Teledyne Analytical Instruments Series 4060, Trace Aromatic
Hydrocarbon Analyzer, is a versatile instrument designed to measure the
quantity of aromatic hydrocarbons, primarily benzene, present in a
positive pressure sample gas. The analyzer is a microprocessor
controlled digital instrument based on Teledyne’s highly successful
Model 402R series analog Total Hydrocarbon Analyzer, coupled with a
gas separation column and a switching valve. The basic analyzer allows
for the measurement of benzene in the low ppb range. The Analyzer
also allows the diagnostic capability to look for other aromatics, like
toluene, ethyl benzene and xylenes. Other versions of Series 4060
allowing for dual measurements are also available. Contact the factory
for further detail.
1.1 Main Features of the Analyzer
The Analyzer is sophisticated yet simple to use. A dual display on
the front panel prompts and informs the operator during all phases of
operation. The main features of the analyzer include:
Easy-to-use front panel interface that includes a red 5-digit
LED display and a vacuum fluorescent display (VFD), driven
by microprocessor electronics.
High resolution, accurate readings of concentration.
Versatile analysis with three user-definable analysis ranges.
Microprocessor based electronics: 8-bit CMOS
microprocessor with 32 kB RAM and 128 kB ROM.
Auto ranging allows analyzer to automatically select the
proper preset range for a given measurement. Manual
override allows the user to lock onto a specific range of
interest.
Two adjustable concentration alarms and a system failure
alarm.
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 15
Introduction Series 4060
Extensive self-diagnostic testing at startup and on demand
with continuous power supply monitoring.
RS-232 serial digital port for use with a computer or other
digital communication device.
Analog outputs for concentration and range identification (0-
1 VDC standard and isolated 4-20 mA dc).
Superior Accuracy
1.2 Principle of Operation
The analyzer uses a gas separation column to separate the
component of interest, like benzene, from the other hydrocarbons in the
sample gas. Using a carrier gas and a microprocessor actuated switching
valve, the eluted gas is analyzed in Flame Ionization Detector (FID) and
the column is back flushed to accept the fresh sample in the next cycle.
More information is provided in Section 2.1 Introduction, under Operational Theory. The electrical output of the electrometer-amplifier
is directly proportional to the concentrations of the ionizable
hydrocarbons present over the ranges of interest.
1.3 Analyzer Description
The standard analyzer is a rack mountable instrument designed to fit
into a standard 19” instrument rack. The front interface panel is mounted
on a door which, when opened, allows convenient access to the
Analyzer electronics. The entire front panel can slide out of the chassis
to provide greater access to the electronics and to the sample system.
Gas pressure and flow controls are mounted on the front panel adjacent
to the LED and VFD displays and user interface.
At the rear of the instrument are ports for the introduction of air,
fuel, zero, span, and sample gas. A single 50-pin user-interface cable
connector contains input/output and alarm signals available to the user.
An RS-232 port is also available at the rear panel for connection to a
remote computer or other digital communication device. The Analyzer is
set up for either 120 VAC 60 Hz or 230 50/60 Hz operation depending
on the customer’s requirements. The appropriate power cord for your
unit has been shipped with this instrument.

