Operational Theory 3000ZA
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 8
Operational Theory
2.1 Introduction
The analyzer is composed of three subsystems:
1. Zirconium Oxide (ZrO2) 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 ZrO2 sensor is a device that translates the
amount of oxygen present in the sample into an electrical current. 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 ZrO2 Sensor
2.2.1 Principles of Operation
Teledyne’s zirconium oxide sensor is a miniature solid state sensor.
It uses a stabilized zirconia disc as an electrolyte with a sensing
electrode (the cathode) and a counter electrode (the anode) on each side
of the disc. The zirconia is heated to a temperature of about 500°C via a
built-in heater. By applying a suitable reference voltage (approximately
0.75 volt) across the cathode and anode, the heated zirconia acts as an
electrolyte which is capable of moving oxygen ions within its crystalline
structure. This allows for the reduction of oxygen molecules reaching
the cathode and the generation of a current equivalent to the parts per
million oxygen in the sample gas.
This sensor has been modified to sense low levels of oxygen—less
than 1 ppm and generate a current proportional to the concentration. The
sensor is designed for long term stability and an operating life of 5 years.
Trace Oxygen Analyzer Operational Theory
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 9
2.3 Sample System
The sample system delivers gases to the ZrO2 sensor from the
analyzer rear panel inlet. Depending on the mode of operation either
sample or calibration gas is delivered.
The Model 3000ZA 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 system for the standard instrument incorporates
compression tube fittings for sample inlet and 1/4” outlet tube
connections at the rear panel. The sample or calibration gas that flows
through the system is monitored by a flowmeter downstream from the
cell. Figure 2-1 shows the piping layout for the standard model.
Figure 2-2 shows the flow diagram for sampling systems used for
the three configurations offered as options for this instrument. In the
standard instrument, calibration gases can be connected directly to the
Sample In port by teeing to the port with appropriate valves.
Figure 2-1: Model 3000ZA Sample System
Operational Theory 3000ZA
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 10
Figure 2-2: Flow Diagram with Options
2.4 Zirconium Oxide Sensor Application Notes
The following sample gases require conditioning prior to entering
the sensor:
• Flammable gases such as methane, alcohol and carbon
monoxide may cause a measurement error. They must be
filtered from the sample gas before entering the cell.
• Gases containing halogen atoms (F, Cl, Br, etc.) such as
Freon, must be filtered before entering the cell. The sensor
will be damaged by the decomposition of Freon.
• Gases containing SOx, H2S, silicone vapor and adhesives
must not enter the sensor. These components adversely affect
the performance of the sensor.
• Dust and oil should be filtered from the sample gas.
• Water vapor in contact with the sensor will damage the
sensor. Use a moisture trap or filter to remove any water
vapor in the sample.
2.5 Electronics and Signal Processing
The Model 3000ZA Trace 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 2-3 shows
the location of the power supply and the main electronic PC boards.
Trace Oxygen Analyzer Operational Theory
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 11
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 2-4 is a block
diagram of the analyzer electronics.
In the presence of oxygen the cell generates a current. A current to
voltage amplifier converts this current to a voltage, which is amplified in
the second stage amplifier. The output from the second stage amplifier is
sent to an 18 bit analog to digital converter controlled by the
microprocessor.
The high operating temperature of the ZrO2 sensor is required for
proper operation of the sensor. The amplifier PCB contains a circuit that
drives the heater embedded in the sensor. The voltage across the heater
rises slowly to avoid damaging the heater/sensor assembly. After a few
minutes, the sensor will be at the proper operating temperature.
The digital concentration signal along with input from the control
panel is processed by the microprocessor, and appropriate control
signals are directed to the display, alarms and communications port. The
same digital information is also sent to a 12 bit digital to analog
converter that produces the 4-20 mA dc and the 0-1 VDC analog
concentration signal outputs, and the analog range ID outputs.
Signals from the power supply are also monitored, and through the
microprocessor, the system failure alarm is activated if a malfunction is
detected.

