For Your Safety:
PLEASE
•READ THIS MANUAL IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE ATTEMPTING INSTALLATION OR
OPERATION!
Attempting to operate the Model 7100P Portable analyzer without fully understanding its features
and functions may result in unsafe conditions.
•Always use protective eye wear and observe proper safety procedures when working with
pressurized gases.
•Always assure the pressure of gas entering the Model 7100P Portable analyzer is 1-3 psig.
•Always calibrate the Model 7100P Portable analyzer at an equivalent pressure and flow rate to the
measured gas.
•Always allow the Model 7100P Portable analyzer sensor to cool down before attempting to access
the sensor.
•Properly dispose of the oxygen sensor when it has expired.
•Ensure the MODEL 7100P Portable analyzer has been properly calibrated before use.
•Never expose the analyzer chassis or sensor to water, high humidity or moisture. The analyzer
chassis is not watertight.
•Never expose the MODEL 7100P Portable analyzer to flame or high temperatures.
•Never expose the MODEL 7100P Portable analyzer directly to unregulated gas lines, cylinder gas,
… High gas pressures may cause the oxygen sensor to rupture.
•Ensure the analyzer unit is mounted in an area of free air flow to prevent the chassis from
exceeding the operating temperature specifications. Do not mount the analyzer or sensor against
hot surfaces. Do not block the ventilation louver on the analyzer chassis.
•The standard Model 7100P Portable analyzer is not explosion proof or Intrinsically Safe. Do not
expose to flammable substances.
•Before powering up the model 7100P, it is important to purge the sensor of ambient air.
This will facilitate a quick initial response to ppm levels of oxygen . The sensor used in the
model 7100P Portable analyzer is designed for use in PPM concentrations of oxygen. If the
analyzer is powered up while the sensor is exposed to ambient air, then the sensor will saturate with
oxygen and may require up to 5 minutes recovery time once exposed to trace oxygen gases. To
prevent this delay due to saturation, you should flow ppm level oxygen (or zero gas) to the
sensor before power up. It takes approximately 5 seconds to sweep the sensor out when zero gas
is swept through the analyzer. Then you can apply power to the analyzer. Exposure to air does not
affect the life of the sensor. Likewise, also flow ppm level oxygen to sensor for 5 seconds after
power off.

CHAPTER 1
Principles of Operation
1.1 General
The Model 7100P Portable analyzer by
Neutronics Inc. offers a cost effective
solution in a small package for oxygen
measurement and control applications.
The Model 7100P Portable analyzer is a
microprocessor based instrument
designed to accurately measure PPM
range oxygen. It is ideally suited for
measuring trace levels of oxygen in
applications including High Purity
Welding, Solder Reflow, Metal
Annealing, semiconductor furnaces,
glass manufacture, and inert atmosphere
chambers.
At the heart of the analyzer is a Neutronics Inc. micro-Zirconia ceramic oxygen sensor. The Zirconia
sensor is a solid state device which assures reliability and fast response for critical measurements.
Another advantage is since the sensor is a solid state device, it is unaffected by dry atmospheres, is
undamaged by extremely cold storage temperatures (or power down situations in cold environments),
and has indefinite storage life.

1.3.1 Main Board
The microprocessor-based main board controls the operation of the Model 7100P Portable analyzer.
The main board receives the sensor signal, amplifies it, and provides the control and display functions of
the analyzer.
1.3.2 Relay Board
The Relay Board provides dry contacts for alarms 1 & 2 plus the Fault alarm. Alarm 1 & 2 are field
adjustable setpoints based on the concentration of oxygen. Alarms 1 & 2 may factory configured as
Ascending or Descending trip AND Fail safe or non-Fail Safe. The default settings are ascending and
non-Fail Safe for both alarms 1 & 2. Alarms 1 & 2 are 1 form C (DPDT) relay contacts. The Fault alarm
is a 1 Form B (SPST-N/O held closed during normal operation) relay contact which is factory configured
as Fail Safe and is used for detection of system errors. System errors include Calibration failure, out of
Range, A/D error, and software watchdog.
1.3.3 Power Supplies: The controller power supply board is designed to take 90-250 VAC 50/60 Hz.
as input. The supply is internally fused directly on the board. A secondary 90-250 VAC 50/60 Hz. power
supply is provided to drive the VDC Pump. 7100P Models are available to meet power requirements for
use in North America, Asia or Europe.
1.3.4 Display Board: The Display board is designed to generate a digital indication of the
concentration of oxygen. The Display will also indicate error codes.