Series 4060 Operational Theory
Operational Theory
2.1 Introduction
Series 4060 Analyzer for Benzene uses a FID detector and a Gas
Chromatograph (GC) Column. Using a carrier gas and a microprocessor
actuated switching valve, a fixed volume of sample is pushed into the
Column maintained at a constant temperature. The eluted gas is
analyzed for benzene in a FID detector and the column is back flushed
to accept the fresh sample in the next cycle. Actual separating and
detecting sequence may vary depending on compounds of interest in the
application for which the analyzer is configured.
The Series 4060 Analyzer uses a flame ionization detector to sense
benzene. The FID was selected based on the positive performance and
extensive experience in the use of this detector in other Teledyne
analyzers namely Model 402R and Model 4020. The FID has proven
itself to be a rugged, stable, long life sensor giving years of trouble free
operation in various applications. Also considering the fact that the
required sensitivity of 100 ppb full scale was achieved, FID was
considered a better choice over the limited life and less reliable Photo
Ionization Detector.
A stainless steel packed column containing Chromosorb Diatomite
was used at a constant temperature of 70 C. Using nitrogen as a carrier
gas and a 5 ml sample loop, benzene elutes from the column within a
few minutes. Additionally, a clear separation is observed from other
aromatic hydrocarbons, namely toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylenes. The
actual temperature setpoint and compound separation for your
instrument may be different depending on the application. It is listed in
the Addendum and Testing Results section of Appendix B.
2.2 Modes of Operation
The analyzer has 2 modes of operation depending on the position of
the GC Sampling Valve (See Piping Diagram in Figure 2-2). They are:
Sample Mode (position A) and Analysis Mode (position B).
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 19
Operational Theory Series 4060
1. Valve Position A—Sampling Mode
In this mode the analyzer configures the operational valve to
back flush the column and charge the sample loop. The Sample
Mode is programmed to continue for a 7 minute period by
factory default; however, it is usually modified to match the
needs of a particular process. The specific timing interval for
your system is listed in the Addendum and Testing Results
section of Appendix B. It is possible to set the Sample Mode
duration up to 25 minutes.
2. Valve Position B—Analysis Mode
In this mode the analyzer configures the sampling valve to feed
the gas in the sample loop through the column and to the
detector. The eluted sample from the column is fed to the FID
for the analysis of the compound of interest in the hydrocarbon
stream. If configured to do so, the analyzer may read the detector
for a programmed 5 second period at some point within this
mode cycle to obtain a baseline reading for further calculation.
This mode is usually programmed to continue until the
compound of interest is fully eluted from the column. It is
possible to set it up to 25 minutes.
During the Analysis Mode, a ‘Peak Detect’ period is programmed at
which time the analyzer reads the detector output. The analyzer
integrates the peak area during this time in conjunction with the baseline
settings to calculate the concentration of the compound of interest. The
calculation is performed at the end of the ‘Peak Detector’ period and the
result is displayed at the end of Analysis Mode.
2.3 Analyzer Subsystems
The Model Analyzer is composed of three subsystems:
1. Sample System
2. Detector Cell
3. Electronic Signal Processing, Display and Control
2.3.1 Sample System
All components used to control the sample and supporting gases, as
well as the combustion portion of the detector cell, are located inside the
20 Teledyne Analytical Instruments
Series 4060 Operational Theory
analyzer chassis. They are accessible by opening the front door of the
analyzer.
Adjustments are made using the appropriate control on the front
panel.
The analyzer contains three separate isothermal chambers
‘SAMPLE’, ‘FID’, and ‘COLUMN’ that are controlled by individual
PID temperature controllers. These controllers with integral readout
display are visible just behind the front panel as shown in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1: Internal Temperature Controllers
The sample chamber contains the 10-port GC switching valve and 2
sample loops. The ‘FID’ chamber contains the flame, pressure
regulators, pressure gauges and flow restrictors used by the FID
detector. The ‘COLUMN’ is housed in a separate ‘COLUMN’ enclosure
and maintained at a temperature of 70° C by its PID temperature
controller. The actual temperature setpoint for your instrument may be
different depending on the application. It is listed in the Addendum and Testing Results section of Appendix B.
2.3.2 Gas Flow Control System
The analyzer is equipped with ports for the introduction of air, fuel,
carrier gas, span, and sample gas. It is imperative that these gases are
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 21
Operational Theory Series 4060
supplied at constant pressures using two stage stainless steel diaphragm
gas regulators. The recommended pressure range is 30 to 80 psig,
however, the span gas should be supplied at a pressure of 20 psig to the
restrictor fitting either on the optional autocal module or the span inlet
on the rear panel.
The Piping Diagram for the standard instrument is shown in Figure
2-2. A 10-port 2-position GC sampling valve is used to control and
direct gas flows including sampling, back flush, and carrier gas. The
fixed volume sample loop ensures the same volume of sample injection
in the column every cycle.
If your instrument is fitted with the optional auto calibration module,
a separate compartment containing of a pair of solenoid valves is
installed for controlling the introduction of sample or span gas to the
detector. Calibration can be performed automatically on a programmed
schedule or manually using the front panel interface.
2.3.3 Fuel and Blanket Air Systems
Stable flow is achieved by maintaining a constant pressure across
restrictors upstream from the cell. Each system incorporates an adjustable
pressure regulator, pressure gauge, and restrictor. A flame out light is
included to indicate when the flame fails. A fuel shut-off solenoid valve,
mounted on the line that supplies fuel, stops the fuel flow in case of flame
failure. This valve is located in line with the fuel port.
2.3.4 Flame Ionization Detection Cell
The carrier gas containing sample and fuel are combined within a tee
fitting located in the isothermal chamber. The mixed gas is emitted from
a burner within the sensor assembly. Blanket air is introduced into the
sensor (or cell) by means of a separate fitting that is located in the base
section of the assembly. The upper half of the assembly houses the
anode-igniter, collector, and flame guard thermistor.
22 Teledyne Analytical Instruments
Series 4060 Operational Theory
Figure 2-2: Typical Piping Diagram for the Model 4060
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 23
Operational Theory Series 4060
2.4 Detection Cell
The upper section of the stainless steel flame ionization cell houses
the cylindrical collector electrode, the high voltage (+260 VDC) anodeigniter coil, and the sensing thermistor of the flame guard circuit (see
cell cross-section in Figure 2-3).
WARNING: DANGEROUS HIGH VOLTAGE EXISTS AT THE
ANODE IGNITER COIL (+260 VDC). DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO DISCONNECT THE IGNITER COIL
CABLE OR DISASSEMBLE ANY OF THE FLAME
IONIZATION CELL COMPONENTS WITHOUT
TURNING OFF THE POWER AND DISCONNECTING
THE POWER CORD.
The collector is interconnected with the electrometer-amplifier PC
board by a coaxial cable. Although the cable and fittings are intended for
coaxial service, the cable is actually being used as a shielded singleconductor connection.
The anode-igniter, as its name implies, serves two functions. When
relay K2 at PCB part number B74671 is energized, the coil becomes an
electrical heating element that glows red-hot and ignites the hydrogen
fuel. When relay K2 at B74671 is de-energized, the coil is connected to
the +260 volt DC terminal of the anode-flame guard power supply PC
board. In this configuration, the necessary potential difference is
established between the coil (anode) and collector to promote ionization
of the burned hydrocarbons. The coil functions as the high voltage anode
in all three-range positions of the selector switch.
The thermistor acts as the sensor in the flame guard circuit. Its
ambient temperature resistance is in the 100 K ohms region. When the
flame is ignited, its resistance is reduced by a factor of 100. The
thermistor is coupled to a semiconductor control circuit on the anodeflame guard power supply PC board, which will be described in a
following section.
The cell electrodes of both the anode-igniter and flame guard
thermistor are connected to the electronics chassis by means of a plug-in
cable.
The electrode section of the cell may be removed for inspection by
turning off the power, disconnecting the electrode lead plug, and
removing the screws, which retain the electrode assembly in the sensor
body.
24 Teledyne Analytical Instruments
Series 4060 Operational Theory
2.4.1 Electrometer-Amplifier
The collector cable is coupled directly to a coaxial fitting located on
the electrometer-amplifier PC board. The PC board is located on the side
panel next to but outside of the isothermal chamber. It consists of an
electrometer amplifier and an operational amplifier. This circuit is a very
high-gain, current-to-voltage converter circuit, having an input
impedance measuring in the billions of ohms. It is static sensitive and
highly susceptible to contamination. Special care must be taken in
handling this PC board.
Refer to Section 5.5.3: Electrometer-Amplifier PC Board for more
information concerning the electrometer-amplifier and the other printed
circuits that follow.
Figure 2-3: Flame Ionization Cell
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 25
Operational Theory Series 4060
2.4.2 Anode Power Supply
The high voltage anode power supply components are mounted on
the anode power supply printed circuit board. High voltage regulation is
achieved through the use of series-connected zener diodes. The
simplicity of this circuit’s design can be attributed to the extremely low
current demand of the anode circuit. The positive output voltage is
nominally 125 volts. Output tolerance is ±10 volts from the specified
125 volts.
2.4.3 Flame Guard Circuit
A thermistor-controlled, transistorized switching circuit is employed
to operate a relay in the event of a flame-out condition. A panel indicator
light and fuel shut-off solenoid valve are operated by the relay to alarm
personnel that a flame-out condition has occurred. The fuel shut-off
solenoid valve stops the hydrogen flow.
2.4.4 Flame Ignition Circuit
The flame ignition circuit includes the anode-igniter electrode (in the
detector cell), a transformer, and processor controlled relay. The circuit
is automatically energized when the FID cools due to lack of flame.
If automatic ignition fails five times, there will be a message that
reports this, and the flame can be manually ignited by pressing
simultaneously the Up and Down key.

Series 4060 Installation
Installation
Installation of the Series 4060 Analyzer includes:
1. Unpacking
2. Mounting
3. Gas connections
4. Electrical connections
5. Testing the system.
3.1 Unpacking the Analyzer
Although the analyzer is shipped with all the materials you need to
install and prepare the system for operation. Carefully unpack the
Analyzer and inspect it for damage. Immediately report any damage or
shortages to the shipping agent.
3.2 Mounting the Analyzer
The Series 4060 is a general-purpose analyzer and as such is
designed with (non-sealed) enclosures. It must be installed in an area
where the ambient temperature is not permitted to drop below 32ºF nor
rise above 100ºF. In areas outside these temperatures, auxiliary
heating/cooling must be supplied. The 4060 enclosure is oil and dust
resistant and although it is designed to resist moisture, it should NOT be
considered completely watertight. Mounting to walls or racks must be
made securely. Avoid locations that are subject to extreme vibration and
sway.
Sufficient space must be provided around the analyzer to
accommodate the necessary electrical conduit and plumbing connections.
The front panel must be allowed to be pulled out for possible service
access to all components of the enclosure. Refer to the system/analyzer
outline drawings for dimensions.
Note: To completely slide the analyzer out of the enclosure, pull
Analyzer out until it stops, then push down on the release
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 27
Installation Series 4060
levers found almost at the end of the sliders, both sides at
the same time.
Regardless of configuration, the analyzer/system must be installed
on a level surface with sufficient space allocated on either side for
personnel and test equipment access. Subject to the foregoing, the
Analyzer/system should be placed as close to the sample point as is
possible.
All pertinent dimensions, connecting points, and piping details can
be found in the drawings section as part of the outline, input-output, and
piping diagrams. These drawings are specific to the instrument or
system to which the manual applies.
3.3 User Connections
All user connections are made on the rear panel. Consult the inputoutput and outline diagrams in the drawing section of the manual. Not
all the features displayed may be present in your system. Refer to any
Addenda for additional information that may apply to your instrument.
3.3.1 Electrical Power Connections
The standard analyzer requires a supply of 100-125VAC, singlephase power. Power connections are made at the rear panel of the unit.
Refer to the input-output diagram for more information. The electrical
power service must include a high-quality ground wire. A high-quality
ground wire is a wire that has zero potential difference when measured
to the power line neutral. If you have the 220 VAC option, you will
require 220 or 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz power. Check the analyzer inputoutput diagram, power schematic, outline, and wiring diagrams for
incoming power specifications and connecting points.
CAUTION: PRIMARY POWER TO THE SYSTEM SHOULD NOT
BE SUPPLIED UNTIL ALL CUSTOMERS WIRING IS
INSPECTED PROPERLY BY START-UP PERSONNEL.
3.3.2 Electronic Connections
Figure 3-1 shows the Series 4060 rear panel. There are connections

