Quality assurance • Gas analysis certification. Main Features of the Analyzer The Model 3020T Trace Oxygen Analyzer is sophisticated yet simple to use. The main features of the analyzer include: • A 2-line alphanumeric display screen, driven by microprocessor electronics, that continuously prompts and informs the operator.
In addition to all standard features, this model also has separate ports for zero and span gases, and built-in control valves. The internal valves are entirely under the control of the 3020T electronics, to automatically switch between gases in synchronization with the analyzer’s operations 3020T-F: Flame arrestors for Groups C and D installed.
Trace Oxygen Analyzer Introduction 1 Operator Interface All controls and displays on the standard 3020T are accessible from outside the housing. The instrument has two simple operator controls. A digital meter, an alphanumeric display, and a sample flowmeter give the operator constant feedback from the instrument.

Micro-Fuel Cell Sensor 2.2.1 Principles of Operation The oxygen sensor used in the Model 3020T series is a Micro-Fuel Cell designed and manufactured by Analytical Instruments. It is a sealed plastic disposable electrochemical transducer. The active components of the Micro-Fuel Cell are a cathode, an anode, and the 15% aqueous KOH electrolyte in which they are immersed.

Depending on the mode of operation either sample or calibration gas is delivered. The Model 3020T sample system is designed and fabricated to ensure that the oxygen concentration of the gas is not altered as it travels through the sample system.
–C and/or F options are ordered. The valves, when supplied, are installed inside the 3020T enclosure and are regulated by the instruments internal electronics. The flame arrestors, when supplied, are installed in the Gas Connector Panel.

(See Remote Calibration Protocol below.) Remote Calibration Protocol: To properly time the Digital Remote Cal Inputs to the Model 3020T Analyzer, the customer's controller must monitor the CAL CONTACT relay. When the contact is OPEN, the analyzer is analyzing, the Remote Cal Inputs are being polled, and a zero or span command can be sent.
If you have the –C Internal valve option—which includes additional zero and span gas inputs— the 3020T automatically regulates the zero, span and sample gas flow. 3.3.6 Range ID Relays There are four dedicated RANGE ID CONTACT relays.

To have a replacement cell available when it is needed, it is recom- mended that one spare cell be purchased 9-10 months after commissioning the 3020T, or shortly before the end of the cell's one year warranty period. CAUTION: Do not stockpile cells. The warranty period starts on the day of shipment.

( off scale of flow-meter), pressure drops other than the restriction device could become significant , and result in pressurizing the cell. Example 2, A 3020T is configured for vacuum service as follows. The un-marked restrictor is placed in the sample vent port. The down stream end of the restrictor is then connected to a vacuum pump and by-pass valve.
Page 73
Operation without a restrictor device is not recommend as mentioned above. A 3020T without any flow restrictor device was tested on 11-19-97. This results in a flow rate of 2.4 SLPM @ 1 PSIG. This is a cv of 0.023 for the standard sample sys.
