Quickstart Guide
GETTING STARTED
This Quickstart Guide is designed to get you set up and operating your Teledyne Analytical
Instruments Analyzer quickly. It shortcuts the details so you can install and use your new
analyzer with a minimum of fuss. This Quickstart Guide should be used in conjunction with the
Instruction Manual that shipped with your instrument. Only necessary features to get you
operational are discussed in this guide. Many of the advanced features of this analyzer are not
described here so you should refer to the Instruction Manual to get the most from your analyzer
Front Panel (Operator Interface)
Take a minute to familiarize yourself with the analyzer’s interface. The standard 3000TA-
EU is housed in a rugged metal case with all controls and displays accessible from the front
panel. The operator interface consists of thirteen buttons for operating the analyzer, a digital
meter, an alphanumeric display, and a window for viewing the sample flowmeter.

SETUP AND INSTALL
Mount the Analyzer
The Model 3000TA -EU is for indoor use in a general purpose area. It is NOT for hazardous
environments of any type. It is designed for flush panel mounting. Use the four mounting holes—
one in each corner of the rigid frame to panel mount the instrument.
Make Gas Connections
Note: Do not remove plastic caps on VCR fittings, unless you are ready to make
connections.
The analyzer is equipped with 1/4 inch tube fittings, and 6 mm adapters are supplied for
metric system installations.
1. Connect your sample gas to the SAMPLE IN port.
2. Connect a vent line to EXHAUST OUT port.
3. Calibration gases should be tee'd into the sample inlet with appropriate valves.
4. Regulate the sample gas pressure between 2 and 50 psig sufficient to keep the front
panel flowmeter reading in an acceptable range (0.5 to 2.0 SLPM). For non-
pressurized sample or very low pressure, (less than 2 psig) vacuum service plumbing
is recommended.
5. If greater sample flow is required for improved response time, install a bypass in the
sampling system upstream of the analyzer input.
6. For optional vacuum application where the sample pressure is at atmospheric or very
low pressure, the instrument should be fitted with the vacuum service option. This
option locates the flow control valve on the exhaust side of the Micro-fuel Cell.
Note: Exhaust connections must be consistent with the hazard level of the constituent
gases. Check Local, State, and Federal laws, and ensure that the exhaust
stream vents to an appropriately controlled area, if required.

CAUTION:
READ ALL SAFETY INFORMATION REGARDING ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
ASSOCIATIED WITH THIS INSTRUMENT BEFORE MAKING ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS.
CAUTION:
POWER IS APPLIED TO THE INSTRUMENT'S CIRCUITRY AS LONG AS THE
INSTRUMENT IS CONNECTED TO THE POWER SOURCE. THE RED
SWITCH ON THE FRONT PANEL IS FOR SWITCHING POWER ON OR OFF
TO THE DISPLAYS AND OUTPUTS ONLY.

Install 50-Pin Equipment Interface Connector
Connect the 50 pin connector to the mating connector on the rear panel.
Connect the 9-pin D connector to the RS-232 serial port.
See Section 3.3.2.3 in the Instruction Manual for information on setting up serial
communication for this instrument.
Install the Micro-fuel Cell
The Model 3000TA-XL-EU can be equipped with either the standard B-2CXL Micro-fuel
Cell or as an option, Teledyne’s Insta Trace cell.
B-2CXL Micro-fuel Cell
To install this cell:
1. Remove power to the instrument.
2. Open the front panel door.
3. With one hand placed underneath the cell
block ready to catch the Micro-Fuel cell, lift
up on the stainless steel gate in front of the
cell block. This releases the cell and cell
holder from the block. The cell and holder will
fall out in your hand.
CAUTION:
THE CELL IS SHIPPED SEPARATELY
INSIDE TWO BAGS FILLED WITH
OXYGEN-FREE INERT GAS. USE
CARE TO AVOID EXPOSING THE
CELLTO AIR FOR ANY LONGER THEN
NECESSARY TO INSTALL THE ITEM.
Insta-Trace Micro-fuel Cell
Note: The Insta Trace Micro-fuel Cell has a short recovery time after ambient air
exposure, however minimizing this exposure still reduces the recovery time
necessary.
CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCH THE SENSING SURFACE OF THE CELL. IT IS COVERED
WITH A DELICATE TEFLON MEMBRANE THAT CAN LEAK WHEN
PUNCTURED.

