Oxygen Alarm Monitor Introduction 1

Introduction

The Teledyne Analytical Instruments (TAI) Model 335 Oxygen
Alarm accurately measures the oxygen content of the atmosphere sur­rounding its sensor. The standard measurement range is 0-25% oxygen.
The alarm feature of the instrument incorporates two adjustable setpoints
to allow alarm warning under either of two independent oxygen level
conditions. The standard alarm indication is produced by both an audible
annunciator and a visual light, and when an alarm condition exists, a relay
is energized to switch a set of relay contacts. Both normally open and
normally closed circuits are provided by the Form “C” relay contacts;
consult the Interconnection Diagram at the rear of the manual to find the
interconnection terminals where the circuits can be accessed.

DANGER:

The instrument is designed as a safety monitor. However, it is the
responsibility of the user to establish whether or not the total system or
instrument, environment, alarm components and any other relevant devices
will actually assure safety in his/her particular circumstances.

The “Safety Checklist” outlined in the “Pre-Operation” section of this
manual should be treated as a guide only; it is up to the user to establish
practical safety precautions. Also, it is vital that operator’s understand and
test the operation of the complete system.

Consult the circuit-related drawings at the rear of the manual to find
information about circuit paths (schematic) and connecting points (wiring
and interconnection diagrams), as well as physical characteristics and
dimensions (outline diagram). These drawings reflect the exact design and
construction of your instrument.

Remove power from the system before opening the
instrument or attempting to perform any maintenance.

TELEDYNE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS

Oxygen Alarm Monitor Operational Theory 2

Operational Theory

2.1 Method of Analysis

The analysis is specific for oxygen, i.e., the measuring cell will not
generate an output current unless oxygen is present in the sample gas.
Thus, the instrument has an absolute zero and no zero gas is required to
operate the analyzer.

The measuring cell has the ability to respond accurately to the pres­ence of oxygen irrespective of flowrate. TAI recommends using ambient
air as a span gas or, if that is not possible, using a known calibration gas of
about 80% of the range of interest value.

The measuring cell (U.S. Patent #3,429,796) is a solid-state mainten­ance-free structure that carries a TAI guarantee for performance and usable
life. The cell consumes oxygen from the gas surrounding it and generates
a proportional microampere current. The low level signal is then amplified
by a solid-state operational amplifier. The resulting DC signal is suitable
for driving a high impedance recording device, a temperature compen­sation circuit for the cell and an integral 0-100µA meter. The output signal
is linear over the specified ranges of analysis.

2.2 Micro-Fuel Cell Sensor

2.2.1 Principles of Operation

The oxygen sensor used in the Model 335 is a Micro-Fuel Cell (MFC)
designed and manufactured by TAI. It is a sealed plastic disposable elec­trochemical transducer.

The active components of the MFC are a cathode, an anode and the
15% aqueous Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) electrolyte in which they are
immersed. The cell converts the energy from a chemical reaction into an
electrical potential that can produce a current in an external electrical
circuit. Its action is similar to that of a battery.

TELEDYNE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS

2-1

2 Operational Theory Model 335

There is, however, an important difference in the operation of a
battery as compared to the MFC: in the battery, all reactants are stored
within the cell, whereas in the MFC, one of the reactants (oxygen) comes
from outside the device as a constituent of the sample gas being analyzed.
The MFC is therefore a hybrid between a battery and a true fuel cell. (All
of the reactants are stored externally in a true fuel cell.)

