1. Attach a sample inlet line to the sample inlet port. The SAMPLE input line should not be more than 2
meters long.
NOTE
Ideally, the pressure of the sample gas should be at ambient pressure (0 psig).
Maximum pressure of sample gas should not exceed 1.5 in-Hg over ambient.
In applications where the sample gas is received from a pressurized manifold, a vent
must be placed as shown to equalize the sample gas with ambient atmospheric
pressure before it enters the analyzer.
This vent line must be:
At least 0.2m long
No more than 2m long and vented outside the shelter or immediate area
surrounding the instrument.
2. Attach sources of zero air and span gas (see Figures 3-3 through 3-8 inclusive).
Span Gas is a gas specifically mixed to match the chemical composition of the type of gas being
measured at near full scale of the desired measurement range.
In the case of CO
recommended that you use a gas calibrated to have a CO
measurements made with the Teledyne Instruments Model 360E Analyzer it is
2
content equaling 80% of the range of
2
compositions being measured.
18 05232 Rev B3
Model 360E Instruction Manual Getting Started
EXAMPLE: If the application is to measure between 0 ppm and 500 ppm, an appropriate Span Gas
would be 400 ppm. If the application is to measure between 0 ppm and 100 ppm, an appropriate Span
Gas would be 80 ppm.
Span Gas can be purchased in pressurized canisters or created using Dynamic Dilution Calibrator
such as the Teledyne Instruments Model 700 and a source of dried air scrubbed of CO
such as a
2
Teledyne Instruments Model 701 Zero Air Generator in combination with a canister of indicating
soda lime (such as Teledyne Instruments P/N 037600000).
Zero Air
is similar in chemical composition to the Earth’s atmosphere but scrubbed of all
components that might affect the analyzer’s readings.
In the case of CO
measurements this means less than 0.1 ppm of CO2 and Water Vapor (when
2
dew point <-15˚C). Zero Air can be purchased in pressurized canisters or created using a Teledyne
Instruments Model 701 Zero Air Generator in combination with a canister of indicating soda lime
(such as Teledyne Instruments P/N 037600000).
3. Attach an exhaust line to the exhaust outlet port.
The exhaust from the pump and vent lines should be vented to atmospheric pressure using
maximum of 10 meters of ¼” PTEF tubing.
CAUTION
Venting should be outside the shelter or immediate area surrounding the instrument.
4. Attach a source of dried air scrubbed of CO2 to the purge inlet port.
NOTE
The minimum gas pressure of the source of purge air should be 7.5 psig.
If the source of the purge air is shared by a Teledyne Instruments M700 (as shown in
figure 3-7) the minimum gas pressure should be 25 psig and should not exceed 35 psig.
5. Once the appropriate pneumatic connections have been made, check all pneumatic fittings for leaks
using a procedure similar to that defined in Section 9.3.3.

3.1.3.3. Pneumatic Connections to M360E in Multipoint Calibration Applications
Some applications may require multipoint calibration checks where span gas of several different concentrations
is needed. We recommend using high-concentration, certified, calibration gas supplied to the analyzer through a
Gas Dilution Calibrator such as a Teledyne Instruments Model 700. This type of calibrator precisely mixes Span
Gas and Zero Air to produce any concentration level between 0 ppm and the concentration of the calibrated gas.
Figure 3-12 depicts the pneumatic set up in this sort of application of a Model 360E CO

3.1.4. Setting the internal Purge Air Pressure.
In order to maintain proper purge air flow though the GFC wheel hosing a manually adjustable pressure
regulator is provided (see Figures 3-3 and 3-5). This regulator includes two output ports. One is used to supply
purge air to the GFC wheel. The other may be used to attach a pressure gauge.
To adjust the internal purge air pressure of the M360E:
1. Turn off the instrument.
2. Remove the source of zero air attached to the purge line inlet port at the back of the analyzer.
3. Remove the analyzer’s the top cover.
4. Remove the cap from the second, unused, output port on the pressure regulator.
5. Attach a pressure gauge capable of measuring in the 5-10 psig range with 0.5 psig resolution to the port.
6. Turn the instrument on.
7. Make sure the zero air supply to the analyzer’s purge line inlet is supplying gas at a stable pressure
above 7.5 psig.
8. Adjust the M360E’s pressure regulator until the attached gauge reads 7.5 psig.
9. Turn off the instrument.
10. Remove the source of zero air attached to the purge line inlet port at the back of the analyzer.
11. Remove the pressure gauge and reattach the end cap removed in step 4 above.
12. Replace the analyzer’s top cover.

