Trace Oxygen Analyzer
Operational Theory
Operational Theory
2.1 Introduction
The analyzer is composed of three subsystems:
1. The zirconium oxide (ZrO2) sensor with a 0-25%
analysis range
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 ZrO2 sensor is a device that translates the
amount of oxygen present in the sample into a voltage output. 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 ZrO2 Sensor
2.2.1 Principles of Operation
The zirconium oxide (ZrO2) sensor is a solid state sensor. It is a
voltage device with a logarithmic response. The sensor uses a stabilized
zirconia disc as an electrolyte with a sensing electrode (the cathode) and
a counter electrode (the anode) on each side of the disc and contains a
thermocouple. The sensor is designed to have a small sample of the
unknown gas passed inside the sensor tube. Air (20.95% oxygen)
surrounds the outside of the tube. A heater is mounted around the sensor
to keep the sensor hot. The sensor construction is shown in Figure 2.1.
CAUTION:
THE SENSOR IS HOT. DO NOT TOUCH THE SENSOR
OR ALLOW FLAMMABLE MATERIAL TO COME IN
CONTACT WITH THE ASSEMBLY.
Teledyne Analytical Instruments
7
Operational Theory
3000ZA2G
THE SENSOR ASSEMBLY REMAINS HOT EVEN IN
STANDBY MODE. REMOVE POWER FROM THE
INSTRUMENT AND ALLOW SENSOR TO COOL FOR
TWO HOURS BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
MAINTENANCE ON THE SENSOR.
The heater control is a time proportioning temperature controller
that maintains the thermocouple junction at the sensor operating
temperature of 575°C (1070°F).
When exposed to different oxygen partial pressures at the outside
and inside of the sensor, an EMF (E) is developed which obeys the
Nernst equation:
E (mV)
P Inside
RT
log e O2
4F
P
Ouside
O2
Where T is the temperature (K) at the zirconia disc, R is the gas
constant, F is the Faraday constant and (PO2) Inside and (PO2) Outside
are the oxygen partial pressures at the inner and outer electrodes,
respectively, with the higher oxygen partial pressure electrode being
positive.
When dry air at atmospheric pressure, (21% oxygen) is used as a
reference gas at the inner electrode, the following equations are
obtained:
0.21
E (mV) 2.154 x10 2 T log e
PO2 Ouside
Transposing this equation:
%O 2 Outside (Atm) 0.21exp 46.421E
T
The analyzer solves this equation, which is valid above the
minimum operating temperature.
The oxygen sensor assembly provides a means of exposing the
zirconia sensor to the atmosphere to be measured on the inside of the
sensor while maintaining air as a reference gas at atmospheric pressure
on the outside of the sensor.
Teledyne Analytical Instruments
8
Trace Oxygen Analyzer
Operational Theory
The sensor offset voltage changes with sample flowrate as shown in
Figure 2-1. Assuming that the environment remains constant and within
the specifications of the sensor, the difference in offset voltage between
a flowing reference gas at 200 ml/min and at 0 ml/min is nearly constant
over the operating range of sample flowrates (100-300 ml/min). This
offset is removed during calibration assuming that the sample flowrate
used in calibration is the same as the process flow. Hence the analyzer
can be used without a flowing reference gas during operation with only a
marginal degradation in performance. For best performance, a flowing
reference should be used.
Figure 2-1: Sensor Offset Voltage
The sensor assembly also provides the means of maintaining the
sensor operating temperature by surrounding the sensor tube with a
heater element, and measuring the temperature of the zirconia disc with
a thermocouple inside the sensor. (See Figure 2.2).
The logarithmic output of the sensor depends therefore on the
partial pressure of the oxygen in the sample gas.
The non-linear output is linearized by the system software and a
linear output signal is generated and used by the DAC circuit to produce
the requisite output signals.

Figure 2-2: Zirconia Sensor Assembly
2.3 Sample System
The sample system delivers gases to the ZrO2 sensor from the
analyzer rear panel inlet. Depending on the mode of operation either
sample or calibration gas is delivered.
The Model 3000ZA2G 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 system for the standard instrument incorporates 1/8”
tube fittings for sample inlet and outlet at the rear panel. The sample or
calibration gas that flows through the system is monitored by a
flowmeter downstream from the cell.
Figure 2-3 shows the flow diagram. Shaded portions of the diagram
pertain to instruments with other options as listed. In the standard
instrument, calibration gases can be connected directly to the Sample In
port by teeing to the port with appropriate valves.

