Introduction

1.1 Overview

The Teledyne Analytical Instruments Model 3000TA-XL Trace Oxy-

gen Analyzer is a versatile microprocessor-based instrument for detecting

oxygen at the parts-per-million (ppm) level in a variety of gases. This manual

covers the Model 3000TA-XL General Purpose flush-panel and/or rack-

mount units only. These units are for indoor use in a nonhazardous environ-

ment.

1.2 Typical Applications

A few typical applications of the Model 3000TA-XL are:

• Monitoring inert gas blanketing

• Air separation and liquefaction

• Chemical reaction monitoring

• Semiconductor manufacturing

• Petrochemical process control

• Quality assurance

• Gas analysis certification.

1.3 Main Features of the Analyzer

The Model 3000TA-XL Trace Oxygen Analyzer is sophisticated yet

simple to use. The main features of the analyzer include:

• A 2-line alphanumeric vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) screen,

driven by microprocessor electronics, that continuously prompts

and informs the operator.

• High resolution, accurate readings of oxygen content from low

ppm levels through 25%. Large, bright, meter readout.

• Stainless steel cell block.
