1. INTRODUCTION, FEATURES AND OPTIONS

This section provides an overview of the Teledyne API Model T100 Analyzer, its
features and its options.

T100 OVERVIEW 1.1.

The Model T100 (also referred to as T100) UV Fluorescence SO2 Analyzer is a
microprocessor control led analyzer that determines the concentration of sulfur dioxide

), in a sample gas drawn through the instrument’s sample chamber where it is

(SO

2

exposed to ultraviolet light, which causes any S O
measures the amount of fluorescence to determine the amount of SO
sample gas.

present t o fluoresce. The instrument

2

present in the

2

The T100’s exceptional stability is achieved with the use of an optical shutter to
compensate for sensor drift and a reference detector to correct for changes in UV lamp
intensity. Additionally, an advanced optical design combined with a special scrubber,
called a "kicker" that removes hydrocarbons (which fluoresce similarly to SO

), to

2

prevent inaccuracies caused by interferents.
Calibration is performed in software that stores SO

when specific, known concentrations of SO

concentration measurements made

2

are supplied to the analyzer. The

2

microprocessor uses these calibration val ues along with other performance parameters
such as the sensor offset, UV lamp intensity, amount of stray light present, and sample
gas temperature and pressure measurements to compute the final SO

concentration.

2

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 serial port or Ethernet port 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.

3.3.1.4. CURRENT LOOP ANALOG OUTPUTS (OPTION 41) SETUP

If your analyzer had this option installed at the factory, there are no further connections
to be made. The current loop option can be configured for any output range between 0
and 20 mA. Section 5.9.3.5 provides information on calibrating or adjusting these
outputs.

This section provides instructions for setting up the analog outputs for voltage and/or
current output. Figure 3-8 provides installation instructions and illustrates a sample
combination of one current output and two voltage outputs configuration.

• For current output install the Current Loop option PCA on J19, on J 21 or on J23 of

the motherboard.

• For voltage output, install jumpers on J19, J21 and/or J23.
Following Figure 3-8 are instructions for converting current loop analog outputs to

standard 0-to-5 VDC outputs.

CAUTION – AVOID INVALIDATING WARRANTY

Servicing or handling of circuit components requires electrostatic
discharge protection (ESD), i.e. ESD grounding straps, mats and
containers. Failure to use ESD protection when working with electronic
assemblies will void the instrument warranty. Refer to the manual on
Fundamentals of ESD, PN 04786, which can be downloaded from our
website at http://www.teledyne-api.com under Help Center > Product
Manuals in the Special Manuals section.

CONVERTING CURRENT LOOP ANALOG OUTPUTS TO STANDARD VOLTAGE OUTPUTS

To convert an output configured for cur rent loop operation to the standard 0 to 5 VDC
output operation:

1. Turn off power to the analyzer.

2. If a recording device was connected to the output being modified, disconnect it.

3. Remove the top cover

• Remove the side-panel screw fastening the top cover to the unit.

• Lift the cover straight up.

4. Disc onnect the current loop option PCA from the appropriat e connector on the
motherboard (refer to Figure 3-8).

5. Each connector, J19 and J23, requires two shunts. Place one shunt on the
two left most pins and the second shunt on the two pins next to it (refer to
Figure 3-8).

6. Reattach the top case to the analyzer.

The analyzer is now ready to have a voltage-sensing, recording device attached to that
output.

3.3.1.5. CONNECTING THE STATUS O U TPUTS

The status outputs report analyzer conditions via optically isolated NPN transistors,
which sink up to 50 mA of DC current. These outputs can be used interface with
devices that accept logic-level digital inputs, such as Programmable Logic Controllers
(PLCs). Each status bit is an open collector output that can withstand up to 40 VDC.
All of the emitters of these transistors are tied together and available at the “D”
connector pin.

ATTENTION

COULD DAMAGE INSTRUMENT AND VOID WARRANTY

Most PLCs have internal provisions for limiting the current that the input
will draw from an external device. When connecting to a unit that does
not have this feature, an external dropping resistor must be used to limit
the current through the transistor output to less than 50 mA . At 50 mA,
the transistor will drop approximately 1.2V from its collector to emitter.

The status outputs are accessed via a 12-pin connector on the analyzer’s rear panel
labeled STATUS (Figure 3-9). Pin-outs for this connector are presented in Table 3-7.

