PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION OF THIS EQUIPMENT ARE UNDERSTOOD BY THE USER. SINCE THE USE OF THIS INSTRUMENT IS BEYOND THE CONTROL OF TELEDYNE, NO RESPONSIBILITY BY TELEDYNE, ITS AFFILIATES AND AGENTS FOR DAMAGE OR INJURY RESULTING FROM MISUSE OR NEGLECT OF THIS INSTRUMENT IS IMPLIED OR ASSUMED.
Analyzer is a versatile instrument designed to measure the quantity of hydrocarbons present in a positive pressure sample as equivalent methane. The Model 4020 is a microprocessor controlled digital instrument based on Teledyne’s highly successful Model 402R series analog Total Hydrocarbon Analyzer. This instrument includes special modifications for automatic switching between sample gas in two different background gases.
These special considerations, if applicable, will be described in detail on specific application pages as Addenda to this manual. When the Model 4020 is a part of a larger system, it is subordinate to that system, and specific installation and operation conditions of that system will apply.
An RS-232 port is also available at the rear panel for connection to a remote computer or other digital communication device. The Model 4020 is set up for either 120 VAC 60 Hz or 230 50/60 Hz operation depending on the customer’s requirements.
When installed, it is part of the isothermal chamber. The bypass flow is also controlled from this optional panel. The software in the Model 4020 allows the system to be used for analyzing a sample gas in two different backgrounds, O...
Note: The user must supply the necessary valves and any associated switching equipment for delivering the correct sample/background gas combination to the analyzer. This special 4020 Analyzer includes the ability to automatically select between two background gases (N and O ).

Operational Theory Model 4020 The anode-igniter, as its name implies, serves two functions. When relay K2 at PCB part number B74671 is energized, the coil becomes an electrical heating element that glows red-hot and ignites the hydrogen fuel. When relay K2 at B74671 is de-energized, the coil is connected to the +260 volt DC terminal of the anode-flame guard power supply PC board.
High voltage regulation is achieved through the use of series-connected zener diodes. The simplicity of this circuit’s design can be attributed to the extremely low current demand of the anode circuit. The positive output voltage is Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Operational Theory Model 4020 nominally 125 volts. Output tolerance is ±10 volts from the specified 125 volts. 2.3.3 Flame Guard Circuit A thermistor-controlled, transistorized switching circuit is employed to operate a relay in the event of a flame-out condition. A panel indicator light and fuel shut-off solenoid valve are operated by the relay to alarm personnel that a flame-out condition has occurred.
3.2 Mounting the Analyzer The Model 4020 is a general-purpose analyzer and as such is designed with (non-sealed) enclosures. It must be installed in an area where the ambient temperature is not permitted to drop below 32ºF nor rise above 100ºF.
Installation Model 4020 Note: To completely slide the analyzer out of the enclosure, pull analyzer out until it stops, then push down on the release levers found almost at the end of the sliders, both sides at the same time.

CAUTION: MANY OF THE ELECTRICAL PARTS WITHIN THE MODEL 4020 ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DAMAGE FROM ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD). USE ESD SAFE PROCEDURES WHEN HANDLING OR WORKING WITH ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS If the analyzer is suspected of incorrect operation, always evaluate performance with zero or span gas flowing in the sample path.
Maintenance Model 4020 attempt to evaluate performance on sample gas. If analyzer sensitivity is questionable, use the span gas. For all other evaluations, use the zero gas and low range for maximum sensitivity. The important consideration is to control as many variables as possible. Using cylinder-supplied gases of known hydrocarbon content eliminates the possibility of introducing an unknown variable.
