Series 3000

Trace Percent Oxygen Analyzer

Unmatched Technology & Value

Precision market leading trace and percent oxygen analyzers and transmitters can protect your process, plant and personnel

Our ALPHA OMEGA INSTRUMENTS™ Series 3000™ Trace Oxygen Analyzer is a rugged, microprocessor-controlled oxygen analyzer designed for continuous or intermittent measurement of trace oxygen concentrations.

Range from 0-1 PPM to 0-10,000 PPM
Available in single or three-range configuration.
Auto-ranging for the latter is available at no additional charge

The Series 3000 Trace Oxygen Analyzer is housed in a general-purpose enclosure and is powered from either a universal 100-240 VAC, 50-60Hz, or 18-32 VDC. Trace oxygen values are displayed on a 0.4 inch (10.2 mm) high, 4-1/2 digit liquid crystal display (LCD). The Series 3000 is equipped with three oxygen alarm relays and one status alarm relay. All four relays are Form C (SPDT) types rated at 10 amps at 115/230 VAC and 30 VDC. The relays are user configurable for fail-safe operation. In addition to the four alarm contacts, the analyzer has a built-in audible alarm and three red LEDs for visual indication of an oxygen alarm condition.

The audible alarm may be manually canceled at any time. The Series 3000 provides users with two standard analog outputs, 4-20 mADC and 0-2 VDC. For enhanced communications, the analyzer can be equipped with optional RS-232C or RS-485 serial communications. Also available with an optional CO2 tolerant sensor.

CO₂ Resistant Sensor

NEW – CO₂ Resistant Sensor – a nemesis for many conventional “fuel cell” type trace oxygen sensors are their inability to measure oxygen in gases containing carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide reacts with potassium hydroxide electrolyte to form carbonic acid and in short time destroys the sensor. Not anymore. We offer an optional CO₂ tolerant trace oxygen sensor with proprietary electrolyte. The CO₂ tolerant sensor is capable of providing accurate oxygen readings in gases containing up to 100% CO₂ without shortening the life of the sensor.

For enhanced communications, the Series 3000 Percent Oxygen Analyzer can be configured with optional RS-232C or RS-485 serial communications. The RS-485 format is capable of sending digital signals over greater distances and controlling each monitor using the same communication channel.

High Performance Trace Oxygen Sensor

The Series 3000 Trace Oxygen Analyzer features our long-life ambient temperature electrochemical sensor that has a functional life of up to three times that of most “fuel cell” type sensors. The enhanced mechanical design of the sensor ensures longer life, and virtually eliminates leakage of caustic electrolyte, a nagging (and expensive) problem associated with sensors that require periodic electrolyte maintenance.

A LONG-LASTING TRACE OXYGEN SENSOR

The Series 3000 Trace Oxygen Analyzer features our long-life ambient temperature electrochemical sensor that has a functional life of up to three times that of most “fuel cell” type sensors. The enhanced mechanical design of the sensor ensures longer life, and virtually eliminates leakage of caustic electrolyte, a nagging (and expensive) problem associated with sensors that require periodic electrolyte maintenance. And, because the sensor is sealed, it is not position sensitive. In addition, unlike some electrochemical sensors, the readings from the Series 3000 do not require manual adjustment based on changes in the molecular weights of the sample gas i.e. helium, hydrogen, etc. a major advantage for continuous measuring applications. The output from the sensor is both linear and temperature compensated to provide optimum performance. The long-life trace oxygen sensor is installed in a high integrity-leak tested metal housing that is equipped with 1/4″ stainless steel compression fittings on both the sample gas inlet and outlet. Manual isolation valves are included at no additional charge.

FLEXIBLE CONFIGURATIONS FOR A RANGE OF USES

The Series 3000 Trace Oxygen Analyzer affords maximum flexibility to meet the increasing demands of the industrial, commercial, and educational markets. It is available in a wide number of optional mechanical configurations. Depending on the application, the Series 3000 can be equipped with a number of options including sample filters, sample pumps, pressure regulators, block & bleed by-pass sampling systems, serial communications, solenoid valves with internal control connections, flow meters, etc.

SAFETY

We Care About Safety

If you are concerned over unsafe levels of oxygen explore a complete line of oxygen deficiency monitors and accessories. We supply many instruments to medical, aerospace, and municipalities. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) defines an oxygen deficient environment when oxygen levels fall below 19.5 percent. Oxygen deficient environments require accurate and reliable instrumentation. Oxygen levels below 16% is dangerous to human life.
