Important Notice
This instrument provides measurement readings to its user, and serves as a tool by which valuable data can be
gathered. The information provided by the instrument may assist the user in eliminating potential hazards caused
by his process; however, it is essential that all personnel involved in the use of the instrument or its interface be
properly trained in the process being measured, as well as all instrumentation related to it.
The safety of personnel is ultimately the responsibility of those who control process conditions. While this
instrument may be able to provide early warning of imminent danger, it has no control over process conditions,
and it can be misused. In particular, any alarm or control systems installed must be tested and understood, both
as to how they operate and as to how they can be defeated. Any safeguards required such as locks, labels, or
redundancy, must be provided by the user or specifically requested of Teledyne at the time the order is placed.
Therefore, the purchaser must be aware of the hazardous process conditions. The purchaser is responsible for
the training of personnel, for providing hazard warning methods and instrumentation per the appropriate
standards, and for ensuring that hazard warning devices and instrumentation are maintained and operated
properly.
Teledyne Analytical Instruments, the manufacturer of this instrument, cannot accept responsibility for
conditions beyond its knowledge and control. No statement expressed or implied by this document or any
information disseminated by the manufacturer or its agents, is to be construed as a warranty of adequate safety
control under the user’s process conditions.

Model 9110TH NOx Analyzer Introduction
1. INTRODUCTION, FEATURES AND OPTIONS
1.1. OVERVIEW
The Model 9110T Nitrogen Oxides Analyzer uses chemiluminescence detection, coupled with
state-of-the-art microprocessor technology to provide the sensitivity, stability and ease of use
needed for ambient or dilution CEM monitoring requirements of nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen
dioxide (NO2) and the total nitrogen oxides (NOx). The instrument:
Calculates the amount of NO present by measuring the amount of chemiluminescence given off
when the sample gas is exposed to ozone (O3).
Uses a catalytic-reactive converter to convert any NO2 in the sample gas to NO, which is then
measured as above (including the original NO in the sample gas) and reported as NOx.
Since the density of the sample gas effects the brightness of the chemiluminescence reaction, the 9110T
software compensates for temperature and pressure changes.
Stability is further enhanced by an Auto-Zero feature which periodically redirects the gas flow through
the analyzer so that no chemiluminescence reaction is present in the sample chamber. The analyzer
measures this “dark” condition and uses the results as an offset, which is subtracted from the sensor
readings recorded while the instrument is measuring NO and NO
and dependable performance under the harshest operating conditions.
. The result gives a sensitive, accurate,
X
The 9110T analyzer’s multi-tasking software gives the ability to track and report a large number of
operational parameters in real time. These readings are compared to diagnostic limits kept in the
analyzers memory and should any fall outside of those limits the analyzer issues automatic warnings.
Built-in data acquisition capability, using the analyzer's internal memory, allows the logging of multiple
parameters including averaged or instantaneous concentration values, calibration data, and operating
parameters such as pressure and flow rate. Stored data are easily retrieved through the rear panel serial
or Ethernet ports via our APICOM software or from the front panel, allowing operators to perform
predictive diagnostics and enhanced data analysis by tracking parameter trends. Multiple averaging
periods of one minute to 365 days are available for over a period of one year.

Four (4) “dry contact” relays on the rear panel of the instrument. This
relay option is different from and in addition to the “Contact Closures”
that come standard on all TAPI instruments.
Multidrop card seated on the analyzer’s CPU card.
Each instrument in the multidrop network requres this card and a
communications cable (Option 60B).
Maintenance Mode Switch, located inside the instrument, places
the analyzer in maintenance mode where it can continue sampling,
yet ignore calibration, diagnostic, and reset instrument commands.
This feature is of particular use for instruments connected to
Multidrop or Hessen protocol networks.
Call Customer Service for activation.
Second Language Switch activates an alternate set of display
messages in a language other than the instrument’s default
language.
Call Customer Service for a specially programmed Disk on Module containing
the second language.
Dilution Ratio Option allows the user to compensate for diluted
sample gas, such as in continuous emission monitoring (CEM) 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.
