The operator interface is accomplished through a series of buttons located conveniently on the front face of the instrument. The MD300 front face interface is shown in Figure 1-1. The AD300 is similar but without the battery and alarm test buttons is shown in Figure 1-2.
2000 hours in Non-alarm State. Oxygen analysis is linear across the single range of 0-100% using Teledyne’s class R17S oxygen sensor. A unique sensor failure alarm is incorporated which warns the user if the sensor signal is lost or low.
Gas analysis is accurate to within ±2% of full scale over the operating range of 0-100% at constant temperature and pressure. The following features are standard on the AD300 and MD300 instruments: Large easy to read 3 1/2 digit LCD display (see options)
RS 232 Interface Cable (P/N B-75555) 1.3 The R17S Sensor—How it works The AD300/MD300 uses Teledyne Analytical Instruments Patented R17S disposable oxygen sensor. The sensor is made up of a sensing cathode and anode (fuel) immersed in electrolyte and packaged in a small plastic container.
Teledyne Analytical Instruments. Note: This equipment is internally powered using 3 AA batteries. 2.1 Setup To set up and use your AD300 analyzer or MD300 monitor: 1. Install the sensor. 2. Install the batteries. 3. Calibrate the unit.
3. Plug the other end of the coiled cable into the receptacle located on the right side of the unit and secure it in place using the capture nut. See Figure 2-2. Figure 2-2: Sensor Cable Connection to Monitor Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Portable Oxygen Monitor Operation Note: When the AD/MD300 instrument is used for diffusion sampling the plastic flow diverter must be removed from the R17S sensor. If the sensor is used in sample mode the diverter must be used as shown in Figure 2-3.
Note: Three “AA” alkaline batteries must be installed in the unit before the monitor will operate. The unit must be recalibrated whenever new batteries are installed. For the MD300, the HI and LOW alarm set points must be reset to the desired values. To install the batteries: 1.
All keys except the CAL and ON/Off (I/O) keys are inoperable until a successful calibration is achieved. 5. (MD300 only) To test the batteries. Press the BATT TEST key once. The battery display, located below the oxygen Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
LCD display flashing 00.0. Only the CAL and ON/OFF (I/O) keys are functional at this point. On the MD300 monitor, the alarm set points will also need to be reset after calibration is completed.

Press the LOCK/UNLOCK key to save the calibration data. Note: The AD300 and MD300 can only be calibrated using 100% oxygen or room air 20.9%. Improper calibration or use of other gas concentrations will activate the SENSOR indicator.
LOCK/UNLOCK key. When pressed the display will start flashing. To set the alarms on the MD300 monitor (see Figure 2-8): 1. To set the HI alarm: Press the HI ALARM SET key once. Press the UP and DOWN arrow key until the desired value is displayed in the lower right corner of the display.
RS 232 signal is output from the output port shown in Figure 2-9. Use the optional RS 232 Interface Cable (P/N B-75555) available from Teledyne for connection to a standard RS 232 port on a computer or other suitably equipped digital device.
(0-1 VDC) output, use the same procedure except in step 3 remove the jumper from JP7 and replace it at JP3. 2.2 Use 2.2.1 Gas Sampling The AD/MD300 instruments can be used to measure the oxygen concentration in two basic modes: Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
This is the oxygen value of the sample gas. CAUTION: MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT PRESSURIZE THE SENSOR DURING CALIBRATION OR USE, AS THIS WILL PRODUCE ERRORS IN THE READINGS. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
The LOCK/UNLOCK key acts as a toggle, pressing LOCK/UNLOCK once renders inactive all keys except the ALARM SILENCE () and BATT TEST (MD300 only) keys. Pressing LOCK/UNLOCK a second time unlocks the keypad.
This is way it is important to calibrate the AD/MD300 oxygen sensor at regular intervals. It is recommended that the unit be calibrated prior to each use or every 8 hours.
2.3.4 Discrepancy in Readings When a discrepancy in oxygen readings is suspected, the oxygen analyzer readings should be verified by checking the AD/MD300 battery condition and calibration using 100% oxygen. If the monitor can be calibrated, the unit can be assumed to be in good working order and capable of providing readings to specification.
Remove and save the plastic flow diverter when using the sensor in non-flowing applications. (MD300 only) Perform an alarm test before each use (press the ALARM TEST key). – DON’T – Use this monitor if you suspect any malfunction.

Pass hot or cold gas mixtures over the sensor. Adjust the reading in air after 100% calibration Use cleaning agents or liquids in the cable receptacles or around the battery compartment. Store the unit in hot or humid environment. Expose the LCD to excessive sunlight. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Service Manual Service Manual 3.1 General Service Information The Teledyne Model AD300 and MD300 series of portable oxygen monitors are designed to be robust yet compact in size. In order to achieve maximum reliability in a microprocessor-based instrument, a single PC board is used which relies exclusively on surface mount technology.
Make sure the connections are tight and dry. In the event that the sensor has been damaged, consult the Material Safety Data Sheet available from the factory or online at www.teledyne- ai.com for handling guidelines. 3.5 Gas Sampling 3.5.1 Discrepancy in Readings...
3.6 Troubleshooting The AD300 and MD300 oxygen monitors provide a variety of built-in safety features that prevent its use when a fault is detected. When a unit displays the message √ SENSOR and sounds the audible and visual alarm continuously, it is an indication of a faulty connection between the sensor and the unit or an expired or faulty sensor.
