SECTION 1

DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS

1-1 OVERVIEW

This manual describes the Trace Oxygen

(TO2) Analyzer Module of Rosemount Ana-

lytical's NGA 2000 Series of gas analysis

components.

The TO2 Analyzer Module is designed to con-

tinuously determine the concentration of trace

oxygen in a flowing gaseous mixture. The

concentration is expressed in parts-per-

million.

The TO2 Analyzer Module is configured as a

shelf-mount module, designed to be installed

external from the platform on an associated

shelf capable of holding two modules side-by-

side, with gas connections made from the

rear. All electronics relative to sample detec-

tion and conditioning are included in this

module.

1-2 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

The TO2 Analyzer Module has specific appli-

cations in the following areas:

• Trace oxygen in product nitrogen

and argon streams from air

separation plants

• Trace oxygen in inerting atmos-

pheres for heat treat furnaces

• Trace oxygen in glove-box appli-

cations

1-3 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT

Coulometric Principle

The TO2 Analyzer Module uses the cou-

lometric principle of oxygen detection. This

technology is based on the fact that oxygen in

the sample is reduced by an electrochemical

reaction. This reduction occurs at the cathode

and results in the generation of hydroxyl ions.

These hydroxyl ions migrate to the anode

where they are oxidized to reform oxygen.

The oxidation reaction generates four elec-

trons which in turn migrate to the anode to

participate in the reduction reaction:

(Cathode Reaction)

+ 2 H

O + 4 e

→ 4 OH

(Anode Reaction)

4 OH

→ O

+ 2 H

O + 4 e

A polarizing voltage of approximately 1.3 VDC

is applied between the anode and cathode to

drive the oxidation and reduction reactions.

The resulting current flow produced by the

flow of electrons is directly proportional to the

oxygen content in the sample gas.

1-4 FEATURES

Among the features included in the TO2 Ana-

lyzer Module are:

• Quick start feature

• Electrolyte level alarm

• High oxygen protection circuit

with alarm

• Sample flow indication.

SECTION 2

INSTALLATION

WARNING.

Before starting to install this equip-

ment, read the Safety Summary in

the Preface section of this manual.

Failure to follow the safety instruc-

tions could result in serious injury or

death.

2-1 UNPACKING

If the Trace Oxygen (TO2) Analyzer Module is

received as a separate unit, carefully examine

the shipping carton and contents for signs of

damage. Immediately notify the shipping car-

rier if the carton or contents is damaged. Re-

tain the carton and packing material until all

components associated with the TO2 Ana-

lyzer Module are operational.

2-2 ELECTROLYTE

Before installation of the TO2 Analyzer Mod-

ule, electrolyte must be added to the Sensor.

Follow the procedure described in Section 2-

2a.

After addition of electrolyte, locate the ana-

lyzer module on an appropriate mounting

surface and connect the network cable to ei-

ther the NETWORK 1 or NETWORK 2 con-

nection on the Analyzer Module, and the

NETWORK connection on the Platform net-

work I/O port. (See Figure 2-1 and Figure

2-4.)

a. Electrolyte Addition

Before adding electrolyte to the Sensor, it

is recommended to check the Sensor for

possible leakage caused by damage in

shipment. To check the Sensor for leak-

age, remove the top cover of the Analyzer

Module and locate and remove the 5

mounting screws which hold the Sensor

Assembly (Sensor, flow meter, plumbing,

inlet/outlet fittings) to the module (see

Figure 4-1). Be careful not to lose these

screws as they have metric threads.

Carefully lift out the Sensor assembly and

remove from the analyzer module. Place

on a flat surface and remove the black

Sensor cover by unscrewing counter-

clockwise.

Add distilled or deionized water to the

Sensor to the maximum level indication

on the Sensor reservoir. Let Sensor

stand for approximately 15 minutes and

check for leaks around the base of the

reservoir, and at the seams and corners.

If a leak is found, contact the factory be-

fore proceeding. Drain the Sensor.

