Portable Trace Oxygen Analyzer TURBO

Introduction

The Teledyne Analytical Instruments Model TURBO2 is a portable
trace oxygen analyzer which does not need an external power source to
operate, and can be reliably calibrated without the use of additional calibra­tion gases.

The instrument provides for trace oxygen analysis in measuring ranges
of 0-100, 0-1,000 and 0-10,000 PPM (full scale), plus a special calibration
range that encompasses the known oxygen concentration of atmospheric air
(209,000 PPM).

2

Sample oxygen is read from an extremely accurate integral meter (0.5%
linearity) whose range of measurement is determined by the position of the
range selector switch. The 100-division meter scale and the multiplying
factor indicated by the position of the range switch determine the full scale
oxygen sensitivity of the instrument.

Sample gas is introduced and vented via a pair of quick disconnect
fittings that feature integral shutoff valves which automatically close when
the mating male fitting is withdrawn. The fittings are an integral part of the
measuring cell manifold so that internal sample passage volume is at an
absolute minimum. Sample flow control, although not critical (0.1 to 10
liters/min.), is either accomplished with accessory equipment or by the
addition of a pump and flowmeter (TURBO

2

P).

Method of Analysis

The sample oxygen is measured by a unique electrochemical transducer
which functions as a fuel cell; in this instance, the fuel is oxygen. Oxygen
diffusing into the cell reacts chemically to produce an electrical current that is
proportional to the oxygen concentration in the gas phase immediately
adjacent to the transducer’s sensing surface. The Micro-fuel Cell is a Class
S-2, designed for a quick recovery time from air to low PPM levels of
oxygen.

Portable Trace Oxygen Analyzer

The linear, but minute, signal produced by the transducer from trace
oxygen is amplified by a two stage amplifier. The dual stages of amplifica­tion provide enough gain to drive the 0-100 microampere meter and ther­mistor controlled network utilized to compensate for the positive temperature
coefficient of the transducer.

Features

Micro-Fuel Cell:The Micro-fuel Cell (U.S. Pat. #s 3,767,552 and
3,668,101) is a sealed electrochemical transducer with no electrolyte to
change or electrodes to clean. When the cell reaches the end of its useful life,
it is merely thrown away and replaced, as one would replace a worn-out
flashlight battery. The life of the cell is warranted by TAI (see Cell War­ranty, page 11).

Reliable Calibration: The unique qualities of the Micro-fuel Cell
allows the user to calibrate the instrument with the most economical, reliable,
abundant, standardization gas there is—atmospheric air.

The special CAL range of the instrument features a mark that coincides
with the 209,000 PPM oxygen concentration of air. By drawing air through
the instrument (see Calibration, page 6) reliable calibration can be achieved.

After the electronics have been properly zeroed (a one-time factory
operation), the instrument cannot produce an output indication in the absence
of oxygen; therefore, there is no need for a zero standardization gas.

Integral Power Supply: For pump option 4, the differential power
requirement (+ and – 3.6 VDC) of the instrument amplifier is furnished by
two internally mounted 750 milliampere•hour NiCad batteries. Fully
charged, these batteries will provide enough power to operate the instrument
continuously for a period of about 45 days with the pump option OFF. With
the pump option ON, the batteries will provide continuous operation for
about 8 hours. With the pump option OFF, an overnight charge of 14–16
hours on a one-month duty cycle should keep the original batteries supplied
usable for many years. With the pump option ON, charge 14–16 hours on
an 8-hour duty cycle.

An integral charging circuit and a detachable power cord are provided
so that the batteries may be recharged from any 50 or 60 cycle, 105 to 125
volt (90 to 110 volt optional), outlet.

2

Teledyne Analytical Instruments

Portable Trace Oxygen Analyzer TURBO

The instrument is designed to either sample or have its batteries re­charged. Both operations cannot be carried out simultaneously. TAI has
deliberately interlocked the circuitry so that both operations cannot be carried
out at the same time.

Only when the selector switch is placed in the OFF position will the
neon lamp on the back plate of the Model TURBO

light up to indicate

2

power to the battery charging circuit.

