  • Page 15: Introduction

    Introduction Introduction 1.1 Overview The Teledyne Analytical Instruments (TAI) Model 3190 is a microprocessor-based trace oxygen analyzer for real-time measurement of trace amounts of oxygen in inert gases, or in a wide variety of gas mixtures. It features simple operation, fast response, and a compact, rugged construction.
  • Page 16: Front Panel Description

    Introduction Model 3190 • Two concentration alarms with adjustable setpoints. • Sensor failure alarm. • RS-232 serial digital port for output of concentration and range data to a computer, terminal, or other digital device. • Three analog outputs: two for measurement (0-10 V dc, and negative ground 4-20 mA dc) and one for range identification (0-10 V dc).
  • Page 17: Rear Panel Description

    2.2 Micro-fuel Cell Sensor 2.2.1 Principles of Operation The oxygen sensor used in the Model 3190 is a micro-fuel cell designed and manufactured by TAI. It is a sealed, disposable electrochemical transducer.
  • Page 22: Anatomy Of A Micro-Fuel Cell

    Operational Theory Model 3190 There is, however, an important difference in the operation of a battery as compared to the micro-fuel cell: In the battery, all reactants are stored within the cell, whereas in the micro-fuel cell, one of the reactants (oxygen) comes from outside the device as a constituent of the sample gas being analyzed.
  • Page 23: Electrochemical Reactions

    The sample gas diffuses through the Teflon membrane. Any oxygen in the sample gas is reduced on the surface of the cathode by the following HALF REACTION: → 4OH + 2H O + 4e (cathode) – – Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
  • Page 24: The Effect Of Pressure

    The sensing technology deployed in the Model 3190 is an electrochemical oxygen sensor which is a partial pressure device. Any changes in the vent pressure of the unit will affect the pressure of the sample the sensor sees.
  • Page 25: Calibration Characteristics

    As the cell reaches the end of its useful life, the slope seen in Figure 2-3 decreases. In the Model 3190, the slope is monitored. If the inverse of the slope: Span Value (ppm) / Cell Output in nano amps (nA, 1x10...
  • Page 26 Operational Theory Model 3190 is over 4.447 ppm/nA, a sensor failure alarm is triggered, indicating that the cell should be replaced. Figure 2-3.

  • Page 28 Operational Theory Model 3190 In the presence of oxygen the cell generates a current. A current to voltage amplifier (I–E AMPL) converts this current to a voltage. The second stage amplifier (TEMP COMP) supplies temperature compensation for the oxygen sensor output. The temperature compensation amplifier incorporates a thermistor (THERM) that is physically located in the cell block.

    5. Testing the installation. CAUTION: Read this chapter in its entirety before installing the units. The Model 3190 is for indoor use only. The Sample must be free of entrained solids or water. However, a high humidity sample is ideal, since it will prevent water loss from the cell electrolyte.
  • Page 30: Location And Mounting

    3.2 Location and Mounting 3.2.1 Control Unit Installation The 3190 control unit is designed to be panel-mounted in a general purpose, indoor area, away from moisture and the elements. The unit should be installed at viewing level in a sheltered area.
  • Page 31: Installing The Micro-Fuel Cell/Cell Block Orientation

    The reason for proper Installation/Replacement is, if any bubble that develops as the electrolyte dries out will be directed by gravity away from the membrane. To install or replace the micro-fuel cell, follow the procedures in Chapter 5, Maintenance. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...

    Installation Model 3190 3.3 Electrical Connections Figure 3-2 shows the two alternate Model 3190 rear panels. The first illustration shows the AC powered version, and the second illustration shows the DC powered version. The difference between them is the power connections. Both versions have identical connections for the external probe, the alarms, and for both digital and analog concentration outputs.

    See Figure 3-3. The outputs are: 0–10 V Concentration: Voltage rises with increasing oxygen concentration, from 0 V at 0 percent oxygen to 10 V at full scale percent oxygen. (Full scale = 100% of programmed range.) Teledyne Analytical Instruments...

    Figure 3-3: Contact ID for FAILSAFE Relay Operation RS-232 Port: The digital signal output RS-232 port (not shown in Figure 3-2) is offered as a cost added option on the Model 3190. It is a standard RS-232 serial communications port used to connect the analyzer to a modem or other digital device.
  • Page 36: Gas Connections

    Gas connection instructions depend on the specific external probe used and any special requirements of the process being monitored. The standard Model 3190 External Probe has inlet and outlet fixtures only. Calibration gases must be tee’d into the sample inlet through appropriate valves.
  • Page 37: Operation

    Analyzing for the trace oxygen level in the gas passing through the cell block is the default mode of operation. As long as no front panel buttons are being pressed the analyzer is analyzing. Figure 4-1: Front Panel Controls and Indicators Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
  • Page 38: Using The Function And Data Entry Buttons

    Operation Model 3190 4.2 Using the Function and Data Entry Buttons When no buttons on the analyzer are being pressed, the instrument is in the Analyze mode. It is monitoring the percent of oxygen in the sample gas that is flowing through the remote probe.
  • Page 39: Hi Range

    4.3.3 Settle Mode The Model 3190 has two programmable ranges as discussed previous. Occasionally, to maximize accuracy the microprocessor must make certain adjustments to the gain of the amplifier which converts the sensor current into a voltage.
  • Page 40: Hi Alarm

    4.5 Selecting a Fixed Range or Auto-ranging The Model 3190 can operate in fixed high, fixed low, or auto ranging mode. To change modes: 1. Press and then release the SET HI RANGE and the SET LO RANGE buttons simultaneously.

    10,000 ppm (1%) oxygen. If the output of the sensor as measured by the 3190 is outside of the expected range because of: a. Bad electrical connection between the unit and the sensor, b.
  • Page 42: Displaying Percent & Ppm On The Led Display

    Flowing “zero” gas to the sensor is not needed for this instrument adjustment. It is only an electronic zero calibration. The sensor is automatically disconnected by the 3190 hardware during this mode. As soon as the countdown reaches 0.00, the analyzer will go back to the normal mode of operation and the sensor is reconnected.
  • Page 43: Maintenance

    Maintenance Maintenance Aside from normal cleaning and checking for leaks at the gas connections, the Model 3190 should not require any maintenance beyond replacement of expended micro-fuel cells, and perhaps a blown fuse. Routine maintenance includes occasional recalibration, as described in Chapter 4, Operation.
  • Page 44: Dc Powered Units

    There are several symptoms that may indicate sensor weakness other than the sensor failure alarm. • Cell failure in the 3190 is usually characterized very slow response to changes in oxygen levels below 100 ppm. This can cause errors in span calibration, since the sensor may not have time to settle properly.
  • Page 45: Ordering And Handling Of Spare Sensors

    If the cell package is punctured and air is permitted to enter, cell-life will be compromised. WARNING: THE SENSOR USED IN THE MODEL 3190 USES ELECTROLYTES WHICH CONTAIN SUBSTANCES THAT ARE EXTREMELY HARMFUL IF TOUCHED, SWALLOWED, OR INHALED. AVOID CONTACT WITH ANY FLUID OR POWDER IN OR AROUND THE UNIT.
