Trace Oxygen Analyzer
Operational Theory 2
Operational Theory
2.1 Introduction
The analyzer is composed of three subsystems:
1. Micro-Fuel Cell Sensor
2. SampleSystem
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 3020T series is a Micro-Fuel Cell
designed and manufactured by Analytical Instruments. It is a sealed plastic
disposableelectrochemicaltransducer.
The active components of the Micro-Fuel Cell are a cathode, an anode,
and the 15% 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 to the Micro-Fuel Cell: In the battery, all reactants are stored
within the cell, whereas in the Micro-Fuel Cell, one of the reactants (oxygen)
comes from outside the device as a constituent of the sample gas being

Model 3020T
analyzed. The Micro-Fuel Cell is therefore a hybrid between a battery and a
true fuel cell. (All of the reactants are stored externally in a true fuel cell.)
2.2.2 Anatomy of a Micro-Fuel Cell
The Micro-Fuel Cell is a cylinder only 1¼ inches in diameter and 1¼
inches thick. It is made of an extremely inert plastic, which can be placed
confidently in practically any environment or sample stream. It is effectively
sealed, although one end is permeable to oxygen in the sample gas. The
other end of the cell is a contact plate consisting of two concentric foil rings.
The rings mate with spring-loaded contacts in the sensor block assembly and
provide the electrical connection to the rest of the analyzer. Figure 2-1
illustratestheexternalfeatures.
Figure 2-1: Micro-Fuel Cell
Refer to Figure 2-2, Cross Section of a Micro-Fuel Cell, which illus-

Trace Oxygen Analyzer
Operational Theory 2
At the top end of the cell is a diffusion membrane of Teflon, whose
thickness is very accurately controlled. Beneath the diffusion membrane lies
the oxygen sensing element—the cathode—with a surface area almost 4 cm2.
The cathode has many perforations to ensure sufficient wetting of the upper
surface with electrolyte, and it is plated with an inert metal.
The anode structure is below the cathode. It is made of lead and has a
proprietary design which is meant to maximize the amount of metal available
forchemicalreaction.
At the rear of the cell, just below the anode structure, is a flexible
membrane designed to accommodate the internal volume changes that occur
throughout the life of the cell. This flexibility assures that the sensing mem-
brane remains in its proper position, keeping the electrical output constant.
The entire space between the diffusion membrane, above the cathode,
and the flexible rear membrane, beneath the anode, is filled with electrolyte.
Cathode and anode are submerged in this common pool. They each have a
conductor connecting them to one of the external contact rings on the contact
plate, which is on the bottom of the cell.
2.2.3 Electrochemical Reactions
The sample gas diffuses through the Teflon membrane. Any oxygen in
the sample gas is reduced on the surface of the cathode by the following
HALF REACTION:
O2 + 2H2O + 4e– → 4OH–
(cathode)
(Four electrons combine with one oxygen molecule—in the presence of
water from the electrolyte—to produce four hydroxyl ions.)
When the oxygen is reduced at the cathode, lead is simultaneously
oxidized at the anode by the following HALF REACTION:
Pb + 2OH– → Pb+2 + H2O + 2e–
(anode)
(Two electrons are transferred for each atom of lead that is oxidized.
Therefore it takes two of the above anode reactions to balance one cathode
reactionandtransferfourelectrons.)
The electrons released at the surface of the anode flow to the cathode
surface when an external electrical path is provided. The current is propor-
tional to the amount of oxygen reaching the cathode. It is measured and used
to determine the oxygen concentration in the gas mixture.

2 Operational Theory
Model 3020T
The overall reaction for the fuel cell is the SUM of the half reactions
above, or:
2Pb + O2 → 2PbO
(These reactions will hold as long as no gaseous components capable of
oxidizing lead—such as iodine, bromine, chlorine and fluorine—are present
in the sample.)
The output of the fuel cell is limited by (1) the amount of oxygen in the
cell at the time and (2) the amount of stored anode material.
In the absence of oxygen, no current is generated.
2.2.4 The Effect of Pressure
In order to state the amount of oxygen present in the sample in parts-
per-million or a percentage of the gas mixture, it is necessary that the sample
diffuse into the cell under constant pressure.
If the total pressure increases, 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 oxygen concen-
tration of the sample has not changed. It is therefore important that the
sample pressure at the fuel cell (usually vent pressure) remain relatively
constantbetweencalibrations.
2.2.5 Calibration Characteristics
Given that the total pressure of the sample gas on the surface of the
Micro-Fuel Cell input is constant, a convenient characteristic of the cell is
that the current produced in an external circuit is directly proportional to the
rate at which oxygen molecules reach the cathode, and this rate is directly
proportional to the concentration of oxygen in the gaseous mixture. In other
words it has a linear characteristic curve, as shown in Figure 2-3. Measuring
circuits do not have to compensate for nonlinearities.
In addition, since there is zero output in the absence oxygen, the charac-
teristic curve has close to an absolute zero (within ± 1 ppm oxygen). In
practical application, zeroing may still used to compensate for the combined
zero offsets of the cell and the electronics. (The electronics is zeroed auto-
matically when the instrument power is turned on.)