CONTROL IN on the analyzer’s rear panel.

There are two methods for energizing the control inputs. The internal +5V available
from the pin labeled “+” is the most convenient method (Figure 3-10, lef t) . However, if
full isolation is required, an external 5 VDC power supply should be used (Figure 3-10,

3.3.1.7. CONNECTING THE CONCENTRATION ALARM RELAY (OPTION 61)

The concentration alarm option is comprised of 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 Teledyne API instruments. Each relay has
3 pins: Normally Open (NO), Common (C) and Normally Closed (NC).

Figure 3-11: Concentration Alarm Relay

Alarm 1 “System OK 2”
Alarm 2 “Conc 1”
Alarm 3 “Conc 2”

Analyzer

Alarm 4 “Range Bit”

“ALARM 1” RELAY

Alar m 1, which is “System OK 2” (system OK 1 is the status bit), is in the energized
state when the instrument is “OK” and there are no warnings. If there is a warning
active or if the instrument is put into the “DIAG” mode, Alarm 1 will change states.
This alarm has “reverse logic” meaning that if you put a meter across the Common and
Normally Closed pins on the connector, you will find that it is OPEN when the
instrument is OK. This is so that if the instrument should turn off or lose power, it will
change states and you can record this with a data logger or other recording device.

“ALARM 2” RELAY & “ALARM 3” RELAY

Alarm 2 relay is associated with the “Concentration Alarm 1” set point in the software;
Alarm 3 relay is associated with the “Concentration Alarm 2” set point in the software.

Alarm 2 Relay SO
Alarm 3 Relay SO
Alarm 2 Relay SO

Alar m 2 relay will be turned on any time the concentration value exceeds the set-point,
and will return to its normal state when the concentration value returns below the
concentration set-point.

Alarm 1 = xxx PPM

Even though the relay on the rear panel is a non-latching alarm and resets when the
concentration goes back below the alarm set point, the warning on the front panel of the
instrument will remain latched until it is cleared. You can clear the warning on the front
panel either manually by pressing the CLR button on the front panel touch-screen or
remotely through the serial port.

3.3.1.8. CONNECTING THE COMMUNIC ATIONS INTERFACES

Available remote communications interfaces are: Ethernet, USB, RS-232, RS-232
Multidrop and RS-485. Use appropriate cables, and configure each type of

communication method through the SETUP>COMM menu, Section 6. Although
Ethernet is DHCP-enabled by default, it can also be configured manually (Section 6.5.1)
to set up a static IP address, which is the recommended setting when operating the
instrument via Ethernet.

ETHERNET CONNECTION

For network or Internet communication with the analyzer, connect an Ethernet cable
from the analyzer’s rear panel Ethernet interface connector to an Ethernet port. Please
refer to Section 6.5 for a description of the default configuration and setup instructions.

When the RS-232 Multidrop option is installed, connection adjustments and
configuration through the menu system are required. This section provides instructions
for the internal connection adjustments, then for external connections, and ends with
instructions for menu-driven configuration.

Note

ATTENTION

Because the RS-232 Multidrop option uses both the RS232 and COM2
DB9 connectors on the analyzer’s rear panel to connect the chain of
instruments, COM2 port is no longer available for separate RS-232 or
RS-485 operation.

COULD DAMAGE INSTRUMENT AND VOID WARRANTY

Printed Circuit Assemblies (PCAs) are sensitive to electro-static
discharges (ESD) too small to be felt by the human nervous system.
Failure to use ESD protection when working with electronic assemblies
will void the instrument warranty. Refer to the manual on Fundamentals
of ESD, PN 04786, which can be downloaded from our website at

http://www.teledyne-api.com

the Special Manuals section.

In each instrument with the Multidrop option there i s a shunt that jumpers two pins on
the serial Multidrop and LVDS printed circuit assembly (PCA), as shown in Figure
3-14. This shunt must be removed from all instruments except that designated as last in
the multidrop chain, which must remain terminated. This requires powering off and
opening each instrument and making the following adjustments:

under Help Center > Product Manuals in

1. With NO pow er to the instrument, rem ove its top cover and lay the rear panel open
for access to the multidrop/LVDS PCA, which is seated on the CPU.

2. On the multidrop PCA’s JP2 connector, remove the shunt that jumpers Pins 21 ↔
22 as indicated in Figure 3-14. (Do this for all but the last instrument in the chain
where the shunt should remain at Pins 21 ↔ 22).

