incorporates ¼ inch tube
fittings for sample inlet and outlet connections at the rear panel. For metric
system installations, 6 mm adapters are available with each instrument to be
used if needed. The sample or calibration gas flowing through the system is
monitored by a flowmeter downstream from the sensor.

The gases delivered to the instrument should be at constant pressures and
flow rates and must exit freely into the ambient atmosphere. The Span, Zero
and Sample gases should be delivered at constant pressures of about 10 psig
(Range 5-20). The flow rate must be maintained at about 700 cc/minute (Range
500-900) and must exit freely into atmospheric pressure.

2.5 Electronics and Signal Processing

The Model 3000MAPercent Oxygen Analyzer uses an 8031 microcon­troller with 32 kB of RAM and 128 kB of 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 any international power source. Figure 2-6 shows the location of the
power supply and the main electronic PC boards.

Figure 2-5: Location of Electronic Components

The signal processing electronics including the microprocessor, analog
to digital, and digital to analog converters are located on the motherboard at
the bottom of the case. The preamplifier board is mounted on top of the
motherboard as shown in the figure. These boards are accessible after re­moving the back panel. Figure 2-7 is a block diagram of the Analyzer
electronics.

3.3.1 Gas Connections

It is recommended that a gas filter be located upstream of the 3000MA
to prevent sensor or restrictor contamination. A 0.5 micron filter should be
suitable.

Before using this instrument, it should be determined if the unit will be
used for pressurized service or vacuum service and low pressure applica­tions. Inspect the restrictor kit that came with the unit. The kit consist of two
restrictors and a union for 1/4” diameter tubing. Notice that the two 1 3/4”
long, 1/4” diameter tubing are restrictors. It has an open end and a closed
end with a small circular orifice. The restrictor without the blue sticker is for
low pressure and vacuum service. For high pressure (1 to 15 psig) applica­tions, use the restrictor that has a blue sticker on the body.

For pressurized service, use the restrictor with the blue dot and union
from the restrictor kit and attach it to the Sample In port. The small circular
orifice should face away from the back of the unit (against the direction of
gas flow). Use the restrictor without the blue dot sticker in the same manner
for low pressure applications (less than 1 psig).

For vacuum service (5-10 in Hg), use the restrictor without the blue dot
sticker and union but attach it to the Exhaust Out port. The small circular
orifice should face toward the back of the unit (against the direction of gas
flow).

Remove the blue sticker from the restrictor before using.

WARNING: Operating the unit without restrictors can cause damage to

the sensor due to excessive flow rates.

3-3Teledyne Analytical Instruments

3 Installation Model 3000MA

The unit is manufactured with 1/4 inch tube fittings. Six millimeter

adapters are available for metric system installations. For a safe connection:

1. Insert the tube into the tube fitting, and finger-tighten the nut until
the tubing cannot be rotated freely, by hand, in the fitting. (This
may require an additional 1/8 turn beyond finger-tight.)

2. Hold the fitting body steady with a backup wrench, and with
another wrench rotate the nut another 11/4 turns.

SAMPLE IN: In the standard model, gas connections are made at the

SAMPLE IN and EXHAUST OUT connections. Calibration gases must be

Tee'd into the Sample inlet with appropriate valves.

Ensure that the gas pressure is reasonably regulated. Pressures between
5 and 15 psig are acceptable as long as the pressure, once established, will
keep the front panel flowmeter reading in an acceptable range (500-900
SCCM). Exact figures will depend on your process.

If greater flow is required for improved response time, install a bypass
in the sampling system upstream of the analyzer input.

Note: If the unit is for vacuum service, the above numbers apply

instead to the vacuum at the EXHAUST OUT connector, de­scribed below, with minus signs before the pressure readings.

EXHAUST OUT: Exhaust connections must be consistent with the
hazard level of the constituent gases. Check Local, State, and Federal laws,
and ensure that the exhaust stream vents to an appropriately controlled area if
required.

Note: If the unit is for vacuum service, see

pressure/flow considerations.

Sample In

, above, for gas

ZERO IN and SPAN IN (Optional): These are additional input ports
for span gas and zero gas. There are electrically operated valves inside for
automatic switching between sample and calibration gases. These valves are
under control of the 3000MA Electronics. They can be externally controlled
only indirectly through the Remote Cal Inputs, described below.

Pressure, flow, and safety considerations are the same as prescribed for
the SAMPLE IN inlet, above.

3.3.2 Electrical Connections

For safe connections, ensure that no uninsulated wire extends outside of
the connectors they are attached to. Stripped wire ends must insert com­pletely into terminal blocks. No uninsulated wiring should be able to come in
contact with fingers, tools or clothing during normal operation.