Quickstart Guide
1. Place the cell on the holder with the screen side facing down.
Note: There is a small location hole drilled in the holder. This hole mates with a guide
pin on the bottom rear of the cell block. The hole in the cell block holder must
align with the guide pin on the cell block.
2. Remove power from the instrument.
3. Remove the old sensor (if installed). Discard in accordance with all Federal, State,
Local or other regulations which may apply.
4. Purge the analyzer at approximately 1 SCFH flow rate with nitrogen (or applicable
sample gas with the sensor holder removed).
5. Remove the new sensor from its double bag
storage.
6. Remove the sensor shorting button.
7. Place the sensor inside the cell block.
8. Hold the sensor up into the block while
positioning the cap under the sensor.
Vigorously push the cell holder with the
sensor into the cell block, thus puncturing
the protective film/seal cover.
9. Push the gate on the cell block down so that
the slots on the side of the gate engage the
locating screws on the side of the block. This forces the holder into position and
forms a gas-tight seal.
10. Purge the system using sample or zero gas.
11. Power the system back up.
The Insta Trace sensor will typically reach a stable low value within 30 minutes or less after
installation.

BASIC OPERATION
Once the analyzer has been installed, it can be configured for your application. Prior to
using the instrument you must:
•
•
•
Calibrate the instrument
Define the analysis ranges and choose whether to use autoranging or a fixed range.
Set alarm setpoints and modes of alarm operation.
Additional configuration parameters are available to tailor the instrument to your particular
application. Refer to the Instruction Manual for specific information on setting of additional
system parameters.
Default Configuration
The default analyzer configuration is as follows:
Ranges: LO = 1 ppm, MED = 10 ppm, HI = 100 ppm.
Auto Ranging: ON
Alarm Relays: Defeated, 10.00 ppm, HI, Not failsafe, Not latching.
Zero: Auto, every 0 days at 0 hours.
Span: Auto, at 000,008.00 ppm, every 0 days at 0 hours.
If you choose not to use password protection, the default password is automatically
displayed on the password screen when you start up, and you simply press Enter for access to all
functions of the analyzer.
Using the Data Entry and Function Buttons
The ◄► arrow buttons select options from the menu currently being displayed on the
display. When selected, the option blinks.
When the selected option includes a modifiable item, the ▲▼ arrow buttons can be used to
increment or decrement that modifiable item.
The Enter button is used to accept any new entries on the VFD screen.
The Escape button is used to abort any new entries on the VFD screen that are not yet
accepted by use of the Enter button.

Quickstart Guide
Trace Oxygen Analyzer
Any function can be selected at any time by pressing the appropriate button (unless
password restrictions apply).
Password Protection
If a password is assigned, then setting the following system parameters can be done only
after the password is entered: span and zero settings, alarm setpoints, analysis range definitions,
switching between autoranging and manual override, setting up an auto-cal, and assigning a new
password. However, the instrument can still be used for analysis or for initiating a self-test
without entering the password.
If you have decided not to employ password security, use the default password TETAI. This
password will be displayed automatically by the microprocessor. The operator just presses the
Enter key to be allowed total access to the instrument’s features.
Note: If you use password security, it is advisable to keep a copy of the password in a
separate, safe location.
Entering the Password
To install a new password or change a previously installed password, you must key in and
Enter the old password first. If the default password is in effect, pressing the Enter button will
enter the default TETAI password for you.