2.3 Sample System
The sample system delivers gases to the Micro-Fuel Cell sensor from
the analyzer gas panel inlets. Depending on the mode of operation either
sample or calibration gas is delivered.
The Model 3020T sample system is designed and fabricated to ensure
that the oxygen concentration of the gas is not altered as it travels through the
sample system. The sample encounters almost no dead space. This mini-
mizes residual gas pockets that can interfere with trace analysis.
The sample system for the standard instrument incorporates ¼ inch tube
fittings for sample inlet and outlet connections at the rear panel. For metric
system installations, 6 mm adapters are supplied with each instrument to be
used if needed. The sample or calibration gas flowing through the system is
monitored by a flowmeter downstream from the cell.

2.4 Electronics and Signal Processing
The Model 3020T Trace Oxygen Analyzer uses an 8031 microcontrol-
ler with 32 kB of RAM and 128 kB of ROM to control all signal processing,
input/output, and display functions for the analyzer. System power is sup-
plied from a universal power supply module designed to be compatible with
most international power sources. See chapter 5 Maintenance for the location
of the power supply and the main electronic PC boards.
The signal processing electronics including the microprocessor, analog
to digital, and digital to analog converters are located on the motherboard at
the bottom of the case. The preamplifier board is mounted on top of the
motherboard as shown in the figure. These boards are accessible after re-
moving the access panel. Figure 2-5 is a block diagram of the Analyzer
electronics.

2 Operational Theory
Model 3020T
In the presence of oxygen the cell generates a current. A current to
voltage amplifier converts this current to a voltage, which is amplified in the
secondstageamplifier.
The second stage amplifier also supplies temperature compensation for
the oxygen sensor output. This amplifier circuit incorporates a thermistor,
which is physically located in the cell block. The thermistor is a temperature
dependent resistance that changes the gain of the amplifier in proportion to
the temperature changes in the block. This change is inversely proportional
to the change in the cell output due to the same temperature changes. The
result is a signal that is temperature independent. The output from the second
stage amplifier is sent to an 18 bit analog to digital converter controlled by
themicroprocessor.
The digital concentration signal along with input from the control panel
is processed by the microprocessor, and appropriate control signals are
directed to the display, alarms and communications port. The same digital
information is also sent to a 12 bit digital to analog converter that produces
the 4-20 mA dc and the 0-1 V dc analog concentration signal outputs, and
the analog range ID outputs.
Signals from the power supply are also monitored, and through the
microprocessor, the system failure alarm is activated if a malfunction is
detected.
2.5 Temperature Control
For accurate analysis this instrument is temperature controlled not to fall
beneath a certain temperature. This temperature is 22oF. This is to prevent
the sensor from freezing in cold environments.

For safe connections, ensure that no uninsulated wire extends outside of
the connectors they are attached to. Stripped wire ends must insert com-
pletely into terminal blocks. No uninsulated wiring should be able to come in
contact with fingers, tools or clothing during normal operation.
3.3.1 Primary Input Power
The universal power supply requires a 115 or 230 V ac, 50 or 60 Hz
power source. The actual input voltage used must show in the window of the
VOLTAGE SELECTOR switch before the power source is connected. See
Figure 3-4 for detailed connections.
DANGER: Power is applied to the instrument's circuitry as
long as the instrument is connected to the power
source. The Standby function switches power on or
off to the displays and outputs only.

3.3.2 Fuse Installation
The fuse holders accept 5 x 20 mm, 1.6 A, T type (slow blow) fuses.
Fuses are not installed at the factory. Be sure to install the proper fuse as part
of installation. (See Fuse Replacement in chapter 5, maintenance.)
3.3.3 Analog Outputs
There are eight DC output signal connectors on the ANALOG OUT-
PUTS connector block. There are two connectors per output with the polar-
ity noted. See Figure 3-5.

Figure 3-5: Analog Output Connections
The outputs are:
0–1 V dc % of Range: Voltage rises linearly with increasing oxygen, from
0 V at 0 ppm to 1 V at full scale ppm. (Full scale =
100% of programmable range.)
0–1 V dc Range ID:
0.25 V = Low Range, 0.5 V = Medium Range,
0.75 V = High Range, 1 V = Air Cal Range.
4–20 mA dc % Range: Current increases linearly with increasing oxygen,
from 4 mA at 0 ppm to 20 mA at full scale ppm.
(Full scale = 100% of programmable range.)
4–20 mA dc Range ID: 8 mA = Low Range, 12 mA = Medium Range, 16
mA = High Range, 20 mA = Air Cal Range.
Examples:
The analog output signal has a voltage which depends on the oxygen
concentration AND the currently activated analysis range. To relate the
signal output to the actual concentration, it is necessary to know what range
the instrument is currently on, especially when the analyzer is in the
autorangingmode.
The signal output for concentration is linear over the currently selected
analysis range. For example, if the analyzer is set on a range that was defined
as 0–100 ppm O2, then the output would be as shown in Table 3-1.