Primary Input Power: The power cord receptacle and fuse block are

located in the same assembly. Insert the female plug end of the power cord
into the power cord receptacle.

CAUTION: Power is applied to the instrument's circuitry as

long as the instrument is connected to the power
source. The switch on the front panel is for
switching power on or off to the displays and out­puts only.

The universal power s upply requires a 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz power

source.

Fuse Installation: The fuse block, at the right of the power cord

receptacle, accepts US or European size fuses. A jumper replaces the fuse in
whichever fuse receptacle is not used. The fuses are not installed at the

factory. Be sure to install the proper fuse as part of installation. (See Fuse
Replacement in chapter 5, maintenance.)

Analog Outputs: There are four DC output signal connectors with

spring terminals on the panel. (Two of them are optional, as explained
below.) There are two wires per output with the polarity noted. See Figure 3-

4. The outputs are:
0-1 V dc % Range: Voltage rises linearly with increasing oxygen con-

centration, from 0 V at 0 percent to 1 V at full scale.
(Full scale = 100% of programmable range.)

0-1 V dc Range ID: 0.25 V = Low Range, 0.5 V = Medium Range,

0.75 V = High Range, 1 V = Air Cal Range.

Remote Calibration Protocol: To properly time the Digital Remote

Cal Inputs to the Model 3000MA Analyzer, the customer's controller must
monitor the Cal Relay Contact.

When the contact is OPEN, the analyzer is analyzing, the Remote Cal

Inputs are being polled, and a zero or span command can be sent.

When the contact is CLOSED, the analyzer is already calibrating. It

will ignore your request to calibrate, and it will not remember that request.

Once a zero or span command is sent, and acknowledged (contact
closes), release it. If the command is continued until after the zero or span is
complete, the calibration will repeat and the Cal Relay Contact (CRC) will
close again.

For example:

1) Test the CRC. When the CRC is open, Send a zero command
until the CRC closes (The CRC will quickly close.)

2) When the CRC closes, remove the zero command.

3) When CRC opens again, send a span command until the CRC
closes. (The CRC will quickly close.)

4) When the CRC closes, remove the span command.

When CRC opens again, zero and span are done, and the sample is

being analyzed.

3-7Teledyne Analytical Instruments

3 Installation Model 3000MA

Note: The Remote Probe connector (paragraph 3.3.3) provides

signals to ensure that the zero and span gas valves will be
controlled synchronously. If you have the –C Internal valve
option—which includes additional zero and span gas inputs—
the 3000MA automatically regulates the zero, span and sample
gas flow.

Range ID Relays: Four dedicated Range ID relay contacts. The first

three ranges are assigned to relays in ascending order—Low range is as­signed to Range 1 ID, Medium range is assigned to Range 2 ID, and High
range is assigned to Range 3 ID. The fourth range is reserved for the Air Cal
Range (25%).

Network I/O: A serial digital input/output for local network protocol.

At this printing, this port is not yet functional.

RS-232 Port: The digital signal output is a standard RS-232 serial

communications port used to connect the analyzer to a computer, terminal, or
other digital device. It requires a standard 9-pin D connector.

The data is status information, in digital form, updated every two

seconds. Status is reported in the following order:

• The concentration in percent

• The range in use (HI, MED, LO)

• The span of the range (0-10 %, etc)

• Which alarms—if any—are disabled (AL–x DISABLED)

• Which alarms—if any—are tripped (AL–x ON).

Each status output is followed by a carriage return and line feed.

Four input functions using RS-232 have been implemented to date.

They are described in Table 3-1.

3.3.3 Remote Probe Connector

The 3000MA is a single-chassis instrument, which has no Remote
Probe Unit. Instead, the Remote Probe connector is used as another method
for controlling external sample/zero/span gas valves. See Figure 3-6.

Figure 3-6: Remote Probe Connector Pinouts

Due to power supply limits, the maximum combined current that can be
pulled from these output lines is 100 mA. (If two lines are ON at the same
time, each must be limited to 50 mA, etc.) If more current and/or a different
voltage is required, use a relay, power amplifier, or other matching circuitry
to provide the actual driving current.

In addition, each individual line has a series FET with a nominal ON
resistance of 5 ohms (9 ohms worst case). This could limit the obtainable
voltage, depending on the load impedance applied. See Figure 3-7.

Operation

4.1 Introduction

Once the analyzer has been installed, it can be configured for your

application. To do this you will:

• Set system parameters:

• Establish a security password, if desired, requiring Operator
to log in.

