Attach the 1/4" exhaust line to the EXHAUST port of the analyzer and to the inlet port of the pump. 42 07266B DCN6485 Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Getting Started 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 analyzer. The vented 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 cc3/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 H2S, measurements made with the Model T101 UV Fluorescence H2S Analyzer it is recommended that you use a span gas with a H2S concentration equal to 90% of the measurement range for your application. EXAMPLE: If the application is to measure between 0 ppb and 500 ppb, an appropriate span gas concentration would be 450 ppb H2S in air. Cylinders of calibrated H2S gas traceable to NIST-Standard Reference Material 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 H2S. 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 H2S gas of higher concentration in conjunction with a gas dilution calibrator such 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. 07266B DCN6485 43 Getting Started Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Table 3-9.

If your analyzer is equipped with an 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. 44 07266B DCN6485 Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Getting Started 3.4.1.1.

Sources of zero and span gas flow must be capable of supplying at least 600 cm3/min. 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. INTERNAL ZERO/SPAN (IZS) VALVE GAS FLOW The T101 can be equipped with an internal zero air and span gas generator (IZS). This option includes a heated enclosure for a permeation tube for containing the calibration gas under high pressure (not included; H2S perm tubes can be ordered from Teledyne API; SO2 perm tubes must be ordered from a manufacturer), an external scrubber for producing 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 cm3/min. 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. 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 H2S permeates the membrane is called the 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. 07266B DCN6485 47 Getting Started Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual 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 H2S. The T101 usually has a constant 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. 48 07266B DCN6485 Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Getting Started INSTRUMENT CHASSIS KIC KER EXH AUST TO PU MP MOLYBD ENU M C ON VERTER PUMP SAMPLE GAS INL ET SO2 H2S SO 2 Scr ubber Ga s Fl ow wh en mu ltig as v ersio n of EXHA UST GAS OUTL ET Anal yzer is me asuri ng SO 2.

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 navigating the analyzer’s software menus, see the menu trees 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. The analyzer should automatically switch to Sample Mode after completing the boot-up sequence and start monitoring H2S 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. 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. If warning messages persist after 60 minutes, investigate their cause using the troubleshooting guidelines in Section 9. The following table includes a brief description of the various warning messages that may appear. 50 07266B DCN6485 Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Getting Started Table 3-12.

INITIAL CALIBRATION 3.6.1. BASIC CALIBRATION PROCEDURE The following three-step procedure assumes that the instrument does not have any of the available zero/span (Z/S) or IZS valve options installed. Section 6 contains instructions for calibrating instruments with valve options. The initial calibration should be carried out with the analyzer’s reporting range for SINGLE range mode with a range span of 500 PPB (factory default settings for most units). This will enable you to compare your results to the factory calibration.

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 H2S into SO2 and measures the UV fluorescence of the SO2, the most common source of interference is from other gases that fluoresce in a similar fashion to SO2, when exposed to UV Light 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. NOTE Once you have completed the above set-up procedures, please fill out the quality questionnaire that was shipped with your unit and return it to Teledyne API. This information is vital to our efforts in continuously improving our service and our products. Thank you. . 56 07266B DCN6485 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 an 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 H2S 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: Table 4-1. Analyzer Operating Modes MODE DIAG DESCRIPTION One of the analyzer’s diagnostic modes is active (Section 4.6). M-P CAL This is the basic calibration mode of the instrument and is activated by pressing the CAL button. SAMPLE Sampling normally, flashing text indicates adaptive filter is on.

Viewing and Clearing T101 WARNING Messages 4.3. CALIBRATION MODE Pressing the CAL button switches the T101 into multi-point calibration mode. In this mode, the user can calibrate the instrument or check the instrument’s calibration with the use of calibrated zero or span gases. If the instrument includes either the zero/span valve option or IZS option, the display will also include CALZ and CALS buttons. Pressing either of these buttons also puts the instrument into multipoint calibration mode. The CALZ button is used to initiate a calibration of the zero point. The CALS button is used to calibrate the span point of the analyzer. It is recommended that this span calibration is performed at 90% of full scale of the analyzer’s currently selected reporting range. Because of their critical importance and complexity, calibration operations are described in Section 6 of this manual. 4.3.1. CALIBRATION PASSWORD SECURITY The T101 calibration functions may be password protected for to prevent inadvertent adjustments.

Available Analog Output Signals The analyzer has three active analog output signals, accessible through a connector on the rear panel. ANALOG OUT H2 S/SO2 concentration outputs Not Used Test Channel + A1 - LOW range when DUAL mode is selected + A2 - A3 + - A4 + - HIGH range when DUAL mode is selected Figure 4-3. Analog Output Connectors Defined 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). In its basic configuration, the A1 and A2 channels of the T101 output a signal that is proportional to the H2S concentration of the sample gas. Several operating modes are available which allow them to be slaved together (SNGL Mode, see Section 4.4.4.4 or 66 07266B DCN6485 Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Operating Instructions 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 representing 0-1000 ppm concentration values A2 OUTPUT: Output Signal = 0 – 10 VDC representing 0-500 ppm concentration values. NOTE On analyzers with the SO2-H2S multigas measurement option installed the outputs of A1 and A2 correspond to: Output Channel A1 A2 SO2 Mode SO2 SO2 SO2 – H2S Mode SO2 H2S H2 S Mode H2S H2S As the instrument switches from H2S mode to SO2 mode and back, only the reporting range and analog output associated with the gas currently being measured will be active. The reporting range and analog output for the gas no being measured will continue to report the last valid reading. The output, labeled A4 is special. It can be set by the user (see Section 4.6.9) to output many of the parameters accessible through the buttons of the units Sample Display. Output A3 is not available on the Model T101 Analyzer. 4.4.4.2. Physical Range versus Analog Output Reporting Ranges The T101 UV Fluorescence H2S Analyzer has two hardware physical ranges that cover H2S concentrations between 0 and 20,000 ppb. The low range is 0 to 2,000 ppb, while the 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 SOx is typically less than 500 ppb, the full scale of expected values is 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. 07266B DCN6485 67 Operating Instructions Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual 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 SO2/H2S multigas measurement option and if so which measurement mode is selected. Single range (SNGL) mode: This mode sets a single maximum range for the analog output. If single range is selected (see Section 4.4.4.4) 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 differently (e.g. 0-10 VDC vs. 0-.1 VDC – see Section 4.6.3.1). In SO2/H2S multigas measurement mode, although the two inputs are measuring different gases, the two measurements scales are identical. Independent range (IND) mode: This mode allows the A1 and A2 outputs to be configured with different measurement spans (see Section 4.4.4.5) as well as separate electronic signal levels (see Section 4.6.3.1) and, if the instrument is equipped with the SO2/H2S multigas measurement option, different gas measurements. Auto range (AUTO) mode: As in single range mode, both outputs are slaved together and will represent the same measurement span; however this mode gives the analyzer the ability switch to automatically switch between the two user selected ranges (High and Low). This switching occurs dynamically as the concentration value fluctuates. High/low range status is output via the External Digital I/O Status Bits (see Section 5.1.1.1). To select the Analog Output Range Type press: SAMPLE RANGE = 500.0 PPB < TST TST > CAL SAMPLE 8 H2S =XXX.X SETUP ENTER SETUP PASS : 818 1 8 ENTR EXIT SETUP X.X RANGE CONTROL MENU SETUP X.X MODE SET UNIT CFG DAS RNGE PASS CLK MORE SETUP X.X Only one of the range modes may be active at any time. 68 EXIT EXIT SNGL IND AUTO RANGE MODE: SNGL ENTR EXIT EXIT Returns to the Main SAMPLE Display 07266B DCN6485 Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Operating Instructions 4.4.4.4. Single Range Mode (SNGL) 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 = 0-0.1 V). To select SNGLE range mode and to set the upper limit of the range, press: SAMPLE RANGE = 500.0 PPB H2S =XXX.X < TST TST > CAL SAMPLE 8 SETUP SETUP C.3 ENTER SETUP PASS : 818 1 SETUP C.3 ENTR EXIT 8 SETUP C.3 SETUP C.3 SNGL IND EXIT RANGE CONTROL MENU MODE SET UNIT RANGE MODE: SNGL MODE SET UNIT 0 0 EXIT RANGE: 500.0 Conc 5 SETUP C.3 ENTR EXIT ENTR EXIT RANGE CONTROL MENU SETUP C.3 EXIT AUTO AUTO SETUP C.3 PRIMARY SETUP MENU CFG DAS RNGE PASS CLK MORE SNGL IND RANGE MODE: SNGL MODE SET UNIT 0 0 .0 ENTR EXIT RANGE CONTROL MENU EXIT EXIT x 2 returns to the main SAMPLE display NOTE On analyzers with the multigas option activated (see Sections 4.5.1 and 6.8) the concentration value will switch back and forth between from “H2S=XXX.X” to “SO2=XXX.X” depending on which gas is currently being measured. 07266B DCN6485 69 Operating Instructions Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual 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. LOW range = RANGE1 = Range value for output A1 = 0-1500 ppb H2S. HIGH range = RANGE2 = Range value for output A2 = 0-500 ppb H2S. For T101’s configured to measure both SO2 and H2S in multigas measurement mode: LOW range = RANGE1 = Range value for output A1= 0-1500 ppm SO2. HIGH range = RANGE2 = Range value for output A2 =0-1000 ppm H2S.

The reporting range and analog output for the gas no being measured will continue to report the last valid reading. 4.4.4.6. Auto Range Mode (AUTO) In AUTO range mode, the analyzer automatically switches the reporting range between two user-defined ranges (low and high). The unit will switch from low range to high range when the H2S concentration exceeds 98% of the low range span. The unit will return from high range back to low range once both the H2S concentration falls below 75% of the low range span. When set up to measure a single gas (H2S or SO2), in AUTO Range mode the instrument reports the same data in the same range on both the A1 and A2 outputs and automatically switches both outputs between ranges as described above. To select auto range mode and set the upper span limits for the high and low ranges, press the following menu button sequence.

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 sure: 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.

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.

Manual Analog Output Calibration and Voltage Adjustment For highest accuracy, the voltages of the analog outputs can be manually calibrated. Calibration is done through the instrument software with a voltmeter connected across the output terminals (Figure 4-4). Adjustments are made using the front panel buttons by setting the zero-point first and then the span-point (Table 4-13).

Analog Output Offset Adjustment 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: FROM ANALOG I/O CONFIGURATION MENU DIAG ANALOG I / O CONFIGURATION PREV NEXT DIAG AIO DIAG AIO DIAG AIO EXIT Press SET> to select the analog output channel to be configured.

Current Loop Output Adjustment 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 options on the “Output Range” menu. 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. 92 07266B DCN6485 Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Operating Instructions 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). See Table 3-2 for pin assignments of the Analog Out connector on the rear panel. mA IN OUT I OUT + I IN + I OUT - I IN - Recording Device Analyzer Figure 4-5.

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.

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.

LAMP CALIBRATION An important factor in accurately determining H2S concentration, once the H2S is converted to SO2, is the amount of UV light available to transform the SO2 into SO2* (see Sections 10.1.1 and 10.1.2). The Model T101 compensates for variations in the intensity of the available UV light by adjusting the H2S concentration calculation using a ratio (LAMP RATIO)that results from dividing the current UV lamp (UV LAMP) intensity by a value stored in the CPU’s memory (LAMP_CAL). Both LAMP Ratio and UV Lamp are test functions viewable from the instrument’s front panel.