3.3.2.2FUSE 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.
3.3.2.350-PIN EQUIPMENT INTERFACE CONNECTOR
Figure 3-2 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.
The analog output signal has a voltage which depends on gas
concentration relative to the full scale of the 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.
The signal output for concentration is linear over the currently
selected analysis range. For example, if the analyzer is set on a range
that was defined as 0-100 ppb benzene, then the output would be as
shown in Table 3-2.
To provide an indication of the range, the Range ID analog outputs
are used. They generate a steady preset voltage (or current when using
the current outputs) to represent a particular range. Table 3-3 gives the
range ID output for each analysis range.

3.3.2.5ALARM 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 3-4. They are
capable of switching up to 3 amperes at 250 VAC into a resistive load.
The connectors are:

3.3.2.6DIGITAL REMOTE CAL INPUTS
The digital remote calibration input accepts 0 V (off) or 24 VDC
(on) for remote control of calibration. (See Remote Calibration Protocol below.) See Table 3-5 for pin connections.
Span: Floating input. A 5–24 V input across the + and – pins puts the
analyzer into the Span mode. Either side may be grounded at the
source of the signal. A 0–1 volt across the terminals allows Span
mode to terminate when done. A synchronous signal must open
and close external span valve appropriately.
Cal Contact: This relay contact is closed while analyzer is spanning.
(See Remote Calibration Protocol below.)
Table 3-5: Remote Calibration Connections
Pin Function
10 + Remote Span
12 – Remote Span
40 Cal Contact
41 Cal Contact
Remote Calibration Protocol: To properly time the Digital Remote Cal
Inputs to the Model 4060 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 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 span command is sent, and acknowledged (contact closes),
release it. If the command is continued until after the 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 span command
until the CRC closes (The CRC will quickly close.)
34 Teledyne Analytical Instruments
Series 4060 Installation
2. When the CRC closes, remove the span command.
When CRC opens again, the span calibration is done, and the sample
is being analyzed.
3.3.2.7
RANGE IDRELAYS
There are three dedicated Range ID relay contacts. They 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 3-6 lists the pin connections. Contacts
are normally open, and they close when 4060 switches to that particular
range.

3.3.3 Gas Connections
The analyzer gas connection diagram identifies the various gas
connection points as to function and location. Figure 3-1 shows the gas
connection points for instruments fitted with the optional autocal
module.
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 37
Installation Series 4060
Figure 3-3: Gas Connections
Gas connections to the instrument are made at the 1/8”or 1/4”
stainless steel tube fittings provided on the rear panel. Note that the
Purge and Sensor Vent fittings are 1/4” while all other gas connections
are 1/8”.
It is recommended that all gas tubing leading to the connections on
the back of the analyzer be of the coiled type. This will facilitate sliding
the unit out of the case without disconnecting the gas supply to the
analyzer.
Before tubing is connected to the system, it must be decontaminated
to eliminate any hydrocarbon deposits. Using a small torch, heat each
length of tubing while passing nitrogen through it until it glows red.
Begin at the nitrogen source end and proceed down the length of the
tube, “chasing” the red glow (and hydrocarbon deposits) down to the
open end of the tube. Cap the tubing while not in use with suitable noncontaminating caps.
All sample, calibration, and supporting gas lines, which deliver gas
to the analyzer, must be decontaminated before connection; vent lines do
not.
When connecting the various gas lines to the system, be absolutely
certain that no “dead ends” are left; that is, no unused branch lines
should be left capped off, where pockets might form of material that is
38 Teledyne Analytical Instruments
Series 4060 Installation
not representative of the current contents of the line, or which might
keep contaminants from being purged out of the system.
CAUTION: THE GASES USED MUST BE OF THE HIGHEST
QUALITY, ULTRA ZERO GRADES, AS SHOWN
BELOW. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN
CONTAMINATION AND FAILURE TO DETECT LOW
PPB BENZENE:
AIR: USE WATER PUMPED AIR WITH THC LESS THAN
0.1 PPM. DO NOT USE OIL PUMPED AIR UNDER
ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
FUEL: HYDROGEN GAS, 100%, ZERO QUALITY WITH THC
LESS THAN 0.5 PPM.
CARRIER GAS: NITROGEN GAS, ULTRA ZERO GRADE WITH THC
LESS THAN 0.05 PPM.
Normally, four supporting gases of different composition (see
Section 4.1: Equipment) will be required to operate the analyzer. The
recommended composition is specified Appendix B: Addendum and
Testing Results. The gases should be supplied from cylinders that are
equipped with the type of regulator specified in the aforementioned
sections.
CAUTION: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU
EMPLOY A REGULATOR THAT IS NOT EQUIPPED
WITH A METALLIC DIAPHRAGM ANYWHERE IN THE
SYSTEM.
The regulators should be inspected prior to installation to be sure
that they are oil-free. Failure to comply with these directives will result
in a constant drift in analyzer output, as organic compounds will outgas
into the plumbing system at a rate that is related to the ambient
temperature. Use 316 stainless steel, dual-stage stainless steel diaphragm
regulators only in fuel, sample, and blanket air lines; shutoff valves
should be used downstream from each regulator.
Place the supply cylinders as close to the analyzer as possible, and
connect to the analyzer with new tubing. Be sure that all plumbing
connections are free of leaks.
Note: Use only stainless steel tubing throughout the system.
Consult the assembly, piping, outline drawings, and any
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 39
Installation Series 4060
Addenda included with this manual to determine if special
conditions apply.
3.3.3.1EFFLUENT
All the gases introduced into the detection cell vent from one fitting
at the rear of the analyzer. TAI recommends that the cell be permitted to
vent directly to the atmosphere wherever possible.
If a vent line is required, the installation must include a drop-out pot
to collect the water that is formed by the burning of the hydrogen fuel.
The vent line must be constructed so that water and dirt cannot collect in
it.
3.3.3.2SAMPLE BYPASS VENT
The sample bypassed by the back-pressure regulation system vents
from a separate port at the rear of the analyzer. If a vent line is required,
it must be installed so that water and dirt cannot accumulate in it.
3.3.3.3FUEL AND AIR CONNECTIONS
The fuel used to provide combustion should be hydrogen gas, zero
quality with certified THC of less than 0.5 ppm and supplied at a
pressure of 40 psig. The compressed air, ultra zero gas quality with
THC less than 0.1 ppm should be used and supplied at a pressure of 40
psig. Connect the fuel and air sources to the instrument according to the
gas connection diagram included at the back of this manual.
3.3.3.4
SAMPLE AND SPAN GAS CONNECTIONS
The sample and span gas connections are made at the rear panel. If
the optional autocal module is installed, the sample and span gas will
connect to this module. If no autocal module is present, these gases
connect to the labeled fittings on the rear panel.
Set the supply pressure for sample and span gas to 20 psig.
3.4 Placing the System in Operation
See Section 4 for information on starting the analyzer for the first
time. Makes sure that all electrical connections have been made
correctly and all connectors are fully seated. Make sure all gas
connections are correct and leak–free.

