Oxygen Alarm Monitor Introduction 1 Introduction The Teledyne Analytical Instruments (TAI) Model 335 Oxygen Alarm accurately measures the oxygen content of the atmosphere sur- rounding its sensor. The standard measurement range is 0-25% oxygen. The alarm feature of the instrument incorporates two adjustable setpoints to allow alarm warning under either of two independent oxygen level conditions.

15% aqueous Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) electrolyte in which they are immersed. The cell converts the energy from a chemical reaction into an electrical potential that can produce a current in an external electrical circuit. Its action is similar to that of a battery.

The rings mate with spring-loaded contacts in the sensor block assembly and provide the electrical connection to the rest of the analyzer. Figure 2-1 illustrates the external features. mfcouts.wmf Figure 2-1: Micro-Fuel Cell mfc-xsec.wmf Figure 2-2. Cross Section of a Micro-Fuel Cell TELEDYNE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS...
The electrons released at the surface of the anode flow to the cathode surface when an external electrical path is provided. The current is propor- tional 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...
In other words it has a linear characteristic curve, as shown in Figure 2-3 (using arbitrary units). Measuring circuits do not have to compensate for nonlinearities. TELEDYNE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS...
The amplified 1V signal is fed to the meter, and a full scale meter response with 1V applied is accomplished by adjustment of potentiometer P6. Comparator sections A2a and A2b, biased by setpoint potentiometers P5 and P4, respectively, provide direct activation of the alarm relays and TELEDYNE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS...
As per OSHA specifications, the standard factory setting of the two alarms provides a “CAUTION” alarm at 20% oxygen (at the sensor) and a “DANGER” alarm at 19.5% oxygen. To cover special cases, a limited amount of adjustment is possible. TELEDYNE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS...
This instrument is designed to operate from a 115VAC @ 50/60 Hz power. As an option, if specified at the time of purchase, this instrument can be powered from 100 or 220VAC @ 50/60 Hz. Connect the included power cord to the AC power. TELEDYNE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS...