SETUP – COMM: SETTING UP THE ANALYSER’S COMMUNICATION PORTS For remote operation the T101 is equipped with an Ethernet port, a USB port and two serial communication (com) ports located on the rear panel. Both com ports (labeled RS232, which is the COM1 port, and COM2) operate similarly and give the user the ability to communicate with, issue commands to, and receive data from the analyzer through an external computer system or terminal. By default, both ports operate on the RS-232 protocol. The RS232 port can also be configured to operate in single or RS-232 Multidrop mode (Option 62). The COM2 port can be left in its default configuration for standard RS-232 operation, or reconfigured for half-duplex RS-485 operation; (contact the factory for configuration information). When COM2 is configured for RS-485 communication, the rear panel USB port is disabled. 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’s Sales for more information on CAS systems. 4.7.1. INSTRUMENT ID Each type of Teledyne API’s analyzer is configured with a default ID code. The default ID code for all T101 analyzers is either “0” or 101. The ID number is only important if more than one analyzer is connected to the same communications channel such as when several analyzers are on the same Ethernet LAN, in a RS-232 Multidrop chain, or operating over a RS-485 network. If two analyzers of the same model type are used on one channel, the ID codes of one or both of the instruments needs to be changed so that they are unique to the instruments. 07266B DCN6485 103 Operating Instructions Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual To edit the instrument’s ID code, press: SAMPLE RANGE = 500.0 PPB H2S =XXX.X < TST TST > CAL SAMPLE 8 SETUP X.X SETUP ENTER SETUP PASS : 818 1 ENTR EXIT 8 PRIMARY SETUP MENU CFG DAS RNGE PASS CLK MORE EXIT Toggle these buttons to cycle through the available character set: 0-9 SETUP X.X COMMUNICATIONS MENU ID HESN EXIT COM1 SETUP X. 0 1 COM2 ENTR accepts the new settings MACHINE ID: 100 ID 0 1 ENTR EXIT EXIT ignores the new settings The ID can be any 4 digit number and can also be used to identify analyzers in any number of ways (e.g. location numbers, company asset number, etc.) 104 07266B DCN6485 Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Operating Instructions 4.7.2. COM PORT DEFAULT SETTINGS As received from the factory, the analyzer is set up to emulate a DCE or modem, with pin 3 of the DB-9 connector designated for receiving data and pin 2 designated for sending data. RS232: RS-232 (fixed), DB-9 male connector. o Baud rate: 115200 bits per second (baud). o Data Bits: 8 data bits with 1 stop bit. o Parity: None. COM2: RS-232 (configurable), DB-9 female connector. o Baud rate: 19200 bits per second (baud). o Data Bits: 8 data bits with 1 stop bit. o Parity: None. CAUTION Cables that appear to be compatible because of matching connectors may incorporate internal wiring that make the link inoperable. Check cables acquired from sources other than Teledyne API for pin assignments before using. 4.7.3. RS-232 COM PORT CABLE CONNECTIONS In its default configuration, the T101 analyzer has two available RS-232 Com ports accessible via 2 DB-9 connectors on the back panel of the instrument. The COM1 connector is a male DB-9 connector and the COM2 is a female DB9 connector. Figure 4-7. Rear Panel Connector Pin-Outs for RS-232 Mode 07266B DCN6485 105 Operating Instructions Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual The signals from these two connectors are routed from the motherboard via a wiring harness to two 10-pin connectors on the CPU card, J11 and J12. Figure 4-8. CPU Connector Pin-Outs for RS-232 Mode Teledyne API offers two mating cables, one of which should be applicable for your use. Part number WR000077, a DB-9 female to DB-9 female cable, 6 feet long. Allows connection of COM1 with the serial port of most personal computers. Part number WR000024, a DB-9 female to DB-25 male cable. Allows connection to the most common styles of modems (e.g. Hayescompatible) and code activated switches. Both cables are configured with straight-through wiring and should require no additional adapters. To assist in properly connecting the serial ports to either a computer or a modem, there are activity indicators just above the COM1 port. Once a cable is connected between the analyzer and a computer or modem, both the red and green LEDs should be on. If the lights for COM 1 are not lit, use small switch on the rear panel to switch it between DTE and DCE modes (see Section 4.7.5). If both LEDs are still not illuminated, check the cable for proper wiring. The two LEDs located over COM2 are currently deactivated. If you have problems getting COM2 to activate, it may be necessary to install a null-modem cable (contact Technical Support for information). 106 07266B DCN6485 Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Operating Instructions 4.7.4. RS-485 CONFIGURATION As delivered from the factory, COM2 is configured for RS-232 communications. This port can be re-configured for operation as a non-isolated, half-duplex RS-485 port capable of supporting up to 32 instruments with a maximum distance between the host and the furthest instrument being 4000 feet. However, with the RS-485 configuration the USB comm port is disabled. If you require full-duplex or isolated operation, please contact Teledyne API’s Technical Support. 4.7.5. DTE AND DCE COMMUNICATION 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 allows the user to set the configuration of COM1 for one of these two modes. This switch exchanges the receive and transmit lines on COM1 emulating a cross-over or null-modem cable. The switch has no effect on COM2. 4.7.6. ETHERNET CONFIGURATION For network or Internet communication, 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 internet to the analyzer using APICOM, terminal emulators or other programs. The Ethernet cable connector on the rear panel has two LEDs indicating the Ethernet’s current operating status. Table 4-16. Ethernet Status Indicators LED FUNCTION amber (link) On when connection to the LAN is valid. green (activity Flickers during any activity on the LAN. 4.7.6.1. Configuring the Ethernet Interface Using DHCP 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. Consult with your network administrator to affirm that your network server is running DHCP. If so, the instrument 07266B DCN6485 107 Operating Instructions Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual will automatically be assigned an IP address by the DHCP server (Section 4.10.6.2). This configuration is useful for quickly getting an instrument up and running on a network. However, for permanent Ethernet connections, a static IP address should be used. Section 4.7.6.2 below details how to configure the instrument with a static IP address. NOTE It is a good idea to check these settings the first time you power up your analyzer after it has been physically connected to the LAN/Internet to make sure that the DHCP has successfully downloaded the appropriate information from you network server(s). If the gateway IP, instrument IP and the subnet mask are all zeroes (e.g. “0.0.0.0”), the DCHP was not successful. You may have to manually configure the analyzer’s Ethernet properties. See your network administrator.

Manually Configuring the Ethernet with Static IP Addresses 1. Connect a cable from the analyzer’s Ethernet port to a Local Area Network (LAN) or Internet port. 2. Access Ethernet configuration through: SETUP>MORE>COMM>INET. 3. Follow the setup sequence as shown in the illustrations that follow, and edit the Instrument and Gateway IP addresses and Subnet Mask to the desired settings. (From the computer, enter the same information through an application such as HyperTerminal). Table 4-17. LAN/Internet Default Configuration Properties PROPERTY DHCP INSTRUMENT IP ADDRESS DEFAULT STATE ON 0.0.0.0 DESCRIPTION This displays whether the DHCP is turned ON or OFF. Press EDIT and toggle ON for automatic configuration after first consulting network administrator. This string of four packets of 1 to 3 numbers each (e.g. 192.168.76.55.) is the address of the analyzer itself. Can only be edited when DHCP is set to OFF. GATEWAY IP ADDRESS 0.0.0.0 A string of numbers very similar to the Instrument IP address (e.g. 192.168.76.1.) that is the address of the computer used by your LAN to access the Internet. Can only be edited when DHCP is set to OFF. SUBNET MASK TCP PORT1 HOST NAME 1 0.0.0.0 3000 T101 Also a string of four packets of 1 to 3 numbers each (e.g. 255.255.252.0) that identifies the LAN to which the device is connected. All addressable devices and computers on a LAN must have the same subnet mask. Any transmissions sent to devices with different subnets are assumed to be outside of the LAN and are routed through the gateway computer onto the Internet. This number defines the terminal control port by which the instrument is addressed by terminal emulation software, such as Internet or Teledyne API’s APICOM. The name by which your analyzer will appear when addressed from other computers on the LAN or via the Internet. To change, see Section 4.7.6.3. Do not change the setting for this property unless instructed to by Teledyne API’s Technical Support personnel. 07266B DCN6485 109 Operating Instructions SAMPLE RANGE = 500.0 PPB Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual H2S =XXX.X < TST TST > CAL SAMPLE 8 SETUP ENTER SETUP PASS : 818 1 SETUP X.X 8 ENTR EXIT EXIT COMMUNICATIONS MENU INET COM1 COM2 SETUP X.X DHCP: ON EDIT OFF (continues in next illustration) EXIT EXIT DHCP: ON ENTR EXIT ON SETUP X.X SECONDARY SETUP MENU COMM VARS DIAG ID SETUP X.X PRIMARY SETUP MENU CFG DAS RNGE PASS CLK MORE SETUP X.X EXIT SETUP X.X DHCP: OFF ENTR EXIT ENTR accept new settings EXIT ignores new settings 110 07266B DCN6485 Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Operating Instructions Configure the INSTRUMENT IP, GATEWAY IP and SUBNET MASK addresses: Internet Configuration Touchscreen Functions (Continued from preceding illustration) BUTTON FUNCTION Press to cycle through the range of numerals and available characters (“0 – 9” & “ . ”) [0] SETUP X.X DHCP: OFF SET> EDIT SETUP X.X EXIT Moves the cursor one character left or right.

USB CONFIGURATION The analyzer can be operated through a personal computer by downloading the TAPI USB driver and directly connecting their respective USB ports. 1. Install the Teledyne T-Series USB driver on your computer, downloadable from the Teledyne API website under Help Center>Software Downloads (www.teledyneapi.com/software). 2. Run the installer file: “TAPIVCPInstaller.exe” 3. Connect the USB cable between the USB ports on your personal computer and your analyzer. The USB cable should be a Type A – Type B cable, commonly used as a USB printer cable. 4. Determine the Windows XP Com Port number that was automatically assigned to the USB connection. (Start → Control Panel → System → Hardware → Device Manager). This is the com port that should be set in the communications software, such as APIcom or Hyperterminal. Refer to the Quick Start (Direct Cable Connection) section of the Teledyne APIcom Manual, PN 07463. 114 07266B DCN6485 Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Operating Instructions 5. In the instrument’s SETUP>MORE>COMM>COM2 menu, make the following settings: Baud Rate: 115200 COM2 Mode Settings: Quiet Mode ON Computer Mode ON MODBUS RTU OFF MODBUS ASCII OFF E,8,1 MODE OFF E,7,1 MODE OFF RS-485 MODE OFF SECURITY MODE OFF MULTIDROP MODE OFF ENABLE MODEM OFF ERROR CHECKING ON XON/XOFF HANDSHAKE OFF HARDWARE HANDSHAKE OFF HARDWARE FIFO ON COMMAND PROMPT OFF 6. Next, configure your communications software, such as APIcom. Use the COM port determined in Step 4 and the baud rate set in Step 5. The figures below show how these parameters would be configured in the Instrument Properties window in APIcom when configuring a new instrument. See the APIcom manual (PN 07463) for more details. NOTE USB configuration requires that the baud rates of the instrument and the PC match; check the PC baud rate and change if needed. Using the USB port disallows use of the rear panel COM2 port except for multidrop communication. 07266B DCN6485 115 Operating Instructions Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual After connecting a USB cable between your PC and the instrument, ensure their baud rates match (change the baud rate setting for either your PC’s software or the instrument). The baud rate setting is in the Communications Menu under COM2, which is the default setup menu for USB configuration. Also, while there are various communication modes available (Table 4-18), the default settings are recommended for USB, except to change the baud rate if required.. 4.7.8. MULTIDROP RS-232 SET UP 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 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. CAUTION Printed Circuit Assemblies (PCAs) are sensitive to electro-static discharges 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 Section 13 for more information on preventing ESD damage.. 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 4-9. 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 Figure 4-9. (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 4-9): 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 116 07266B DCN6485 Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Operating Instructions Figure 4-9. Jumper and Cables for Multidrop Mode Note If you are adding an instrument to the end of a previously configured chain, remove the shunt between Pins 21 22 of JP2 on the Multidrop/LVDS PCA in the instrument that was previously the last instrument in the chain. 4. Close the instrument. 5. Referring to Figure 4-10 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 rear panel of each analyzer, adjust the DCE DTE switch so that the green and the red LEDs (RX and TX) of the COM1 connector (labeled RS232) are both lit. (Ensure you are using the correct RS-232 cables internally wired specifically for RS-232 communication; see Table 1-1, “Communication Cables” and the preceding subsection, “RS-232 Connection”). 07266B DCN6485 117 Operating Instructions Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Female DB9 Host Male DB9 RS-232 port Analyzer Analyzer Analyzer Last Analyzer COM2 COM2 COM2 COM2 RS-232 RS-232 RS-232 RS-232 Ensure jumper is installed between JP2 pins 21 22 in last instrument of multidrop chain.

