1.3 Principle of Operation
The detection of ozone molecules is based on absorption of 254 nm UV light due to an
internal electronic resonance of the O3 molecule. The Model 450 uses a mercury lamp
constructed so that a large majority of the light emitted is at the 254nm wavelength. Light
from the lamp shines down a hollow quartz tube that is alternately filled with sample gas,
then filled with gas scrubbed to remove ozone. The ratio of the intensity of light passing
through the scrubbed gas to that of the sample forms a ratio I/Io. This ratio forms the
basis for the calculation of the ozone concentration.
The Beer-Lambert equation, shown below, calculates the concentration of ozone from the
ratio of light intensities.

Where:
I = Intensity of light passed through the sample
I
= Intensity of light through sample free of ozone
o
= absorption coefficient
l = path length
= concentration of ozone in ppb
O

= sample temperature in degrees Kelvin
= pressure in inches of mercury
As can be seen the concentration of ozone depends on more than the intensity ratio.
Temperature and pressure influence the density of the sample. The density changes the
number of ozone molecules in the absorption tube which impacts the amount of light
removed from the light beam. These effects are addressed by directly measuring
temperature and pressure and including their actual values in the calculation. The
absorption coefficient is a number that reflects the inherent ability of ozone to absorb 254
nm light. Most current measurements place this value at 308 cm-1 atm-1 at STP. The
value of this number reflects the fact that ozone is a very efficient absorber of UV
radiation which is why stratospheric ozone protects the life forms lower in the
atmosphere from the harmful effects from solar UV radiation. Lastly, the absorption path
length determines how many molecules are present in the column of gas in the absorption
tube.

The intensity of light is converted into a voltage by the detector/preamp module. The
voltage is converted into a number by a voltage-to-frequency (V/F) converter capable of
80,000 count resolution. The digitized signal, along with the other variables, are used by
the CPU to compute the concentration using the above formula.
Every 6 seconds the M450 completes a measurement cycle consisting of a 2 second wait
period for the sample tube to flush, followed by a 1 second measurement of the UV light
intensity to obtain I. The sample valve is switched to admit scrubbed sample gas for 2
seconds, followed by a 1 second measurement of the UV light intensity to obtain Io.
Measurement of the Io every 6 seconds minimizes instrument drift due to changing
intensity of the lamp due to aging and dirt.

1.7 Electrical and pneumatic connections
1.7.1 Analog Output
The analog output is a two pin connector on the rear panel (See Figure 1.6). The analog
output can be configured for voltage or current output. The standard is a 0-5 volt output.
0-100mV, 0-1V, 0-10V, and 4-20 mA outputs are also available. See Section 5.3 for
information on setting other output ranges.
1.7.2 Relay Outputs
Three form C relay outputs are provided on the rear panel on three pin connectors (See
Figure 1.6). These outputs correspond to the ‘HI’ and ‘HI-HI’ alarms for Stream 1 and a
System OK status output that is used to indicate a fault or error condition in the
instrument. The relay contacts are rated to 3A at 240VAC. Do not exceed these ratings
when connecting equipment to the instrument.
1.7.3 Digital Outputs
There are three sets of digital outputs on the rear panel. These outputs are optically
isolated NPN transistors which can pass 50 mA of DC current. These outputs can be
used to interface to devices that accept logic-level digital inputs, such as Programmable
Logic Controllers(PLC’s).
P/N 02395D1 Teledyne API Model 450 O3 Monitor Instruction Manual - Page 20
The outputs labeled ‘STATUS OUT’ are used to indicate instrument operational status
and fault conditions. The outputs labeled ‘CHANNEL ID’ are used to indicate which
channel(stream), the instrument is currently monitoring. The outputs labeled ‘ALARM
OUT’ are used to indicate the status of the HI and HI-HI alarms for each channel. Table
1.1 below summarizes the functions of all the digital outputs.