Operation
This section of the manual describes how to setup and operate the
Model 4060 Analyzer. Sections 4.1 through 4.5 describe preliminary
steps and equipment needed to operate the analyzer. Beginning with
Section 4.6, the actual operation of the analyzer is described along with
descriptions of the display prompts, messages and options available to
the user within a menu or sub menu. You should read this chapter in its
entirety and become familiar with the operating characteristics of this
system before starting the analyzer for the first time. The Addendum and Testing Results section of Appendix B lists the software revision and
default settings for your specific system.
4.1 Equipment
The following supporting gases and hardware will be required to
operate the (standard) analyzer:
1. Fuel: A cylinder containing a hydrogen gas, zero gas quality
composition will be required to supply the fuel for the flame
ionization burner. The cylinder is to be equipped with an oil-free
metallic diaphragm regulator (dual stage).
2. Blanket Air: A cylinder of compressed air, zero gas quality will
be required to maintain the proper atmosphere within the cell.
The cylinder is to be equipped with an oil-free, dual stage,
metallic diaphragm regulator.
3. Carrier Gas: A cylinder of nitrogen gas, zero gas quality,
equipped with dual stage metallic diaphragm regulator is
required.
4. Span Gas: A cylinder or a permeation device system, capable of
generating known concentration of benzene and/or other
aromatic hydrocarbons of interest, will be required to standardize
the analyzer.
5. Sample Pressure Regulation: An oil-free, metallic diaphragm
regulator must be installed at the sample point when possible; see
Section 3.3.3 Gas Connections.

4.2 Preliminary Power-Off Check List
Make the following checks of the installation before proceeding
further into the start-up procedure:
1. Check to see that the sample and supporting gas installation is in
accordance with the specifications called for in the installation
and application sections of the manual (Chapter 3). Be sure that
the supporting gases are of the proper composition and are
connected to the correct fittings at the rear of the analyzer.
2. Check to see that the electrical installation conforms to the
instructions contained in the installation section (Chapter 3) and
on the input-output diagram.
3. Open the door and check to see that the printed circuit boards
and cables are firmly seated in their respective sockets.
4. Confirm that recorder and alarm connections are properly made.
4.3 Activating the Support Gases
All gas controls are located on the front panel as shown in Figure 1-
1.
42 Teledyne Analytical Instruments
Series 4060 Operation
4.3.1 Air
1. Set the air source regulator to 40 psig.
2. Adjust the analyzer air regulator until the air pressure gauge
reads the recommended air pressure of 7.0 psig.
After the air is flowing through the sensor and warm-up time has
been completed, activate the following gases:
4.3.2 Carrier Gas
Set the carrier gas source regulator to 80 psig and adjust the analyzer
sample regulator until the sample pressure gauge reads the
recommended sample pressure of 7.0 psig.
4.3.3 Span Gas
1. Feed span gas to the analyzer (see Section 4.6.5). Gas switching
can also be handled through the autocal valves (if the option is
added), which can also be manually activated as described in
Section 4.6.5.
2. Observe that the analyzer sample flow meter reads from 0.3 to
1.0 SCFH.
4.3.4 Fuel
1. Open the main valve on the fuel source and set the fuel pressure
regulator to 40 psig.
2. Adjust the fuel regulator until its pressure gauge reads the
recommended pressure of 4.0 psig.
Note: Adjust fuel settings only when the red LED (flame failure
light) is off.
4.4 Flame Ignition
Observe that after warm up count down timer reaches zero (timer to
preheat the sensor), the amber heater lamp is blinking (indicating that
the temperature controller is maintaining the temperature setpoint) and
the red Flame Out lamp is on. See Figure 1-1.
The Model 4060 will automatically attempt a flame ignition
sequence following the warm up period which has been preset at the
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 43
Operation Series 4060
factory. If the ignition process fails, the instrument will attempt to ignite
the flame 4 more times. If it continues to fail after the fifth attempt, a
flame failure message will appear on the display. If this occurs refer to
Section 5.
4.4.1 Verification of the Flame Guard Circuit
The operation of the flame guard circuit has been checked at the
factory, but should be re-verified during start-up. Use the following
procedure after ignition of the flame has been achieved:
1. Turn off the fuel at the supply cylinder.
2. Observe the fuel pressure gauge on the analyzer control panel. The
gauge indication will decay as the fuel in the line is exhausted.
When the gauge reading reaches near zero, the flame will
extinguish as the fuel solenoid shuts off the fuel supply. The
analyzer will automatically try to re-ignite. After 5 attempts, it will
display: flame failure, check air, fuel and the flame failure LED
will be on.
3. Open the cylinder supply valve and re-ignite the flame by
pushing the up and down buttons simultaneously.
4.4.2 Ignition and/or Flame Guard Circuit Failure
If the flame ignition or guard circuits do not operate as described in
the above two sections, set the instrument fuel regulator to the
recommended pressure. If still fails to ignite, proceed as directed in
Chapter 5: Maintenance & Troubleshooting.
4.5 Sample Pump
A built-in sample pump is provided to draw sample gas from
ambient air. The gas flow rate should be maintained at about 1000 to
1200 cc/minute using the Front Panel flow control valve (clockwise
increases flow). See Figure 1-1.
4.6 Analyzer Operation
Although the Model 4060 has been programmed for your application
at the factory, it can be further configured at the operator level.
Depending on the specifics of the application, this might include all or a
set of the following procedures:
44 Teledyne Analytical Instruments
Series 4060 Operation
1. Setting system parameters
Establish a security password, if desired, requiring operator
to log in.
Establish and start an automatic calibration cycle (if equipped
with the optional autocal module).
2. Routine operation.
Calibrate the instrument.
Choose autoranging or select a fixed range of analysis.
Set alarm setpoints and modes of alarm operation.
3. Special functions setup.
Calibrate analog output, select analog output source.
Procedures for accessing and/or changing parameters as well as
analyzer operation are detailed in the sections to follow. In general, the
sequence of menus available on screen follows a logical course for setup
and operation. It is not required, however to follow this sequential path.
The user could, for instance, go directly to set an analysis range and then
program an offset to the current output for matching a range on the
user’s recording device. The only exception to this is when the
instrument is powered up. It will go through a warm-up period, followed
by a diagnostic self-test routine.
Caution: ALARM SUPPRESSION:
When an alarm condition occurs (see ALARMS),
one or both of the messages, 'AL-1', and/or 'AL2' will be displayed on the VFD while in the
ANALYSIS SCREEN. At this time, the ENTER
button may be pressed to acknowledge the
alarm(s) in which case the alarms will be
suppressed until the analysis value is next
updated. This can result in a condition where the
screen may be reporting a value that should
cause an alarm, but until the analyzer again
enters SAMPLE MODE, no alarm condition will
reoccur.
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 45
Operation Series 4060
4.6.1 Default Parameters
The versatility of this analyzer usually results in significant changes
being made to parameters over the course of time to better suit a
particular application. Occasionally processes change requiring
alteration to alarms, filter settings etc. At some time, it may be
beneficial to reset the analyzer to the default conditions as it was when
shipped from the factory. Below is a listing of the default parameters
used in configuring the typical Model 4060 instrument. Your specific
application may require different settings. Refer to the Addendum and Testing Results section of Appendix B for any specific changes or
recommendations that apply to your application.

