__________________________________________________________________________________________

The 1316A-1 Multi Gas Monitor is designed and tested to comply with EN
61010-1.2nd (2001) 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 LumaSense
Technologies A/S. To ensure safe operation and retain the monitor in safe
condition, special note should be made of the following:

Explosion Hazard!

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 the

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.

1.1 Broad Overview

The 1316A-1 Multi Gas Monitor simultaneously measures the
concentration of up to 5 Gases. The concentration of each gas is
expressed as ppm or a volume percentage referenced to dry gas
condition.

The measurement principles are based on Non Dispersive Infrared
(NDIR) and Electrochemical Sensors. 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 measurement results over a
wide range of concentrations.

The monitor comes complete with PC software that allows you to
configure and calibrate the monitor prior to measuring, display the
measurement data numerically and/or graphically while
measurements are being made. The stored data can be recalled at a
later stage for closer examination.

1.2 Monitor System Description

Figure 1.1 shows a flow diagram of the 1316A-1 Multi Gas Monitor.

There are three basic blocks:

1. Pneumatic with pump and three-way-valve.

2. Control Software and PC Interface

3. NDIR Module VM0100A and Module (UA1372) with Electro

Chemical Sensors

1.2.1 Control Software and PC Interface

This block contains microprocessor based electronics that take care
of interfacing the monitor to a PC via an RS-232 or USB 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 or USB link using a PC running the specially
developed BZ 6012 software.

1.2.2 NDIR Module and UA1372 Module (Optional) Measuring System

This block is the heart of the monitor. It contains the Infrared source
the sample cell and the Detector with specialized optical filters and
processing electronics necessary to do highly accurate measurement
of gas concentrations.
The UA1372 are connected to the NDIR module for data transfer to
the Controlling PC Software.
Measurement samples are sucked into the measurement chambers
via the Gas Inlet or the Zero Gas Inlet, depending upon the
command from the BZ6012. The internal gas-circuits (see figure 1.1)
are arranged such that samples pass through the measurement
chamber in a continuous flow and directed from the NDIR sample cell
to the UA1372 Module to the Electrochemical Sensors. Exhaust gases
are expelled via the gas outlet. The Zero Gas used for zero
calibration of the NDIR Module and for Span Calibrating the Oxygen
Sensor is drawn via the Zero Gas inlet.

1.2.3 Power Supply

The power supply included in the 1316A-1 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.

1.3 Software Descripti on

The BZ 6012 software is menu driven specifically written to control
the 1316A-1 monitor. The software allows you to change the
operational parameters and see the results of measurements on the
PC screen.

The software can be used to control up to four Multi Gas Monitors
1316A-1 including these instruments in your system allows up to 4
different sample points to be controlled measured by the BZ6012.

You can also use the PC’s filing system to save a series of
measurements for later recall any other PC software that can
interpret a space delimited file, for example certain spreadsheet
programs.
Note though that the save-to-disk process is not a dump of data from
the 1316A-1 to the PC, but a process in which the data log file on the
PC is updated continuously.

Therefore, to use the PC to log data, it must be constantly attached
to the 1316A-1.

As well as providing control over the measurement configuration of
the monitor, the software also has calibration procedures that allow
you to calibrate the monitor against known reference gas
concentrations.

1.3.1 NDIR Module and the optional UA1372 Module Versions

LumaSense offers several NDIR modules giving the possibility to
configure the Multi Gas Monitor 1316A-1 for different applications.
Please contact your local LumaSense A/S representative for further
information.

The Multi Gas Monitor INNOVA 1316A-1 is delivered as specified by
the Customer.

1.4 NDIR Gas Measurement

The Module VM0100A measures the following sample gas
concentrations: Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and
Hydro Carbons (HC) either with reference to N-Hexane or Propane
(selectable from the BZ6012 Application Software)

And the UA1372 is as an example given with an O2, and NO sensor
installed.