3.3.4 Alarm Relays
There are three alarm-circuit connectors on the alarm relays block
(under RELAY OUTPUTS) for making connections to internal alarm relay
contacts. Each provides a set of Form C contacts for each type of alarm.
Each has both normally open and normally closed contact connections. The
contact connections are indicated by diagrams on the connector panel. They
are capable of switching up to 3 amperes at 250 V ac into a resistive load.
See Figure 3-6.

3.3.5 Digital Remote Cal Inputs
Remote Zero and Span Inputs: The REMOTE SPAN and RE-
MOTE ZERO inputs are on the DIGITAL INPUT terminal block. They
accept 0 V (OFF) or 24 V dc (ON) for remote control of calibration. (See
Remote Calibration Protocol below.)

3 Installation
Model 3020T
ZERO:
Floating input. 5 to 24 V input across the + and – terminals
puts the analyzer into the Zero mode. Either side may be
grounded at the source of the signal. 0 to 1 volt across the
terminals allows Zero mode to terminate when done. A
synchronous signal must open and close the external zero
valve appropriately. See 3.3.9 Remote Sensor and Solenoid
Valves. (With the –C option, the internal valves automatically
operatesynchronously.)
SPAN:
Floating input. 5 to 24 V input across the + and – terminals
puts the analyzer into the Span mode. Either side may be
grounded at the source of the signal. 0 to 1 volt across the
terminals allows Span mode to terminate when done. A
synchronous signal must open and close the external span
valve appropriately. See 3.3.9 Remote Sensor and Solenoid
Valves. (With the –C option, the internal valves automatically
operatesynchronously.)
Cal Contact: This relay contact is closed while analyzer is spanning
and/or zeroing. (See Remote Calibration Protocol below.)
Remote Calibration Protocol: To properly time the Digital Remote
Cal Inputs to the Model 3020T Analyzer, the customer's controller must
monitor the CAL CONTACT relay.
When the contact is OPEN, the analyzer is analyzing, the Remote Cal
Inputs are being polled, and a zero or span command can be sent.
When the contact is CLOSED, the analyzer is already calibrating. It
will ignore your request to calibrate, and it will not remember that request.
Once a zero or span command is sent, and acknowledged (contact
closes), release it. If the command is continued until after the zero or span is
complete, the calibration will repeat and the Cal Relay Contact (CRC) will
closeagain.
Forexample:
1) Test the CRC. When the CRC is open, Send a zero command
until the CRC closes (The CRC will quickly close.)
2) When the CRC closes, remove the zero command.
3) When CRC opens again, send a span command until the CRC
closes. (The CRC will quickly close.)
4) When the CRC closes, remove the span command.
When CRC opens again, zero and span are done, and the sample is
being analyzed.

Note: The remote probe connections (paragraph 3.3.9) provide
signals to ensure that the zero and span gas valves will be
controlled synchronously. If you have the –C Internal valve
option—which includes additional zero and span gas inputs—
the 3020T automatically regulates the zero, span and sample
gas flow.
3.3.6 Range ID Relays
There are four dedicated RANGE ID CONTACT relays. The first
three ranges are assigned to relays in ascending order—Low range is as-
signed to RANGE 1 ID, Medium range is assigned to RANGE 2 ID, and
High range is assigned to RANGE 3 ID. RANGE 4 ID is reserved for the
Air Cal Range (25%).
3.3.7 NetworkI/O
A serial digital input/output for local network protocol. At this printing,
this port is not yet functional. It is to be used in future versions of the instru-

3.3.8 RS-232 Port
The digital signal output is a standard RS-232 serial communications
port used to connect the analyzer to a computer, terminal, or other digital
device. The pinouts are listed in Table 3-3.

The 3020T is a single-chassis instrument, which has its own sensor and,
in the –C option, its own gas-control solenoid valves. The REMOTE SEN-
SOR connector is not used, and the SOLENOID RETURN connectors are
used (without the –C option) to synchronize external gas control valves, if
desired. See Figure 3-7.

The voltage from these outputs is nominally 0 V for the OFF and
15 V dc for the ON conditions. The maximum combined current that can be
pulled from these output lines is 100 mA. (If two lines are ON at the same
time, each must be limited to 50 mA, etc.) If more current and/or a different
voltage is required, use a relay, power amplifier, or other matching circuitry
to provide the actual driving current.
In addition, each individual line has a series FET with a nominal ON
resistance of 5 ohms (9 ohms worst case). This could limit the obtainable
voltage, depending on the load impedance applied. See Figure 3-8.

