1. INTRODUCTION
The Models T360 and T360M differ only in specifications; unless clearly
differentiated, both models in this manual are referred to as the T360 for
simplification. The T360/T360M measures carbon dioxide CO
infrared energy absorbed by a sample to that absorbed by a reference according to
the Beer-Lambert law. This is accomplished by using a Gas Filter Wheel which
alternately allows a high energy infrared (IR) light source to pass through a CO
filled chamber and a chamber with no CO
The IR light then travels through the sample cell, which has a folded path. Energy
loss through the sample cell is compared with the zero reference signal provided
by the gas filter to produce an output proportional to concentration, with little effect from
interfering gases within the sample. A nitrogen purge system is pro-vided for the
GFC wheel assembly to eliminate the effects of ambient CO
This design produces superior zero and span stability and a high signal-to-noise
ratio, allowing excellent sensitivity. Multi-tasking software gives real time
indication of numerous operating parameters and provides automatic alarms if
diagnostic limits are exceeded.

1. Attach a sample inlet line to the sample inlet port. The SAMPLE input line
should not be more than 2 meters long.
NOTE
Ideally, the pressure of the sample gas should be at ambient pressure (0 psig).
Maximum pressure of sample gas should not exceed 1.5 in-Hg over ambient.
In applications where the sample gas is received from a pressurized manifold, a vent
must be placed as shown to equalize the sample gas with ambient atmospheric
pressure before it enters the analyzer. This vent line must be:
At least 0.2m long
No more than 2m long and vented outside the shelter or
immediate area surrounding the instrument.
2. Attach sources of zero air and span gas (see Figures 3-3 through 3-8
inclusive).
Span Gas is a gas 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 CO2 measurements made with the Teledyne Instruments Model
T360 Analyzer it is recommended that you use a gas calibrated to have a CO
content equaling 80% of the range of compositions being measured.

EXAMPLE: If the application is to measure between 0 ppm and 500 ppm, an
appropriate Span Gas would be 400 ppm. If the application is to measure
between 0 ppm and 100 ppm, an appropriate Span Gas would be 80 ppm.

In the case of CO2 measurements this means less than 0.1 ppm of CO2 and Water
Vapor (when dew point <-15˚C). Zero Air can be purchased in pressurized
canisters.
3. Attach an exhaust line to the exhaust outlet port.
The exhaust from the pump and vent lines should be vented to
atmospheric pressure using maximum of 10 meters of ¼” PTEF tubing.
CAUTION
Venting should be outside the shelter or immediate area surrounding
the instrument.
4. Attach a source of dried air scrubbed of CO2 to the purge inlet port.
NOTE
The minimum gas pressure of the source of purge air should be 7.5 psig.
If the source of the purge air is shared by a Teledyne Instruments T700 (e.g., Figure 3-13) the
minimum gas pressure should be 25 psig and should not exceed 35 psig.
5. Once the appropriate pneumatic connections have been made, check all
pneumatic fittings for leaks using a procedure similar to that defined in
Section 6.3.3.

Calibrator like the Teledyne Instruments Model 700 or 702. Internal zero/span
and sample/cal valves control the flow of gas through the instrument, but because
the calibrator limits the flow of span gas no shutoff valve is required.
In order to ensure that span gas does not migrate backwards through the vent line
and alter the concentration of the span gas, a gas line not less than 2 meters in
length should be attached to the vent span outlet on the rear panel of the analyzer.
To prevent the buildup of back pressure, this vent line should not be greater than
10 meters in length.

This option requires that both zero air and span gas be supplied from external
sources. It is specifically designed for applications where span gas will be
supplied from a pressurized bottle of calibrated CO
orifice, internal to the instrument ensures that the proper flow rate is maintained.
An internal vent line, isolated by a shutoff valve ensures that the gas pressure of
the span gas is reduced to ambient atmospheric pressure. Normally zero air
would be supplied from zero air modules such as a Teledyne Instruments Model
701.
In order to ensure that span gas does not migrate backwards through the vent line

3.6.4. Pneumatic Connections in Multipoint Calibration Applications
Some applications may require multipoint calibration checks where span gas of
several different concentrations is needed. We recommend using highconcentration, certified, calibration gas supplied to the analyzer through a Gas
Dilution Calibrator such as a Teledyne Instruments Model T700. This type of
calibrator precisely mixes Span Gas and Zero Air to produce any concentration
level between 0 ppm and the concentration of the calibrated gas.

