3.3 Initial Operation
With the following exceptions, the operation of the 6400EH is
nearly identical to that of the 6400E. Please refer to the 6400E User’s
Manual, Chapter 3, for details on initial operation, including common
warning messages, functional checkout of the instrument, initial
calibration and common interferents for the 6400EH.
3.3.1 Warning Messages
Please refer to the 6400E User’s Manual, Chapter 3, for a complete
listing of warnings for the 6400EH. The following table lists warnings
that differ in the 6400EH from those described in the 6400E manual.
Table 3-2: Possible Warning Messages at Start-Up
MESSAGE MEANING
Vacuum Pressure Warning
The vacuum pressure reading is out of it’s allowed range. The pump
may have failed, or the instrument may have a leak or obstruction in
the flow path.
3.3.2 Test Functions
Check to make sure that the analyzer is functioning within
allowable operating parameters As described in Section 3.2.4 of the
6400E Manual (P/N 04515). The available test functions for the 6400EH
is shown in Figure 3-5.
3.3.3 Interferents for SO
2 Measurements
Hydrocarbons are a significant interferent for UV fluorescent SO2
measurements, however, the typical 6400EH application does not have
hydrocarbons in the sample stream. Therefore, in order to reduce cost to
the customer, the 6400EH in its standard configuration does not include
a hydrocarbon kicker/scrubber.
If your application includes hydrocarbons in the sample gas stream,
it is very important that they be removed from the sample gas prior to
them entering the analyzer’s sample chamber. A hydrocarbon Kicker
Option (OPT 65) package (see Section 5 below) is available for this
purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does the sample pump last?
A: The sample pump should last about one year and the pump
diaphragms should to be replaced annually or when
necessary.

listed in Chapter 5 of the 6400E Manual are also available for the
6400EH.
5.1 Zero/Span Valves (Option 50)
The 6400EH zero/span valve option is identical to that of the
6400E in respect to operation and valve states (see Table 5-1 of the
6400E Manual). The internal pneumatic connections are slightly
different.

5.2 Internal Zero/Span Gas Generator (Option 51)
The IZS valve option (OPT 51) is not available for the 6400EH.
5.3 Zero and Two Span Point Valve Option (OPT 52)
This option includes a special set of valves that allows two separate
SO
mixtures to enter the analyzer from two independent sources.
2
Typically these two gas mixtures will come from two, separate,
pressurized bottles of certified calibration gas: one mixed to produce a
SO2 concentration equal to the expected span calibration value for the
application and the other mixed to produce a concentration at or near the
midpoint of the intended measurement range. Individual gas inlets,
labeled HIGH SPAN and LOW SPAN are provided at the back on the
analyzer.
The valves allow the user to switch between the two sources via
keys on the front panel or from a remote location by way of either the
analyzer’s digital control inputs or by sending commands over it’s serial
I/O port(s). The pneumatic diagram for instruments with the zero and
two span point valve option (OPT 52) is shown in Figure 5-2.
Note: The analyzer’s software only allows the SLOPE and
OFFSET to be calculated when sample is being
routed through the HIGH SPAN inlet.
The LOW SPAN gas is for midpoint reference checks only.

5.4 Hydrocarbon Kicker Option (OPT 65)
This option is specifically designed for those applications where
hydrocarbons are present in the sample gas stream. It includes an
internal, scrubber consisting of a tube of a specialized plastic that
absorbs hydrocarbons very well located within an outer flexible plastic
tube shell.
As gas flows through the inner tube, hydrocarbons are absorbed
into the membrane walls and transported through the membrane wall and
into the hydrocarbon free, purge gas flowing through the outer tube (see
Figure 5-3). This process is driven by the hydrocarbon concentration
gradient between the inner and outer of the tubes.
The scrubbed air from the inner tube is returned to be used as the
purge gas in the outer tube after it passes through the analyzers reaction
cell. This means that when the analyzer is first started, the concentration
gradient between the inner and outer tubes is small and the scrubber’s
efficiency is relatively low. When the instrument is turned on after
having been off for more than 30 minutes, it takes a certain amount of
time for the gradient to become large enough for the scrubber to
adequately remove hydrocarbons from the sample air.