3.2.4. Functional Check
1. After the analyzer’s components has warmed up for at least 30 minutes, verify that the software properly
supports any hardware options that were installed.
2. Check to make sure that the analyzer is functioning within allowable operating parameters. Appendix C
includes a list of test functions viewable from the analyzer’s front panel as well as their expected values.
These functions are also useful tools for diagnosing performance problems with your analyzer
(Section11.1.2). The enclosed Final Test and Validation Data sheet (part number 04307) lists these
values before the instrument left the factory.
To view the current values of these parameters press the following key sequence on the analyzer’s front
panel. Remember until the unit has completed its warm up these parameters may not have stabilized.

3. If your analyzer has an Ethernet card (Option 63) installed and your network is running a dynamic host
configuration protocol (DHCP) software package, the Ethernet option will automatically configure its
interface with your LAN. However, it is a good idea to check these settings to make sure that the DHCP
has successfully downloaded the appropriate network settings from your network server (See Section
6.11.6.2).
If your network is not running DHCP, you will have to configure the analyzer’s interface manually (See
Section 6.11.6.3).

3.3. Initial Calibration Procedure
The next task is to calibrate the analyzer.
To perform the following calibration you must have sources for zero air and span gas available for input into the
sample port on the back of the analyzer. See Section 3.1.3 for instructions for connecting these gas sources.
While it is possible to perform this procedure with any range setting we recommend that you perform this initial
checkout using the 500 ppm range.
NOTE
The following procedure assumes that the instrument does not have any of the available
Zero/Span Valve Options installed.

Department for more information on this topic.
Q: How do I make the display and data logger analog input agree?
A: This most commonly occurs when an independent metering device is used besides the data
logger/recorded to determine gas concentration levels while calibrating the analyzer. These disagreements
result from the analyzer, the metering device and the data logger having slightly different ground levels.
Both the electronic scale and offset of the analog outputs can be adjusted (see Section 6.13.4.3). Alternately,
use the data logger itself as the metering device during calibrations procedures.
Q: How do I perform a leak check?
A: See Section 9.3.3.
Q: How do I measure the sample flow?
A: Sample flow is measured by attaching a calibrated rotameter, wet test meter, or other flow-measuring

5.4. Calibration Valves Options
There are four available options involving Zero/Span/Shutoff valves. From an operational and software
standpoint, all of the options are the same, only the source of the span and zero gases are different.
5.4.1. Zero/Span/Shutoff Valve (Option 50)
This option requires that both zero air and span gas be supplied from external sources. It is specifically
designed for applications where span gas will be supplied from a pressurized bottle of calibrated CO
critical flow control orifice, internal to the instrument ensures that the proper flow rate is maintained. An internal
vent line, isolated by a shutoff valve ensures that the gas pressure of the span gas is reduced to ambient
atmospheric pressure. Normally zero air would be supplied from zero air modules such as a Teledyne
Instruments Model 701.
In order to ensure that span gas does not migrate backwards through the vent line and alter the concentration of
the span gas, a gas line not less than 2 meters in length should be attached to the vent span outlet on the rear
panel of the analyzer. To prevent the buildup of back pressure, this vent line should not be greater than 10
meters in length.

Option 51 is operationally and pneumatically identical to Option 50 above (See Section5.4.1), except that the
zero air is generated by an externally mounted zero air scrubber filled with indicating soda-lime that changes
color from white to pink as it becomes saturated.
5.4.3. Zero/Span Valve (Option 52)
This valve option is intended for applications where zero air is supplied by a zero air generator like the Teledyne
Instruments Model 701 and span gas are being supplied by Gas Dilution Calibrator like the Teledyne
Instruments Model 700 or 702. Internal zero/span and sample/cal valves control the flow of gas through the
instrument, but because the calibrator limits the flow of span gas no shutoff valve is required.
In order to ensure that span gas does not migrate backwards through the vent line and alter the concentration of
the span gas, a gas line not less than 2 meters in length should be attached to the vent span outlet on the rear
panel of the analyzer. To prevent the buildup of back pressure, this vent line should not be greater than 10
meters in length.