2.2.2 Anatomy of a Micro-Fuel Cell

The MFC is a cylinder only 1¼" in diameter and 1¼" thick. It is
made of extremely inert plastic (which can be placed confidently in practi­cally any environment or sample stream) and is effectively sealed, though
one end is permeable to oxygen in the sample gas. At the permeable end a
screen retains a diffusion membrane through which the oxygen passes into
the cell. At the other end of the cell is a contact plate consisting of two
concentric foil rings. The rings mate with spring-loaded contacts in the
sensor block assembly and provide the electrical connection to the rest of
the analyzer. Figure 2-1 illustrates the external features.

mfc-xsec.wmf

Figure 2-2. Cross Section of a Micro-Fuel Cell

2-2

TELEDYNE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS

Oxygen Alarm Monitor Operational Theory 2

At the top end of the cell, under the retaining screen, is a diffusion
membrane of Teflon whose thickness is very accurately controlled. (See
Figure 2-2.) Beneath the diffusion membrane lies the oxygen sensing
element (cathode) with a surface area almost 2.5cm2. The cathode has
many perforations to ensure sufficient wetting of the upper surface with
electrolyte, and it is plated with an inert metal.

The anode structure is below the cathode. It is made of lead and has a
proprietary design used to maximize the amount of metal available for
chemical reaction.

At the rear of the cell, just below the anode structure, is a flexible
membrane designed to accommodate the internal volume changes that
occur throughout the life of the cell. This flexibility preserves the integrity
of the structural elements surrounding the cathode and prevents the associ­ated changes in electrical activity that would result.

The entire space between the diffusion membrane, above the cathode,
and the flexible rear membrane, beneath the anode, is filled with electro­lyte. Cathode and anode are submerged in this common pool. They each
have a conductor connecting them to one of the external contact rings on
the contact plate on the bottom of the cell.

2.2.3 Electrochemical Reactions

The sample gas diffuses through the Teflon membrane. Any oxygen
in the sample gas is reduced on the surface of the cathode by the following
HALF REACTION:

O2 + 2H2O + 4e– → 4OH

–

(cathode)

(Four electrons combine with one oxygen molecule in the presence of
water from the electrolyte to produce four hydroxyl ions.)

When the oxygen is reduced at the cathode, lead is simultaneously
oxidized at the anode by the following HALF REACTION:

2(Pb + 2OH–) → 2(Pb+2 + H2O) + 4e

–

(anode)

(Two electrons are transferred for each atom of lead that is oxidized.
TWO ANODE REACTIONS balance one cathode reaction to transfer four
electrons.)

The electrons released at the surface of the anode flow to the cathode
surface when an external electrical path is provided. The current is propor­tional to the amount of oxygen reaching the cathode. It is measured and
used to determine the oxygen concentration in the gas mixture.

TELEDYNE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS

2-3

2 Operational Theory Model 335

The overall reaction for the fuel cell is the SUM of the half reactions

above, or:

2Pb + O2 → 2PbO

(These reactions will hold as long as no gaseous components capable
of oxidizing lead are present in the sample. The only likely components
are the halogens: iodine, bromine, chlorine and fluorine.)

The output of the fuel cell is limited by (1) the amount of oxygen in
the cell at the time and (2) the amount of stored anode material.

In the absence of oxygen, no current is generated.

2.2.4 The Effect of Pressure

In order to state the amount of oxygen present in the sample as a
portion (parts-per-million {ppm} or percent {%}) of the gas mixture, it is
necessary that the sample diffuse into the cell under constant pressure.

If the pressure changes, the rate that oxygen reaches the cathode
through the diffusing membrane will also increase. The electron transfer,
and therefore the external current, will increase, even though the propor­tion of oxygen has not changed.

From Dalton's Law, the partial pressure of each gas in a mixture is the
same pressure that it would exert if it were alone given the same amount
and confined to the same volume. This means that as long as the total
pressure of the sample remains constant, the mixture can change, but the
diffusion of the oxygen will be affected only by the concentration of the
oxygen.

For this reason, the sample system supplying sample gas to the cell is
designed to keep the pressure on the diffusion membrane constant.

2.2.5 Calibration Characteristics

Given that the total pressure of the sample gas at the surface of the
MFC input is constant, a convenient characteristic of the cell is that the
current produced in an external circuit of constant impedance is directly
proportional to the rate at which oxygen molecules reach the cathode, and
this rate is directly proportional to the concentration of oxygen in the
gaseous mixture. In other words it has a linear characteristic curve, as
shown in Figure 2-3 (using arbitrary units). Measuring circuits do not have
to compensate for nonlinearities.