3. Check that the following cable connections are made in all instruments (again refer
to Figure 3-14):

• J3 on the Multidrop/LVDS PCA to the CPU’s COM1 connector

(Note that the CPU’s COM2 connector is not used in Multidrop)

• J4 on the Multidrop/LVDS PCA to J12 on the motherboard

• J1 on the Multidrop/LVDS PCS to the front panel LCD

instrument that was previously the last instrument in the chain.

4. Close the instrument.

5. Referring to Figure 3-15 use straight-through DB9 male  DB9 female cables to
interconnect the host RS232 port to the first analyzer’s RS232 port; then from the
first analyzer’s COM2 port to the second analyzer’s RS232 port; from the second
analyzer’s COM2 port to the third analyzer’s RS232 port, etc., connecting in this
fashion up to eight analyzers, subject to the distance limitations of the RS-232
standard.

6. On the r ear panel of each analyzer, adj ust the DCE DTE switch so that t he green
and the red LEDs ( RX and T X ) of the COM1 connect o r (lab ele d R S2 32) are both lit.
(Ensure you are using the c orr ec t RS-232 cables internall y wired s pecif ic al ly for RS­232 communication; see Section 3.3.1.8 under “RS-232 Connection”.

7. BEFOR E communicating from the host, power on t he instruments and check that

PNEUMATIC CONNECTIONS 3.3.2.

This section provides not only pneumatic connection information, but also important
information about the gases required for accurate calibration (Section 3.3.2.11); it also
illustrates the pneumatic layouts for the analyzer in its basic configuration and with
options.

Before making the pneumatic connections, carefully note the following cautionary and
additional messages:

CAUTION

GENER AL S AFETY HAZARD

SULFUR DIOXIDE (SO2) IS A TOXIC GAS.

Analyzer

2

DO NOT vent calibration gas and sample gas into enclosed areas. Obtain
a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for this material. Read and
rigorously follow the safety guidelines described there.

CAUTION

GENER AL S AFETY HAZARD

Sample and calibration gases should only come into contact with PTFE
(Teflon) or glass tubes and fixtures.

They SHOULD NOT come in contact with brass or stainless steel fittings
prior to the reaction cell.

The exhaust from the analyzer’s internal pump MUST be vented outside
the immediate area or shelter surrounding the instrument.

It is important to conform to all safety requirements regarding exposure
to SO2.

52

Teledyne API - T100 UV Fluorescence SO2 Analyzer Getting Started

06807F DCN7335

ATTENTION

COULD DAMAGE INSTRUMENT AND VOID WARRANTY

Maximum Pressure:

Ideally the maximum pressure of any gas at the sample inlet should
equal ambient atmospheric pressure and should NEVER exceed 1.5 in­hg above ambient pressure.

Venting Pressurized Gas:

In applications where any gas (span gas, zero air supply, sample gas
is) received from a pressurized manifold, a vent must be provided to
equalize the gas with ambient atmospheric pressure before it enters
the analyzer to ensure that the gases input do not exceed t he
maximum inlet pressure of the analyzer, as well as to prevent back
diffusion and pressure effects. These vents should be:

• at least 0.2m long

• no more than 2m long

• vented outside the shelter or immediate area surrounding the

instrument.

Dust Plugs:
Remove dust plugs from rear panel exhaust and supply line fittings

before powering on/operating instrument. These plugs should be kept
for reuse in the event of future storage or shipping to prevent debris
from entering the pneumatics.

IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT

EPA Requirements:
US EPA requirements state that zero air and span gases must be

supplied at twice the instrument’s specified gas flow rate. Therefore,
the T100 zero and span gases should be supplied to their respective
inlets in excess of 1300 cc

3

/min (650 cc3/min. x 2).

Leak Check:
Run a leak check once the appropriate pneumatic connections have

been made; check all pneumatic fittings for leaks using the
procedures defined in Section 10.3.6

.

CAUTION – GENERAL SAFETY HAZARD

Gas flow though the analyzer must be maintained at all time for units with
a permeation tube installed. Insufficient gas flow allows gas to build up
to levels that will contaminate the instrument or present a safety hazard
to personnel.