TABLE 1.1 DIGITAL OUTPUTS
Each digital output is configured as a Collector/Emitter pair. The rear panel labels are
‘C’ and ‘E’ for these contacts, respectively. Figure 1.7 below shows the most common
way of connecting the digital outputs to an external device such as PLC. Note: Most
devices, such as PLC’s, have internal provision for limiting the current that the input will
draw from an external device. When connecting to a unit that does not have this feature,
external dropping resistors must be used to limit the current through the transistor output
to 50mA or less.
P/N 02395D1 Teledyne API Model 450 O3 Monitor Instruction Manual - Page 21
FIGURE 1.7 - CONNECTING DIGITAL OUTPUTS TO AN EXTERNAL DEVICE
1.7.4 RS232 Output
The RS232 output is provided on the 9-pin D-Sub connector shown in Figure 1.6. The
RS232 output can be connected to a computer or serial printer. The RS232 output can be
used to record alarm events with a time and date stamp or can be used to control the
instrument’s operation. Almost any function that can be done through the front panel
interface can also be done remotely through the RS232 interface.
To use the RS232 for instrument control, all that is needed is a PC(personal computer)
with an available serial communications port(COM port), a serial cable, and terminal
emulation software. The serial cable must have a female DB-9 connector on one end and
an appropriate connector on the other end to interface with the COM port on a PC.
For more details on the use of the RS232 interface, please contact Teledyne API and
request document number 01350.
1.7.5 Pneumatic system
Figure 1.8 shows a block diagram of the M450 pneumatic system. The Model 450 is
equipped with a vacuum pump that pulls the sample gas through the instrument. The
sample flow is set using the needle valve located on the front panel flowmeter. The
sample flow should be 1-2.5 L/min. A sample flow of less than 1 L/min will result in
inaccurate ozone measurement.
P/N 02395D1 Teledyne API Model 450 O3 Monitor Instruction Manual - Page 22
FIGURE 1.8 - FLOW DIAGRAM
1.7.6 Sample gas connection
1/4" O.D. PTFE or FEP (Teflon) tubing is needed to connect the sample source to the
monitor. Any fittings used in the sample lines should be constructed of stainless steel or
PTFE.
Teledyne API recommends that the length of tubing connecting the sample points to the
monitor should be kept to 100 feet or less. When running long sample lines, maintaining
a high sample flow near 2 L/min will aid in reducing ozone loss in these lines. If more
than 100 feet of sample line must be used, check to make sure that the pressure drop
between the sampling point and the monitor be kept to 5 in-Hg or less. This can be
measured by observing the Sample Pressure test function on the front panel of the
instrument with the sample line connected at the rear panel and with the sample line
disconnected. The difference between the two pressures is approximately equal to the
pressure drop in the sample line.
NOTE
For the sampling lines, use only ¼” O.D. PTFE or FEP tubing. The tubing must be pre-
conditioned to ozone prior to installation to minimize ozone loss in the sampling lines.
Pre-conditioned ¼” FEP tubing is available from Teledyne API (Part number 02639)
Provision should be made for keeping dust and other particulate matter out of the
monitor. As an option, the monitor may be configured with a PTFE particulate filter
downstream of the stream selector manifold. In addition to this, in-line filters should be
installed in the sample lines for each stream. To avoid dust build up in the sample lines,
these filters should be placed at the inlet end of the sampling line. These filters should be
P/N 02395D1 Teledyne API Model 450 O3 Monitor Instruction Manual - Page 23
constructed of PTFE or other inert material to avoid degradation of the ozone
concentration. Contact Teledyne API’s sales department for additional information on
particulate filters.
Care must be taken in the design of the sampling system to ensure that water vapor does
not condense in the sampling lines or in the instrument itself. The sample lines should be
routed to avoid large temperature gradients along the lines. If sample is brought in from
a hot, humid area into a much cooler area, then low power heating tape should be
wrapped around the lines to keep the temperature of the sample lines up and avoid
condensation. The lines should also not have loops or low points where water could
collect.
For applications that require sampling of very humid gas, a Sample Conditioner may be
required to lower sample gas humidity. Please contact the Teledyne API Sales
Department for additional information.
1.7.7 Exhaust connections
A single 1/4" O.D. tube should be connected from the Monitor sample exhaust to an area
outside of the room the monitor occupies. The maximum length of the exhaust line
should not exceed 30 feet.

1.8 Options
1.8.1 Stream Selector (3 or 6 Channel)
This option allows the M450 to measure ozone at up to six different sampling points by
using an internal stream selector. 3 or 6 channel stream selectors are available. This
option includes digital outputs for HI and HI-HI alarms and a channel ID for each
channel in the stream selector.
1.8.2 Sample Filter
This option consists of a 47mm diameter PTFE particulate filter inside the instrument. In
instruments with the stream selector option, this filter is placed immediately downstream
of the stream selector. The filter can be easily accessed through the front of the
instrument by folding down the hinged front panel. No tools are necessary to change the
filter element.
1.8.3 Flow Switch
This option is an on/off type flow switch that is used to send a signal to the CPU in case
the flow drops below the minimum required for proper operation of the instrument. In
case of flow failure, the instrument will issue a warning on the front panel and will turn
off the System OK relay, indicating an instrument error.
1.8.4 Isolated Current Output(4-20mA)
This option converts the M450’s voltage output to an isolated 4-20mA driver with an
integral loop power supply. When connecting to the current output, ensure that the
maximum voltage between the outputs and ground is 60V peak.
1.8.5 Rack mount with slides
This option, including slides and rack mounting ears, permits the Monitor to be mounted
in a standard 19" wide x 30" deep RETMA rack.