4.6.3 Navigation and Data Entry
Note: All menus time out after 15 (fifteen) seconds elapse with
no button presses, the analyzer returns to the ANALYSIS
SCREEN, if parameters have been altered but not saved
(with the ENTER key), the alterations are lost.
Navigation and Data Entry is possible using 2 ARROW KEYS, the
ENTER key, and the ESCAPE key. It is important to read and
understand the MENU STRUCTURE section to fully understand
navigation and data entry.
4.6.3.1
ARROW KEYS
Pressing the ARROW KEYS select menus and modifies values.
1. In the ANALYSIS SCREEN, the ARROW KEYS cause entry
into the MAIN MENU.
2. When the selected option is a function on the MAIN MENU or
any SUB MENU screen, the ARROW KEYS move to the next
lower or upper menu.
3. If the selected option is a MODIFIABLE ITEM (value is
flashing), Th e ARROW KEYS increment or decrement numeric
values or toggle ON/OFF, YES/NO, or ENABLE/DISABLE
type values.
4. The arrow keys, when pressed simultaneously, are used to
manually ignite the flame after a flame-out condition.
4.6.3.2ENTER
The ENTER key is used in several context-sensitive ways.
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 47
Operation Series 4060
1. When the selected option is a function on the MAIN MENU
or any SUB MENU screen, the function name appears with an arrow next to it. In some cases, the item in the menu is
the parent of another SUB MENU, in other cases, the item in
the menu is the parent of a MODIFIABLE ITEM.
2. If the selected option is a MODIFIABLE ITEM, the ARROW
KEYS are used to modify the value of the item. A modifiable item is flashing. The ENTER key is then used to accept the
value and move you to the next field to continue programming.
4.6.3.3ESCAPE
The ESCAPE key is used in several context-sensitive ways.
1. When displaying the analysis mode, the ESCAPE key
temporarily clears any present alarms. However, if the alarm
condition is still present, the alarm will re-occur when redetected. Also, pressing the ESCAPE key clears the
messages generated by incorrect gain settings (i.e. bad span,
gain too high).
2. When the selected option is a function on the MAIN MENU
or any SUB MENU screen (the menu name appears with a
flashing arrow next to it), the ESCAPE key is used to return
to the parent menu finally returning to the ANALYSIS SCREEN the function.
3. If the selected option is a modifiable item (value is flashing),
The ESCAPE key is used to escape to the parent menu without saving the value. The value will revert to the original before
modification (if any).
4.6.4 Menu Structure
The 4060 screen setup consists of several classes of screens and
items. No item occupies more than 1 line. It is important to read and
understand the NAVIGATION AND DATA ENTRY section to fully
understand the menu structure.
1. The ANALYSIS SCREEN displays the analysis value, the
range, the alarms (if any) and some information about what
phase of analysis is occurring.
48 Teledyne Analytical Instruments
Series 4060 Operation
2. The MAIN MENU and SUB MENU screens have a flashing
arrow on the left side indicating which item is being pointed
to.
3. MODIFIABLE ITEM screens have a flashing value
somewhere in the line.
4.6.4.1MAIN MENUS
The MAIN MENU consists of 15 functions you can use to customize
and check the operation of the analyzer. They are listed here with brief
descriptions:
SPAN: Set up and/or start a span calibration
ALT-SPAN: Set up and/or start an alternate span calibration.
MODEL: Displays Manufacturer, Model, and Software
version of the instrument.
SELF-TEST: The instrument performs a self-diagnostic
routine to check the integrity of the power supply, output
boards, cell and amplifiers.
ALARMS: Used to set the alarm setpoints and determine
whether each alarm will be active or defeated, HI or LO
acting, and failsafe or not.
RANGE: Used to set up three analysis ranges that can be
switched manually.
ANALOG-OUT ADJUST: Adjust the analog output with
offset and scaling.
LINEARIZATION: Linearization option.
CHANGE STREAM: (optional feature) Controls a relay
switch for using alternate gases. Has no effect during span
mode (span gas relay setting used at that time).
AUTO-CAL: Used to define and/or start an automatic
calibration sequence. AUTOCAL is an optional feature not included in the standard configurations of the 4060.
TIMING: Low level application specific timing parameters.
Factory set. Do not change these.
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 49
Operation Series 4060
GROUP SETUP: Determines compound names, associated
timing and measurement ranges. Do not change these.
PSWD: Used to establish password protection or change the
existing password.
LOGOUT: Logging out prevents unauthorized tampering with
the analyzer settings.
STANDBY: Removes power to outputs and displays, but
maintains power to internal circuitry.
Any function can be selected at anytime. Just scroll through the
MAIN MENU with the DOWN/UP keys to the appropriate function, and
ENTER it. The analyzer will immediately start that function, unless
password restrictions have been assigned. (Password assignment is
explained in Section 4.6.17).
4.6.5 Span
The SPAN function is used to calibrate the analyzer. Span can be
performed either manually or automatically with the autocal function if
equipped.
The analyzer is calibrated using span gas as described in Section 4.1.
This section assumes that this gas has been properly connected and the
line checked for leaks.
To initiate a span calibration:
<UP/DOWN >From the MAIN MENU, scroll down to the SPAN
function.
<Enter> Press <Enter> to activate the SPAN function.
________________________________________________
-> Span 80.00 ppb
Span Begin
________________________________________________
The first line allows the user to modify the span target value.
The second line commences the span after the following query:
50 Teledyne Analytical Instruments
Series 4060 Operation
________________________________________________
Begin Span:
ENTER-YES ESCAPE-NO
________________________________________________
Pressing <Enter> enters the SPAN mode in the Sampling Phase.
This is similar to the Analysis Mode both in the Sampling Phase and
Analysis Phase. The difference is that, at the end, the analyzer
calculates the calibration constants rather than the standard
concentration calculation. After both Sampling Phase and Analysis
Phase are complete, the calculation is performed and the 40660 re-enters
Analysis Mode.
4.6.6 ALT-SPAN
If a particular compound of interest is not contained in the span
gas, another compound existing in the span gas can be used for the
alternate calibration.
4.6.7 The Model Screen
The MODEL screen displays the model, and software version
information. It is accessed via the MAIN MENU by scrolling
(UP/DOWN > to MODEL and pressing <Enter>.
4.6.8 System Self-Diagnostic Test
The Model 4060 has a built-in self-diagnostic testing routine.
Preprogramming signals are sent through the power supply, output
board, preamp board and sensor circuit. The return signal is analyzed,
and at the end of the test the status of each function is displayed on the
screen, either as GOOD or BAD. If any of the functions fail, the System
Alarm is tripped.
Note: The self diagnostics are run automatically by the analyzer
whenever the instrument is turned on, but the test can also
be run by the operator at will.
Note: The self diagnostics will interrupt analysis temporarily.
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 51
Operation Series 4060
To initiate a self-test:
<UP/DOWN >From the MAIN MENU scroll to the SELF-TEST

