Introduction 1 Introduction Overview The Teledyne Analytical Instruments Model 3000MB Percent Oxygen Analyzer is a versatile microprocessor-based instrument for detecting the percentage of oxygen in a variety of background gases. This manual covers the Model 3000MB General Purpose flush-panel and/or rack-mount units only. These units are for indoor use in a nonhazardous environment.
Model Designations 3000MB: Standard model. 3000MB-C: In addition to all standard features, this model also has separate ports for zero and span gases, and built-in control valves. The internal valves are entirely under the control of the 3000MA electronics, to automatically switch between gases in synchronization with the analyzer’s operations.
Figure 1-1: Model 3000MB Front Panel 1.5 Front Panel (Operator Interface) The standard 3000MB is housed in a rugged metal case with all con- trols and displays accessible from the front panel. See Figure 1-1. The front panel has thirteen buttons for operating the analyzer, a digital meter, an alphanumeric display, and a window for viewing the sample flowmeter.

1 Introduction Model 3000MB Function Keys: Six touch-sensitive membrane switches are used to change the specific function performed by the analyzer: • Perform analysis for oxygen content of a sample gas. Analyze • Perform system-related tasks (described in detail in System chapter 4, Operation.).
Current signal outputs are optional and may not appear on your instrument. The connectors are described briefly here and in detail in the Installation chapter of this manual. Figure 1-2: Model 3000MB Rear Panel • Power Connection Universal AC power source.

Precise Paramagnetic Sensor 2.2.1 Principles of Operation The heart of the 3000MB is a paramagnetic type oxygen sensor that is maintanance free and has a long lifetime. Oxygen has a very high magnetic sucseptibility compared to other gases and thus displays a particularly para- magnetic behavior.
Page 14
The Electronics and heating elements require a separate power source, from the rest of the 3000MB capable of delivering 1.5 amps approximately at 24 volts dc. The output of the sensor is roughly calibrated to be 0 to 1 volt DC for the the range of 0 to 100 % 02.

Depending on the mode of operation either sample or calibration gas is delivered. The Model 3000MB sample system is designed and fabricated to ensure that the oxygen concentration of the gas is not altered as it travels through the sample system.
Model 3000MB Electronics and Signal Processing The Model 3000MB Percent Oxygen Analyzer uses an 8031 microcon- troller with 32 kB of RAM and 128 kB of ROM to control all signal pro- cessing, input/output, and display functions for the analyzer. System power is supplied from a universal power supply module designed to be compatible with any international power source.

3 Installation Model 3000MB For safe connections, ensure that no uninsulated wire extends outside of the connectors they are attached to. Stripped wire ends must insert com- pletely into terminal blocks. No uninsulated wiring should be able to come in contact with fingers, tools or clothing during normal operation.

The signal output for concentration is linear over the currently selected analysis range. For example, if the analyzer is set on a range that was defined as 0–10 % O , then the output would be as shown in Table 3-1. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...

They generate a steady preset voltage (or current when using the current outputs) to represent a particular range.
Remote Zero and Span Inputs: The REMOTE SPAN and RE- MOTE ZERO inputs are on the DIGITAL INPUT terminal block. They accept 0 V (OFF) or 24 V dc (ON) for remote control of calibration. (See Remote Calibration Protocol below.) Teledyne Analytical Instruments...

(See Remote Calibration Protocol below.) Remote Calibration Protocol: To properly time the Digital Remote Cal Inputs to the Model 3000MB Analyzer, the customer's controller must monitor the CAL CONTACT relay. When the contact is OPEN, the analyzer is analyzing, the Remote Cal Inputs are being polled, and a zero or span command can be sent.
If you have the –C Internal valve option—which includes additional zero and span gas inputs— the 3000MB automatically regulates the zero, span and sample gas flow. 3.3.6 Range ID Relays There are four dedicated RANGE ID CONTACT relays.

In addition, each individual line has a series FET with a nominal ON resistance of 5 ohms (9 ohms worst case). This could limit the obtainable voltage, depending on the load impedance applied. See Figure 3-9. Figure 3-9: FET Series Resistance 3-11 Teledyne Analytical Instruments...

Operation 4 4.3.5 System Self-Diagnostic Test The Model 3000MB has a built-in self-diagnostic testing routine. Pre- programmed signals are sent through the power supply, output board and sensor circuit. The return signal is analyzed, and at the end of the test the status of each function is displayed on the screen, either as OK or as a number between 1 and 3.
4 Operation Model 3000MB The Span Functions The analyzer is calibrated using span gas. NOTE: Zero is not necessary for Percent (%) level measurements. Additional information on Zero functions is provided in the Appendix A-6 of this manual. Although the instrument can be spanned using air, a span gas with a known oxygen concentration in the range of 70–90% of full scale of the...
Press Enter to enter the span value into the system and begin the span calibration. Once the span has begun, the microprocessor samples the output at a predetermined rate. It calculates the difference between successive samplings and displays this difference as Slope on the screen. It takes several seconds 4-11 Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
The Alarms Function The Model 3000MB is equipped with 2 fully adjustable concentration alarms and a system failure alarm. Each alarm has a relay with a set of form “C" contacts rated for 3 amperes resistive load at 250 V ac. See Figure in Chapter 3, Installation and/or the Interconnection Diagram included at the back of this manual for relay terminal connections.

Five parameters can be changed on this screen: • Value of the alarm setpoint, AL–1 #### % (oxygen) • Out-of-range direction, HI or LO • Defeated? Dft–Y/N (Yes/No) • Failsafe? Fs–Y/N (Yes/No) • Latching? Ltch–Y/N (Yes/No). 4-13 Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Med = 0–5.00 % High = 0–10.00 %. The Model 3000MB is set at the factory to default to autoranging. In this mode, the microprocessor automatically responds to concentration changes by switching ranges for optimum readout sensitivity. If the current range limits are exceeded, the instrument will automatically shift to the next higher range.
