Introduction
1.1 Introduction
The Teledyne Analytical Instruments (TAI) Model 3110 Portable
Trace Oxygen Analyzer is a portable, intrinsically safe oxygen analyzer
capable of analyzing oxygen levels from 2 parts per million (ppm)
oxygen.
The instrument operates from internal rechargeable batteries and is
supplied with a universal AC charge adapter. Featuring quick
disconnect fittings for sample connections and a rugged lightweight
housing with handle, this versatile instrument can be brought to the
sample site and set up for analysis quickly and easily. Because of the
intrinsically safe design, once calibrated, the instrument can be
employed even in hazardous environments without compromise. The
Model 3110 incorporates a large standard feature list designed for
versatile, accurate oxygen analysis for a wide range of applications.
Figure 1-1 shows the standard Model 3110 Portable Trace Oxygen
Analyzer.
The microprocessor based Model 3110 instrument provides user
settable analysis ranges at the trace level. The range can be set from 0-2
ppm to 0-25% oxygen. In auto-ranging mode two ranges can be set and
the analyzer move between these ranges as required. The adjustment
resolution is 0.1 ppm for trace analysis.
Sample oxygen is displayed on a 2-line 20 character alphanumeric
LCD display mounted on the front panel. Four buttons are used to
interface with the instrument and access all of the analyzer features.
Sample gas is introduced and vented via a pair of quick-disconnect
fittings that feature integral shutoff valves that automatically close when
the mating male fitting is withdrawn. The fittings are an integral part of
the measuring cell manifold.

downloaded using the instrument’s
optional RS-232 interface.
Display: A 2-line 20 character alphanumeric LCD
on the front panel displays data and
operational information through various
screens. The contrast is adjustable for
various lighting conditions.
Four-Button User Interface: Operation is performed using the
four front panel mounted buttons. These
buttons are used to enter data, select items
and move through operational screens that
appear on the display.
Universal AC Charge Adapter: The rechargeable batteries can
be recharged without removing them from
the instrument. The charger operates over
the range of 100-240 VAC.
LEDs: Two front panel mounted LEDs are used
to indicate low battery condition and when
the battery is recharging.
Contrast Control: This feature allows the user to easily
adjust the contrast of the display for
optimum viewing under different lighting
conditions. The adjustment is made using
a front panel control dial.
Auto-ranging: The user is able to specify two analytical
ranges for analysis in the auto mode. The
Model 3110 will automatically switch
between these ranges depending on the
oxygen level.
Percent of Range Voltage Output: An optional 0-1 VDC
output is available that represents the
percentage of the current analysis range.
Real-time Clock: This feature allows the Model 3110 to date
and time stamp the data set recorded on
the data logger. It uses a 24 hour clock.
Portable Trace Oxygen Analyzer Introduction
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 13
Quick Disconnect Fittings: Dual self-sealing quick disconnect
fittings are installed for making easy
sample connections.
1.3 Method of Analysis
The sample oxygen is measured by a unique electrochemical
transducer which functions as a fuel cell; in this instance, the fuel is
oxygen. Oxygen diffusing into the cell reacts chemically to produce an
electrical current that is proportional to the oxygen concentration in the
gas phase immediately adjacent to the transducer’s sensing surface. The
linear, but minute signal produced by the transducer from oxygen is
amplified by a two-stage amplifier. The O2 sensor output signal is
digitized and fed to the microprocessor. Additional signal conditioning
and temperature compensation are handled electronically and
appropriate signals are directed to the display and output ports.
1.4 Micro-Fuel Cell
The micro-fuel cell (U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,767,552 and 3,668,101) is a
sealed electrochemical transducer with no electrolyte to change or
electrodes to clean. When the cell reaches the end of its useful life, it is
removed, properly disposed of, and replaced with a new cell. The life of
the cell is warranted by TAI (see below).
The cell is specific for oxygen and is not sensitive to flow rate or
reducing agents such as hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide,
etc. In the absence of oxygen, no current is produced; thus, no zeroing is
required.
1.4.1 Cell Warranty
The Class B2-C, A2C, B2C-XL and Insta Trace micro-fuel cells
can be used in the Model 3110 and are warranted for six (6) months
from the date of shipment.
