Introduction
1.1 Overview
The Analytical Instruments Model 3010TAC Remote Probe is a
versatile remotely controlled instrument for detecting trace amounts of
oxygen (0-10 ppm to 0-250 ppm) in a variety of background gases. Details
are recorded in Specifications in the Appendix to this manual.
The analyzer is designed to meet the CENELEC operation standards
for European use. The analyzer uses a unique micro-fuel cel (MFC) to
measure the concentration of oxygen in a gas stream. The instrument is
composed of three separate units (cell housing) and safety barrier box -
which may be widely separated physically and are intended for applica-
tions where remote control of the sample analysis is desirable.
Safety barrier box isolate the BASEEFA approved probes from the
control unit. The intrinsically-safe sensor probe contains TAI’s long life
L-2/B-2 sensor and temperature compensation components. The uint’s
feature trace oxygen (O
2
) analysis in the ranges of 0-10ppm, 0-100ppm,
0-1000ppm and 0-25% CAL.
1.2 Intrinsic Safe Barriers
The intrinsically safe cell block houses the MFC and the temperature
compensation thermistor.
Intrinsic safety barriers are used to limit the electrical energy within
the controlled circuit to a level too low to cause ignition of a flammable
material.
Any and all hazardous conditions to which the analyzer may be
exposed are characteristic of the user’s environment, and understanding of
the conditions and precautions necessary for safe operation are user’s
responsibility.
