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

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. Otherwise, it can be installed as a retrofit for each of the analog outputs. This
option converts the DC voltage analog output to a current signal with 0-20 mA output
current, which 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.
Figure 2-6 provides installation instructions and illustrates a sample configuration of one
current output combined with two voltage outputs. Next are instructions for converting
current loop analog outputs to standard 0-to-5 VDC outputs. To calibrate or adjust these
outputs use the Setup>Analog Outputs menu (Section 2.5.8).
CAUTION – Avoid Invalidating Warranty
Servicing or handling of circuit components requires electrostatic
discharge protection, i.e. ESD grounding straps, mats and
containers. Failure to use ESD protection when working with
electronic assemblies will void the instrument warranty. For
information on preventing ESD damage, refer to the manual,
Fundamentals of ESD, PN 04786, which can be downloaded from
our website at http://www.teledyne-api.com under Help Center >

To convert an output configured for current loop operation to the standard 0 to 5 VDC
output operation:
1. Turn off power to the analyzer.
2. If a recording device is connected to the output being modified, disconnect it.
3. Remove the top cover.
• Remove the set screw located in the top, center of the rear panel.
• Remove the screws fastening the top cover to the unit (one per side).
• Slide the cover back and lift the cover straight up.
4. Remove the screw holding the current loop option to the motherboard.
5. Disconnect the current loop option PCA from the appropriate connector on
the motherboard (see Figure 2-6).
6. Each connector, J19 and J23, requires two shunts. Place one shunt on the
two left most pins and the second shunt on the two adjacent pins (see
Figure 2-6).
7. Return the top cover to the analyzer and secure.
The analyzer can now have a voltage-sensing recording device attached to that output.
CONNECTING THE STATUS OUTPUTS (DIGITAL OUTPUTS)
The 12-pin STATUS connector allows the digital status outputs to report analyzer
conditions (configured through the Setup>Digital Outputs menu) via optically isolated
NPN transistors that sink up to 50 mA of DC current. These outputs can be used to 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 pin D (see Figure 2-7).
ATTENTION
COULD DAMAGE INSTRUMENT AND VOID WARRANTY
Most PLC’s 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

In each instrument with the Multidrop option there is a shunt jumpering two pins on the
serial Multidrop and LVDS printed circuit assembly (PCA), as shown in Figure 2-12. 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:
1. With NO power to the instrument, remove 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/LVDS PCA’s JP2 connector, remove the shunt that
jumpers Pins
21 ↔ 22 as indicated in. (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 2-12):
• J3 on the Multidrop/LVDS PCA to the CPU’s COM1 connector
(Be aware 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

The internal span gas generator and calibration valve option is intended for applications
where there is a need for frequent automated calibration checks without access to an
external source of span gas. (See the end of this subsection for important information about
“Internal Span Gas Generation”).
This valve package includes:
• an external scrubber filled with activated charcoal that removes SO2 in order to
produce zero air
• a heated enclosure for a permeation tube (This option package DOES NOT
contain an actual permeation tube. Contact Sales for assistance in specifying the
correct permeation tube for each application).
• one additional gas inlet port (ZERO AIR)
• one additional gas outlet port (FROM DRYER)
• two internal valves for switching between the sample gas inlet and the output of
the zero/span subsystem

The internal span gas generator utilizes an SO2 permeation tube as a span gas source (see
the “Internal Span Gas Generation” at the end of this section). The accuracy of these
devices is only about ±5%. Whereas this may be sufficient for frequent automated
calibration checks (Figure 2-21), we recommend using certified gases for precise
calibration (Figure 2-22).

