Introduction
1.1 Overview
The Teledyne Analytical Instruments Model BDS 3000 Trace
Oxygen Analyzer is a versatile microprocessor-based instrument for
detecting oxygen at the parts-per-billion (ppb) level in a variety of gases.
This manual covers the Model BDS 3000 General Purpose flush-panel
and/or rack-mount units only. These units are for indoor use in a non-
hazardous environment.
1.2 Typical Applications
A few typical applications of the Model BDS 3000 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 BDS 3000 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. The screen
continuously prompts and informs the operator.
•
High resolution, accurate readings of oxygen content from
low ppb levels through 100 ppm. Large, bright, meter
readout.
•
New BDS Sensing technology, Patent pending.