2-4

TELEDYNE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS

Oxygen Alarm Monitor Operational Theory 2

mfccurve.wmf

Figure 2-3. Characteristic Input/Output Curve for a Micro-Fuel Cell

In addition, since there is zero output in the absence oxygen, the
characteristic curve has an absolute zero. The cell itself does not need to
be zeroed. In practical application, however, zeroing is still used to com­pensate for a number of other variables in the instrument and in the envi­ronment of the instrument.

2.3 Circuit Description

Follow this description on the Circuit Schematic in the Drawings
section at the rear of this document.

The measuring cell produces a current signal that is acted upon by the
thermistor, resistor and span potentiometer network to produce a tempera­ture compensated voltage signal. The voltage signal (about 100mV 20%)
is applied to the CW terminal of the span pot (P1). A portion (about half)
of the voltage, as determined by the position of the span pot slider, is
applied to amplifier A1. Offset zero adjustment is provided at this point by
zero potentiometer P2. Capacitors C1 (RFI filter) and C2 (noise filter)
improve the signal quality to ensure clean amplification by A1. Adjust­ment of the span pot can now cause the signal voltage, amplified twenty­fold by A1, to equal 1V full scale at the amplifier’s output.

The amplified 1V signal is fed to the meter, and a full scale meter
response with 1V applied is accomplished by adjustment of potentiometer
P6. Comparator sections A2a and A2b, biased by setpoint potentiometers
P5 and P4, respectively, provide direct activation of the alarm relays and

TELEDYNE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS

2-5

2 Operational Theory Model 335

LED’s; they also enable the oscillator of the audible (beeper) alarm. The
alarm relays themselves are ultra-sensitive and require only a few
milliamps driving current. Jumpers A through H and J through R allow the
alarms to be connected in either LOW or HIGH configuration. The refer­ence voltage for the alarm comparators is taken from the reference com­parator circuit (which also monitors the battery and AC line voltage lev­els.)

Comparator sections A2c and A2d compare the battery voltage and a
voltage corresponding to the AC line voltage with a 1V reference level
produced by A1b from D7 and P3. To represent the line voltage, the
secondary of the power transformer and a voltage divider are used. If
either the battery voltage or the AC line voltage drop below relative preset
levels, the appropriate LED will light. Low voltage LED signals must be
acknowledged and the problem corrected as soon as possible; eventually,
the battery voltage will weaken to the point that the LED’s cease to warn
of the problem.

The 1V reference is also applied to the two alarm setpoint networks
consisting of P4/P19 (CAUTION SET) and R20/P5/R21 (DANGER SET),
which supply the reference voltages for the two alarm comparators. The
positions of the sliders of setpoint potentiometers P4 and P5 determine the
reference levels of the two comparators, and consequently provide the
setpoints of the two alarms.

2.4 Alarms

When the alarm setpoints are properly adjusted, they provide an
operational band that covers all acceptable oxygen concentrations. If the
oxygen level at the sensor crosses the adjusted setpoint of one of the
alarms, that alarm will cause the switching of relay contacts. Normally
open (N.O.) and normally closed (N.C.) circuit connections at the intercon­nection terminal strip will be reversed. Thus, a circuit that is open (turned
off) in a non-alarm condition will be closed (turned on) when its alarm is
activated, and vice-versa.

As per OSHA specifications, the standard factory setting of the two
alarms provides a “CAUTION” alarm at 20% oxygen (at the sensor) and a
“DANGER” alarm at 19.5% oxygen. To cover special cases, a limited
amount of adjustment is possible.

TELEDYNE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS

Oxygen Alarm Monitor Installation and Operation 3

Installation and Operation

Installation consists of installing the Micro-Fuel Cell, installing the

rechargeable batteries and connecting the instrument to the AC power.