3.3.1 Gas Connections
Before using this instrument, it should be determined if the unit will
be used for pressurized service or vacuum service and low pressure
applications. The kit included with the instrument contains two
restrictors and a union for 1/4” diameter tubing. Notice that there are
two 1-3/4” long, 1/4” diameter restrictors. There is an open end and a
closed end with a small circular orifice. The restrictor without the blue
sticker is for low pressure applications and vacuum service. For high
Trace Oxygen Analyzer Installation
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 17
pressure applications (5-50 psig) use the restrictor that has a blue sticker
on the body.
• Pressurized service: Connect the restrictor with the blue dot
to the Sample In port. The small circular orifice should face
AWAY from the back of the unit (against the direction of gas
flow).
Note: Remove the blue sticker from the restrictor before using.
• Low pressure applications: Connect the restrictor without
the blue sticker in the same manner (less than 5 psig).
• Vacuum Service: For applications involving pressure less
than 5-10 in Hg) connect the restrictor without the blue
sticker to the Exhaust Out port. The small circular orifice
should face TOWARD the back of the unit (against the
direction of gas flow).
CAUTION: OPERATING THE UNIT WITHOUT RESTRICTORS CAN
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SENSOR.
The unit is manufactured with 1/4” tube fittings and includes 6 mm
adapters for metric system installations. For a safe connection:
1. Insert the tube into the 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. using
another wrench, rotate the nut another 1-1/4 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.
The inlet gas pressure should be reasonably regulated. Pressures
between 2 and 50 psig are acceptable as long as the pressure, once
established, will keep the front panel flowmeter reading in an acceptable
range (0.5 to 2.0 SLPM). For non-pressurized sample or very low
pressure, (less than 2 psig) vacuum service plumbing is recommended.
Exact figures will depend on your process.

If greater sample flow is required for improved response time,
install a bypass in the sampling system upstream of the analyzer input.
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.
ZERO IN and SPAN IN (Optional):
These are additional ports for inputting span and zero gas. There are
electrically operated valves inside for automatic switching between
calibration and sample gases. These valves are completely under control
of the 3000ZA electronics. They can be externally controlled only
indirectly through the remote cal inputs as 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, no uninsulated wiring should be able to come
in contact with fingers, tools or clothing during normal operation.
CAUTION: USE SHIELDED CABLES. ALSO, USE PLUGS THAT
PROVIDE EXCELLENT EMI/RFI PROTECTION. THE
PLUG CASE MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE CABLE
SHIELD, AND IT MUST BE TIGHTLY FASTENED TO
THE ANALYZER WITH ITS FASTENING SCREWS.
ULTIMATELY, IT IS THE INSTALLER WHO ENSURES
THAT THE CONNECTIONS PROVIDE ADEQUATE
EMI/RFI SIELDING.
3.3.2.1 Primary Input Power
The power cord receptacle and fuse block are located in the same
assembly. Insert 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 RED
SWITCH ON THE FRONT PANEL IS FOR SWITCHING
POWER ON OR OFF TO THE DISPLAYS AND
OUTPUTS ONLY.
The universal power supply requires a n 85–250 VAC, 47-63 Hz
power source.

Teledyne Analytical Instruments 19
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. 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.)
3.3.2.2 50-PIN EQUIPMENT INTERFACE CONNECTOR
Figure 3-4 shows the pin layout of the Equipment Interface
Connector. The arrangement is shown as seen when the viewer faces the
rear panel of the analyzer. The pin numbers for each input/output function
are given where each function is described in the paragraphs below.

Alarm Relays: The nine alarm-circuit connector pins connect to the
internal alarm relay contacts. Each set of three pins provides one set of
Form C relay contacts. Each relay has both normally open and normally
closed contact connections. The contact connections are shown in Table
3-2. They are capable of switching up to 3 amperes at 250 V ac into a
resistive load. The connectors are:
Threshold Alarm 1:
• Can be configured as high (actuates when concentration
is above threshold), or low (actuates when concentration
is below threshold).
• Can be configured as failsafe or non-failsafe.
• Can be configured as latching or non-latching.
• Can be configured out (defeated).

Digital Remote Cal Inputs: Accept 0 V (off) or 24 VDC (on) inputs for
remote control of calibration. (See Remote Calibration Protocol below.)
See Table 3-3 for pin connections.
Zero: Floating input. 5 to 24 V input across the + and – pins puts the
analyzer into the Zero mode. Either side may be grounded at
the source of the signal. 0 to 1 volt across the terminals allows
Zero mode to terminate when done. A synchronous signal must
open and close the external zero valve appropriately. See
Remote Probe Connector. (The –C option internal valves
operate automatically.)