1.4.1 HC, CO and CO2 Measurement

The NDIR measurement method uses fixed, non-scanning infrared
light frequencies to characterize HC, CO, and CO2 gas
concentrations. NDIR absorption profiles are the basis for
measurement. The concentration of a gas volume is a function of the
quantity of gas molecules in the sample. The absorption of infrared
light increases with the number of gas molecules in the light path. As
the concentration of infrared-absorbing gas increases, the
transmission of infrared light decreases. A basic NDIR measurement
system includes the following elements:

1.4.3 The NDIR Module Building blocks Infrared Source

A current-regulated infrared (IR) source provides a photon stream in
the range of 2 to 5 microns. Light is collimated and directed through
the sample cell to the optical block. The source is modulated at 1 Hz,
with a duty cycle of 50%.

Sample Cell

The sample cell is a gold-coated glass chamber that provides a
means for the infrared source to pass through the sample gas.
Infrared-transparent sapphire windows are provided at each end of
the cell. A microprocessor controlled transducer and thermistor
provide measurement compensation for sample gas temperature and
pressure variances. Sample gas exits the cell at the end opposite the
IR source and is directed to the UA1372 manifold for O2 or O2/NO
measurement.

Optical Block

Infrared light not absorbed by the sample gas is transmitted to the
optical assembly. The remaining light is directed to the band pass
filters and on through to the quad detector.

The filter wavelengths are optimised to match the absorption spectra
of Hydrocarbons, Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide.

The filter associated with Hydrocarbons is centred on 3.46 µm (2889
cm-1), the filter associated with Carbon Dioxide is centred on 4.43

µm (2260 cm-1), and the filter associated with Carbon Monoxide is
centred on 4.65 µm (2150 cm-1).

In the measurement chamber the three beams, which differ in
wavelength frequency, each excite their respective gas (if present).
The absorption of the incident light will be registered by the
Detector.

System Board Assembly

The system board assembly is a surface-mount printed circuit board
that includes the digital and analogue electronic components and the
IR detector assembly. The IR detector assembly includes thermopile
IR detectors for the HC, CO, CO2, and reference channels. Light
passed through the band pass filters is directed through the
thermopile window to a detector substrate. The substrate has a light­sensitive coating, which produces a voltage that is proportional to
light intensity. A reference voltage is produced by the reference
detector, which provides an output that varies with light intensity
and is not affected by the sample gas. The HC detector includes a
thermistor. The detector block temperature measurement facilitates
compensation for IR filter and IR detector temperature variances.
The detector outputs are amplified and sent through a multiplexer to
an ADC converter. The microprocessor samples the ADC converter
output at 200 Hz and derives an uncompensated digital value
representing each gas concentration. The data are subjected to a
compensation routine that provides adjustment for temperature and
pressure variances. The digital value representing each gas
concentration is derived.

1.4.4 The NDIR Temperature Measurements.

The analyzer incorporates several thermistors for the measurement
of temperatures.

IR Detector/Filter Temperature (HC Temperature):

A thermistor located in the optical assembly measures the IR
detector and IR filter temperature. It is used as follows:

“Gas law compensation” and detector response compensation during
HC, CO and CO2 gas concentration measurement.

Span calibration (via the use of temperature compensated HC, CO2
and CO data).

An “out of range” IR detector/filter temperature condition causes HC,
CO2 and CO data to be declared “data invalid.”

Instruction Manual Page 14 of 98

Chapter 1

_________________________________________________________________________________________

In the Module the IR Detector/Filter Temperature is monitored to set
the zero request bit as follows:

Zero Request if a ±5°C temperature change has occurred.
Ambient Temperature Out Of Range is set when the IR

Detector/Filter Temperature is not within its allowed range.

Sample Cell Temperature:

The Module sample cell temperature is monitored by a thermistor in
contact with the sample cell. This temperature measurement is used
as follows:

An “out of range” sample cell temperature condition causes HC, CO2
and CO data to be declared “data invalid.”

Sample Cell Temperature Out Of Range is set when the Sample Cell
Temperature is not within its allowed range.

NO Sensor Temperature:

A thermistor located in each NO sensor assembly monitors NO
sensor temperature. It is used as follows:

Sensor response during NO gas concentration measurement.

