Teledyne Analytical Instruments Ultra Trace Oxygen Analyzer Operational Theory 2 Operational Theory 2 1 Introduction The analyzer is composed of three subsystems 1 Micro fuel Cell Sensor 2 Sample System 3 Electronic Signal Processing Display and Control The sample system is designed to accept the sample gas and transport it through the analyzer without contaminating or altering the sample prior to analysis The Micro fuel Cell is an electrochemical galvanic device that translates the amount of oxygen present in the sample into an electrical current The electronic signal processing display and control subsystem simplifies operation of the analyzer and accurately processes the sampled data The microprocessor controls all signal processing input output and display functions for the analyzer 2 2 Micro Fuel Cell Sensor 2 2 1 Principles of Operation The oxygen sensor used in the Model Ultra Trace 3000 series is a Micro fuel Cell Model B 2CXL designed and manufactured by Analytical Instruments It is a sealed plastic 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 The cell converts the energy from a chemical reaction into an electrical current in an external electrical circuit Its action is similar to that of a battery There is however an important difference in the operation of a battery as compared

Trace Oxygen Analyzer Operation 4 4 3 7 Filter Function The response time on the most sensitive range ppb range is user definable from approximately 1 60 minutes The adjustable filter allows the user to tune the response of the analyzer to best balance sensor noise and response time requirements The factory default setting is 5 minutes The actual response time will depend on the user s sample system the length and size the tubing of tubing as well as the sample flow rate The filter setting can be accessed by selecting SYSTEM on the keypad followed by MORE on the display with the lt gt keys The filter function is then selected and changed using the arrow keys Press ENTER and ANA LYZE to return to analyze mode In the event of an over range condition the filter rate will automatically switch to a faster setting approximately 45 sec response time for the duration of the over range or upset condition This feature allows the ana lyzer to quickly respond to and track an upset condition 4 4 Calibration of the Analyzer The analyzer must be calibrated prior to its use For most applications where the desired range of measurement is 0 to 10 ppm or less we recommend the analyzer be calibrated using a span gas as detailed below Span Gas Calibration Before the cell is ready for calibration it must be purged with sample gas to a low oxygen level preferably below 0 1 ppm However if the oxygen contact of the sample gas is