3.1 Installing the Micro-Fuel Cell

The Micro-Fuel Cell is shipped separately from the instrument and must
be installed before operating the instrument. Turn the instrument off and
disconnect the AC power.

To install the cell in the probe assembly:

1. Remove the probe from its holder inside the instrument case and
remove the cell from its sealed shipping package.

2. Unscrew the cap from the top of the probe assembly.

3. Remove the shorting clip from the cell. REMOVE THE
MEMBRANE END OF THE SHORTING CLIP FIRST so that
it does not puncture the soft membrane.

4. Place the cell in the probe with the terminal end facing down
toward the probe contacts and the soft membrane surface facing
the outside.

5. Replace the probe cap, making sure that it is all the way down
and seated on the probe body, then replace the probe assembly
into its holder.

3.2 Power and Signal Connections

NOTE: Batteries are shipped disconnected.

Refer to manual for connection before operation.

This instrument is designed to operate from a 115VAC @ 50/60 Hz
power. As an option, if specified at the time of purchase, this instrument can
be powered from 100 or 220VAC @ 50/60 Hz. Connect the included
power cord to the AC power.

3.2.1 AC and Battery Backed Standby Power

TELEDYNE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS

3-1

3 Installation and Operation Model 335

The Model 335 uses battery backed standby power during periods of
power failure or "brown out" conditions. Power outages will not interfere
with a properly-working Model 335 oxygen alarm if it is installed and used
correctly. The standby power source uses rechargeable NiCad (Nickel
Cadmium) batteries. If the AC power is temporarily impaired (“brown-out”)
or interrupted, the stand-by power supply takes over and keeps the analyzer
in operation.

Periodically test the condition of the battery pack by pressing the
“BATTERY TEST” pushbutton on the instrument’s control panel and note
the battery condition in the area so designated on the meter scale. Release
the pushbutton to return to the normal sampling mode. The battery test
provides only an indication of the battery state under the test conditions; it is
possible that a battery might test well but perform for only a short time under
actual operational conditions (a characteristic of the battery, not the ana­lyzer), so it is very important that power outages be corrected without delay.
Furthermore, TAI recommends that the instrument be tested periodically by
operating it for several hours without AC power (that is, under battery
power).

The standard Model 335 is designed to operate on standby battery
power for at least six hours if conditions are favorable, i.e., conditions are not
extreme and the batteries are well charged and in good condition). Under
actual conditions, however, these factors will always tend to evolve toward
the worst case if left unattended. Therefore, the user must always ensure that
battery condition, charge and other related factors are monitored with suffi­cient frequency to prevent problems. Most importantly, DO NOT DEPEND
UPON THE LONGEVITY OF BATTERY BACKUP, but correct prob­lems as soon as possible.

3.2.2 Installing the Rechargeable NiCad Batteries

Connect the batteries as follows:

1. Remove the tape from the red wire and the white green wire.

2. Connect the red wire to TS2-5; connect the white green wire to
TS2-6.

3.2.3 Signal Connections

Alarm relay and optional output signals are available to the user from a
terminal block inside the enclosure. See the Interconnection Diagram in­cluded with the drawings at the back of this manual.

3-2

TELEDYNE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS

Oxygen Alarm Monitor Installation and Operation 3

The CAUTION and DANGER alarms are equipped with separate
relays. Each of these relays provides a single set of contacts rated for 2A
resistive load @ 28VDC or 2A @ 120VAC.

A 0-1VDC signal output is available as an option that must be specified
at the time of purchase. If you have chosen this option, the Oxygen Monitor
will generate a 0-1VDC signal as output to represent the 0-25% oxygen
range. This output signal is linear and proportional to the oxygen concentra­tion within the 0-25% range. The output signal is available to the user from
a terminal block inside the enclosure. (See the Interconnection Diagram
included with the drawings at the rear of this document.)