3.7.4. Functional Checks
1. After the analyzer’s components has warmed up for at least 30 minutes,
verify that the software properly supports any hardware options that were
installed.
2. Check to make sure that the analyzer is functioning within allowable
operating parameters. Appendix C includes a list of test functions viewable
from the analyzer’s front panel as well as their expected values. These
functions are also useful tools for diagnosing performance problems with
your analyzer (Section11.1.2). The enclosed Final Test and Validation Data
sheet (part number 04307) lists these values before the instrument left the
factory.
To view the current values of these parameters press the following button
sequence on the analyzer’s front panel. Remember until the unit has completed
its warm up these parameters may not have stabilized.

To assist in navigating the analyzer’s software, a series of menu trees can be
found in Appendix A-1 of this manual.
NOTES
The flow charts appearing in this contain typical representations of the analyzer’s display during the
various operations being described. These representations may differ slightly from the actual display of
your instrument.
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 an
allowable value, the ENTR button will re-appear.

4.7. SETUP DAS: USING THE DATA ACQUISITION
SYSTEM (DAS)
The T360 analyzer contains a flexible and powerful, internal data acquisition
system (DAS) that enables the analyzer to store concentration and calibration data
as well as a host of diagnostic parameters. The DAS of the T360 can storeseveral
months worth of measurements, depending on how it is configured. The data are
stored in non-volatile memory and are retained even when the instrument is
powered off. Data are stored in plain text format for easy retrieval and use in
common data analysis programs (such as spreadsheet-type programs).
The DAS is designed to be flexible, users have full control over the type, length
and reporting time of the data. The DAS permits users to access stored data
through the instrument’s front panel or its communication ports. Using
APICOM, data can even be retrieved automatically to a remote computer for
further processing.
The principal use of the DAS is logging data for trend analysis and predictive
diagnostics, which can assist in identifying possible problems before they affect
the functionality of the analyzer. The secondary use is for data analysis,
documentation and archival in electronic format.
To support the DAS functionality, Teledyne API offers APICOM, a program that
provides a visual interface for remote or local setup, configuration and data
retrieval of the DAS (Section 4.15.2.8). The APICOM manual, which is included
with the program
, contains a more detailed description of the DAS structure and
configuration.
The T360 is configured with a basic DAS configuration, which is enabled by
default. New data channels are also enabled by default but each channel may be
turned off for later or occasional use. Note that DAS operation is suspended
while its configuration is edited through the front panel. To prevent such data
loss, it is recommended to use the APICOM graphical user interface for DAS
changes.
The green SAMPLE LED on the instrument front panel, which indicates the
analyzer status, also indicates certain aspects of the DAS status:
Table 4-6: Secondary Setup Mode Features and Functions
LED STATE DAS Status
OFF System is in calibration mode. Data logging can be enabled or disabled for this mode.
Calibration data are typically stored at the end of calibration periods, concentration data are
typically not sampled, diagnostic data should be collected.
BLINKING Instrument is in hold-off mode, a short period after the system exits calibrations. DAS
channels can be enabled or disabled for this period. Concentration data are typically disabled
whereas diagnostic should be collected.
ON
Sampling normally.
The DAS can be disabled only by disabling or deleting its individual data
channels.