COM PORT COMMUNICATION MODES Each of the analyzer’s serial ports can be configured to operate in a number of different modes, which are listed in Table 4-18 and which can be combined by adding the Mode ID numbers. For example, quiet mode, computer mode and internet-enabled mode would carry a combined mode ID of 1, the standard configuration on the T101 COM2 port. Note that each COM port needs to be configured independently. Table 4-19. COMM Port Communication Modes MODE1 ID DESCRIPTION 1 Quiet mode suppresses any feedback from the analyzer (DAS reports, and warning messages) to the remote device and is typically used when the port is communicating with a computer program such as APICOM. Such feedback is still available but a command must be issued to receive them. COMPUTER 2 Computer mode inhibits echoing of typed characters and is used when the port is communicating with a computer program, such as APICOM. SECURITY 4 When enabled, the serial port requires a password before it will respond. The only command that is active is the help screen (? CR). QUIET HESSEN PROTOCOL 16 E, 7, 1 The Hessen communications protocol is used in some European countries. Teledyne API part number 02252 contains more information on this protocol. When turned on this mode switches the COMM port settings from 2048 No parity; 8 data bits; 1 stop bit to Even parity; 7 data bits; 1 stop bit RS-485 1024 Configures the COM2 Port for RS-485 communication. RS-485 mode has precedence over Multidrop mode if both are enabled. MULTIDROP PROTOCOL 32 Multidrop protocol allows a multi-instrument configuration on a single communications channel. Multidrop requires the use of instrument IDs. ENABLE MODEM 64 Enables to send a modem initialization string at power-up. Asserts certain lines in the RS-232 port to enable the modem to communicate. ERROR CHECKING2 128 Fixes certain types of parity errors at certain Hessen protocol installations. XON/XOFF HANDSHAKE2 256 Disables XON/XOFF data flow control also known as software handshaking. HARDWARE HANDSHAKE 8 HARDWARE FIFO2 512 COMMAND PROMPT 4096 Enables CTS/RTS style hardwired transmission handshaking. This style of data transmission handshaking is commonly used with modems or terminal emulation protocols as well as by Teledyne API’s APICOM software.

Number of Records The number of data records in the DAS is cumulative across all channels and parameters, filling about one megabyte of space on the disk-on-module; this means that the actual number of records is limited by the total number of parameters and channels and other settings in the DAS configuration. Every additional data channel (up to 20), parameter (up to 50 per channel), number of samples setting etc. will govern the maximum amount of data points. 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 button will disappear when trying to specify more than 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 07266B DCN6485 137 Operating Instructions Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual combined number of records would be exceeded. (For information regarding the maximum number of channels, parameters, and records and how to calculate the file size for each data channel, refer to the DAS manual downloadable from the TAPI website at http://www.teledyne-api.com/manuals/ under Special Manuals).

Refer to the next Section 4.12 for details on remote access to the T101 analyzer. Figure 4-12. APICOM User Interface for Configuring the DAS Once an 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 is included in the APICOM installation file, which can be downloaded at http://www.teledyneapi.com/software/apicom/. CAUTION – Avoid losing data and saved configurations. All data, parameters and channels will be replaced when uploading a DAS configuration script to the analyzer through its communication ports. Back up data and the original DAS configuration before attempting any DAS changes. 142 07266B DCN6485 Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Remote Operation 5. REMOTE OPERATION 5.1.1. REMOTE OPERATION USING THE EXTERNAL DIGITAL I/O 5.1.1.1. Status Outputs 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 (PLC’s). 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 D. NOTE 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 less than 50 mA. At 50 mA, the transistor will drop approximately 1.2V from its collector to emitter. The status outputs are accessed through a 12 pin connector on the analyzer’s rear panel labeled STATUS (see Figure 5-1).

REMOTE OPERATION USING THE EXTERNAL SERIAL I/O 5.1.2.1. Terminal Operating Modes The Model T101 can be remotely configured, calibrated or queried for stored data through the serial ports. As terminals and computers use different communication schemes, the analyzer supports two communicate modes specifically designed to interface with these two types of devices. 146 Computer mode is used when the analyzer is connected to a computer with a dedicated interface program such as APICOM. More information regarding APICOM can be found in later in this section or on the Teledyne API website at http://www.teledyne-api.com/software/apicom/. Interactive mode is used with a terminal emulation programs such as HyperTerminal or a “dumb” computer terminal. The commands that are used to operate the analyzer in this mode are listed in Table 5-3. 07266B DCN6485 Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Remote Operation 5.1.2.2. Help Commands in Terminal Mode Table 5-3. Terminal Mode Software Commands COMMAND Function Control-T Switches the analyzer to terminal mode (echo, edit). If mode flags 1 & 2 are OFF, the interface can be used in interactive mode with a terminal emulation program. Control-C Switches the analyzer to computer mode (no echo, no edit). CR (carriage return) A carriage return is required after each command line is typed into the terminal/computer. The command will not be sent to the analyzer to be executed until this is done. On personal computers, this is achieved by pressing the ENTER key. BS (backspace) Erases one character to the left of the cursor location. ESC (escape) Erases the entire command line. ? [ID] CR This command prints a complete list of available commands along with the definitions of their functionality to the display device of the terminal or computer being used. The ID number of the analyzer is only necessary if multiple analyzers are on the same communications line, such as the multi-drop setup. Control-C Pauses the listing of commands. Control-P Restarts the listing of commands. 07266B DCN6485 147 Remote Operation Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual 5.1.2.3. Command Syntax Commands are not case-sensitive and all arguments within one command (i.e. ID numbers, keywords, data values, etc.) must be separated with a space character. All Commands follow the syntax: X [ID] COMMAND Where X is the command type (one letter) that defines the type of command. Allowed designators are listed in Table 4-25 and Appendix A-6. [ID] is the analyzer identification number (Section 4.10.1.). Example: the Command “? 200” followed by a carriage return would print the list of available commands for the revision of software currently installed in the instrument assigned ID Number 200. COMMAND is the command designator: This string is the name of the command being issued (LIST, ABORT, NAME, EXIT, etc.). Some commands may have additional arguments that define how the command is to be executed. Press ? or refer to Appendix A6 for a list of available command designators. is a carriage return. All commands must be terminated by a carriage return (usually achieved by pressing the ENTER key on a computer). Table 5-4. Command Types COMMAND COMMAND TYPE C Calibration D Diagnostic L Logon T Test measurement V Variable W Warning 5.1.2.4. Data Types Data types consist of integers, hexadecimal integers, floating-point numbers, Boolean expressions and text strings. 148 Integer data are used to indicate integral quantities such as a number of records, a filter length, etc. They consist of an optional plus or minus sign, followed by one or more digits. For example, +1, -12, 123 are all valid integers. Hexadecimal integer data are used for the same purposes as integers. They consist of the two characters “0x,” followed by one or more 07266B DCN6485 Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Remote Operation hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F, a-f), which is the ‘C’ programming language convention. No plus or minus sign is permitted. For example, 0x1, 0x12, 0x1234abcd are all valid hexadecimal integers. Floating-point numbers are used to specify continuously variable values such as temperature set points, time intervals, warning limits, voltages, etc. They consist of an optional plus or minus sign, followed by zero or more digits, an optional decimal point, and zero or more digits. (At least one digit must appear before or after the decimal point.) Scientific notation is not permitted. For example, +1.0, 1234.5678, -0.1, 1 are all valid floating-point numbers. Boolean expressions are used to specify the value of variables or I/O signals that may assume only two values. They are denoted by the keywords ON and OFF. Text strings are used to represent data that cannot be easily represented by other data types, such as data channel names, which may contain letters and numbers. They consist of a quotation mark, followed by one or more printable characters, including spaces, letters, numbers, and symbols, and a final quotation mark. For example, “a”, “1”, “123abc”, and “()[]<>” are all valid text strings. It is not possible to include a quotation mark character within a text string. Some commands allow you to access variables, messages, and other items, such as DAS data channels, by name. When using these commands, you must type the entire name of the item; you cannot abbreviate any names. 5.1.2.5. Status Reporting Reporting of status messages as an audit trail is one of the three principal uses for the RS232 interface (the other two being the command line interface for controlling the instrument and the download of data in electronic format). You can effectively disable the reporting feature by setting the interface to quiet mode (Section 4.10.8., Table 4-18). Status reports include DAS data (when reporting is enabled), warning messages, calibration and diagnostic status messages. Refer to Appendix A-3 for a list of the possible messages, and this section for information on controlling the instrument through the RS-232 interface. 07266B DCN6485 149 Remote Operation Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual 5.1.2.6. General Message Format All messages from the instrument (including those in response to a command line request) are in the format: X DDD:HH:MM [Id] MESSAGE Where X is a command type designator, a single character indicating the message type, as shown in the Table 4-25. DDD:HH:MM is the time stamp, the date and time when the message was issued. It consists of the Day-of-year (DDD) as a number from 1 to 366, the hour of the day (HH) as a number from 00 to 23, and the minute (MM) as a number from 00 to 59. [ID] is the analyzer ID, a number with 1 to 4 digits. MESSAGE is the message content that may contain warning messages, test measurements, DAS reports, variable values, etc. is a carriage return / line feed pair, which terminates the message. The uniform nature of the output messages makes it easy for a host computer to parse them into an easy structure. Keep in mind that the front panel display does not give any information on the time a message was issued, hence it is useful to log such messages for trouble-shooting and reference purposes. Terminal emulation programs such as HyperTerminal can capture these messages to text files for later review. 5.1.2.7. Remote Access by Modem The T101 can be connected to a modem for remote access. This requires a cable between the analyzer’s COM port and the modem, typically a DB-9F to DB-25M cable (available from Teledyne API with part number WR0000024). Once the cable has been connected, check to make sure the DTE-DCE is in the correct position. Also make sure the T101 COM port is set for a baud rate that is compatible with the modem, which needs to operate with an 8-bit word length with one stop bit. The first step is to turn on the MODEM ENABLE communication mode (Mode 64, Section 4.10.8). Once this is completed, the appropriate setup command line for your modem can be entered into the analyzer. The default setting for this feature is AT Y0 &D0 &H0 &I0 S0=2 &B0 &N6 &M0 E0 Q1 &W0 This string can be altered to match your modem’s initialization and can be up to 100 characters long. 150 07266B DCN6485 Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Remote Operation To change this setting press: SAMPLE RANGE = 500.0 PPB H2S =XXX.X < TST TST > CAL SETUP SETUP X.X SET> SAMPLE 8 COM1 MODE:0 EDIT 1 ENTR EXIT 8 SETUP X.X SETUP X.X COM1 BAUD RATE:19200 EDIT EXIT SETUP X.X SETUP X.X SECONDARY SETUP MENU COMM VARS DIAG ALRM COM1 MODEM INIT:AT Y &D &H SETUP X.X ID COM1 EXIT INS COMMUNICATIONS MENU COM2 COM1 MODEM INIT:[A]T Y &D &H DEL [A] ENTR EXIT ENTR accepts the new string and returns to the previous menu.

COM Port Password Security In order to provide security for remote access of the T101, a LOGON feature can be enabled to require a password before the instrument will accept commands. This is done by turning on the SECURITY MODE (Section 4.10.8). Once the SECURITY MODE is enabled, the following items apply. A password is required before the port will respond or pass on commands. If the port is inactive for one hour, it will automatically logoff, which can also be achieved with the LOGOFF command. Three unsuccessful attempts to log on with an incorrect password will cause subsequent logins to be disabled for 1 hour, even if the correct password is used. If not logged on, the only active command is the '?' request for the help screen. The following messages will be returned at logon: o LOGON SUCCESSFUL - Correct password given o LOGON FAILED - Password not given or incorrect o LOGOFF SUCCESSFUL - Connection terminated successfully To log on to the Model T101 analyzer with SECURITY MODE feature enabled, type: LOGON 940331 940331 is the default password. To change the default password, use the variable RS232_PASS issued as follows: V RS232_PASS=NNNNNN Where N is any numeral between 0 and 9. 5.1.2.9. APICOM Remote Control Program APICOM is an easy-to-use, yet powerful interface program that allows accessing and controlling any of Teledyne API’s main line of ambient and stack-gas instruments from a remote connection through direct cable, modem or Ethernet. Running APICOM, a user can: Establish a link from a remote location to the T101 through direct cable connection via RS-232 modem or Ethernet. View the instrument’s front panel and remotely access all functions that could be accessed when standing in front of the instrument. Remotely edit system parameters and set points. Download, view, graph and save data for predictive diagnostics or data analysis. Retrieve, view, edit, save and upload DAS configurations. Check on system parameters for trouble-shooting and quality control. APICOM is very helpful for initial setup, data analysis, maintenance and troubleshooting. Figure 4-16 shows an example of APICOM being used to remotely configuration the instrument’s DAS feature. Figure 4-20 shows examples of APICOM’s main interface, which emulates the look and functionality of the instrument’s actual front panel 07266B DCN6485 153 Remote Operation Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Figure 5-4.