In addition to tubing, pressure, venting, and exhaust requirements set out in Section 2.3.2.1,
attach the following pneumatic lines:
SAMPLE GAS SOURCE
Connect a sample gas line to the SAMPLE inlet, and:
• In applications where the sample gas is received from a pressurized manifold and the
analyzer is not equipped with one of the pressurized span options, a vent must be
placed on the sample gas line.
CALIBRATION GAS SOURCES
• Internal: Uses the IZS generator.
• External (for precision calibration): CAL GAS & ZERO AIR SOURCES: The source
of calibration gas is attached to the SAMPLE inlet.
VENTING
Vent the Sample line if input is pressurized.
INTERNAL SPAN GAS GENERATION
The primary component of the internal span option is a permeation tube containing liquid
As zero air is passed over a permeable membrane on the end of the tube, molecules of

slowly pass through the membrane mixing with the zero air. The speed at which the
SO
2
permeates the membrane is called the effusion rate.
SO
2
The resulting 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
the pressure inside the tube, thereby increasing the effusion).
• 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
(increasing the temperature of the permeation tube increases
2
).
2
The permeation tube enclosure is heated to a constant 50° C (10° above the maximum
operating temperature of the instrument) in order to keep the permeation rate constant. 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.
The flow rate of zero air across the permeation tube is maintained at 50 ± 10 cc/min by a
critical flow orifice located in the analyzer’s exhaust manifold.
Although the factors that influence the resulting span gas concentration can be kept at a
constant, they also can be manipulated, thereby impacting the concentration.

STARTUP, FUNCTIONAL CHECKS AND CALIBRATION
We recommend reading Section 6 to become familiar with the principles of operation.
50 Teledyne API T100 Analyzer with NumaView™ Software 083730100 DCN8060
When the instrument is first started (Section 2.3.4.1), check its functionality (Section
2.3.4.3) and run an initial calibration (Section 2.3.4.4). Section 2.4 introduces the menu
system, and Section 2.5 provides setup/customization instructions.
STARTUP
Upon initial startup, a sequence of status screens (Figure 2-28) appear prior to the Home
page (Figure 2-29).
Figure 2-28. Status Screens at Startup
Upon any startup, this instrument should warm up for approximately one hour before
reliable measurements can be taken.
Figure 2-29. Home Page Example
083730100 DCN8060 Teledyne API T100 SO2 Analyzer with NumaView™ Software 51
ALERTS: WARNINGS AND OTHER MESSAGES
Because internal temperatures and other conditions may be outside the specified limits
during the warm-up period, the software will suppress most Alerts for 30 minutes after
power up. The Alerts page (Figure 2-30) shows the status of any active warning conditions
or user-configured Events. (Section 2.4.3 provides more detailed information about Alerts,
and Section 2.5.2 addresses Events).
Alerts can be viewed and cleared via either the Alerts menu or the Alerts shortcut (Caution
symbol, bottom right corner of the screen). Although these alerts can be cleared from the
Active Alerts page, a history of all alerts remains in the Utilities>Alerts Log page.
Figure 2-30. Viewing Active Alerts Page
If alerts of warning conditions persist after the warm up period or after being cleared,
investigate their cause using the troubleshooting guidelines in Section 5.7.
52 Teledyne API T100 Analyzer with NumaView™ Software 083730100 DCN8060
FUNCTIONAL CHECKS
After warm-up, verify that the software properly supports any hardware options that are
installed (Setup>Instrument menu), and that the instrument is functioning within allowable
operating parameters. Check the Dashboard page against the instrument’s Final Test and
Validation Data sheet, which lists these values as they appeared before the instrument left
the factory.

Figure 2-31. Sample Dashboard Page
CALIBRATION
Before operation begins, the analyzer requires zero and span calibrations, and possibly
HVPS adjustment. Also, any time an analyzer is moved or its configuration changed, it
must be calibrated. The method for performing a calibration differs slightly depending on
whether or not any of the available internal zero air or valve options are installed. Follow
the appropriate calibration instructions presented in Section 4.