• Establish and start an automatic calibration cycle, if desired.

• Calibrate the instrument.

• Define the three user selectable analysis ranges. Then choose
autoranging or select a fixed range of analysis, as required.

• Set alarm setpoints, and modes of alarm operation (latching,
failsafe, etc).

Before you configure your 3000MA these default values are in effect:

Ranges: LO = 1 %, MED = 5 %, HI = 10 %
Auto Ranging: ON
Alarm Relays: Defeated, 10 %, HI, Not failsafe, Not latching
Zero: Auto, every 0 days at 0 hours
Span: Auto, at 20.9 %, every 0 days at 0 hours

If you choose not to use password protection, the default password is
automatically displayed on the password screen when you start up, and you
simply press

Enter

for access to all functions of the analyzer.

The analyzer is calibrated using span gas.

NOTE: Zero is not necessary for Percent (%) level measurements.

Additional information on Zero functions is provided in the
Appendix A-6 of this manual.

Although the instrument can be spanned using air, a span gas with a
known oxygen concentration in the range of 70–90% of full scale of the
range of interest is recommended.

Connect the calibration gases to the analyzer according to the instruc­tions given in Section 3.4.1, Gas Connections, observing all the prescribed
precautions.

Shut off the gas pressure before connecting it to the analyzer, and
be sure to limit the pressure to 15 psig or less when turning it back on.

Readjust the gas pressure into the analyzer until the flowrate (as read on
the analyzer’s flowmeter) settles between 300-900 CC/MIN.

4.5 The

The Model 3000MA is equipped with 2 fully adjustable concentration
alarms and a system failure alarm. Each alarm has a relay with a set of form
“C" contacts rated for 3 amperes resistive load at 250 V ac. See Figure in
Chapter 3, Installation and/or the Interconnection Diagram included at the
back of this manual for relay terminal connections.

The system failure alarm has a fixed configuration described in chapter
3 Installation.

The concentration alarms can be configured from the front panel as
either high or low alarms by the operator. The alarm modes can be set as

latching or non-latching, and either failsafe or non-failsafe, or, they can be
defeated altogether. The setpoints for the alarms are also established using

this function.

Decide how your alarms should be configured. The choice will depend
upon your process. Consider the following four points:

1. Which if any of the alarms are to be high alarms and which if any
are to be low alarms?

Setting an alarm as HIGH triggers the alarm when the oxygen
concentration rises above the setpoint. Setting an alarm as LOW
triggers the alarm when the oxygen concentration falls below the
setpoint.

Alarms

Function

4-12

Decide whether you want the alarms to be set as:

• Both high (high and high-high) alarms, or

• One high and one low alarm, or

• Both low (low and low-low) alarms.

2. Are either or both of the alarms to be configured as failsafe?

Teledyne Analytical Instruments

Percent Oxygen Analyzer Operation 4

In failsafe mode, the alarm relay de-energizes in an alarm
condition. For non-failsafe operation, the relay is energized in an
alarm condition. You can set either or both of the concentration
alarms to operate in failsafe or non-failsafe mode.

3. Are either of the alarms to be latching?
In latching mode, once the alarm or alarms trigger, they will

remain in the alarm mode even if process conditions revert to
non-alarm conditions. This mode requires an alarm to be
recognized before it can be reset. In the non-latching mode, the
alarm status will terminate when process conditions revert to non­alarm conditions.

4. Are either of the alarms to be defeated?
The defeat alarm mode is incorporated into the alarm circuit so

that maintenance can be performed under conditions which
would normally activate the alarms.

The defeat function can also be used to reset a latched alarm.
(See procedures, below.)

If you are using password protection, you will need to enter your

password to access the alarm functions. Follow the instructions in section

4.3.3 to enter your password. Once you have clearance to proceed, enter the

The Range function allows the operator to program up to three concen­tration ranges to correlate with the DC analog outputs. If no custom ranges
are defined by the user, the instrument defaults to:

The Model 3000MA is set at the factory to default to autoranging. In
this mode, the microprocessor automatically responds to concentration
changes by switching ranges for optimum readout sensitivity. If the current
range limits are exceeded, the instrument will automatically shift to the next
higher range. If the concentration falls slightly below full scale of the next
lower range, the instrument will switch to that range. A corresponding shift
in the DC percent-of-range output, and in the range ID outputs, will be
noticed.

The autoranging feature can be overridden so that analog output stays
on a fixed range regardless of the oxygen concentration detected. If the
concentration exceeds the upper limit of the range, the DC output will
saturate at 1 V dc.