3.4 Installing the Micro-Fuel Cell
The Micro-Fuel Cell is not installed in the cell block when the
instrument is shipped. It must be installed before the analyzer is placed in
service.
Once it is expended, or if the cell is exposed to air for too long, the
Micro-Fuel Cell will need to be replaced. The cell could also require replace-
ment if the instrument has been idle for too long.

When the micro-Fuel Cell needs to be installed or replaced, follow the
procedures in chapter 5, Maintenance, for removing and installing cells.
3.5 Gas Connections
Before using this instrument, it should be determined if the unit will be
used for pressurized service or vacuum service and low pressure applica-
tions. Inspect the restrictor kit that came with the unit. The kit consist of two
restrictors and a union for 1/4” diameter tubing. Notice that the two 1 3/4”
long, 1/4” diameter tubing are restrictors. It has an open end and a closed
end with a small circular orifice. The restrictor without the blue sticker is for
;ow pressure and vacuum service. For high pressure (2 to 50 psig) applica-
tions, use the restrictor that has a blue sticker on the body.
For pressurized service, use the restrictor without the blue dot and union
from the restrictor kit and attach it to the Sample In port. The small circular
orifice should face away from the back of the unit (against the direction of
gas flow). Use the restrictor without the blue dot sticker in the same manner
for low pressure applications (less than 5 psig).
For vacuum service (5-10 in Hg), use the restrictor without the blue dot
sticker and union but attach it to the Exhaust Out port. The small circular
orifice should face toward the back of the unit (against the direction of gas
flow).
Remove the blue sticker from the restrictor before using.
WARNING:
Operating the unit without restrictors can cause damage to t
the micro-fuel cell.
Figure 3-9 is an illustration of the Gas Connector Panel. Optional gas
connections are shown in a shaded block.
The unit is manufactured with 1/4 inch tube fittings only. Adapters must
be used for metric tubing. (At least 6 mm is recommended.)
For a safe connection:
1. Insert the tube into the tube fitting, and finger-tighten the nut until
the tubing cannot be rotated freely, by hand, in the fitting. (This
may require an additional 1/8 turn beyond finger-tight.)
2. Hold the fitting body steady with a backup wrench, and with
another wrench rotate the nut another 11/4 turns.

Figure 3-9: Gas Connector Panel
SAMPLE IN: In the standard model, gas connections are made at the
SAMPLE IN and EXHAUST OUT connections. Calibration gases must be
Tee'd into the Sample inlet with appropriate valves.
The gas pressure in should be reasonably regulated. Pressures between
3 and 40 psig are acceptable as long as the pressure, once established, will
keep the front panel flowmeter reading in an acceptable range (0.1 to 2.4
SLPM). Exact figures will depend on your process.
If greater flow is required for improved response time, install a bypass
in the sampling system upstream of the analyzer input.
Note: If the unit is for vacuum service, the above numbers apply
instead to the vacuum at the EXHAUST OUT connector, de-
scribed below, with minus signs before the pressure readings.
ZERO IN and SPAN IN: These are additional ports for inputting span
gas and zero gas. There are electrically operated valves inside for automatic
switching between sample and calibration gases. These valves are com-
pletely under control of the 3020T Electronics. They can be externally
controlled only indirectly through the Remote Cal Inputs, described below.
Pressure, flow, and safety considerations are the same as prescribed for
the SAMPLE IN inlet, above.
EXHAUST OUT: 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.

4.1 Introduction
Once the analyzer has been installed, it can be configured for your
application. To do this you will:
•
Establish and start an automatic calibration cycle, if desired.
(Electricallyoperatedvalvesrequired.)
•
Define the three user selectable analysis ranges. Then choose
autoranging or select a fixed range of analysis, as required.
•
•
Calibratetheinstrument.
Set alarm setpoints, and modes of alarm operation (latching,
failsafe,etc).
•
Establish a security password, if desired, requiring Operator to
log in.
Before you configure your 3020T these default values are in effect:
Ranges: LO = 100 ppm, MED = 1000 ppm, HI = 10,000 ppm.
Auto Ranging: ON
Alarm Relays: Defeated, 1000 ppm, HI, Not failsafe, Not latching.
Zero: Auto, every 0 days at 0 hours.
Span: Auto, at 209,000 ppm, every 0 days at 0 hours.
If you choose not to use password protection, the default password is
displayed on the VFD screen only if you have entered the logout or pass-
word function, as explained later. Then, you must enter the default password
foraccess.
4.2 Using the Controls

