3.1. UNPACKING AND INITIAL SETUP

CAUTION
To avoid personal injury, always use two persons to lift and carry the Model T101.
CAUTION – Avoid Warranty Invalidation
Printed circuit assemblies (PCAs) are sensitive to electro-static discharges too small to be felt by the human nervous system. Damage resulting from failure to use ESD protection when working with electronic assemblies will void the instrument warranty.
See A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge in this manual for more information on preventing
ESD damage.
Remove dust plugs prior to operating instrument. It is recommended that you store shipping containers/materials, including shipping screws and dust plugs for the pneumatic ports, for future use if/when the instrument should be returned to the factory for repair and/or calibration service. See Warranty section in this manual and shipping procedures on our Website at
http://www.teledyne-api.com under Customer Support > Return Authorization.
1. Inspect the received packages for external shipping damage. If damaged, please advise the shipper first, then Teledyne API.
2. Included with your analyzer is a printed record (Form number 04551) of the final performance characterization performed on your instrument at the factory. This record is an important quality assurance and calibration record for this instrument. It should be placed in the quality records file for this instrument.

3.4. PNEUMATIC CONNECTIONS

CAUTION!
Do not operate this instrument until you’ve removed dust plugs from SAMPLE and EXHAUST ports on the rear panel. (Plugs were inserted into the rear panel pneumatic fittings to prevent dust from getting into the analyzer. It is recommended that these dust plugs be stored for future use such as shipping or storage.
Sample and calibration gases should only come into contact with PTFE (Teflon) or glass materials. They should not come in contact with FEP or stainless steel materials.

Page 45
Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Getting Started
07266B DCN6485
CAUTION
The exhaust from the external pump needs to be vented outside the immediate area or
shelter surrounding the instrument and conform to all safety requirements using a
maximum of 10 meters of 1/4” PTFE tubing.
2. Attach the sample line to the SAMPLE inlet port. Ideally, the pressure of
the sample gas should be equal to ambient atmospheric pressure.
NOTE
Maximum pressure of any gas at the sample inlet should not exceed 0.5 in-Hg above ambient pressure
and ideally should equal ambient atmospheric pressure.
In applications where the sample gas is received from a pressurized manifold, a vent must be provided to equalize the sample gas with ambient atmospheric pressure before it enters the analy zer. The v ented gas
needs to be routed outside the immediate area or shelter surrounding the instrument.
3. Attach zero air and span gas supply lines as appropriate (see Figures 3-6
& 3.7). For this type of analyzer, zero air and span gas are defined as follows:
Zero air and span gas inlets should supply their respective gases in excess of the 700 cc
3
/min demand of the analyzer. Supply and vent lines should be of sufficient length and diameter to prevent back diffusion and pressure effects.
SPAN GAS
Span gas is 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 H measurements made with the Model T101 UV Fluorescence H recommended that you use a span gas with a H
concentration equal to 90% of the

specifications (also referred to as SRM’s or EPA protocol calibration gases) are commercially available. Table 3-5 lists specific NIST-SRM reference numbers for various concentrations of H
S.
2
Some applications, such as EPA monitoring, require a multipoint calibration procedure where span gases of different concentrations are needed. We recommend using a bottle of calibrated H
S gas of higher concentration in conjunction with a gas dilution calibrator such
2
as a Teledyne API Model T700. This type of calibrator precisely mixes a high concentration gas from zero air (both supplied externally) to accurately produce span gas of the correct concentration. Linearity profiles can be automated with this model and run unattended over night.

IZS or external zero air scrubber option, it is capable of creating zero air.
For analyzers without these options, a zero air generator such as the Teledyne API Model
701 can be used.
Once the appropriate pneumatic connections have been made, check all pneumatic fittings for leaks using a procedure similar to that defined in Section 9.5.1.

zero air and a set of valves for switching between the sample gas inlet and the output of the zero/span subsystem, functionally very similar to the valves included in the zero/span valve option.
Sources of zero and span gas flow must be capable of supplying at least 600 cm Both supply lines should be vented outside of the analyzer’s enclosure. In order to prevent back-diffusion and pressure effects, these vent lines should be between 2 and 10 meters in length.
S perm tubes can be ordered from Teledyne API;

