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.
