Safety Considerations
The 1313 Fermentation Monitor is designed and tested to comply with EN 61010-1 (1993)
and IEC 1010 – 1 (1990); Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement,
control, and laboratory use. The protection provided by the instrument may be impaired if not
used as specified by Innova AirTech Instruments. To ensure safe operation and retain the
monitor in safe condition, special note should be made of the following:
Explosion Hazard!
TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF AN E XPLOSION, MONITORING OF FLAMMABLE
GASES IN EXPLOSIVE CONCENTRATIONS MUST NEVER BE ATTEMPTED.
Never operate this monitor in potentially explosive environments.
When monitoring potentially flammable or toxic gases it is essential:
• The instrument itself is placed in a well-ventilated area outside t he potentially hazardous
zone; and
• That a sufficiently long tube is connected to the Gas Outlet on the back panel so that the
sampled gas is carried away to the open air or to an extraction and/or filtration unit.
Warnings!
• Water condensation in the instrument will damage it severely, and must therefore be
avoided.
• Switch off all equipment before connecting or disconnecting their digital interface. Failure
to do so could damage the equipment.
• Whenever it is likely that the correct function or operating safety of the apparatus has
been impaired, the apparatus must be made inoperative and be secured against unintended
operation.
• Any adjustment, maintenance and repair of the open apparatus under voltage must be
avoided as far as possible and, if unavoidable, must be carried out by trained service
personnel only.
• The instrument contains a lithium battery. Under no circumstances should this battery be
removed by the user as t here is a dan ger of explosion. The lithium battery should only be
removed by an LumaSense Technical Support representative.
Applying Power Before using this apparatus, verify that the correct fuses are installed.
The instrument must always be operated with its chassis at earth potential. Only use power
outlets that can supply an earth to the instrument.

1.1 Broad Overview
The 1313 Fermentation Monitor simultaneously measures the concentration of carbon
dioxide, oxygen and a specified hydrocarbon in a gas flow. The concentration of each
gas is expressed as a volume percentage referenced to dry gas condition. Addit ionally,
the concentration of the hydrocarbon can be expressed in mg/m3.
The measurement principles are based on photoacoustic spectroscopy and magnetoacoustic spectroscopy. A full discussion of these principles is contained in section 1.4.
The monitor is designed to be integrated into permanent monitoring systems to provide
fast and accurate meas urement results over a wid e range of concentrations. Measurement results can be transferr ed via the moni tor’s anal ogue inter faces to a p rocess-computer or a personal computer (PC).
The monitor comes complete with PC software that allows you to configure and calibrate the monitor prior to measuring, display the measurement data graphically while
measurements are b ein g m ade. The s to r ed d ata ca n be re cal led at a l at er st a ge fo r clo s er
examination.
Communication between the PC and the process computer is possible using the
COMLI and OPTOMUX protocols. This communication enables you to access information from the 1313 and the 1309; and select the sampling sequence mode.
1.2 Monitor System Description
Fig.1.1 shows a block diagram of the 1313 Fermentation Monitor.
There are four basic blocks:
Control Software and PC Interface
Electro-mechanical and Electro-acoustic Measuring System
Alarm Relay and Analogue Outputs
Power Supply
1.2.1 Control Software and PC Interface
This block contains microprocessor based electroni cs that take care of interfaci ng the
monitor to a PC via an RS-232 link, send control data to the measuring system and receive measurement data from the measuring system.
There are no external controls on the monitor apart from the mains On/Off switch. All
configuration of the monitor is, therefore, done over the serial link using a PC running
the specially developed BZ 6009 software.

Fig.1.1 Block diagram of the 1313 Fermentation Monitor
However, the monitor does have operating system software contained in read-only
memory. When the monitor is powered up, this internal software checks the system to
ensure it is working correctly and starts the monitor in the configuration it was in just
before the last power shut-down. This configuration is held in an EEPROM and can
only be changed by using the PC software.
This means that once configured and calibrated, you can disconnect the PC and monitor
the actual gas con centrations via t he 0 – 24 mA outputs. If you want to r ecord the results of measurem ents over t ime on a dat a-file, you must have the PC connected, since
the results file is stored on the PC’s disk system.
1.2.2 Electro-mechanical and Electro-acoustic Mea s ur ing Sy ste m
This block is the heart of the monitor. It contains all the mechanics, transducers and
processing electro nics necessary to do highly accurate meas urement of gas concentr ations.
Measurement samples a re sucked into the measu rement chambers via the Gas Inlet or
the Calibration Gas Inlet, depending upon the position of the moveable link (part of the
particle filter, see Fig.1.1). The internal gas-circuits are ar ranged such that sampl es p ass
through the measurement chambers in a continuous flow. Exhaust gases are expelled
via the gas outlet. The reference gas used fo r oxygen meas urements (normall y ambient
air) is drawn via the Ref. O2 Inlet.
1.2.3 Alarm Relay and Analogue Outputs
In this functional block, the electrical equivalent of the measured concentrations in the
sample gases are o utput as cu rrents (0-24 mA), which can be used to interface to other
monitoring equipment, for example a process computer.

Instruction Manual Page 10 of 116
Alarm output indicating high percentage and low percentage concentration of the
measured gases are also available.
The concentrations that cause the alarms to activate and the value of the current output
with respect to a specific concentration are user definable.
1.2.4 Power Supply
The power supply included in the 1313 can be directly connected to a wide range of
single phase mains supplies and still be able to produce the stable voltages required to
keep the monitor within calibration.
The fan unit fixed to the front panel provides forced ventilation to keep the power supply, electronics and mechanical parts in the system cool. The fan intake and the rear
panel ventilation slots must be kept clear at all times.
1.3 Software Description
The BZ 6009 software is menu driven specifically written to control the 1313 monit or.
The software allows you to change the operational parameters and see t he results of
measurements on the PC screen.
The software can also be used to control up to three 1309 Multipoint Samplers. Including these instruments in your system allows up to 36 different sample points to be
measured by the 1313.
The software has the capabilit y of being controlled remotely by a process control computer using a process control interface based upon an RS–232 serial link. You can thus
integrate your 1313 measuring system into a much larger monitoring and control environment.
You can also use the PC’s filing system to save a series of measurements for later recall
either by the BZ 6009 s oftware or any other PC software that can interp ret a comma
delimited file, for example certain spreadsheet programs.
Note though that the save-to-disk process is not a dump of data from the 1313 to the
PC, but a process in which the data file on the PC is updated continuously.
Therefore, to use the PC to log data, it must be constantly attached to the 1313. This
contrasts with the analogue outputs, which are always active during measurement,
whether the PC is connected or not.
As well as providing control over the measurement configuration of the monitor, the
software also has comprehensive calibration procedures that allow you to calibrate the
monitor against known reference gas concentrations.
1.3.1 SF6 Version
A special version of the User Software is available for the 3429 and 1313 modified for
SF6 as the BZ6010 software. Throughout this Manual for the 1313 Fermentation

Monitor, BZ6009 should be substituted with BZ6010, and CHx should be substituted
with SF6.
1.4 Acoustic Gas Measurement
Acoustic techniques for gas measurement are based on the principle that if energy is
applied to a gas it will expand. Expansion causes an increase in pressure. If the applied
energy is delivered in pulses, the pressure increase will be intermittent, resulting in a
pressure fluctuation. The fluctuating pressure will manifest itself as a sound wave,
which can be “listened to” by a microphone. The microphone will give an electrical
output proportional to the intensity of the pressure fluctuations, which in turn are proportional to the concentration of the gas present.
The gases of major interest here are hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide and oxygen. Hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide readily absorb infra-red light, so this can be used as the applied energy source to give pressure fluctuations. Oxygen is not affected by infra-red
light in the same way, but is highly susceptible to magnetic “energy”, so this is used to
give pressure fluctuations.
When using light as a stimulant to produce the sound wave, the technique is called
photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS). When the stimulant is magnetism, the term magnetoacoustic spectroscopy is used.
A further gas property that is used in PAS is that the wavelengths of infra-r ed light that
each gas type absorbs is different. To benefit from this property, a gas sample is irradiated with infra-red light chosen to contain the wavelengths best absorbed by the gas.
These wavelengths are then pulsed at different rates to produce different sound waves.
By correctly filterin g the microphon e signal, the concentr ation of each t ype of gas can
be measured, even when they are part of the same sample.
Photoacoustic Spectroscopy in the 1 313
The 1313 has four major components in its PAS based measuring system (see also
Fig.1.2):
• A stable infra-red source
• Mechanical pulsation system
• Measurement chamber
• Microphone
The infra-red source provides infra-red light with a broadband spectrum. Unless the
amount of light and spectral content is kept constant for every measurement, it is not
possible to determine the absolute gas concentration referred to a calibration gas.
Therefore, the infr a-red source is kept stable by electronic feedb ack systems, thus ensuring the quantity and spectral content remains constant.
Chapter 1

