Getting Going Fast……
How to get your 9070 Analyzer working for you with the minimum of fuss…..
1. Plug the power lead into the Analyzer and into the power point.
2. Turn on the power at the power point.
3. Screw the sample pipe onto the 1/8” Swagelok tube connector, on the right hand side of the Analyzer.
4. Wait 10 minutes for the oxygen sensor to get over 700°C.
The display will look like this if the Analyzer is oxygen only.
The display will look like this if the Analyzer is oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Oxygen 20.9%
Sensor Deg 720C
O2 20.9% CO2 0.0
Sensor Deg 720C
The 9070 Analyzer is now reading oxygen (and carbon dioxide if installed).
5. Insert the hypodermic through a septum into a food pack to get a gas reading. Leave the hypodermic in the pack
for 4 to 6 seconds, or until the head space is nearly all pumped out. Don’t suck in the food product.
(See question #1, in Frequently Asked Questions on the next page)
6. If you want to display the minimum oxygen, press the DISPLAY button until the lower line of the display reads
“Sample” like this-
Some of the menu items that may have to be set the first time the Analyzer is used…..
Lower Line
Oxygen 20.9%
Sample 0.68%
1. Select the “Sample mode” (Setup # 26).
Continuous. When the process gas is available continuously. Eg Gas supply monitoring.
Display Sample. When sampling a gas from a food pack.
Fast Sample When sampling a gas from a food pack with very small head space. (<50cc)
2. Select the “Display Mode” (Setup # 27)
Oxygen % The oxygen will be displayed as a percentage down to 0.1%, then ppm down to 0.1ppm.
Oxygen PPM The oxygen will always be displayed as parts per million.
O2/CO2 % only The same as ‘Oxygen %’ with carbon dioxide also displayed.
O2/CO2 %/PPM The same as ‘Oxygen PPM’ with carbon dioxide also displayed.
3. Select the alarm levels, if either a light or a relay contact is required if the oxygen/carbon dioxide is high/low.

High Oxygen Setup # 39
Low Oxygen Setup # 41
Very Low Oxygen Setup # 43
High Carbon Dioxide Setup # 45
Low Carbon Dioxide Setup # 47
4. Select the output range for one or both output channels. ie To allow the oxygen or carbon dioxide to be
transmitted to another instrument.
Channel 1, Setup # 20 to 22
eg Oxygen 0.1 to 100.0%
Low Oxygen 10 to 10,000 PPM
Channel 2, Setup # 23 to 25
eg Sample Oxygen
Low Oxygen
Carbon dioxide
Frequently Asked Questions……..
1. How do I insert the hypodermic needle into the food pack?
Cut a 1.5 cm length of the septum strip. Peal the backing tape off. Squeeze the food pack to get the gas into one place.
Press the septum piece firmly onto the plastic wrapping film. Insert the hypodermic needle into the headspace through
the septum without touching the food product.
Leave the needle in the food pack until the pack has nearly collapsed, or at least 4 seconds for an oxygen measurement,
and 6 seconds for an oxygen and carbon dioxide measurement.
The septum strip will self-seal and can be re-used several times.
2. How often do I have to calibrate the Analyzer?
Oxygen – Once per year.
The 9070 uses the extremely stable zirconia oxygen sensor technology. In addition, the Analyzer automatically
corrects for any drift in the Analyzer.
Carbon dioxide – Every 6 months, or for critical applications every 2 - 3 months.
The carbon dioxide sensor uses a specifically designed infra red source to increase the signal strength and reduce the
effect of sensor drift. However optical measurements are not absolute measurements like the zirconia oxygen sensor,
so occasional checks on a calibration gas confirm the accuracy.
3. Why are there 3 sample modes, and which one should I use?
The 9070 Analyzer can read and display the current level of oxygen and carbon dioxide,
or
It can pick the minimum/maximum oxygen and the maximum carbon dioxide.
Use ‘Continuous’ mode if the Analyzer is to read a continuous supply of gas, such as monitoring a gas blanket over
milk powder.
Use either ‘Display Sample’ or ‘Fast Sample’ if the gas to be tested is in a food pack. The size of the pack will
determine which of these two modes to use. Use Fast Sample if the package has less than 50cc head space. The
Display Sample mode has the added advantage of displaying the oxygen and carbon dioxide levels as they change
through the testing process.
4. Why does the back of the cabinet get so warm?
The zirconia oxygen sensor runs at about 720°C. The small furnace is mounted in the vented section at the back of the
cabinet.
5. When should I replace the small disc filter on the hypodermic needle?
It will depend on the application, but you will know that the filter is blocked when the response time is much quicker
when the filter is removed. The filters are much cheaper than the oxygen sensor. Keep spares handy.

USING THIS MANUAL
The Teledyne Analytical Instruments9070 Trace Oxygen Analyzer has a variety of user-selectable functions.
They are simple to use because each selection is menu driven. For options you are not sure about, read the manual on
that particular item.
Please read the safety information below and the ‘Installation’ section before connecting power to the Analyzer.
CAUTION 1
The oxygen sensor heater is supplied with mains voltage. This supply has electrical shock danger to maintenance
personnel. Always isolate the Analyzer before working with the oxygen sensor.
The oxygen sensor must ALWAYS be connected to EARTH.
CAUTION 2
The oxygen sensor which is heated to 720°C (1320°F) in this instrument can be a source of ignition in applications
where fuel gases or very high oxygen percentages (above 50%) are present. For these applications, it will be necessary
to provide a sampling line made of flame proof material, with adequate flashback arresters. If this configuration does
not suit or if it is possible for raw fuel to come into contact with a hot oxygen sensor then the Model 9070 Analyzer
with a heated sensor may be unsuitable for your application.
