1.1 Broad Overview

The 1316A-3 Multi Gas Monitor simultaneously measures the concentration of up to 5 Gases. The concentration of each gas is expressed as ppm or as 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 monitorin g 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

Figure 1.1 shows a flow diagram of the 1316A-3 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 VM0102A 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 co ntrols 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 6014 software.

1.2.2 NDIR Module and UA1372 Module (Optional) Measuring System

This block is the he art of the monitor. It conta ins the I nfrar ed 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 BZ60 14. The inte rnal gas-circuits (see figure 1.1) are arranged such that samples pass through the measurement chamber in a continuous flow and dir ecte d from the NDIR sample cell to the UA1372 Mo dule to the Electr och emic al Se nsor s. Exh aust ga se s are expelled via the gas outlet. The Zero Gas used for zero calibration of the N DIR 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-3 can be dire ctly 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 Description

The BZ6014 software is menu driven specifically written to control the 1316A-3 monitor. The software allows you to change the operational paramete rs and see the results of measureme nts on the PC screen.
The software can be used to control up to four Multi Gas Monitors 1316A-3 including these instruments in your system allows up to 4 different sample points to be controlled measured by the BZ6014.
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 spread sheet programs. Note though that the save-to-disk process is not a dump of data from the 1316A-3 to the PC, but a p ro c e ss in which the data lo g file on the PC is updated continuously .
Therefore, to us e the PC to log data, it must be constantly attached to the 1316A-3.
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

1.4 NDIR Gas Measurement

The Module VM0102A measures the following sample gas concentrations: Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Ethanol
And the UA1372 is as an example given with an O2, and NO sensor installed.

1.4.1 Ethanol, CO and CO2 Measurement

The NDIR measurement method uses fixed, non-scanning infrared light frequencies to characterize Ethanol, CO, and CO2 gas concentrations. NDIR absorption profiles are the basis for measurement. The co ncentr ation of a g as volume is a funct ion o f the quantity of gas molecules in the sample. The absorption of infrared light increases w ith the number of gas mo le cule s in the light path. As the concentration of infrared-absorbing gas increases, the transmission of infrared light decreases. A bas ic NDIR measurement system includes the following elements:

PASS FILTERS
Figure 1.4 The Optics of the NDIR Module.
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 co mpensa tion for sample gas tempe ratur e and pressure variances. Sample ga s exits th e ce ll at the end o pposite 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 optimise d to match the absorptio n spectra of Hydrocarbons, Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide.
The filter associa ted with Hydrocarbons is centr ed 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 cir cuit board that includes the digital and analog ue electro nic components and the IR detector assemb ly. The IR detector ass embly includes thermopile IR detectors for the Ethanol, 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 s ample gas. The Ethanol de tector inclu des 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 (Ethanol 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 Ethanol, CO and CO2 gas concentration measurement.
Span calibration (via the use of temperature compensated Ethanol, CO2 and CO data).
An “out of range” IR detector/filter temperature condition causes Ethanol, CO2 and CO data to be declared “data invalid.”
_____________________________________________________________________________ BE6024-12 1316A-3 Multi Gas Monitor LumaSense Technologies A/S Instruction Manual Page 14 of 96
Chapter 1
_________________________________________________________________________________________
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.
Sample Cell Temperature:
The Module sample cell tempe rature is monitored by a thermistor in contact with the sample ce ll. This temperature mea surement is used as follows:
An “out of range” s ample cell temperature condition causes Ethanol, CO2 and CO 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. ”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 Ethanol, CO and CO2 gas concentration measurement.
Zero/O2 Span and Span calibration (via the use of temperature compensated Ethanol, CO2 and CO data).
_____________________________________________________________________________ BE6024-12 1316A-3 Multi Gas Monitor LumaSense Technologies A/S Instruction Manual Page 15 of 96
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) 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 exhaust is directed 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 t hat is pr oportio nal to the Oxygen concentration in t he sa mple. T he N O se nsor 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 li thium 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 Ethanol, 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 condi tio ns 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 150 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 shor t as possible to assist response times. If you are unsure about the type o f sample line fo r your applica tion, co ntact 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 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, an inline Genie membrane separator UA1365 can be used to remove water droplets and elimin a te the r isk of condensation inside the monitor

2.1.3 Mains Supply Warning. The monitor must be used with protective earth.

The monitor operates in the AC voltage range from 100 – 240 V on a single phase supply, 50 Hz – 60 Hz, 40 VA.
The power cable is connected to a sock et on the rear pane l. The on­off switch is located immediately above this socket.

2.3 Connecting the Monitor to the PC

For the 1316A-3 monitor and PC to communicate, the two must be linked together. The 1316A-3 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 interfa ce used to communicate w ith the 1316A-3 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-3 monitor also has a standard USB socket on its rear panel. This is the digital interface used to communicate with the 1316A-3 monitor. This must be conne cte d to a fr ee USB po rt on yo ur computer using a USB cable . Ple ase ma ke sur e that t he US B drive r is installed before connecting t he 1316A-3 with the PC. The USB cable is hot pluggable, me aning that it can be conne cted while the PC and the 1316A-3 monitor is on.
When making the co nnection to the c ompute r, note do wn w hich COM port you have used – you will require th is information to set up the communication paramete rs. You may choose to use the ports COM1 to COM4. If you are unsure, refer to information about your computer to identify the por t name. When using an USB connection between the 1316A-3 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 BZ6014 to communicate with the 1316A-3 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”.