/min.
NOTE
The instrument can only be fitted with one type of permeation tube at a time. Therefore the IZS option can
only be used to calibrate or check the instrument for one gas, H2S or SO2, but not both.
External Zero Air Scrubber
The IZS option includes an external zero air scrubber assembly that removes all H2S the zero air source. The scrubber is filled with activated charcoal.
The Permeation Source
Span gas is created when zero air passes over a permeation tube containing liquid H2S under high pressure, which slowly permeates through a PTFE membrane into the surrounding air. The speed at which the H
S permeates the membrane is called the
2
effusion rate. The concentration of the span gas is determined by three factors: membrane size, sample gas temperature, and zero air flow rate
Size of the membrane: The larger the area of the membrane, the more permeation
occurs.

Page 50
Getting Started Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual
07266B DCN6485
Temperature of the H2S: Increasing the temperature of the increases the pressure inside
the tube and therefore increases the effusion rate.
Flow rate of the zero air: If the previous two variables are constant, the permeation rate
of the calibration gas into the zero air stream will be constant. Therefore, a lower flow rate of zero air produces higher concentrations of H
S. The T101 usually has a constant
2
flow rate and a constant permeation rate; hence, variations in concentration can be achieved by changing the IZS temperature.
NOTE
The permeation tube is not included in the IZS Option and must be ordered separately.
Permeation Tube Heater
In order to keep the permeation rate constant, the IZS enclosure is heated to a constant 50° C (10° above the maximum operating temperature of the instrument). The IZS heater is controlled by a precise PID (Proportional/Integral/Derivative) temperature control loop. A thermistor measures the actual temperature and reports it to the CPU for control feedback.

3.5. STARTUP, FUNCTIONAL CHECKS, AND INITIAL CALIBRATION

If you are unfamiliar with the T101 theory of operation, we recommend that you read Section 10 before proceeding.
For information on navi described in Appendix A.1.

3.5.1. STARTUP

After the electrical and pneumatic connections are made, an initial functional check is in order. Turn on the instrument. The pump and exhaust fan should start immediately. The front panel display screen will briefly show a logo splash screen at the start of initialization.
gating the analyzer’s software menus, see the menu trees
The analyzer should automatically switch to Sample Mode after completing the boot-up sequence and start monitoring H warm-up period before reliable gas measurements can be taken. During the warm-up period, the front panel display may show messages in the Parameters field.

3.5.2. WARM-UP

Allow a 60-minute warm-up period before collecting sample data.

3.5.3. WARNING MESSAGES

Because internal temperatures and other conditions may be outside of specified limits during the analyzer’s warm-up period, the software will suppress most warning conditions for 60 minutes after power up.

3.6.2. INTERFERENCES FOR H2S MEASUREMENTS

It should be noted that the fluorescence method for detecting H2S is subject to interference from a number of sources. Since the T101 converts H measures the UV fluorescence of the SO from other gases that fluoresce in a similar fashion to SO
, the most common source of interference is
2
, when exposed to UV Light
2
such poly-nuclear aromatics (PNA), of which certain hydrocarbons such as meta-xylene and naphthalene are the most pervasive. The T101 has been successfully tested for its ability to reject interference from most of these sources.
For a more detailed discussion of this topic, see Section 10.2.6.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The T101 is a micro-computer-controlled analyzer with a dynamic menu interface for easy and yet powerful and flexible operation. All major operations are controlled from the front panel touch screen control.
To assist in navigating the system’s software, a series of menu trees can be found in Appendix A of this manual.
NOTE
The ENTR button 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 a n
allowable value, the ENTR button will reappear.

4.1. OVERVIEW OF OPERATING MODES

The T101 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 H
concentration is displayed on the front panel 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 DAS system, the reporting
ranges, or the serial (RS-232/RS-485/Ethernet) communication channels. The SET UP
mode is also used for performing various diagnostic tests during troubleshooting.
The Mode field of the front panel display indicates to the user which operating mode the unit is currently running.
In addition to SAMPLE and SETUP, other modes the analyzer can be operated in are:

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 Sections 4.6.3.3 and 4.6.3.5).