ALERTS
Alerts are notifications triggered by specific criteria having been met by either factorydefined conditions (standard and not editable) or user-defined Events (Section 2.5.2). The
Active Alerts page shows the status of any active warning conditions or Events that have
been triggered.
When Alerts are triggered, a caution symbol appears in both the Alerts menu tab and in the
bottom right corner of the software interface, which serves as a shortcut to the Alerts page
from any other page. View a list of currently active Alerts by pressing either the Alerts
menu on the Home screen or by pressing the Alerts shortcut (Figure 2-35).
While Alerts can be cleared from the Active Alerts page, they remain recorded in the

Do not exceed 60 V peak voltage between current loop
outputs and instrument ground.
These instructions assume that the Current Loop Option is installed (Section 2.3.1.4).
This
option places circuitry in series with the output of the D-to-A converter on the
motherboard that changes the normal DC voltage output to a 0-20 milliamp signal.
Adjusting the signal zero and span levels of the current loop output is done by raising or
lowering the voltage output of the D-to-A converter circuitry on the analyzer’s
motherboard. This raises or lowers the signal level produced by the current loop option
circuitry.
The software allows this adjustment to be made in 100, 10 or 1 count increments. Since
the exact amount by which the current signal is changed per D-to-A count varies from
output-to-output and instrument–to–instrument, you will need to measure the change in the
signal levels with a separate, current meter placed in series with the output circuit. See
Figure 2-5 for pin assignments and diagram of the analog output connector.
CAUTION!
Figure 2-55. Setup for Checking / Calibration Current Output Signal Levels
An alternate method for measuring the output of the Current Loop converter is to connect
a 250 ohm ±1% resistor across the current loop output in lieu of the current meter (see
Figure 2-5 for pin assignments and diagram of the analog output connector). This allows
the use of a voltmeter connected across the resistor to measure converter output as VDC or
mVDC.

Set the data bits to 7 or 8 (typically set in conjunction with Parity and Stop bits).
Enable/disable character echoing and line editing.
Choose SOFTWARE handshaking for data flow control (do NOT use
SOFTWARE handshaking mode when using MODBUS RTU for Protocol mode;
select only HARDWARE or OFF for MODBUS RTU),
or HARDWARE for CTS/RTS style hardwired transmission handshaking. (This
style of data transmission handshaking is commonly used with modems or
terminal emulation protocols).
Or choose to turn OFF handshaking.
Enable/disable hardware error checking.
Enable/disable the hardware First In – First Out (FIFO) for improving data transfer
rate for that COM port.
Select either a modem connection or a direct cable connection.
Input an initialization string to enable the modem to communicate.
Enable/disable multidrop mode for multi-instrument configuration on a single
communications channel. Multidrop requires a unique ID for each instrument in
the chain (Setup>Vars>Instrument ID).
Select odd, or even, or no parity (typically set in conjunction with Data Bits and
Stop Bits).
Select among the communications protocols: TAPI, Hessen, MODBUS RTU, or
MODBUS ASCII (MODBUS: Section 3.4.1; Hessen: Section 3.4.2).
Enable/disable Quiet mode, which suppresses any feedback from the analyzer
(such as Alerts) to the remote device and is typically used when the port is
communicating with a computer program where such intermittent messages might
cause communication problems.
Such feedback is still available, but a command must be issued to receive them.
Enable/disable the rear panel COM2 Port for RS-485 communication. RS-485
mode has precedence over Multidrop mode if both are enabled. Also, RS-485
configuration disables the rear panel USB port.
Enable/disable the requirement for a password for this serial port to respond. The
only command that is active is the request-for-help command (? CR).
Select either 0 or 1 stop bit (typically set in conjunction with Parity and Data bits).