With regard to spare cells, service time starts when the cell is
removed from its shipping package. You should stock only one spare
cell per instrument at a time.
If a cell was working satisfactorily but ceases to function before the
warranty period expires, the sensor will be replaced at no cost.
Introduction Model 3110
14 Teledyne Analytical Instruments
If you have a warranty claim, return the cell in question to the
factory for evaluation. If it is determined that failure is due to faulty
workmanship or material, the cell will be replaced at no cost to you.
WARNING: EVIDENCE OF DAMAGE DUE TO TAMPERING OR
MISHANDLING WILL RENDER THE CELL
WARRANTY NULL AND VOID.
The Model 3110 is designed to meet Factory Mutual standards for
intrinsically safe for Class I, Division I, Groups A, B, C and D
hazardous locations. (Approval pending at time of manual printing.)
This safety feature does not apply when the instrument is being
charged with the 100- 240 VAC external charge adapter. The instrument
should be removed from hazardous areas when the batteries are being
charged.
Note: Do not use the analyzer when the battery charge is low.
1.5 Accuracy and Response
The Model 3110 provides monitoring accuracies of ±2% of full
scale or ±1 ppm, whichever is greater, at constant temperature.
With a sample flow rate of 1 SCFH, a 90% response can be realized
in 60 seconds. The response time on the 3110 is limited by the filter
setting.
1.6 Signal Output
The standard 0-1 VDC output has a 100 ohm impedance and is
suitable for driving external devices that have an input impedance of
10,000 Ω or more. The signal output is available from a port on the rear
panel.
1.7 Compact Packaging
The instrument is housed in 6 1/8" × 9 ½" × 5 5/8" (156 × 241 ×
143 mm) aluminum case that is equipped with a carrying handle and
foot pads. Unlike analog instruments where uneven positioning may

Installation
The Model 3110 Trace Oxygen Analyzer is designed to be portable
and easy to setup and configure. To setup the analyzer:
Read the Manual
Charge the battery
Install the sample and vent gas lines
Install the trace sensor and purge the analyzer
Calibrate the analyzer
Set the sample gas flow rate
2.1 Charging the Batteries
The unit is powered by 2 Intrinsically Safe rated sub-C Ni-Cd
batteries and is shipped with batteries fully charged. The batteries,
however, will require periodic recharging. For recharging, access to an
AC power source of 100 to 240 volt, 50/60 Hz will be required and the
instrument should not be recharged in a hazardous area. Connect the
universal AC charger adapter supplied with the instrument to the AC
power outlet. Plug the other end of the charger into the port on the rear
panel as shown in Figure 2-1. The green charge indicator LED should be
illuminated to indicate that the unit is charging.
To fully recharge a set of batteries will take approximately 16
hours. The instrument should not be left on the charger for longer than
20 hours nor should the charger be left attached to the instrument when
the unit is not charging. The Model 3110 cannot be operated while the
battery charger is attached.
CAUTION: DO NOT CHARGE THE BATTERY IN A HAZARDOUS
AREA. THE INTRINSICALLY SAFE CLASSIFICATION
OF THIS INSTRUMENT DOES NOT APPLY WHEN
THE CHARGER IS ATTACHED TO THE
INSTRUMENT. REMOVE THE INSTRUMENT TO A
NON-HAZARDOUS AREA BEFORE CONNECTING
THE BATTERY CHARGER TO THE INSTRUMENT.
Installation Model 3110
18 Teledyne Analytical Instruments
The unit can operate continuously for approximately 4 days on a set
of fully charged batteries. If more frequent charging is required, the
batteries are approaching the end of their useful life and should be
replaced. See Battery Replacement in Section 4.3 of this manual.
A low battery condition is indicated by a blinking red Low Battery
LED on the front panel. This will also cause the display to flicker along
with the blinking LED due to the power drain and low battery condition.
At this point the unit should be removed from service and the batteries
recharged.
Figure 2-1: Model 3110 Rear Panel
2.2 Gas Connections
The customer must provide a means of controlling the pressure and
flow rate of the sample and zero gas. For positive pressure applications,
TAI suggests a simple throttle valve installed in the sample line between
the sample point and the analyzer. The flow rate should be limited to
between 0.2 and 2.5 SCFH. The sample in port is used for both sample
Portable Trace Oxygen Analyzer Installation
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 19
and calibration gas. For atmospheric pressure sampling, connect a pump
and flow control valve downstream from the analyzer and draw (rather
than push) the sample through the instrument.
