This manual section covers the Model 2010B General Purpose flush-panel and rack-mount control units only. Many of the Model 2010B features covered in this manual are optional, selected according to the customers specific application. Refer to the specific model information sheet (page IV) for the options incorporated in the instrument.
Refrigeration and storage • Gas proportioning control. Main Features of the Analyzer The main features of the Model 2010B Thermal Conductivity Analyzer include: • Three independent, user definable, analysis ranges allow up to three different gas applications with one concentration range each, or up to three concentration ranges for a single gas applica- tion, or any combination.
Operator Interface (Front Panel) The standard 2010B 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, and an alphanumeric display.

2 Operational Theory Model 2010B Figure 2-1: Thermal Conductivity Cell Operating Principle If the thermal conductivities of the gases in the two chambers are different, the Wheatstone bridge circuit unbalances, causing a current to flow in its detector circuit. The amount of this current can be an indication of the amount of impurity in the sample gas, or even an indication of the type of gas, depending on the known properties of the reference and sample gases.
Electronics and Signal Processing The Model 2010B Thermal Conductivity Analyzer uses an 8031 microcontroller, Central Processing Unit—(CPU) with 32 kB of RAM and 128 kB of ROM to control all signal processing, input/output, and display functions for the analyzer.

Specific procedures for their use follow the descriptions: • : Used to define an automatic calibration sequence and/or start an AUTO-CAL. • : Security can be established by choosing a 3 digit password ( ) from the standard ASCII character set.
Note: If you require highly accurate AUTO-CAL timing, use external AUTO-CAL control where possible. The internal clock in the Model 2010B is accurate to 2-3 %. Accordingly, internally scheduled calibrations can vary 2-3 % per day. Note: If all your ranges are for the same gas application, then AUTO- CAL will calibrate whichever range you are in at the scheduled time for automatic calibration.

The Zero and Span Functions (1) The Model 2010B can have as many as three analysis ranges plus a special calibration range (Cal Range); and the analysis ranges, if more than one, may be programmed for separate or identical gas applications.
4 Operation Model 2010B The analyzer is calibrated using reference, zero, and span gases. Gas requirements are covered in detail in chapter 3, section 3.4 Gas Connections. Check that calibration gases are connected to the analyzer according to the instructions in section 3.4, observing all the prescribed precautions.
S–Zero starts. During S–Zero, the Microcontroller takes control as in Auto Mode Zeroing, above. It calculates the differences between successive sam- plings and displays the rate of change as a value in parts per million per second (ppm/s). Teledyne Analytical Instruments Part I 4-13...
Cell failure in the 2010B is usually associated with inability to zero the instrument with a reasonable voltage differential across the Wheatstone bridge. If this should ever happen, the 2010B system alarm trips, and the VFD displays a failure message.

Alternatively, you can press the Analyze button at any time to return to analyzing your sample. The Analyze function screen shows the impurity concentration and the application gases in the first line, and the range in the second line.
Normally the Model 2010B is factory set to default to manual range selection, unless it is ordered as a single-application multiple-range unit (in which case it defaults to autoranging).
