This allows for flexibility when moving or turning the instrument for service and routine maintenance. 7. Situate the ta3000F in such a way that there is always access to the rear panel for easy hook up of the gases, as well as ease of service components. -
Page 24: Regulators And Plumbing
UPS will supply power instantly from batteries when the main power is interrupted. Proper power will be supplied for minutes or hours depend- ing upon the size of the battery. Since the ta3000F needs less than 5A of current, the UPS battery pack can be relatively small. -
Page 25: Damage Prevention
Guidelines for prevention of damage PLEASE STUDY THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY BEFORE IN- STALLING OR OPERATING THE INSTRUMENT. CAUTION Carrier gas Detectors can be permanently damaged if operated at temperature with- out flow. The carrier gas should remain flowing until all heated zones are below 50o C (2 to 3 hours). -
Page 26: Installation Instructions
The ta3000 analyzer can be used for process or single gas sample analysis. On-line process sample line should be connected to the “SAMPLE IN” 1/16 “ VICI fitting on the rear panel. Optimal results are achieved with constant flow rates (20-100 sccm). 26 | Model ta3000F Gas Purity Monitor... -
Page 27: View Of Gas And Power Connections
Connect FID Air FID Air quality can dramatically affect instrument performance. The ta3000F analyzer requires “Purified” dry air for FID oxidizer gas. See gas specifications for FID Air in Section 6.0, Specifications for details. The instrument connection is made at the “FID AIR” 1/16” VICI port on rear panel. -

ERROR MESSAGES Error Messages Error Messages are viewed and acknowledged on the System Settings screen. When the Status LED on the front panel is red this indicates that there are system errors or the status of the analyzer has changed. The System Status page displays error messages that the system has encoun- tered. - Page 46 The most common system paramaters that are changed are the response factor due to performing a calibration run. This fault can only be updated during warmup or Idle. (See Saving Changes into Non-Volatile RAM in the Run Section of this manual, page 36). 46 | Model ta3000F Gas Purity Monitor...
