The Analytical Instruments Model 2000 Thermal Conductivity Ana-
lyzer is a versatile microprocessor-based instrument for measuring a com-
ponent gas in a background gas, or in a specific mixture of background
gases. 2000A-EU Analyzer complies with all of the requirements of the
Comonwealth of Europe (CE) for Radio Frequency Interference and Elec-
tromagnetic Interfaces (RFI/EMI) protection. It compares the thermal
conductivity of a sample stream with that of a reference gas of known
composition. The 2000 can—

The standard 2000 is preprogrammed with automatic linearization
algorithms for a large number of gases and gas mixtures. The factory can
add to this data base for custom applications, or the sophisticated user can
add his own unique application.
This manual covers the Model 2000A-EU General Purpose flush-
panel and rack-mount units only. These units are for indoor use in a
nonhazardous environment.
Many of the Model 2000 features covered in this manual are optional,
selected according to the customers specific application. Therefore, the user
will find much here that does not apply to his instrument. This is unavoid-
able due to the number of possible combinations of features available. We
have endeavored to make the manual as usable and convenient as possible,
in light of this flexibility.