4.6.9 The Alarms Function
The Model 4060 is equipped with two alarms and a system failure
alarm relay. Each alarm relay has a set of form "C" contacts rated for 3
amperes resistive load at 250 VAC. See Figure in Chapter 3, Installation
and/or the Interconnection Diagram included at the back of this manual
for relay terminal connections. The alarm relay contacts are accessible to
the user from 50-pin Equipment Connector. See Section 3.3.2.5 and
Table 3-2.
The system failure alarm has a fixed configuration described in
Chapter 3 Installation.
The concentration alarms can be configured from the ALARM
function screen as follows:
Note: For the purpose of example, Alarm 2 has been set
differently than Alarm 1.)
Note: An alar m in 'alarm condition' is signaling that action must
be taken such as correcting the alarm or the analysis
concentration. If an active (not defeated) alarm has been
set to HIGH at 20.0 ppb, and the analysis concentration is
above that level, then the 'alarm condition' is occurring.
DEFEATED: If an alarm is defeated, its relay is de-energized,
regardless of failsafe condition. A defeated alarm does not react to a
transition over its trip point in either direction.
HIGH: If an alarm is set as HIGH, it will not create a new alarm
condition (see latching) if the analysis concentration is below the trip
point, if the analysis concentration is above the trip point, then an alarm
condition will be created or maintained.
FAILSAFE: A non-defeated alarm that is in FAILSAFE mode
energizes an alarm relay in a non-alarm condition and de-energizes an
alarm relay in an alarm condition.
Note: Failsafe condition of an alarm is in software. This is not
related to relays that have both normally-open and
normally-closed terminals.
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 53
Operation Series 4060
LATCHING: The latching property configures the alarm such that the
user must manually relieve the alarm condition even though the
concentration no longer violates the trip point of the alarm. So, if an
alarm is NON-LATCHING, and the analysis concentration temporarily
drifts above the trip point of a HIGH alarm, the alarm condition occurs
only during the time the concentration is above the trip point. If that
alarm were LATCHING, the alarm condition would persist (even though
the concentration is no longer above the trip point), until the user
released it.
RELEASING A LATCHED ALARM: When alarm conditions are
present, the main analysis screen will have one or both of the following
messages: 'AL-1', 'AL-2' followed by the instruction 'ENT/ACK' .
Pressing ENTER will release a latched alarm. That is, if there will not
be an alarm condition until the analysis concentration is again violating
the trip point. Furthermore, the alarms will be suppressed until the
analysis value is updated, so even though the screen may be reporting a
value that should cause an alarm, until the analyzer again enters
SAMPLE MODE, no alarm condition will reoccur.
TRIGGER POINT: This is the threshold at which an active alarm can
enter into alarm condition. If an alarm is HIGH, ACTIVE, and set at
20.00 ppb, then when the analysis concentration is at or above 20.00 ppb
an alarm condition is initiated or maintained.
CAUTION: IT IS NOT GOOD PRACTICE TO SILENCE AN
EXISTING ALARM BY SETTING THE ALARM
ATTRIBUTE TO ‘DEFEAT”. THE ALARM WILL NOT
AUTOMATICALLY RETURN TO “ACTIVE” STATUS.
IT MUST BE RESET BY THE OPERATOR. IF IT IS
NOT RESET, YOUR PROCESS WILL BE RUNNING

R2: 0- 1.00ppm
R3: 0- 10.00ppm
________________________________________________
The value of the upper limit of the currently selected range (AUTO
or MANUAL) affects the voltage and current of the analog outputs on
the rear of the analyzer as well as contact closures indicating which
range is current. The analog outputs from the 50 –pin Equipment
connector (see Section 3.3.2.4 and Table 3-1) represent the proportion of
the analysis concentration to the currently selected range limit.
MANUAL/AUTO RANGE SELECT: In Manual Range Select, the
range indicated on the second line 'Man Rng:' is maintained as the
current range of operation. In Auto Range select, the software
determines the smallest range whose limit is larger than the analysis
concentration. Automatic Range selection in Auto Range is governed
by hysteresis such that the concentration must fall below 90% of the
limit of the next smaller range before the current range will be set to the
lower range.
RANGE LIMITS: Ranges may be set as low as 100.0 ppb and as high
as 100.0 ppm. Range 3 can only be set at a value greater than Range 2.
Range 2 can only be set at a value greater than Range 1.

When the instrument has electronically controlled calibration valves
(option), the gas stream can be switched here. You can flow span,
sample (or zero gas) without entering the calibration mode in order to
check instrument response. During a span calibration, the span stream is
activated. After a span calibration, the sample stream is activated
regardless of what was set before the span.
4.6.14 Setting up an AUTO-CAL
The Series 4060 Analyzer can be fitted with an external auto
calibration module as an option. This feature provides automatic
switching of sample and calibration gases and allows the operator to
program calibration events to occur automatically
Note: If your instrument is not fitted with an autocal module, the
autocal screens will still appear on the display but will be
non-functional.
Note: Before setting up an AUTOCAL, be sure you understand
56 Teledyne Analytical Instruments
Series 4060 Operation
the Span functions as described in Section 4.6.5, and
follow the precautions given there. Auto Span performs a
span calibration using the target span value set in the
Span feature menu.
Note: If you require highly accurate AUTOCAL timing, use
external AUTOCAL control where possible. The internal
clock in the Model 4060 is accurate to 2-3 %. Accordingly,
internally scheduled calibrations can vary 2-3 % per day.
To setup an autocalcycle for a span event to occur in a certain