The state of the zero/span valves can also be controlled by any of the following means:

• manually from the analyzer’s front panel by using the SIGNAL I/O controls
located within the DIAG Menu (refer to Section 5.9.1)

• by activating the instrument’s AutoCal feature (refer to Section 9.8)

• remotely by using the external digital control inputs (refer to Section 8.1.2 and

Section 9.7.1)

• remotely through the RS-232/485 serial I/O ports (refer to Appendix A-6 for the
appropriate commands)

Sources of zero and span gas must be capable of supplying at least 1.55 L/min.
(maximum 2.5L/min). The supply line 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.

In order to keep the permeation rate constant, the IZS e nclosure 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.

Span gas is created when zero air passes over a permeation tube containing liquid SO
under high pressure, which slowly permeates through a PTFE membrane into the
surrounding air. The speed at which the SO
effusion rate. The concentration of the span gas is determined by three factors:

• Size of the membrane: The larger the area of the membrane, the more permeation
occurs.

• Temperature of the SO
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 air into the zero air stream will be constant. Therefore, a lower flow rate of
zero air produces higher concentrations of SO
flow rate and a constant permeation rate; hence, variations in concentration can be
achieved by changing the IZS temperature.

3.3.2.11. ABOUT ZERO AIR AND CALIBRATION (SPAN) GASES

Zero air and span gas are required for accurate calibration.

ZERO AIR

Zero air is a gas that is similar in chemical composition to the earth’s atmosphere but
without the gas being measured by the analyzer, in this case SO
equipped with an Internal Zer o Span (IZS) or an external zero air scrubber option, it is
capable of creating zero air.

For analyzers without an IZS or external zero air scrubber option, a zero air generator
such as the Teledyne API Model 701 can be used (Figure 3-16).

SPAN GAS FOR MULTIPOINT CALIBRATION

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 SO
calibrator such as a Teledyne API Model T700 (Figure 3-17). This typ e of calibrator
precisely mixes a high concentration gas with 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.

2

64

If a dynamic dilution system is used to dilute high concentration gas standards to low,
ambient concentrations, ensure that the SO

concentration of the reference gas matches

2

the dilution range of the calibrator.
Choose the SO

gas concentr ation so t hat the dynamic dilution system operates in its

2

mid-range and not at the extremes of its dilution capabilities.

EXAMPLE:

• A dilution calibrator with 10-10000 dilution ratio will not be able to accurately

dilute a 5000 ppm SO

gas to a final concentration of 500 ppb, as this would operate

2

at the very extreme dilution setting.

• A 100 ppm SO

gas in nitrogen is much more suitable to calibrate the T100 analyzer

2

(dilution ratio of 222, in the mid-range of the system’s capabilities).

material whenever working with the UV Lamp. (Generic plastic glasses
are not adequate).

After the electrical and pneumatic connections are made, run an initial functional
check. Turn on the instrument. The pump and exhaust fan should start immediately.
The dis play will show a momentary splash screen of the Teledyne API l ogo and other
information during the initialization process while t he CPU loads the operating system,
the firmware and the configuration data.

WARNING MESSAGES 3.4.2.

The analyzer should automatically switch to Sample Mode after completing the boot-up
sequence and start monitoring the

gas. However, there is an approximately one hour
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.

Because internal temperatures and other conditions may be outside the specified limits
during the analyzer’s warm-up period, the software will suppress most warning
conditions for 30 minutes after power up. If warning messages persist after the 60
minutes warm up period is over, investigate their cause using the troubleshooting
guidelines in Section 11.1.1.

INITIAL CALIBRATION 3.4.4.

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 anal yzer. Refer to Section

3.3.2 for instructions for connecting these gas sources.
The initial calibration should be carried out using the same reporting range set-up as

used during the analyzer’s factory calibration. This will allow you to compare your
calibration results to the factory calibration as listed on the Final Test and Validation
Data Sheet, P/N 04551.

If both available DAS parameters for a specific gas type are being reported via the
instrument’s analog outputs (e.g. CONC1 and CONC2 when the DUAL range mode is
activated), separate calibrations should be carried out for each parameter.

• Use the LOW button when calibrating for CONC1 (equivalent to RANGE1).

• Use the HIGH button when calibrating for CONC2 (equivalent to RANGE2).

Refer to the Configurable Analog Output Addendum, P/N 06270 for more information
on the configurable analog output reporting ranges.

