Introduction
Teledyne Analytical Instruments Model 4020 Total Hydrocarbon
Analyzer is a versatile instrument designed to measure the quantity of
hydrocarbons present in a positive pressure sample as equivalent
methane. The Model 4020 is a microprocessor controlled digital
instrument based on Teledyne’s highly successful Model 402R series
analog Total Hydrocarbon Analyzer.
1.1 Main Features of the Analyzer
The Model 4020 Total Hydrocarbon Analyzer is sophisticated yet
simple to use. A dual display on the front panel prompts and informs the
operator during all phases of operation. The main features of the
analyzer include:
 Easy-to-use front panel interface that includes a red 5-digit
LED display and a vacuum fluorescent display (VFD), driven
by microprocessor electronics.
 High resolution, accurate readings of concentration from low
ppm levels to 6%.
 Microprocessor based electronics: 8-bit CMOS
microprocessor with 32 kB RAM and 128 kB ROM.
 Versatile analysis with three user-definable analysis ranges
from 1 ppm through 6%.
 Autoranging allows analyzer to automatically select the
proper preset range for a given measurement. Manual
override allows the user to lock onto a specific range of
interest.
 A digital mode for range selection allows the user to perform
range switching using the remote calibration contacts.

background gas selection allows the use of two
different sample background gases with separate calibration
parameters stored in memory.