color from white to pink as it becomes saturated.
5.5. Communication Options
5.5.1. RS232 Modem Cable (Option 60)
The analyzer can have come standard with a shielded, straight-through DB-9F to DB-9F cable of about 1.8 m
length, which should fit most computers of recent build. This cable can be ordered as Option 60.
Option 60A consists of a shielded, straight-through serial cable of about 1.8 m length to connect the analyzer’s
COM1 port to a computer, a code activated switch or any other communications device that is equipped with a
DB-25 female connector. The cable is terminated with one DB-9 female connector and one DB-25 male
connector. The DB-9 connector fits the analyzer’s COM1 port.
Some older computers or code activated switches with a DB-25 serial connector will need a different cable or an
appropriate adapter.
5.5.2. RS-232 Multidrop (Option 62)
The multidrop option is used with any of the RS-232 serial ports to enable communications of up to eight
analyzers with the host computer over a chain of RS-232 cables via the instruments COM1 Port. It is subject to
the distance limitations of the RS 232 standard.
The option consists of a small printed circuit assembly, which is plugs into to the analyzer’s CPU card (see
Figure 5-4) and is connected to the RS-232 and COM2 DB9 connectors on the instrument’s back panel via a
cable to the motherboard. One option 62 is required for each analyzer along with one 6’ straight-through, DB9
male DB9 Female cable (P/N WR0000101).
This option can be installed in conjunction with the Ethernet option (Option 63) allowing the instrument to
communicate on both types of networks simultaneously. For more information on using and setting up this
option (See Section 6.11.7)

5.6. Oxygen Sensor (OPT 65)
5.6.1. Theory of Operation
5.6.1.1. Paramagnetic measurement of O2
The oxygen sensor used in the M360E analyzer utilizes the fact that oxygen is attracted into strong magnetic
field; most other gases are not, to obtain fast, accurate oxygen measurements.
The sensor’s core is made up of two nitrogen filled glass spheres, which are mounted on a rotating suspension
within a magnetic field (Figure 5-7). A mirror is mounted centrally on the suspension and light is shone onto the
mirror that reflects the light onto a pair of photocells. The signal generated by the photocells is passed to a
feedback loop, which outputs a current to a wire winding (in effect, a small DC electric motor) mounted on the
suspended mirror.
Oxygen from the sample stream is attracted into the magnetic field displacing the nitrogen filled spheres and
causing the suspended mirror to rotate. This changes the amount of light reflected onto the photocells and
therefore the output levels of the photocells. The feedback loop increases the amount of current fed into the
winding in order to move the mirror back into its original position. The more O
moves and the more current is fed into the winding by the feedback control loop.
present, the more the mirror

A sensor measures the amount of current generated by the feedback control loop which is directly proportional
to the concentration of oxygen within the sample gas mixture (see Figure 5-7).

5.9. Special Software Features
5.9.1. Dilution Ratio Option
The Dilution Ration Option is a software option that is designed for applications where the Sample gas is diluted
before being analyzed by the Model 360E. Typically this occurs in Continuous Emission Monitoring (CEM)
applications where the quality of gas in a smoke stack is being tested and the sampling method used to remove
the gas from the stack dilutes the gas.
Once the degree of dilution is known, this feature allows the user to add an appropriate scaling factor to the

API’s instruments can be equipped with a switch that places the instrument in maintenance mode. When
present, the switch accessed by opening the hinged front panel and is located on the rearward facing side of the
display/keyboard driver PCA; on the left side; near the particulate filter.
When in maintenance mode the instrument ignores all commands received via the COMM ports that alter the
operation state of the instrument. This includes all calibration commands, diagnostic menu commands and the
reset instrument command. The instrument continues to measure concentration and send data when requested.
This option is of particular use for instruments connected to multidrop or Hessen protocol networks.
5.9.3. Second Language Switch
API’s instruments can be equipped with switch that activates an alternate set of display message in a language
other than the instruments default language. When present, the switch accessed by opening the hinged front
panel and is located on the rearward facing side of the display/keyboard driver PCA; on the right side.
To activate this feature, the instrument must also have a specially programmed Disk on Chip containing the
second language.