options(menu).
The item that is between arrows on the screen is the item that is cur-
rentlyselectablebychoosingENTER(turn-and-releasetowardENTER with
theESCAPE/ENTERcontrol).
In these instructions, to ENTER means to turn-and-release toward
ENTER, and To ESCAPE means to turn-and-release towards ESCAPE. To
scroll UP (or scroll DOWN) means to turn-and-release toward UP (or
DOWN) as many times as necessary to reach the required menu item.
4.2.1 Mode/Function Selection
When the analyzer is first powered up, and has completed its initializa-
tion and self diagnostics, ESCAPE toggles the instrument between the
ANALYZE screen (Analysis Mode) and the MAIN MENU screen (Setup
Mode). The ANALYZE screen is the only screen of the Analysis Mode.
The MAIN MENU screen is the top level in a series of screens used in
the Setup Mode to configure the analyzer for the specific application. The
DOWN/UP commands scroll through the options displayed on the VFD
screen. The selectable option appears between arrows. When you reach the
desired option by scrolling, ENTER the selection as described below.
ESCAPE takes you back up the hierarchy of screens until you reach the
MAIN MENU again. ESCAPING any further just toggles between the
MAIN MENU and the ANALYZE screen.
4.2.1.1 Analysis Mode
This is the normal operating mode. The analyzer monitors the oxygen
content of the sample, displays the percent of oxygen, and warns of any
alarm conditions. Either control switches you to Setup Mode. Setup Mode
switches back to Analyze Mode if no controls are used for more than 5 s.
4.2.1.2 Setup Mode
The MAIN MENU consists of 11 functions you can use to customize
the operations of the analyzer. Figure 4-1 shows the functions available with
the Model 3020T. They are listed here with brief descriptions:

restrictions have been assigned. (Password assignment is explained further
on.)
All of these functions are described in greater detail in the procedures
starting in section 4.3. The VFD screen texts used to illustrate the procedures
are reproduced in a Monospaced type style.
4.2.2 Data Entry
4.2.2.1 ENTER
When the item you want from the VFD screen appears between the
arrows on the VFD screen, ENTER it using the ESCAPE/ENTER control.
When the selected option is a function or subfunction, ENTER moves
to the VFD screen for that function or subfunction.
When the selected option is a modifiable item, the DOWN/UP control
can be used to increment or decrement that modifiable item to the value or
action you want. Then you ENTER the item.
ENTER then puts you into the next field to continue programming. If
the screen is completed, ENTER takes you to the next screen in the process,
or if the process is completed, ENTER takes you back to the ANALYZE
screen.
4.2.2.2 ESCAPE
If you do not wish to continue a function, you can abort the session
with a turn-and-release toward ESCAPE. Escaping a function takes the
analyzer back to the previous screen, or to the ANALYZE Function, depend-
ing on the function escaped.

4.3 The AUTO-CAL Function
When proper automatic valving is connected (see chapter 3, installa-
tion), the Analyzer can cycle itself through a sequence of steps that automati-
cally zero and span the instrument.
Note: If you require highly accurate AUTO-CAL timing, use external
AUTO-CAL control where possible. The internal clock in the
Model 3020T is accurate to 2-3 %. Accordingly, internally
scheduled calibrations can vary 2-3 % per day.
To setup an AUTO-CAL cycle:
Scroll to AUTO-CAL, and ENTER. A new screen for Span/Zero set
appears.
Span OFF Nxt: 0d 0h
Zero OFF Nxt: 0d 0h
If SPAN (or ZERO) is not between the arrows, scroll with DOWN/UP
control to SPAN (or ZERO), then ENTER. (You won’t be able to set OFF to
ON if a zero interval is entered.) A Span Every ... (or Zero Every ...)
screenappears.
Span Every 0 d
Start 0 h from now
Use DOWN/UP control to set an interval value, and ENTER. Then use
DOWN/UP to set a start-time value, and ENTER.
To turn ON the Span and/or Zero cycles (to activate AUTO-CAL):
Scroll to Auto—Cal, and ENTER it again.
Span OFF Nxt: 0d 0h
Zero OFF Nxt: 0d 0h
When the Span/Zero values screen appears, use the scroll DOWN to
blink the OFF/ON field of the SPAN (or ZERO) function. Use DOWN/UP
to set the OFF/ON field to ON. You can now turn these fields ON because
there is a nonzero span interval defined.
4.4 The PWD (Password) Function
Security can be established by choosing a 5 digit password from the
standard ASCII character set. If you decide NOT to employ password
security, use the default password TETAI. This password will be displayed
automatically by the microprocessor. The operator just ENTERs it to be
allowed total access to the instrument’s features.