To determine the state of the rechargeable batteries, turn the Range
Selector Switch counterclockwise to the battery test position and hold there
(the switch is spring loaded). Watch the meter indicator: if it does not stay
within the battery limits, the batteries need to be recharged. Release the
Range Selector Switch and it will automatically return to the OFF position.

2

Accuracy and Response: The Model TURBO

provides monitoring

2

accuracies of ±2% of full scale or ±5 PPM, whichever is greater, at constant
temperature. A ±5% of reading accuracy is achievable throughout the operat­ing temperature range of 30 to 125° F.

With a sample flowrate of 150 cc/min., 90% response is achieved in 5–
10 seconds in the 0–10, 0–100, 0–1000, and CAL range switch positions.

Compact Packaging: The instrument is housed in 10¹/

16 " W × 7½ "

H × 6¾ " D aluminum case that is equipped with a carrying handle and foot
pads. When in use, the analyzer should be placed in an upright position on a
level surface (off-level positioning will detract from meter accuracy).

See Fig.1.

The cell block and amplifier PC board are housed inside the analyzer.
The back panel of the analyzer contains the AC power receptacle, the amber
charge light, fuse (½A: 110V; ¼A: 220V), and quick-connect fittings for
bringing the sample into and out of the sensor assembly.

Pump: The TURBO

P has an integral pump used to help draw

sample through the analyzer.

Supporting Equipment and Services

Sampling Equipment

The customer must provide a means of controlling the pressure and
flowrate of the sample gas. For positive pressure applications, TAI suggests
a simple throttle valve installed in the sample line between the sample point
and the analyzer. The flowrate should be limited to between 0.1 and 10
liters/min.

2

IMPORTANT: Use pressure regulators with a metallic diaphragm ONLY.

Regulators with organic or plastic diaphragms are permeable to oxygen
and, if used in the sampling system, will lead to high oxygen readings.

For atmospheric pressure sampling, the TURBO

P has a pump and

2

flow control valve downstream of the analyzer to draw (rather than push) the
sample through the instrument.

TAI supplies three (3) male disconnect fittings with the instrument: one
for installation of the customer’s sample line, one to be used to open the vent
fitting of the instrument, and one (equipped with a plastic tube) for drawing
air through the unit for calibration purposes.

Do not place any restriction on the line between the sample point
and the analyzer—as a partial vacuum would then be drawn on the cell.

Since the cell is a partial pressure sensitive device, any oxygen readings
taken under these conditions would be erroneous. In addition, vacuums in
excess of one-third of an atmosphere may damage the cell.

Power Service

A source of single phase, 105 to 125 VAC (90 to 110 VAC optional),
50 or 60 Hz power, capable of delivering a maximum of ¼ A of current will
be periodically required to recharge the instrument’s battery power supply.
An 8-foot, UL approved, 3-wire detachable power cord is provided with the
instrument and should be stored in a safe place when not in use. The
TURBO

can be optionally furnished with 220 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz charging

Operation

WARNING: The TURBO2 is NOT intrinsically safe and must not be used in or

brought into hazardous areas.

The TURBO2 is supplied completely assembled and ready for instant
use. The Micro-fuel Cell is in place within the manifold, and prior to ship­ment the manifold was purged with an inert gas to eliminate all but traces of
oxygen from the internal sampling system. The integral shut-off valves in the
quick disconnect sample fittings, if not disturbed, will maintain this inert
atmosphere within the manifold indefinitely. This can be demonstrated by
placing the Range Selector Switch in the 0-1000 PPM position.

2

When the range selector is moved from the OFF position, power to the
instrument circuitry is established. The meter will instantly respond to the
residual oxygen within the integral sample passages.

It is impossible to achieve a perfect seal of the internal sample system,
and what the meter is indicating is the diffusion/consumption balance point
of the internal sample system and the Micro-fuel cell.

This balance point, with a properly calibrated instrument, is always
within the limits of the 0-100 range. If the reading climbs off the limits of this
scale, a leak in the manifold assembly is indicated.