3. COMMUNICATIONS AND REMOTE OPERATION
This instrument’s rear panel connections include an Ethernet port, a USB port (option) and
two serial communications ports labeled RS232, which is the COM1 port in the software
menu, and COM2 (refer to Figure 2-2). These ports allow the ability to communicate with,
issue commands to, and receive data from the analyzer through an external computer
system or terminal. Connection instructions were provided in Section 2.3.1.8.
Configuration information was provided in Section 2.5.10.
This section provides pertinent information regarding communication equipment, the
communications ports, and communications protocol. Data acquisition is set up through
the Datalogger (Section 2.5.1).
DATA TERMINAL/COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT (DTE DCE)
RS-232 was developed for allowing communications between data terminal equipment
(DTE) and data communication equipment (DCE). Basic terminals always fall into the
DTE category whereas modems are always considered DCE devices. The difference
between the two is the pin assignment of the Data Receive and Data Transmit functions.
• DTE devices receive data on pin 2 and transmit data on pin 3.
• DCE devices receive data on pin 3 and transmit data on pin 2.
To allow the analyzer to be used with terminals (DTE), modems (DCE) and computers
(which can be either), a switch mounted below the serial ports on the rear panel, labeled
DCE DTE (Figure 2-2), allows the user to set the RS-232 configuration for one of these
two data devices. This switch exchanges the Receive and Transmit lines on RS-232
emulating a cross-over or null-modem cable. The switch has no effect on COM2.
MODES, BAUD RATE AND SERIAL COMMUNICATION
Referring to Table 2-17, use the SETUP>COMM menu to configure COM1 (labeled
RS232 on instrument rear panel) and/or COM2 (labeled COM2 on instrument rear panel)
for communication modes, baud rate and serial communications. If using a USB option
communication connection, setup requires that the instrument’s baud rate and personal
computer baud rate match.

SERIAL COMMUNICATION: RS-232
be used except for multidrop).
LED
FUNCTION
The RS232 and COM2 communications ports operate on the RS-232 protocol (default
configuration). Configurations possible for these two ports are:
• RS232 port can also be configured to operate in single or RS-232 Multidrop mode
(Option 62); refer to Section 2.3.1.8.
• COM2 port can be left in its default configuration for standard RS-232 operation
including multidrop, or it can be reconfigured for half-duplex RS-485 operation (please
contact the factory for this configuration).
Note
A code-activated switch (CAS), can also be used on either port to connect typically
between 2 and 16 send/receive instruments (host computer(s) printers, data loggers,
analyzers, monitors, calibrators, etc.) into one communications hub. Contact Teledyne API
Sales (front cover, this manual) for more information on CAS systems.
SERIAL COMMUNICATION: RS-485 (OPTION)
The COM2 port of the instrument’s rear panel is set up for RS-232 communication but can
be reconfigured for RS-485 communication. Contact Technical Support for reconfiguration
unless this option was elected at the time of purchase, then the rear panel was preconfigured
at the factory.
ETHERNET
When using the Ethernet interface, the analyzer can be connected to any standard 10BaseT
or 100BaseT Ethernet network via low-cost network hubs, switches or routers. The
interface operates as a standard TCP/IP device on port 3000. This allows a remote computer
to connect through the network to the analyzer using NumaView™ Remote, terminal
emulators or other programs.
When the rear panel COM2 port is in use, except for multidrop
communication, the rear panel USB port cannot be used.
(Alternatively, when the USB port is enabled, COM2 port cannot
The Ethernet connector has two LEDs that are on the connector itself, indicating its current
operating status.
The analyzer is shipped with DHCP enabled by default. This allows the instrument to be
connected to a network or router with a DHCP server; however, it should be configured
with a Static IP address as soon as practical. See Section 2.5.10.5 for configuration details.

COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOLS
MODBUS (Section 3.4.1) and Hessen (Section 3.4.2) are available with the analyzer.
MODBUS registers are provided in Appendix A.
MODBUS
These instructions assume that the user is familiar with MODBUS communications, and
provide minimal information to get started. Please refer to the Teledyne API MODBUS
manual, PN 06276, and to www.modbus.org for MODBUS communication protocols.
Minimum Requirements:
• Instrument firmware with MODBUS capabilities installed
• MODBUS-compatible software (TAPI uses MODBUS Poll for testing; see
www.modbustools.com)
• Personal computer with communications cable (Ethernet or USB or RS232), and
possibly a null modem adapter or cable
MODBUS COM PORT CONFIGURATION
MODBUS communications can be configured for transmission over Ethernet or serial
COM port through the Setup>Comm menu. Make the appropriate cable connections
(Ethernet or COM port) between the instrument and a PC.
Check the instrument’s Modbus Units selection in the Setup>Vars menu and edit if needed.