To assist in navigating the analyzer’s software, a series of menu trees can be found in Appendix A-1 of this
manual.
NOTES
The flow charts appearing in this contain typical representations of the analyzer’s
display during the various operations being described. These representations may
differ slightly from the actual display of your instrument.
The ENTR key may disappear if you select a setting that is invalid or out of the allowable
range for that parameter, such as trying to set the 24-hour clock to 25:00:00. Once you
adjust the setting to an allowable value, the ENTR key will re-appear.
6.1. Overview of Operating modes
The M360E software has a variety of operating modes. Most commonly, the analyzer will be operating in
SAMPLE mode. In this mode, a continuous read-out of the CO
and output as an analog voltage from rear panel terminals, calibrations can be performed, and TEST functions
and WARNING messages can be examined.
The second most important operating mode is SETUP mode. This mode is used for performing certain
configuration operations, such as for the iDAS system, the reporting ranges, or the serial (RS-232/RS485/Ethernet) communication channels. The SET UP mode is also used for performing various diagnostic tests
during troubleshooting.

6.3. Calibration Mode
Pressing the CAL key switches the M360E into multi-point calibration mode. In this mode, the user can calibrate
the instrument or check the instruments calibration with the use of calibrated zero or span gases.
If the instrument includes either the zero/span valve option or IZS option, the display will also include CALZ and
CALS keys. Pressing either of these keys also puts the instrument into multipoint calibration mode.
The CALZ key is used to initiate a calibration of the zero point.
The CALS key is used to calibrate the span point of the analyzer. It is recommended that this span
calibration is performed at 90% of full scale of the analyzer’s currently selected reporting range.
Because of their critical importance and complexity, calibration operations are described in detail in Chapter 7 of
this manual. For more information concerning the zero/span, zero/span/shutoff and IZS valve options, See
Section 5.4.

Model 360E Instruction Manual Operating Instructions
6.7. SETUP DAS: Using the Data Acquisition System (iDAS)
The M360E analyzer contains a flexible and powerful, internal data acquisition system (iDAS) that enables the
analyzer to store concentration and calibration data as well as a host of diagnostic parameters. The iDAS of the
M360E can store up to about one million data points, which can, depending on individual configurations, cover
days, weeks or months of valuable measurements. The data are stored in non-volatile memory and are retained
even when the instrument is powered off. Data are stored in plain text format for easy retrieval and use in
common data analysis programs (such as spreadsheet-type programs).
The iDAS is designed to be flexible, users have full control over the type, length and reporting time of the data.
The iDAS permits users to access stored data through the instrument’s front panel or its communication ports.
Using APICOM, data can even be retrieved automatically to a remote computer for further processing.
The principal use of the iDAS is logging data for trend analysis and predictive diagnostics, which can assist in
identifying possible problems before they affect the functionality of the analyzer. The secondary use is for data
analysis, documentation and archival in electronic format.
To support the iDAS functionality, Teledyne Instruments offers APICOM, a program that provides a visual
interface for remote or local setup, configuration and data retrieval of the iDAS (Section 6.7). The APICOM
manual, which is included with the program, contains a more detailed description of the iDAS structure and
configuration.
The M360E is configured with a basic iDAS configuration, which is enabled by default. New data channels are
also enabled by default but each channel may be turned off for later or occasional use. Note that iDAS
operation is suspended while its configuration is edited through the front panel. To prevent such data loss, it is
recommended to use the APICOM graphical user interface for iDAS changes.
The green SAMPLE LED on the instrument front panel, which indicates the analyzer status, also indicates
certain aspects of the iDAS status:
Table 6-6: Front Panel LED Status Indicators for iDAS
LED STATE iDAS Status
OFF System is in calibration mode. Data logging can be enabled or disabled for this mode.
Calibration data are typically stored at the end of calibration periods, concentration data are
typically not sampled, diagnostic data should be collected.
BLINKING Instrument is in hold-off mode, a short period after the system exits calibrations. IDAS
channels can be enabled or disabled for this period. Concentration data are typically disabled
whereas diagnostic should be collected.
ON
The iDAS can be disabled only by disabling or deleting its individual data channels.
Sampling normally.
6.7.1. iDAS Structure
The iDAS is designed around the feature of a “record”. A record is a single data point of one parameter, stored
in one (or more) data channels and generated by one of several triggering event. The entire iDAS configuration
is stored in a script, which can be edited from the front panel or downloaded, edited and uploaded to the
instrument in form of a string of plain-text lines through the communication ports.
iDAS data are defined by the PARAMETER type and are stored through different triggering EVENTS in data
CHANNELS, which relate triggering events to data parameters and define certain operational functions related
to the recording and reporting of the data.
05232 Rev B3 59
Operating Instructions Model 360E Instruction Manual
6.7.1.1. iDAS Channels
The key to the flexibility of the iDAS is its ability to store a large number of combinations of triggering events and
data parameters in the form of data channels. Users may create up to 20 data channels and each channel can
contain one or more parameters. For each channel one triggering event is selected and up to 50 data
parameters, which can be the same or different between channels. Each data channel has several properties
that define the structure of the channel and allow the user to make operational decisions regarding the channel
(Table 6-7).