To extend cell life and minimize the time required to make the next
analysis, the instrument should always be purged with sample or an
inert gas prior to being taken out of service for standby or storage.

Calibration

The inherently constant output of the cell during its useful life precludes
a definitive calibration cycle. TAI feels that the interval between calibrations
should be dictated by your application. If the instrument is being used to
certify the oxygen content of a product for delivery, then, a calibration prior
to certification would be in order. If not, a biweekly or monthly calibration is
adequate. However, the rapid response of the S-2 cell allows more frequent
air calibrations than possible with earlier type instruments.

NOT E: Do not calibrate the instrument unless there is a trace oxygen gas

readily available for purging immediately following calibration.

To calibrate the instrument:

1) Stand the instrument upright on a level surface, and with the
Range Selector Switch in the OFF position, check the alignment
of the meter pointer with the zero mark on the scale. Use the
mirror to eliminate parallax, and adjust the screw on the face of
the meter, if necessary, until the pointer and zero mark are in
precise coincidence.

2) Move the Range Selector Switch to the CAL position.

3) Install the plastic tube equipped male disconnect fitting in either
of the analyzer’s sample ports, and a blank disconnect fitting in
the other port (direction of sample flow is of no importance). A
pump is recommended on the plastic tube. Pump the tube until
the meter reading is stable.

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRAW SAMPLE THROUGH THE ANALYZER

ORALLY.
The sensor electrolyte is caustic. Do not let it come in contact with
skin. If it does, immediately flush affected area with water. Con­sult the Emergency First Aid procedures in the Material Safety
Data Sheet at the end of the manual. Do not attempt to open or
repair the sensor. Leaking or exhausted sensors should be dis­posed of in accordance with local regulations. Consult the Mate­rial Safety Data Sheet at the end of the manual.

4) Unlock and adjust the SPAN potentiometer until the meter
pointer is in coincidence with the CAL mark on the meter scale.
Be sure to relock the control after the adjustment is made.

5) Immediately after step 4, disconnect the tubing-equipped
calibration fitting, and plug in either the sample or a source of
inert gas.

8

Teledyne Analytical Instruments

Portable Trace Oxygen Analyzer TURBO

If the instrument is to be used for sampling after the calibration proce­dure has been completed, follow the decreasing oxygen reading by position­ing the Range Selector Switch so that the meter gives the best possible
resolution of the oxygen. Do not attempt to actually take a reading until

the meter indication stabilizes.

If, on the other hand, the instrument is not to be used immediately after
calibration, and a low PPM oxygen gas is being employed as a purge, allow
the manifold to be purged overnight, and then disconnect both male fittings.

Always disconnect the source fitting first and then the vent fitting
immediately after.

Positive Pressure Sampling

When connecting the instrument to a positive pressure sample source,
always proceed as follows:

2

1) Before making any connections to the instrument, establish a
flowrate in the sample line of from 0.1 to 10 liters/min. Allow the
sample to vent to atmosphere long enough to purge the line free
of air.

2) Install the vent fitting first, and then the sample source fitting. Be
prepared to make the connections in rapid order, so that
atmospheric diffusion time through the vent fitting is held to a
minimum.

When disconnecting the instrument, reverse the procedure: source

fitting first, and then vent fitting.

The objective of the connection–disconnection procedure is to obviate
the possibility of pressurizing the manifold. If a flowing sample is connected
to the manifold without the vent fitting in place, the pressure in the manifold
will rise and equal the sample pressure immediately, possibly causing a
manifold leak.

Atmospheric Pressure Sampling

The TURBO

P is equipped with a sample pump and flowmeter to

draw sample through the analyzer in the case of sample at atmospheric or
slightly less than atmospheric pressure.

The pump power switch is located on the back panel of the analyzer.
During calibration and normal operation, set the flowmeter to midrange, and
turn the pump on during step 3 of the calibration procedure.

Maintenance

Recharging the Battery

TAI suggests that an overnight recharge be performed every 4 weeks of

continuous use. To recharge the batteries:

1. Move the Range Selector Switch to OFF and connect the power
cord to a convenience outlet. The amber charge lamp (back of
case) will light during charging. The integral charging circuit will
automatically energize and regulate the battery charging current
when the Range Selector Switch is in the OFF position and the
AC cord is plugged into the power line.