An “out of range” NO sensor temperature condition causes NO data
to be declared “data invalid. ”The NDIR Pressure Measurements.

1.4.5 The NDIR Pressure Measurements.

The Module includes two pressure transducers for measurement of
the pressures. An absolute pressure transducer measures the
pressure in the sample cell. A differential pressure transducer on the
power section of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) measures the
difference between ambient pressure and the sample gas pressure
between the inlet port and the pump. These pressure measurements
are used as follows:

Sample Cell Pressure (absolute). Sample cell pressure is used as
follows:

Gas law compensation” during HC, CO and CO2 gas concentration
measurement.

Zero/O2 Span and Span calibration (via the use of temperature
compensated HC, CO2 and CO data).

_____________________________________________________________________________
BE6020-14 1316A-1 Multi Gas Monitor LumaSense Technologies A/S
Instruction Manual Page 15 of 98

Chapter 1

_________________________________________________________________________________________

During a Zero/O2 Span calibration, sample delivery pressure is
compared to ambient pressure (see below). If the difference is too
great, the Out Flow Fault status bit is set true and the pump is
switched Off.

1.4.6 The O2 and NO Measurement

O2 and NO gas concentration are measured using electrochemical
(fuel cell) sensors. A fuel cell sensor provides an electrical response
that is proportional to the concentration of the sample gas.

The NDIR Module sample-cell exhaust is directed to UA1372 manifold
for O2 or O2/NO measurement. Sample gas is delivered to the O2 and
NO sensors through this manifold. The O2 sensor provides a linear
output of approximately 9 to 13 milli-volts that is proportional to the
Oxygen concentration in the sample. The NO sensor provides a linear
output of approximately 50 nano-amperes per ppm of nitric oxide
over the range of 0 to 5000 ppm in the gas sample. A 3-volt lithium
battery is included on the NO sensor to retain bias voltage when
source power is not applied.

Both O2 and NO sensor outputs are sent to an ADC converter that
provides digital values representing gas concentration. Gas
concentration is determined by comparing sensor output at
calibration with the output of the sample measurement.

By calibrating the system with known concentrations of Hydrocarbon,
Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, and for the UA1372 option
Oxygen and NO the absolute concentration values can be calculated.

In normal practice ambient air is used as the reference gas for the
Oxygen measurement as it contains a stable amount of Oxygen –

20.95 % referenced to dry gas condition.

2.1 Installing the Monitor

The rear panel has a serial-link and a USB socket for the PC
interface. The mains input, 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 5°C to 40°C

• Humidity should not exceed 90% RH non-condensing.

Warning! The monitor is not intended for use in explosive
environments.

2.1.2 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 800 ml/min. Various types of
sample lines are available depending on the individual application.
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.

Up to 100 m tube (AF0614) with internal diameter 3mm can be
attached. The response time is then 70 sec.

Note: You must use a filter in the gas-line immediately before the
gas-line enters the monitor. The UD 5091A in-line filter (optional
accessory) is ideal for this purpose.
The gas inlet for the sample line is located on the rear panel of the
monitor. If the dew point of the gas sample is comparable to the
temperature in the monitor, Nafion tubing UD5037 can be used to
remove water and eliminate the risk of condensation inside the
monitor

Nafion is impermeable to O2, CO2, CO and most 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 ultra­violet light, as this reduces the tubes lifetime. Nafion tubing should

2.3 Connecting the Monitor to the PC

For the 1316A-1 monitor and PC to communicate, the two must be
linked together. The 1316A-1 monitor can be connected to the PC
either using the RS-232 connector or the USB connector on the
monitor’s rear panel.

The monitor has a standard RS – 232, 9 pin male/female socket on
its rear panel. This is the digital interface used to communicate with
the 1316A-1 monitor. This must be connected to a free serial port
(COM port) on the computer using a serial interface cable. Before
connecting either end of the selected RS-232 interface cable to the
respective instrument, ensure that both instruments are turned off,
otherwise you are liable to damage the sensitive circuitry in either
the monitor, the computer, or both.