USING THE T101 WITH A HESSEN PROTOCOL NETWORK 5.1.4.1. General Overview of Hessen Protocol The Hessen protocol is a Multidrop protocol, in which several remote instruments are connected via a common communications channel to a host computer. The remote instruments are regarded as slaves of the host computer. The remote instruments are unaware that they are connected to a Multidrop bus and never initiate Hessen protocol messages. They only respond to commands from the host computer and only when they receive a command containing their own unique ID number. The Hessen protocol is designed to accomplish two things: to obtain the status of remote instruments, including the concentrations of all the gases measured; and to place remote instruments into zero or span calibration or measure mode. API’s implementation supports both of these principal features. The Hessen protocol is not well defined, therefore while API’s application is completely compatible with the protocol itself, it may be different from implementations by other companies. The following subsections describe the basics for setting up your instrument to operate over a Hessen Protocol network. for more detailed information as well as a list of host computer commands and examples of command and response message syntax, download the Manual Addendum for Hessen Protocol from the Teledyne API web site: http://www.teledyne-api.com/manuals/index.asp . 5.1.4.2. Hessen COMM Port Configuration Hessen protocol requires the communication parameters of the T101’s COMM ports to be set differently than the standard configuration as shown in the table below. Table 5-6. Hessen RS-232 Communication Parameters Parameter Standard Hessen Data Bits 8 7 Stop Bits 1 2 Parity None Even Duplex Full Half To change the rest of the COMM port parameters and modes. see Section 4.10.8. To change the baud rate of the T101’s COMM ports, see Section 4.10.9. NOTE Make sure that the communication parameters of the host computer are also properly set. Also, the instrument software has a 200 ms. latency before it responds to commands issued by the host computer. This latency should present no problems, but you should be aware of it and not issue commands to the instrument too frequently. 07266B DCN6485 155 Remote Operation Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual 5.1.4.3.

Each bit can be assigned to one operational and warning message flag. The default settings for these bit/flags are: Table 5-8. Default Hessen Status Bit Assignments STATUS FLAG NAME DEFAULT BIT ASSIGNMENT WARNING FLAGS SAMPLE FLOW WARNING 0001 PMT DET WARNING 0002 UV LAMP WARNING 0002 HVPS WARNING 0004 DARK CAL WARNING 0008 RCELL TEMP WARNING 0010 IZS TEMP WARNING 0020 PMT TEMP WARNING 0040 CONV TEMP WARNING 1000 OPERATIONAL FLAGS Instrument Off 0100 In Manual Calibration Mode 0200 In Zero Calibration Mode 0400 In Span Calibration Mode 0800 UNITS OF MEASURE FLAGS UGM 0000 MGM 2000 PPB 4000 PPM 6000 SPARE/UNUSED BITS 0080, 8000 UNASSIGNED FLAGS Box Temp Warning Analog Cal Warning Sample Press Warning Cannot Dyn Zero System Reset Cannot Dyn Span Rear Board Not Detected Invalid Conc Relay Board Warning NOTES It is possible to assign more than one flag to the same Hessen status bit.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURES This Section describes the calibration procedures for the T101. All of the methods described in this section can be initiated and controlled through the COM ports. NOTE If you are using the T101 for US-EPA controlled monitoring of SO2, see Section 8 for information on the EPA calibration protocol. 6.1. CALIBRATION PREPARATIONS The calibration procedures in this section assume that the analog output reporting range and units of measure, reporting range mode, and reporting range span have already been selected for the analyzer. If this has not been done, please do so before continuing (Section 4.4.4 for instructions). Also, unless otherwise stated, the procedures in this Section are written with the assumption that the T101 is being used in its default configuration as an H2S analyzer. The same methods and setups can be followed when the instrument is configured for SO2 measurement by substituting SO2 span gas for the H2S span gas listed in the procedure. For analyzers configured in H2S SO2 multigas mode, see Section 6.8 NOTE In applications where the instrument may be used to measure SO2 as well as H2S make sure that the calibration gas being used matches the gas measurement mode in which the instrument is set during the calibration procedure. 6.1.1. REQUIRED EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES, AND EXPENDABLES Calibration of the Model T101 analyzer requires a certain amount of equipment and supplies. These include, but are not limited to, the following: 07266B DCN6485 Zero-air source Hydrogen sulfide span gas source Gas lines - all gas line materials should be Teflon-type or glass. A recording device such as a strip-chart recorder and/or data logger (optional). 163 Calibration Procedures Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual 6.1.2. 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 H2S measuring devices, zero air should be similar in composition to the sample gas but devoid of H2S, hydrocarbons, and Sulfur dioxide (SO2). 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. 6.1.3. GAS STANDARDS Span gas is specifically mixed to match the chemical composition of the gas being measured at about 90% of the desired full measurement range. For example, if the measurement range is 500 ppb, the span gas should have an H2S concentration of about 450 ppb. We strongly recommend that span calibration is carried out with bottled, calibrated H2S or SO2 span gas, although it is possible to use a permeation tube such as that included in the IZS valve option. Span gases should be certified to a specific accuracy to ensure accurate calibration of the analyzer. Typical gas accuracy for calibrated span gases is 1 or 2 %. H2S and SO2 standard gases should be mixed in nitrogen. 6.1.4. PERMEATION TUBES 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 checks, we recommend the use of certified H2S gases for accurate calibration. NOTE Applications requiring US-EPA equivalency do not allow permeation devices to be used as sources of span gas for calibration of the analyzer where EPA equivalency is required, such as SO2 monitoring. 164 07266B DCN6485 Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Calibration Procedures 6.1.5. CALIBRATION GAS TRACEABILITY All equipment used to produce calibration gases should be verified against standards of the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST). To ensure NIST traceability, we recommend acquiring cylinders of working gas that are certified to be traceable to NIST Standard Reference Materials (SRM). These are available from a variety of commercial sources. Table 6-1. NIST-SRM's Available for Traceability of H2S and SO2 Calibration Gases NIST-SRM4 TYPE NOMINAL CONCENTRATION 2730 2731 Hydrogen sulfide in N2 Hydrogen sulfide in N2 5000 ppb 20 ppm 1693a 1694a 1661a Sulfur dioxide in N2 Sulfur dioxide in N2 Sulfur dioxide in N2 50 ppm 100 ppm 500 ppm 6.1.6. DATA RECORDING DEVICES A strip chart recorder, data acquisition system or digital data acquisition system should be used to record data from the T101’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 data recording, the T101 provides an internal data acquisition system (DAS ), which is described in detail in Section 4.8. 6.2. MANUAL CALIBRATION The following section describes the basic method for manually calibrating the Model T101 analyzer in H2S measurement mode. The same method may be used to calibrate the T101 analyzers configured for SO2 measurement by substituting SO2 span gas for the H2S span gas listed.

Consult Section 9.3 for more information on calibration problems. 168 07266B DCN6485 Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Calibration Procedures 6.3. MANUAL CALIBRATION CHECKS Informal calibration checks, which only evaluate but do not alter the analyzer’s response curve, are recommended as a regular maintenance item and in order to monitor the analyzer’s performance. The following section describes the basic method for manually checking the calibration of the Model T101 analyzer in H2S measurement mode. The same method may be used to manually check the calibrate the T101 analyzers configured for SO2 measurement by substituting SO2 span gas for the H2S span gas listed. See Section 6.8 for instructions for performing calibration checks on analyzers configured for multigas measurement mode. To carry out a calibration check rather than a full calibration, follow these steps. STEP ONE: Connect the sources of zero air and span gas as shown in Figure 6.1. STEP TWO: Perform the zero/span calibration check procedure: ACTION: Supply the instrument with zero gas. SAMPLE Scroll the display to the H2S STB test function. H2S =XXX.X < TST TST > CAL SAMPLE Wait until H2S STB is below 0.5 ppb. This may take several minutes.

MANUAL CALIBRATION WITH ZERO/SPAN VALVES Zero and Span calibrations using the Zero/Span Valve option are similar to that described in Section 6.2 except that: Zero air and span gas is supplied to the analyzer through the zero gas and span gas inlets rather than through the sample inlet. The zero and cal operations are initiated directly and independently with dedicated buttons (CALZ & CALS) STEP ONE: As shown below connect the sources of zero air and span gas to the respective ports on the rear panel (Figure 3-2).

MANUAL CALIBRATION WITH IZS OPTION The following section describes the basic method for manually calibrating the Model T101 analyzer in H2S measurement mode using the IZS option. The same method may be used to calibrate the T101 analyzers configured for SO2 measurement but requires that an SO2 permeation tube be installed in the instrument instead of the standard H2S tube. (SO2 permeation tubes differ from H2S tubes and can be purchased directly from a manufacturer). See Section 6.8 for instructions on calibrating analyzers configured for multigas measurement mode. Under the best conditions, the accuracy off the H2S effusion rate of the IZS option’s permeation tube is about ±5%. This can be subject to significant amounts of drift as the tube ages and the amount of H2S contained in the tube is depleted. Whereas this may be sufficient for calibrating instrument configured for H2S measurement and for informal calibration checks of instruments measuring SO2, it is not adequate for formal SO2 calibrations and is not approved for use by the US EPA as a calibration source for calibrating SO2 monitoring equipment. For applications where more stringent calibration requirements are specified for an instrument with an IZS option installed the following provisions must be followed. 1. Zero air and span gas must be supplied to the analyzer through the sample gas inlet as depicted in Figure 6-1. 2. The calibration procedure must be initiated using the CAL button (not the CALZ and CALS buttons) using the procedure defined in Section 6.2. 3. Using the CAL button does not activate the zero/span or sample/cal valves of the IZS option, thus allowing the introduction of zero air and sample gas through the sample port from more accurate, external sources such as a calibrated bottle of H2S and SO2 or a Model T700 Dilution Calibrator. SAMPLE < TST TST > Use for formal calibration operations. 07266B DCN6485 RANGE = 500.0 PPB CAL CALZ CALS H2S =XXX.X SETUP Use only for informal calibration checks. 173 Calibration Procedures Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual 6.6. MANUAL CALIBRATION CHECKS WITH IZS OR ZERO/SPAN VALVES Zero and span checks using the zero/span valve or IZS option are similar to that described in Section 6.3, except: On units with an IZS option installed, zero air and span gas are supplied to the analyzer through the zero gas inlet and from ambient air. On units with a zero/span valve option installed, zero air and span gas are supplied to the analyzer through the zero gas and span gas inlets from two different sources. The zero and calibration operations are initiated directly and independently with dedicated buttons CALZ and CALS. To perform a manual calibration check of an analyzer with a zero/span valve or IZS Option installed, use the following method: 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. (SO2 permeation tubes differ from H2S tubes and can be purchased directly from a manufacturer). 174 07266B DCN6485 Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Calibration Procedures STEP ONE: Connect the sources of Zero Air and Span Gas as shown below.

MANUAL CALIBRATION IN INDEPENDENT OR AUTO REPORTING RANGE MODES If the analyzer is being operated in Ind or Auto Range mode, then the High and Low ranges must be independently checked. When the analyzer is in either Independent or Auto Range modes the user must run a separate calibration procedure for each range. After pressing the Cal, CALZ or Cals buttons the user is prompted for the range that is to be calibrated as seen in the CALZ example below: SAMPLE H2S STB = XXX.X PPB H2S =XXX.X < TST TST > CAL CALZ CALS SAMPLE RANGE TO CAL: LOW LOW HIGH ENTR SAMPLE See Table 5-1 for Z/S Valve States during this operating mode SETUP RANGE TO CAL: HIGH LOW HIGH Analyzer enters ZERO CAL Mode SETUP ENTR ZERO CAL M SETUP Wait until H2S STB falls below 0.5 ppb. This may take several minutes. H2S STB XXX.XX PPB H2S =XXX.X < TST TST > ZERO CONC EXIT Continue Calibration as per Standard Procedure Once this selection is made, the calibration procedure continues as previously described in Sections 6.2 through 6.6. The other range may be calibrated by starting over from the main SAMPLE display. 6.7.1. CALIBRATION WITH REMOTE CONTACT CLOSURES Contact closures for controlling calibration and calibration checks are located on the rear panel CONTROL IN connector. Instructions for setup and use of these contacts can be found in Section 5.1.2. When the appropriate 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. 07266B DCN6485 177 Calibration Procedures Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual If contact closures are used in conjunction with the analyzer’s AutoCal (Section 6.9) feature and the AutoCal attribute CALIBRATE is enabled, the T101 will not re-calibrate 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, the instrument will return to SAMPLE mode, leaving the instrument’s internal calibration variables unchanged. 6.8. MANUAL CALIBRATION IN MULTIGAS MEASUREMENT MODE If the analyzer is being operated in multigas measurement mode, the methods and setups for performing calibrations are identical to those defined in Sections 6.2 and 6.4 with the two exceptions Some provision must be made for supplying both types of calibrated span gas to the analyzer. A typical setup for this might be: No Valve Options Installed C alibrated H2S GAS (A t hi gh concentrati on ) S ource of S AMP LE Gas MODEL T700 Gas Dilut ion Calibrator Remove d durin g Ca libration (with Ozone B ench Opt ion) Calib rated S O2 GAS (At high concentration) S ample Exh aust Chassis S pan MOD EL 701 Zero Air Generat or Zer o Air Figure 6-4.