BE6007-16 1313 Fermentation Monitor LumaSense Technologies A/S
Instruction Manual Page 12 of 116
The infra-red point source is located at the focus of a concave mirror. This is used to
provide a beam of infra-red light, which is focused through the chopper wheel into the
measurement chamber.
The chopper wheel is driven by an electric motor running at a constant speed. The
chopper wheel consists of three sets of concentric holes. The full infra-red beam from
the mirror is incident on one side of the chopper wheel. After passing through the holes
in the wheel, the beam is effectively divided into three beams pulsating at different frequencies. The pulsation frequency is determined by the whole spacing and motor
speed.
Fig.1.2 Schematic representation of the measurement system
In terms of rise time and ambient noise suppression, a high pulsation frequency is desirable. However, one must also consider that high frequencies also result in less time
for the applied ener gy to affect the gas, giving smaller output signals from the microphone. The frequencies used in the 1313 are chosen to give a balance between the signal level and noise suppression requirements.
Each light beam now passes through an optical filter located on the measurement
chamber. The focusing of each pulsating beam is arranged such that it only passes
through one filter. Each filter only allows one specific wavelength of infra-red light to
pass. Thus the beams entering the measurement chamber from the filters will be nearly
monochromatic, but still pulsating at their specific frequency.
The filter wavelengths are optimised to match the absorption spectra of hydrocarbons,
carbon dioxide and water vapour.
Chapter 1

BE6007-16 1313 Fermentation Monitor LumaSense Technologies A/S
Instruction Manual Page 13 of 116
The filter associated with hydrocarbons is centred on 3.4 µm (2950 cm-1), the filter associated with carbon dioxide is centred on 4.3 µm (2350 cm-1), and the filter ass ociated
with water vapour is centred on 5.3 µm (1900 cm-1). Water vapour is measured to compensate for the humidity of the sampled gas.
In the measurement cha mber th e three beam s, whi ch diff er in wavel ength and p ulsat ion
frequency, each excite their respective gas (if present). The absorption of the incident
light will cause the gas to expand and contract at a frequency equal to the pulsation frequency. The resulting sound waves will fill the measurement chamber and be propagated further on in the gas circuit. A microphone is mounted close to the measurement
chamber such that it can “hear” the gases.
The output of the microphone will be a complex waveform made up of t he individual
intensities and f requencies associated with ea ch gas. This waveform is amplified and
converted into a digital signal. A digital signal processor then extracts the individual
components of the combined signal. The three resulting digital waveforms will be proportional to the concentration of the gas in the measurement chamber.
By calibrating the system with known concentrations of hydrocarbon, carbon dioxide,
oxygen and water, the absolute concentration values can be calculated.
Advantages of Photoacoustic Spectroscopy
Photoacoustic gas measu rement is based on t he same principles as conventional infrared base gas anal ysers, nam ely the abili ty to absorb infra-red light. However, there are
some important differences between PAS and these conventional techniques.
In the standard IR-analyser, the energy abso rbed by the gas sample is measured indi-
rectly by measuring the transmission through the measurement chamber and comparing
it to that transmitted through a reference cell. With P AS the amount of infra-red absorbed is measured directly by measuring the sound energy emitted on the absorption
of light. This means PAS is highly accurate with very little instability. For example,
zero point drift is small as zero is always reached when no gas is pr esent – with no gas
present there is virtually no acoustic signal.
Furthermore, with PAS all gases and vapours can be monitored simultaneously in a
single measurement chamber when the correct filtering of the microphone signal is
used. The use of a microphone is also a major difference over traditional IR-analysers
that use photo-sensors to detect the signal. In the 1313 an optimised condenser microphone is used as the detector.
LUMASENSE have many year s experience with such microphones and th e processing
of microphone signals. The microphones and associated processing electronics used in
the 1313 are of an exceptionally high quality. They give a high degree of stability and
reliability, which means calibration is rarely required.

Magnetoacoustic Spectroscopy in the 1313
The 1313 has two major components in its Magnetoacoustic Spectrosco py based meas uring system (see also Fig.1.2):
• A switched magnetic field
• Microphone
In PAS, the ener gy sour ce t o exci te th e gas i s in fra-red light. In magneto acoustic spectroscopy, the source i s a magnetic field . An alternating ma gnetic field appli ed to a gas
containing oxygen will cause the oxygen to expand and contract, causing sound waves,
as in PAS. Unlike PAS however, elaborate filtering techniques do not need to be applied to the excitation energy since ox ygen is the only paramagnetic gas that will be
measured by the 1313.
There is no actual measurement ch amber in the o xygen measuring circuit. Instead, the
gas sample is subjected to the magnetic field just after it has passed the PAS system.
Because the frequency of the magnetic field is chosen to be different from those used in
the PAS system, the same microphone can be used to detect the sound waves resulting
from the oxygen expansion and contraction.
In theory, the absolute value of the oxygen in the sample gas can be directly measured
in this way. However, to obtain the same degree of accuracy in measuring gas concentrations as that obtained using PAS, the measured signal is compared to a r efer enc e s i gnal.
The reference si gnal is generated b y passing a reference gas containing a known co ncentration of oxygen through the same magnetic field as the sample gas. The reference
gas will also produce a sound wave directly proportional to its oxygen content. This
sound wave is measu red by a second micropho ne solely associated with the reference
gas circuit. The output of this microphone is passed into a similar digital processing
system as the sample microphone.
When the processing system has extracted the information about the oxygen concentration in the sample and the reference, the two measurements can be compared to the
stated concentrati on of the reference gas. An y difference betwe en the reference gas’s
measured and stat ed concentration wil l be used as an of fset to correctl y determine the
absolute concentration in the sample gas.
In normal practic e ambie nt ai r is u sed as the refer ence gas fo r the o x ygen m easuremen t
as it contains a stable amount of oxygen – 20.95 % referenced to dry gas condition.

2.1 Installing the Monitor
The 1313 monitor is designed to fit in a 19 inch rack. The front pan el has a s erial-link
socket for the PC interface and a gas inlet for calibration gases. The mains input, analogue output, alarm relay output, sample gas inlet and outlet for expelled gas samples
are located on the rear panel.
2.1.1 Operating Environment
The following environmental conditions must be observed:
• Safe ambient operating temperatures range from 10°C to 40°C (50°F to 104°F).
• Humidity should not exceed 90% RH non-condensing at 40°C.
• Vibrations must be avoided as these can upset the quality of the measurement
data.
• Keep the front panel fan intake and rear panel ventilation slots unobstructed at
all times.
Warning! The monitor is not intended for use in explosive environments and should be
kept well away from flammable gases and liquids. Avoid excessive heat, dust and direct sunlight.
2.1.2 Transportation Protection
The monitor is equipped with two special locking-screws for prevention of acci dental
damage to the measurement transducers during transportation. These protection screws
must always be loosened before the monitor is used.
Loosening the transport protection screws should be carried out by a qualified technician.
Caution! Be careful not to touch the chopper wheel when loosening the protection
screws!
To loosen the transportation screws:
1. Ensure that the monitor is disconnected from the mains power supply.
2. Remove the ten pozidrive screws that secure the top plate in position and lift
this plate off.
3. Locate the protection screws (see Fig.2.1).
4. Loosen the screws by rotating them anti-clockwise until they cannot be turned
any more.
5. Replace the top plate and re-secure it in place.