2.4 Zirconium Oxide Sensor Application Notes
The following sample gases require conditioning prior to entering
the sensors:
Flammable gases such as methane, alcohol and carbon
monoxide may cause a measurement error. They must be
filtered from the sample gas before entering the cell.
Gases containing halogen atoms (F, Cl, Br, etc.) such as
Freon, must be filtered before entering the cell. The sensor
will be damaged by the decomposition of Freon.
Gases containing SOx, H2S, silicone vapor and adhesives
must not enter the sensor. These components adversely affect
the performance of the sensor.
Dust and oil should be filtered from the sample gas.
Water vapor in contact with the sensor will damage the
sensor. Use a moisture trap or filter to remove any water
vapor in the sample.
2.5 Electronics and Signal Processing
The Model 3000ZA2G Trace Oxygen Analyzer uses an 8031
microcontroller 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 (110/230 VAC) is user selectable from an internal switch.
It is set at the factory for your specific requirement. Figure 2-4 shows the
location of the power supply and the main electronic PC boards.
The signal processing electronics including the microprocessor,
analog to digital (ADC), and digital to analog (DAC) 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.
Teledyne Analytical Instruments
11
Operational Theory
3000ZA2G
These boards are accessible after removing the enclosure cover. Figure
2-5 is a block diagram of the analyzer electronics.
In the presence of oxygen the zirconia sensor generates a
logarithmic response in the mV range and is passed to an amplifier. The
output from the amplifier is sent to an 18 bit analog to digital converter
controlled by the microprocessor.
The high operating temperature of the ZrO2 sensor is required for
proper operation of the sensor. The amplifier PCB contains a circuit that
drives the heater embedded in the sensor. The voltage across the heater
rises slowly to avoid damaging the heater/sensor assembly. After a few
minutes, the sensor will be at the proper operating temperature.
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
digital information representing the output from the sensor is linearized
by the Model 3000ZA2G software and passed to a 12 bit digital to
analog converter that produces the 4-20 mADC and the 0-1 VDC 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.

3.3.1 Gas Connections
All gas and exhaust connections are made to the labeled 1/4” tube
fittings (6 mm adapters for metric system installations are available) on
the rear panel. The rear panel connections are different between the
standard unit and one which includes the auto calibration option. For
safe connections:
1. Insert the tube into the 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. Using
another wrench, rotate the nut another 1-1/4 turns.
SAMPLE IN:
In the standard model, gas connections are made at the SAMPLE IN and
EXHAUST OUT connections. Calibration gases must tee into the sample
inlet with appropriate valves (not supplied).
The inlet gas pressure should be reasonably regulated. Pressures
between 2 and 50 psig are acceptable as long as the pressure, once
established, will keep the front panel flowmeter reading in the
acceptable range.
Use the sample flow control valve on the front panel to adjust the
flow rate to within the acceptable range of 0.1-0.3 SLPM.
If greater sample flow is required for improved response time,
install a bypass in the sampling system upstream of the analyzer input.
SAMPLE VENT:
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.
REF IN/OUT:
Flowing air reference. Air must be clean, dry, and free of hydrocarbons.
Use the reference flow control valve on the front panel to adjust the flow
rate to within the acceptable range of 0.1-0.2 SLPM.
Note: It is possible to use the instrument without a flowing
reference however doing so will result in a marginal
reduction in performance and is not recommended for best
performance.

