Overview The Teledyne Electronic Technologies Analytical Instruments (TETAI) Model 3300PA is a microprocessor-based percent oxygen analyzer for real- time measurement of the percent of oxygen in inert gases, or in a wide variety of gas mixtures. It features simple operation, fast response, and a compact, rugged construction.
Figure 1-1: Front Panel Function Keys: Seven pushbutton membrane switches are used to select the function performed by the analyzer: • Set Alarm 1 Sets Alarm 1 Hi or Low, and the concentration at which alarm 1 activates. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Rear Panel Description The rear panel contains the electrical input and output connectors. The connectors are described briefly here and in detail in the Installation chapter of this manual. Figure 1-2 Rear Panel Teledyne Analytical Instruments...

Micro-Fuel Cell Sensor 2.2.1 Principles of Operation The oxygen sensor used in the Model 3300PA is a Micro-Fuel Cell designed and manufactured by TAI. It is a sealed, disposable electrochemical transducer. The active components of the Micro-Fuel Cell are a cathode, an anode, and the aqueous KOH electrolyte in which they are immersed.
Near the diffusion membrane lies the oxygen sensing element—the cathode. The anode structure is larger than the cathode. It is made of lead and is designed to maximize the amount of metal available for chemical reaction. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
2.2.4 The Effect of Pressure In order to state the amount of oxygen present in the sample as a percent- age of the gas mixture, it is necessary that the sample diffuse into the cell under constant pressure. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Figure 2-2. Characteristic Input/Output Curve for a Micro-Fuel Cell In addition, since there is zero output in the absence oxygen, the character- istic curve has an absolute zero. The cell itself does not need to be zeroed. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...

12-bit digital to analog converter (DAC) that produces the 0-10 V dc analog concentration signal and the 0-10 V dc analog range ID output. A current to voltage converter (E–I CONV) produces the 4-20 mA dc analog concentration signal. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
CAUTION: Do not disturb the integrity of the cell package until the cell is to actually be used. If the cell package is punctured and air is permitted to enter, cell-life will be compromised. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Location and Mounting 3.2.1 Control Unit Installation The 3300PA Control Unit is designed to be rack mounted in a general purpose, indoor area, away from moisture and the elements. The unit should be installed at viewing level in a sheltered area.

Alarm 1 and Alarm 2 can both be configured as either HI or LO. A HI alarm will activate when concentration is above threshold, while a LO alarm will activate when concentration is below threshold. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Gas Connections The standard Model 3300PA has two inlets and one outlet fixture only. Calibration gasses can be connected into the "Span" inlet. The two inlets and one outlet are 1/8 inch brass fittings.

Select Sample with the three-way control valve and open the flow control valve on the analyzer to full flow (located on the analyzer flow meter). Open the pump bypass valve, and turn on the pump. Readjust the Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Set the sample pressure to 5–10 psig, nominal (for non-vacuum service units) • Set the flow Once the above checks have been made, you can connect to the power source. The instrument is now ready for operation. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Analyzing for the percent oxygen level in the gas passing through the cell block is the default mode of operation. As long as no front panel buttons are being pressed the Analyzer is analyzing. Figure 4-1: Front Panel Controls and Indicators Teledyne Analytical Instruments...

The SENSOR FAIL alarm is factory set to a reading less than 0.05% . Should this alarm trigger the ALARM Indicator below the SET Func- tion buttons will blink, and the alarm relay contact dedicated to this function will change state. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Percent Oxygen Analyzer Operation 4 Selecting a Fixed Range or Autoranging The Model 3300PA can operate in fixed high, fixed low, or autoranging mode. To change modes: 1. Press and then release the SET HI RANGE and the SET LO RANGE buttons simultaneously.
- the 60 second alarm delay will not occur, i.e., the alarms will be responsive immediately. CAUTION: TET/AI considers the action of pressing the ALARM or RANGE buttons to be at your (the user’s) discretion and NOT under guarantee of alarm protection. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Maintenance Aside from normal cleaning and checking for leaks at the gas connections, Overvoltage the Model 3300PA should not require any maintenance beyond replacement of Category II expended Micro-Fuel Cells, and perhaps a blown fuse. Routine maintenance includes occasional recalibration, as described in chapter 4, Operation.

Maintenance 5 ted to enter, cell-life will be compromised. WARNING: The sensor used in the Model 3300PA uses electrolytes which contain substances that are extremely harmful if touched, swallowed, or inhaled. Avoid contact with ANY fluid or powder in or around the unit. What may appear to be plain water could contain one of these toxic substances.
5.2.5 Cell Warranty Conditions The Class I-22 Micro-Fuel cell is used in the Model 3300PA. This cell is a long life cell and is warranted for 2 years (under specified operating condi- tions—see Appendix) from the date of shipment. Note any Addenda attached to the front of this manual for special information applying to your instrument.
