The 3000MA analyzers are versatile, microprocessor based instruments specifically designed to detect oxygen in a variety of gases. They are precise, cost effective instruments capable of measuring percent oxygen in as low as the 0-1% range. Drawing on the solid performance of the highly successful 3000 Series control platform, these provide the user with a wide variety of features and options to satisfy virtually any application.
Leader in Oxygen
These can be ordered as a standard unit or as a part of a larger analytical system. With over 50 years of analytical instrument experience, Teledyne supplies sensors, custom engineered analyzers and complete monitoring systems to satisfy unique applications. From portables to on-line units, in microprocessor based or analog configurations, no other manufacturer comes close to matching Teledyne’s breadth of instrumentation.
Paramagnetic Sensor
The physical property distinguishing oxygen from other gases is its paramagnetism. The paramagnetic sensor consists of two spheres arranged in the form of a dumbbell suspended in a symmetrical, non-uniform magnetic field. When the surrounding gas contains oxygen, the dumbbell spheres rotate out of the magnetic field by the relatively strong attraction of oxygen.
A light beam focused on a mirror attached to the dumbbell reflects asymmetrically onto two photo diodes resulting in a voltage shift. The voltage difference produces a current used to drive the dumbbells back to the original position.