Span: Floating input. 5 to 24 V input across the + and – pins puts the
analyzer into the Span mode. Either side may be grounded at
the source of the signal. 0 to 1 volt across the terminals allows
Span mode to terminate when done. A synchronous signal
must open and close external span valve appropriately. See
Figure 3-5 Remote Probe Connector. (The –C option internal

40 Cal Contact
41 Cal Contact
Remote Calibration Protocol: To properly time the Digital Remote Cal
Inputs to the Model 3000ZA 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.
Trace Oxygen Analyzer Installation
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 23
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.
Note: The Remote Valve connections (described below) 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 3000ZA 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%). Table 3-4 lists the pin connections.

options to the instrument. Pins 13 (+) and 29 (–).
Remote Valve Connections: The 3000ZA is a single-chassis
instrument, which has no Remote Valve Unit. Instead, the Remote Valve
connections are used as a method for directly controlling external
sample/zero/span gas valves. See Figure 3-5.

Figure 3-5: Remote Probe Connections
The voltage from these outputs is nominally 0 V for the OFF and
15 VDC for the ON conditions. 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 can limit the
obtainable voltage, depending on the load impedance applied. See
Figure 3-6.

3.3.2.3 RS-232 PORT
The digital signal output is a standard, full duplex 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 output data is status information, in digital form, updated every
two seconds. Status is reported in the following order:
• The concentration in ppm or percent
• The range in use (HI, MED, LO)
• The span of the range (0-100 ppm, 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.
Three input functions using RS-232 have been implemented to
date. They are described in Table 3-5.

• Check the integrity and accuracy of the gas connections.
Make sure there are no leaks.
• Check the integrity and accuracy of the electrical
connections. Make sure there are no exposed conductors.
• Check that inlet sample pressure is within the accepted range
(see Section 3.3.1).
• Power up the system, and test it by repeating the Self-
Diagnostic Test as described in Chapter 4, Section 4.3.5.
Operation 3000ZA
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 28
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 3000ZA, these default values are in
effect:
Ranges: LO = 10 ppm, MED = 100 ppm, HI = 250 ppm.
Auto Ranging: ON
Alarm Relays: Defeated, 10.00 ppm, HI, Not failsafe, Not
latching.
Zero: Auto, every 0 days at 0 hours.
Span: Auto, at 000,008.00 ppm, 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.

Teledyne Analytical Instruments 29
4.2 Using the Data Entry and Function Buttons
Data Entry Buttons: The __ arrow buttons select options from the
menu currently being displayed on the VFD screen. The selected option
blinks.
When the selected option includes a modifiable item, the __ arrow
buttons can be used to increment or decrement that modifiable item.
The Enter button is used to accept any new entries on the VFD
screen. The Escape button is used to abort any new entries on the VFD
screen that are not yet accepted by use of the Enter button.
Figure 4-1 shows the hierarchy of functions available to the
operator via the function buttons. The six function buttons on the
analyzer are:
• Analyze. This is the normal operating mode. The analyzer
monitors the oxygen content of the sample, displays the
percent of oxygen, and warns of any alarm conditions.
• System. The system function consists of seven sub functions
that regulate the internal operations of the analyzer:
• Track or hold values during calibration
• Auto-Cal setup
• Password assignment
• Self -test initiation
• Checking software version
• Logging out.
• Show Negative
• Zero. Used to set up a zero calibration.
• Span. Used to set up a span calibration.
• Alarms. Used to set the alarm setpoints and determine
whether each alarm will be active or defeated, HI or LO
acting, latching, and/or failsafe.
• Range. Used to set up three analysis ranges that can be
switched automatically with auto-ranging or used as
individual fixed ranges.
Operation 3000ZA