The 1316A-1 monitor also has a standard USB socket on its rear
panel. This is the digital interface used to communicate with the

_____________________________________________________________________________

Instruction Manual Page 28 of 98

Chapter 2

_________________________________________________________________________________________

1316A-1 monitor. This must be connected to a free USB port on your
computer using a USB cable. Please make sure that the USB driver is
installed before connecting the 1316A-1 with the PC. The USB cable
is hot pluggable, meaning that it can be connected while the PC and
the 1316A-1 monitor is on.

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. You may choose to use the ports COM1
to COM4. If you are unsure, refer to information about your
computer to identify the port name. When using an USB connection
between the 1316A-1 and the PC the USB connection will appear as a
USB virtual COM port (Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge),
which can be checked in the “Device Manager”-view on the PC, see
figure 2.4.

The (USB) virtual COM port must be between COM1-COM4 in order
for the BZ6012 to communicate with the 1316A-1 monitor. If it is
COM5 or higher it must be assigned to a COM port in the range
COM1-COM4, by changing the properties of the virtual COM port
using the “Device Manager”.

Figure 2.4 : Windows “Device Manager” showing the virtual COM port

for the USB connection.

minutes thereafter).

Zero is also done when:

♦ After a ±3°C change in detector temperature.
♦ When an ADC input range error occurs on one or more IR

channel (CO2, CO, HC, reference).

Zero calibration compensates for conditions that affect gas

concentration measurement.

Examples of these conditions are as follows:

Changes in ambient temperature.

Short-term sample cell contamination caused by inadequate particle
filtering.

Long-term sample cell contamination caused by deposits on the
sample cell wall or windows.

Zero calibration execution time is typically 30 to 45 seconds,
including a purge time that depends on the pneumatics configuration
and a fixed calibration time of 20 seconds.

3.6.2 Normal Operating Mode

When the Start-up time has elapsed, the Multi Gas Monitor 1316A-1
enters Normal Operating Mode.
All actions are allowed, like measurement, calibration or any other
bench command.

If measurement has not been requested for >2 minutes, the Multi
Gas Monitor 1316A-1 leaves Normal mode and enters Standby
mode.

3.6.3 Standby Operating Mode

The 1316A-1 Gas Monitor’s Pump is turned OFF when the Standby
mode is entered.

Instruction Manual Page 51 of 98

Chapter 3

_________________________________________________________________________________________

The 1316A-1 enters standby mode as a result of any of the following:

♦ 2 minutes after any POR if measurement has not been

started.

♦ 2 minutes after measurement has been stopped.

During Standby mode, the Pump is turned OFF and the following
actions are not allowed:

♦ Zero calibration.
♦ Span calibration.

This explains why measurement should be started before doing any
calibration.

Normally, Standby mode is terminated, and Start-up mode is
entered, when measurement is being started. If the Standby mode
was activated by a sample cell over-temperature condition, the only
way to resume normal operation is via a software reset (bench
command) or via a hardware reset(power off).

Upon leaving Standby mode, the Multi Gas Monitor 1316A-1 turns
ON the pump, attains thermal stability during a 20-second start-up
mode, and resumes Normal mode operation.

3.6.4 System Fault Operating Mode

System fault mode is entered if any of the following error conditions

occur:

♦ Self-test error.
♦ ADC data acquisition error.
♦ IR source error.
♦ Flash memory error.

Recovery from system fault mode requires a power-down/power-on
reset, and may call for product service.

4.1 Introduction

4.1.1 Factory calibration

Multi Gas Monitor –INNOVA 1316A-1 component tolerances result in small,
but relevant differences in measurement of a given gas concentration. The
IR source, pressure transducers, thermistors, band pass filters, and
detectors are subject to these variances. During the Type 1316A-1
manufacturing process, each unit is individually characterized.
Characterization results in a set of unique response characteristics for each
IR gas channel. These individual response curves are stored in the NDIR
module flash memory, and enable the Multi Gas Monitor 1316A-1 to
measure gas concentration accurately.

4.1.2 Field Calibration

The Multi Gas Monitor –INNOVA 1316A-1 is designed to be zero and span
stable in normal operation.