HESSEN
Hessen is a multidrop protocol, in which several remote instruments (slaves) are connected
via a common communications channel to a host computer. Slaves respond only to
commands sent by the host using their unique identification.
Important
Create a unique identification number for each instrument in
the multidrop chain via the Setup>Vars>Instrument ID menu.
The Hessen protocol is not strictly defined; therefore, while Teledyne API’s application is
completely compatible with the protocol itself, it may be different from implementations
by other companies.
HESSEN COM PORT CONFIGURATION
Configure the COM1/COM2 port for Hessen protocol through the
Setup>Comm>COM1[COM2] menu: select COM1[COM2] Protocol and press Edit to
select HESSEN, then press Accept.
Ensure that the communication parameters of the host computer are also properly set.

Note
84 Teledyne API T100 Analyzer with NumaView™ Software 083730100 DCN8060
The instrument software has a 200 ms latency period before it
responds to commands issued by the host computer. This latency
should present no problems, but be mindful of issuing commands
to the instrument too frequently.

HESSEN VARIATION
For the Hessen Variation setting, there are two versions.
• TYPE 1 is the original implementation.
• TYPE 2 has more flexibility when operating with instruments that can measure more
than one type of gas. For more specific information about the difference between the
two versions, download the Manual Addendum for Hessen Protocol from the
Teledyne API's web site: http://www.teledyne-api.com/manuals/

HESSEN STATUS FLAGS
Locate the various status flags in the Hessen Settings list and edit as needed. They are listed
by status flag name with their default bit assignments. (Those with unassigned flags are
listed as “0x0000”).
• The status bits are included in the instrument’s responses to inform the host computer
of its condition. Each bit can be assigned to one operational and warning message
flag.
• It is possible to assign more than one flag to the same Hessen status bit. This allows
the grouping of similar flags, such as all temperature warnings, under the same status
bit.
• Assigning conflicting flags to the same bit will cause each status bit to be triggered if
any of the assigned flags is active.
This is the default setting. Reponses from the instrument are encoded as the
traditional command format. Style and format of responses depend on exact
coding of the initiating command.
Responses from the instrument are always delimited with <STX> (at the
beginning of the response, <ETX> (at the end of the response followed by a 2
digit Block Check Code (checksum), regardless of the command encoding.
Responses from the instrument are always delimited with <CR> at the beginning
and the end of the string, regardless of the command encoding.

: contains important information you should know before calibrating the instrument.
SECTION 4.2 – Calibration Procedures: describes the procedure for manually checking
calibration and performing actual calibration of the instrument.
SECTION 4.3 – Automatic Zero/Span Cal/Check (Auto Cal): describes the procedure
for using the AutoCal feature to check calibration or to calibrate the instrument. (The
AutoCal feature requires that either the zero/span valve option or the internal span gas

the analyzer.
CALIBRATION REQUIREMENTS
The following equipment, supplies, and expendables are required for calibration:
• Zero-air source
• Span gas source
• Gas lines - all gas line materials should be Teflon-type or glass.
• Traceability Standards
Optional equipment: A recording device such as a strip-chart recorder and/or data logger
should be used to record data from the T100’s serial or analog outputs. If analog readings
are used, the response of the recording system should be checked against a NIST traceable
voltage source or meter. Data recording device should be capable of bi-polar operation so
that negative readings can be recorded. For electronic documentation, the internal data
acquisition system (DAS) can be used by configuring the Datalogger through the
Setup>Data Logging menu; Section 2.5.1).
88 Teledyne API T100 Analyzer with NumaView™ Software 083730100 DCN8060
The method for performing an initial calibration for the analyzer differs between the
Zero air and span gases must be supplied at 1.5 to 2 times the
standard instrument and those with options.
• See Section 4.2.1 for instructions for initial calibration of the analyzer in its base
configuration.
• See Section 4.2.2 for information regarding setup and calibration of the analyzer with
Z/S Valve options.
Note
instrument’s specified gas flow rate. Therefore, the zero and span
gases should be supplied to their respective inlets in excess of
1000 cc/min.
ZERO AIR
Zero air is similar in chemical composition to the Earth’s atmosphere but scrubbed of all
components that might affect the analyzer’s readings. For SO

Devices such as the API Model 701 zero air generator that condition ambient air by drying
and removal of pollutants are available. We recommend this type of device for generating
zero air.
CALIBRATION (SPAN) GAS
Span gas is specifically mixed to match the chemical composition of the gas being
measured at about 80% of the desired full measurement range. For example, if the
measurement range is 500 ppb, the span gas should have an SO
400 ppb.
Span gases should be certified to a specific accuracy to ensure accurate calibration of the
analyzer. Typical gas accuracy for SO
gases is 1 or 2 %.

