    Model 3000PA 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 3000PA General Purpose flush-panel and/or rack-mount units only. These units are for indoor use in a nonhazardous environment.
  • Page 8: Model Designations

    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 3000PA electronics, to automatically switch between gases in synchronization with the analyzer’s operations. 3000PA-M: This model has current output signals (4-20 mA) for percent- of-range and range ID, in addition to voltage outputs.

    Figure 1-1: Model 3000PA Front Panel Front Panel (Operator Interface) The standard 3000PA 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, an alphanu- meric display, and a window for viewing the sample flowmeter.
  • Page 10 1 Introduction Model 3000PA Function Keys: Six touch-sensitive membrane switches are used to change the specific function performed by the analyzer: • Analyze Perform analysis for oxygen content of a sample gas. • System Perform system-related tasks (described in detail in chapter 4, Operation.).

If the 3000PA analysis readings drift downward uncharacteristically, try recalibration. If recalibration raises the readings temporarily, the cell may be failing.

    Med = 0–5.00 % High = 0–10.00 %. The Model 3000PA 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.

    4 Operation Model 3000PA 4.6.2 Autoranging Analysis Set your analysis ranges as in 4.6.1, above. Leave Mode in Auto, or use the arrow buttons to change back to Auto. When operating in autoranging, if the oxygen concentration in your sample goes ABOVE your HIGHEST range setting, the analyzer will go into the special 25 % cal range.

  • Page 50 4 Operation Model 3000PA The analog output signal has a voltage which depends on the oxygen concentration AND the currently activated analysis range. To relate the signal output to the actual concentration, it is necessary to know what range the instrument is currently on, especially when the analyzer is in the autoranging mode.
  • Page 51: Maintenance

    To have a replacement cell available when it is needed, TAI recom- mends that one spare cell be purchased 4-5 months after commissioning the 3000PA, or shortly before the end of the cell warranty period. CAUTION: Do not stockpile cells. The warranty period starts on the day of shipment.
