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.