This may take several minutes. H2S =XXX.X EXIT Continue Calibration as per Standard Procedure Once this selection is made, the calibration procedure continues as previously described. The other gas may be calibrated by starting over from the main SAMPLE display. 6.9. AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION/CHECKS (AUTOCAL) The AutoCal system allows unattended, periodic operation of the zero/span valve options by using the analyzer’s internal time of day clock. AutoCal operates by executing userdefined sequences to initiate the various calibration modes of the analyzer and to open and close valves appropriately. It is possible to program and run up to three separate sequences (SEQ1, SEQ2 and SEQ3). Each sequence can operate in one of three modes or be disabled. Table 6-2. AutoCal Modes MODE DISABLED ZERO ZERO-SPAN SPAN ACTION Disables the sequence Causes the sequence to perform a zero calibration or check Causes the sequence to perform a zero and span concentration calibration or check Causes the sequence to perform a span concentration calibration or check Each mode has seven parameters that control operational details of the sequence (Table 6-3). 07266B DCN6485 179 Calibration Procedures Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Table 6-3. AutoCal Attribute Setup Parameters Attribute Name ACTION Timer Enabled Turns on the Sequence timer Starting Date Sequence will operate on Starting Date Starting Time Sequence will operate at Starting Time Delta Days Number of days to skip between each sequence Delta Time Incremental delay on each Delta Day that the sequence starts. Duration Duration of the sequence in minutes Calibrate Enable to do dynamic zero/span calibration, disable to do a cal check only. This must be set to OFF for units used in US EPA applications and with IZS option installed. NOTE The programmed STARTING_TIME must be a minimum of 5 minutes later than the real time clock (See Section 4.4.6 for setting real time clock). NOTE Avoid setting two or more sequences at the same time of the day. Any new sequence which is initiated whether from a timer, the COM ports, or the contact closure inputs will override any sequence which is in progress. NOTE If at any time an illegal entry is selected (Example: Delta Days > 367) the ENTR button will disappear from the display. 180 07266B DCN6485 Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Calibration Procedures The following example sets Sequence2 to carry out a zero-span calibration every other day starting at 01:00 on September 4, 2002, lasting 15 minutes.

