  • Page 11: Introduction

    Because of the intrinsically safe design, the instrument can be employed even in hazardous environments without compromise once calibrated. The Model 3110XL incorporates a large standard feature list designed for versatile, accurate oxygen analysis for a wide range of applications.
  • Page 12: Features

    This instrument is designed to be versatile analytical instrument and to perform reliably and accurately in analyzing oxygen concentrations in gas mixtures from low ppm levels through 25% oxygen. The following features are standard on the Model 3110XL: • Display: A 2-line 20 character alphanumeric LCD...
  • Page 13: Method Of Analysis

    9-pin serial interface. • Real-time Clock: This feature allows the Model 3110XL to date and time stamp the data set recorded on the data logger. It uses a 24 hour clock. • Quick Disconnect Fittings: Dual self-sealing quick disconnect fittings are installed for easy sample connections.

    MISHANDLING WILL RENDER THE CELL WARRANTY NULL AND VOID. The Model 3110XL is rated as intrinsically safe and may be used in a Class I, Div 1, Group A-D hazardous environments. This safety feature does not apply when the instrument is being charged with the 100- 240 VAC external charge adapter.
  • Page 15: Accuracy And Response

    With a sample flowrate of 1 SCFH, a 90% response can be achieved in 10 seconds when analyzing in the percent range. The response time on the 3110XL is limited by the filter setting. 1.6 Signal Output This analyzer includes a 0-1 VDC output as standard. This signal is suitable for driving external devices that have an input impedance of 10,000 Ω...

    Sample In line. 2.3 Sensor Installation The Model 3110XL can accept various trace oxygen sensors. For most applications the A2-C or B-2C is used. Others are available. See page iii for the specific sensor shipped with your instrument. The installation procedure is similar for either sensor.
  • Page 20: Installing The Trace Sensor

    Installation Model 3110XL 2.3.1 Installing the Trace Sensor Prior to installing the trace sensor, make sure the analyzer is ready to purge with zero gas. Connect the vent line to the analyzer then connect the zero gas line to the sample in port. Set the zero gas flow rate to between 0.2 and 2.5 SCFH.

    Installation Model 3110XL 3. Set the calibration gas flowrate to 1 SCFH. 4. Attach the vent line followed by the span gas line using the quick disconnect fittings. 5. Navigate to the SPAN VALUE screen (see Section 3.2.6) and set the span value to the known oxygen concentration in ppm of the span gas.
  • Page 23: Set The Sample Flowrate

    Once the sample gas is flowing, set the flow rate to 0.2-2.5 SCFH. 2.6 External Signal A 0-1 VDC output signal is included with the Model 3110XL. When installed, the output signal represents the percentage of oxygen in the current range. For instance, if the range was set for 0 to 10 ppm, then 0.1 V would represent 1.0 ppm, 0.2V would be 2.0 ppm;...
