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.
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.
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.

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.
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...
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.
Figure 2-4 is a block diagram of the instrument electronics. Figure 2-4: Block Diagram of 2000 XTC 2.4.1 Transmitter The differences in thermal conductivities of the sample gas provide...
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.
Figure 2-5 shows the pin configuration for this cable. The interface unit and the transmitter module can be separated up to 30.5 meters (100 feet). Figure 2-5: Model 2000 XTC External Wiring Diagram Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Installation For Intrinsically Safe (IS) installation, special considerations are required. The 2000 XTC Thermal Conductivity Transmitter has been designed to be Intrinsically Safe using an integral galvanic isolator module that limits power to and from the transmitter in a hazardous location. When...
Thermal Conductivity Transmitter Installation 3.2 Mounting the Transmitter The Model 2000 XTC Transmitter is intended for indoor use only. The transmitter module is designed for operation in a hazardous location. It should be mounted in an area close to the sample take- off point.
Installation 2000 XTC Figure 3-2: Mounting Dimensions for Interface Unit Once the transmitter and galvanic isolator are securely mounted, connect the interface cable to the transmitter. If the cable is not attached to the safety barrier, connect the wires to the unit as described in Section 3-5.
Connect the positive lead from the 24 VDC source to terminal 7 and the negative lead to terminal 8 on the galvanic isolator module as shown in Figure 3-3. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Installation 2000 XTC 4-20 mA Output Signal The output signal from the instrument is available to the user as a 4-20 mA current. It has a maximum impedance of 700 Ohms. Typically, this output is used to display concentration using a digital meter or chart recorder or to trigger an alarm circuit.
The following calibration procedures assume that suitable calibration gas connections have been made and that a read-out device capable of interpreting a 4-20 mA current is attached to the output terminals of the galvanic isolator module (see Section 3-5). Teledyne Analytical Instruments...

It has been adjusted at the factory for optimum performance based on your application.
If a different gas is used, the resulting output signal may not be linear with concentration. You also may experience difficulty in Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Installation 2000 XTC zeroing this instrument when using a gas different than the gas specified at the time of purchase. To zero calibrate this instrument: 1. Connect a read-out device to the 4-20 mA output signal terminals on the galvanic isolator module according to Section 3-5.