6.7.1.2. iDAS Parameters
Data parameters are types of data that may be measured and stored by the iDAS. For each Teledyne
Instruments analyzer model, the list of available data parameters is different, fully defined and not customizable.
Appendix A-5 lists firmware specific data parameters for the M360E. iDAS parameters include things like CO
concentration measurements, temperatures of the various heaters placed around the analyzer, pressures and
flows of the pneumatic subsystem and other diagnostic measurements as well as calibration data such as slope
and offset.
Most data parameters have associated measurement units, such as mV, ppb, cm³/min, etc., although some
parameters have no units. With the exception of concentration readings, none of these units of measure can be
changed. To change the units of measure for concentration readings See Section 6.8.6.
Note
iDAS does not keep track of the unit of each concentration value and iDAS data files
may contain concentrations in multiple units if the unit was changed during data
acquisition.

ON: stores the average and the number of samples in each average for a parameter. This
property is only useful when the AVG sample mode is used. Note that the number of samples
is the same for all parameters in one channel and needs to be specified only for one of the
parameters in that channel.
Users can specify up to 50 parameters per data channel (the M360E provides about 30 parameters). However,
the number of parameters and channels is ultimately limited by available memory.

Operating Instructions Model 360E Instruction Manual
6.7.1.3. iDAS Triggering Events
Triggering events define when and how the iDAS records a measurement of any given data channel. Triggering
events are firmware-specific and a complete list of Triggers for this model analyzer can be found in Appendix A-
5. The most commonly used triggering events are:
ATIMER: Sampling at regular intervals specified by an automatic timer. Most trending
information is usually stored at such regular intervals, which can be instantaneous or averaged.
EXITZR, EXITSP, SLPCHG (exit zero, exit span, slope change): Sampling at the end of
(irregularly occurring) calibrations or when the response slope changes. These triggering
events create instantaneous data points, e.g., for the new slope and offset (concentration
response) values at the end of a calibration. Zero and slope values are valuable to monitor
response drift and to document when the instrument was calibrated.
WARNINGS: Some data may be useful when stored if one of several warning messages
appears such as WTEMPW (GFC wheel temperature warning) or PPRESW (purge pressure
warning). This is helpful for trouble-shooting by monitoring when a particular warning occurred.
6.7.2. Default iDAS Channels
A set of default Data Channels has been included in the analyzer’s software for logging CO2 concentration and
certain predictive diagnostic data. These default channels include but are not limited to:
CONC: Samples CO
date stamp. Readings during calibration and calibration hold off are not included in the data. By default, the last
800 hourly averages are stored.
PNUMTC: Collects sample flow and sample pressure data at five minute intervals and stores an average once a
day with a time and date stamp. This data is useful for monitoring the condition of the pump and critical flow
orifice (sample flow) and the sample filter (clogging indicated by a drop in sample pressure) over time to predict
when maintenance will be required. The last 360 daily averages (about 1 year) are stored.
CALDAT: Logs new slope and offset every time a zero or span calibration is performed. This Data Channel also
records the instrument readings just prior to performing a calibration. This information is useful for performing
predictive diagnostics as part of a regular maintenance schedule (See Section 9.1).
STBZRO: Logs the concentration stability, the electronic output of the IR detector of the most recent measure
phase and the measure/reference ratio every time the instrument exits the zero calibration mode. Data from the
last 200 zero calibrations is stored. A time and date stamp is recorded for every data point logged. This
information is useful for performing predictive diagnostics as part of a regular maintenance schedule (See
Section 9.1).
STBSPN: Logs the electronic output of the IR detector of the most recent measure phase and the
measure/reference ratio every time the instrument exits span calibration mode. Data from the last 200 zero
calibrations is stored. A time and date stamp is recorded for every data point logged. This information is useful
for performing predictive diagnostics as part of a regular maintenance schedule (See Section 9.1).
concentration at one minute intervals and stores an average every hour with a time and
2
TEMP: Samples the analyzer’s bench temperature, box temperature and PHT cooler drive voltage every five
minutes and records an average once every six hours. Data from the last 400 averaging periods is recorded. A
time and date stamp is recorded for every data point logged. This information is useful for performing predictive
diagnostics as part of a regular maintenance schedule (See Section 9.1).

