Trace Oxygen Analyzer Operational Theory

Operational Theory

2.1 Introduction

The analyzer is composed of three subsystems:

1. The zirconium oxide (ZrO

) sensor with a 0-25%

analysis range

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 ZrO

sensor is a device that translates the

amount of oxygen present in the sample into a voltage output. 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

The zirconium oxide (ZrO2) sensor is a solid state sensor. It is a voltage device with a logarithmic response. The sensor 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 and contains a thermocouple. The sensor is designed to have a small sample of the unknown gas passed inside the sensor tube. Air (20.95% oxygen) surrounds the outside of the tube. A heater is mounted around the sensor to keep the sensor hot. The sensor construction is shown in Figure 2.1.

CAUTION: THE SENSOR IS HOT. DO NOT TOUCH THE SENSOR

OR ALLOW FLAMMABLE MATERIAL TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE ASSEMBLY.

Operational Theory 3000ZA2G





THE SENSOR ASSEMBLY REMAINS HOT EVEN IN STANDBY MODE. REMOVE POWER FROM THE INSTRUMENT AND ALLOW SENSOR TO COOL FOR TWO HOURS BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE ON THE SENSOR.

The heater control is a time proportioning temperature controller that maintains the thermocouple junction at the sensor operating temperature of 575°C (1070°F).

When exposed to different oxygen partial pressures at the outside and inside of the sensor, an EMF (E) is developed which obeys the Nernst equation:

Where T is the temperature (K) at the zirconia disc, R is the gas constant, F is the Faraday constant and (PO2) Inside and (PO2) Outside are the oxygen partial pressures at the inner and outer electrodes, respectively, with the higher oxygen partial pressure electrode being positive.

When dry air at atmospheric pressure, (21% oxygen) is used as a reference gas at the inner electrode, the following equations are obtained:

The analyzer solves this equation, which is valid above the minimum operating temperature.

The oxygen sensor assembly provides a means of exposing the zirconia sensor to the atmosphere to be measured on the inside of the sensor while maintaining air as a reference gas at atmospheric pressure on the outside of the sensor.

Teledyne Analytical Instruments 8

Trace Oxygen Analyzer Operational Theory

The sensor offset voltage changes with sample flowrate as shown in Figure 2-1. Assuming that the environment remains constant and within the specifications of the sensor, the difference in offset voltage between a flowing reference gas at 200 ml/min and at 0 ml/min is nearly constant over the operating range of sample flowrates (100-300 ml/min). This offset is removed during calibration assuming that the sample flowrate used in calibration is the same as the process flow. Hence the analyzer can be used without a flowing reference gas during operation with only a marginal degradation in performance. For best performance, a flowing reference should be used.

Figure 2-1: Sensor Offset Voltage

The sensor assembly also provides the means of maintaining the sensor operating temperature by surrounding the sensor tube with a heater element, and measuring the temperature of the zirconia disc with a thermocouple inside the sensor. (See Figure 2.2).

The logarithmic output of the sensor depends therefore on the partial pressure of the oxygen in the sample gas.

The non-linear output is linearized by the system software and a linear output signal is generated and used by the DAC circuit to produce the requisite output signals.

Teledyne Analytical Instruments 9

Operational Theory 3000ZA2G

Figure 2-2: Zirconia Sensor Assembly

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 3000ZA2G 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 1/8” tube fittings for sample inlet and outlet at the rear panel. The sample or calibration gas that flows through the system is monitored by a flowmeter downstream from the cell.

Figure 2-3 shows the flow diagram. Shaded portions of the diagram pertain to instruments with other options as listed. In the standard instrument, calibration gases can be connected directly to the Sample In port by teeing to the port with appropriate valves.

2.4 Zirconium Oxide Sensor Application Notes

The following sample gases require conditioning prior to entering

the sensors:

 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, H

S, 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 3000ZA2G 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 (110/230 VAC) is user selectable from an internal switch. It is set at the factory for your specific requirement. Figure 2-4 shows the location of the power supply and the main electronic PC boards.

The signal processing electronics including the microprocessor, analog to digital (ADC), and digital to analog (DAC) 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.

Teledyne Analytical Instruments 11

Operational Theory 3000ZA2G

These boards are accessible after removing the enclosure cover. Figure 2-5 is a block diagram of the analyzer electronics.

In the presence of oxygen the zirconia sensor generates a logarithmic response in the mV range and is passed to an amplifier. The output from the amplifier is sent to an 18 bit analog to digital converter controlled by the microprocessor.

The high operating temperature of the ZrO

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 digital information representing the output from the sensor is linearized by the Model 3000ZA2G software and passed to a 12 bit digital to analog converter that produces the 4-20 mADC 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

All gas and exhaust connections are made to the labeled 1/4” tube fittings (6 mm adapters for metric system installations are available) on the rear panel. The rear panel connections are different between the standard unit and one which includes the auto calibration option. For safe connections:

Insert the tube into the fitting and finger-tighten the nut until

1. the tubing cannot be rotated freely by hand in the fitting. This may require an additional 1/8 turn beyond finger tight.