Once a unique password is assigned and activated, the operator MUST
enter the UNIQUE password to gain access to any of the set-up functions
(except to enter the password). However, the instrument will continue to
analyze sample gas and report on alarm conditions without entering the
password.
•
•
Only one password can be defined.
After a password is assigned, the operator must log out to
activate it. Until then, anyone can continue to operate the
instrument without entering the new password.
•
To defeat the security after a unique password is activated, the
password must be changed back to TETAI.
NOTE: If you use password security, it is advisable to keep a copy of
the password in a separate, safe location.
4.4.1 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, issuing the ENTER command will enter the default TETAI pass-
word for you.
Scroll to PWD, and ENTER to select the password function. Either the
TETAI default password or AAAAA place-holder password for an existing
password will appear on screen depending on whether or not a password has
beenpreviouslyinstalled.

4.7 The SELF-TEST Function
The Model 3020T has a built-in self-testing diagnostic routine. Prepro-
grammed signals are sent through the power supply, output board and sensor
circuit. The return signal is analyzed, and at the end of the test the status of each
function is displayed on the screen, either as OK or as a number between 1 and
3. (See System Self Diagnostic Test in chapter 5 for number code.)
The self diagnostics are run automatically by the analyzer whenever the
instrument is turned on, but the test can also be run by the operator at will. To
initiate SELF-TEST during operation:
Use the DOWN/UP control to scroll through the MAIN MENU to SELF-
TEST. The screen will follow the running of the diagnostic.

Although the instrument can be spanned using air, a span gas with a
known oxygen concentration in the range of 70–90% of full scale of the
range of interest is recommended. Since the oxygen concentration in air is
209,000 ppm, the cell can take a long time to recover if the instrument is
used for trace oxygen analysis immediately following calibration in air.
Connect the calibration gases to the analyzer according to the instruc-
tions given in section 3.5, Gas Connections, observing all the prescribed
precautions.
Shut off the gas pressure before connecting it to the analyzer, and
be sure to limit the pressure to 40 psig or less when turning it back on.
Readjust the gas pressure into the analyzer until the flowrate (as read on
the analyzer’s SLPM flowmeter) settles between 0.5 and 2.4 SLPM (ap-
proximately1-5scfh).
If you are using password protection, you will need to enter your
password to gain access to either of these functions. Follow the instructions
in section 4.4 to enter your password. Once you have gained clearance to
proceed, you can ENTER the ZERO or SPAN function.
4.8.1 Zero Cal
The ZERO function on the MAIN MENU is used to enter the zero
calibration function. Zero calibration can be performed in either the auto-
matic or manual mode. In the automatic mode, an internal algorithm com-
pares consecutive readings from the sensor to determine when the output is
within the acceptable range for zero. In the manual mode, the operator
determines when the reading is within the acceptable range for zero.
Make sure the zero gas is connected to the instrument.
If you get a CELL FAILURE message skip to section 4.8.1.3.

Before replacing the cell:
a. Check for leaks downstream from the cell, where oxygen may be
leaking into the system.
b. Check your span gas to make sure it is within specifications.
c. If there are no leaks and the span gas is OK, replace the cell as
described in chapter 5, Maintenance.
d. After correcting the condition, reset the Cell Fail Alarm by taking
the analyzer into, and then back out of, STANDBY.
4.8.2 Span Cal
SPAN is used to span calibrate the analyzer. Span calibration can be
performed using the automatic mode, where an internal algorithm compares
consecutive readings from the sensor to determine when the output matches
the span gas concentration. Span calibration can also be performed in
manual mode, where the operator determines when the span concentration
reading is acceptable and manually exits the function.

4.9 The ALARMS Function
The Model 3020T is equipped with 2 fully adjustable concentration
alarms and a system failure alarm. Each alarm has a relay with a set of form
“C" contacts rated for 3 amperes resistive load at 250 V ac. See Figure in
Chapter 3, Installation and/or the Interconnection Diagram included at the
back of this manual for relay terminal connections.
The system failure alarm has a fixed configuration described in chapter
3Installation.
The concentration alarms can be configured from the front panel as
either high or low alarms by the operator. The alarm modes can be set as
latching or non-latching, and either failsafe or non-failsafe, or, they can be
defeated altogether. The setpoints for the alarms are also established using
thisfunction.
Decide how your alarms should be configured. The choice will depend
upon your process. Consider the following four points:
1. Which if any of the alarms are to be high alarms, and which if
any are to be low alarms?
Setting an alarm as HIGH triggers the alarm when the oxygen
concentration rises above the setpoint. Setting an alarm as LOW
triggers the alarm when the oxygen concentration falls below the
setpoint.
Decide whether you want the alarms to be set as:
•
•
•
Both high (high and high-high) alarms, or
One high and one low alarm, or
Both low (low and low-low) alarms.
2. Are either or both of the alarms to be configured as failsafe?
In failsafe mode, the alarm relay de-energizes in an alarm
condition. For non-failsafe operation, the relay is energized in an
alarm condition. You can set either or both of the concentration
alarms to operate in failsafe or non-failsafe mode.
3. Are either of the alarms to be latching?
In latching mode, once the alarm or alarms trigger, they will
remain in the alarm mode even if process conditions revert back