Note

The following procedure assumes that the instrument does not have any
of the available valve options installed. Refer to Section 9.4 for
instructions for calibrating instruments possessing valve options

Note The T100 analyzer has been tested for its ability to reject interference for

most sources. See Section 12.1.9 for more information on this topic.

3.4.4.1. INITIAL CALIBRATION PROCEDURE FOR BASIC ANALYZERS (NO 2ND GAS OPTION)

The following procedure assumes that:

• The instrument DOES NOT have any of the available calibrati on valve or gas inl et

options installed;

• Cal gas will be supplied t hrough the SAMPLE gas inlet on the back of the analyzer

(refer to Figure 3-4);

• The pneumatic setup matches that described in Section 3.3.2.

an allowable value, the ENTR button will re-appear.

The T100 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 SO

concentration can be viewed 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.

AVAIL ABLE ANALOG O UTPUT SIGN ALS 5.4.1.

The analyzer has three active ana log output si gnals, accessible through a connector on
the rear panel.

Figure 5-2: SETUP – Analog Output Connector

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 mA DC 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 adj ust the signal
level and scaling of the actual output voltage or current to match the input requirements
of the recorder or data logger (Refer to Section 5.9.3.3 and 5.9.3.5).

In its basic configuration, the A1 and A2 channels of the T100 output a signal that is
proportional to the SO

concentration of the sample gas. Several operating mo des are

2

available which allow:

• Single range mode (SNGL Mode, refer to Section 5.4.3.1): Both outputs are slaved

together and will represent the same concentration 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 – Refer to Section 5.9.3).

• Dual range mode (DUAL mode, refer to Section 5.4.3.2): The two outputs can to

configured for separate and independent units of measure and measurement spans as
well as separate electronic signal levels.

84

Teledyne API - T100 UV Fluorescence SO2 Analyzer SETUP Menu

06807F DCN7335

• Auto range mode (AUTO mode, refer to Section 5.4.3.3) gives the analyzer the

ability to automatically switch the A1 and A2 analog outputs between two ranges
(low and high) dynamically as the concentration value fluctuates.

EXAMPLE:
A1 OUTPUT: Output Signal = 0-5 VDC representing 0-1000 ppm concentration values

A2 OUTPUT: Output Signal = 0 – 10 VDC representing 0-500 ppm concentration values.
A3 OUTPUT: Test channel; e.g., PMT signal = 0-5V

Output A4 is not available on the T100 Analyzer in standard configuration.

PHYSICAL RANGE VERSUS ANALOG OUTPUT REPORTING 5.4.2.

RANGES

The entire measurement range of the T100 is 0 – 20,000 ppb, but many applications use
only a small part of the analyzer’s full measurement range. This creates two
performance challenges:

The width of the T100’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 full 20,000 ppb measurement range. Unmodified, the
corresponding output signal would also be recorded across only 0.25% of the range of
the recording device.

is typically less than 500 ppb, the full scale of expect ed values is

2

The T100 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.

Applications where low concentrations of SO

are measured require greater sensitivity

2

and resolution than typically necessary for measurements of higher concentrations.
The T100 solves this issue by using two hardware physical ranges that cover the

instrument’s entire 0 and 20,000 ppb measurement range: a 0 to 2,000 ppb physical
range for increased sensitivity and resolution when measuring very low SO
concentrations, and a 0 to 20,000 ppb physical range for measuring higher SO

2
2

concentrations. The anal yzer’s software automatically selects which physical range is in
effect based on the analog output reporting range selected by the user.

• If the high end of the selected reporting range is ≤ 2,000 ppb. The low physical range is

selected.

• If the high end of the selected reporting range is ≥ 2,001 ppb. The high physical range

is selected.

Once properly calibrated, the analyzer’s front panel display will accurately report
concentrations along the entire span of its 0 and 20,000 ppb physical range regardless of
which reporting range has been selected for the analog outputs and which physical range
is being used by the instrument’s software.

REPORTING RANGE MODES: SINGLE, DUAL, AUTO RANGES 5.4.3.

The T100 provides three analog output range modes to choose from:

• Single range (SNGL) mode sets a single maximum r ange for the analog output. If

single range is selected (refer to Section 5.4.3.1) 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 – Refer to Section 5.9.3.1).

• Dual range (DUAL) allows the A1 and A2 outputs to be configured with dif ferent

measurement spans (refer to Section 5.4.3.2).