Fig.2.1 The transportation screws (indicated by arrows)
Note: it is not necessary to use the transport protection during local movement of the
monitor. However, the protection screws should be tightened again before the monitor
is moved over longer distances.
2.1.3 Current-loop and Alarm Relay Outputs
The 1313 has analogue outputs giving a current (between 0 mA and 24 mA) equivalent
to the gas concentration, and two isolated single-pole relay contacts giving over- and
under- concentration alarms.
The analogue output connector is located on the rear panel of the monitor (see Fig.2.2).
The connector has sixteen individual screw terminals, which are assigned as shown in
Table 2.1.
The higher numbered terminal in a pair is positive. The three analogue outputs are galvanically isolated from each other and from the chassis.
The ground connections are all connected together internally and are provided as an anchoring point for any screens that your data-cables may have. To comply with EN
50082–2 (Immunity to RF fields), it is necessary to use screened cables an d co nn ect t he
screens to the chassis terminals.
To connect wires to the analogue output connector:
1. Choose the desired screw terminal.
2. Using a flat-blade s crewdriver, loosen the s crew imm ediately abov e the desired
terminal number.
3. Insert the wire into the terminal above the loosened screw.
4. Tighten the screw again, ensuring that the wire is now gripped firmly in the
terminal.

The range of the signals that come from the current outputs are user-scalable (the usable range is between 0 and 24 mA). This enables you to select a ran ge that best suits
the concentrations of the gas you are measuring, and obtain the optimum resolution for
the process computer. These definable v alues are set via th e PC soft ware. Defin ition is
described in section 3.3.1.

2.1.4 The Gas Sample Line
The gas to be sampled (measured) is drawn from the sample point via a sample line at a
flow rate of 130 ml/min. Various types of sample lines are available depending on the
individual applications. The sample line tubing between the sample point and the
monitor should be kept as short as possible to assist response times. If you are unsure
about the type of sample line for your application, contact your LUMASENSE representative for advice before installing the system.
The pressure differ ence bet ween the monitor’s gas inlet and the ambient must be in the
range from – 5.3 kPa to +2 kPa. When a positive higher pressure exists, a surplus path
to the ambient can be established.
A 3.3 kPA pressure drop across the sampling line used corresponds to the following
sample tube lengths:
• Inner diameter of 1 mm gives a length of 2.5 m
• Inner diameter of 2 mm gives a length of 40 m
Note: You must use a filter in the gas-line immediately before the gas-line enters the
monitor. The UD 5057 in-line filter (opt ional accessory) is ideal for this purpose. For
details of changing the filter element in the UD 5057, please refer to section 4.2.
The gas inlet for the sample line is located on the rear panel of the monitor. The standard nozzle installed accepts PTFE tubing with a 4 mm external diameter. LumaSense
recommends that the internal diameter of the tube is 2 mm. Be sure to press the tubing
as far into the nozzle as possible to ensure a gas tight seal.
Moreover, to help humidify or de-humidify the sample gas, LumaSense also recommends that at least a 1 m length of Nafion® tubing be incorporated into the sample line.
If the dew point of the gas sample is comparable to the temperature in the monitor,
Nafion tubing can be used to remove water and eliminate the risk of condensation inside the monitor. If the gas sample is completely dry, it is advisable to humidify the
sample by using Nafion tubing as this will improve the precision of the CO
2
measure-
ment.
Nafion is impermeable to O2, CO2, CH4 and most other hydrocarbons, whereas alcohols
and other gases will completely or partly penetrate through the material. Contact an
LUMASENSE Technical Support representative for advice on whether or not to use
Nafion when monitoring a particular gas.
You should protect the Nafion tubing against the effects of ultra-violet light, as this reduces the tubes lifetime. Nafion tubing should be replaced at regular intervals to ensure
that it still behaves according to specification.
After entering the monitor, every gas sample immediately passes through the particle
filter located on the front panel. To inspect the condition of the particle filter, please see
section 4.2.

The standard nozzles can be removed to enable other adapters or connectors to be fitted. When the nozzle is removed, the gas inlet has an 1/8th inch British Standard Parallel (BSP) thread. It is important that any other connectors used here have exactl y the
same thread.
2.1.5 Mains Supply
Warning. The monitor must be used with protective earthing.
The monitor operates in the AC voltage range from 85 – 264V on a single phase su pply, 50 Hz – 60 Hz.
The power cable is connected to a socket on th e r ear panel. The on-off swit ch i s l ocat ed
immediately above this socket.
2.1.6 Checking and Changing the Fuses
On delivery, two 20 mm T1.6 A slow-blow fuses are installed in the monitor – one i n
the live and one in the neutral mains feed. If you want the monitor to conform to CSAapproved standards, you must use the additional fuse holders (JS 0075) supplied with
the instrument, but using 32 mm T1.6 A slow-blow fuses instead. When replacing fuses
always ensure that the correct fuses are used.
To check and change the fuses:
1. Remove the power cable from the mains socket.
2. Insert a small screwd river under the top edge of the plate co vering this socket
and use it to lever the plate downwards. See Fig.2.3.
Note: The cover cannot be removed when the power cable is connected to the monitor.

Instruction Manual Page 26 of 116
2.3 Connecting the Monitor to the PC
In order that the 1313 monitor and PC can communicate, you must link the two together. The monitor has a standard RS – 232, 25-pin D-range male socket on its front
panel. This is the digital interface used to communicate with the 1313 monitor. This
must be connected to a free serial port (COM port) on your computer using a serial interface cable.
We strongly recommend that you order serial interface cable WL 0945 (25-pin to 9pin)
or WL 0946 (25-pin to 25-pin) from LumaSense Technologies A/S. This will ensure
problem-free communication between the monitor and the software. The interface cable
must be ordered separately. The standard length of the cable is 1.5 m, but you should
state the length of cable required to meet your needs when you order. The pin connections for the cables are shown in Fig.2.5.
LumaSense provide, as an optional accessory with part no. JV 0901, a converter fro m
RS-232 to USB.
Before connecting eithe r end of the s erial interfa ce cable to th e respectiv e instrument, ensure that both instruments are turned off, otherwise you are liable to dam age
the sensitive circuitry in either the monitor, the computer, or both.
When making the connection to the computer, note down which COM port you have
used – you will require this information to set up the communication parameters, in
section 2.9. You may choose to use the ports COM1 to COM9. If you are unsure, refer
to information about your computer to identify the port name.

2.6 Using the Software
This section explains the various parts of the screen and tells you how to use the menu
system to “drive” the software. Feel free to try the various movement commands as you
read through this text. Note: If an incor rect COM port is set, not every screen will be
available to you (see section 2.9).
2.6.1 Screen Layout
Nearly every screen presented in t he BZ 6009 software is b ased upon the same screen
design. The main exception to this is the measurement screen. The Main Menu screen,
see Fig.2.6, is an example of a “standard” screen.
Title Bar
Located at the top of the screen, this area gives the title of the BZ6009 program.
Menu Bar
Located below the title bar, this area offers pull-down menus used for choosing the different setups, measurement, calibration or utilities.
Workspace
The workspace is the main area of a screen on which information and parameter values
are printed.
Information
Read-only information appears in popup windows when the Mouse - Cursor is held
over an input field. It either tells you the name of a parameter that can be altered or
some properties about the parameter.
Input Fields
Workspace text t hat appears in white field shows the current value of a parameter that
can be changed or selected by you.
2.6.2 Moving around th e Sc re en
The BZ 6009 is menu-driven software. You move around the screen to highlight the
parameter or option fields you want to work with.
The <Tab> key will move the cursor to the next field.

2.6.3 Entering Values
Enter numeric values via the keyboard. Positioning the cursor over a numeric value will
display a popup text to tell you what to do.
If you enter a value that is out of the expected range, there wi ll b e an erro r windo w and
you must enter a value within range.
When you move the highlight away from a field, the value in the field at that time remains the current one, that is, it is entered into the system. You do not press <Enter>
to accept a value.
Pressing on <ok> returns you to the Main Menu and writes any changes you have made
either to the configuration file or to the 1313 monitor, whichever is appropriate.
2.6.4 Information Screens
When the BZ6009 software is changing from one screen to another an information-only
screen is often presented. The information is usually about a communications process
that the software is working on, for example establishing the link to the monitor. If the
communication fails for any reason, you will see error messages on this screen.
Some information-only screens appear for a limited ti me (say 5 seconds ) and disappear
automatically.