Trace Oxygen Analyzer
Operation 4
to non-alarm conditions. This mode requires an alarm to be
recognized before it can be reset. In the non-latching mode, the
alarm status will terminate when process conditions revert to non-
alarmconditions.
4. Are either of the alarms to be defeated?
The defeat alarm mode is incorporated into the alarm circuit so
that maintenance can be performed under conditions which
would normally activate the alarms.
The defeat function can also be used to reset a latched alarm.
(See procedures, below.)
If you are using password protection, you will need to enter your
password to access the alarm functions. Follow the instructions in section 4.4
to enter your password. Once you have clearance to proceed, ENTER the
ALARM function.

4.10 The RANGE Function
The RANGE function allows the operator to program up to three
concentration ranges to correlate with the DC analog outputs. If no ranges
are defined by the user, the instrument defaults to:
Low = 0–100 ppm
Med = 0–1,000 ppm
High = 0–10,000 ppm.
The Model 3020T is set at the factory to default to autoranging. In this
mode, themicroprocessorautomaticallyrespondstoconcentrationchanges
by switching ranges for optimum readout sensitivity. If the current range
limits are exceeded, the instrument will automatically shift to the next higher
range. If the concentration falls to below 85% of full scale of the next lower
range, the instrument will switch to that range. A corresponding shift in the
DC percent-of-range output, and in the range ID outputs, will be noticed.
The autoranging feature can be overridden so that analog output stays
on a fixed range regardless of the oxygen concentration detected. If the
concentration exceeds the upper limit of the range, the DC output will
saturate at 1 V dc (20 mA at the current output).
However, the digital readout and the RS-232 output of the concentra-
tion are unaffected by the fixed range. They continue to read accurately with
full precision. See Front Panel description in Chapter 1.
The automatic air calibration range is always 0-25 % and is not pro-
grammable.
4.10.1 Setting the Analog Output Ranges
To set the ranges, ENTER the RANGE function mode by selecting
RANGE from the MAIN MENU. The RANGE screen appears.

Use the DOWN/UP control to enter the upper value of the range (all
ranges begin at 0 ppm). Repeat for each range you want to set. ENTER to
accept the values and return to the Analysis Mode. (See note below.)
Note: The ranges must be increasing from low to high, for example,
if range 1 is set as 0–100 ppm and range 2 is set as 0–1,000
ppm, range 3 cannot be set as 0–500 ppm since it is lower than
range 2.
Ranges, alarms, and spans are always set in ppm units (over the entire
0-250,000 ppm range), even though all concentration-data outputs change
from ppm units to percent when the concentration is above 10,000 ppm.
After defining your analysis ranges, set Mode– to either AUTO or one
of the fixed ranges, as described below.
4.10.2 Fixed Range Analysis
The autoranging mode of the instrument can be overridden, forcing the
analyzer DC outputs to stay in a single predetermined range.
To switch from autoranging to fixed range analysis, ENTER the
RANGE function by selecting RANGE from the MAIN MENU.
Use the DOWN/UP control to move AUTO between the arrows.
Use the DOWN/UP control to switch from AUTO to FX/LO, FX/MED,
or FX/HI to set the instrument on the desired fixed range (low, medium, or
high).

Trace Oxygen Analyzer
Operation 4
4.13 The Analysis Mode
This is the normal operating mode of the analyzer. In this mode the
analyzer is monitoring the sample, measuring and displaying the amount of
oxygen, and reporting alarm conditions.
Normally, all of the functions automatically switch back to the Analysis
Mode ANALYZE screen when they have completed their assigned opera-
tions. After four or five minutes in the MAIN MENU without any action by
the operator, the analyzer automatically switches itself back to the ANA-
LYZE screen. ESCAPE, asserted one or more times, depending on the
starting point, also switches the analyzer back to the ANALYZE screen.
IMPORTANT:In the event of loss of flow through the analyzer, if the
vent is vented to a location of high oxygen content,
oxygen will back diffuse through the vent line and in
most cases quickly saturate the cell with oxygen which
can then require a quite long purge down time for the
sensor when then exposed to low oxygen concentra-
tions. In the event that flow is to be interrupted into the
analyzer, it is suggested that the user do one of the
following:
1.
2.
Bag the sensor in nitrogen during this time
Install a shut off valve on the vent port of the ana-
lyzer or somewhere within the users sample system.