Calibration procedures for the 6400EH are the same as those for the
6400E. One exception to this statement is that the 6400EH has a special
valve option, Zero and Two Span Point Valve Option - OPT 52 (See
Section 5.1), that allows a mid-span point be checked.
7.1 Manual Calibration with the Zero and Two Span
Point Valve Option (OPT 52) installed
Note: It is only possible to calibrate to the high span gas. The low
span gas is only used for calibration checks.
Zero and Span calibrations using the Zero and two Span Valve
option are similar to that described in Section 7.2, except that:
Zero air and both span gas is supplied to the analyzer through the
zero gas and span gas inlets rather than through the sample inlet.
The zero and cal operations are initiated directly and
independently with dedicated keys (CALZ& CALS)
STEP ONE: Connect the sources of zero air and span gas to the
respective ports on the rear panel (see Figure 3-2 of this manual).
STEP TWO: Set the expected SO
high span gas value:

There is no Internal IZS offered for the 6400EH.
8.2 Predictive Diagnostics
Because the 6400EH’s internal pneumatics are monitored in a
different manner than those of the 6400E there are some differences in
how the instruments test functions are used as predictive diagnostics.

9.1 The UV Light Path
The UV light path of the 6400EH is similar to that of the 6400E
(see Section 10.2 of the 6400E Manual). The main differences between
the 6400EH and the 6400E are:
The location of the reference detector (See Section 9.1.1 of this
addendum).
The methods used to reject for certain measurement interferents is
different (see Section 9.1.2 of this manual).
Figure 9-1: UV Light Path
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 37
Page 50
Theory of Operation Model 6400EH
9.1.1 The Reference Detector
A vacuum diode UV detector that converts UV light to a DC
current is used to measure the intensity of the excitation UV source
lamp. The location of the 6400EH reference detector differs from that of
the 6400E.
On the 6400E this detector is located directly across the reaction cell
from the lamp where it can measure the output of the lamp
directly. Because the 6400E is designed to measure relatively
low concentrations of SO
, enough of the lamp’s 214 nm source
2
light makes it through the reaction cell to get a reliable reading.
On the 6400EH the detector is located between the UV lamp and the
reaction cell and to the side. A beam splitter reflects a portion of
the lamp output 90 degrees, through a window and onto the
detector. This arrangement is required because nearly all of 214
nm UV source light entering the reaction cell is absorbed by the
higher concentrations of SO2 typically measured by the 6400EH.
A window transparent to UV light provides an air-proof seal that
prevents ambient gas from contaminating the sample chamber.
9.1.2 Direct Measurement Interferences
The most common source of interference when measuring SO2 is
from other gases that fluoresce in a similar fashion to SO2 when exposed
to UV Light. The most significant of these are:
A class of hydrocarbons called poly-nuclear aromatics (PNA) of
which xylene and naphthalene are two prominent examples.
Nitric oxide (NO), which fluoresces in a spectral range near to SO
.
2
For critical applications where high levels of NO are expected an
optional 360 nm optical filter is available that improves the rejection
of NO (contact customer service for more information).
The methods by which the Model 6400EH rejects interference for
these substances differs from the M1 00E as follows.
Since the typical application for which the 6400EH rarely includes
the presences of hydrocarbons or PNA’s, no hydrocarbon scrubber
(kicker) is included in the 6400EH’s base configuration. An
optional scrubber (see Section 5.4 of this manual is available).
Teledyne Analytical Instruments38
Page 51
UV Fluorescence SO2 Analyzer Theory of Operation
On the other hand the typical 6400EH application often includes
much higher concentrations of Nitric Oxide (NO), which
fluoresces in a spectral range near that of SO
. Therefore a 360
2
nm filter replaces the 330nm UV filter located between the PMT
and the reaction cell in order to more efficiently reject for
interference due to the higher concentrations of NO.
9.2 Pneumatic Operation
9.2.1 Sample Gas Flow
The flow of gas through the 6400EH UV Fluorescence SO
2
Analyzer is created by a small external pump that pulls air through the
instrument. The 6400EH has no kicker to scrub hydrocarbons from the
sample stream. Typical applications for the 6400EH do not have
hydrocarbons in the sample stream.