3.3 Calibration

Prior to operating this instrument for the first time, the Oxygen Monitor
must be calibrated. If this instrument is to be used as a safety monitor,
routine calibration should be carried out on a weekly basis.

NOTE:

Calibration of a standard instrument is performed by exposing the
sensor to ordinary ambient air (not the monitored atmosphere) and adjusting
the “CALIBRATE” control until the meter pointer rests at the CAL mark on
its scale. This mark represents the normal oxygen concentration of air
(20.9%) under standard conditions, so be sure that the sensor is exposed to
fresh air when using the calibration mark.

If it is not feasible to use ordinary air as the calibration gas, then clean,
compressed instrument air can be used. It will probably be necessary to seal
the sensor in the piped-in calibration gas to isolate it from the surrounding
atmosphere. A flow-through adaptor can be purchased from TAI as an
accessory for those applications. Although a special calibration gas can be
used, the calibration results will be meaningless unless the oxygen concentra­tion of the calibration gas is known, and the analyzer is adjusted to indicate
that concentration. To eliminate any error caused by the calibration gas,
always use a certified composition with an oxygen concentration between
80% and 90% of the full scale meter reading of the analyzer.

Calibration in the same atmosphere that is being monitored can
result in serious error. The analysis performed and the alarms, if
any, generated by this instrument when calibrated using the moni­tored atmosphere or a span gas of unknown composition, will be
meaningless.

Once the instrument has been installed, calibrated, and the power turned
on, it will continuously monitor the oxygen level within the environment it is

placed. The oxygen level is displayed on the analog meter. The response
time of the instrument will depend on the actual Micro-Fuel Cell (MFC)
installed. With the class B-3 MFC installed, the response time is less than 15
seconds at 25°C. The table below indicates the response time for some
MFCs typically used in the Model 335.

Class Response Warranty Application

Time (Sec) (Months)

B-3 13 12 Intermediate response/long life
B-5 13 18 Long life/general O2 monitoring
C-3 30 12 General purpose/long life

3.5 Cell Warranty

The Class B-3 cell used in the Model 335 is warranted for 12 months of
service. Under normal operating conditions the Class B-3 cell should last 12
months in air. For special applications, optional cells are available.

NOTE:

Customers having warranty claims must return the cell in question to
the factory evaluation after obtaining an RMA number. If it is determined
that failure is due to faulty workmanship or materials, the cell will be re­placed free of charge. If a cell was working satisfactorily, but fails short of
its warranty period, the customer will receive credit, on a prorated basis,
toward the purchase of a new cell.

Evidence of mishandling will render the cell warranty null and
void.

3.6 Safety Checklist

The following checklist is offered only as a guide to assist the user in
verifying a number of important factors; it is by no means a complete list of
safety-related items. The procedures and precautions relating to the use of
the instrument in the user’s process must be developed by the user. It is vital
that the operator understand and test the operation of the total system.

Verify that:

1. Instrument power is active and adequate.

3-4

TELEDYNE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS

2. Instrument functions are operational.

3. Alarm indicators are effective and produce intended results.

4. Unauthorized personnel are prevented from tampering with the
instrument or auxiliary equipment.

5. Routine test and calibration procedures are instituted and
followed.

6. Any and all sampling and/or location problems are identified and
handled.

7. Any and all necessary warning labels, notices, and information
are provided.

8. Operators understand the operations and functions of the analyzer
and system.

9. Any environmental or other influences that could affect the
operation or accuracy of the instrument are identified and
handled.

3.7 Accessory Flow-Through Adapter

A flow-through adaptor is available for the Series 335 Oxygen Ana­lyzer for those applications that require piped-in gases. The adaptor consists
of a sealed chamber where the instrument’s probe is inserted, with two
radially-oriented hose connectors to which supply and vent lines for the
calibration gas are connected. The design provides gas flow over the sens­ing surface of the cell without contamination by the surrounding monitored
atmosphere.
