This manual covers the Model 3000TB, trace oxygen, bulkhead-mount, general purpose units only. These instruments are for use in non-hazardous environments only. 1.2 Typical Applications A few typical applications of the Model 3000TB are: Monitoring inert gas blanketing Air separation and liquefaction ...
In addition to all standard features, this model also has separate ports for zero and span gases, and built-in control valves. The internal valves are entirely under the control of the 3000TB electronics, to automatically switch between gases in synchronization with the analyzer’s operations.
Trace Oxygen Analyzer Introduction 1.5 Front Panel (Operator Interface) Figure 1-1 is an illustration of the front of the Model 3000TB Oxygen Analyzer with the outer door open showing the control panel (which is also the inner door). All displays on the standard 3000TB are visible from outside the housing.
Introduction Model 3000TB 1.5.1 Displays Digital Meter Display: The meter display is a LED device that produces large, bright, 7-segment numbers that are legible in any lighting environment. It produces a continuous readout from 0-9999 ppm and from 125 %. It is accurate across all ranges without the discontinuity of analog range switching.
The electrical connector panel, shown in Figure 1-3, contains the electrical connections for external inputs and outputs. The connectors are described briefly here and in detail in the Installation chapter of this manual. CAUTION: THE POWER CABLE MUST BE DISCONNECTED TO FULLYREMOVE POWER FROM THE INSTRUMENT.

(oxygen) comes from outside the device as a constituent of the sample gas being analyzed. The Micro-Fuel Cell is therefore a hybrid between a battery and a true fuel cell. (All of the reactants are stored externally in a true fuel cell.) Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Operational Theory Model 3000TB 2.2.2 Anatomy of a Micro-Fuel Cell The Micro-Fuel Cell is a cylinder only 11/4 inches in diameter and 11/4 inches thick. It is made of an extremely inert plastic, which can be placed confidently in practically any environment or sample stream. It is effectively sealed, although one end is permeable to oxygen in the sample gas.
The electrons released at the surface of the anode flow to the cathode surface when an external electrical path is provided. The current is proportional to the amount of oxygen reaching the cathode. It is measured and used to determine the oxygen concentration in the gas mixture. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Operational Theory Model 3000TB The overall reaction for the fuel cell is the SUM of the half reactions above, or: 2Pb + O →2PbO (These reactions will hold as long as no gaseous components capable of oxidizing lead—such as iodine, bromine, chlorine and fluorine—are present in the sample.)
Depending on the mode of operation either sample or calibration gas is delivered. The Model 3000TB sample system is designed and fabricated to ensure that the oxygen concentration of the gas is not altered as it travels through the sample system.
Sample In port by teeing to the port with appropriate valves. The shaded portion of the diagram shows the components added when the –C option is ordered. The valves, when supplied, are installed inside the 3000TB enclosure and are regulated by the instruments internal electronics. Figure 2-4: Flow Diagram 2.4 Electronics and Signal Processing...

Operational Theory Model 3000TB In the presence of oxygen the cell generates a current. A current to voltage amplifier converts this current to a voltage, which is amplified in the second stage amplifier. The second stage amplifier also supplies temperature compensation for the oxygen sensor output.
For gas connections, the unit is supplied with 1/8" tube fittings, and three millimeter adapters are supplied for metric system installations. Figure 3-1 shows the Mode3l 3000TB in front view with the front door closed. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...

There are terminal blocks for connecting power, communications, and both digital and analog concentration outputs. Figure 3-3: Electrical Connector Panel...
Installation Model 3000TB For safe connections, ensure that no uninsulated wire extends outside of the connectors they are attached to. Stripped wire ends must insert completely into terminal blocks. No uninsulated wiring should be able to come in contact with fingers, tools or clothing during normal operation.

Installation Model 3000TB Examples: The analog output signal has a voltage which depends on the oxygen concentration AND the currently activated analysis range. To relate the signal output to the actual concentration, it is necessary to know what range the instrument is currently on, especially when the analyzer is in the autoranging mode.

3000TA- EU 5.3.4 Installing a New Micro-Fuel Cell It is important to minimize the amount of time that a Teledyne Trace Oxygen Sensor is exposed to air during the installation process. The quicker the sensor can be installed into the unit, the faster your TAI sensor will recover to low O measurement levels.
Maintenance 5.3.5 Cell Lifetime The Insta Trace Micro-Fuel cell is used in the Model 3000TB. This cell has an expected lifetime of 6 months to 1 year from the date of installation. If any other cell is supplied with your instrument, check the front of this manual for special information applying to your cell.