Configuration

Theory of Operation Model 6400EH
9.2.2 Pneumatic Sensors
The 6400EH uses two pneumatic sensors to verify gas flow. These
sensors are located on a printed circuit assembly, called the pneumatic
pressure/flow sensor board. This PCA is attached to a manifold
containing the critical flow orifice that sets the instrument flow rate.
9.2.2.1SAMPLE PRESSURE SENSOR
An absolute pressure transducer plumbed to the input of the
analyzer’s sample chamber is used to measure the pressure of the sample
gas before it passes through the critical flow orifice. This is used to
validate the critical flow condition (2:1 pressure ratio) through the
instrument’s critical flow orifice.
The actual sample gas pressure measurement is viewable through
the analyzer’s front panel display as the test function PRES.
9.2.2.2VACUUM PRESSURE SENSOR
An absolute pressure transducer measures the pressure on the
vacuum side of the critical flow orifice and is used to measure the
sample gas pressure in the reaction cell. If the vacuum pressure is not in
the correct range, a warning will be displayed by the software. Also, if
the temperature/pressure compensation (TPC) feature is turned on, the
output of this sensor is also used to supply pressure data for that
calculation.
The actual pressure of the gas downstream from the critical flow
orifice (including the gas inside the reaction cell) viewable through the
analyzer’s front panel display as the test function

VAC.
Unlike the 6400E, which uses a thermal-mass flow sensor to
directly measure the gas flow though the instrument, the 6400EH
calculates the gas as follows.
The ratio of the two pressures is measured and used to validate
critical flow. If the ratio is not correct (< 2:1) the

If the pressure ratio between the two sensors is valid (≥ 2:1), the

If you suspect that one of the two pressure sensors is failing:
1. Cap the sample inlet.
2. After a few seconds, check the
VAC and PRES test functions and
verify that:
The VAC value matches the PRES value to within 1 In-Hg-A,
and;
Both are less than 10 in-Hg-A (i.e. under vacuum).
3. Uncap the sample inlet and unplug the pump.
4. After a few minutes, the value VAC and PRES should match
within 1 In-Hg-A, and read atmospheric pressure.

10.3.1 Repairing the Sample Gas Flow Control Assembly
The Critical Flow Orifice is part of the pressure sensor and flow
control assembly. The jewel orifice is protected by a sintered filter, so it
is unusual for the orifice to need replacing, but it is possible for the
sintered filter and o-rings to need replacing. See the Spare Parts list in
Appendix B for part numbers and kits.
To replace the filter and/or orifice
1. Turn off Power to the analyzer.
2. Locate the pressure sensor / flow control assembly.
3. Disconnect the signal cable and pneumatic fittings.
4. Remove the assembly from the optical bench by removing the 2
screws at each end of the assembly.
5. The inlet end of the assembly is located at the end with the
straight pneumatic fitting. Remove the fitting and the
components as shown in the exploded view.
6. Replace the o-rings (p/n:OR01) and the sintered filter (p/n:
FL01).
Teledyne Analytical Instruments44

7. if you are replacing the Critical Flow Orifice itself
(p/n:00094100), make sure that the side with the colored window
(usually RED) is facing upstream to the flow gas flow.
8. Re-assemble in reverse order. See the Spares List in Appendix B
for part numbers.
9. After re-connecting the power and pneumatic lines, flow check
the instrument as described in the Section 11.5.2 of the 6400E
Operator’s Manual.

10.3.2 Sensor Module Repair & Cleaning
Note: After any repair or service has been performed on the
sensor module, the 6400EH should be allowed to warm up
for 60 minutes.
Always perform a leak check (See Section 11.5.1) and
calibrate the analyzer (see Chapter 7)
before placing it back in service.
The most significant difference between the 6400E sensor module
and the 6400EH sensor module is the location of the reference detector.
Therefore most of the procedures described in Section 11.6.3 apply to
the 6400EH as well.
Exceptions are noted below:

10.3.2.1ADJUSTING THE UVLAMP (PEAKING THE LAMP)
There are three ways in which ambient conditions can effect the
UV Lamp output and therefore the accuracy of the SO2 concentration
measurement. These are:
Line Voltage Change: UV lamp energy is directly proportional to the
line voltage. This can be avoided by installing adequate AC Line
conditioning equipment such as a UPS/surge suppressor.
Lamp Aging - Over a period of months, the UV energy will show a
downward trend, usually 30% in the first 90 days, and then a slower rate,
until the end of useful life of the lamp. Periodically running the UV
lamp calibration routine (see Section 6.9.7) will compensate for this
until the lamp output becomes too low to function at all.
Lamp Positioning – The UV output level of the lamp is not even across
the entire length of the lamp. Some portions of the lamp shine slightly
more brightly than others. At the factory the position of the UV lamp is
adjusted to optimize the amount of UV light shining through the UV
filter/lens and into the reaction cell. Changes to the physical alignment
of the lamp can affect the analyzers ability to accurately measure SO2.