4.3 The System Function
The sub fuctions of the System function are described below.
Specific procedures for their use follow the descriptions:
• Auto-Cal: Used to define an automatic calibration sequence
and/or start an Auto-Cal.
• PSWD: Security can be established by choosing a 5 digit
password (PSWD) from the standard ASCII character set. (See
Installing or Changing the Password, below, for a table of ASCII
characters available.) Once a unique password is assigned and
activated, the operator MUST enter the UNIQUE password to
gain access to set-up functions which alter the instrument's
operation, such as setting the instrument span or zero setting,
adjusting the alarm setpoints, or defining analysis ranges.
• After a password is assigned, the operator must log out to
activate it. Until then, anyone can continue to operate the
instrument without entering the new password.
• Only one password can be defined. Before a unique
password is assigned, the system assigns TETAI by
default. This allows access to anyone. After a unique
password is assigned, to defeat the security, the password
must be changed back to TETAI.
• Logout: Logging out prevents unauthorized tampering with
analyzer settings.
• More: Select and enter More to get a new screen with
additional sub functions listed.
• Self–Test: The instrument performs a self-diagnostic test to
check the integrity of the power supply, output boards and
amplifiers.
• Version: Displays Manufacturer, Model, and Software
Version of instrument.
• Show Negative: The operator selects whether display can
show negative oxygen readings or not.
• TRAK/HLD: The operator sets whether the instrument
analog outputs track the concentration change during
calibration and sets a time delay for the concentration alarms
after calibration
Operation 3000ZA
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 32
4.3.1 Tracking the Oxygen Readings during
Calibration and Alarm delay
The user has the option of setting the preference as to whether the
analog outputs track the display readings during calibration or not. To
set the preference, press the System key once and the first System menu
will appear in the VFD display:
TRAK/HLD Auto-Cal
PSWD Logout More
TRAK/HLD should be blinking. To enter this system menu press the
Enter key once:
Output Sttng: TRACK
Alarm Dly: 10 min
—or—
Output Sttng: HOLD
Alarm Dly: 10 min
In the first line, TRACK or HOLD should be blinking. The operator
can toggle between TRACK and HOLD with the Up or Down keys. When
TRACK is selected, the analog outputs (0-1 VDC and 4-20 ma) and the
range ID contacts will track the instrument readings during calibration
(either zero or span). TRACK is the factory default.
When HOLD is selected, the analog outputs (0-1 VDC and 4-20 ma)
and the range ID contacts will freeze on their last state before entering
one of the calibration modes. When the instrument returns to the
Analyze mode, either by a successful or an aborted calibration, there
will be a three-minute delay before the analog outputs and the range ID
contacts start tracking again.
The concentration alarms freeze on their last state before entering
calibration regardless of selecting HOLD or TRACK. But, when HOLD is
selected the concentration alarms will remain frozen for the time
displayed in the second line of the TRAK/HLD menu after the analyzer
returns to the Analyze mode.
Trace Oxygen Analyzer Operation
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 33
The factory default is three minutes, but the delay time is
programmable. To adjust to delay time use the Left or Right arrow keys.
When the time displayed on the second line blinks, it can be adjusted by
Pressing the Up or Down keys to increase or decrease its value. The
minimum delay is 1 minute, the maximum is 30.
This preference is stored in non-volatile memory so that it is
recovered if power is removed from the instrument.
4.3.2 Setting up an Auto-Cal
When proper automatic valving is connected (see Chapter 3,
Installation), the Analyzer can cycle itself through a sequence of steps
that automatically calibrates the instrument.
Note: If you require highly accurate Auto-Cal timing, use external
Auto-Cal control where possible. The internal clock in the
Model 3000ZA is acurate to 2-3 %. Accordingly, internally
scheduled calibrations can vary 2-3 % per day.
To setup an Auto–Cal cycle:
Choose System from the Function buttons. The LCD will display
five sub functions.

can now turn these fields ON because there is a nonzero span interval
defined.
4.3.3 Password Protection
If a password is assigned, then setting the following system
parameters can be done only after the password is entered: span and zero
settings, alarm setpoints, analysis range definitions, switching between
autoranging and manual override, setting up an auto-cal, and assigning a
new password. However, the instrument can still be used for analysis or
for initiating a self-test without entering the password.
If you have decided not to employ password security, use the
default password TETAI. This password will be displayed automatically
by the microprocessor. The operator just presses the Enter key to be
allowed total access to the instrument’s features.
Note: If you use password security, it is advisable to keep a copy
of the password in a separate, safe location.
4.3.3.1 ENTERING THE PASSWORD
To install a new password or change a previously installed
password, you must key in and Enter the old password first. If the
default password is in effect, pressing the Enter button will enter the

readings are not shown.
4.4 The Zero and Span Functions
Zeroing is not required in order to achieve the published accuracy
specification of this unit however, zeroing will eliminate offset error
contributed by the sensor, electronics and the internal and external
sampling systems. It will improve performance beyond published
specification limits.
The analyzer is calibrated using zero and span gases.
Any suitable oxygen-free gas can be used for zero gas as long as it
is known to be oxygen free and does not react adversely with the sample
system.
A span gas with a known oxygen concentration in the range of
70–100% of full scale of the range of interest is recommended. In the 010 ppm range, 8 ppm span gas would be best suited.
Connect the calibration gases to the analyzer according to the
instructions given in Section 3.3.1, 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 40 psig or less when turning it
back on.
Readjust the gas pressure into the analyzer until the flowrate (as
read on the analyzer’s SLPM flowmeter) settles between 0.1 and 2.4
SLPM (approximately 0.2 - 5 SCFH).

If you are using password protection, you will need to enter your
password to gain access to either of these functions. Follow the
instructions in sections 4.3.3 to enter your password. Once you have
gained clearance to proceed, you can enter the Zero or Span function.
4.4.1 Zero Cal
The Zero 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
you get a CELL FAILURE message skip to Section 4.4.1.3.
4.4.1.1 AUTO MODE ZEROING
Press Zero to enter the zero function mode. The screen allows you
to select whether the zero calibration is to be performed automatically or
manually. Use the __ arrow keys to toggle between AUTO and MAN zero
settling. Stop when AUTO appears, blinking, on the display.
Zero: Settling: AUTO
<ENT> To Begin
Press Enter to begin zeroing.
#### PPM Zero
Slope=#### ppm/s
The beginning zero level is shown in the upper left corner of the
display. As the zero reading settles, the screen displays and updates
information on Slope (unless the Slope starts within the acceptable zero
range and does not need to settle further).
Then, and whenever Slope is less than 0.08 for at least 3 minutes,
instead of Slope you will see a countdown: 5 Left, 4 Left, and so fourth.
These are five steps in the zeroing process that the system must
complete, AFTER settling, before it can go back to Analyze.
#### PPM Zero
4 Left=### ppm/s

The zeroing process will automatically conclude when the output is
within the acceptable range for a good zero. Then the analyzer
automatically returns to the Analyze mode.
4.4.1.2 MANUAL MODE ZEROING
Press Zero to enter the Zero function. The screen that appears
allows you to select between automatic or manual zero calibration. Use
the __ keys to toggle between AUTO and MAN zero settling. Stop when
MAN appears, blinking, on the display.
Zero: Settling: Man
<ENT> To Begin
Press Enter to begin the zero calibration. After a few seconds the
first of five zeroing screens appears. The number in the upper left hand
corner is the first-stage zero offset. The microprocessor samples the
output at a predetermined rate. It calculates the differences between
successive samplings and displays the rate of change as Slope= a value
in parts per million per second (ppm/s).
#### ppm Zero
Slope=#### ppm/s
Note: It takes several seconds for the true Slope value to display.
Wait about 10 seconds. Then, wait until Slope is
sufficiently close to zero before pressing Enter to finish
zeroing .
Generally, you have a good zero when Slope is less than 0.05
ppm/s for about 30 seconds. When Slope is close enough to zero, press
Enter. In a few seconds, the screen will update.
Once zero settling is completed, the information is stored in the
microprocessor, and the instrument automatically returns to the Analyze
mode.
4.4.1.3 CELL FAILURE
Cell failure in the 3000ZA is usually associated with inability to
zero the instrument down to a satisfactorily low ppm reading. When this
occurs, the instrument will still Zero, but the 3000ZA system alarm
trips, and the LCD displays a failure message.

Before replacing the cell:
a. Check your span gas to make sure it is within specifications.
b. Check for leaks up-stream from the cell, where oxygen may be
leaking into the system.
If there are no leaks and the span gas is within specification,
replace the cell as described in chapter 5, Maintenance.
4.4.2 Span Cal
The Span button on the front panel is used to span calibrate the
analyzer. Span calibration can be performed using the automatic mode,
where an internal algorithm compares consecutive readings from the
sensor to determine when the output matches the span gas concentration.
Span calibration can also be performed in manual mode, where the
operator determines when the span concentration reading is acceptable
and manually exits the function.
4.4.2.1 AUTO MODE SPANNING
Press Span to enter the span function. The screen that appears
allows you to select whether the span calibration is to be performed
automatically or manually. Use the __ arrow keys to toggle between
AUTO and MAN span settling. Stop when AUTO appears, blinking, on the
display.

you have finished typing in the concentration of the span gas you are
using, press Enter to begin the Span calibration.
#### ppm Span
Slope=#### ppm/s
The beginning span value is shown in the upper left corner of the
display. As the span reading settles, the screen displays and updates
information on Slope. Spanning automatically ends when the span
output corresponds, within tolerance, to the value of the span gas
concentration. Then the instrument automatically returns to the analyze
mode.

Operation 3000ZA
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 44
Press Enter to enter the span value into the system and begin the
span calibration.
Once the span has begun, the microprocessor samples the output at
a predetermined rate. It calculates the difference between successive
samplings and displays this difference as a Slope on the screen. It takes
several seconds for the first Slope value to display. Slope indicates the
rate of change of the Span reading. It is a sensitive indicator of stability.
#### % Span
Slope=#### ppm/s
When the Span value displayed on the screen is sufficiently stable,
press Enter. (Generally, when the Span reading changes by 1% or less
of the full scale of the range being calibrated, for a period of ten minutes
it is sufficiently stable.) Once Enter is pressed, the Span reading
changes to the correct value. The instrument then automatically enters
the Analyze function.
4.4.3 Span Failure
The analyzer checks the output of the cell at the end of the span. If
the raw output of the cell is too low, the span will not be accepted. The
analyzer will return to the previous calibration values, trigger the System
Alarm, and display in the VFD:
Span Failed!!
This message will be shown for five seconds and the instrument
shall return to the Analyze mode. In the upper right hand corner of the
VFD display “FCAL” will be shown. This message flag will help the
operator troubleshoot in case calibration was initiated remotely. To
reset the alarm and the flag message, the unit must be turned off by
cycling the standby key . It will not reset if the next span cycle is
correct.
A trace cell is unlikely to fail span. As explained before, when the
sensor reaches the end of its useful life, the zero offset begins to rise
until the analyzer finds the zero unsatisfactory. Nevertheless, feeding
the wrong span gas or electronics failure could set this feature off at the
end of the span. Consider this before replacing the cell.
Trace Oxygen Analyzer Operation
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 45
4.5 The Alarms Function
The Model 3000ZA 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
VAC. See Table 3-2 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 as 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?
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Are either or both of the alarms to be configured as failsafe?
5. 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.
6. Are either of the alarms to be latching?
7. In latching mode, once the alarm or alarms trigger, they will
remain in the alarm mode even if process conditions revert
Operation 3000ZA
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 46
back 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 non-alarm conditions.
8. Are either of the alarms to be defeated?
9. The defeat alarm mode is incorporated into the alarm circuit
so that maintenance can be performed under conditions
which would normally activate the alarms.
10. 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 Alarm function.
Press the Alarm button on the front panel to enter the Alarm
function. Make sure that AL–1 is blinking.
AL—1 AL—2
Choose Alarm
Set up alarm 1 by moving the blinking over to AL–1 using the __
arrow keys. Then press Enter to move to the next screen.
AL—1 10 ppm HI
Dft—N Fs—N Ltch—N
Five parameters can be changed on this screen:
• Value of the alarm setpoint, AL–1 #### ppm (oxygen);
value can be set from 0 to 10,000.00 ppm although the
sensor output is good only to 250 ppm
• Out-of-range direction, HI or LO
• Defeated? Dft–Y/N (Yes/No)
• Failsafe? Fs–Y/N (Yes/No)
• Latching? Ltch–Y/N (Yes/No).
To define the setpoint, use the __ arrow keys to move the blinking
over to AL–1 ####. Then use the __ arrow keys to change the number.