IMPORTANT: IF A PRESSURE REGULATOR IS USED, IT MUST
HAVE A METALLIC DIAPHRAGM. REGULATORS
WITH ORGANIC OR PLASTIC DIAPHRAGMS ARE
PERMEABLE TO OXYGEN AND, IF USED IN THE
SAMPLING SYSTEM, WILL LEAD TO HIGH OXYGEN
READINGS.
The instrument is shipped with a gas sampling and calibration kit.
This includes a 12” piece of clear tubing with a quick disconnect line for
use as a sample return or vent line plus 2 quick disconnect fittings to be
installed on the sample and calibration lines. These fittings employ ¼
tube fittings which can be removed to reveal a 1/8” NPT internal thread.
It is important in trace analysis applications to use metal for all
wetted components of the sample system. This includes gas lines, filters,
pump housing, diaphragms and any components in contact with the
sample gas. Plastic tubing and parts will result in slow and inaccurate
measurements at the ppm level.
There are two quick disconnect fittings installed on the rear panel
for mating the instrument with the sample or calibration gas and the vent
line. As shown in Figure 2-1, each fitting has a button which when
depressed allows the rapid detachment of the gas line from the
instrument. It is not necessary to press the button when inserting the
line, just push the male fitting into the mating connector. When a line is
removed, an internal seal prevents gas escape from the female sections
of the fitting.
To avoid pressurizing the sensor, the vent line should be
installed first and removed last.
In setting up the sample lines, any valves used to set the sample
flow or filters must be located on the sample in line. Do not place any
valves or restrictions on the vent line except as noted above for
atmospheric pressure sampling when using a downstream pump. Doing
so would increase the sensor operating pressure and result in inaccurate
analysis.
Installation Model 3110
20 Teledyne Analytical Instruments
For trace analysis applications, a flowmeter should be installed in
the vent line but it should not incorporate any control valves or
restrictive devices.
2.3 Sensor Installation
The Model 3110's trace sensor requires that the instrument lines be
immediately purged with zero gas after installing the cell.
2.3.1 Installing a Trace Sensor
Prior to installing the trace sensor, make sure the analyzer is ready
to purge with zero gas. Connect the vent line to the analyzer then
connect the zero gas line to the sample in port. Set the zero gas flow rate
between 0.2 and 2.5 SCFH.
Prior to using any bottled gas for calibration or purge, it is good
practice to bleed the regulator and sample line to remove any traces of
trapped air. See Section 2.4.3 Bleeding the Regulator and Purging the
Gas Line.
Once the vent and zero gas lines are attached and the lines bleed,
proceed to install the trace sensor as follows:
1. Remove the cell holder cap from the bottom of the
instrument.
2. Remove the outer packaging from the sensor.
3. Grab the shorting plug on the top of the sensor and pull it
free prior to removing the sensor from its packaging.
4. Remove the packaging and rapidly place the sensor on the
top of the cell holder cap with the concentric gold rings
facing up.
5. Screw the cell holder cap and sensor into the bottom of the
analyzer.
Note: Minimize the time the sensor is exposed to air.
6. Start the purge flow through the analyzer and purge
overnight before calibrating the unit.
Portable Trace Oxygen Analyzer Installation
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 21
2.4 Calibration
Calibration involves using a span gas to set the span of the
instrument. The proper span gas concentration depends on the range that
the instrument will be used on. The correct concentration should be 80-
90% of the range used. For instance, if the analyzer is to be used on a
range of 0-150 ppm oxygen, then a span gas should be prepared with
120-135 ppm oxygen in nitrogen.
2.4.1 Calibration Procedure for Trace Analysis
To calibrate the Model 3110, the instrument must be fitted with a
trace sensor. The instrument must also be purged overnight using a zero
gas (a pure gas with no oxygen, typically O2 free N2) before calibrating.
For A-2C type cells, match the CO2 content in the span gas to that of the
sample gas.
