  • Page 11: Overview

    OVERVIEW Model ta Gas Purity Monitor Introduction The ta7000R Process Gas Analyzer is a trace level gas chromatograph ca- pable of detecting sub-ppb concentrations of contaminants in sample gas matrices. The system consists of a microprocessor controlled gas chro- matograph utilizing the Unique Reduction Gas Detector (RGD) designed by Trace Analytical.
  • Page 12: Reduction Gas Detection

    External signal outputs for a data collection system or host computer are located at the rear panel. The microprocessor control system allows complete unattended operation of the ta7000R. This onboard system performs necessary operational and analytical functions such as: •...
  • Page 13 • · Sampling Frequency • · Data Output • · Alarm Output Data is presented via the front display panel. Alternatively data may be obtained through an RS232 serial computer interface and HP/GL parallel printer interface located on the rear panel. With optional interface kits, two components may be assigned to separate trend channels to provide a continuous signal proportional to the con- centration of the assigned component.

    instrument from air conditioners or extreme temperature fluctuations in the room. Support gases for the instrument should be located near the ana- lyzer. A uniform temperature environment for cylinders and regulators is essential in order to keep constant pressure and flow rate. Always keep gas containers inside the building where temperature fluctuations are at a minimum.

    Since the ta7000R needs less than 5A of current, the UPS battery pack can be relatively small. Support Gas Utilities Preparations The ta7000R needs a separate actuator gas in order to run properly. Please refer to this section in the Specifications pages for detailed gas specifica- tion.

  • Page 41 In calibration mode the instrument first checks for calibration gas pres- sure. Next the instrument purges the calibration gas line for a user-preset amount of time. Finally the ta7000R performs three calibration runs. The first of these three calibrations is discarded. The second and third runs are used to generate the calibration response factor.