2.7 Test 1313 & 1309
Selecting this option (Test 1313/1309) from the Utilities Pull-down menu brings up a
screen showing any current and internally logged errors detected by the monitor.
This is useful in helping with the diagnosis of any problems you may be having with
the system.
Fig.2.7 The BZ 6009’s Test 1313/1309 Screen
The BZ 6009 and 1313 have built-in test procedures that are able to monitor various
electronic and mechani cal parts – for example, the flow rate, memory checksum, interface and so on. If anything abnormal is detected with any of the parameters test ed for,
the error will be repo rted eit her directl y on the PC s creen or b y the Service LED bein g
illuminated.
The monitor is able to take limited action itself to rectify an error, for instance performing a reset of the microprocessor system if the fault lies in this area. If it can rectify the fault, the monitor will proceed as it was before interrupted.
Errors generated in the 1313/1309 are also logged internally for subsequent display by
the Test 1313/1309 optio n. Logged errors are erased from the lo g after they have b een
displayed once on the Test 1313/1309 Screen.

3.2.2 General Set-up
There are seven parameters associated with this part of the screen:
• Auto Start
• 1313 Connection
• Remote
• Remote Interface Protocol
• COMLI Slave Address
• Data Recording
• File Name
Auto Start
This option enables the software to start up directly in the measurement screen. It is
often used to ensure that on-screen display of measurements will continue automatically after a power failu re. The parameters used for the display are those set when the
program was last configured.
In order to invoke automatic measurement screen display, the Auto Start option must
be set to ON.
The 1313 monitor will always restart in measurement mode.
1313 Connection
This option enables you to choose the correct serial interface port on the PC that the
1313 monitor is connected to. You only need to use this option during the initial installation of the software on a computer (see section 2.9).
Remote
This option must be set to OFF unless the PC running the BZ 6009 software is also
connected as a slave to a process control computer. Also the serial port (COM port) you
are using to connect the PC to the process control computer if applicabl e. For more information on the remote option, please refer to Chapter 7.
Remote Interface Protoco l
This option must be set in order to select the communication protocol that you are using
towards the process control computer. The COMLI or the OPTOMUX communication
protocol can be sel ected. For more information on the remote interface protocol option,
please refer to Chapter 7.
Chapter 3

COMLI Slave Address
This option sets the COMLI slave address of the PC. This address is required when
using the COMLI protocol to communicate with the process computer. The possible
slave addresses is from 1 to 255. For more information on the COMLI slave address
option, please refer to Chapter 7.
Data Recording
Data recording has two options: ON and OFF.
When ON is displayed, all the measurement data from the monitor is stored in the file
defined in the File Name option (see below). When OFF is displayed, the function is
disabled.
File Name
The directory and filename for the data file can be selected by using the Button: “Select
Data File”.
A filename extension is not necessary but can be added i.e. .txt
Date Stamp and Serial Number can be inserted into the filename.
If Date Stamp is ON: YYMMDD is added to the filename, where YY is year, MM is
month and DD is day of the month.
If Serial Number is ON: Xnn will be added to the filename, where nn is the serial
number of the file, running from 01 - 99. If the BZ6009 application is restarted, the
serial number will be incremented by 1.
Example: Directory and filename is defined to be: Z:\log.txt
If the “Date Stamp” is enabled, the resulting filename will be: Z:\logYYMMDD.txt.
If the “Serial Number” is enabled, the resulting filename will be: Z:\log.Xnn.txt
If both “Date St amp” and “Serial Number” are e nabled, the resu lting filenam e will be
Z:\logYYMMDD.Xnn.txt

When you stop a measurement, the current data file will be closed. Should you restart
measurement in the same software session (i.e. without quitting the program), you will
be given the choice t o ei th er app end t h e n ew m e as u remen t d ata t o t he fi l e n am ed on the
set-up screen, or erase the existing data and rebuild the data file.
The measured data is stored in a format that is easily transferred to, and used by,
spreadsheet programs like for instance Microsoft Excel.
The format of the data in the file is shown below.
Data separator: comma
Text delimiter: none
Decimal separator: 0.00
3.2.3 Gas Curves
This part of the set-up screen determines what is displayed on th e measurement screen
when you select Measurement. It allows you to choose:
• Which gas concentrations are displayed on the screen
• The Y-axis scaling for the individual gases
• The units for hydrocarbon measurement
• The data rate
Displayed Gas Curves
To define which gas co ncent ratio n cu rves are sh own on the measu rem ent screen, select
the status (ON/OFF) to t he right of the desired gas and select between ON (display gas
curve) and OFF (hide gas curve).
Data Rate
The monitor continuously makes measurements on the gas sample (up to 20 a second).
The value of the m easurement is averaged wi th a cumulative display-average to produce a new cumulative display-average. The data rate defines ho w long the averaging
process continues before the cumulative display-average is displayed on the screen.
After display, the cumulative display-average is set t o zero and a new set of measurements begins for the next averaging period.
The data rate can only be defined for carbon dioxide, but the other gases adopt the same
data rate automaticall y. The data rate can range from 1 to 999 seconds in one second
steps.
Attention must be paid to this parameter when Data Recording is enabled. For example,
if you are using the monitor to measure gas samples over a long period of time, say
several days, a short data rate will create a very large data file.

Scaling
These values set the scale of th e Y-axes for th e three graphs displa yed during a measurement.
Choose minimum (bottom scale value) and maximum (top scale value) concentrations.
The displayed values are scaled to fill the screen height between these values. The
minimum concentration can be larger than the maximum concentration, thus “inverting” the curve.

This option allows you to choose the displayed measurement units for the h ydrocarbon.
You can choose between volume % and mg/m3. When the latt er is selected two mor e
fields appear where you should enter the normalisation pressure (kPa) and temperature
(°C) which are to be used in the conversion to mg/m3 from %.
The normalisation pressure is default set to 101.3 kPa (1 atm.). The values of pressure
and temperature entered should be regarded as the standard condition to which your
measurement will be normalised. Normally this standard condition is different from the
actual pressure and temperature at the sampling point.
Carbon dioxide and oxygen are always displayed as volume %.
3.2.4 1309 Sampling
Unless you have a 1309 Multipoint Sampler connected to your PC, Status must be set
to OFF.
The values of the following three parameters have no meaning when Status is OFF:
Sampling Period
Flushing Time
Repeated Sampling Sequence
When status is set to ON, these three parameters must be set.
Sampling Period
The sampling period spe cifies how l ong ea ch ele ment of t he samp le sequ ence will last.
Each element is associ ate d wit h a gas ch annel . A n el emen t o f a sampling sequence consists of two parts, flushing time and averaging time.
The flushing time is the time when the 1313 is not recording measurements.
The averaging time is the difference between the sampling period and the flushing
time. For example, if the sampling time is 60 seconds and the flushing time 45 seconds,
the averaging time will be 15 seconds. In these 15 seconds, the sample gas passing

through the measurem ent chambers is repeatedly measu red. After the 15 s econds have
passed, the average of al l the measu rements m ade is c alculated an d used as the curr ent
measurement value for the gas channel connected.
The gas curves for a particular gas chan nel displayed on the measurement screen wi ll
be updated at a rate equival ent to the length of the sampl e sequence. The exception to
this is gas channel 1313. Gas channel 1313 can b e considered to be th e gas line from
the 1309 to the 1313. The display rate for this channel is set by the Data Rate value on
the BZ 6009 Set-up screen (see section 3.2.3).
The sampling time can have a minimum value of 1 second and a maximum of 9999
seconds.
Note that depending upon the sampling order of the gas channels, the flushing time
may automatically be set to zero for certain elements of the sampling sequence (see
Repeated Sampling Sequence).
Flushing Time
The flushing time is set to a value that will ensure all traces of the previous sample
have been expel led from the measurement chambers. The time is dep endent upon the
length of sample line connecting the 1309 to the 1313.
The flushing time can have a minimum value of 0 seconds and a maximum of 9998
seconds. The flushing time must always be smaller than the sampling time. This implies that the minimum averaging time allowed is 1 second.
Repeated Sampling Sequence
Each 1309 connected to the system has up to twelve gas channels available. For 1309
number 1 these are known as gas channels 1 to 12. The second and third 1309’s hav e
gas channels 13 to 24 and 25 to 36, respectively.
In the Repeated Sam pling Sequ ence fi eld you can specif y a sequenc e of up t o 72 channels. You type in each channel number in the sequence separated from the next by
spaces. Repeated channels are allowed. This allows you to monitor critical sample
points more frequently. When the sampling sequence has been completed it will restart
from the beginning.
For example, consider the following set-up:
Sampling time: 60 seconds
Flushing Time: 30 seconds
Repeated Sampling Sequence: 1 2 2 3 4 1 2 2 3 5 1 2 2 3 6

3.3 Hardware Configuration
This section describes how you set-up the limits to be used with the analogue outputs
and alarm relays in the 1313. The configuration of these hardware limits is done via
software. There are no physical controls.
3.3.1 0 – 24 mA Set-up
When the Main Menu screen displayed, select 0-24mA Set-up from the Setup pulldown menu.
Note: When you enter this screen, the alarm light will come on. This is an indication
that the system is unable to provide alarms, since you are about to change parameters
that affect alarm status.
To set the analogue outputs:
Press the “Perform Analogue Output Set-up”-button.
Press the “Exit”-button to exit the screen.