Installation
3000ZA2G
ZERO IN and SPAN IN (Auto Calibration Option):
With the auto calibration option there are additional ports for span and
zero gas connections. The auto calibration module uses electrically
operated valves for automatic switching between calibration and sample
gases. These valves are completely under control of the 3000ZA2G
electronics. They can also be externally controlled indirectly through the
remote cal inputs as described below.
Pressure, flow, and safety considerations are the same as prescribed for
the SAMPLE IN inlet above.
3.3.2 Calibration Gas
The Model 3000ZA2G will require periodic calibration on known
gases for maintaining the specified accuracy. Both zero and span
calibrations are required. Air (20.9% O2) must be used for the zero gas.
For span gas requirements, see Section 4.4. These gases must be
supplied to the instrument at the same pressure and flow as the sample
gas.
3.3.3 Electrical Connections
For safe connections, no uninsulated wiring should be able to come
in contact with fingers, tools or clothing during normal operation.
CAUTION:
USE SHIELDED CABLES. ALSO, USE PLUGS THAT
PROVIDE EXCELLENT EMI/RFI PROTECTION. THE
PLUG CASE MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE CABLE
SHIELD, AND IT MUST BE TIGHTLY FASTENED TO
THE ANALYZER WITH ITS FASTENING SCREWS.
ULTIMATELY, IT IS THE INSTALLER WHO ENSURES
THAT THE CONNECTIONS PROVIDE ADEQUATE
EMI/RFI SIELDING.
3.3.3.1 PRIMARY INPUT POWER
The power cord receptacle and fuse block are located in the same
assembly. Insert the power cord into the power cord receptacle.
CAUTION:
POWER IS APPLIED TO THE INSTRUMENT'S
CIRCUITRY AS LONG AS THE SWITCH ON THE
REAR PANEL IS IN THE ON POSITION. THE RED
SWITCH ON THE FRONT PANEL IS FOR SWITCHING
POWER ON OR OFF TO THE DISPLAYS AND

Fuse Installation: The fuse block, at the right of the power cord
receptacle, accepts US or European size fuses. A jumper replaces the
fuse in whichever fuse receptacle is not used. 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.)
3.3.3.2 50-PIN EQUIPMENT INTERFACE CONNECTOR

Alarm Relays: The nine alarm-circuit connector pins connect to the
internal alarm relay contacts. Each set of three pins provides one set of
Form C relay contacts. Each relay has both normally open and normally
closed contact connections. The contact connections are shown in Table
3-2. They are capable of switching up to 3 amperes at 250 VAC into a
resistive load. The possible alarm configurations are as follows:
Threshold Alarm 1:
Can be configured as high (actuates when concentration is
above threshold), or low (actuates when concentration is
below threshold).
Can be configured as failsafe or non-failsafe.
Can be configured as latching or non-latching.
Can be configured out (defeated).
Threshold Alarm 2:
Can be configured as high (actuates when concentration is
above threshold), or low (actuates when concentration is
below threshold).
Can be configured as failsafe or non-failsafe.
Can be configured as latching or non-latching.
Can be configured out (defeated).

Digital Remote Cal Inputs: Accept 0 V (off) or 24 VDC (on) inputs for
remote control of calibration. (See Remote Calibration Protocol below).
See Table 3-3 for pin connections.
Zero: Floating input. 5 to 24 V input across the + and – pins 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
Remote Probe Connector. (The –C option internal valves
operate automatically.)

Cal Contact
Remote Calibration Protocol: To properly time the Digital Remote Cal
Inputs to the Model 3000ZA2G Analyzer, the customer's controller must
monitor the Cal Relay Contact.
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 close again.
For example:
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.
Teledyne Analytical Instruments
22
Trace Oxygen Analyzer
Installation
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 Valve connections (described below) provides
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 3000ZA2G automatically regulates the zero,
span and sample gas flow.
Range ID Relays: There are four dedicated Range ID relay contacts. The
first three ranges are assigned to relays in ascending order—Low range is
assigned to Range 1 ID, Medium range is assigned to Range 2 ID, and
High range is assigned to Range 3 ID. Table 3-4 lists the pin connections.

functional. It is to be used for future options to the instrument.
Remote Valve Connections: The 3000ZA2G is a single-chassis
instrument, which has no Remote Valve Unit. Instead, the Remote Valve
connections are used as a method for directly controlling external
sample/zero/span gas valves. See Figure 3-5.

The voltage from these outputs is nominally 0 V for the OFF and
15 VDC 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 can limit the
obtainable voltage, depending on the load impedance applied. See
Figure 3-6.