3. While watching the UVLAMP_SIGNAL reading, slowly rotate the
lamp or move it back and forth vertically until the
UVLAMP_SIGNAL reading is at its maximum.
DO NOT grasp the UV lamp by its cap when changing its
position (see Figure 10-3). Always grasp the main body of
the lamp.

1. Set the instrument reporting range type to SNGL (see Section
6.7.4 of the 6400E Manual)
2. Perform a zero–point calibration using zero air (see Chapter 7 of
the 6400E Manual).
3. Let the instrument stabilize by allowing it to run for one hour.
4. Adjust the UV Lamp. (See Section 10.3.2.1 of this manual)
5. Perform a LAMP CALIBRATION procedure (see Section 6.9.7 of
the 6400E Manual).
6. Locate the Preamp board (see Figure 3-4 of this manual).
7. Locate the Following Components On the Preamp board (see
Figure 10-5 of this manual):
HVPS coarse adjustment switch (Range 0-9, then A-F)
HVPS fine adjustment switch (Range 0-9, then A-F)
Gain adjustment potentiometer (Full scale is 10 to 12 turns).
8. Set the
Teledyne Analytical Instruments50
HVPS coarse adjustment to its minimum setting (0).
Page 63
UV Fluorescence SO2 Analyzer Troubleshooting
9. Set the HVPS fine adjustment switch to its maximum setting (F).
10. Turn the gain adjustment potentiometer clockwise to its
maximum setting.
11. Set the front panel display to show STABIL (see Section 6.2.1 of
the 6400E Manual)
12. Feed span gas into the analyzer.
13. Wait until the
STABIL value is below 0.5 ppm,
Note: Use a span gas equal to 80% of the reporting range.
Example: for a reporting range of 200 ppm, use a span gas
of 160 ppm.
14. Scroll to the OFFSET function and record the value.
15. Scroll to the NORM PMT value.
Note: Do not overload the PMT by accidentally setting both
adjustment switches to their maximum setting.
This can cause permanent damage to the PMT.
16. Determine the target NO RM PMT value according to the
following formulas.
If the reporting range is set for ≤ 500 ppm (the instrument
will be using the 500 ppm physical range):
Target NORM PMT = (8 x span gas concentration) + OFFSET
If the reporting range is set for ≥ 2,001 ppb (the instrument
will be using the 5,000 ppm physical range):
Target
NORM PMT = (0.8 x span gas concentration) + OFFSET
EXAMPLE
: If the OFFSET is 33 mV, the Reporting Range is
1000 ppm, the span gas should be 800 PPM SO2 and the
calculation would be:
Target
NORM PMT = (0.8 x 800) + 33 mV
Target NORM PMT = 640 + 33 mV
Target
NORM PMT = 673 mV
17. Set the HVPS coarse adjustment switch to the lowest setting that
will give you more than the target
NORM PMT signal from Step
16.
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 51
Page 64
Troubleshooting Model 6400EH
18. The coarse adjustment typically increments the NORM PMT
signal in 100-300 mV steps.
19. Adjust the HVPS fine adjustment such that the NORM PMT value
is at or just above the target NORM PMT signal from Step 16.
20. Continue adjusting the both the coarse and fine switches until
NORM PMT is as close to (but not below) the target NORM PMT
value from Step 16.
21. Adjust gain adjustment potentiometer until the NORM PMT value
is ±10 mV of the target level from Step 16.
22. Perform span calibration (see Chapter 7 of the 6400E Manual)
23. Scroll to the SLOPE function and record the value.
24. If the value of the SLOPE is between 0.900 and 1.100 the PMT
Hardware calibration is complete.
25. If the value of the SLOPE is less than 0.900 or greater than 1.100:
a. Multiply the slope value from step 22 by thenorm PMT
value from step 19.
b. Repeat steps 17 through 24 using this new value for NORM