Fig.3.2 The Analogue Output Set-up screen
For information on connecting the analogue outputs to other equipment, see section
2.1.3.
There are three analogue outputs from the monitor. They are configured as currentloops, capable of giving up to 24 mA. The instantaneous current on these loops is proportional to the value of the gas concentration associated with the loop. The actual
value of the current depends upon how you have set the limits using this option screen.
During set-up and fault conditions in the monitor, all currents will be zero.
Output Current
The two fields associated with this option specify the minimum current (low) and the
maximum current (high) for all three analogue outputs. The low current must always be
less than the high current. The highest current output available is 24 mA. If you want to
set the high current to a value less than the existing low current value, you must change
the low value first. The help bar will guide you.
By adjusting the low and high currents, in combination with t he as sociat ed gas co ncen trations, you can effectively control the offset and gain of the analogue output sent to
the attached equipment (plotter, chart recorder, etc).
Carbon Dioxide
The two fields associated with this option specify the percentage carbon dioxide to be
associated with the set low and high currents.
Chapter 3
_________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
BE6007-16 1313 Fermentation Monitor LumaSense Technologies A/S
Instruction Manual Page 42 of 116
If you change the output current limits, the previous concentration limits are scaled
automatically to the new range, such that the same current is output for the same concentration as before the chan ge. If the suggested values are not co rrect, change them,
getting guidance from the help bar if necessary.
For example, you have set the minimum current to be 5 mA and the maximum current
to be 20mA. You could now set the carbon dioxide concentrations so that 1 % corresponds to a current of 5 mA and 10 % corresponds to 20 mA.
In this case, any concentration over 10 % will give a constant 20 mA output and any
concentration under 1 % will give a constant 5 mA output.
If you now chan ge the low current limit to be 0 mA, the low concentration value will
automatically chan ge to – 2 %. It does this so that a concentration of 0 % will still give
5 mA output. (The software has determined by extrapolation that to give the same current at the same concentration, the limits must be set negative.)
The same process is also valid for high current limit values.
Oxygen
The two fields associated with this option specify the percentage oxygen to be associated with the set low and high currents.
The same principles as setting the carbon dioxide limits apply.
Hydrocarbon
The two fields associated with this option specify the concentration of Hydrocarbon to
be associated with the set low and high currents.
The same principles as setting the carbon dioxide limits apply.
Data Rate
The monitor makes meas urements on t he gas sample ev ery 1 s . The value o f the measurement is averaged with a cumulative output-average to produce a new cumulative
output-average. The data rate defines how l ong the avera ging process continues before
the cumulative output-average is transmitted by the monitor to the analogue interface.
After transmission, the cumulative output-average is set to zero and a ne w set of m easurements begins for the next averaging period.
The output current is held constant during the averaging period.
The data rate can range from 1 to 600 seconds (where 1 corresponds to the fastest rate).
This Data Rate (ho w often the analogue interf ace is updated) is affected by the Data
Rate parameter in the BZ6009 Set-up screen (how often the screen is updated), but only
when the measurem ent s creen is active. This is because the 1313 only produces one set
of measurement d ata, so th e two data rate v alues mus t be interleav ed. The tabl e below
shows the interaction of the two data rates.

Fig.3.3 The Alarm Relay Set-up screen
For information on connecting the alarm relay outputs to other equipment, see section
2.1.3.
Two alarm relay outputs are available in the monitor, one for low-limit alarms and one
for high-limit alarms. Both are single-pole, normally-open relay contacts, which are
electrically isolated from the monitor. You can set six alarm levels; a low limit and a
high limit for each of the measured gas concentrations. However, the appropriate relay
will close if any one condition is met. More formally, all the low limits are logically
ORed and all the high limits are logically ORed.
The Alarm LED on the front panel will light if one or both of the alarm relays has
closed. This may not only be due to a measurement going out of the set alarm limits,
but also during certain set-up and fault conditions, in which case both alarm relays will
be activated.
Carbon Dioxide
In the Low Limit field, you specify a measured concentration of carbon dioxide below
which the low-limit alarm is triggered. If the low limit alarm is enabled (ON), the rela y
will close when triggered. When disabled (OFF), no action occurs.
In the High Limit field, you specify a measured concentration of carbon dioxide above
which the high-limit alarm is triggered. If the high limit alarm is enabled (ON), t he relay will close when triggered. When disabled (OFF), no action occurs.
The high limit must always be larger than the low limit. The help bar gives you guidance.

4.1 Introduction
The monitor is gain calibrated for hydrocarbons (ref. methane), oxygen and carbon dioxide before it is delivered. In order to ensure that the full accuracy of the measurement
results is maintained, the monitor’s calibration should be checked once a month.
The software provides three calibration procedures:
• Zero calibration
• Gain calibration for all three gases
• Interference calibration.
Note: LumaSense does not manufacture the gas mix tures required for the calibration.
Section 4.3 describes a gas mixture that can be used for the calibration.
4.2 Checking and Changing the Particle Filters
Particle Filter
Fig.4.2 The inside of the calibration inlet filter and filter paper
The particle filter is located on the front panel of the monitor. This enables you to
change the filter while the monitor is still mounted in the rack.
To check and change the filter:
1. Locate the filter housing on the front panel (see Fig.4.2).
2. Turn the disc anticlockwise to loosen the finger screw and remove it to reveal
the filter.
3. Using some broad-blade tweezers, remove the “O”-ring holding the filter paper.
Chapter 4
_________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
BE6007-16 1313 Fermentation Monitor LumaSense Technologies A/S
Instruction Manual Page 49 of 116
If you are only checking the particle filter, ensure that the paper is not ripped or
blocked by excessive dirt. If it is, remove the filter paper and install a new one.
4. Use the broad-blade tweezers to remove the filter paper.
5. Insert a new filter. Check that the “O”-ring is intact and re-insert until it sits
firm on the filter paper.
6. Locate the stub on the inner side of the finger screw (marked ➊ in Fig.4.2).
7. Position the stub so that it fits into one of the two notches set in the mounting
ring (marked ➋ and ➌ in Fig.4.2).
Note: the line across the calibration inlet nozzle must be positioned to match the source
of the calibration gas. If your calibration gas is supplied via one of the inlets on a 1309,
use the measurement position. If you will apply the calibration gas directly to the front
panel of the 1313, select the calibration position (see Fig.4.3).
Fig.4.3 The calibration and measurement positions of the particle filter
4.3 Calibration Gases
To perform a full calibration two types of gas are required. One is an inert gas (zero
gas), used for zero calibration, and the other is a special gas mixture containing known
concentrations of Hydrocarbon and Carbon dioxide.
Zero Gas
The preferred gas to be used for zero calibration is Nitrogen.
An alternative zero gas is synthetic air. This contains no hydrocarbons, so will not interfere with the zero calibration process.
Ambient air can be used as the zero gas since the normal hydrocarbon content is sufficiently low and zero calibration of Carbon dioxide is not performed. Non-polluted outdoor air contains approximately 1.5 ppm methane which is more than ten times lower
than the detection level in the 1313.