3.3.3.3 RS-232 PORT
The digital signal output is a standard, full duplex RS-232 serial
communications port used to connect the analyzer to a computer,
terminal, or other digital device. It requires a standard 9-pin D
connector.
The output data is status information, in digital form, updated every
two seconds. Status is reported in the following order:
The concentration in ppm or percent
The range in use (HI, MED, LO)
The span of the range (0-100 ppm, etc)
Which alarms—if any—are disabled (AL–x DISABLED)
Which alarms—if any—are tripped (AL–x ON).
Each status output is followed by a carriage return and line feed.
Three input functions using RS-232 have been implemented to

4.1 Introduction
Once the analyzer has been installed, it can be configured for your
application. To do this you will:
Set system parameters.
Establish a security password, if desired, requiring the
operator to log in.
Establish and start an automatic calibration cycle, if desired.
Calibrate the instrument.
Define the three user selectable analysis ranges, then choose
auto ranging or select a fixed range of analysis, as required.
Set alarm setpoints, and modes of alarm operation (latching,
failsafe, etc).
Before you configure your 3000ZA2G, these default values are in
effect:
Ranges:

4.2 Using the Data Entry and Function Buttons
Data Entry Buttons: The ◄►arrow buttons select options from
the menu currently being displayed on the VFD screen. The selected
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.
Figure 4-1 shows the hierarchy of functions available to the
operator via the function buttons. The six function buttons on the
analyzer are:
Analyze. 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.
System. The system function consists of six sub functions that
regulate the internal operations of the analyzer:
Auto-Cal setup
Password assignment
Self-Test initiation
Checking software version
Logging out
Display negative oxygen readings
Zero.
Used to set up a zero calibration. Zero calibration must
use air as the zero gas.
Span.
Used to set up a span calibration.
Alarms. Used to set the alarm setpoints and determine whether
each alarm will be active or defeated, HI or LO acting,
latching, and/or failsafe.
Range. Used to set up three analysis ranges that can be
switched automatically with auto-ranging or used as
individual fixed ranges.

4.3 The System Function
The sub functions of the System function are described below.
Specific procedures for their use follow the descriptions:
Auto-Cal: Used to define an automatic calibration sequence
and/or start an Auto-Cal.
Note: This function will have no effect if the auto calibration
option is not present.
PSWD: Security can be established by choosing a 5 digit
password (PSWD) from the standard ASCII character set.
(See Installing or Changing a Password, below, for a table of
ASCII characters available.) Once a unique password is
assigned and activated, the operator MUST enter the
UNIQUE password to gain access to set-up functions which
alter the instrument's operation, such as setting the instrument
span or zero setting, adjusting the alarm setpoints, or defining
analysis ranges.
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.
Only one password can be defined. Before a unique
password is assigned, the system assigns TAI by default. This
allows access to anyone. After a unique password is
assigned, to defeat the security, the password must be
changed back to TAI.
Logout: Logging out prevents an unauthorized tampering
with analyzer settings.
More: Select and enter More to get a new screen with
additional sub functions listed.
Self–Test: The instrument performs a self-diagnostic test to
check the integrity of the power supply, output boards and
amplifiers.
Version: Displays Manufacturer, Model, and Software
Version of the instrument.

TRAK/HLD: The operator sets whether the instrument
analog outputs track the concentration change during
calibration and sets a time delay for the concentration alarms
after calibration
4.3.1 Tracking Oxygen Readings During Calibration and
Alarm Delay
The user has the option of setting the preference as to whether the
analog outputs track the display readings during calibration or not. To
set the preference, press the System key once and the first System menu
will appear in the VFD display:
TRAK/HLD Auto-Cal
PSWD Logout More
TRAK/HLD should be blinking. To enter this system menu press
the Enter key once:
Output Sttng: TRACK
Alarm Dly: 10 min
or
Output Sttng: HOLD
Alarm Dly: 10 min
In the first line, TRACK or HOLD should be blinking. The
operator can toggle between TRACK and HOLD with the ▲/▼ keys.
When TRACK is selected, the analog outputs (0-1 VDC and 4-20 mA)
and the range ID contacts will track the instrument readings during
calibration (either zero or span). TRACK is the factory default.
When HOLD is selected, the analog outputs (0-1 VDC and 4-20
mA) and the range ID contacts will freeze on their last state before
entering one of the calibration modes. When the instrument returns to
the Analyze mode, either by a successful or an aborted calibration, there
Teledyne Analytical Instruments
31
Operation
3000ZA2G
will be a three-minute delay before the analog outputs and the range ID
contacts start tracking again.
The concentration alarms freeze on their last state before entering
calibration regardless of selecting HOLD or TRACK. But, when HOLD
is selected the concentration alarms will remain frozen for the time
displayed in the second line of the TRAK/HLD menu after the analyzer
returns to the Analyze mode.
The factory default is three minutes, but the delay time is programmable. To adjust to delay time use the ◄► arrow keys. When the time
displayed on the second line blinks, it can be adjusted by pressing the
▲/▼ keys to increase or decrease its value. The minimum delay is 1
minute, the maximum is 30.
This preference is stored in non-volatile memory so that it is
recovered if power is removed from the instrument.
4.3.2 Setting up an Auto-Cal
When proper automatic valving is connected (see Chapter 3,
Installation), the analyzer can cycle itself through a sequence of steps
that automatically 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 3000ZA2G is accurate to 2-3 %. Accordingly,
internally scheduled calibrations can vary 2-3 % per day.
To setup an Auto–Cal cycle:
Choose System from the Function buttons. The LCD will display
five sub functions.