Range

Low = 0–1.00 %
Med = 0–5.00 %
High = 0–10.00 %.

However, the digital readout and the RS-232 output of the concentra­tion are unaffected by the fixed range. They continue to read accurately with
full precision. See Front Panel description in Chapter 1.

4.6.2 Autoranging Analysis

Set your analysis ranges as in 4.6.1, above. Leave Mode in Auto, or use

the arrow buttons to change back to Auto.

When operating in autoranging, if the oxygen concentration in your
sample goes ABOVE your HIGHEST range setting, the analyzer will go
into the special 25 % cal range.

However, if one of your range settings is below 0-25 % and another is
set above 0-25 %, the special 0-25 % Air Cal range will NOT activate as the
oxygen level goes through 25 %. Nevertheless, if the oxygen concentration
in your sample goes ABOVE your HIGHEST range setting, the analyzer
will THEN drop back down into the special 25 % cal range.

Once the oxygen concentration drops back down into your highest
range setting, the analyzer will automatically switch back to that range.

CAUTION: While the analyzer is in the Air Cal range, the oxygen

reading cannot go over 25 %, even if the oxygen
concentration is higher than 25 %.

4.8 Signal Output

The standard Model 3000MA Percent Oxygen Analyzer is equipped
with two 0–1 V dc analog output terminals accessible on the back panel (one
concentration and one range ID). The –MA option also has two isolated 4–
20 mA dc current outputs (one concentration and one range ID).

4-16

See Rear Panel in Chapter 3, Installation, for illustration.

Teledyne Analytical Instruments

Percent Oxygen Analyzer Operation 4

The signal output for concentration is linear over the currently selected
analysis range. For example, if the analyzer is set on range that was defined
as 0–10 % O2, then the output would be:

Voltage Signal Current Signal

% O

Output (V dc) Output (mAdc)

0 0.0 4.0
1 0.1 5.6
2 0.2 7.2
3 0.3 8.8

7 0.7 15.2
8 0.8 16.8
9 0.9 18.4

10 1.0 20.0

The analog output signal has a voltage which depends on the oxygen
concentration AND the currently activated analysis range. To relate the
signal output to the actual concentration, it is necessary to know what range
the instrument is currently on, especially when the analyzer is in the
autoranging mode.

To provide an indication of the range, a second pair of analog output
terminals are used. They generate a steady preset voltage (or current if you
have current outputs) to represent a particular range. The following table
gives the range ID output for each analysis range:

Range Voltage (V) Current (mA)

5.5 Cleaning

If instrument is unmounted at time of cleaning, disconnect the instrument from the
power source. Close and latch the front-panel access door. Clean outside surfaces with a
soft cloth dampened slightly with plain clean water. Do not use any harsh solvents such
as paint thinner or benzene.

For panel-mounted instruments, clean the front panel as prescribed in the above
paragraph. DO NOT wipe front panel while the instrument is controlling your process.

5.6 Troubleshooting

Problem:

Erratic readings of the Oxygen concentration as reported by the analyzer.

Possible Cause:

The gas flow is too high.

Solution:

Reduce the gas pressure to the analyzer.

Possible Cause:

The analyzer may have been calibrated in an inaccurate fashion.

Solution:

Turn the analyzer off, then back on again. Press the System key when prompted by the
analyzer "Press System for default Values". This will return the analyzer to its default
settings in calibration and zero values. If erratic behavior continues replace the sensor.

Possible Cause:

Atmospheric Oxygen may be diffusing in through the vent and affecting the oxygen
level which the sensor sees.

Solution:

Increase flow rate and/or length or vent tubing in order to dilute of minimize the diffusion
of oxygen from the vent back to the sensor.

Problem:

Inaccurate zero operation (i.e. the user has zeroed the analyzer accidentally on gas much
higher than one would normally use for a zero gas).

Solution:

Turn the analyzer off, then back on again. Press the System key when prompted by the
analyzer "Press System for default Values". This will return the analyzer to its default
settings in calibration and zero values. Now proceed to carefully calibrate and zero the
analyzer.

button on the front panel is used to enter the zero calibration

function. Zero calibration can be performed in either the automatic or manual
mode. In the automatic mode, an internal algorithm compares consecutive
readings from the sensor to determine when the output is within the accept­able range for zero. In the manual mode, the operator determines when the
reading is within the acceptable range for zero. Make sure the zero gas is
connected to the instrument. If zeroing is becoming more and more dificult,
skip to section 4.4.1.3 Cell Failure.