Calibration Ga s Mi xt ure
The gas mixture shown in Table 4.1 is a suggested mixture for calibrating the monitor.
Some specific applications may require other mixtures or other gases. Such mixtures
should be discussed with a LumaSense Technical Support representative before u se so
that the calibration gas mixture can be defined to suit your needs.
When the calibration gas contains Carbon dioxide the gas must be humidified b y passing it through a length of Nafion tubing. If the calibration gas does not contain Carbon
dioxide (for example pure oxygen used to calibrate oxygen gain only) the gas does not
need to be humidified, but there will be no effect on the calibration figure if it is.

4.4 Connecting the Calibration Gas
Warning! The analysis cell of the monitor contains highly sensitive microphones.
Never make a direct connection from the pressure valve on a gas cylinder. Alwa ys use
a side-stream connection like the one shown in Fig.4.4.
If your calibration gas is supplied to a gas channel on a 1309 you must still use a sidestream connection.
A side-stream connection kit consisting of the necessary tubing and connectors is supplied with the 1313 monitor. Note that this kit contains a length of Nafion tubing. When
the calibration procedure specifies that the gas be kept dry, you must use tubing not
permeable to water vapour, for example PTFE tubing.

4.5 Zero Calibration
Fig.4.4 Typical side-stream connection set-up used during calibration
For hydrocarbon measurements, there is always a small background signal measured in
the measurement chamber even when no absorbing gas is present. In order to compensate for the magnitude of this signal, a zero calibration is made. To do this, the measurement cell is filled with an inert gas (zero gas), which does not absorb infra-red light .
There will be a small output signal from the measurement cell in this condition. This
provides a base signal which will be subtracted from measured signals to give actual
hydrocarbon values.
Note: when a zero calibration is made, a gain calibration must be made afterwards
since the zero calibration value is used in finding gain calibration values.
Doing a Zero Calibration
Assuming that the monitor and the PC are connected and the software is running (displaying the Main Menu), the zero calibration continues as follows:

4.6 Gain Calibration
This process allows the monitor to be gain-calibrated for one or more of the three
measurable gases. A calibration gas with known concentrations of hydrocarbon, oxygen and carbon dioxide is used as the calibration source (see section 4.3).
Sometimes you may only want to gain calibrate for one gas. To avoid the monitor from
updating a calibration value during calibration you must type in the concentration values shown in Table 4.2.

If you have just zero calibrated the monitor, continue from step 5.
1. Ensure the monitor has been switched on for at least 30 minutes.
2. When the Main Menu screen is displayed, select Start Calibration from the Cali-
bration pull-down menu.
The software performs a self-test to check that the communication ports are
open and report any errors encountered. The calibr at io n s cre en i s then displa yed
(see Fig.4.5).
3. If the calibration gas comes via a 1309, enter the correct channel number in the
field.
4. Ensure that the field displays the hydrocarbon for which you are calibrat-
ing. If not, choose the field, and select the correct one from the displayed list.

The gas concentrat ions must be the same as that stated on the calibration gas
bottle.
7. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until all the field entries match the correct concentrations.
8. Connect the calibration-gas bottle as described in section 4.4.
9. Open the gas valve and adjust the flow so that a small surplus flow exists in the
side-stream tube.
10. Press the start-button to start the gain calibration.
11. Gain Calibration started is displayed in the Calibration status box.
12. The total gain calibration process can take up to 20 minutes to complete. This is
because a number of c alibration measurements are mad e for each gas and the
average calibratio n level determi ned. The progress of the cal ibrat ion process for
each gas can be monitored in the Calibration status boxes.
13. Wait until gain calibration done is displayed under Calibration Results.
The monitor is now ready for making measurements.
4.7 Interference Calibration
The interference calibration process does a very comprehensive calibration of the
measurement system t o all ow the int erference o f the sam pled gas es on ea ch other to be
taken into account. Interference calibration is normally only done after the 1313 has
been serviced. Inte rference calibration is not necessar y during normal operation of the
monitor.
The interference calibration provides the monitor with data that enables it to take into
account the effect of:

BE6007-16 1313 Fermentation Monitor LumaSense Technologies A/S
Instruction Manual Page 55 of 116
• Water vapour on Hydrocarbon measurement
• Carbon dioxide on Water vapour measurement
• Carbon dioxide on Hydrocarbon measurement
Warning: Due to the interaction of the gaseous components with each other, the interference calibration procedure must be done in the correct order and with exactly the
right calibration gases. Failure to do so will not give the right correction values needed
to compensate for interference, and so all measurements on hydrocarbons and carbon
dioxide will not be accurate.
Oxygen measurements are not affected by interference.
The normal gain calibration procedure should be done after an interference calibration
has been successfully completed.
4.7.1 Interference Calibra tion Gases
Two calibration gas sources are required for interference calibration:
• Pure dry nitrogen
• – 6% carbon dioxide in pure dry nitrogen
You will also need a temperature controlled water-bath. This should be capable of
keeping the water at a stable temperature of approximately 18°C and be able to humidify a gas bubbled through it.
The temperature of the water bath must al ways be well below the ambient room temperature (and that of the monitor). This is to avoid condensation in the tubing and in the
monitor.
Unless these three items are availab le, a full interferen ce calibration shou ld not be attempted.
4.7.2 Interference Calibration Procedure
The calibration procedure has four stages, which must be done sequentially:
• Zero calibration of hydrocarbon and water vapour
• Water vapour gain calibrat io n
• Water vapour interference on hydrocarbons
• Carbon dioxide interference on water vapour and hydrocarbons.
The last stage contains two parts. The second part must be done immediately following
the first part.

5.1 About this Chapter
This chapter guides you through the Measurement option available on the Main Menu
Screen. In normal operation of the software, this will be the most frequently used
screen.
5.2 Measurement Monitoring
Before starting a measurement, ensure that the system is configured as you require.
System configuration is described in Chapter 3.
Starting to Monitor a Measurement
When t he Main Menu screen displayed, select Start Measur ement from the Measurement pull-down menu.
The software runs a series of self-tests to check that the lines of communication are
open.
If there are any errors, these are reported on an information screen.
If you have set Data Recording to ON and a data file already exists from this software
session, you will be given the chance to either append or erase the data at this point.
The graphical measurement screen now appears (see Fig.5.1).
Stopping Monitoring a Measurement
Select Stop M easurement from the Measurement pull-down menu in order to stop the
measurement display. This returns you to the Main Menu.
Note: Stopping monitoring will not stop the 1313 monitor from measuring. It will continue to output on the analogue interface until interrupted by either power down, an error occurring or you select a hardware configuration mode, such as calibration.
5.2.1 The Measuring Screen Layout
Fig.5.1 shows a typical meas urem ent sc r een. T h e gas cu rv es o n t his s creen show the re-
sult of gently breathing into the sample-line attached t o the 1313 . The dat a rate was set

Fig.5.2 The measurement screen associated with Channel 1 (exhaled air)
When multipoint sampling is enabled, 1313 channel displays a sequential mix of all the
recent measurement s from all the channels i n the sequen ce. This can b e clearl y seen in
Fig.5.4. 1313 Channel can be considered to b e the gas-line connecting the 1309 to the
1313, through which all samples must pass. The screen update rate of 13 13 channel is
set by the Data Rate and not by the Sampling Rate (see section 3.2.3 and section 3.2.4).
In this case the Data R ate was set to 1 second. W hen multipoint sampling is disabled,
only the 1313 channel will be displayed.
The Temp No. pull-down allows you to select which 1309 temperature sensor reading
is displayed in the box at the bottom of the screen. You can enter numbers from 1 to 18,
but you will only get a meaningful display from those temperature sensors actually
connected. This option is not available when multipoint sampling is disabled.

Graph Display
This occupies the mai n area of the screen. On it are dis played curves giving th e current
and recent history values of the measured concentrations of the sampled gases.
The graph is always divided into a grid. The x-direction corresponds to time and the ydirection gas concentration.
During measurement, the measurement dat a for each gas is plotted from left to right,
moving at a speed deter mined by the data rate or sampling period set in the BZ6009
Set-up screen (see se ction 3.2.3 and section 3.2.4 ). When the measurements hav e been
plotted all the way to the right the old measurements will shift out to the left of the
graph.
The CO2, O2 and CHx gasses is plotted with the colours blue, red and green respectively.
Y-axis Labelling
The y-axis labelling always appears as three columns at the right of the screen. The
carbon dioxide scale is presented first, followed by oxygen and finally hydrocarbon.
The maximum and minimum values shown on each scale correspond t o the values set
in the BZ6009 Set-up screen. Intermediate values are dete rmined by dividing the difference between the maximum and minimum values by ten.