2.0 OPERATION
2.1 Key features
The important features of the Teledyne API Model 450 O3 Monitor are listed below.
2.1.1 O3 readout
The Teledyne API Model 450 O3 Monitor constantly displays the current ozone reading
(in units specified) in the upper right hand corner of the alphanumeric display.
If a multi-channel option has been installed, the reading represents the ozone
concentration for the stream currently being monitored. The last concentration
measurement for the other channels can be viewed by scrolling through the Test
functions (See Section 2.2.)
2.1.2 Stream Selector (Optional)
As an option, the Model 450 can be equipped to sequentially monitor up to 6 separate
sample streams. The monitoring duration for each stream as well as the sequence order
can be configured by the user through the front panel software. See Sections 3.1 and 3.2
for stream and configuration sequencing.
2.1.3 Concentration Alarms
The Teledyne API O3 Monitor provides two concentration alarms, HI and HI-HI, per
sample stream. The concentrations corresponding to each alarm levels can be
independently configured for each sample stream. In addition, the alarms can operate in
either latching or non-latching modes.
2.1.4 O3 analog output
The Teledyne API O3 Monitor provides an analog output of the current O3 reading on
the rear panel (see Figure 1.6). The output can be configured for 0-100mV, 0-1V, 0-5V,
0-10V or 4-20mA non-isolated current output. Isolated 4-20mA or 2-20mA current
output is available as an option. The voltage outputs are bi-polar and also provide for
20% over-range.
2.1.5 E2 ROM backup of software configuration
The Teledyne API O3 Monitor has few DIP switches or jumpers that need to be set by
the operator. Configuration of the Monitor is done under software control and the
configuration options are stored in electrically erasable (E
options are saved even when the Monitor is powered off.

There is one exception to this. The analog output voltage range is set by DIP Switches
A
on the A/D-I/O board as shown in Section 5.3.
2.1.6 RS-232 interface
The Teledyne API O3 Monitor features an RS-232 interface which can output the
instantaneous and/or average O3 data to another computer. It can also be used as a
command and status channel to allow a computer to control the Monitor.
2.2 Front Panel Display
This section describes the operator interface from the point of view of the front panel.
The front panel consists of a 2-line by 40-character alphanumeric display, 8 pushbuttons,
and 3 status LED’s. Each of these features is described below.
2.2.1 Front panel display fields
The display is divided into 4 main "fields": the Mode field in the upper left, the
Message/Test Function field in the top center, the ozone Concentration field consisting
of the most recent instantaneous ozone value field in the upper right, and the Menu field
which occupies the entire bottom line of the display. The Menu field is used to define the
function of the 8 buttons directly below the display. The buttons are then used for
selecting menu items and are also used for entering values such as alarm levels. A
typical display is shown in Figure 2.1.

2.3 Software Operation
This section describes the operation of the instrument software through the front panel
interface described in the previous section. The instrument software has been designed to
be easy to use, yet powerful enough to allow the user to customize the instrument for a
particular application.

messages are still in effect, the warning messages will re-appear after they have been
cleared.
The ALRM button is displayed when concentration alarms have been triggered. See
Section 2.3.3 for operation of the Alarm menu.
The MODE button will toggle the instrument between Auto and Manual modes. The
current mode is shown in the upper left-hand corner of the display. In Auto mode, the
instrument will continuously cycle through a user defined sequence of streams(See
Section 3.2 for sequence configuration.) When the instrument is in manual mode, it will
hold on a particular stream being measured until the user switches back to Auto mode or
manually switches to a different stream. Figure 2.3 below shows the main menu when
the instrument is in Manual mode.

