  • Page 7: Overview

    Overview The Teledyne Electronic Technologies Analytical Instruments (TET/AI) Model 3300TA is a microprocessor-based trace oxygen analyzer for real-time measurement of the parts per million of oxygen in inert gases, or in a wide variety of gas mixtures. It features simple operation, fast response, and a compact, rugged construction.

  • Page 11: Operational Theory

    Micro-Fuel Cell Sensor 2.2.1 Principles of Operation The oxygen sensor used in the Model 3300TA 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.
  • Page 12: Anatomy Of A Micro-Fuel Cell

    The space between the active elements is filled by a structure saturated with electrolyte. Cathode and anode are wet by this common pool. They each have a Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
  • Page 13: Electrochemical Reactions

    If the pressure changes, the rate that oxygen reaches the cathode through the diffusing membrane will also increase. The electron transfer, and therefore the external current, will increase, even though the proportion of oxygen has not changed. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
  • Page 14: Calibration Characteristics

    The cell itself does not need to be zeroed. As the cell reaches the end of its useful life, the slope seen in Figure 2-2 decreases. In the Model 3300TA, the slope is monitored. If the inverse of the slope: Span Value (ppm) / Cell Output (nA) is over 4.447 ppm/nA, a sensor failure alarm is triggered, indicating that the cell...

    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...
  • Page 18: Location And Mounting

    Location and Mounting 3.2.1 Control Unit Installation The 3300TA Control Unit is designed to be rack mounted, in a general purpose, indoor area, away from the moisture and the elements. The unit should be installed at viewing level in a sheltered area.

    Installation 3 Electrical Connections Figure 3-1 shows the Model 3300TA rear panel of the control unit. For detailed pinouts, see the wiring/interconnection drawings in the Draw- ings section at the rear of this manual. To gain access to the terminal blocks, the analyzer door screws must be lossened, and the door opened.

  • Page 21: Gas Connections

    Gas Connections The standard Model 3300TA has two inlets and one outlet fixture only. Calibration gasses can be connected into the "Span" inlet. All of the gas connections are 1/4 inch brass fittings.

    Set the sample pressure to 5–10 psig (34.5 - 68.9 kpa), 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...

  • Page 31: Maintenance 5

    Aside from normal cleaning and checking for leaks at the gas connections, Category II the Model 3300TA should not require any maintenance beyond replacement of expended Micro-Fuel Cells, and perhaps a blown fuse. Routine maintenance includes occasional recalibration, as described in chapter 4, Operation.
