Model 3350 is a microprocessor-based Oxygen Alarm Monitor for real-time measurement of the oxygen content of the atmosphere surrounding its sensor. The Model 3350 standard instrument is configured to run from an AC power source and is also available with continuous charging, DC battery backup option.
1 Introduction Model 3350 • Two factory preset alarms, form C relay contacts, configured as Failsafe or Non-Failsafe. • Sensor failure alarm, form C relay contact, configured as Failsafe or Non-Failsafe. • Three analog outputs: two for measurement (0–10 VDC, and negative ground 4–20 mADC) and one for range identification...

Micro-Fuel Cell Sensor 2.2.1 Principles of Operation The oxygen sensor used in the Model 3350 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.
2 Operational Theory Model 3350 2.2.2 Anatomy of a Micro-Fuel Cell The Micro-Fuel Cell is made of extremely inert plastic (which can be placed confidently in practically any environment or sample stream). It is effec- tively sealed, though one end is permeable to oxygen in the sample gas. At the permeable end a screen retains a diffusion membrane through which the oxygen passes into the cell.
Fortunately, Dalton's Law confirms that every gas in a mixture contributes the same pressure to the mixture that it would exert if it were alone in the same Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
2 Operational Theory Model 3350 amount in that same volume. This means that as long as the total pressure of the sample remains constant, the mixture can change, but the diffusion of the oxygen will be affected only by the concentration of the oxygen.

2 Operational Theory Model 3350 In the presence of oxygen the cell generates a current. The sensor has an internal thermistor compensation network. The output of the sensor is converted to millivolts. This output is fed to a volatge amplifier. The internal thermistor network provides temperature com- pensation of the sensor output.
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...
3 Installation Model 3350 Installation The 3350 is designed to be wall-mounted, in a general purpose, area. The unit should be installed at viewing level in a sheltered area, if possible. The installation consists of installing the MFC, connecting the rechargeable battery (if applicable) and connecting the instrument to AC power..
3.5 Power and Signal Connections AC and Battery Backed Standby Power This 3350 is designed to operate from 100-240VAC @ 50/60 Hz power. Connect the included power cord to the AC power as shown in Fig. 3-3 for standard AC unit and Fig. 3-4 for battery backed standby power.
3.5.2 Battery Backed Standby Power An optional Battery Backed Standby Power Configuration is offered on the Model 3350 for potential power failure or "brown out" conditions. Power outages will not interfere with a properly-working Model 3350 oxygen alarm if it is installed and used correctly. The standby power source uses a rechargeable lead acid battery.
AC power (that is, under battery power). The optional battery backup version of the Model 3350 is designed to operate on standby battery power for at least 17 hours in Fail Safe mode and 48 hours in Non-Fail Safe mode (if conditions are favorable, i.e., conditions...
3 Installation Model 3350 3.5.3 Analog Outputs There are four DC output signal connectors with screw terminals on the panel. Recommended wire: 22 AWG minimum with 300VAC insulation. There are two wires per output with the polarity noted. The outputs are: 0–10 V % Range:...
Each status output is followed by a carriage return and line feed. The RS-232 protocol allows some flexibility in its implementation. Table 3-2 lists certain RS-232 values that are required by the 3350 imple- mentation. Table 3-2: Required RS-232 Options...
3 Installation Model 3350 The specific descriptions for each type of alarm are as follows: Alarm #1 (CAUTION) Factory preset for OSHA Standards at 20% Oxygen. Alarm #2 (DANGER) Factory preset for OSHA Standards at 19.5% Oxygen. Sensor Fail Actuates when the output of the Micro-Fuel Cell sensor falls below the acceptable level (0.05% Oxygen).
Micro-Fuel Cell (MFC) installed. With the class B-3 MFC installed, the response time is less than 15 seconds at 25°C. The table below indicates the response time for some MFCs typically used in the Model 3350. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
13 12 Intermediate response/long life 3.8 Cell Warranty The Class B-3 cell used in the Model 3350 is warranted for 12 months of service. Under normal operating conditions the Class B-3 cell should last 12 months in air. For special applications, optional cells are available.
3.10 Accessory Flow-Through Adapter A flow-through adapter is available for the Series 3350 Oxygen Analyzer for those applications that require piped-in gases. The adapter consists of a sealed chamber where the instrument's probe is inserted, with two radially-oriented hose connectors to which supply and vent lines for the calibration gas are connected.

Alarm Oxygen Monitor Maintenance 5 Maintenance Aside from normal cleaning, the Model 3350 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.
5 Maintenance Model 3350 3. Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver into the slot in the receptacle at the end of the power module and gently pry open the fuse receptacle. The fuse holder will slide out. There are two fuses in use and are visible in the clip.
If the cell package is punctured and air is permit- ted to enter, cell-life will be compromised. WARNING: The sensor used in the Model 3350 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.
4. Replace the probe cap. 5.2.5 Cell Warranty Conditions The Class B-3 Micro-Fuel cell is used in the Model 3350. This cell is a long life cell and is warranted for 12 Months (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.