Hold the fitting body steady with a backup wrench. Using

2. another wrench, rotate the nut another 1-1/4 turns.

SAMPLE IN:

In the standard model, gas connections are made at the

EXHAUST OUT connections. Calibration gases must tee into the sample

SAMPLE IN and

inlet with appropriate valves (not supplied).

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 the acceptable range.

Use the sample flow control valve on the front panel to adjust the flow rate to within the acceptable range of 0.1-0.3 SLPM.

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

SAMPLE VENT:

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.

REF IN/OUT:

Flowing air reference. Air must be clean, dry, and free of hydrocarbons. Use the reference flow control valve on the front panel to adjust the flow rate to within the acceptable range of 0.1-0.2 SLPM.

Note: It is possible to use the instrument without a flowing

reference however doing so will result in a marginal reduction in performance and is not recommended for best performance.

Teledyne Analytical Instruments 17

Installation 3000ZA2G

ZERO IN and SPAN IN (Auto Calibration Option):

With the auto calibration option there are additional ports for span and zero gas connections. The auto calibration module uses electrically operated valves for automatic switching between calibration and sample gases. These valves are completely under control of the 3000ZA2G electronics. They can also be externally controlled 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 Calibration Gas

The Model 3000ZA2G will require periodic calibration on known gases for maintaining the specified accuracy. Both zero and span calibrations are required. Air (20.9% O

) must be used for the zero gas.

For span gas requirements, see Section 4.4. These gases must be supplied to the instrument at the same pressure and flow as the sample gas.

3.3.3 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.

3.3.3.1 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 SWITCH ON THE REAR PANEL IS IN THE ON POSITION. THE RED SWITCH ON THE FRONT PANEL IS FOR SWITCHING POWER ON OR OFF TO THE DISPLAYS AND OUTPUTS ONLY.

Teledyne Analytical Instruments 18

Trace Oxygen Analyzer Installation

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.)

3.3.3.2 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.

Figure 3-4: Equipment Interface Connector Pin Arrangement

Analog Outputs: There are four DC output signal pins—two pins per

output. For polarity, see Table 3-1. The outputs are:

 0–1 VDC % of Range: Voltage rises linearly with

increasing oxygen, from 0 V at 0 ppm to 1 V at full scale ppm. (Full scale = 100% of programmable range.)

 0–1 VDC Range ID: 0.20 V = Low Range, 0.5 V =

Medium Range, 0.80 V = High Range.

 4–20 mA DC % Range: Current increases linearly with

increasing oxygen, from 4 mA at 0 ppm to 20 mA at full scale ppm. (Full scale = 100% of programmable range)

 4–20 mA DC Range ID: 7.2 mA = Low Range

12 mA = Medium Range

16.8 mA = High Range

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 VAC into a resistive load. The possible alarm configurations are as follows:

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).

Threshold Alarm 2:

 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 mode. Either side may be grounded at

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 valves operate automatically.)

40 Cal Contact

41 Cal Contact

Remote Calibration Protocol: To properly time the Digital Remote Cal

Inputs to the Model 3000ZA2G 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:

Test the CRC. When the CRC is open, send a zero command

1. until the CRC closes (The CRC will quickly close.)

When the CRC closes, remove the zero command.

Teledyne Analytical Instruments 22

Trace Oxygen Analyzer Installation

3. When CRC opens again, send a span command until the

CRC closes. (The CRC will quickly close.)

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 3000ZA2G automatically regulates the zero, span and sample gas flow.

Range ID Relays: There are 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. Table 3-4 lists the pin connections.

Network I/O: Pins 13 (+) and 29 (–) are for serial digital input/output

for local network protocol. At this printing, this port is not yet functional. It is to be used for future options to the instrument.

Remote Valve Connections: The 3000ZA2G 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.

Teledyne Analytical Instruments 23

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.

3.3.3.3 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.

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 the

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

auto ranging or select a fixed range of analysis, as required.

 Set alarm setpoints, and modes of alarm operation (latching,

failsafe, etc).

Before you configure your 3000ZA2G, these default values are in

effect:

Ranges: LO = 10 ppm, MED = 1000 ppm, HI = 250,000

ppm. Auto Ranging: ON

Alarm Relays: Defeated, 1000 ppm, HI, Not failsafe, Not

latching.

Zero: Auto, every 0 days at 0 hours.

Span: Auto, at 000008.00 ppm, every 0 days at 0 hours.

Password: TAI

If you choose not to use password protection, the default password is automatically displayed on the password screen when you start up and you have access to all functions of the analyzer.

4.3 The System Function

The sub functions 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.

Note: This function will have no effect if the auto calibration

option is not present.

 PSWD: Security can be established by choosing a 5 digit

password (PSWD) from the standard ASCII character set. (See Installing or Changing a 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 allows access to anyone. After a unique password is assigned, to defeat the security, the password must be changed back to

TAI.