Holding down the key speeds up the incrementing or decrementing.
(Remember, the setpoint units are ppm O2.)
Trace Oxygen Analyzer Operation
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 47
To set the other parameters use the __ arrow keys to move the
blinking over to the desired parameter. Then use the __ arrow keys to
change the parameter.
Once the parameters for alarm 1 have been set, press Alarms again,
and repeat this procedure for alarm 2 (AL–2).
To reset a latched alarm, go to Dft– and then press either _ two
times or _ two times. (Toggle it to Y and then back to N.)
—or—
Go to Ltch– and then press either _ two times or _ two times.
(Toggle it to N and back to Y.)
4.6 The Range Function
The Range function allows the operator to program up to three
concentration ranges to correlate with the DC analog outputs. If no
ranges are defined by the user, the instrument defaults to:
Low = 0–10 ppm
Med = 0–100 ppm
High = 0–250 ppm.
The Model 3000ZA 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 to
below 85% of 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 VDC (20 mA at the current output).
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.
4.6.1 Setting the Analog Output Ranges
To set the ranges, enter the range function mode by pressing the
Range button on the front panel.
Operation 3000ZA
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 48
L—10 M—100
H—250 Mode—AUTO
Use the __ arrow keys to blink the range to be set: low (L), medium
(M), or high (H).
Use the __ arrow keys to enter the upper value of the range (all
ranges begin at 0 ppm). Repeat for each range you want to set. Press
Enter to accept the values and return to Analyze mode. (See note
below.)
Note: The ranges must be increasing from low to high, for
example, if range 1 is set as 0–10 ppm and range 2 is set
as 0–100 ppm, range 3 cannot be set as 0– 50 ppm since
it is lower than range 2.
4.6.2 Fixed Range Analysis
The autoranging mode of the instrument can be overridden, forcing
the analyzer DC outputs to stay in a single predetermined range.
To switch from autoranging to fixed range analysis, enter the range
function by pressing the Range button on the front panel.
Use the __ arrow keys to move the blinking over AUTO.
Use the __ arrow keys to switch from AUTO to FX/LO, FX/MED, or
FX/HI to set the instrument on the desired fixed range (low, medium, or
high).
L—10 M—100
H—250 Mode—FX/LO
—or—
L—10 M—10 0
H—250 Mode—FX/MED
—or—
L—10 M—10 0
H—250 Mode—FX/HI
Press Escape to re-enter the Analyze mode using the fixed range.
Note: When performing analysis on a fixed range, if the oxygen
concentration rises above the upper limit (or default value)
Trace Oxygen Analyzer Operation
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 49
as established by the operator for that particular range, the
output saturates at 1 VDC(or 20 mA). However, the digital
readout and the RS-232 output continue to read the true
value of the oxygen concentration regardless of the analog
output range.
4.7 The Analyze Function
Normally, all of the functions automatically switch back to the
Analyze function when they have completed their assigned operations.
Pressing the Escape button in many cases also switches the analyzer
back to the Analyze function. Alternatively, you can press the Analyze
button at any time to return to analyzing your sample.
4.8 Signal Output
The standard Model 3000ZA Trace Oxygen Analyzer is equipped
with two 0–1 VDC analog output terminals accessible on the back panel
(one concentration and one range ID), and two isolated 4–20 mA DC
current outputs (one concentration and one range ID).
See Rear Panel in Chapter 3, Installation for connection details.
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 0–100 ppm O2, then the output would be:
Table 4-1: Output Signals
Voltage Signal Current Signal
ppm O

