WARNING
TOXIC CHEMICAL HAZARD
This instrument generates ozone which is toxic by inhalation and is a strong irritant to throat and
lungs. Ozone is also a strong oxidizing agent. Its presence is detected by a characteristic pungent
odor.
The instrument exhaust contains both ozone and nitrogen dioxide, both toxic by inhalation, and
may contain other constituents of the sample gas which may be toxic. Such gases include various
oxides of nitrogen, unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and other products of combustion
reactions. Carbon monoxide is highly toxic and can cause headache, nausea, loss of consciousness, and death.
Avoid inhalation of the ozone produced within the analyzer and avoid inhalation of the sample and
exhaust products transported within the analyzer. Avoid inhalation of the combined exhaust products at the exhaust fitting.
Keep all tube fittings tight to avoid leaks. See Section 2-8 for Leak Test Procedure.

TOXIC AND OXIDIZING GAS HAZARD
The ozone generator lamp contains mercury. Lamp breakage could result in mercury exposure.
Mercury is highly toxic if absorbed through skin or ingested, or if vapors are inhaled.
HANDLE LAMP ASSEMBLY WITH EXTREME CARE
If lamp is broken, avoid skin contact and inhalation in the area of the lamp or the mercury spill.
•
Immediately clean up and dispose of the mercury spill and lamp residue as follows:
•
Wearing rubber gloves and goggles, collect all droplets of mercury by means of a suction pump
and aspirator bottle with long capillary tube. Alternatively, a commercially available mercury
spill clean-up kit, such as J. T. Baker product No. 4439-01, is recommended.
•
Carefully sweep any remaining mercury and lamp debris into a dust pan. Carefully transfer all
mercury, lamp residue and debris into a plastic bottle which can be tightly capped. Label and
return to hazardous material reclamation center.

•
Do not place in trash, incinerate or flush down sewer.
•
Cover any fine droplets of mercury in non-accessible crevices with calcium polysulfide and sulfur dust.
WARNING.
TOPPLING HAZARD
This instrument’s internal pullout chassis is equipped with a safety stop latch located on the left
side of the chassis.
When extracting the chassis, verify that the safety latch is in its proper (counter-clockwise) orientation.
If access to the rear of the chassis is required, the safety stop may be overridden by lifting the
latch; however, further extraction must be done very carefully to insure the chassis does not fall
out of its enclosure.
If the instrument is located on top of a table or bench near the edge, and the chassis is extracted, it
must be supported to prevent toppling.
Failure to observe these precautions could result in personal injury and/or damage to the product.

Used by Permission
1. Never drop cylinders or permit them to strike each other violently.
2. Cylinders may be stored in the open, but in such cases, should be protected against extremes of weather
and, to prevent rusting, from the dampness of the ground. Cylinders should be stored in the shade when located in areas where extreme temperatures are prevalent.
3. The valve protection cap should be left on each cylinder until it has been secured against a wall or bench, or
placed in a cylinder stand, and is ready to be used.
4. Avoid dragging, rolling, or sliding cylinders, even for a short distance; they should be moved by using a suitable hand-truck.
5. Never tamper with safety devices in valves or cylinders.
6. Do not store full and empty cylinders together. Serious suckback can occur when an empty cylinder is attached to a pressurized system.
7. No part of cylinder should be subjected to a temperature higher than 125
permitted to come in contact with any part of a compressed gas cylinder.
8. Do not place cylinders where they may become part of an electric circuit. When electric arc welding, precautions must be taken to prevent striking an arc against the cylinder.

CONDENSED STARTUP AND CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Instruction Manual
748214-R
March 2002
The following summarized instructions on
startup and calibration are intended for operators already familiar with the analyzer.
For initial startup, refer to detailed instructions
provided in Section 3.
1. Set slider switch on the Signal Board to 250
ppm (see Figure 3-2).
2. Apply power to the analyzer. The analyzer
will now require approximately one to two
hours for temperature equilibrium before
being ready for calibration.
3. Verify that the pressure regulator on the cylinder of zero gas (nitrogen or air) or sample
gas is set for supply pressure of 10 to 17
psig.
4. Verify that the pressure regulator on the cylinder of air (ozonator supply) is set for supply
pressure of 20 to 25 psig.
5. Establish correct pressure of sample gas:
a. Supply sample gas to rear-panel SAM-
PLE inlet at 10 to 17 psig (normally 15
psig).
b. Adjust SAMPLE Back Pressure Regula-
tor so that SAMPLE Pressure Gauge indicates the value appropriate to the
desired operating range (normal operating pressure is 3 to 5 psig). See Figure
3-1.
6. Establish correct pressure of zero gas:
a. Supply zero gas to rear panel SAMPLE
inlet and set to 15 psig.
b. Note reading on SAMPLE Pressure
Gauge. It should be the same as in Step
5. b. If not, adjust output pressure
regulator on the zero gas cylinder as required.
a. Supply upscale standard gas to rear
panel SAMPLE inlet.
b. Note reading on SAMPLE Pressure
Gauge. It should be the same as in
Step 6. b. If not, adjust output
regulator on cylinder of upscale
standard gas as required.
NOTE
Supply pressure for sample, upscale
standard gas and zero air must be the
same. If not, the readout will be in error.
8. Zero Calibration:
a. Set PPM RANGE Switch for range to
be used for sample analysis. Set
SPAN Control at normal operating
setting, if known, or at about midrange if normal setting is not known.
b. Supply zero gas to rear panel SAM-
PLE inlet.
c. Adjust ZERO Control for reading of
zero on meter or recorder.
9. Upscale Calibration:
a. Set PPM RANGE Switch at setting
appropriate to the particular span
gas.
b. Supply upscale standard gas of ac-
curately known NOx content to rear
panel SAMPLE inlet.
c. Adjust SPAN Control so that reading
on meter or recorder is equal to the
know parts-per-million concentration
of NOx in the span gas.
NOTE
It is the responsibility of the user to
measure efficiency of the NO
converter during initial startup, and
thereafter at intervals appropriate to the
application, normally once a month.

SECTION 1
DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
1-1 OVERVIEW
The Model 951C NOx Analyzer is designed to
measure NOx using one of two sets of ranges
designated as Hi or Lo. The Hi Range set consists of spans with ranges of 0-100, 0-250,
0-1000, and 0-2500 ppm NOx. The Lo Range
set consists of spans with ranges of 0-10, 0-25,
0-100, and 0-250 ppm NOx.
The NOx analyzer continuously analyzes a
flowing gas sample for NOx [nitric oxide (NO)
plus nitrogen dioxide (NO
concentrations is continuously reported as NOx.
The analyzer is based on the chemiluminescence method of NO detection. The sample is
continuously passed through a heated bed of
vitreous carbon, in which NO
Any NO initially present in the sample passes
through the converter unchanged, and any NO
is converted to an approximately equivalent
(95%) amount of NO.
The NO is quantitatively converted to NO
gas-phase oxidation with molecular ozone produced within the analyzer from air supplied by
an external cylinder. During this reaction, approximately 10% of the NO
vated to an electronically excited state, followed
by immediate decay to the non-excited state,
accompanied by emission of photons. These
photons are detected by a photomultiplier tube,
which in turn generates a DC current proportional to the concentration of NOx in the sample
stream. The current is then amplified and used
to drive a front panel display and to provide potentiometric and isolated current outputs.