6.7.2.4. Editing iDAS Parameters
Data channels can be edited individually from the front panel without affecting other data channels. However,
when editing a data channel, such as during adding, deleting or editing parameters, all data for that particular
channel will be lost, because the iDAS can store only data of one format (number of parameter columns etc.) for
any given channel. In addition, an iDAS configuration can only be uploaded remotely as an entire set of
channels. Hence, remote update of the iDAS will always delete all current channels and stored data.

6.7.2.5. Sample Period and Report Period
The iDAS defines two principal time periods by which sample readings are taken and permanently recorded:
SAMPLE PERIOD: Determines how often iDAS temporarily records a sample reading of the parameter
in volatile memory. The SAMPLE PERIOD is set to one minute by default and generally cannot be
accessed from the standard iDAS front panel menu, but is available via the instruments communication
ports by using APICOM or the analyzer’s standard serial data protocol.
SAMPLE PERIOD is only used when the iDAS parameter’s sample mode is set for AVG, MIN or MAX.
REPORT PERIOD: Sets how often the sample readings stored in volatile memory are processed, (e.g.
average, minimum or maximum are calculated) and the results stored permanently in the instruments
Disk-on-Chip as well as transmitted via the analyzer’s communication ports. The REPORT PERIOD
may be set from the front panel.
If the INST sample mode is selected the instrument stores and reports an instantaneous reading of the
selected parameter at the end of the chosen REPORT PERIOD
In AVG, MIN or MAX sample modes, the settings for the SAMPLE PERIOD and the REPORT PERIOD
determine the number of data points used each time the average, minimum or maximum is calculated, stored
and reported to the COMM ports. The actual sample readings are not stored past the end of the of the chosen
REPORT PERIOD.
Also, the SAMPLE PERIOD and REPORT PERIOD intervals are synchronized to the beginning and end of the
appropriate interval of the instruments internal clock.
If SAMPLE PERIOD were set for one minute the first reading would occur at the beginning of the next
full minute according to the instrument’s internal clock.
If the REPORT PERIOD were set for of one hour the first report activity would occur at the beginning of
the next full hour according to the instrument’s internal clock.
EXAMPLE: Given the above settings, if iDAS were activated at 7:57:35 the first sample would occur at
7:58 and the first report would be calculated at 8:00 consisting of data points for 7:58. 7:59 and 8:00.
During the next hour (from 8:01 to 9:00) the instrument will take a sample reading every minute and
include 60 sample readings.
When the STORE NUM. SAMPLES feature is turned on the instrument will also store how many sample
readings were used for the AVG, MIN or MAX calculation but not the readings themselves.
REPORT PERIODS IN PROGRESS WHEN INSTRUMENT IS POWERED OFF
If the instrument is powered off in the middle of a REPORT PERIOD, the samples accumulated so far during that
period are lost. Once the instrument is turned back on, the iDAS restarts taking samples and temporarily them
in volatile memory as part of the REPORT PERIOD curre
REPORT PERIOD only the sample readings taken since the instrument was turned back on will be included in
any AVG, MIN or MAX calculation. Also, the STORE NUM. SAMPLES feature will report the number of sample
readings taken since the instrument was restarted.

6.7.2.6. Number of Records
The number of data records in the M360E is limited to about a cumulative one million data points in all channels
(one megabyte of space on the disk-on-chip). However, the actual number of records is also limited by the total
number of parameters and channels and other settings in the iDAS configuration. Every additional data channel,
parameter, number of samples setting etc. and will reduce the maximum amount of data points somewhat. In
general, however, the maximum data capacity is divided amongst all channels (max: 20) and parameters (max:
50 per channel).
The iDAS will check the amount of available data space and prevent the user from specifying too many records
at any given point. If, for example, the iDAS memory space can accommodate 375 more data records, the
ENTR key will disappear when trying to specify more than that number of records. This check for memory space
may also make an upload of an iDAS configuration with APICOM or a Terminal program fail, if the combined
number of records would be exceeded. In this case, it is suggested to either try from the front panel what the
maximum number of records can be or use trial-and-error in designing the iDAS script or calculate the number of
records using the DAS or APICOM manuals. To set the number of records for one channel from the front panel,

All three outputs can be configured either at the factory or by the user for full scale outputs of 0.1 VDC, 1VDC,
5VDC or 10VDC. Additionally A1 and A2 may be equipped with optional 0-20 mADC current loop drivers and
configured for any current output within that range (e.g. 0-20, 2-20, 4-20, etc.). The user may also adjust the
signal level and scaling of the actual output voltage or current to match the input requirements of the recorder or
data logger (See Section 6.13.4).
The A1 and A2 channels output a signal that is proportional to the CO
concentration of the sample gas.