Output (VDC) Output (mA DC)
0 0.0 4.0
10 0.1 5.6
20 0.2 7.2
30 0.3 8.8
40 0.4 10.4

Operation 3000ZA
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 50
80 0.8 16.8
90 0.9 18.4
100 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 when using the current outputs) to represent a particular range.
The following table gives the range ID output for each analysis range:
Table 4-2: Range ID Output Voltage
Range Voltage (V) Current (mA)
LO 0.25 8
MED 0.50 12
HI 0.75 16
IMPORTANT: In the event of loss of flow through the analyzer, if the
vent is vented to a location of high oxygen content, oxygen will back
diffuse through the vent line and enter the cell. This can saturate the cell
with oxygen and require a long purge down time before the sensor can
recover. However, the ZrO2 sensor recovers faster than the microfuel
oxygen sensor. In the event that flow is to be interrupted into the
analyzer, it is suggested that the user do one of the following:
1. Bag the sensor in nitrogen during this time
2. Install a shut off valve on the vent port of the analyzer or
somewhere within the users sample system.

A.5 Application Notes
3000 SERIES ANALYZERS
APPLICATION NOTES ON RESTRICTORS,
PRESSURES, AND FLOW RECOMMENDATIONS
The 3000 series analyzers require reasonably regulated sample
pressures. While the 3000 analyzers are not sensitive to variations of
incoming pressure (provided they are properly vented to atmospheric
pressure) the pressure must be maintained to provide a useable flow rate
through the analyzer. Any line attached to sample vent should be 1/4 or
larger in diameter.
FLOW RATE RECOMMENDATIONS:
A usable flow rate for a 3000 series analyzer is one which can be
measured on the flowmeter. This is basically 0.2 - 2.4 SLPM . The
optimum flow rate is 1 SLPM (mid scale). Note that response time is
dependent on flow rate; a low flow rate will result in slow response to
O2 changes in the sample stream. The span flow rate should be the
approximately same as the sample flow rate.
RESTRICTION DEVICES:
For proper operation, all 3000 series analyzers require a flow
restriction device. This device is typically a restrictor or a valve. The
restriction device serves two functions in the sample path.
1. It is used to limit the flow rate of the sample through the
analyzer. A restrictor is chosen to operate over a range of
pressures and provide a useable flow rate over that range.
2. The restriction device provides a pressure drop. This device
is selected to provide the only significant pressure drop in the
sample path.
RESTRICTOR KIT
The current revision of the 3000 series analyzers are supplied with
a kit containing two restrictors and a union which are user installed.
These parts are supplied to give the end user more flexibility when
installing the analyzer. The restrictor kit is suitable for high and low
Trace Oxygen Analyzer Appendix
Teledyne Analytical Instruments
positive pressure applications as well as vacuum service applications
(see manual for installation instructions).
The standard restrictor (BLUE DOT) is recommended for pressures
between 5 and 50 PSIG. For positive low pressure application (5 psig or
less) the unmarked restrictor is better suited . For unpressurized sample
applications the marked restrictor should be used and configured for
vacuum service.
Note: For extremely low positive pressure applications (less then
2 psig) the vacuum service configuration should provide
higher performance (higher flow rates).
For vacuum service, the end user must supply a vacuum pump and
a by-pass valve for the pump. A vacuum level of 5–10 inches of
mercury should provide the optimum flow rate. CAUTION: flow
restrictors have very small orifices and may be plugged by small
particles (.005” dia or larger) A sample filter must be included in the
sample line prior to the restrictor! (A 60 micron filter is recommended).
3000TA EXAMPLES:
Example 1: With a incoming pressure of 10 psig the std restrictor (blue
dot) will provide a flow rate of 0.76 SLPM. Upstream of the restrictor
the sample line pressure will be 10 psig, while down stream (including
the cell) the pressure will be at atmospheric pressure (analyzer vented to
atmospheric pressure). Note, all other pressure drops in the sample path
are insignificant at these flow rates. This insures that the cell operates at
atmospheric pressure. At very high flow rates (off scale of flow-meter),
pressure drops other than the restriction device could become
significant, and result in pressurizing the cell.
Example 2: A 3000TA is configured for vacuum service as follows. The
unmarked restrictor is placed in the sample vent port. The down stream
end of the restrictor is then connected to a vacuum pump and by-pass
valve. The by-pass valve is adjusted to provide a flow rate of 1 SLPM.
The sample pressure between the pump and the restrictor will be
approximately -7 inches of mercury, while the pressure in the balance
of the sample system including the cell will be approximately at
atmospheric pressure (provided the sample flow into the analyzer is not
blocked).
BY-PASS:
Appendix 3000ZA
Teledyne Analytical Instruments
To improve the system response, a by-pass can be added to increase
the sample flow rate to the analyzer by a factor of ten. A by-pass provides
a sample flow path around the analyzer of 2 - 18 SCFH. typically.
CALIBRATION GAS:
3000 series analyzer requirements for units with Auto-Cal options
are as follows:
The customer must supply control valves (or restrictors) for any SPAN
or ZERO gas source which is attached to the Auto-Cal ports. The valve
should be adjusted to the same flow rate as the sample gas. When restrictors
are used, the gas pressure must be adjusted to achieve the proper flow rate.
OPERATION WITHOUT A RESTRICTOR DEVICE:
Operation without a restrictor device is not recommend as
mentioned above. A 3000TA without any flow restrictor device was
tested on 11-19-97. This results in a flow rate of 2.4 SLPM @ 1 PSIG.
This is a cv of 0.023 for the standard sample system.
REFERENCE: FLOW_1.XLS & FLOW_2.XLS for information on
flow rates at various pressures.