in the mode display in the upper left-hand corner of the display. The instrument will hold
and monitor this stream until the user places the instrument into Auto mode or manually
switches to another stream by pressing the STRM button again.
Pressing MODE will toggle the instrument back to Auto mode and the automatic
sequence will resume.
2.3.2 Multi-Stream Operation
This section describes the operation of the Multi-Stream M450 in automatic sequence
mode (AUTO.) In this mode the monitor is designed to continuously cycle through a
user-defined sequence of sampling points. This cycling is accomplished by activating
valves on the stream selector manifold on the rear panel to admit sample gas for a
particular stream.
When the M450 first switches to a new sample stream, the instrument goes through a 30
second dwell phase where sample gas is pulled from the new sample stream but no
readings are taken. The purpose of this dwell phase is to purge out any “old” sample gas
P/N 02395D1 Teledyne API Model 450 O3 Monitor Instruction Manual - Page 36
that has been sitting in the sample line while that stream was inactive. During the dwell
phase the Concentration field on the display (see Figure 2.1) will blink and the
instrument will display the last concentration recorded for that stream. After the 30
seconds has elapsed, the concentration field will stop blinking and the current
concentration will be displayed. The current stream will now be monitored for the rest of
the Monitoring Duration that has been set for that stream (see Section 3.2 for details on
configuring the individual streams.) The actual time period that the stream is measured is
the Monitoring Duration minus the 30-second dwell. So a 1-minute Monitoring Duration
consists of 30 seconds of dwell followed by 30 seconds of measurement.
For systems that do not require a 30 second dwell between streams, this value can be
changed. Please consult Teledyne API Customer Service for instructions on how to do
this.
2.3.3 Alarm Status Menu
Pressing the ALRM button from the main menu when alarms have been triggered will
bring up the alarm status menu as shown below in Figure 2.4.

If the monitor is configured for Latching type alarms, then a CLR button will appear
below each stream with an active alarm. Pressing the CLR button will clear the alarm
P/N 02395D1 Teledyne API Model 450 O3 Monitor Instruction Manual - Page 37
condition, provided that the concentration for that stream has dropped below the alarm
threshold.
If the monitor is configured for Non-Latching alarms, the CLR button will not appear,
and all alarms will automatically clear when the concentration drops below the alarm
threshold.
Audible Beeper
An audible beeper is sounded when any alarm is activated. A slow beep indicates that
one ore more ‘HI’ alarms has been triggered, and a fast beep indicates that one or more
‘HI-HI’ alarms has been triggered. Pressing the BEEP button from the alarm menu will
silence the audible beeper for 5 minutes. Note: Pressing the BEEP button does not clear
any of the alarms, it simply silences the audible alarm. If the alarms are not cleared, the
audible alarm will automatically resume in 5 minutes.
See Sections 3.2 and 3.6 for details on configuring concentration alarms.

3.1 Configuring Auto Sequence (SEQ)
The automatic sequence determines the monitoring order for the streams in a multistream instrument. The default setting for a six channel instrument is 1-2-3-4-5-6. With
this setting the instrument will cycle through all six channels in numerical order and loop
back to the beginning when the cycle is complete. This sequence can be modified,
however, to cycle through the channels in any order desired. The sequence can also be
modified to monitor certain streams more often than others, 1-2-1-3-1-4-1-5-1-6 for
example.
To modify the auto sequence, press SEQ from the setup menu. The sequence editing
screen is shown in Figure 3.2 below.

ANA. OUT RANGE: 1.000 PPM
This is the analog output range setting. This is the concentration level that will
correspond to a full scale voltage or current(4-20mA) output at the instrument’s analog
output on the rear panel. Edit this value and press ENTR. The next prompt is:
MONITOR DUR.: 10.00 Minutes
This prompt sets the monitoring duration for a particular stream. The monitoring
duration includes a 30-second purge cycle at the beginning of each measurement. During
the purge cycle, the monitor takes no readings. Therefore, for a monitoring duration of
10 minutes, the instrument will purge for 30 seconds and then take readings for the next 9
minutes, 30 seconds before switching to the next stream in the sequence.
Pressing ENTR takes you back to the main stream configuration menu shown in Figure

This variable sets the operation of the concentration alarms to either latched or nonlatched mode. In latched mode, when a concentration alarm is triggered, the alarm will
stay on, or latch, until the user resets the alarm through the ALRM menu on the front
panel. When the alarms are set to non-latching mode(LATCH_ALARMS = OFF) the
alarms will automatically turn off when the concentration drops back below the alarm
threshold value.
P/N 02395D1 Teledyne API Model 450 O3 Monitor Instruction Manual - Page 43
1) ALARM_BEEPER
This variable enables or disables the audible beeper that sounds whenever one of the
alarms has been triggered. The beeper sounds a slow beep if any of the ‘HI’ alarms are
active and sounds a fast beep if any of the ‘HI-HI’ alarms are active.
2) ANA_OUTPUT_MODE
This variable sets the Analog Output Mode for the Model 550 relay box accessory, if this