Zero calibration establishes the baseline for gas concentration
measurement. These responses vary depending on existing temperature
conditions (ambient, sample gas, and IR filters/detectors).

Span calibration compensates for the normal component drift that slowly
occurs over the life of the instrument.

4.2 Zero Calibration and O2 Span Calibration

LumaSense recommends that zero calibration be performed as follows:
Whenever Zero Request is shown in the Status window see figure 4.1

Immediately prior to taking any important set of gas concentration data.

Immediately prior to any span calibration.

Zero calibration is a recommended step in recovering from several types of
malfunctions.

During a zero point calibration the sample gas is taken through the Zero
inlet on the rear panel of the monitor with a flow rate of 700 ml/min.
ambient air is used for the zero calibration.

Zero Request

The Zero Request (see figure 4.1) is set true under the following
conditions:

At POR (power on / reset). When the Multi Gas Monitor is turned ON or
reset, all gas channels will temporarily report 0 gas concentrations (volume
% or ppm). Gas concentration data is only valid after a successful zero
calibration.

After transitioning from standby to normal operating mode.
Zero request interval timeout (90 seconds after POR, followed by a 3

minute then a 6 minute interval and 30 minutes thereafter).

After a ±3°C change in detector temperature.
When an ADC input range error occurs on one or more IR channel (CO2,

CO, HC, reference).

Purpose

Zero calibration compensates for conditions that affect gas concentration
measurement. Examples of these conditions are as follows:

Changes in ambient temperature.
Short-term sample cell contamination caused by inadequate particle

filtering.
Long-term sample cell contamination caused by deposits on the sample

cell wall or windows.
Zero calibration execution time is typically 30 to 45 seconds, including a

purge time that depends on the pneumatics configuration and a fixed
calibration time of 20 seconds. The process will take longer under the
following conditions:

1. Extended Purge time ( PT) is used.

Purge time ( PT) can be extended . Pull down the Bench Command menu
select Zero/O2 Change the PT value).

Select the Zero/ O2 Span Calibration.
The following window is displayed.

2. Power on.

The first Zero during a power on cycle takes 5 seconds longer than a
subsequent Zero with the same PT value.

3. NO Concentration

When the Zero/O2 Span Calibration command is transmitted, and the NO
concentration is above a set value. The purge time is extended in order to
completely purge the NO sensor.

4.2.1 Zero Calibration Procedure

The CO2, CO, HC, and NO channels are zero calibrated and the O2
channel is span calibrated. Using the selected Purge Time (PT) (see
figure 4.2 ).

Assuming that the monitor and the PC are connected and the
software is running (displaying the Main Menu), the zero calibration
continues as follows:

4.3 Span Calibration

4.3.1 Introduction.

The Multi Gas Monitor – INNOVA 1316A-1 is designed to be span-stable.
Frequent span calibration is not required to maintain accurate gas concentration
measurements. The Multi Gas Monitor may need to be routinely span calibrated
with suitable mixtures of calibration gases. Span calibration is recommended at
the following intervals:

♦ The VM0100A module measuring HC, CO, and CO2: Once every 12 months.
♦ NO sensor VM0201A: After replacement of a NO sensor, and once every

month during normal operation.

♦ O2 Sensor VM0200A: Span calibration is performed during every Zero/O2

Span Calibration execution.

♦ When any span calibration has failed.

4.3.2 Checking and Changing the Particle Filters

It is recommended to change the inlet filter DS2306 before
performing any calibration.

4.3.3 Calibration Gases

To perform a full calibration gases are required.
Special gas mixtures containing known concentrations of
Hydrocarbon (Propane or Hexane), Carbon Monoxide and Carbon
Dioxide are required to span calibrate the VM0100A
If UA1372A is mounted with electrochemical sensors O2 (VM200A)
and NO (VM0201A) then calibration gases to span calibrate the
sensors are also needed.

The gas mixture shown in Table 4.1 is allowed concentration ranges
for calibrating the monitor

Gas Concentration Range

Propane 100 ppm to 6 %

Hexane 50 ppm to 3%
Oxygen 1% to 25 %
