The Teledyne Analytical Instruments Insta Trans-XD Oxygen Digital Transmitter is a versatile instrument for measuring the oxygen content in a gas sample. This manual covers the Insta Trans-XD Oxygen Digital Transmitter for both the ATEX and FM certified instruments. These units are rated Intrinsically Safe (IS) when installed per the...
True 2-wire 4-20 mA powered loop interface. 1.4 Operator Interface The standard Insta Trans-XD is housed in a rugged metal case with all switches and the display accessible from the outside. Figure 1-1 illustrates the Insta Trans-XD display and switches.
2.2 Oxygen Sensor 2.2.1 Principles of Operation The oxygen sensor used in the Insta Trans-XD series is a micro- fuel cell designed and manufactured by Teledyne Analytical Instruments. It is a sealed plastic disposable electrochemical transducer.
Operational Theory Insta Trans-XD 2.2.2 Anatomy of a Micro-fuel Cell The Micro-fuel Cell is a cylinder only 1¼ inch in diameter with a length dependent on the particular cell. It is made of an extremely inert plastic, which can be placed confidently in practically any environment or sample stream.
When the oxygen is reduced at the cathode, lead is simultaneously oxidized at the anode by the following HALF REACTION: O + 2e – – → Pb Pb + 2OH (anode) Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Operational Theory Insta Trans-XD (Two electrons are transferred for each atom of lead that is oxidized. Therefore it takes two of the above anode reactions to balance one cathode reaction and transfer four electrons.) The electrons released at the surface of the anode flow to the cathode surface when an external electrical path is provided.
Figure 2-3. Measuring circuits do not have to compensate for nonlinearities. In addition, since there is zero output in the absence oxygen, the characteristic curve has close to an absolute zero (within ± 0.5 ppm oxygen). Figure 2-3: Characteristic Input/output Curve for a Micro-fuel Cell Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Depending on the mode of operation either sample or calibration gas is delivered. The Insta Trans-XD is designed and fabricated to ensure that the oxygen concentration of the gas is not altered as it travels through the internal piping. The sample encounters almost no dead space. This minimizes residual gas pockets that can interfere with trace analysis.
Oxygen Transmitter Operational Theory 2.4 Electronics and Signal Processing The Insta Trans-XD Oxygen Transmitter uses standard electronic circuitry. Power is supplied via the 4-20 mA current loop. The processing electronics are located inside the transmitter housing. The single PC board shown in Figure 2-5 is accessible after removing the front cover of the housing.
Range selection and calibration information are entered from the keypad and processed by the microcontroller. All power needed to run the Insta Trans-XD transmitter is derived from the signal current loop. Range and calibration settings are maintained indefinitely when the signal current loop is disconnected.
Immediately report any damage to the shipping agent. 3.2 Mounting the Transmitter The Insta Trans-XD transmitter is provided with a wall mount bracket. Refer to Figure 3-1 and the Outline Drawing in the Appendix for mounting information and dimensions. The display and operator control switches are located on the top of the transmitter.
(This may require an additional 1/8 turn beyond finger-tight.) 2. Hold the fitting body steady with a backup wrench, and with another wrench rotate the nut another 1-1/4 turns. Figure 3-1: Insta Trans-XD Connections and Mounting Dimensions SAMPLE IN: Gas connections are made at the GAS GAS OUT connections.
(3/8") to the left side mounting bolt. The signal and power are supplied by a single 4-pin electrical connector on the left side of the analyzer. The Insta Trans-XD is supplied with a twenty-four inch cable which mates with the power/signal connector.
(9.3V + (5.1 + 250) ohms x 20ma). For Intrinsically Safe (IS) installation, special considerations are required. The Insta Trans-XD analyzer has been designed to be Intrinsically Safe when used with a properly selected and installed safety barrier. This design utilizes redundant safety features to prevent the Insta Trans-XD from becoming an ignition source in the event of a circuit failure.
Note: The transmitter can display a 99.9% over range condition, so select a range where the left-most digit is blank. 3. The unit will time out if another button is not pressed after a few seconds and return to Run mode. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
IN THE EVENT OF LOSS OF FLOW THROUGH THE TRANSMITTER, IF THE VENT IS VENTED TO A LOCATION OF HIGH OXYGEN CONTENT, OXYGEN WILL BACK DIFFUSE THROUGH THE VENT LINE AND IN MOST CASES QUICKLY SATURATE THE CELL WITH OXYGEN. THIS MAY THEN REQUIRE A Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
2. Install a shut off valve on the vent port of the transmitter or somewhere within the users sample system. 4.3 Range Setting The Insta Trans-XD Transmitter can be set to any range from 0-10 ppm to 0-25 percent. The 0-10 ppm range is limited to instruments with trace sensors installed.
(See Section 4.3), the 4-20 mA signal output will need to be calibrated. This is accomplished by attaching a DVM in current mode (mA) in series with the power input cable. When the Insta Trans-XD is placed in 4-20 mA Calibration mode, the output will display on the...
2. Power OFF the Insta Trans-XD. 3. While pressing and holding the escape (ESC) key, power the unit back ON. This will place the Insta Trans-XD in 4-20 mA Calibration mode and the display will blink while showing the character “L” at the rightmost position of the display referring to the low end of the 4-20 range i.e.
To disable the feature, press and hold the UP key button for 10 seconds. The display will show a bottom LCD segment bar flash on the rightmost side of the display, for example “00.0_” and then “00.0 ”. See Figure 4-2. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
To perform a cold boot: 1. Power OFF the Insta Trans-XD 2. While simultaneously pressing and holding the ENT and UP keys, power the system back ON. The Insta Trans-XD will proceed through the normal startup sequence as described in Teledyne Analytical Instruments...

SPECIFIC CELL USED IN THIS INSTRUMENT. SEE APPENDIX FOR TELEDYNE PART NUMBER. 5.2.1 Storing and Handling Replacement Cells To have a replacement sensor available when it is needed, TAI recommends that one spare cell be purchased a few months after Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
The characteristics of the sensor which is a micro-fuel cell, show an almost constant output throughout its useful life and then falls off sharply towards zero at the end. Cell failure in the Insta Trans-XD is usually characterized by the inability to span or excessive offset when used on low ppm ranges.
With regard to spare cells, warranty period begins on the date of shipment. The customer should purchase only one spare cell (per section 5.2.1). Do not attempt to stockpile spare cells. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Maintenance Insta Trans-XD The B1, B2C, Insta-Trace, and L2C cells are not designed for applications where CO is a major component in the sample, however intermittent concentrations of 1,000 pm or less will not adversely affect the cell performance. Consult TAI for available options for either intermittent or continuous CO exposure.
The Insta-Trace option includes the Insta-Trace Sensor and a special Insta-Trace cell holder (the B2 cell adapter is not used). Any Insta Trans-XD can be converted to an Insta-Trace by substituting the sensor and cell holder (see Spare Parts Listing in the Appendix).