Fill the Sensor with one bottle of electro-

lyte supplied with the analyzer module.

Use the entire contents of the bottle.

NOTE

Do not add water. The volume and

concentration of the bottled electrolyte

is pre-measured.

Reinstall the black Sensor cover and

carefully reinstall the Sensor Assembly

inside the Analyzer Module. Do not tilt

the Sensor Assembly excessively as

electrolyte may leak out.

2-3 LOCATION

(See Figure 2-2) The TO2 Analyzer Module

comes standard with mounting ears for easy

installation on flat, horizontal surfaces. Install

the TO2 Analyzer Module in a clean, weather-

proofed, vibration-free location free from ex-

treme temperature variations and moisture.

For best results, install the instrument near

the sample stream to minimize sample trans-

port time.

Operating ambient temperature is 0 °C to 45

°C (32 °F to 81 °F). Temperature change

should not exceed 10 °C (18 °F) per hour.

2-2 Installation Rosemount Analytical Inc. A Division of Emerson Process Management

Model NGA 2000 TO2

The same temperature restrictions apply to

the location of the zero and span gas cylin-

ders.

2-4 GASES

a. Requirements

The TO2 Analyzer Module requires only a

standard of accurately known composition

for use as a span gas. The span gas

should be supplied from a cylinder

equipped with a clean, metallic dia-

phragm, two-stage regulator. A shutoff

valve is recommended.

Calibration Gases

The TO2 module does not require routine

zero calibration. The zero is factory set

and does not experience routine drift.

Over long periods of time, the zero may

experience minor drift. For low ppm

range analyzers, you may wish to check

the zero at one year intervals. Oxygen-

free nitrogen is recommended for use as

zero gas. This gas is certified to <0.5

ppm oxygen and can be improved by

passing the zero gas through an oxygen

scrubber such as Millipore™ Waferpure

or Semigas Nanochem® resin purifiers. A

mixture of trace oxygen in a background

of nitrogen is recommended as span gas.

For maximum accuracy, the concentration

of trace oxygen in the span gas should be

as high as possible for the range of

measurement.

b. Sample

The sample must be clean and dry before

entering the Analyzer Module. Sample

should be filtered for particulates down to

two microns, and should have a dew point

at least 5 °C (13 °F) below the coldest ex-

pected ambient temperature.

c. Pressure

Constant between 13.8 and 69 hPa -

gauge (0.2 and 1.0 psig) sample inlet

pressure is recommended. If a needle

valve is used upstream of the Analyzer

Module to control flow, the inlet pressure

to the needle valve should not exceed

345 hPa (5 psig). A constant sample flow

rate between 1.0 to 3.0 SCFH (0.5 to 1.5

l/min) is recommended for best results.

The Analyzer Module must vent to at-

mosphere to avoid back pressure influ-

ences on the oxygen reading.

2-5 GAS CONNECTIONS

(See Figure 2-3. ) Connect inlet and outlet

lines for sample to appropriately labeled fit-

tings on the rear panel. SAMPLE IN and

SAMPLE OUT are 1/4-inch ferrule-type com-

pression fittings. Zero and span gases should

be introduced at the SAMPLE IN fitting at

normal sample inlet flow rate.

Metallic tubing is recommended for the sam-

ple line. The use of plastic, Teflon, or other

non-metallic tubing can result in ambient oxy-

gen permeation through the tubing causing

higher than expected reading. Exhaust tub-

ing should be 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) or larger, and

can be metallic or non-metallic.

CAUTION.

GAS OVERPRESSURE

At no time should sample, zero or span

gas inlet pressure exceed 69 hPa - gauge

(1.0 psig). Damage to the Sensor may oc-

cur if this pressure level is exceeded.

CAUTION.

SAMPLE FLOW

Do not test the sample pressure by block-

ing the exhaust. When the pressure is re-

leased the sudden surge of flow will spin

the internal flowmeter off its bearings and

destroy it.