SAFE PROCEDURES WHEN HANDLING OR
WORKING WITH ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
.
If the analyzer is suspected of incorrect operation, always evaluate
performance with zero or span gas flowing in the sample path. Never
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 65
Maintenance Series 4060
attempt to evaluate performance on sample gas. If analyzer sensitivity is
questionable, use the span gas. For all other evaluations, use the zero gas
and low range for maximum sensitivity. The important consideration is
to control as many variables as possible. Using cylinder-supplied gases
of known hydrocarbon content eliminates the possibility of introducing
an unknown variable.
Do not overlook the seemingly obvious. Check to see that power is
available for the instrument (and of the proper voltage, etc.), and that
connections are correct. Also verify that support/calibration gases are
not depleted.
5.1 Measuring Circuit Electrical Checks
If the analyzer performs erratically on span gas, the trouble can be
related to either the integral gas control systems, or the electronics. To
isolate the problem, the two systems must be separated. To isolate the
electronics, employ the following procedure:
Open the door to the analyzer, remove and disconnect the
collector cable from the sensor leaving it attached to the
electrometer board. (Consult schematic and assembly drawings
for circuitry and location). With this cable disconnected, the
electronic circuitry is completely isolated from the gas control
system and cell.
5.1.1 Anode Voltage Check
If the output can be adjusted by the zero control (the above section,
step 2), the cell anode voltage should be verified as follows:
WARNING: THESE PROCEDURES SHOULD BE CARIED OUT
ONLY BY PERSONNEL FAMILIAR WITH HIGH
VOLTAGE CIRCUIT BOARDS. THE ANODE-IGNITER
UNIT AND ASSOCIATE CIRCUITRY INVOLVE
DANGEROUSLY HIGH VOLTAGES.
Refer to the cell wiring diagram. Using a voltmeter set to measure
125 VDC, check the voltage on either of the anode-igniter electrodes, as
follows:
1. Connect the negative voltmeter lead to ground and the positive
lead to either electrode. Be careful not to short the circuit by
touching both an electrode and the cell body simultaneously. The
reading obtained should be 125±10 VDC.
66 Teledyne Analytical Instruments
Series 4060 Maintenance
2. If no reading is obtained, disconnect the anode-igniter cable and
check for the voltage on pin “J4-1” of the connector located at
PC board part number B74671. If the proper voltage is still not
present, replace the flame guard and anode power supply PC
board. If it is, check the wiring in the anode-igniter cable plug. If
necessary, the circuit board can be replaced by first turning off
the power, then removing 4 screws holding the board.
WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH CAPACITOR C1 OR C2 OR THEIR
RELATED CIRCUIT FOILS. A SHOCK HAZARD MAY
EXIST.
3. Carefully remove the circuit board without touching any
connections which might lead to C1 or C2. After removal,
discharge the two capacitors by placing a jumper wire across
each.
4. The anode voltage may also disappear or be greatly diminished
when condensation inside the sensor has occurred, shorting the
igniter to the sensor body across the wet insulator. This usually
occurs when the flame is turned on, if the sensor has not been
preheated for at least 1 hour.
5.1.2 Electronic Stability
If the checks outlined above indicate that conditions are normal,
allow the analyzer to run electronically with the collector cable
disconnected for several hours in the lowest range, and with the zero
offset value adjusted so that the recorder is reading midscale. If all is
normal electronically, a noise-free (pen width) recording, showing
absolutely no instability, should be obtained for as long as the analyzer
is allowed to run in this configuration. If the recording obtained is noisy
or erratic, replace the electrometer-amplifier PC board.
5.1.3 Printed Circuit Board Replacement
If performance is not adequate, then the analyzer must be
recalibrated as described in Section 4.6.5: Span before being placed back
in service.
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 67
Maintenance Series 4060
Whenever the flame guard and anode power supply printed circuit
board have been replaced the analyzer must be recalibrated.
If the instrument performs as outlined in this section, the problem is
not related to the measuring circuit electronics.
5.1.4 Collector Cable
Before reconnecting the collector cable, check the continuity of the
center wire of the cable with an ohmmeter by measuring between the
center pins at each plug on the lowest resistance scale of the meter. Flex
the cable while making this measurement to be sure that there is not an
intermittent open circuit. If there is, replace the cable. Do not attempt to
repair the cable, as special tooling is required to disassemble and
reassemble the cable plugs.
5.2 Temperature Control Electronic Check
If the heating circuit fails, the output of the analyzer will tend to drift
with changes in ambient temperature. Such a failure will be more
evident in the low range. If the temperature environment surrounding the
analyzer is closely regulated, failure in this circuit might go unnoticed
after the initial failure. If the environment follows day and night
temperature changes, the analyzer will show a diurnal, bi-directional
drift when operated on zero gas. The magnitude of the drift will be a
function of the temperature differential experienced by the analyzer. To
check the circuit, employ the following procedure:
Consult the 4060 schematic and assembly drawings, as well as the
temperature control PC board schematic and assembly drawings at the
rear of the manual for circuit details and component placement.
An indicator light behind the analyzer door cycles on and off with
the heating element; the light is on when the heater is on, and vice versa.
Failure of the light to come on at all when the cell compartment is cold
indicates a problem in the temperature sensing or control circuitry or the
wiring that interconnects the thermistor to the circuit. If the light stays
on constantly, but the compartment does not heat up, then a problem
with the heating element or connecting wiring is indicated.
1. Check the sensing thermistor by measuring the resistance
between its connecting wires. Disconnect one of the thermistor
wires from terminal strip on the temperature controller board,
P/N B30927, the wires out of the thermistor are yellow, and
68 Teledyne Analytical Instruments
Series 4060 Maintenance
measure resistance between that wire and the remaining
undisturbed terminal. Resistance of the thermistor varies with its
surrounding temperature. A reading of between 10KOhms and
16Kohms at around 25°C may be measured. (Under very cold
conditions, the resistance could be as high as 50KOhms; under
hot conditions, just a few thousand ohms.) If the thermistor
measures anywhere in this range, it is most likely OK.
Otherwise, if the circuit is short or open, check the wires leading
to the thermistor,
2. Check the heating element by measuring its resistance. Disconnect
one of the heater wires from either terminal 2 or terminal 4 on the
temperature control board P/N B30927, heater wires are black,
and check the resistance between that wire and the remaining
undisturbed terminal. If a reading of approximately 100 Ohms,
then the heating element is most likely OK. If an open circuit is
found, check the heater wires and a possible connector between
the heater and temperature control board. If no problems are
found, and the heater circuit is open, then replace the heater
element.
Note: If any of the components located inside the isothermal
chamber has failed, the instrument must be removed for
service. If no problems are found with either the thermistor
or the heater circuits, then replace the temperature control
board.
5.3 Ignition and/or Flame Guard Circuit Checks
If the flame guard circuit will not hold the flame-out lamp off when
the ignition procedure is employed (see section 4.4 Flame Ignition),
perform the following procedure to isolate the problem (consult the
system schematic for details of the circuit):
1. Disconnect the anode-igniter/flame guard thermistor cable from
the socket.
2. Check the flame guard sensing thermistor by measuring the
resistance between pins J4-3&4 of PCB part number B74671,
disconnect the cable plug. The reading should be about 100 KΩ at
room temperature. The actual resis tance is no t importan t, sinc e the
thermistor experiences radical changes in resistance as the
temperature changes. No indication in a sufficiently high range on
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 69
Maintenance Series 4060
the ohmmeter indicates an open thermistor. (If the thermistor is hot,
the resistance will be much lower.)
3. Check the anode-igniter coil for continuity by measuring
between pins J4-1&2 of the disconnected cable plug. The
ohmmeter should indicate a short circuit.
4. If either step 2 or 3 does not check as indicated, remove the
electrode assembly of the detection cell and replace it. If the
quartz flame tip is damaged, the top section of the cell may be
removed by disconnecting the vent line, and removing the screws
around its flange. Return the unit complete with attached
electrode cable. If steps 2 and 3 both check out properly,
reconnect the anode-igniter cable.
5. Check K1 and K2 relays operation as the analyzer is RE-
IGNITING. If the relays do not energize , remove the flame
guard power supply board and check the forward and backward
resistance of its transient suppression diode by measuring pins 13
and 14 of the relay socket.. The ohmmeter should indicate a short
circuit resistance in one direction, and some resistance value
when the leads are reversed. If the indication is a short circuit,
then the diode must be replaced.
Note: If, after replacing a defective diode, the circuit still does not
work properly, the flame guard circuit components have
been damaged, and the PC board must be replaced.
6. If the preceding steps check out correctly, the flame guard
portion of the circuitry on the flame guard/anode power supply
PC board is defective.
IMPORTANT: If the circuit proves defective, the analyzer will
have to be recalibrated after the board is
replaced.
5.4 Sampling System
If the procedures outlined above do not correct the problem, the fault
must be related to the gas control systems. Plugged or faulty regulators,
plugged restrictors, or leaks within the system can cause erratic
performance. TAI recommends that the factory or an authorized
representative be contacted before attempting any repairs to the sample
or supporting gas systems within the analyzer.

