  • Page 11: Introduction

    Transmitter is an instrument designed to analyze the gas concentration of a binary gas mixture. This manual covers the CENELEC/ATEX approved model 2000 XTC Thermal Conductivity Transmitter. These units are rated as intrinsically safe and may be used in Class I, Group A, B, C, D, Div. 1 (North America) and EEx ib IIC T3 (IEC/Europe) hazardous environments.
  • Page 12: Main Features Of The Transmitter

    1.4 Operator Interface The user does not interact with the transmitter directly. The standard 2000 XTC Thermal Conductivity Transmitter provides a 4-20 mA output signal proportional to the concentration of the gas being analyzed. This signal can be used to drive devices such as displays, concentration alarms, user-supplied devices, or it can be monitored using a chart recorder.

    Thermal Conductivity Transmitter Introduction Figure 1-1 shows the 2000 XTC Thermal Conductivity Transmitter. The instrument is comprised of two modules: the transmitter unit and the galvanic isolator unit. The transmitter is located at the sample point (which can be a hazardous area) and is where the sample gas input is converted into an electrical output signal.

  • Page 15: Operational Theory

    Thermal Conductivity Transmitter Operational Theory Operational Theory 2.1 Introduction The 2000 XTC is comprised of two subsystems: 1. The thermal conductivity sensor and transmitter 2. Galvanic isolator and power supply The system directs a sample gas into the transmitter. Internally, the sample is passed to the sensor and heated without contaminating or altering the sample in any way.
  • Page 16: Figure 2-1: Thermal Conductivity Sensor

    Figure 2-1 shows a cross section of the sensor used in the 2000 XTC. A resistor is mounted on a heated membrane to which the sample gas is exposed.
  • Page 17: Sample System

    Figure 2-2 is a typical sample system for delivering sample and calibration gases to the transmitter. It uses two (2) 3-way valves to deliver either sample or calibration (zero or span) gas to the transmitter. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
  • Page 18: Figure 2-2: Recommended External Sample System

    Operational Theory 2000 XTC Figure 2-2: Recommended External Sample System The sample path within the transmitter is a straight-through path. Gas encounters no dead space. This minimizes residual gas pockets that can interfere with accurate analysis. Stainless steel 1/4” tube fittings are installed (6mm are available) for connecting the external sample system to the transmitter.

    Operational Theory 2000 XTC membrane. The amount of voltage needed to offset the analog output (i.e. to null the circuit when the resistance changes due to temperature effects) is measured and applied. A preprogrammed microcontroller with EPROM uses the offset voltage from the analog stages to generate a linearized output voltage signal, which is then converted to a 0-4 mA current.