4.0 Maintenance
4.1 Replacing the sample filter element
If your Model 450 has been equipped with an internal or external sample filter, the
Teflon filter elements must be replaced on a regular basis to ensure accurate readings
from the M450. The frequency of this operation will be determined by the particulate
loading from the air being sampled and will vary greatly from location to location. When
the instrument is first installed, the sample filters should be checked at least once a week
for dirt loading and replaced if necessary. Once the replacement frequency is
determined, a regular schedule for filter replacement should be instituted.
For replacement 47mm Teflon filter elements, please contact Teledyne API’s sales
department and request part number 00969.
Filter Replacement Procedure:
1. If the M450 has been equipped with an internal filter, access the filter by releasing the
two quick-release tabs near the top of the front panel. The front panel will now swing
down and the filter element can be viewed through the glass cover on the filter
assembly, which is located on the left hand side of the panel.
2. To replace the element, unscrew the black knurled ring over the glass cover and
carefully remove the glass cover and the white Teflon retaining ring over the element.
The element can now be removed and replaced.
1. Replace the Teflon retaining ring and glass cover. Note: When re-installing the
Teflon retaining ring, make sure the notches in the ring are visible and facing up
towards the glass cover.
NOTE
Take care when handling the filter element and the sample filter parts that
they are not contaminated with oil from your fingers or other sources. Even
a small amount of oil on the wetted surfaces can cause the instrument to
respond very slowly to ozone. Clean gloves or tweezers should be used to
handle the clean filter elements.
2. Screw the black ring onto the glass cover. The ring should be screwed to a snug
position by hand, no tool should ever be used for installing the knurled ring.

4.2 Cleaning Exterior Surfaces of the M450
If necessary, the front panel mask and keyboard of the M450 can be cleaned with a damp
cloth. Do not attempt to clean any of the other surfaces of the instrument. Do not
submerge any part of the instrument in water or cleaning solution.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. THE OPERATIONS
OUTLINED IN THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS OF THIS
CHAPTER ARE TO BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED
MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL ONLY!
5.1 Calibration
The Model 450 is calibrated to NIST traceable standards on the 0-1 ppm range prior to
shipment. A calibration certificate for your instrument can be purchased from Teledyne
API if required. Teledyne API also recommends that the Model 450 be re-calibrated
once a year. Teledyne API can provide NIST traceable calibration services at our factory
or on-site. Please contact our Customer Service department for details on these services.
5.2 Adjusting UV lamp and detector
Basic operation of the source lamp and detector can be determined by observing the
value of the O3 REF test function. After the analyzer is warmed-up (15 min. to 30 min.
after power-on), this value will give a good indication of the state of Lamp and Detector
operation as follows:

TABLE 4.1 UV SOURCE LAMP AND DETECTOR DIAGNOSTICS
Adjustment required or Adjustment useful:
The first adjustment that should be made is to adjust the gain on the UV Detector
Preamp. The adjustment for the preamp is located through the preamp cover at the front
of the optical bench (See Figure 4.1). The preamp should be adjusted to 4500 mV +/100mV.
If the preamp cannot be adjusted to achieve this value, additional adjustment can be made
by rotating the lamp inside the lamp housing at the rear of the optical bench(See Figure
1.9.) To adjust the lamp, loosen the lamp set-screw on the top of the optical bench and
slowly rotate the lamp while observing the O3 REF value. Re-tighten the lamp setscrew.
FIGURE 4.1 - DETECTOR PREAMP ADJUSTMENT
P/N 02395D1 Teledyne API Model 450 O3 Monitor Instruction Manual - Page 48
If it is not possible to achieve an acceptable O3 REF test Value by means of adjustment,
it is possible that the lamp has deteriorated beyond its useful range and should be
replaced.
Lamp or Detector Failure:
WARNING
UV LIGHT PRESENT
DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE UV LAMP SINCE UV
LIGHT COULD CAUSE EYE DAMAGE. ALAWYS USE UV
FILTERING GLASSES OR VIEW THROUGH GLASS.
A O3 REF value of approximately 125 mV usually indicates a total failure of either the
source lamp or the detector. To determine which component is at fault, remove the top
cover of the optical bench and observe the "lamp end" of the glass absorption tube. If a
blue-white light is visible, the lamp is operating and the detector is at fault and should be
replaced. If no light is visible, the UV lamp should be replaced. Please contact Teledyne
API for obtaining replacement parts.
NOTE
In cold ambient conditions, it may require 5 to 15 minutes of
warm-up before the source lamp initially fires. Be sure to wait for
this period before troubleshooting the lamp/detector.
5.3 Changing the analog output range
5.3.1 Voltage output
Output voltage ranges are set by DIP switches on the V/F board. To change the range for
the analog output:
1. Turn off instrument power
near the front of the analyzer using Figure 1.9.
