    Introduction Introduction Overview The Teledyne Electronic Technologies Analytical Instruments (TET/AI) Model OT-3 is a microprocessor-based trace oxygen analyzer for real-time measurement of the parts per million 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 10: Front Panel Description

    All controls are accessible from the front panel. See Figure 1-1. The front panel has seven push-button membrane switches, a digital meter, and an alarm indicator LED for operating the analyzer. These features are described briefly here and in greater detail in Chapter 4, Operation. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
