Scrubber Maintenance; Troubleshooting - Teledyne 3060E Instruction Manual

Ultra trace oxygen analyzer

Model 3060E

NOTE: When replacing electrolyte, the rate of sparging should be in-

creased to facilitate the removal of dissolved oxygen from the

electrolyte. Once the oxygen level falls below 100 PPB, the sparge

rate should be reduced to a minimum.

9. Calibrate the analyzer using either the Faradaic calibrator or a

certified span gas.

10. When the signal output drops to a very low level, adjust the zero to

offset the background signal.

11. Return to the Analyze mode to resume sample gas analysis.

Scrubber Maintenance

The oxygen scrubber is a replaceable (P/N C58750) or rechargeable compo-

nent. With normal use, the scrubber usually lasts for several years. The scrubber

is designed specifically for the Model 3060E. If oxygen readings drift or the

analyzer will not zero, the scrubber may need replacing or recharging. Contact

the factory for recharging the scrubber.

NOTE: When the scrubber has deteriorated, it does not remove oxygen

from the sample gas. Attempting to scrub oxygen down to the single

digit PPB level with a spent scrubber may actually increase the

oxygen content in the sample gas.

To troubleshoot the analyzer, identify the problem in the following list and then

follow the procedures to correct the problem. If you cannot identify the

problem, or if you cannot resolve the problem after following the corrective

procedure, call a service representative.