To calibrate the analyzer for trace analysis:
1. Purge the analyzer overnight.
2. Purge the calibration gas sample line, regulator, and control
valve. See Section 2.4.3.
3. Set the calibration gas flow rate to 1 SCFH.
4. Attach the vent line followed by the span gas line using the
quick disconnect fittings.
5. Navigate to the SPAN VALUE screen (see Section 3.2.13)
and set the span value to the known oxygen concentration in
ppm of the span gas.
6. Observe the oxygen reading on the screen to determine when
the reading has stabilized.
7. Navigate to the SPAN screen and select SPAN: START.
8. When the screen changes and displays SPAN: FINISH, select
SPAN: FINISH to set the span.
9. Allow the span gas to flow for several minutes to verify the
proper span setting.
10. Calibration is complete. Remove the span gas line first
followed by the vent line.
Installation Model 3110
22 Teledyne Analytical Instruments
2.4.2 Bleeding the Regulator and Purging the Gas Line
When using bottled gas (gas cylinder) as a calibration gas for trace
analysis applications, the regulator and sample lines must be bled to
remove traces of trapped air. Otherwise air that is trapped in the lines
especially between the regulator and cylinder will result in a lengthening
of the calibration time.
To bleed the regulator and sample line:
1. Attach the regulator to the gas cylinder. Then attach a sample
line with a flow control/shut off valve preferably at the far
end of the sample line.
2. Open the shut off valve slightly, and then open the valve on
the gas cylinder.
3. Adjust the regulator to the desired pressure (usually 5 psi)
then close the cylinder valve.
4. Open the cylinder valve to pressurize the regulator fully then
close the cylinder valve again.
5. Open the sample flow control valve and allow the gas to
bleed down and vent to a safe area. Observe the secondary
gauge (low pressure side) on the regulator. As the low
pressure gauge starts to fall, close the sample flow control
valve.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 seven (7) times.
The sample delivery system is now purged and ready for calibration
or analysis. Keep the cylinder valve open to maintain system
pressurization.
Note: Make sure there are no leaks in the sample line and
regulator connections. Check also the cylinder connection
for leaks.
2.5 Set the Sample Flow rate
Once the system has been calibrated, the instrument can be brought
to the analysis site and the sample gas line can be connected to the unit.
Using the quick disconnect fittings supplied; connect the vent line
followed by the sample line to the rear panel. See Figure 2-1.
Once the sample gas is flowing, set the flow rate to 0.2-2.5 SCFH.
Portable Trace Oxygen Analyzer Installation
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 23
2.6 External Signal
The standard 0-1 VDC output signal represents the percentage of
the current range. For instance, if the range was set for 0 to 10 ppm, then
0.1 V would represent 1 ppm, 0.2V would be 2 ppm; 0.3V would be 3
ppm etc.
This output signal, when installed, is accessible from the rear panel.
The output signal has an input impedance of 100Ω.
Operation Model 3110
24 Teledyne Analytical Instruments
Operation
The micro-fuel cell is not installed in the analyzer prior to
shipment. It is be a separate item that is to be installed according the
procedure in section 2.3 of this manual. Once the cell is installed and
purged down with zero gas, the integral shut-off valves in the quick
disconnect sample fittings, if not disturbed, will maintain this inert
atmosphere within the manifold indefinitely.
Turning the instrument on by pressing the ENTER key will power
the display and show the power on screen briefly. The display will then
change to indicate the residual oxygen concentration within the internal
sample passageways if no sample line is attached.
Note: To extend cell life and minimize the time required to make
the next analysis, the instrument should always be purged
with an oxygen free inert gas prior to being taken out of
service for standby or storage.

The 3110 includes user adjustable filter. The filter has settings 1-
10. Setting 1 is the least amount of filtering and 10 is the highest level of
damping. The filter is used to reduce the noise level of the O2 readings.
More filtering is required for lower trace ranges such as 10 ppm. Adding
filtering will slow down analyzers response to changing O2 levels. The
lowest effective level of filtering should always selected. The filter level
should be lowered to 1or 2 when setting the span to avoid delays. For a
0-10 ppm range a filler setting or 6 or 7 should typically provide good
results.