Data Recording: tells you whether Data Recording is enabled or not.
Mode: indicates what state the PC running the BZ 6009 software is in. It will be set to
Remote when the remote control is in operation, otherwise it will show Auto.
Averaging: indicates whether averaging is on or off. When multipoint sampling is on,
averaging will be OFF during the flushing period and ON during the averaging period.
Active Channel: shows which 1309 channel are currently connected to the 1313.
5.3 Import Data to Excel
Guidance for importing the Data File to other programs
The BZ 6009 data fil es are s aved as “comma separated” text files. Th e deci mal separa tor is “.”. Text delimiters are not used.
The data files will be created by default in the folder: C:\BZ6009 Data. The naming of
the data files and the folder is decribed in section 3.2.2.
When importing the data file into other programs, in order to manipulate the data or, for
example, for producing a report, the import options should be set to read commadelimited files with a decimal separator of “.” and a time separ ator of “:”. Below is an
example of importing a data file into Excel:
1. Ensure that the Windows number and time formats are correct.
Number format: 1000 separator = none
decimal separator = ‘.’
Time format: Separator = ‘:’
These can be checked and changed in the “Intern ational” Window, which is an
option of the Program Manager -Main -Control Panel Window.
2. Start an EXCEL session.
3. Click on File and choose Open.
4. Type in the name of the data file to be imported.

6.1 About this Chapter
This Chapter describes how to integrate up to three 1309 Multipoint Sampler units in a
1313/BZ 6009 system.
For detailed specifications of the 1309 please refer to its own User Manual.
Configuring, calibrating and operating instructions of the 1313/1309 combination are
found in Chapter 3, Chapter 4 and Chapter 5.
6.2 System Description
The 1309 Multipoint Sampler allows you to sample gases from 12 different locations
using the 1313 as the measuring device. Also included in the 1309 is a pressure transducer and six temperature probe interfaces. The layout of a typical system is shown in
Fig.6.1.
Fig.6.1 Typical 1313/1309 system set-up
The most important point to note about the set-up is that the 1309 is controlled with an
IEEE–488 interface from the PC. This means an IEEE–488 interface card needs to be
installed into the PC (see section 6.3). This card is avai lable from LumaSense, order
number WQ 0625.
The BZ 6009 software can control up to three 1309’s by connecting the IEEE–488
links and sample outputs in parallel. This allows up to 36 independent sample points to
be monitored. The measurement time allocated for each sample point is user-definable
in the software. Sample points need not be measured sequentially, and the same sample
point can be “visited” more than once in a given sequence. This allows you to monitor
critical points more frequently.
Sampled gases are drawn through the gas lines from the sample points by the pump in
the 1313. Solenoid valves in the 1309 determine which of the twelve sample lines is
Chapter 6
_________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
BE6007-16 1313 Fermentation Monitor LumaSense Technologies A/S
Instruction Manual Page 71 of 116
connected to the sample gas outlet. The control of these solenoid valves is done by the
BZ 6009 software running on the PC. Thus, unlike a stand-alone 1313, a multipoint
sampling system must have the computer connected and running the software.
Up to six temperature sensors can be connected to the 1309. They deliver the temperature information to the PC via the IEEE–488 link.
Also included in the 1309 is a pressur e senso r that m easures the barom etric p ressure in
the environment immediately surrounding the 1309. The measured pressure is sent to
the PC via the IEEE–488 link.
To ensure that gas samples do not interfere with each other during measurement, the
software provides a flushing function. For each gas line, measurement is commenced
after a user-defined period. The period is set so that there is enough time to expel all
traces of the previous sample from the sampling lines, the 1309 and the measurement
chambers before measurement is done.
6.3 Setting up the IEEE – 488 Interface
To communicate with a 1309 the PC running the BZ 6009 software must have a
National Instruments IEEE–488 interface card and associated software installed in it.
Installing the Card and Software
Installation and testing of the hardware and software required to implement an IEEE–
488 interface is covered by the manuals delivered by National Instruments. Follow the
instructions contained in these manuals explicitly to ensure the card and software is
correctly installed. Failure to do so may result in an unstable interface.
6.4 Setting up the 1309 IEEE – 488 Address
After the installation IEEE–488 interface hardware and software, the IEEE–488 address
of each 1309 in the system must be set before communication with the PC can occur.
The address is set using the eight DIP switches located on the back panel of the 1309.
The decimal address of the instrument is expressed as a binary number, the MSD (Most
significant DIP switch) being to the left looking onto the back panel. Table 6.1 will
guide you.

6.5 Connecting a 1309 to a P C
A 1309 is connected to a PC using an IEEE–488 cable (AO 0265). To avoid data errors, this cable must conform to the specifications laid down in the IEEE–488 standard,
particularly with regard to length, connector type and “daisy-chaining”. LumaSense can
supply the correct cables.
Caution: To avoid permanently damaging the delicate electronics in a 1309 or the PC,
you must ensure that all IEEE–488 instruments are switched off before connecting or
disconnecting the interface cables.
6.6 Connecting a 1309 to a 1313
The gas to be sampled is drawn from the 1309 to the 1313 via a sample li ne. Various
types of sample lines are available depending on the individual applications Fig.6.2
shows a typical sample line configuration.
The sample line tubing between a 1309 and a 1313 should be kept as short as possible
to assist response times. If you are unsure about the type of sample line for your application, contact a LumaSense Technical Support representative for advice before installing the system.
You must include an in-line filter in the sample line. The LumaSense accessory UD
5057 is recommended.

Fig.6.2 A typical sample line configuration
The Output to Analyser nozzle is located on the back plate of the 1309. The standard
nozzle installed accepts PTFE tubing with a 4 mm external diameter and an internal
diameter of 2 mm. The standard nozzles can be removed to enable other adapters or
connectors to be fitted. When the nozzle is removed, the gas inlet has an 1/8th inch
British Standard Parallel (BSP) thread. It is important that any other connectors used
here have exactly the same thread.
When only one 1309 is used in the system, the sample line should be directly connected
to the 1313 Gas Inlet. If more than one is being used, the lines from the Output to
Analyser nozzles should be summed by T-pieces before being fed to the 1313. Solenoid
operated three-wa y valves (under the control of the BZ6009 software) ensure that the
correct 1309 is connected to the 1313 during measurement and calibration.

Note: When a 1309 is first powered up, all the solenoid valves are closed. This will appear to be an occlusion to the 1313, giving a resultant error message. Therefore, ignore
the first occlusion error message immediately after power up in a combined 1309/1313
system.
6.7 Connecting Temperature Sensors
Up to six temperature sensors can be connected to a 1309. Please refer to the 1309 User
Manual for more information.
6.8 Mains Supply and Fuses
Ensure that the mains voltage setting and fuse rating in the 1309 are correctly set before
applying power. For more details, see the 1309 User Manual.

7.1 About This Chapter
This chapter is for users of the 1313 and BZ 6009 software who want to connect the
monitoring system into a larger system controlled by a process control computer.
Because such an appli cati on is very special ised t he i nform ation in th is chap ter is n ecessarily technical. The l eve l at which the p roces s co mp uter in terface (PC I) i s descri bed is
quite deep. You will find that a lot of knowledge is assumed in advance about the
workings of computer interfaces.
Note: In examples given to explain data used to control the PCI spaces have been inserted to aid reading clarity. In reality communication is by consecutive non-spaced
characters.
7.2 PCI System Description
The process control interface allows you direct access to the control and data registers
within the 1313 monitor and the BZ 6009 software running on the PC. Communication
from the process control computer to the PC is via an RS – 232 serial link. The PC,
therefore, needs two COM ports, one for the PCI and one for the 1313, together with an
IEEE – 488 interface if multipoint sampling is implemented.
The process control interface allows you to:
1. Access information about;
the present channel number
the current gas measurement values from the 1313
the previous gas measurement values from the 1313
updated temperature and barometric pressure values from the 1309.
2. Select between auto and remote mode.
In Auto mode the sampling sequence is controlled by the BZ 6009 software.
In Remote mode the process control computer controls the sampling sequence
and starts/stops averaging of measurement data.
A typical set-up of a 1313 used with a PC, a 1309 and a process control computer is
shown in Fig.7.1.

