Since the use of this instrument is beyond the control of Teledyne, no responsibility by Teledyne, its affiliates, and agents for damage or injury from misuse or neglect of this equipment is implied or assumed.
Oxygen Analyzer is a versatile microprocessor-based instrument for detecting oxygen at the parts-per-billion (ppb) level in a variety of gases. This manual covers the Model BDS 3000 General Purpose flush-panel and/or rack-mount units only. These units are for indoor use in a non- hazardous environment.
Front Panel (Operator Interface) The standard BDS 3000 is housed in a rugged metal case with all controls and displays accessible from the front panel. See Figure 1-1. The front panel has thirteen buttons for operating the analyzer, a digital meter, an alphanumeric display, and a window for viewing the sample flowmeter.
Data Entry Keys: Six touch-sensitive membrane switches are used to input data to the instrument via the alphanumeric VFD display: • Left & Right Arrows Select between functions currently displayed on the VFD screen. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
