Trace Oxygen Analyzer

Operation

 

 

 

4.4.3 Span Failure

The analyzer checks the output of the cell at the end of the span. If the raw output of the cell is less than 0.5 uA/ppm O2, the span will not be accepted. The analyzer will return to the previous calibration values, 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 trace cell is unlikely to fail span. As explained before, when the sensor reaches the end of its useful life, the zero offset begins to rise until the analyzer finds the zero unsatisfactory. Nevertheless, feeding the wrong span gas or electronics failure could set this feature off at the end of the span. Consider this before replacing the cell.

4.5 The Alarms Function

The Model 3000TA is equipped with 2 fully adjustable concen- tration 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 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