• Auto range (AUTO) mode gives the analyzer to ability to output data via a low

range and high range. When this mode is selected (refer to Section 5.4.3.3) the T100
will automatically switch between the two ranges dynamically as the concentration
value fluctuates.

Also, in this mode the RANGE Test function displayed on the front panel during
SAMPLE mode will be replaced by two separate functions, Range1 and Range2.

Range status is also output via the External Digital I/O Status Bits (refer to Section

8.1.1).

The default range mode for the analyzer is single range, in which all analog
concentration outputs are set to t he same reporting range. This reporting range can be set
to any value between 0.1 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 differently (e.g., A1 = 0-10 V; A2 = 0-

5.4.3.2. 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 wit h 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 0-150 ppb while the high range
is set for 0-50 ppb.

In DUAL range mode the RANGE test function displayed on the front panel will be
replaced by two separate functions:

• RANGE1: The range setting for the A1 output.

• RANGE2: The range setting for the A2 output.

5.4.4.1. CONVERTING MICROGRAMS PER CUBIC M ET ER TO PARTS PER MILLION

The conversion between micrograms per cubic meter and parts per million is based on
standard conditions (0

22.414 L. Thus, converting the mass of the pollutant M
volume V

in liters at standard temperature and pressure (STP) takes the following

p

o

C and 101.325 kPa) where one mole of an ideal gas occupies

in grams to its equivalent

p

equation:

Vp = [(Mp)/(MW)] x 22.414 L.mol-1

Where MW is the molecular weight of the pollutant in units of grams per mole. For
readings made at temperatures and pressures other than standard conditions, the standard
volume, 22.414 L

.

mol-1, must be corrected. The ideal gas law to make the correction can

be used:

(22.414 L.mol-1) x [(T2)/(273 K)] x [(101.325 kPa)/(P2)]

Where T2 and P2 are the absolute temperature (in Kelvin) and absolute pressure (in
kilopascals) at which the readings were made. Because parts per million is a volume
ratio, it can be written as:

ppm = (Vp)/(Va + Vp)

where Va is the volume of the air in cubic meters at the temperature and pressure at
which the measurement was taken. Then combine equations to yield:

ppm = {[(Mp)/(MW)] x (22.414 L.mol-1) x [(T2)/(273 K)] x [(101.325 kPa)/(P2)]}

Next, convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin:

25oC + 273 K = 298 K

Using the equation derived above, Concentration is:

{[(80 µg)/(64.06 g.mol-1)] x (22.414 L.mol-1) x [(298 K)/(273 K)] x [(101.325 kPa)/(103.193 kPa)]} / [(1 m3) x (1000 L.m3)]

= 0.030 ppm of SO2

DILUTION RATIO (OPTION) 5.4.5.

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. Once t he degree of dilution is known,
add an appropriate scaling factor to the analyzer’s SO
the measurement range and concentration values reflect the undiluted values when
shown on the instrument’s front panel display screen and reported via the analog and
serial outputs.

Using the Dilution Rat io option is a 4-step process:

1. Select reporting range units: Follow the procedure in Section 5.4.4

2. Selec t the r eporting range m ode and s et the r eportin g r ange up per limit (see Section

5.4).

• Ensure that the upper span limit entered for the reporting range is the maximum

expected concentration of the undiluted gas.

3. Set the dilution factor as a ga in (e.g., a value of 20 m eans 20 parts diluent and 1

part of sample gas):

concentration calculation so that

4. Calibrate the analyzer.

• Ensure that the calibration span gas is either supplied through the same dilution

system as the sample gas or has an appropriate ly lower actual concentration.

EXAMPLE: If the reporting range limit i s set for 100 ppm and the dilution ratio of
the sample gas is 20 gain, either:

• a span gas with the concentration of 100 ppm can be used if the span gas passes

through the same dilution steps as the sample gas, or;

• a 5 ppm span gas must be used if the span gas IS NOT routed through the

dilution system.

The analyzer multiplies the measured gas concentrations with this dilution factor and
displays the result.

Once the above settings have been entered, the instrument needs to be
recalibrated using one of the methods discussed in Section 9

SETUP – PASS: PASSWORD PROTECTION 5.5.

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, the system will prompt the user for a password anytime a password-protected
function (e.g., SETUP) is selected. T his 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 ente r the VARS or DIAG menus in the
SETUP>MORE menu.
