Thermal Conductivity Analyzer
All electrical interconnections are made to the terminal strips on the
mother board; this board also contains an unusual feature — a series of
regularly-spaced holes in a rectangular pattern, known as a "kludge" space,
is set aside for the installation of circuitry for special customer requirements.
1.2
Several options are available as convenient plug-in circuit boards;
although these may not all be present in the specific instrument under
consideration, a brief description of some of the more common ones is
offered below, and noted as (optional); PC boards which are not noted as
(optional) are standard features.
1.2.1
This circuit contains an IC regulator that holds the voltage through the
cell to 4.5 V. It also contains a 2-stage IC amplifier, with range resistors.
1.2.2
15 Volts, regulated (for electronic amplifiers, etc.), and +24 volts, non-
regulated (for alarm and relay circuitry and certain other functional uses) are
supplied by this circuit.
1.2.3
The comparator alarm circuit is available in single or dual configura-
tions, which can be supplied as high or low alarms, energized above or
below setpoint; adjustment of each alarm setpoint is made using a potenti-
ometer provided on the instrument's front panel. Power failure or "fail-safe"
alarming can also be provided. Refer to the specifications covering one
individual analyzer for details regarding specific alarm or other optional
provisions.