INSTRUMENT MAINTENANCE Predictive diagnostic functions including data acquisition, failure warnings and alarms built into the analyzer allow the user to determine when repairs are necessary without performing unnecessary, preventative maintenance procedures. There is, however, a minimal number of simple procedures that, when performed regularly, will ensure that the analyzer continues to operate accurately and reliably over its lifetime. Repair and troubleshooting procedures are covered in Section 8 and Section 9 of this manual. 8.1. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Table 8-1 shows a typical maintenance schedule for the analyzer. Please note that in certain environments (i.e. dusty, very high ambient pollutant levels) some maintenance procedures may need to be performed more often than shown. NOTE A span and zero calibration check must be performed following some of the maintenance procedures listed below. See Sections 6.3, 6.6 and 6.9 for instructions on performing checks. CAUTION Risk of electrical shock. Disconnect power before performing any operations that require entry into the interior of the analyzer. NOTE The operations outlined in this Section must be performed by qualified maintenance personnel only. NOTE The front panel of the analyzer is hinged at the bottom and may be opened to gain access to various components mounted on the panel itself or located near the front of the instrument (such as the particulate filter). A locking screw located at the top center of the panel and two fasteners located in the upper right and left corners of the panel serve to lock it shut. 07266B DCN6485 197 Instrument Maintenance Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual This page intentionally left blank. 198 047400102 Rev XC 07266B DCN6485 Instrument Maintenance Model T101 Instruction Manual Table 8-1 T101 Preventive Maintenance Schedule ITEM ACTION FREQUENCY CAL CHECK MANUAL SECTION SO2 scrubber Replace As required Yes 8.3.3 H2S SO2 Converter Catalyst Replace As required Yes 8.3.5 Particulate filter Change particle filter Weekly No 8.3.1 Verify test functions Review and evaluate Weekly No Appendix C Zero/span check Evaluate offset and slope Weekly -- 6.3, 6.6, 6.9 Zero/span calibration Zero and span calibration Every 3 months -- 6.2, 6.4, 6.5, 6.7, 6.8 External zero air scrubber (optional) Exchange chemical Every 3 months No 8.3.4 Check Flow Every 6 Months No 9.5.2 1 1 1 1 1 Critical flow orifice & sintered filters Replace Annually Yes 8.3.7 Internal IZS Permeation Tube Replace As required YES 8.3.2 Perform pneumatic leak check Verify Leak Tight Annually or after repairs involving pneumatics Yes 9.5.1 Pump diaphragm Replace At least Every 2 years or if PRES is ≥ 33.00 in-Hg-A Yes See instruction in diaphragm kit PMT sensor hardware calibration Low-level hardware calibration On PMT/ preamp changes if 0.7 < SLOPE or SLOPE >1.3 Yes 9.6.4 2 1 2 Perform flow check DATE PERFORMED These Items are required to maintain full warranty; all other items are strongly recommended.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES The following procedures need to be performed regularly as part of the standard maintenance of the Model T101. 8.3.1. CHANGING THE SAMPLE PARTICULATE FILTER The particulate filter should be inspected often for signs of plugging or excess dirt. It should be replaced according to the service interval in Table 8-1 even without obvious signs of dirt. Filters with 1 and 5 µm pore size can clog up while retaining a clean look. We recommend handling the filter and the wetted surfaces of the filter housing with gloves and tweezers. Do not touch any part of the housing, filter element, PTFE retaining ring, glass cover and the O-ring with bare hands. To change the filter according to the service interval in Table 8-1: 1. Turn OFF the analyzer to prevent drawing debris into the sample line. 2. Open the T101’s hinged front panel and unscrew the knurled retaining ring of the filter assembly. Figure 8-1. Sample Particulate Filter Assembly 3. Carefully remove the retaining ring, glass window, PTFE O-ring and filter element. 4. Replace the filter element, carefully centering it in the bottom of the holder. 5. Re-install the PTFE O-ring with the notches facing up, the glass cover, then screw on the hold-down ring and hand-tighten the assembly. Inspect the (visible) seal between the edge of the glass window and the O-ring to assure proper gas tightness. 6. Re-start the analyzer. 202 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Instrument Maintenance 8.3.2. CHANGING THE IZS PERMEATION TUBE 1. Turn off the analyzer, unplug the power cord and remove the cover. 2. Locate the IZS oven in the rear left of the analyzer. 3. Remove the top layer of insulation if necessary. 4. Unscrew the black aluminum cover of the IZS oven (3 screws) using a medium Phillips-head screw driver. Leave the fittings and tubing connected to the cover. 5. Remove the old permeation tube if necessary and replace it with the new tube. Make sure that the tube is placed into the larger of two holes and that the open permeation end of the tube (plastic) is facing up. 6. Re-attach the cover with three screws and make sure that the sealing Oring is properly in place and that the three screws are tightened evenly. 7. Replace the analyzer cover, plug the power cord back in and turn on the analyzer. 8. Carry out an IZS span check to see if the new permeation device works properly. The permeation rate may need several days to stabilize. WARNING Do not leave instrument turned off for more than 8 hours without removing the permeation tube. Do not ship the instrument without removing the permeation tube. The tube continues to emit gas, even at room temperature and will contaminate the entire instrument. 8.3.3. MAINTAINING THE SO2 SCRUBBER The SO2 scrubber of your T101 utilizes a consumable compound to absorb SO2 form the sample gas that must be replaced periodically in order for the analyzer to continue measuring H2S accurately and reliability. This material is capable of efficiently scrubbing SO2 for up to 1000 ppm/hours. This means that if the SO2 content of the sample gas is typically around 100 ppb, the scrubber will function for approximately 10 000 hours, a little over 13 months. If, however, the typical ambient SO2 level of the sample gas is 250 ppb, the scrubber would only last for approximately 4000 hours or about 5 ½ months. 8.3.3.1. Predicting When the SO2 Scrubber Should Be Replaced. To determine how long the SO2 scrubber will operate efficiently: 1. Measure the amount of SO2 in the sample gas. If your T101 has the multigas measurement options activated, this can be done by following instructions found in Section 4.5.1 and selecting MEASURE MODE = SO2. Let the analyzer operate for 30 minutes, then note the SO2 concentration. 2. Divide 1 000 by the SO2 concentration. 07266B DCN6485 203 Instrument Maintenance Model T101 Instruction Manual EXAMPLE: If the SO2 concentration is 125 ppb: Operational hours = 1000 ppm/hr ÷ 0.125 ppm Operational hours = 1,000,000 ppb/hr ÷ 125 ppb Operational hours = 8000 hrs 8.3.3.2. Checking the Function of the SO2 Scrubber To check to see if your SO2 scrubber is operating properly: 1. With the analyzer set of H2S measurement mode, introduce gas mixture into the sample gas stream that includes SO2 at a concentration of at least 20% of the reporting range currently selected (see Section 4.4.4.3). For example, if the analyzer is set for a Single Range & 500 ppb, a concentration of 1000 ppb would be appropriate. 2. An increase of more than 2% in the H2S reading is an indication that the efficiency of the scrubber is decreasing to the point that the absorbing material should be replaced. 8.3.3.3. Changing the SO2 Scrubber Material 1. Input zero air for 5 minutes 2. Turn off analyzer 3. Locates the SO2 scrubber cartridge in the front of the analyzer, looks like a big white cylinder (See Figure 3-9). 4. Undo the two 1/8 inch fittings on the top of the scrubber 5. Remove the two screws holding the scrubber to the instrument chassis and remove the scrubber 6. Take the two Teflon fitting off the instrument. 7. Empty the SO2 scrubbing material in to a hazmat bin 8. Fill each side of the scrubber with new SO2 scrubber material until it is ½ an inch from the bottom of the thread lines so about ½ inches from the top of the scrubber, do not fill it too high or the fitting will crush the material. 9. Remove the Teflon tape from both of the removed fittings, and re-tape them with new Teflon tape. 10. Install both fittings back onto the scrubber. 11. Put the scrubber back into the analyzer and replace the two screws on the bottom. 12. Screw the two 1/8 fittings back onto the top of the scrubber, they can be hooked up either way. 13. Return analyzer to normal operation 204 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Instrument Maintenance 8.3.4. CHANGING THE EXTERNAL ZERO AIR SCRUBBER The chemicals in the external scrubber need to be replaced periodically according to Table 9-1 or as needed. This procedure can be carried out while the instrument is running. Make sure that the analyzer is not in ZERO calibration mode. 1. Locate the scrubber on the outside rear panel. Figure 9-2 shows an exploded view of the scrubber assembly. Figure 8-2. Charcoal Canister Assembly 2. Remove the old scrubber by disconnecting the 1/4” plastic tubing from the particle filter using 9/16” and 1/2" wrenches. 3. Remove the particle filter from the cartridge using 9/16” wrenches. 4. Unscrew the top of the scrubber canister and properly disposition the charcoal contents in accordance with local laws about discarding these chemicals. The rebuild kit (listed in Appendix B) comes with a Material and Safety Data Sheet, which contains more information on these chemicals. 5. Refill the scrubber canister with charcoal. 6. Place a retainer pad over the charcoal, and then close the cartridge with the screw-top cap. 7. Tighten the cap on the scrubber - hand-tight only. 8. Replace the DFU filter with a new unit and discard the old. 9. Replace the scrubber assembly into its clips on the rear panel. 10. Reconnect the plastic tubing to the fitting of the particle filter. 11. Adjust the scrubber cartridge such that it does not protrude above or below the analyzer in case the instrument is mounted in a rack. If necessary, squeeze the clips for a tighter grip on the cartridge. 07266B DCN6485 205 Instrument Maintenance Model T101 Instruction Manual 8.3.5. MAINTAINING THE H2S SO2 CONVERTER The catalyst contained in the H2S SO2 converter of your T101 must be replaced periodically in order for the analyzer to continue measuring H2S accurately and reliability. This material is capable of efficiently converting H2S into SO2 for up to 6000 ppm/hours. This means that if the H2S content of the sample gas is typically around 600 ppb, the scrubber will function for approximately 10 000 hours, a little over 13 months. If, however, the typical ambient H2S level of the sample gas is 1000 ppb, the scrubber would only last for approximately 6000 hours or about 8 months. 8.3.5.1. Predicting When the Converter Catalyst Should Be Replaced. To determine how long the H2S SO2 converter will operate efficiently: 1. Measure the amount of H2S in the sample gas. 2. Divide 6000 by the H2S concentration. EXAMPLE: If the H2S concentration is 750 ppb: Operational hours= 6000 ppm/hr ÷ 0.75 ppm Operational hours= 6,00,000 ppb/hr ÷ 750 ppb Operational hours= 8000 hrs 8.3.5.2. Checking the Efficiency of the H2S SO2 Converter To check to see if your H2S SO2 converter is operating properly: 1. Set the analyzer to SO2 measurement mode (see Section 4.5.1). 2. Supply a gas with a known concentration of SO2 to the sample gas inlet of the analyzer. 3. Wait until the analyzer’s SO2 concentration measurement stabilizes. This can be determined by setting the analyzer’s display to show the SO2 STB test function (see Section 4.2.1) SO2 STB should be 0.5 ppb or less before proceeding. 4. Record the stable SO2 concentration 5. Set the analyzer to H2S measurement mode (see Section 4.5.1). 6. Supply a gas with a known concentration of H2S, equal to that of the SO2 gas used in steps 2-4 above, to the sample gas inlet of the analyzer. 7. Wait until the analyzer’s SO2 concentration measurement stabilizes. This can be determined by setting the analyzer’s display to show the H2S STB test function (see Section 4.2.1) H2S STB should be 0.5 ppb or less before proceeding. 8. Record the stable H2S concentration 9. Divide the H2S concentration by the SO2 concentration EXAMPLE: If the SO2 and H2S concentration of the two test gases used is 500 ppb: 206 Measured SO2 concentration = 499.1 ppb Measured H2S concentration = 490.3 ppb 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Instrument Maintenance Converter Efficiency = 490.3 ÷ 499.1 Converter Efficiency = 0.982 (98.2%) 10. It is recommended that the H2S SO2 converter catalyst material be replaced if the converter efficiency falls below 96% or whatever efficiency rating is specified by local regulatory requirements. 8.3.5.3. Changing the H2S SO2 Converter Catalyst Material The H2S SO2 converter is located in the center of the instrument, see Figure 3-5 for location, and Figure 8-3 for the assembly. The converter is designed for replacement of the cartridge only; the heater with built-in thermocouple can be reused. Turn off the analyzer power, remove the cover and allow the converter to cool. Remove the top lid of the converter as well as the top layers of the insulation until the converter cartridge can be seen. CAUTION The converter operates at 315º C. Severe burns can result if the assembly is not allowed to cool. Do not handle the assembly until it is at room temperature. This may take several hours. 07266B DCN6485 Remove the tube fittings from the converter. Disconnect the power and the thermocouple of the converter. Unscrew the grounding clamp of the power leads with a Phillips-head screw driver. Remove the converter assembly (cartridge and band heater) from the can. Make a note of the orientation of the tubes relative to the heater cartridge. Unscrew the band heater and loosen it, take out the old converter cartridge. 207 Instrument Maintenance Model T101 Instruction Manual Converter Assembly Cover Band Heater Power LEads Band Heater and T/C Assembly H2S SO2 converter Converter Assembly Housing Figure 8-3. H2S - SO2 Converter Assembly 208 Wrap the band heater around the new replacement cartridge and tighten the screws using a high-temperature anti-seize agent such as copper paste. Make sure to use proper alignment of the heater with respect to the converter tubes. Replace the converter assembly, route the cables through the holes in the housing and reconnect them properly. Reconnect the grounding clamp around the heater leads for safe operation. Re-attach the tube fittings to the converter and replace the insulation and cover. Replace the instrument cover and power up the analyzer. 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Instrument Maintenance 8.3.6. CHECKING FOR LIGHT LEAKS When re-assembled or operated improperly, the T101 can develop small leaks around the PMT, which let stray light from the analyzer surrounding into the PMT housing. To find such light leaks, follow the procedures below. CAUTION This procedure can only be carried out with the analyzer running and its cover removed. This procedure should only be carried out by qualified personnel. 1. Scroll the TEST functions to PMT. 2. Supply zero gas to the analyzer. 3. With the instrument still running, carefully remove the analyzer cover. Take extra care not to touch any of the inside wiring with the metal cover or your body. Do not drop screws or tools into a running analyzer! 4. Shine a powerful flashlight or portable incandescent light at the inlet and outlet fitting and at all of the joints of the sample chamber as well as around the PMT housing. The PMT value should not respond to the light, the PMT signal should remain steady within its usual noise. 5. If there is a PMT response to the external light, symmetrically tighten the sample chamber mounting screws or replace the 1/4” vacuum tubing with new, black PTFE tubing (this tubing will fade with time and become transparent). Often, light leaks are also caused by O-rings being left out of the assembly. 6. Carefully replace the analyzer cover. 7. If tubing or O-rings were changed, carry out a leak check (Section 9.5.1). 8.3.7. CHANGING THE CRITICAL FLOW ORIFICE A critical flow orifice, located on the exhaust manifold maintains the proper flow rate of gas through the T101 analyzer. Refer to section 10.3.3.1 for a detailed description of its functionality and location. Despite the fact this device is protected by sintered stainless steel filters, it can, on occasion, clog, particularly if the instrument is operated without a sample filter or in an environment with very fine, sub-micron particle-size dust. 1. Turn off power to the instrument and vacuum pump. 2. Locate the critical flow orifice on the pressure sensor assembly (called out in Figure 8-4). 3. Disconnect the pneumatic line. 4. Unscrew the NPT fitting. 07266B DCN6485 209 Instrument Maintenance Model T101 Instruction Manual Gas Line fitting Spring Sintered Filter O-Ring Critical Flow Orifice O-Ring Vacuum Manifold Figure 8-4. Critical Flow Orifice Assembly 5. Take out the components of the assembly: a spring, a sintered filter, two O-rings and the critical flow orifice. You may need to use a scribe or pressure from the vacuum port to get the parts out of the manifold. 6. Discard the two O-rings and the sintered filter. 7. Replace the critical flow orifice. 8. Let the part dry. 9. Re-assemble the parts as shown in Figure 8-4 using a new filter and orings. 10. Reinstall the NPT fitting and connect all tubing. 11. Power up the analyzer and allow it to warm up for 60 minutes. 8. Perform a leak check (refer to Section 9.5). 210 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Service 9. TROUBLESHOOTING & SERVICE This section contains a variety of methods for identifying and solving performance problems with the analyzer. CAUTION The operations outlined in this Section must be performed by qualified maintenance personnel only. CAUTION Risk of electrical shock. Some operations need to be carried out with the analyzer open and running. Exercise caution to avoid electrical shocks and electrostatic or mechanical damage to the analyzer. Do not drop tools into the analyzer or leave those after your procedures. Do not shorten or touch electric connections with metallic tools while operating inside the analyzer. Use common sense when operating inside a running analyzer. NOTE The front panel of the analyzer is hinged at the bottom and may be opened to gain access to various components mounted on the panel itself or located near the front of the instrument (such as the particulate filter). A locking screw located at the top center of the panel and two fasteners located in the upper right and left corners of the panel lock it shut (Figure 3-9). 9.1. GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING The analyzer has been designed so that problems can be rapidly detected, evaluated and repaired. During operation, the analyzer continuously performs diagnostic tests and provides the ability to evaluate its key operating parameters without disturbing monitoring operations. A systematic approach to troubleshooting will generally consist of the following five steps: 07266B DCN6485 Note any warning messages and take corrective action as necessary. 211 Troubleshooting & Service Model T101 Instruction Manual Examine the values of all TEST functions and compare them to factory values. Note any major deviations from the factory values and take corrective action. Use the internal electronic status LED’s to determine whether the electronic communication channels are operating properly. Verify that the DC power supplies are operating properly by checking the voltage test points on the relay board. Note that the analyzer’s DC power wiring is color-coded and these colors match the color of the corresponding test points on the relay board. Suspect a leak first! Technical Support data indicate that half of all problems are eventually traced to leaks in the pneumatic system of the analyzer, the source of zero air or span gases or the sample gas delivery system. Check for gas flow problems such as clogged or blocked internal/external gas lines, damaged seals, punctured gas lines, a damaged pump diaphragm, etc. Follow the procedures defined in Section 9.5 for confirming that the analyzer’s basic components are working (power supplies, CPU, relay board, keyboard, PMT cooler, etc.). See Figure 3-8 for general layout of components and sub-assemblies in the analyzer. See the wiring interconnect drawing and interconnect list, see Appendix D. 9.1.1. FAULT DIAGNOSIS WITH WARNING MESSAGES The most common and/or serious instrument failures will result in a warning message displayed on the front panel. Table 11-1 contains a list of warning messages, along with a list of possible faults that might be responsible for the warning condition. It should be noted that if more than two or three warning messages occur at the same time, it is often an indication that some fundamental analyzer sub-system (power supply, relay board, motherboard) has failed rather than an indication of the specific failures referenced by the warnings. In this case, a combined-error analysis needs to be performed. The analyzer will alert the user that a warning is active by flashing the FAULT LED and displaying the Warning message in the Param field along with the CLR button (press to clear Warning message). The MSG button displays if there is more than one warning in queue or if you are in the TEST menu and have not yet cleared the message. The following display/touchscreen examples provide an illustration of each: 212 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Service (Fault LED lit, warning msg in Param field, CLR button active) (Fault LED lit, Test menu active, MSG button replaces CLR button) The analyzer also issues a message to the serial port(s). 07266B DCN6485 213 Troubleshooting & Service Model T101 Instruction Manual To view or clear a warning message press: SAMPLE In WARNING mode, buttons replaced with TEST buttom. Pressing TEST switches to SAMPLE mode and hides warning messages until new warning(s) are activated. TEST SAMPLE SYSTEM RESET CAL If warning messages re-appear, the cause needs to be found. Do not repeatedly clear warnings without corrective action. MSG MSG SETUP MSG indicates that one or more warning message are active but hidden.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS WITH TEST FUNCTIONS Besides being useful as predictive diagnostic tools, the TEST functions, viewable from the front panel, can be used to isolate and identify many operational problems when combined with a thorough understanding of the analyzer’s theory of operation (Section 10). We recommend use of the APICOM remote control program to download, graph and archive TEST data for analysis, and long-term monitoring of diagnostic data. The acceptable ranges for these test functions are listed in Table A-3 in Appendix A-3. The actual values for these test functions on checkout at the factory were also listed in the Final Test and Validation Data Sheet, which was shipped with the instrument. Values outside the acceptable ranges indicate a failure of one or more of the analyzer’s subsystems. Functions with values that are within the acceptable range but have significantly changed from the measurements recorded on the factory data sheet may also indicate a failure or a maintenance item. A problem report worksheet has been provided in Appendix C to assist in recording the value of these test functions. The following table (Table 9-2) contains some of the more common causes for these values to be out of range. Table 9-2. Test Functions - Possible Causes for Out-Of-Range Values TEST FUNCTION 1 H2S STB SAMPLE FL PMT NORM PMT HVPS RCELL TEMP Calibration error; HVPS problem; PMT problem; No flow (leaks) Calibration error; HVPS problem; PMT problem HVPS broken; preamp board circuit problems Malfunctioning heater; relay board communication (I2C bus); relay burnt out Environment out of temperature operating range; broken thermistor; runaway heater PMT TEMP TEC cooling circuit broken; High chassis temperature; 12V power supply IZS TEMP (OPTION) Malfunctioning heater; relay board communication (I2C bus); relay burnt out PRESS H2S SLOPE1 H2S OFFS1 TIME OF DAY 216 Leaks; clogged critical flow orifice BOX TEMP CONV TEMP 1 INDICATED FAILURE(S) Unstable concentrations; leaks Malfunctioning heater or temperature sensor; relay board communication (I2C bus); relay burnt out Leak; malfunctioning valve; malfunctioning pump; clogged flow orifices; sample inlet overpressure; Calibration error; span gas concentration incorrect; leaks; low lamp output Incorrect span gas concentration/contaminated zero air/leak; lowlevel calibration off Internal clock drifting; move across time zones; daylight savings time?

