The 1316A-2 Multi Gas Monitor simultaneously measures the
concentration of up to 4 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. T he stored data can be r ecalled at a
later stage for closer examination.
1.2 Monitor System Description
Fig.1.1 shows a flow diagram of the 1316A-2 Multi Gas Monitor.
There are three bas ic 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 measur ing system and r eceive me asurement 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 BZ6013 software.

This block is t he hear t of the monitor. It co ntains the Infra red so urce
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 BZ6013. The internal gas-circuits 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.

The power supply included in the 1316A-2 can be directly co nnected
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 BZ6013 software is menu driven specifically written to control
the 1316A-2 monitor. The software allows you to change the
operational parameters a nd see the results of measurements on t he
PC screen.
The software can be used to control up to four Multi Gas Monitors
1316A-2 including these instruments in your system allows up to 4
different sample points to be controlled measured by the BZ6013.
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-2 to the PC, but a p ro c e ss in which the data log file on the
PC is updated continuously.
Therefore, to use the PC to log data, it must be constantly attac hed
to the 1316A-2.
As well as providing control over the measurement configuration of
the monitor, the software also has calibration procedures that al low
you to calibrate the monitor against known reference gas
concentrations.
1.3.1 NDIR Module and the optional UA1372 Module Versions

1.4 NDIR Gas Measurement
The Module VM0101A measures the following sample gas
concentrations: Car bon Dioxide (CO2) and Freon either with reference
to FREON1 or FREON2 (selectable from the BZ6013 Application
Software)
And the UA1372 is as an example given with an O2 and NO sensor
installed.

Detector:
The NDIR measurement method uses fixed, non-scanning infrared
light frequencies to characterize Freon 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:
removed before the gas is introduced to the NDIR module.
An infrared li ght source p roduces a wi de range of light at frequencies covering the
infrared band and extending into the visible s p ectrum.
The gas to be measu red is tran sported through a sam ple cell that allows in frared
light to pass through the sample.
filter wavelength is based on the gas to be measured. Separate infrar ed filters are
used in the measurement of Freon and CO

The concentration of a subject gas in the sample is computed as a
function of the light intensity measured by the detector. The figure
below characterizes the band pass filters for Freon and CO2 gases.
Fig.1.3 Infrared optical filters for Freon and Carbon Dioxide.
1.4.3 The NDIR Module Building blocks
Infrared Source
A current-regulated infrared (IR) source provides a photon stream.
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%.
_____________________________________________________________________________
BE6021-11 1316A-2 Multi Gas Monitor LumaSense Technologies A/S
Instruction Manual Page 12 of 97
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 tem per ature and
pressure varianc es. Sample gas e xits th e cell at the end opposite the
IR source and isdirected 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 optimise d to match the absorptio n spectra
of Freon's and Carbon Dioxide.
The filter associated with Freon's is centred on 8.73 µm (1145 cm-1),
and the f ilter associated with Carbon di oxide is centred on 4.43 µm
(2260 cm-1), see Figure 1.3.
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.

The system board assembly is a surface-mount printed cir cuit board
that includes the digita l and analogue electronic components and the
IR detector assemb ly. The IR detector ass embly includes thermopile
IR detectors for the Freon, CO2 and referenc e channels. Light passed
through the band pass filters is directed through the thermopile
window to a detector substrate. The substrate has a light-sensitive
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 detector block temperature
measurement facilitates compensation for IR filter and IR detector
temperature var iances. The detector outputs ar e 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 :
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 respo nse compensation duri ng
Freon and CO2 gas concentration measurement.
Span calibration (vi a the use o f temper ature compe nsated Freon and
CO2 data).
An “out of range” IR detector/filter temperature condition causes
Freon and CO2 data to be declared “data invalid.”
In the Module the IR Detector /Filter Tempe rature is mo nitore d 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.
_____________________________________________________________________________
BE6021-11 1316A-2 Multi Gas Monitor LumaSense Technologies A/S
Instruction Manual Page 14 of 97
The Module sample cell tempe rature is monitored by a thermistor in
contact with the sa mple cell. This temper ature measurement is used
as follows:
An “out of range” sample cell temperature condition causes Freon
and CO2 data to be declared “data invalid.”
Sample Cell Tempera ture Out Of Range is set when the Sa mple 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 sens or temperature condition causes NO data
to be declared “data invalid”.
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 c ell. A differenti al pressure transduc er on the
power section of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) measures the
difference between ambient pressure and the sample gas pressure
between the inlet po rt and the pu mp. These pressure measur ements
are used as follows:
Sample Cell Press ure (absolute). Sample ce ll pressure is used as
follows:
Gas law compensation during Freon and CO2 gas concentration
measurement.
Zero/O2 Span and Span calibration (via the use of temperature
compensated Freon and CO2 data).
During a Zero/O2 Span calibration, sample delivery pressure is
compared to ambient pressur e. If the difference is too great, the Out
Flow Fault status bit is set true and the pump is switched Off.