4.4 The Zero and Span Functions
Note: A zero calibration is required for the zirconia sensor
installed in this instrument. Air must be used for the zero
gas. The Zero calibration will eliminate offset error
contributed by sensor, electronics, and internal and
external sampling system and maintain performance at the
published specification for this instrument.
The analyzer is calibrated using air for zero calibration and a
known concentration of oxygen in a suitable background gas for span
calibration.
The software in the Model 3000ZA2G assumes that air is used as
the zero gas and automatically sets the zero point of the instrument
based on the 20.9% oxygen concentration in air. Do not substitute
another gas for zero gas.
A known oxygen concentration in the range of 70–90% of full scale
of the range of interest is recommended for use as a span gas. The span
gas used must have a concentration greater than 7.0 ppm oxygen. When
70-90% of full scale is close to air concentration (e.g. 0-25% range), 0.11.0% O2 span gas is recommended.
Connect the calibration gases according to the instructions given in
Section 3.4.1, 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.
Adjust the needle valve on the front panel of the analyzer until the
flow rate (as read on the analyzer’s flowmeter) is 0.1-0.3 SLPM.
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 Sections 4.3.3 to enter your password. Once you have
gained clearance to proceed, you can enter the Zero or Span function.
4.4.1 Zero Cal
The Zero button on the front panel is used to enter the zero
calibration function. Zero calibration can be performed in either the
automatic or manual mode. In the automatic mode, an internal
Teledyne Analytical Instruments
40
Trace Oxygen Analyzer

algorithm compares 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 air is connected to the instrument. If you get a
CELL FAILURE message skip to Section 4.4.1.3.
4.4.1.1 AUTO MODE ZEROING
Press Zero to enter the zero function mode. The screen allows you
to select whether the zero calibration is to be performed automatically or
manually. Use the ▲/▼ arrow keys to toggle between AUTO and MAN

information on Slope (unless the Slope starts within the acceptable zero
range and does not need to settle further).
Then, and whenever Slope is less than 0.08 for at least 3 minutes,
instead of Slope you will see a countdown: 5 Left, 4 Left, and so forth.
These are five steps in the zeroing process that the system must
complete, AFTER settling, before it can go back to Analyze.
#### PPM Zero

4.4.2 Span Cal
The Span button on the front panel 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.
4.4.2.1 AUTO MODE SPANNING
Press Span to enter the span function. The screen that appears
allows you to select whether the span calibration is to be performed

Press Enter to enter the span value into the system and begin the
span calibration.
Once the span has begun, the microprocessor samples the output at
a predetermined rate. It calculates the difference between successive
samplings and displays this difference as Slope on the screen. It takes
several seconds for the first Slope value to display. Slope indicates rate
of change of the Span reading. It is a sensitive indicator of stability.