Maintenance 5
5.3.1 Storing and Handling Replacement Cells
To have a replacement cell available when it is needed, it is recom-
mended that one spare cell be purchased 9-10 months after commissioning
the 3020T, or shortly before the end of the cell's one year warranty period.
CAUTION: Do not stockpile cells. The warranty period starts on
the day of shipment.
The spare cell should be carefully stored in an area that is not subject to
large variations in ambient temperature (75 °F nominal) or to rough handling.
WARNING: THE SENSOR USED IN THE MODEL 3020T TRACE
OXYGEN ANALYZER USES ELECTROLYTES
WHICH CONTAIN TOXIC SUBSTANCES, MAINLY
LEAD AND POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE, THAT CAN
BE 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. IN CASE OF
EYE CONTACT, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH
WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. CALL PHYSI-
CIAN. (SEE APPENDIX, MATERIAL SAFETY DATA
SHEET.)
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, the cell will
require an excessively long time to reach zero after
installation(1-2weeks!).
5.3.2 When to Replace a Cell
The characteristics of the Micro-Fuel Cell show an almost constant
output throughout its useful life and then fall off sharply towards zero at the
end. Cell failure in the 3020T is usually characterized inability to zero the
instrument down to a satisfactorily low ppm reading. When this occurs, the
3020T system alarm trips, and the screen displays a failure message.

Model 3020T
Before replacing the cell:
a. Check your span gas to make sure it is within specifications.
b. Check for leaks downstream from the cell, where oxygen may be
leaking into the system.
If there are no leaks and the span gas is OK, replace the cell.
5.3.3 Removing the Micro-Fuel Cell
The Micro-Fuel Cell is located inside the stainless steel cell block
behind the front panel (see Figure 5-1). To remove an existing cell:
1. Remove power to the instrument by unplugging the power cord
at the power source.
2. Open the front panel door by unbolting it and swinging it open
on its hinges.
3. Leave the cell block installed. Place one hand underneath the cell
block, ready to catch the cell holder and Micro-Fuel Cell.
4. 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.

5.3.4 Installing a New Micro-Fuel Cell
It is important to minimize the amount of time that a Teledyne Trace
Oxygen Sensor is exposed to air during the installation process. The quicker the
sensor can be installed into the unit, the faster your TAI O2 sensor will recover
to low O2 measurement. levels.
CAUTION: Do not touch the sensing surface of the cell. It is cov-
ered with a delicate Teflon membrane that can leak
when punctured. The sensor must be replaced if the
membrane is damaged.
Before installing a new cell, check the O-ring in the base of the cell holder.
Replace if worn or damaged.
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.
Step 1. Remove power from instrument.
Step 2. Remove the old sensor (if installed) from the analyzer.
Step 3. Purge the analyzer at approximately 1 SCFH flow rate with
N2 (or applicable sample gas with the sensor holder re-
moved).
Step 4. Remove sensor from double bag storage.
Step 5. Remove sensor shorting button.
Step 6. Place sensor on sensor holder so that the gold contact plate of
the sensor is facing up towards the sky.
Step 7. Install sensor and sensor holder into cell block.
Step 8. With O-ring in place, align the guide pin with the hole on the
cell holder. Then, with the holder, lift cell into the cell block.
Step 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-
tightseal.
Step 10. Purge system with sample or zero gas.
Step 11. Power-up.
If steps 4 through 10 are accomplished quickly (elapsed time less
than 15 seconds), recovery to less than 1ppm level should occur in
less than 8 hours.

Maintenance 5
5.3.5 Cell Warranty
The Class L-2C Micro-Fuel cell is used in the Model 3020T. This cell
is a long life cell and is warranted for 1 year from the date of shipment. If
any other cell is supplied with your instrument, check the front of this
manual for any special information applying to your cell.
With regard to spare cells, warranty period begins on the date of ship-
ment. The customer should purchase only one spare cell (per section 5.3.1).
Do not attempt to stockpile spare cells.
The L-2C cell is not designed for applications where CO2 is a
major component in the sample, however concentrations of 1,000 ppm or
less will not adversely effect the cell performance. Consult Analytic Instru-
ments for available options for either intermittent or continuous CO2 expo-
sure.
If a cell was working satisfactorily, but ceases to function before the
warranty period expires, the customer will receive credit toward the purchase
of a new cell.
If you have a warranty claim, you must return the cell in question to the
factory for evaluation. If it is determined that failure is due to faulty work-
manship or material, the cell will be replaced at no cost to you.
Note: Evidence of damage due to tampering or mishandling will
render the cell warranty null and void.
5.4 Fuse Replacement
The 3020T requires two 5 x 20 mm, 4 A, T type (Slow Blow) fuses.
The fuses are located inside the explosion proof housing on the Electrical
Connector Panel, as shown in Figure 5-2. To replace a fuse:
1. Disconnect the Unit from its power source.
2. Place a small screwdriver in the notch in the fuse holder cap,
push in, and rotate 1/4 turn. The cap will pop out a few
millimeters. Pull out the fuse holder cap and fuse, as shown in
Figure 5-3.