O2 and NO gas concentration are measured using electrochemical
(fuel cell) sensor s. A fuel cell sensor provides an e lectrical response
that is proportional to the concentration of the sample gas.
The NDIR Module sample-cell e x haus t i s dir e cte d to UA1372 manifold
for O2 or O2/NO measurement. Sample gas is de livere d to the O2 and
NO sensors through this manifold. The O2 sensor provides a linear
output of appro ximately 9 to 13 mil li-volts that is propor tional to the
Oxygen concentration in t he sample . T he NO se ns or pr o vides a linea r
output of approximately 50 nano-amperes per ppm of nitric oxide
over the range of 0 to 5.000 ppm in the gas sam ple. A 3-volt l ithiu m
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 Freon,
Carbon Dioxide 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.

2.1.1 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 tim es. If you
are unsure about the type o f sample line fo r your applica tion, c ontact
your LumaSense representative for advice before installing the
system.
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 th e sample line is located on the re ar panel of the
monitor. If the dew point of the gas sample is comparable to the
temperature in the monitor remove water and eliminate the risk of
condensation inside the monitor

3.6 Operating Modes of the Multi Gas Monitor 1316A-2
The Multi Gas Monitor 1316A-2’s operations comprise four modes of
operation.
♦ Start-up
♦ Normal
♦ Standby
♦ System Fault
3.6.1 Start-up Operating Mode
After POR (power on / reset), the Multi Gas Monitor 1316A-2
performs the following:
♦ Start-up and initialization.
♦ Self-test.
♦ Thermal warm-up. After a cold start or a Software Reset
bench command the warm-up time period is 35 seconds
maximum. After leaving standby mode the typical warmup time period is 20 seconds after completion of the first
zero.
_____________________________________________________________________________
BE6021-11 1316A-2 Multi Gas Monitor LumaSense Technologies A/S
Instruction Manual Page 49 of 97
The following actions are not allowed during the start-up mode:
♦ Zero calibration.
♦ Span calibration.
3.4.2 Normal Operating Mode
When the Start-up time ha s elapsed, the Multi Gas Mo nitor 1316A-2
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-2 leaves Normal mode and enters Standby
mode.
3.4.3 Standby Operating Mode
The 1316A-2 Gas Monitor’s Pump is turned OFF when the Standby
mode is entered.
The 1316A-2 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 measureme nt is being started. If the Standby mode
was activated by a sample cell over-te mperature 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-2 turns
ON the pump, attains thermal stability during a 20-second start-up
mode, and resumes Normal mode operation.

Multi Gas Monitor –INNOVA 1316A-2 compo nent toleranc es result in sma ll,
but relevant differe nces in measur ement of a gi ven gas conc entration. The
IR source, pressure transducers, thermistors, band pass filters, and
detectors are subject to these variances. During the Type 1316A-2
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-2 to
measure gas concentration accurately.
4.1.2 Field Calibration
The Multi Gas Monitor –INNOVA 1316A-2 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 da ta .
Immediately prior to any span calibration.
Zero calibration is a re commende d step in reco vering from se vera l types of
malfunctions.
_____________________________________________________________________________
BE6021-11 1316A-2 Multi Gas Monitor LumaSense Technologies A/S
Instruction Manual Page 53 of 97
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).

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.

4.3 Span Calibration
4.3.1 Introduction.
The Multi Gas Monitor – INNOVA 1316A-2 is designed to be span-stable.
Frequent span calibr ation is not require d to maintain accur ate gas concentratio n
measurements. The Multi Gas Moni tor may need to be routinely span calibrated
with suitable mix tures of calibration ga ses. Span calibratio n is recommended at
the following intervals:
♦ The VM0101A module measuring Freon 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.

Dismantle the filte r from the lue rlok f itti ngs and r epla ce it with a new
DS2306.
4.3.3 Calibration Gases
To perform a full calibration gases are required.
Special gas mixtures containing known concentrations of Freon
(FREON1 or FREON2) and Carbon Dioxide are required to span
calibrate the VM0101A
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 sho wn in Table 4.1 is allowed concentration ranges
for calibrating the monito r
Gas Concentration Range
Freon 100 ppm to 1000 ppm
Oxygen 1% to 25 %
Carbon Dioxide 1 % to 20 %
Nitrous Oxide 100 ppm to 5000 ppm
Nitrogen Balance
Table 4.1 Allowed gas concentration ranges for 1316A-2 Span calibration
4.3.4 Connecting the Calibration Gas
Warning! Never make a direct connection from the pressure valve
on a gas cylinder. Always use a side-str eam connection like the o ne
shown in Fig.4.12.