2

CAUTION: Do not turn the Range Selector Switch to either BATT TEST or any

of the operating range positions while the unit is connected to AC
power. Doing so may cause failure of the integrated circuit.

2. When recharging is completed, unplug the unit from the AC
outlet. Turn the Range Selector Switch to the operating position
and then to the BATT TEST position. Meter reads 60%-80% fs.

NOT E : The BATT TEST position will not give a reliable indication of the

battery charge immediately after a charge cycle. Allow the unit to run
for a while before testing the batteries.

If the instrument is stored with the Range Selector Switch in the OFF
position (charge cord disconnected), the period of time between charge
periods is extended from one month to four months. However, do not leave
it longer than this time period.

Routine Maintenance

Beyond adhering to a battery recharge schedule, no routine mainte­nance is required, as there are no moving parts in the instrument other than
the meter movement. The Micro-fuel Cell is a sealed, modular component
that should be replaced only when expired or faulty.

Cell Replacement

The characteristics of the Micro-fuel Cell are similar to those of a
mercury battery in that both provide an almost constant output through their
useful life, and then fall off sharply towards zero at the end. If the sample
being analyzed has a low oxygen concentration, cell failure will probably be
indicated by the inability to properly calibrate the analyzer. You will find that
very little adjustment of the SPAN potentiometer will be required to keep the
analyzer calibrated properly during the duration of a given cell’s useful life.
If many turn adjustments clockwise are required to calibrate the instrument,
or calibration cannot be achieved within the range of the control, the cell
should be replaced.

To offset the possibility of not having a replacement cell available when
it is needed, TAI recommends that a spare cell be purchased shortly after the
instrument is placed in service, and each time the cell is replaced thereafter.

The spare cell should be carefully stored in an area that is not subject to
large variations in ambient temperature (75°F nominal), and in such a way as
to obviate any possibility of incurring damage. Do not open the cell pack-
age until the cell is to be actually used. If the cell package is punctured and
air permitted to enter, the cell will immediately start to react to the presence
of oxygen.

To replace the Micro-fuel Cell:

1. Loosen the 2 screws (designated by arrows) on the back panel
(see outline dwg. C-45254 or C-57975).

See Figure 2.

2. Remove the screw located on each side of the top cover and
gently slide the cover up and off.

3. Remove the 3 wing nuts on top of the cell block and remove the
cell cap. Carefully remove the old cell from the cell cap and
dispose of it in accordance with local regulations (see the
Material Safety Data Sheet at the end of the manual).

See Figure 3.

12

Teledyne Analytical Instruments

Portable Trace Oxygen Analyzer TURBO

4. Remove the new cell from its package, and carefully remove the
shorting wire. Do not touch the silver/gold colored sensing
surface of the cell as it is covered with a delicate Teflon
membrane that can be ruptured in handling.

5. The cell has three pins that fit into the cap one way only. Slide
the pins into the cell cap.

6. Replace the cell cap and cover.

7. After the cell has been installed, purge the instrument with an
inert gas (or the sample), and then proceed as directed in the
calibration procedure.

Cell Warranty

2

The Class S-2 cell used in the Model TURBO

is warranted for 6

2

months of service from date of shipment.

The Model TURBO

should not be used in applications where CO2 is

2

a major component in the sample. Concentrations of 1,000 PPM or less will
not effect cell performance.

If a cell was working satisfactorily, but ceases to function before the
warranty period expires, the customer will receive credit, on a prorated basis,
toward the purchase of a new cell.

Customer having warranty claims must return the cell in question to the
factory for evaluation. If it is determined that failure is due to faulty work­manship or material, the cell will be replaced at no cost to the customer.

CAUTION: Evidence of damage due to tampering or mishandling will render

the cell warranty null and void.

Transduction and Temperature Compensation

The Micro-fuel Cell used in the TURBO

has an inherent positive

2

temperature coefficient, the effects of which have been minimized through
the implementation of a thermistor compensation circuit.