Teledyne API offers an IZS option operating with permeation devices. The accuracy of
these devices is about ±5%. Whereas this may be sufficient for quick, daily calibration

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
such as a Teledyne API Model T700. This type 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.

PHYSICAL RANGE MEASUREMENTS
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, which then becomes a data
resolution challenge where the reported measurement may be barely perceptible. The
software rectifies this challenge when the user defines the portion of the physical range
relevant to the specific application, which the software then uses to scale the reporting
range and accurately display the concentration(s).
To define the physical range for applications requiring greater resolution and sensitivity,
navigate to the Setup>Vars menu and select Max Concentration Range; press the edit
button and input the maximum value expected for the SO
concentrations.

PERMEATION TUBE OPTIONS
Teledyne API offers an optional internal span gas generator that utilizes a permeation tube
as a span gas source (see Section 2.3.2.5). The accuracy of these devices is only about ±5%.
Whereas this may be sufficient for quick, daily calibration checks, we recommend using
certified SO
span gases for accurate calibration.
2
CAUTION!
Insufficient gas flow allows gas to build up to levels that will
contaminate the instrument or present a safety hazard to
personnel.
In units with a permeation tube installed, either the tube must
be removed and stored in a sealed container (use original
container that tube was shipped in) during periods of nonoperation, or a vacuum pump must be connected and
powered on to maintain constant gas flow though the
analyzer at all times.
DATA RECORDING DEVICES
A strip chart recorder, data acquisition system or digital data acquisition system should be
used to record data from either the Ethernet, serial or analog outputs.
• If analog readings are used, the response of the recording system should be checked
against a NIST traceable voltage source or meter.
• Data recording devices should be capable of bi-polar operation so that negative
readings can be recorded.
For electronic data recording, the analyzers provide an internal data logger, which is
configured through the Setup>Data Logger menu (Section 2.5.1).
NumaView™ Remote is a remote control program, which is also available as a convenient
and powerful tool for data handling, download, storage, quick check and plotting.

When the contacts are closed for at least 5 seconds, the instrument switches into zero, low
span or high span mode and the internal zero/span valves will be automatically switched
to the appropriate configuration.
• The remote calibration contact closures may be activated in any order.
• It is recommended that contact closures remain closed for at least 10 minutes to
establish a reliable reading.
• The instrument will stay in the selected mode for as long as the contacts remain
closed.

If contact closures are being used in conjunction with the analyzer’s AutoCal (see Section
4.3) feature and the AutoCal attribute “Calibrate” is enabled (selection box is checked), the
analyzer will not recalibrate the analyzer UNTIL the contact is opened. At this point, the
new calibration values will be recorded before the instrument returns to SAMPLE mode.
If the AutoCal attribute “Calibrate” is disabled (selection box is unchecked), the instrument
will return to SAMPLE mode, leaving the instrument’s internal calibration variables
unchanged.
AUTOMATIC ZERO/SPAN CAL/CHECK (AUTO CAL)
The Auto Cal feature allows unattended periodic operation of the ZERO/SPAN valve
options by using the instrument’s internal time of day clock. Auto Cal operates by
executing preprogrammed calibrations or calibration checks set up by the user to initiate
the various calibration states of the analyzer and to open and close valves appropriately. It
is possible to set up and run up to three separate preprogrammed calibrations or calibration
checks (labeled # 1, 2 and 3). Each calibration or check can operate in one of three modes
(Zero, Low or High), or be disabled.
Table 4-1 and Table 4-2 show how to set up the operating states of each calibration or
check, and Table 4-3 shows how to program the execution of each.