5.5 Printed Circuit Board Descriptions
The electronics circuitry of the analyzer is designed with the latest
integrated circuit technology. The individual circuits which are required
to process the incoming signal and condition it to provide the various
outputs, alarms, indicators, etc.,
5.5.1 Flame Guard and Anode Power Supply PCB
Schematic No. B-74672
Assembly Dwg. No.B-74671
Anode Power Supply: The high voltage anode power supply
components are mounted on the flame guard and anode power supply
printed circuit board. High voltage regulation is achieved through the
use of zener diodes. The simplicity of this circuit’s design can be
attributed to the extremely low current demand of the anode circuit. The
positive output voltage is nominally 125 volts. Output tolerance is ±10
volts from the specified 250 volts, due to variation in components from
unit to unit.
Flame Guard Circuit: A thermistor-controlled, comparator circuit is
employed to operate relays in the event of a flame-out condition. A
panel indicator light is turned on by the relay to alarm personnel that a
flame-out condition has occurred.
The controlling thermistor is located within the upper section of the
cell assembly. The electronic circuit components and relays are mounted
on the same printed circuit board as the anode power supply. the
indicator light on the control panel.
The thermistor is located in the circuit so that it controls the input of
comparator. The circuit is factory set so that with the flame burning, the
output of comparator is low. The microprocessor senses the low input
and in turn sends 5VDC to turn on Q1, this holds the relay energized.
When energized, the relay extinguishes the Flame Out indicator light.
Conversely, if the flame goes out, bias to the switching transistor is lost,
the relay drops out, and the Flame Out light receives power through
normally closed contacts.
During ignition, the flame heats the thermistor, holding the relay in
the energized condition and the indicator light off. If the Flame Out light
comes on as the analyzer returns analyzing mode, then the flame is not
burning, and the ignition procedure must be repeated.
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 71
Maintenance Series 4060
5.5.2 Proportional Temperature Controller PCB
Schematic No. B-30974
Assembly Dwg. No. B-30927
The temperature of the chamber to be controlled is regulated by a
thermistor-directed electronic circuit. The thermistor and heating
element are located in the chamber, and the balance of the circuit
components are mounted on the temperature controller printed circuit
board, which plugs into a connector on the motherboard.
The control temperature is determined by the value of resistor R3
and C3 on the temperature controller printed circuit board, selected (at
the time of manufacture) from the chart on schematic B-30974 to
provide the desired control point.
The thermistor used in the circuit is a negative temperature
coefficient (NTC) device; as the chamber temperature increases, the
resistance of the thermistor decreases, and vice versa.
The resistance of the thermistor in the circuit is compared with the
value of resistor R3; when their resistance is equal, or when the
resistance of R3 is less than that of the thermistor, the heating circuit is
activated.
When a temperature deficiency is sensed by the thermistor,
integrated circuit A1, acting as a zero-crossing switch, applies a pulsed
signal to triac Q1, which in turn applies full wave power to the heating
element.
IC A1 employs a diode limiter, a zero-crossing (threshold) detector,
an on-off sensing amplifier (differential comparator), and a Darlington
output driver (thyristor gating circuit) to provide the basic switching
action. The DC operating voltages for these stages are provided by an
internal power supply, with only capacitor C4 added externally.
The on-off sensing amplifier in this circuit is configured as a freerunning multivibrator. This scheme adds proportional control, which
takes over when the comparator inputs are at the design differential
voltage.
Initially, when cold, the thermistor resistance is large, and the
voltage at pin 7 is larger than that at pin 8. As the temperature of the
controlled chamber begins to rise, the resistance of the thermistor
decreases, thus reducing the voltage at pin 8. During this warm-up time
72 Teledyne Analytical Instruments
Series 4060 Maintenance
the thyristor gating circuit is continuously delivering gate current from
pin 4 of A1, thus maintaining constant full wave AC power to the heater.
When the temperature reaches the selected control point, pin 13
voltage is about the same as pin 9 voltage, and proportional control takes
over. The rate at which thyristor (triac) Q1 conducts and allows power to
be delivered to the heater is determined by the combination of
components R2 & R3, R4, C3, R5, and the thermistor resistance at the
control temperature. Consequently, the balance point of the bridge
formed by this combination of components can be altered by the
selection of R3, causing the circuit to seek a temperature at which the
thermistor resistance balances the bridge.
Because IC A1 triggers the thyristor at zero-voltage points in the
supply voltage cycle, transient load current surges and radio frequency
interference (RFI) are substantially reduced. In addition, use of the zerovoltage-switch reduces the rate of change of on-state current (di/dt) in
the thyristor.
5.5.3 Electrometer-Amplifier PCB
Schematic No. B79159
Assembly Dwg. No. B79153A
The ions formed in the process of burning hydrogen in the presence
of hydrocarbon components of the sample gas cause an electrical
conduction between two electrodes in the combustion chamber (or
detector cell) that is amplified by a high sensitivity and high input
impedance electrometer-amplifier circuit. The electrical output of the
electrometer-amplifier is directly proportional to the quantity of flame
ionizable hydrocarbons present.
The electrometer amplifier PC board is located on the side of sample
module, interconnected to the electronics circuitry by means of a single
8 pins cable, so that the ease of replacement of a board is maintained.
The high input impedance requires a shield, or cover, which is
removable for access, as well as a shielded input conductor.
Interconnection with the collector is made by a coaxial cable.
Although the cable and fittings are intended for coaxial service,
the cable is actually being used as a shielded single-conductor
connection. The collector cable plugs into a coaxial connector on the
electrometer amplifier PC board, which is located at the side of the
sample mod ule.

Maintenance Series 4060
The circuit consists of an electrometer amplifier and an operational
amplifier. It is a very high-gain, current-to-voltage converter circuit,
having an input impedance measuring in the billions of ohms. It is static
sensitive and highly susceptible to contamination, and special handling
precautions must be taken.
Because of its high impedance, the input circuitry to the electrometer
has had careful design consideration. The resistors (R2 and R3) in the
input gain circuit (see schematic) are installed on Teflon-insulated
standoffs, instead of directly to the printed circuit, to elim inate the
possibility of leakage currents.
To eliminate any possibility of contamination of the insulating
materials employed, the completed PC board is ultrasonically cleaned in
laboratory grade alcohol. Under no circumstances should the parts described be handled with bare fingers. A freshly-scrubbed finger,
stroked along one of the glass resistors, would deposit enough skin oil to
completely upset the range division of the attenuator circuit.
Resistor R3 is a 1000 MΩ resistor used in the feedback circuit of the
amplifier. R2 has a resistance of 10,000 MΩ and is used in series with
the zero potentiometer slider. This circuit is used to nullify any offset
signal introduced by the signal electrode. Trimmer P1 is used to nullify
the offset signal generated by the electrometer amplifier.
The output of the circuit is standardized against gases with known
hydrocarbon concentrations by zero and span calibration, so that the meter
and/or recorder indicate the hydrocarbon concentration of the gas being used.
The positive and negative operating voltage required by the
electrometer amplifier is furnished by a switching power supply circuit,
mounting at the back panel of the Analyzer
The stability of the electrometer circuit can be tested as follows:
1. Disconnect the collector cable.
2. Place the analyzer in the auto range.
3. Adjust zero offset value so that the recorder reads at some
point upscale, and record a 24 hour chart.
