Important Notice

This instrument provides measurement readings to its user, and serves as a tool by

which valuable data can be gathered. The information provided by the instrument may

assist the user in eliminating potential hazards caused by his process; however, it is

essential that all personnel involved in the use of the instrument or its interface, with the

process being measured, be properly trained in the process itself, as well as all instrumenta-

tion related to it.

The safety of personnel is ultimately the responsibility of those who control process

conditions. While this instrument may be able to provide early warning of imminent danger,

it has no control over process conditions, and it can be misused. In particular, any alarm or

control systems installed must be tested and understood, both as to how they operate and

as to how they can be defeated. Any safeguards required such as locks, labels, or redun-

dancy, must be provided by the user or specifically requested of Teledyne at the time the

order is placed.

Therefore, the purchaser must be aware of the hazardous process conditions. The

purchaser is responsible for the training of personnel, for providing hazard warning

methods and instrumentation per the appropriate standards, and for ensuring that hazard

warning devices and instrumentation are maintained and operated properly.

Teledyne Analytical Instruments, the manufacturer of this instrument, cannot

accept responsibility for conditions beyond its knowledge and control. No statement

expressed or implied by this document or any information disseminated by the manufactur-

er or its agents, is to be construed as a warranty of adequate safety control under the

Operational Theory

2.1 Introduction

The analyzer is composed of three subsystems:

1. Paramagnetic Sensor

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 Paramagnetic Sensor is an electromechanical device that

translates the amount of oxygen present in the sample into an electrical

signal. 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 Precise Paramagnetic Sensor

2.2.1 Principles of Operation

The heart of the 3020M is a paramagnetic type oxygen sensor that is

maintanance free and has a long lifetime. Oxygen has a very high magnetic

sucseptibility compared to other gases and thus displays a particularly para-

magnetic behaviour. A small glass dumbbell filled with nitrogen and rotat-

ing on a taut platinum wire is suspended in an inhomogneous magnetic field.

This glass dumbbell is diamagnetic and tends to rotate out of the magnetic

field. The strength of the resulting torque determined by an susceptibility of

the sample gas. This torque is compensated for by a counter torque induced

by an electrically charged platinum coil on the dumbbell. The zero position

of the dumbbell is controlled by means of an optical system consisting of a

light source, a mirror at the dumbbell axis and a pair of detectors. The

difference between the compensating currents required to bring the dumb-

2-2

2 Operational Theory Model 3020M

Teledyne Analytical Instruments

bell to the zero position in the presence of zero gas (i.e. no O2 present) or of

sample gas is proportional to the partial pressure of oxygen in the sample

gas.

The sensor enclosure is temperature controlled to 55 degrees centigrade

to insure that the magnetic susceptibility of oxygen in the sample is not

affected by the ambient temperature. The measuring cell has a measuring

volume of approximately 3 cm3

Sensor

(side view shown)

The Paramagnetic sensor enclosure holds not only the sensing elements,

but the temperature controller electronics, heating elements, sensor electron-

ics, and preamplifier. The Electronics and heating elements require a separate

power source, from the rest of the 3020M capable of delivering 1.5 amps

approximately at 24 volts dc. The output of the sensor is roughly calibrated

to be 0 to 1 volt DC for the the range of 0 to 100 % 02. The true calibration

of the sensor is carried out by the microprocessor as described later in chap-

ter 4. The electrical interconnections to the sensor are done through a 15 pin

D connector. Some signals from the sensor are not connected. They are only

useful for troubleshooting, by trained personnel, as test points.

2.3 Cross Interference

As mentioned previously, the selectivity of the measuring system is

based on the extraordinarily high magnetic susceptibility of Oxygen com-

pared to other gases. In most cases the presence of other gases can be ig-

nored but significant errors can occur when the sensor is calibrated with a

mixture of oxygen and nitrogen and the sample gas consists mainly of other

gases with considerable magnetic susceptibility. In this case, the reading

shows a measured value even if the sample gas contains no Oxygen. It is

actually displaying the cross sensitivity to another gas.

The following table shows the cross sensitivity of some gases when

changing from pure nitrogen to 100% of one of the gases listed.

With gas mixtures the components are weighted according to their

proporational volumes.

The cross interference with a gas mixture can be determined in advance if the

concentration of the individual background gases is known.

Example:

Cross sensitivity calculation for a gas mixture:

The gas to be measured consists of 10 % CO2, 40 % of N2, and 50%

of Ar.

C02: -0.27 x 10% = -0.027

Ar: -0.22x5O%= -0.11

2.4 Sample System

The sample system delivers gases to the sensor from the analyzer gas

panel inlets. Depending on the mode of operation either sample or calibration

gas is delivered.

The Model 3020M 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 minimizes

residual gas pockets that can interfere with low percent range 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 moni-

tored by a flowmeter downstream from the sensor.

The gases delivered to the instrument should be at constant pressures and

flow rates and must exit freely into the ambient atmosphere. The Span, Zero

and Sample gases should be delivered at constant pressures of about 10 psig

(Range 5-20). The flow rate must be maintained at about 700 cc/minute (Range

600-1000) and must exit freely into atmospheric pressure.

Figure 2-4 is the flow diagram for the sampling system. In the standard

instrument, calibration gases (zero and span) can be connected directly to the

Sample In port by teeing to the port with appropriate valves. The shaded por-

tions of the diagram show the components added when the –C and/or –F

options are ordered. The solenoid valves, when supplied, are installed inside the

3020M enclosure and are regulated by the instruments internal electronics. The

flame arrestors, when supplied, are installed in the Gas Connector Panel.

2.5 Electronics and Signal Processing

The Model 3020M Percent Oxygen Analyzer uses an 8031 microcon-

troller with 32 kB of RAM and 128 kB of ROM to control all signal pro-

cessing, input/output, and display functions for the analyzer. System power

is supplied 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 Para-

magnetic Sensor has its own dedicated universal 24V power supply that

feeds the sensors internal heater and electronics.

The signal processing electronics including the microprocessor, analog

to digital, and digital to analog converters are located on the main PCB, on

the front door (see figure 5-1). The preamplifier board is mounted on top of

the motherboard. These boards are accessible by opening the front door of

the explosion proof enclosure. Figure 2-5 is a block diagram of the Analyzer

electronics.

In the presence of oxygen the chamber is rotated in the magnetic field,

but the cell generates a current to countertorque the oxygen action. This

current is converted to a voltage, which is preamplified in the sensor internal

electronics.

The preamplified signal (0-1 Volt) is fed to the 3020M amplifier for

minor processing.

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.

2.6 Temperature Control

For accurate analysis the sensor temperature is controlled internally at

55OC.
