    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.
  • Page 11: Features

    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)

    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...
  • Page 15: Mounting

    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.
  • Page 16: Universal Mounting Clamp Installation

    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.

    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.
  • Page 26: Discrepancy In Readings

    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.
  • Page 27: Do's And Don'ts

    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.
  • Page 28 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...