40 Teledyne Analytical Instruments
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
4.1 Routine Maintenance
Other than replacing the sensor and cell holder O-ring, there are no
user-serviceable components within the instrument housing. Routine
maintenance consists of wiping down the instrument case, cleaning the
screen and checking for leaks.
CAUTION: USING ABRASIVE CLEANSERS OR SOLVENTS WILL
DAMAGE THE SCREEN. USE ONLY A MILD
DETERGENT AND SOFT CLOTH WHEN REMOVING
DIRT OR GREASE MARKS FROM THE SCREEN.
When cleaning the instrument case, do not flood with water or use
harsh, abrasive or solvent cleansers. These cleansers will attack the LCD
lens material as well as eventually wear off the silk-screened legends.
4.2 Opening the Instrument Case
CAUTION: DEPENDING ON THE APPLICATION, IT MAY BE
NECESSARY TO PURGE THE INSTRUMENT THEN
REMOVE THE INSTRUMENT TO A NON-
HAZARDOUS AREA BEFORE OPENING THE
INSTRUMENT CASE.
To open the enclosure:
1. Loosen (counter-clockwise) the three (3) ¼-turn screwdriver-
type fasteners on the back of the outer enclosure.
2. Pull off the back section of the cover
4.3 Replacing the Battery
After many charge/recharge cycles of the battery, eventually the
Ni-Cd batteries will have to be replaced. Usually, when the instrument
requires more frequent charge cycles than before it is time to change the
Portable Trace Oxygen Analyzer Maintenance
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 41
batteries. Refer to the Spare Parts Listing in the Appendix for the correct
replacement battery.
Note: The batteries are not user serviceable. They can only be
replaced by a qualified technician.
4.4 Battery Power Supply Service
The Model 3110 is designed to be intrinsically safe, and is designed
for use only when not connected to the AC power line. TAI suggests
that an overnight recharge be performed every few days for continuous
use.
The low battery LED will begin to blink and the display will flicker
when the batteries are getting low. At this point, the batteries should be
recharged. To recharge the batteries, turn the instrument OFF (see
Section 3.2.19. Remove the instrument to a safe non-hazardous location.
Note: Depending on the application, purging may be required
before disconnecting the analyzer and moving it to a safe
location.
Plug the AC charger into a suitable 100-240 VAC 60 Hz power
source. Plug the other end of the charger cable into the port on the rear
of the instrument. Figure 4-1 shows the AC charger port on the rear
panel.
Note: During charging, the green battery charging indicator LED
will illuminate.
When recharging is completed, unplug the unit from the AC outlet
and disconnect the cable from the AC charger port.
Note: The analyzer cannot be turned on while the AC charger is
attached.

Figure 4-1: Battery Charger Port on the Model 3110
4.5 Cell Replacement
The characteristics of the micro-fuel cell are similar to those of a
NiCad battery in that both provide an almost constant output through their
useful life, and then fall off sharply towards zero at the end. If the sample
being analyzed has a low oxygen concentration, cell failure will probably
be indicated by the inability to properly calibrate the analyzer. You will find
that very little span adjustment will be required to keep the analyzer
calibrated properly during the duration of a given cell’s useful life. If large
span adjustments are required to calibrate the instrument, or calibration
cannot be achieved within the range of the control, the cell should be
immediately replaced. Refer to section 4.4 before replacing the cell.
To offset the possibility of not having a replacement cell available
when it is needed, TAI recommends that a spare cell be purchased
shortly after the instrument is placed in service, and each time the cell is
replaced thereafter.
The spare cell should be carefully stored in an area that is not
subject to large variations in ambient temperature (75 °F nominal), and
Portable Trace Oxygen Analyzer Maintenance
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 43
in such a way as to obviate any possibility of incurring damage. Under
no circumstances should you disturb the integrity of the cell
package until the cell is to be actually used. If the cell package is
punctured and air permitted to enter, the cell will immediately start to
react to the presence of oxygen.
CAUTION: THE MICRO-FUEL CELL CONTAINS KOH SOLUTION,
WHICH IS CAUSTIC. SHOULD THE CELL RUPTURE,
A LEAK MAY CAUSE INJURY. PLEASE REFER TO
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET IN THE APPENDIX
TO LEARN ABOUT POTENTIAL HAZARDS AND
CORRECTIVE ACTION IN CASE OF ACCIDENT.