Several modes are available which allow them to operate independently or be slaved together (See Section 6.7).
The user may also select between a variety of reporting range spans (See Sections 6.8.3, 6.8.4 and 6.8.5).
EXAMPLE:

6.8.1. Physical Range versus Analog Output Reporting Ranges
Functionally, the Model 360E Gas Filter Correlation CO2 Analyzer has one hardware Physical Range that is
capable of determining CO
reliability and accuracy by avoiding the need for extra, switchable, gain-amplification circuitry. Once properly
calibrated, the analyzer’s front panel will accurately report concentrations along the entire span of its 50 ppb and
2,000 ppm physical range.
Because, most applications use only a small part of the analyzer’s physical range, the width of the Model 360E’s
physical range can create data resolution problems for most analog recording devices. For example, in an
application where the expected concentration of CO
values is only 25% of the instrument’s 2,000 ppm physical range. Unmodified, the corresponding output signal
would also be recorded across only 25% of the range of the recording device.

05232 Rev B3 77
Operating Instructions Model 360E Instruction Manual
The M360E solves this problem by allowing the user to select a scaled reporting range for the analog outputs
that only includes that portion of the physical range relevant to the specific application. Only the reporting range
of the analog outputs is scaled, the physical range of the analyzer and the readings displayed on the front panel
remain unaltered.
6.8.2. Reporting Range Modes
The M360E provides three analog output range modes to choose from.
Single range (SNGL) mode sets a single maximum range for the analog output. If single range is
selected (See Section 6.78.3) both outputs are slaved together and will represent the same
measurement span (e.g. 0-50 ppm), however their electronic signal levels may be configured for
different ranges (e.g. 0-10 VDC vs. 0-.1 VDC – See Section 6.9.4.1).
Dual range (DUAL) allows the A1 and A2 outputs to be configured with different measurement spans
(See Section 6.8.4) as well as separate electronic signal levels (See Section 6.9.4.1).
Auto range (AUTO) mode gives the analyzer to ability to output data via a low range and high range.
When this mode is selected (See Section 6.8.5) the M360E will automatically switch between the two
ranges dynamically as the concentration value fluctuates.
Range status is also output via the external digital I/O status outputs (See Section 6.15.1.1).

6.8.4. Dual Range Mode (DUAL)
Selecting Dual Range mode allows the A1 and A2 outputs to be configured with different reporting ranges. The
analyzer software calls these two ranges low and high. The low range setting corresponds with the analog
output labeled A1 on the Rear Panel of the instrument. The high Range Setting corresponds with the A2 output.
While the software names these two ranges low and high, they do not have to be configured that way. For
example: The low range can be set for a span of 0-1000 ppm while the high range is set for 0-500 ppm.
In DUAL range mode the RANGE test function displayed on the front panel will be replaced by two separate

When the instrument’s range mode is set to DUAL the concentration field in the upper right hand corner of the
display alternates between displaying the low range value and the high range value. The concentration currently
being displayed is identified as follows: C1 = Low (or A1) and C2 = High (or A2).
NOTE
In DUAL range mode the LOW and HIGH ranges have separate slopes and offsets for
computing CO2 concentration.
The two ranges must be independently calibrated.

In AUTO Range mode the instrument reports the same data in the same range on both the A1 and A2 outputs
and automatically switches both outputs between ranges as described above. Also, the RANGE test function
displayed on the front panel will automatically switch to show which range is in effect.
The high/low range status is also reported through the external, digital status outputs (Section 6.15.1.1).