When the Span value displayed on the screen is sufficiently stable,
press Enter. (Generally, when the Span reading changes by 1% or less
of the full scale of the range being calibrated for a period of ten minutes
it is sufficiently stable.) Once Enter is pressed, the Span reading
changes to the correct value. The instrument then automatically enters
the Analyze function.
4.4.3 Span Failure
The analyzer checks the output of the sensor at the end of the span.
The output signal decreases approximately 50 mV per decade increase in
the oxygen concentration. The software analyzes the change in output
and will trigger a span failure message if it is found differ significantly
from the 50 mV/decade value. When this occurs, the span will not be
accepted. The analyzer will return to the previous calibration values and
trigger the System Alarm, and display in the VFD:
Span Failed!!
This message will be shown for five seconds and the instrument
will return to the Analyze mode. In the upper right hand corner of the
VFD display “FCAL” will be shown. This message flag will help the
operator troubleshoot in case calibration was initiated remotely. To reset
the alarm and the flag message, the unit must be turned off by cycling
the standby key . It will reset if the next span cycle is correct.
A typical cause for span failure is by feeding the wrong span gas
during calibration or entering the wrong value. It can also be triggered
by an electronics failure.
4.5 The Alarms Function
The Model 3000ZA2G 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
Teledyne Analytical Instruments
45
Operation
3000ZA2G
VAC. See Figure in Chapter 3, Installation and/or the Interconnection
Diagram included at the back of this manual for relay connections.
The system failure alarm has a fixed configuration described in
Chapter 3 Installation.
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 this function.
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 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- alarm conditions.
4. Are either of the alarms to be defeated?
The defeat alarm mode is incorporated into the alarm circuit
Teledyne Analytical Instruments
46
Trace Oxygen Analyzer
Operation
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 4.3.3 to enter your password. Once you have clearance to
proceed, enter the Alarm function.
Press the Alarm button on the front panel to enter the Alarm
function. Make sure that AL–1 is blinking.

Go to Ltch– and then press either ▲ two times or ▼ two times.
(Toggle it to N and back to Y.)
4.6 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 = 0–10 ppm
Med = 0–1,000 ppm
High = 0–250,000 ppm
The Model 3000ZA2G is set at the factory to default to auto
ranging. In this mode, the microprocessor automatically responds to
concentration changes 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 auto ranging 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 VDC (20 mA for the current output).
However, the digital readout and the RS-232 output of the
concentration 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 programmable.
Teledyne Analytical Instruments
48
Trace Oxygen Analyzer
Operation
4.6.1 Setting the Analog Output Ranges
To set the ranges, enter the range function mode by pressing the
Range button on the front panel.
L—10
M—1000
H—250000 Mode—AUTO
Use the ◄►arrow keys to blink the range to be set: low (L),
medium (M), or high (H).
Use the ▲/▼ arrow keys to enter the upper value of the range (all
ranges begin at 0 ppm). Repeat for each range you want to set. Press
Enter to accept the values and return to Analyze 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.
4.6.2 Fixed Range Analysis
The auto ranging mode of the instrument can be overridden, forcing
the analyzer DC outputs to stay in a single predetermined range.
To switch from auto ranging to fixed range analysis, enter the range
function by pressing the Range button on the front panel.
Use the ◄►arrow keys to move the blinking over AUTO.
Use the ▲/▼ arrow keys to switch from AUTO to FX/LO, FX/MED,
or FX/H I to set the instrument on the desired fixed range (low, medium,
or high).

Press Escape to re-enter the Analyze mode using the fixed range.
Note: When performing analysis on a fixed range, if the oxygen
concentration rises above the upper limit (or default value)
as established by the operator for that particular range, the
output saturates at 1 VDC (or 20 mA). However, the digital
readout and the RS-232 output continue to read the true
value of the oxygen concentration regardless of the analog
output range.
4.7 The Analyze Function
Normally, all of the functions automatically switch back to the
Analyze function when they have completed their assigned operations.
Pressing the Escape button in many cases also switches the analyzer
back to the Analyze function. Alternatively, you can press the Analyze
button at any time to return to analyzing your sample.
4.8 Signal Output
The standard Model 3000ZA2G Trace Oxygen Analyzer is
equipped with two 0–1 VDC analog output terminals accessible on the
back panel (one concentration and one range ID), and two isolated 4–20
mA DC current outputs (one concentration and one range ID).
See Rear Panel in Chapter 3, Installation, for illustration.
The signal output for concentration is linear over the currently
selected analysis range. For example, if the analyzer is set on range that
was defined as 0–100 ppm O2, then the output would be:

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 auto ranging mode.
To provide an indication of the range, a second pair of analog
output terminals is used. They generate a steady preset voltage (or
current when using the current outputs) to represent a particular range.