Operating Instructions Teledyne API Model T360/T360M Operation Manual

4.7.1. DAS Structure
The DAS is designed around the feature of a “record”. A record is a single data
point of one parameter, stored in one (or more) data channels and generated by
one of several triggering event. The entire DAS configuration is stored in a
script, which can be edited from the front panel or downloaded, edited and
uploaded to the instrument in form of a string of plain-text lines through the
communication ports.
DAS data are defined by the PARAMETER type and are stored through different
triggering EVENTS in data CHANNELS, which relate triggering events to data
parameters and define certain operational functions related to the recording and
reporting of the data.
4.7.1.1. DAS CHANNELS
The key to the flexibility of the DAS is its ability to store a large number of
combinations of triggering events and data parameters in the form of data
channels. Users may create up to 20 data channels; each channel can contain one
or more parameters. For each channel one triggering event is selected and up to
50 data parameters, which can be the same or different between channels. Each
data channel has several properties that define the structure of the channel and
allow the user to make operational decisions regarding the channel (Table 4-7).

4.7.1.2. DAS PARAMETERS
Data parameters are types of data that may be measured and stored by the DAS.
For each Teledyne Instruments analyzer model, the list of available data
parameters is different, fully defined and not customizable. Appendix A-5 lists
firmware specific data parameters for the analyzer. DAS parameters include
things like CO
placed around the analyzer, pressures and flows of the pneumatic subsystem and
other diagnostic measurements as well as calibration data such as slope and
offset.
Most data parameters have associated measurement units, such as mV, ppb,
cm³/min, etc., although some parameters have no units. With the exception of
concentration readings, none of these units of measure can be changed. To
change the units of measure for concentration readings see Section 4.8.6.
concentration measurements, temperatures of the various heaters
2
Note
DAS does not keep track of the unit of each concentration value, and DAS data files may contain
concentrations in multiple units if the unit was changed during data acquisition.
Each data parameter has user-configurable functions that define how the data are
recorded:
Table 4-8: DAS Data Parameter Functions
FUNCTION EFFECT

STORE NUM.
SAMPLES
Instrument-specific parameter name.
INST: Records instantaneous reading.
AVG: Records average reading during reporting interval.
MIN: Records minimum (instantaneous) reading during reporting interval.
MAX: Records maximum (instantaneous) reading during reporting interval.
SDEV: Records the standard deviation of the data points recorded during the reporting interval.
Decimal precision of parameter value (0-4).
OFF: stores only the average (default).
ON: stores the average and the number of samples in each average for a parameter. This
property is only useful when the AVG sample mode is used. Note that the number of samples
is the same for all parameters in one channel and needs to be specified only for one of the
parameters in that channel.
Users can specify up to 50 parameters per data channel (the T360 provides about
30 parameters). However, the number of parameters and channels is ultimately
limited by available memory.

4.7.1.3. DAS TRIGGERING EVENTS
Triggering events define when and how the DAS records a measurement of any
given data channel. Triggering events are firmware-specific and a complete list
of Triggers for this model analyzer can be found in Appendix A-5. The most
commonly used triggering events are:
ATIMER: Sampling at regular intervals specified by an automatic timer. Most
trending information is usually stored at such regular intervals, which can be
instantaneous or averaged.
the end of (irregularly occurring) calibrations or when the response slope
changes. These triggering events create instantaneous data points, e.g., for
the new slope and offset (concentration response) values at the end of a
calibration. Zero and slope values are valuable to monitor response drift and
to document when the instrument was calibrated.
WARNINGS: Some data may be useful when stored if one of several
warning messages appears such as

CONC: Samples CO
every hour with a time and date stamp. Readings during calibration and
calibration hold off are not included in the data. By default, the last 800 hourly
averages are stored.
PNUMTC: Collects sample flow and sample pressure data at five minute
intervals and stores an average once a day with a time and date stamp. This data
is useful for monitoring the condition of the pump and critical flow orifice
(sample flow) and the sample filter (clogging indicated by a drop in sample
pressure) over time to predict when maintenance will be required. The last 360
daily averages (about 1 year) are stored.
CALDAT: Logs new slope and offset every time a zero or span calibration is
performed. This Data Channel also records the instrument readings just prior to
performing a calibration. This information is useful for performing predictive
diagnostics as part of a regular maintenance schedule (see Section 8.1).
STBZRO: L
detector of the most recent measure phase and the measure/reference ratio every
time the instrument exits the zero calibration mode. Data from the last 200 zero
calibrations is stored. A time and date stamp is recorded for every data point
logged. This information is useful for performing predictive diagnostics as part
of a regular maintenance schedule (see Section 8.1).