AUTO mode, see section 4.4.4.6) or operate independently (IND mode, see Section
4.4.4.5) The user may also select between a variety of reporting range spans as well:
EXAMPLE:
A1 OUTPUT: Output Signal = 0-5 VDC representin

NOTE
On analyzers with the SO2-H2S multigas measurement option installed the outputs of A1
and A2 correspond to:
Output SO Channel Mode Mode Mode A1  SO2  SO2  H A2  SO2  H
As the instrument switches from H2S mode to SO2 mode and back, only the reporting range and analog

4.4.4.2. Physical Range versus Analog Output Reporting Ranges
The T101 UV Fluorescence H2S Analyzer has two hardware physical ranges that cover H
S concentrations between 0 and 20,000 ppb. The low range is 0 to 2,000 ppb, while the
2
high range is 0 to 20,000 ppb. The proper physical range is determined by the software to include the maximum measurement concentration selected by the user. Once properly calibrated, the analyzer’s front panel will accurately report concentrations along the entire span of its 0 and 20,000 ppb physical range.
Because, most applications use only a small part of the analyzer’s two physical ranges, the width of the Model T101’s physical range can create data resolution problems for most analog recording devices. For example, in an application where the expected concentration of SO only 0.25% of the instrument’s 20,000 ppb physical range. Unmodified, the corresponding output signal would also be recorded across only 0.25% of the range of the recording device.
The T101 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.

4.4.4.3. Reporting Range Modes
The T101 provides three analog output range modes to choose from. The actual signals output on the two analog signal channels depends on whether or not the analyzer includes a SO
Single range (SNGL) mode: This mode sets a single maximum range for

The default range mode for the analyzer is single range, in which all analog concentration outputs are set to the same reporting range. This reporting range can be set to any value between 5.0 ppb and 20 000 ppb.
While the two outputs always have the same reporting range, the span and scaling of their
electronic signals may also be configured for different differently (e.g., A1 = 0-10 V; A2

4.4.4.5. Independent Range Mode (IND)
Selecting independent range mode allows the A1 and A2 outputs to be configured with different measurement 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.
Also, in this mode the RANGE Test function displayed on the front panel during SAMPLE mode will be replaced by two separate functions, RANGE1 & RANGE2.

4.4.4.8. 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.
1. Select reporting range units: Follow the procedure in Section 4.4.4.7.
2. Select the range: Use the procedures in Section 4.4.4.3 – 4.4.4.6.
Make su 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 1 ppm gas can be used to calibrate a 100 ppm sample gas if the span gas is not routed through the dilution system. On the other hand, if a 100 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 diluent and 1 part of sample gas):

4.4.5. SETUP – PASS: PASSWORD PROTECTION

The menu system 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 (e.g., SETUP) is selected. This allows normal operation of the instrument, but requires the password (101) to access to the menus under SETUP. When PASSWORD is disabled (SETUP>OFF), any operator can enter the Primary Setup (SETUP) and Secondary Setup (SETUP>MORE) menus. Whether PASSWORD is enabled or disabled, a password (default 818) is required to enter the VARS or DIAG menus in the SETUP>MORE menu.

4.5.1. SETTING THE GAS MEASUREMENT MODE

If the switching valves software is activated, the T101 can be set to one of three gas measurement modes:
H2S
The sample gas stream is stripped of any ambient SO chemical scrubber, then passed through a catalytic converter that changes the H
S present into SO2 which is then measured using the UV
2
Fluorescence method
SO

4.6. SETUP – DIAG: USING THE DIAGNOSTICS
FUNCTIONS
A series of diagnostic tools is grouped together under the SETUPMOREDIAG
menu. As these parameters are dependent on firmware revision (see Menu Tree A-5 in Appendix A). The individual parameters, however, are explained in more detail in the following section, indicated in Table 4-8. These tools can be used in a variety of troubleshooti maintenance and trouble-shooting sections.
Table 4-8. T101 Diagnostic (DIAG) Functions
DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION AND MEANING
SIGNAL I/O: Allows observation of all digital and analog signals in the
instrument. Allows certain digital signals such as valves and heaters to be toggled ON and OFF.
ANALOG OUTPUT: When entered, the analyzer performs an analog output step test. This can be used to calibrate a chart recorder or to test the analog output accuracy.
ANALOG I/O CONFIGURATION: Analog input/output parameters are available for viewing and configuration.
OPTIC TEST When activated, the analyzer performs an optic test, which turns on an LED located inside the sensor module near the PMT (Fig. 10-
15). This diagnostic tests the response of the PMT without having to supply span gas.
ELECTRICAL TEST: When activated, the analyzer performs an electric test, which generates a current intended to simulate the PMT output to verify the signal handling and conditioning of the PMT preamp board.
LAMP CALIBRATION: The analyzer records the current voltage output of the UV source reference detector. This value is used by the CPU to calculate the lamp ration used in determining the H (see 10.2.2)
PRESSURE CALIBRATION: The analyzer records the current output of the sample gas pressure sensor. This value is used by the CPU to compensate the H
FLOW CALIBRATION: This function is used to calibrate the gas flow output signals of sample gas and ozone supply. These settings are retained when exiting DIAG.
TEST CHAN OUTPUT: Configures the A4 analog output channel. DIAG TCHN 4.6.9

