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.
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: •...

• · 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.

The printer port follows standard parallel printer protocols. The analyz- ers are compatable with Hewlett Packard printers model numbers HP-6xx, HP-7xx, and HP-8xx. Trace Analytical recommends using one of these suggested models. Parallel Printer Port LPT1 20 | Model ta7000R Gas Purity Monitor...
ANALYZER DESCRIPTION Front Panel and User Interface The front panel is where the user interface is found. The user interface is a combinationof the display screen and menu keys. The display screen shows information andoptions for running the analyzer. The Menu Keys correlate to menu labels on thedisplay screen and are used for all input to the operating system.
This could be information about the last analysis run,calibration, or options for future runs. The bottom area is the Menu Bar. The menu bar is where menu labels are displayedfor user input. 22 | Model ta7000R Gas Purity Monitor...

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.

Making Gas Connections Prepare for Gas Connections Remove the red plastic shipping cap from the Hg vapor trap (scrubber). Remove any 1/16” or 1/8” VICI plugs and 1/4” VCR cap from the rear panel. 28 | Model ta7000R Gas Purity Monitor...
Remove all other shipping caps immediately prior to connection of gas supplies. Connect Sample / Carrier Gas The analyzer uses purified sample gas as a chromatographic carrier and actuator gas. Matching the carrier gas to the sample will prevent upsets caused by the elution of the extraneous balance peak.

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.
To continue running the instrument after the Idle key has been pressed, simply press the Idle key again and the Pound will disappear and the instrument will continue to automatically run samples. 42 | Model ta7000R Gas Purity Monitor...