span calibration mode. Data from the last 200 zero calibrations is stored. A time
and date stamp is recorded for every data point logged. This information is useful
for performing predictive diagnostics as part of a regular maintenance schedule
(see Section 8.1).
TEMP: Samples the analyzer
’s bench temperature, box temperature and PHT
cooler drive voltage every five minutes and records an average once every six
hours. Data from the last 400 averaging periods is recorded. A time and date
stamp is recorded for every data point logged. This information is useful for
performing predictive diagnostics as part of a regular maintenance schedule (see
Section 8.1).
Note
The CALDAT, STBZRO and STBSPN channels collect data based on events (e.g. a calibration
operation) rather than a timed interval. This does not represent any specific length of time since it
is dependent on how often calibrations are performed.

4.7.2.6. SAMPLE PERIOD AND REPORT PERIOD
The DAS defines two principal time periods by which sample readings are taken
and permanently recorded: Sample Period and Report Period.
SAMPLE PERIOD: Determines how often DAS temporarily records a
sample reading of the parameter in volatile memory. The
is set to one minute by default and generally cannot be accessed from the
standard DAS front panel menu, but is available via the instruments
communication ports by using APICOM or the analyzer’s standard serial data
protocol.
SAMPLE PERIOD

REPORT PERIOD: Sets how often the sample readings stored in volatile
memory are processed, (e.g. average, minimum or maximum are calculated)
and the results stored permanently in the instruments Disk-on-Module as well
as transmitted via the analyzer’s communication ports. The

may be set from the front panel.

REPORT
In AVG, MIN or MAX sample modes, the settings for the SAMPLE PERIOD
and the REPORT PERIOD determine the number of data points used each time
the average, minimum or maximum is calculated, stored and reported to the com
ports. The actual sample readings are not stored past the end of the of the chosen
REPORT PERIOD.
Also, the SAMPLE PERIOD and REPORT PERIOD intervals are
synchronized to the beginning and end of the appropriate interval of the
instruments internal clock.
If SAMPLE PERIOD were set for one minute the first reading would occur at
the beginning of the next full minute according to the instrument’s internal
clock.
88
If the
REPORT PERIOD were set for of one hour the first report activity
would occur at the beginning of the next full hour according to the
instrument’s internal clock.
EXAMPLE: Given the above settings, if DAS were activated at 7:57:35 the
first sample would occur at 7:58 and the first report would be calculated at
8:00 consisting of data points for 7:58, 7:59 and 8:00.
During the next hour (from 8:01 to 9:00) the instrument will take a sample
reading every minute and include 60 sample readings.
When the STORE NUM SAMPLES feature is turned on, the instrument will
also store how many sample readings were used for the AVG, MIN or MAX
calculation but not the readings themselves.

4.7.2.7. REPORT PERIODS IN PROGRESS WHEN INSTRUMENT IS POWERED OFF
If the instrument is powered off in the middle of a REPORT PERIOD, the
samples accumulated so far during that period are lost. Once the instrument is
turned back on, the DAS restarts taking samples and temporarily them in volatile
memory as part of the REPORT PERIOD currently active at the time of restart.
At the end of this REPORT PERIOD only the sample readings taken since the
instrument was turned back on will be included in any AVG, MIN or MAX
calculation. Also, the STORE NUM. SAMPLES feature will report the number
of sample readings taken since the instrument was restarted.
To define the REPORT PERIOD, follow the instruction shown in Section
4.7.2.2 then press:

4.7.2.8. NUMBER OF RECORDS
Although the DAS can capture several months worth of data, the number of data
records in the T360 is limited by the total number of parameters and channels and
other settings in the DAS configuration. Every additional data channel,
parameter, number of samples setting etc. will reduce the maximum amount of
data points somewhat. In general, however, the maximum data capacity is
divided amongst all channels (max: 20) and parameters (max: 50 per channel).
The DAS will check the amount of available data space and prevent the user from
specifying too many records at any given point. If, for example, the DAS
memory space can accommodate 375 more data records, the ENTR key will
disappear when trying to specify more tha That number of records. This check
for memory space may also make an upload of a DAS configuration with
APICOM or a Terminal program fail, if the combined number of records would
be exceeded. In this case, it is suggested to either try from the front panel what
the maximum number of records can be or use trial-and-error in designing the
DAS script or calculate the number of records using the DAS or APICOM
manuals. To set the number of records for one channel from the front panel,
press SETUP-DAS-EDIT-ENTR and the following touchscreen button sequence.

4.7.3. Remote DAS Configuration
Editing channels, parameters and triggering events as described in this can be
performed via the APICOM remote control program using the graphic interface
shown in Figure 4-5. Refer to Section 4.15 for details on remote access to the
T360 analy
zer.
Figure 4-5: APICOM User Interface for DAS Configuration
Once a DAS configuration is edited (which can be done offline and without
interrupting DAS data collection), it is conveniently uploaded to the instrument
and can be stored on a computer for later review, alteration or documentation and
archival. Refer to the APICOM manual for details on these procedures. The
APICOM user manual (Teledyne Instruments part number 039450000) is
included in the APICOM installation file, which can be downloaded at
http://www.teledyne-api.com/software/apicom/. It is recommended that you start
by downloading the default DAS configuration, getting familiar with its
command structure and syntax conventions, and then altering a copy of the
original file offline before uploading the new configuration.
CAUTION
Whereas the editing, adding and deleting of DAS channels and parameters of one channel
through the front-panel touchscreen can be done without affecting the other channels, uploading
a DAS configuration script to the analyzer through its communication ports will erase all data,
parameters and channels by replacing them with the new DAS configuration. Backup of data and
the original DAS configuration is advised before attempting any DAS changes.

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 Section
4.13.4).
The A1 and A2 channels output a signal that is
proportional to the CO
concentration of the sample gas. Several modes are available which allow them
to operate independently or be slaved together. The user may also select between
a variety of reporting range spans (see Section 4.8).
Output A3 is only active if the O2 sensor option is installed. In this case a signal
representing the currently measured O
concentration is output on this channel.

The output, labeled A4 is special. It can be set by the user (See Section 4.13.9) to
output several of the test functions acce
ssible through the <TST TST> buttons of
the units sample display.

4.8.1. Physical Range versus Analog Output Reporting Ranges
Functionally, the Gas Filter Correlation CO2 Analyzer has one hardware Physical
Range that is capable of determining CO
2,000 ppm. This architecture improves reliability and accuracy by avoiding the
need for extra, switchable, gain-amplification circuitry. Once properly calibrated,
the analyzer’s front panel will accurately report concentrations along the entire
span of its 50 ppm and 2,000 ppm physical range.
Because, most applications use only a small part of the analyzer’s physical range,
the width of the Model T360’s physical range can create data resolution problems
for most analog recording devices. For example, in an application where the
expected concentration of CO
is typically less than 500 ppm, the full scale of
2
expected values is only 25% of the instrument’s 2,000 ppm physical range.
Unmodified, the corresponding output signal would also be recorded across only
25% of the range of the recording device.
The T360 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.

4.8.2. Reporting Range Modes
The T360 provides three analog output range modes to choose from.
Single range (SNGL) mode sets a single maximum range for the analog
output. If single range is selected (see Section 4.8.3) both outputs are

This is the default reporting range mode for the analyzer. In single range mode
both A1 and A2 are set to the same reporting range. This reporting range can be
any value between 50 ppm and 2 000 ppm.
While the two outputs always have the same reporting range, the span, signal
offset and scaling of their electronic signals may be configured for differently
(e.g., A1 = 0-10 V; A2 = 0-0.1 V). See Section 4.13.4 for instructions on