4.6.2. ANALOG OUTPUT STEP TEST

This test can be used to check the accuracy and proper operation of the analog outputs. The test forces all four analog output channels to produce signals ranging from 0% to 100% of the full scale range in 20% increments. This test is useful to verify the operation of the data logging/recording devices attached to the analyzer.

4.6.3.2. Analog Output Calibration Mode
Analog output calibration should be carried out on first startup of the analyzer (performed in the factory as part of the configuration process) or whenever recalibration is required. The analog outputs can be calibrated automatically, either as a group or individually, or adjusted manually.
In its default mode, the instrument is configured for automatic calibration of all channels, which is useful for clearing any analog calibration warnings associated with channels that will not be used or connected to any input or recording device, e.g., datalogger.
Manual calibration should be used for the 0.1V range or in cases where the outputs must be closely matched to the characteristics of the recording device. Manual calibration requires the AUTOCAL feature to be disabled.
To calibrate the outputs as a group, activate the ANALOG I/O configuration menu (see Section 4.6.3), then press:

4.6.3.4. Analog Output Offset Adjust ment
Some analog signal recorders require that the zero signal is significantly different from the baseline of the recorder in order to record slightly negative readings from noise around the zero point. This can be achieved in the T101 by defining a zero offset, a small voltage (e.g., 10% of span), which can be added to the signal of individual output channels by activating the ANALOG I/O CONFIGURATION MENU (see Section 4.6.3), then pressing:

4.6.3.5. Current Loop Output Adjustment
92
A current loop option is available and can be installed as a retrofit for each of the analog outputs of the analyzer. This option converts the DC voltage analog output to a current signal with 0-20 mA output current. The outputs can be scaled to any set of limits within that 0-20 mA range. However, most current loop applications call for either 2-20 mA or 4-20 mA range. All current loop outputs have a +5% over-range. Ranges with the lower limit set to more than 1 mA (e.g., 2-20 or 4-20 mA) also have a -5% under-range.
To switch an analog output from voltage to current loop after installing the current output printed circuit assembly, follow the instructions in Section 4.6.3.1 and select curr from the list of opti
on the “Output Range” menu.
ons
Adjusting the signal zero and span values of the current loop output is done by raising or lowering the voltage of the respective analog output. This proportionally raises or lowers the current produced by the current loop option.

07266B DCN6485
Similar to the voltage calibration, the software allows this current adjustment to be made in 100, 10 or 1 count increments. Since the exact current increment per voltage count varies from output to output and from instrument to instrument, you will need to measure the change in the current with a current meter placed in series with the output circuit (Figure 4-5).

4.6.4. OPTIC TEST

The optic test function tests the response of the PMT sensor by turning on an LED located in the cooling block of the PMT (Fig. 10-15). The analyzer uses the light emitted from the LED to test its photo-electronic subsystem, including the PMT and the current to voltage converter on the pre-amplifier board. To make sure that the analyzer measures only the light coming from the LED, the analyzer should be supplied with zero air. The optic test should produce a PMT signal of about 2000±1000 mV. To activate the electrical test press:

4.6.5. ELECTRICAL TEST

The electrical test function creates a current, which substitutes the PMT signal, and feeds it into the preamplifier board. This signal is generated by circuitry on the pre-amplifier board itself and tests the filtering and amplification functions of that assembly along with the A/D converter on the motherboard. It does not test the PMT itself. The electrical test should produce a PMT signal of about 2000 ±1000 mV.