In multigas mode, both versions appear. 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Service 9.1.3. USING THE DIAGNOSTIC SIGNAL I/O FUNCTION The signal I/O parameters found under the diagnostics (DIAG) menu combined with a thorough understanding of the instrument’s theory of operation (Section 10) are useful for troubleshooting in three ways: The technician can view the raw, unprocessed signal level of the analyzer’s critical inputs and outputs. All of the components and functions that are normally under instrument control can be manually changed. Analog and digital output signals can be manually controlled. This allows the user to systematically observe the effect of these functions on the operation of the analyzer. Figure 9-2 shows an example of how to use the signal I/O menu to view the raw voltage of an input signal or to control the state of an output voltage or control signal. The specific parameter will vary depending on the situation. Please note that the analyzer will freeze it’s concentration output while in the diagnostic signal I/O menu. This is because manually changing I/O outputs can invalidate the instrument reading. 07266B DCN6485 217 Troubleshooting & Service Model T101 Instruction Manual SAMPLE RANGE = 500.0 PPB H2S =XXX.X < TST TST > CAL SAMPLE SETUP ENTER SETUP PASS : 818 8 1 ENTR EXIT 8 PRIMARY SETUP MENU SETUP X.X CFG DAS RNGE PASS CLK MORE SETUP X.X EXIT SECONDARY SETUP MENU COMM VARS DIAG DIAG SIGNAL I/O PREV NEXT DIAG I/O ENTR If parameter is an input signal 37) SAMPLE_PRESSURE=6000.0 MV PREV NEXT JUMP EXIT 0 ) EXT_ZERO_CAL=ON PREV NEXT JUMP DIAG I/O EXIT PRNT EXIT PRNT EXIT If parameter is an output signal or control DIAG I/O 23) ST H2S_MODE=ON PREV NEXT JUMP ON PRNT EXIT Toggles parameter ON/OFF DIAG I/O 23) ST H2S_MODE OFF PREV NEXT JUMP OFF PRNT EXIT Exit returns to DIAG display & all values return to software control Figure 9-2. Example of Signal I/O Function 9.1.4. STATUS LEDS Several color-coded, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are located inside the instrument to determine if the analyzer’s CPU, I2C communications bus and relay board are functioning properly. 218 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Service 9.1.4.1. Motherboard Status Indicator (Watchdog) DS5, a red LED on the upper portion of the motherboard, just to the right of the CPU board, flashes when the CPU is running the main program. After power-up, DS5 should flash on and off about once per second. If characters are written to the front panel display but DS5 does not flash then the program files have become corrupted. Contact Technical Support because it may be possible to recover operation of the analyzer. If, 30 - 60 seconds after a restart, DS5 is not flashing and no characters have been written to the front panel display, the firmware may be corrupted or the CPU may be defective. If DS5 is permanently off or permanently on, the CPU board is likely locked up and the analyzer should not respond (either with locked-up or dark front panel). Motherboard CPU Status LED Figure 9-3. CPU Status Indicator 9.1.4.2. CPU Status Indicator The CPU board has two red LEDs. LED1 is the upper-most LED and is a +5V power indicator, so it should always be on. However, both CPU LEDs only indicate if the CPU is powered up properly and generally working. The lower LED will sometimes be stable, and sometimes will blink. It can continue to blink even if the CPU or firmware are locked up, and is not an effective indicator for debugging system problems. 9.1.4.3. Relay Board Status LEDs The most important status LED on the relay board is the red I2C Bus watch-dog LED, labeled D1 (or W/D), which indicates the health of the I2C communications bus. This LED is located in the upper left-hand corner of the relay board when looking at the electronic components. If D1 is blinking, then the other LED’s can be used in conjunction with the DIAG menu I/O functions to test hardware functionality by switching devices on and off and watching the corresponding LED go on or off. The LED only indicates that the logic signal for an output has been activated. If the output driver (i.e. the relay or valve driver IC) is defective, then the LED will light up, but the attached peripheral device will not turn on. 07266B DCN6485 219 Troubleshooting & Service Model T101 Instruction Manual Table 9-3.

GAS FLOW PROBLEMS The standard T101 has one main flow path. With the IZS option installed, there is a second flow path flow path through the IZS oven that runs whenever the IZS is on standby to purge H2S from the oven chamber. The IZS flow is not measured and is not available from the front panel. The full flow diagrams of the standard configuration (Figure 3-10) and with options installed (Figure 3-2 and 5-3) help in trouble-shooting flow problems. In general, flow problems can be divided into three categories: Flow is too high Flow is greater than zero, but is too low, and/or unstable Flow is zero (no flow) When troubleshooting flow problems, it is essential to confirm the actual flow rate without relying on the analyzer’s flow display. The use of an independent, external flow meter to perform a flow check as described in Section 9.5.2 is essential. 220 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Service 9.2.1. ZERO OR LOW SAMPLE FLOW If the pump is operating but the unit reports a 0 gas flow, do the following three steps: Check for actual sample flow Check pressure Carry out a leak check To check the actual sample flow, disconnect the sample tube from the sample inlet on the rear panel of the instrument. Make sure that the unit is in basic SAMPLE mode. Place a finger over the inlet and see if it gets sucked in by the vacuum or, more properly, use a flow meter to measure the actual flow. If there is proper flow of around 550-650 cm³/min, contact Technical Support. If there is no flow or low flow, continue with the next step. Check that the sample pressure is at or around 26 in-Hg-A (about 1” below ambient atmospheric pressure). 9.2.2. HIGH FLOW Flows that are significantly higher than the allowed operating range (typically ±10% of the nominal flow) should not occur in the T101 unless a pressurized sample, zero or span gas is supplied to the inlet ports. Be sure to vent excess pressure and flow just before the analyzer inlet ports. When supplying sample, zero or span gas at ambient pressure, a high flow would indicate that one or more of the critical flow orifices are physically broken (very unlikely case), allowing more than nominal flow, or were replaced with an orifice of wrong specifications. If the flows are more than 15% higher than normal, we recommend that the technician re-calibrate the flow electronically using the procedure in Section 4.6.8, followed by a thorough and regular monitoring of these flows to see if the new setting is retained properly. 9.3. CALIBRATION PROBLEMS This section presents som possible calibratio, problems and suggested solutions. 9.3.1. NEGATIVE CONCENTRATIONS Negative concentration values can be caused for several things: 07266B DCN6485 A slight, negative signal is normal when the analyzer is operating under zero gas and the signal is drifting around the zero calibration point. This is caused by the analyzer’s zero noise and may cause reported concentrations to be negative for a few seconds at a time down to -20 ppb, but should alternate with similarly high, positive values. Mis-calibration is the most likely explanation for negative concentration values. If the zero air contained some H2S gas (contaminated zero air or a worn-out zero air scrubber) and the analyzer was calibrated to that concentration as “zero”, the analyzer may report negative values when measuring air that contains little or no H2S. The same problem occurs, if the analyzer was zero-calibrated using ambient air or span gas. 221 Troubleshooting & Service Model T101 Instruction Manual If the response offset test function for H2S (H2S OFFS) are greater than 150 mV, a failed PMT or high voltage supply, or sample chamber contamination, could be the cause. Clean the sample chamber according to Section 8.3.6. 9.3.2. NO RESPONSE If the instrument shows no response (display value is near zero) even though sample gas is supplied properly and the instrument seems to perform correctly, Confirm response by supplying H2S span gas of about 80% of the range value to the analyzer. Check the sample flow rate for proper value. Check for disconnected cables to the sensor module. Carry out an electrical test with the ELECTRICAL TEST (ETEST) procedure in the diagnostics menu, see Section 4.6.5. If this test produces a concentration reading, the analyzer’s electronic signal path is working. Carry out an optical test using the OPTIC TEST (OTEST) procedure in the diagnostics menu, see Section 4.6.4. If this test results in a concentration signal, then the PMT sensor and the electronic signal path are operating properly. If the T101 passes both ETEST and OTEST, the instrument is capable of detecting light and processing the signal to produce a reading. Therefore, the problem must be in the pneumatics, optics or the UV lamp/lamp driver. 9.3.3. UNSTABLE ZERO AND SPAN Leaks in the T101 or in the external gas supply and vacuum systems are the most common source of unstable and non-repeatable concentration readings. Check for leaks in the pneumatic systems as described in Section 9.5.1. Consider pneumatic components in the gas delivery system outside the T101 such as a change in zero air source (ambient air leaking into zero air line or a worn-out zero air scrubber) or a change in the span gas concentration due to zero air or ambient air leaking into the span gas line. Once the instrument passes a leak check, do a flow check (Section 9.5.2) to make sure that the instrument is supplied with adequate sample gas. Confirm the UV lamp, sample pressure and sample temperature readings are correct and steady. Verify that the sample filter element is clean and does not need to be replaced. 9.3.4. INABILITY TO SPAN - NO SPAN BUTTON In general, the T101 will not display certain keyboard choices whenever the actual value of a parameter is outside of the expected range for that parameter. If the calibration menu does not show a SPAN button when carrying out a span calibration, the actual concentration must be outside of the range of the expected span gas concentration, which can have several reasons. 222 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Service Verify that the expected concentration is set properly to the actual span gas concentration in the CONC sub-menu. Confirm that the H2S span gas source is accurate. This can be done by comparing the source with another calibrated analyzer, or by having the H2S source verified by an independent traceable photometer. Check for leaks in the pneumatic systems as described in Section 9.5.1. Leaks can dilute the span gas and, hence, the concentration that the analyzer measures may fall short of the expected concentration defined in the CONC sub-menu. If the physical, low-level calibration has drifted (changed PMT response) or was accidentally altered by the user, a low-level calibration may be necessary to get the analyzer back into its proper range of expected values. One possible indicator of this scenario is a slope or offset value that is outside of its allowed range (0.7-1.3 for slope, -20 to 150 for offsets). See Section 9.6.4 on how to carry out a low-level hardware calibration. 9.3.5. INABILITY TO ZERO - NO ZERO BUTTON In general, the T101 will not display certain keyboard choices whenever the actual value of a parameter is outside of the expected range for that parameter. If the calibration menu does not show a ZERO button when carrying out a zero calibration, the actual gas concentration must be significantly different from the actual zero point (as per last calibration), which can have several reasons. Confirm that there is a good source of zero air. If the IZS option is installed, compare the zero reading from the IZS zero air source to an external zero air source using H2S and SO2 free air. Check the zero air scrubber for performance. It may need to be replaced (Section 8.3.3). Check to make sure that there is no ambient air leaking into the zero air line. Check for leaks in the pneumatic systems as described in Section 9.5. 9.3.6. NON-LINEAR RESPONSE The T101 was factory calibrated to a high level of H2S and should be linear to within 1% of full scale. Common causes for non-linearity are 07266B DCN6485 Leaks in the pneumatic system. Leaks can add a constant of ambient air, zero air or span gas to the current sample gas stream, which may be changing in concentrations as the linearity test is performed. Check for leaks as described in Section 9.5. The calibration device is in error. Check flow rates and concentrations, particularly when using low concentrations. If a mass flow calibrator is used and the flow is less than 10% of the full scale flow on either flow controller, you may need to purchase lower concentration standards. The standard gases may be mislabeled as to type or concentration. Labeled concentrations may be outside the certified tolerance. The sample delivery system may be contaminated. Check for dirt in the sample lines or sample chamber. Calibration gas source may be contaminated. 223 Troubleshooting & Service Model T101 Instruction Manual Dilution air contains sample or span gas. Sample inlet may be contaminated with H2S exhaust from this or other analyzers. Verify proper venting of the pump exhaust. Span gas overflow is not properly vented and creates a back-pressure on the sample inlet port. Also, if the span gas is not vented at all and does not supply enough sample gas, the analyzer may be evacuating the sample line. Make sure to create and properly vent excess span gas. If the instrument is equipped with an intern IZS valve option and the H2S span value is continuously trending downward, the IZS permeation tube may require replacement 9.3.7. DISCREPANCY BETWEEN ANALOG OUTPUT AND DISPLAY If the concentration reported through the analog outputs does not agree with the value reported on the front panel, you may need to re-calibrate the analog outputs. This becomes more likely when using a low concentration or low analog output range. Analog outputs running at 0.1 V full scale should always be calibrated manually. See Section 4.6.3.3. for a detailed description of this procedure. 9.4. OTHER PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS Dynamic problems (i.e. problems which only manifest themselves when the analyzer is monitoring sample gas) can be the most difficult and time consuming to isolate and resolve. The following section provides an itemized list of the most common dynamic problems with recommended troubleshooting checks and corrective actions. 9.4.1. EXCESSIVE NOISE Excessive noise levels under normal operation usually indicate leaks in the sample supply or the analyzer itself. Make sure that the sample or span gas supply is leak-free and carry out a detailed leak check as described earlier in this chapter. Another possibility of excessive signal noise may be the preamplifier board, the high voltage power supply and/or the PMT detector itself. Contact the factory on troubleshooting these components. 9.4.2. SLOW RESPONSE If the analyzer starts responding too slowly to any changes in sample, zero or span gas, check for the following: 224 Dirty or plugged sample filter or sample lines. Sample inlet line is too long. Dirty or plugged critical flow orifices. Check flows (Section 9.5.2), pressures (Section 9.5.1) and, if necessary, change the critical flow orifice (Section 8.3.7). Wrong materials in contact with sample - use Teflon materials only. Sample vent line is located too far from the instrument sample inlet and causes long mixing and purge times. Locate sample inlet (overflow) vent as close as possible to the analyzer’s sample inlet port. 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Service Dirty sample chamber. Clean the sample chamber. Insufficient time allowed for purging of lines upstream of the analyzer. Insufficient time allowed for H2S calibration gas source to become stable. 9.4.3. THE ANALYZER DOESN’T APPEAR ON THE LAN OR INTERNET Most problems related to Internet communications via the Ethernet will be due to problems external to the analyzer (e.g. bad network wiring or connections, failed routers, malfunctioning servers, etc.). However, there are several symptoms that indicate the problem may be with the Ethernet card itself. If neither of the Ethernet cable’s two status LED’s (located on the back of the cable connector) is lit while the instrument is connected to a network: • Verify that the instrument is being connected to an active network jack. • Check the internal cable connection between the Ethernet card and the CPU board. 9.5. SUBSYSTEM CHECKOUT The preceding sections of this manual discussed a variety of methods for identifying possible sources of failures or performance problems within the analyzer. In most cases this included a list of possible causes and, in some cases, quick solutions or at least a pointer to the appropriate sections describing them. This section describes how to determine if a certain component or subsystem is actually the cause of the problem being investigated. 9.5.1. DETAILED PRESSURE LEAK CHECK Obtain a leak checker similar to Teledyne API’s part number 01960, which contains a small pump, shut-off valve, and pressure gauge to create both over-pressure and vacuum. Alternatively, a tank of pressurized gas, with the two stage regulator adjusted to ≤ 15 psi, a shutoff valve and pressure gauge may be used. CAUTION Once tube fittings have been wetted with soap solution under a pressurized system, do not apply or reapply vacuum as this will cause soap solution to be sucked into the instrument, contaminating inside surfaces. Do not exceed 15 PSI when pressurizing the system. 1. Turn OFF power to the instrument and remove the instrument cover. 2. Install a leak checker or a tank of gas (compressed, oil-free air or nitrogen) as described above on the sample inlet at the rear panel. 3. Pressurize the instrument with the leak checker or tank gas, allowing enough time to fully pressurize the instrument through the critical flow orifice. Check each tube connection (fittings, hose clamps) with soap 07266B DCN6485 225 Troubleshooting & Service Model T101 Instruction Manual bubble solution, looking for fine bubbles. Once the fittings have been wetted with soap solution, do not re-apply vacuum as it will draw soap solution into the instrument and contaminate it. Do not exceed 15 psi pressure. 4. If the instrument has the zero and span valve option, the normally closed ports on each valve should also be separately checked. Connect the leak checker to the normally closed ports and check with soap bubble solution. 5. If the analyzer is equipped with an IZS Option, connect the leak checker to the Dry Air inlet and check with soap bubble solution. 6. Once the leak has been located and repaired, the leak-down rate of the indicated pressure should be less than 1 in-Hg-A (0.4 psi) in 5 minutes after the pressure is turned off. 7. Clean soap solution from all surfaces, re-connect the sample and exhaust lines, and replace the instrument cover. Restart the analyzer. 9.5.2. PERFORMING A SAMPLE FLOW CHECK CAUTION Use a separate, calibrated flow meter capable of measuring flows between 0 and 1000 cm³/min to measure the gas flow rate though the analyzer. Do not use the built in flow measurement viewable from the front panel of the instrument. Sample flow checks are useful for monitoring the actual flow of the instrument, to monitor drift of the internal flow measurement. A decreasing, actual sample flow may point to slowly clogging pneumatic paths, most likely critical flow orifices or sintered filters. To perform a sample flow check: 1. Disconnect the sample inlet tubing from the rear panel SAMPLE port shown in Figure 3-2. 2. Attach the outlet port of a flow meter to the sample inlet port on the rear panel. Ensure that the inlet to the flow meter is at atmospheric pressure. 3. The sample flow measured with the external flow meter should be 600 cm³/min 75 cm³/min. If a combined sample/ozone air Perma Pure dryer is installed (optional equipment), the flow will be 740 cm³/min ± 10% (600 cm³/min for the sample and 140 cm³/min for the ozone generator supply air). 4. Low flows indicate blockage somewhere in the pneumatic pathway. 9.5.3. AC POWER CONFIGURATION The T101 can be easily configured for two main power regimes, 100-120 V and 220-240 V at either 50 or 60 Hz. The analyzer is correctly configured for the AC power voltage in use if it turns on and shows a front panel display after about 30 seconds. Internally, several LEDs should turn on as soon as the power is supplied. If an incorrect power configuration is suspected, check for the correct voltage and frequency at the line input on the rear panel. 226 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Service If the unit is set for 220-240 V and is plugged into 100-120 V, the analyzer will not start. If the unit is set for 100-120 V and is plugged into 220-240 V, the circuit breaker built into the ON/OFF Switch on the front panel will trip to the OFF position immediately after power is switched on. Note that the analyzer will be severely damaged if 220-240 V is supplied to it when configured for 100-120 V. Never bypass the power switch or circuit breaker. 9.5.4. DC POWER SUPPLY If you have determined that the analyzer’s AC main power is working, but the unit is still not operating properly, there may be a problem with one of the instrument’s switching power supplies, which convert AC power to 5 and ±15 V (PS1) as well as +12 V DC power (PS2). The supplies can either have DC output at all or a noisy output (fluctuating). To assist tracing DC Power Supply problems, the wiring used to connect the various printed circuit assemblies and DC powered components and the associated test points on the relay board follow a standard color-coding scheme as defined in Table 11-4. Table 9-4. DC Power Test Point and Wiring Color Code NAME TEST POINT# COLOR DEFINITION DGND 1 Black Digital ground +5V 2 Red AGND 3 Green +15V 4 Blue -15V 5 Yellow +12V 6 Purple +12R 7 Orange Analog ground 12 V return (ground) line A voltmeter should be used to verify that the DC voltages are correct as listed in Table 11-5. An oscilloscope, in AC mode and with band limiting turned on, can be used to evaluate if the supplies are excessively noisy (>100 mV peak-to-peak). Table 9-5.