No tools are required to replace the cell in the instrument. Simply
unscrew (counterclockwise) the plug at the bottom of the analyzer and
the cell will drop out of the manifold cavity.
Remove the new cell from its package, and carefully remove the
shorting clip. Do not touch the silver-colored sensing surface of the cell,
as it is covered with a delicate Teflon membrane that can be ruptured in
handling.
Place the cell on the end of the cell holder cap so that the sensing
surface of the cell is in contact with the cap and the electrical contact
plate end of the cell is facing upwards. Insert the cell and cap in the
manifold cavity, and screw the cap back into place. Apply as much
pressure as you can with your fingers, but use no tools.
After the cell has been installed, purge the instrument with an inert
gas (or the sample), and then proceed as directed in section 3.1.1.
4.6 Cell Warranty
The Class B-2C, A-2C, B-2CXL and Insta Trace micro-fuel cells
used in the Model 3110 are warranted for six (6) months of service.
With regard to spare cells, service time starts when the cell is
removed from its oxygen barrier packaging. The customer should stock
only one spare cell per instrument at a time. Do not attempt to stockpile
spare cells.
If the Model 3110 is used in trace analysis applications where CO2
is a major component in the sample, the A2C micro-fuel cell should be
used. At low CO2 concentrations (1,000 PPM or less) the standard B2C
Maintenance Model 3110
44 Teledyne Analytical Instruments
cell performance will not be affected. On the following page is a graph
showing the effects of CO2 on cell life.
WARNING: EVIDENCE OF DAMAGE DUE TO TAMPERING OR
MISHANDLING WILL RENDER THE CELL
WARRANTY NULL AND VOID.
4.7 Temperature Compensation
The micro-fuel cell has an inherent positive temperature coefficient.
Compensation is performed internally by the microprocessor and needs no
further adjustment.
Contact the factory if you suspect temperature related inaccuracies
during monitoring and are operating within the instrument’s temperature
operation range.
Portable Trace Oxygen Analyzer Maintenance
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 45
Effect of CO2 on B-2 Cell Life
1. This curve assumes continuous exposure.
2. Intermittent exposure will extend life. In
general, the CO2 effect is cumulative and
the average CO2 concentration should be
used to find the predicted cell life.
3. Cells can be used to make spot check
measurements of O2 in the presence of
high concentrations of CO2 (up to 50%
and more). Any sample containing CO2
should be purged as soon as a constant
reading is obtained.
4. Abnormally slow response and recovery
is characteristic of cells used as indicated
in notes 1, 2, and 3 above.
5. The reduction in cell life is primarily due
to a drop in output. Cell life will reduce
to a point where the instrument can no
longer be spanned. Instruments using B-2
cells in CO2 atmospheres should be
spanned at intervals of 10-20% of the
predicted cell life.
6. The CO2 effect on B-2 cells is
independent of the O2 level. Usage in
CO2 contributes significantly to cell life
reduction and thus affects cell warranty.

4.8 Leak Testing
WARNING: IF A LEAK IS SUSPECTED IN THE UNIT, DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO TIGHTEN THE QUICK DISCONNECT
FITTINGS. THE FITTINGS ARE POTTED IN EPOXY
AND TIGHTENING THEM WILL BREAK THE SEAL.
To check for leaks, TAI recommends one of the following
procedures:
Procedure I:
1. Purge the instrument to as low a value as possible. Use a
sensitive range for analysis for instance, 0-1% range. Take
note of the oxygen concentration.
2. Place the vent line in water and disconnect the sample.
3. Next, disconnect the vent line and use the same analysis
range. The reading should not increase above the level to
which you purged to.
Procedure II:
1. Purge the instrument with nitrogen at the sample port.
2. Using a flow rate of approximately 1 SCFH, note the reading
once it has stabilized (at least 24 hours on the 0-10 PPM
range).
3. Increase the flow rate from 1 SCFH to 2 SCFH.
4. Note how much the reading has changed after a few minutes.
5. Reduce the flow rate to 0.5 SCFH.
6. Note how much the reading has changed.
7. The reading should change by less than 10% of the original
value.