Instruction Manual Page 77 of 116
Fig.7.1 Typical process control set-up
7.3 Setting up the Process Control Computer’s RS – 232 serial interface
The communication parameters for the PCI RS – 232 serial link are as follows:
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• 9600 baud
• No parity
• Hardwire handshake, DSR required
The BZ 6009 software requires both CTS and DSR to be true before communication
can start. If using LumaSense cables WL 0945 or WL 0946, CTS is hardwired to the
PC’s RTS line and so will always be true. The DSR line of the PC is wired to DTR at
the process computer end and is used as a handshake (flow control). Check that your
process computer asserts DTR when ready to communicate.
You should also check that the correct COM port for the remote link is specified on the
BZ 6009 Set-up screen.
7.4 Process Computer Interface (PCI) Protocols
Communication over the PCI is possible using either of the two protocols:
• COMLI (default)
• OPTOMUX
Commands are always initiated by the process control computer and acknowledged by
the PC. The PC will send data back to the process control computer if the command
Chapter 7
_________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
BE6007-16 1313 Fermentation Monitor LumaSense Technologies A/S
Instruction Manual Page 78 of 116
was of the data retr ieval type. The process control computer can also send data to the
PC and 1313, typically for sampling sequence purposes.
You should imagine that at the remote end (PC/1313) there exists a set of registers
whose contents contain either control or measurement data. Each register can be addressed, and depending upon the data type, can be read from, written to or both. The
operation to be performed on each register is controlled by a command. These commands and registers are described in detail in section 7.6 for COMLI and section 7.7 for
OPTOMUX.
7.5 Representation of Values in Registers
For write registers, 1000h always corresponds to the full scale value and 0000h corresponds to the bottom scale value.
For read registers, 2000h corresponds to the full scale value and 1000h corresponds to
the bottom scale value (except for the registers mentioned in the table below).
If a measurement exceed s the full scale value, then the value read wi ll be larger than
2000h. For example, CO2 measurements are possible up to 13%, giving a read value of
24CDh.
Register Addresses
COMLI
OPTOMUX (base address)
Description
1260h 12h register no. 7 O2 bottom scale
1270h 12h register no. 8 O2 full scale
1280h 12h register no. 9 CHX full scale
For Carbon dioxide the full scale value is 10.0% vol. and the bottom scale value is zero.
For Oxygen the ful l scale and bottom s cale values are user d efinable via two re gisters
in the 1313 General Register Group (see section 7.6 for COMLI and section 7.7 for
OPTOMUX). The parameters should be scaled so that 0000h corresponds to 0 vol% O2
and 1000h corresponds to 100 vol% O2.
For Hydrocarbons the full scale val ue is user defin able via a register i n the 1313 General Register Group. The parameter should be scaled so that 0000h corresponds to 0
vol% CHx and 1000h corresponds to 10 vol% CHx.
For temperature th e full s cale value is 100.0°C and the bottom scale value is zero. The
1309 temperature m easurement range i s from – 20°C to 100°C. When the temperature
is negative, a value smaller than 1000h will be read.
For barometric pressure the full scale value is 200 kPa and the bottom scale value is
zero.

To convert hex data to a gas, temperature or pressure value use the formula:
value = ((hex value/4096)–1)(full scale–bottom scale)+bottom scale
Example 1
If 1A6Dh (6765 decimal) is read from a CO2 register, the value will be:
((6765/4096)–1)(10–0) = 6.516 vol%
Example 2
If 0E54h (3668 decimal) is read from a temperature register, the value will be:
((3668/4096)–1)(100–0) = –10.449°C
Example 3
If the process computer has set up the O2 bottom scale to be 16.992 vol% (≡2B8h) and
the full scale to be 25.000 vol% (≡400h), O
2
values wil l be scaled b y the BZ6009 software such that 1000h corresponds to 16.992 vol% and 2000h corresponds to 25.000
vol%
If 1356h (4950 decimal) is read from an O2 register, the value will be:
((4950/4096)-1)(25.000–16.992)+16.992 = 18.662 vol%
Initial Values
The analogue registers are all initiated with the dummy value 0000h. If a register is
read before the data has been updated the following values will appear:
Temperature: –100°C
Pressure: –200 kPa

Sampling Sequence Register Group
This group contains three registers, each 16 bits wide, that enable read and write facilities for the Repeated Sampling Sequence in Auto Mode.
Each register corresponds to a 1309 Multipoint Sampler. In each register, the 12 least
significant bits are used to represent the associated 12 channels, where the LSB corresponds to the lowest channel.
A set bit (i.e. 1) means that the corresponding channel is part of the Sampling Sequence. A cleared bit (0) means that the channel is not part of the Sampling Sequence.

measurement for the corresponding gas is completed on the corresponding channel.
Note that the bits in these registers are not cleared (0) when the corresponding concentrations are read from the Measurement Registers.
To clear the bits in these registers, a bit mask containing set bits (1) needs to be written
to the register.

7.7 OPTOMUX Communication parameters
7.7.1 Register Description
The information on the following pages details the address and function of each of the
different registers.
Each register is 16 bits wide. When a group of registers contain similar data, they are
grouped together and given a base address. Individual registers in a group are addressed
by using an offset from the base address. Such a group is called an Analogue Block, as
the data contained in the registers are numerical representations of analogue values.
A Digital Block is only one register. In some cases two addresses are given for the
same digital block. It does not matter which address you choose, they both point to the
same register.
7.7.2 The Interface Registers
Sampling Channel Control Register
Type of register: Digital Block
Address: 10h or 20h
This is a single 16 bit register. The bits in the register can be set or reset using the J, K
or L commands, and then only when the BZ 6009 is set to remote mode. The register
can be read with the M command.

If you read registers 1 2, and 6 while averaging is stopped, you will read 1 second values. If averaging is started, you will read the instantaneous cumulative average of the
measurements made since averaging was started.
The O2 scaling values (registers 7 and 8) are used to define the input values used in the
register groups at base addresses 01h, 05h and 09h. Unless specified, the full scale
value will automatically be set to 25% and the bottom scale 0% upon power up. If these
values are not suitable for your application, they must be changed via this register
group.
The CHx scaling value ( register 9) is used to define the input value us ed in the register
groups at base addresses 03h, 07h and 0Bh. Unless specified, the full scale value will
automatically be set to 1.25% upon power up. If this value is not suitable for your application, it must be changed via this register group.

The 16-bit gas channel status register uses only the least significant 12 bits. If a bit is
true (logic 1) this indicates that the corresponding channel’s CHx val ue has been updated since the register group was last read. The LSB corresponds to the lowest gas
channel number.

Sampling Sequence Register Group
Type of register: Analogue Block
Base Address: 13h
This is a group of 3 registers each 16 bits wide. The registers in the group can be written to with the J or S commands. The registers in the group can be read with the L
command.
Each register corresponds to a 1309 Multipoint Sampler. In each register, the 12 least
significant bits are used to represent the associated 12 channels, where LSB corresponds to the lowest channel.
A set bit (i.e. 1) means that the corresponding channel is part of the Sampling Sequence. A cleared bit (0) means that the channel is not part of the Sampling Sequence.
Register
no.
Description
1 Channels 1 to 12
2 Channels 13 to 24
3 Channels 25 to 36
A Sampling Sequence defined from the interface becomes active when the previous
Sampling Sequence has finished the current measurement cycle.

In each register, the 12 least significant bits are used to represent the 12 channels in the
Multipoint Samplers, where the least significant bit represents the lowest channel number. Bit 15 corresponds to the internal gas channel 0. A set bit (1) means that a new
measurement for the corresponding gas is completed on the corresponding channel.
Note that the bits in these registers are not cleared (0) when the corresponding concentrations are read from the Measurement Registers.
To clear the bits in these registers, a bit mask containing set bits (1) needs to be written
to the register.