 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

4.3.1 Tracking 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

Enter key once:

the

Output Sttng: TRACK Alarm Dly: 10 min

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 ▲/▼ 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

Teledyne Analytical Instruments 31

Operation 3000ZA2G

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.

The factory default is three minutes, but the delay time is programmable. To adjust to delay time use the

◄► arrow keys. When the time

displayed on the second line blinks, it can be adjusted by pressing the ▲/▼ 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 zero and span the instrument.

Note: If you require highly ac curate Auto-Cal timing, use external

Auto-Cal control where possible. The internal clock in the Model 3000ZA2G is accurate 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

parameters can be done only after the password is entered:

 Span and zero settings

 Alarm setpoints

 Analysis range definitions

 Switching between auto ranging and manual override

 Setting up an auto-cal

 Assigning a new password

However, the instrument can still be used for analysis or for

initiating a self- test without entering the password.

4.4 The Zero and Span Functions

Note: A zero calibration is required for the zirconia sensor

installed in this instrument. Air must be used for the zero gas. The Zero calibration will eliminate offset error contributed by sensor, electronics, and internal and external sampling system and maintain performance at the published specification for this instrument.

The analyzer is calibrated using air for zero calibration and a known concentration of oxygen in a suitable background gas for span calibration.

The software in the Model 3000ZA2G assumes that air is used as the zero gas and automatically sets the zero point of the instrument based on the 20.9% oxygen concentration in air. Do not substitute another gas for zero gas.

A known oxygen concentration in the range of 70–90% of full scale of the range of interest is recommended for use as a span gas. The span gas used must have a concentration greater than 7.0 ppm oxygen. When 70-90% of full scale is close to air concentration (e.g. 0-25% range), 0.1-

1.0% O

span gas is recommended.

Connect the calibration gases 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 40 psig or less when turning it back on.

Adjust the needle valve on the front panel of the analyzer until the flow rate (as read on the analyzer’s flowmeter) is 0.1-0.3 SLPM.

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 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 forth.

These are five steps in the zeroing process that the system must complete, AFTER settling, before it can go back to

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.

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 Slope on the screen. It takes several seconds for the first Slope value to display. Slope indicates 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 sensor at the end of the span. The output signal decreases approximately 50 mV per decade increase in the oxygen concentration. The software analyzes the change in output and will trigger a span failure message if it is found differ significantly from the 50 mV/decade value. When this occurs, the span will not be accepted. The analyzer will return to the previous calibration values and trigger the System Alarm, and display in the VFD:

Span Failed!!

This message will be shown for five seconds and the instrument

will 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 reset if the next span cycle is correct.

A typical cause for span failure is by feeding the wrong span gas during calibration or entering the wrong value. It can also be triggered by an electronics failure.

4.5 The Alarms Function

The Model 3000ZA2G 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

Teledyne Analytical Instruments 45

Operation 3000ZA2G

VAC. See Figure in Chapter 3, Installation and/or the Interconnection Diagram included at the back of this manual for relay 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:

Which if any of the alarms are to be high alarms and which if

1. 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.

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.

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

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.

Are either of the alarms to be latching?

3. In latching mode, once the alarm or alarms trigger, they will remain in the alarm mode even if process conditions revert 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.

Are either of the alarms to be defeated?

4. The defeat alarm mode is incorporated into the alarm circuit

Teledyne Analytical Instruments 46

Trace Oxygen Analyzer Operation

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 Alarm function.

Press the Alarm button on the front panel to enter the Alarm function. Make sure that

AL–1 is blinking.

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 = 0–1,000 ppm

High = 0–250,000 ppm

The Model 3000ZA2G is set at the factory to default to auto ranging. 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 auto ranging 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 for 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.

The automatic air calibration range is always 0-25 % and is not programmable.

Teledyne Analytical Instruments 48

Trace Oxygen Analyzer Operation

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.

L—10 M—1000 H—250000 Mode—AUTO

Use the ◄►arrow keys to blink the range to be set: low (

medium (

M), or high (H).

L),

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 0–100 ppm and range 2 is set as 0–1,000 ppm, range 3 cannot be set as 0– 500 ppm since it is lower than range 2.

Ranges, alarms, and spans are always set in ppm units (over the entire 0-250,000 ppm range), even though all concentration-data outputs change from ppm units to percent when the concentration is above 10,000 ppm.

4.6.2 Fixed Range Analysis

The auto ranging mode of the instrument can be overridden, forcing the analyzer DC outputs to stay in a single predetermined range.

To switch from auto ranging 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

Use the ▲/▼ arrow keys to switch from

AUTO to FX/LO, FX/MED,

L—10 M—1000 H—250000 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) 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 back to the

Escape button in many cases also switches the analyzer

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 3000ZA2G 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 illustration.

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 O

Teledyne Analytical Instruments 50

, then the output would be:

Output (VDC)

Current Signal

Output (mA dc)

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 auto ranging mode.

To provide an indication of the range, a second pair of analog output terminals is 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:
