Warranty
This equipment is sold subject to the mutual agreement that it is warranted by us free from
defects of material and of construction, and that our liability shall be limited to replacing or
repairing at our factory (without charge, except for transportation), or at customer plant at
our option, any material or construction in which defects become apparent within one year
from the date of shipment, except in cases where quotations or acknowledgements provide
for a shorter period. Components manufactured by others bear the warranty of their
manufacturer. This warranty does not cover defects caused by wear, accident, misuse,
neglect or repairs other than those performed by Teledyne or an authorized service center.
We assume no liability for direct or indirect damages of any kind and the purchaser by the
acceptance of the equipment will assume all liability for any damage which may result from
its use or misuse.
We reserve the right to employ any suitable material in the manufacture of our apparatus,
and to make any alterations in the dimensions, shape or weight of any parts, in so far as
such alterations do not adversely affect our warranty.
Important Notice
This instrument provides measurement readings to its user, an d serves as a to ol by whic h
valuable data can be gathered. The information provided by the instrument may assist the user
in eliminating potential hazards caused by his process; however, it is essential that all
personnel involved in the use of the instrument or its interface, with the process being
measured, be properly trained in the process itself, as well as all instrumentation related to it.
The safety of personnel is ultimately the responsibility of those who control process
conditions. While this instrument may be able to provide early warning of imminent
danger, it has no control over process conditions, and it can be misused. In particular, any
alarm or control systems installed must be tested and understood, both as to how they
operate and as to how they can be defeated. Any safeguards required such as locks, labels,
or redundancy, must be provided by the user or specifically requested of Teledyne at the
time the order is placed.
Therefore, the purchaser must be aware of the hazardous process conditions. The purchaser
is responsible for the training of personnel, for providing hazard warning methods and
instrumentation per the appropriate standards, and for ensuring that hazard warning devices
and instrumentation are maintained and operated properly.
Teledyne Analytical Instruments, the manufacturer of this instrument, cannot accept
responsibility for conditions beyond its knowledge and control. No statement expressed or
implied by this document or any information disseminated by the manufacturer or its
agents, is to be construed as a warranty of adequate safety control under the user’s process
conditions.

Trace Oxygen Transmitter Introduction
Introduction
1.1 Overview
The Teledyne Analytical Instruments Insta-Trans Trace Oxygen
Transmitter is a versatile instrument for detecting oxygen at the parts-per million (ppm) level in a variety of gases. This manual covers the Insta-Tr ans
Trace Oxygen Transmitter. These units are NEMA-4 rated and may be used
in hazardous environments. The Insta-Trans is also Factory Mutual approved
when installed in accordance with drawing D-73226 located in the back of
this manual.
1.2 Typical Applications
A few typical applications of the Insta-Trans are:
Monitoring inert gas blanketing
Air separation and liquefaction
Chemical reaction monitoring
Semiconductor manufacturing
Petrochemical process control
Quality assurance
Gas analysis certification.
1.3 Main Features of the Transmitter
The Insta-Trans Trace Oxygen Transmitter is sophisticated yet
simple to use. The main features of the analyzer include:
3½ digit LCD display with range and calibration
annunciators.