Model 360E Instruction Manual Operating Instructions
6.8.7. Dilution Ratio
The dilution ratio is a software option that allows the user to compensate for any dilution of the sample gas
before it enters the sample inlet. Using the dilution ratio option is a 4-step process:
1. Select reporting range units: Follow the procedure in Section 6.8.6.
2. Select the range: Use the procedures in Sections 6.8.2 – 6.8.5. Make sure that the SPAN value entered
is the maximum expected concentration of the undiluted calibration gas and that the span gas is either
supplied through the same dilution inlet system as the sample gas or has an appropriately lower actual
concentration. For example, with a dilution set to 100, a 10 ppm gas can be used to calibrate a 1000
ppm sample gas if the span gas is not routed through the dilution system. On the other hand, if a 1000
ppm span gas is used, it needs to pass through the same dilution steps as the sample gas.
3. Set the dilution factor as a gain (e.g., a value of 20 means 20 parts diluting gas and 1 part of sample
gas):
DIL only appears
if the dilution ratio
option has been

Toggle these keys to set the dilution

This is the number by which the
analyzer will multiply the CO
concentrations of the gas passing

6.9. SETUP PASS: Password Feature
The M360E provides password protection of the calibration and setup functions to prevent unauthorized
adjustments. When the passwords have been enabled in the PASS menu item, the system will prompt the user
for a password anytime a password-protected function is requested.
There are three levels of password protection, which correspond to operator, maintenance, and configuration
functions. Each level allows access to all of the functions in the previous level.

Operating Instructions Model 360E Instruction Manual
6.11. SETUP MORE COMM: Using the Analyser’s
Communication Ports
The M360E is equipped with two serial communication ports located on the rear panel (Figure 3-2). Both ports
operate similarly and give the user the ability to communicate with, issue commands to, and receive data from
the analyzer through an external computer system or terminal. By default, both ports operate on the RS-232
protocol.
The COM1 port can also be configured to operate in single or RS-232 multidrop mode (option 62; See
Section 5.5.2 and 6.11.7).
The COM2 port can be configured for standard RS-232 operation, half-duplex RS-485 communication or
for access via an LAN by installing the Teledyne Instruments Ethernet interface card (option 63; See
Section 5.5.3 and 6.11.6).
A code-activated switch (CAS), can also be used on either port to connect typically between 2 and 16
send/receive instruments (host computer(s) printers, data loggers, analyzers, monitors, calibrators, etc.) into one
communications hub. Contact Teledyne Instruments sales for more information on CAS systems.
6.11.1. Analyzer ID
Each type of Teledyne Instruments analyzer is configured with a default ID code. The default ID code for all
M360M analyzers is 360. The ID number is only important if more than one analyzer is connected to the same
communications channel such as when several analyzers are on the same Ethernet LAN (See Section 6.11.6);
in a RS-232 multidrop chain (See Section 6.11.7) or operating over a RS-485 network (See Section 6.11.3). If
two analyzers of the same model type are used on one channel, the ID codes of one or both of the instruments
needs to be changed so

The ID number is only important if more than one analyzer is connected to the same communications channel
(e.g., a multi-drop setup). Different models of Teledyne Instruments analyzers have different default ID
numbers, but if two analyzers of the same model type are used on one channel (for example, two M360E’s), the
ID of one instrument needs to be changed.
The ID can also be used for to identify any one of several analyzers attached to the same network but situated in
different physical locations.

o Data Bits: 8 data bits with 1 stop bit.
o Parity: None.
COM2: RS-232 (configurable), DB-9 female connector.
o Baud rate: 115000 bits per second (baud).
o Data Bits: 8 data bits with 1 stop bit.
o Parity: None.
NOTE
Cables that appear to be compatible because of matching connectors may incorporate
internal wiring that make the link inoperable. Check cables acquired from sources other
than Teledyne Instruments for pin assignments before using.
In its default configuration, the M360E analyzer has two available RS-232 Com ports accessible via 2 DB-9
connectors on the back panel of the instrument. The COM1 connector is a male DB-9 connector and the COM2
is a female DB9 connector.

Teledyne Instruments offers two mating cables, one of which should be applicable for your use.
Part number WR000077, a DB-9 female to DB-9 female cable, 6 feet long. Allows connection of COM1
with the serial port of most personal computers. Also available as Option 60 (See Section 5.5.1).
Part number WR000024, a DB-9 female to DB-25 male cable. Allows connection to the most common
styles of modems (e.g. Hayes-compatible) and code activated switches.
Both cables are configured with straight-through wiring and should require no additional adapters.
To assist in properly connecting the serial ports to either a computer or a modem, there are activity indicators
just above the RS-232 port. Once a cable is connected between the analyzer and a computer or modem, both
the red and green LEDs should be on. If the lights for COM 1 are not lit, use small switch on the rear panel to
switch it between DTE and DCE modes (See
Section 6.11.4). If both LEDs are still not illuminated, check the cable for proper wiring.