I2C BUS Operation of the I2C bus can be verified by observing the behavior of the LED labeled D1 on the relay board in conjunction with the performance of the front panel display. Assuming that the DC power supplies are operating properly and the wiring from the motherboard to the keyboard as well as from the keyboard to the relay board is intact, the I2C bus is operating properly if: D1 on the relay board is flashing or; D1 is not flashing but pressing a button on the touchscreen results in a change to the display. If the display is locked up or if the analyzer is not booting up at all, the I2C bus may be the cause. Contact Technical Support if you suspect a problem with the I2C bus. 9.5.6. TOUCHSCREEN INTERFACE Verify the functioning of the touch screen by observing the display when pressing a touch-screen control button. Assuming that there are no wiring problems and that the DC power supplies are operating properly, but pressing a control button on the touch screen does not change the display, any of the following may be the problem: The touch-screen controller may be malfunctioning The internal USB bus may be malfunctioning 9.5.7. LCD DISPLAY MODULE Verify the functioning of the front panel display by observing it when power is applied to the instrument. Assuming that there are no wiring problems and that the DC power supplies are operating properly, the display screen should light and show the splash screen and other indications of its state as the CPU goes through its initialization process. 9.5.8. RELAY BOARD The relay board circuit can most easily be checked by observing the condition of its status LEDs as described in Section 10.4.9, and the associated output when toggled on and off through the SIGNAL I/O function in the DIAG menu, see Section 4.6.1. If the front panel display responds to key presses and D1 on the relay board is not flashing, then either the I2c connection between the motherboard and the relay board is bad, or the relay board itself is bad. If D1 on the relay board is flashing, but toggling an output in the Signal I/O function menu does not toggle the output’s status LED, the there is a circuit problem, or possibly a blown driver chip, on the relay board. If D1 on the Relay board is flashing and the status indicator for the output in question (heater, valve, etc.) toggles properly using the Signal I/O function, but the output device does not turn on/off, then the associated device (valve or heater) or its control device (valve driver, heater relay) is malfunctioning. Several of the control devices are in sockets and can easily be replaced. The table below lists the control device associated with a particular function: 228 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Service Table 9-6. Relay Board Control Devices FUNCTION CONTROL DEVICE SOCKETED Valve0 – Valve3 U5 Yes Valve4 – Valve7 U6 Yes All heaters K1-K5 Yes 9.5.9. MOTHERBOARD 9.5.9.1. A/D functions A basic check of the analog to digital (A/D) converter operation on the motherboard is to use the Signal I/O function under the DIAG menu. Check the following two A/D reference voltages and input signals that can be easily measured with a voltmeter. Using the Signal I/O function (Section 4.6.1 and Appendix D), view the value of REF_4096_MV and REF_GND. If these signals are within 10 mV and 3 mV, respectively, of their nominal values (4096 and 0) and are stable to within ±0.5 mV, the basic A/D converter is functioning properly. If these values fluctuate largely or are off by more than specified above, one or more of the analog circuits may be overloaded or the motherboard may be faulty. Choose one parameter in the Signal I/O function such as SAMPLE_PRESSURE (see previous section on how to measure it). Compare its actual voltage with the voltage displayed through the SIGNAL I/O function. If the wiring is intact but there is a difference of more than ±10 mV between the measured and displayed voltage, the motherboard may be faulty. 9.5.9.2. Analog Output Voltages To verify that the analog outputs are working properly, connect a voltmeter to the output in question and perform an analog output step test as described in Section 4.6.2. For each of the steps, taking into account any offset that may have been programmed into the channel (Section 4.6.3.4), the output should be within 1% of the nominal value listed in the table below except for the 0% step, which should be within 2-3 mV. If one or more of the steps is outside of this range, a failure of one or both D/A converters and their associated circuitry on the motherboard is likely. Table 9-7.

Status Outputs The procedure below can be used to test the Status outputs. 1. Connect a cable jumper between the “-“ pin and the “” pin on the status output connector. 2. Connect a 1000 Ω resistor between the +5 V and the pin for the status output that is being tested. Table 9-8. Status Outputs Check Pin Out PIN (left to right) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 STATUS System Ok Conc Valid High Range Zero Cal Span Cal Diag Mode Spare Spare 3. Connect a voltmeter between the “-“ pin and the pin of the output being tested (Table 11-8). 4. Under the DIAG > SIGNAL I/O menu (Section 4.6.1), scroll through the inputs and outputs until you get to the output in question. Alternately turn on and off the output noting the voltage on the voltmeter, it should vary between 0 volts for ON and 5 volts for OFF. 9.5.9.4. Control Inputs The control input bits can be tested by the following procedure: 1. Connect a jumper from the +5 V pin on the STATUS connector to the +5 V on the CONTROL IN connector. 2. Connect a second jumper from the ‘-‘ pin on the STATUS connector to the A pin on the CONTROL IN connector. The instrument should switch from SAMPLE mode to ZERO CAL R mode. 3. Connect a second jumper from the ‘-‘ pin on the STATUS connector to the B pin on the CONTROL IN connector. The instrument should switch from SAMPLE mode to SPAN CAL R mode. In each case, the T101 should return to SAMPLE mode when the jumper is removed. 9.5.10. CPU There are two major types of CPU board failures, a complete failure and a failure associated with the Disk-On-Module (DOM). If either of these failures occur, contact the factory. For complete failures, assuming that the power supplies are operating properly and the wiring is intact, the CPU is faulty if on power-on, the watchdog LED on the motherboard is not flashing. 230 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Service In some rare circumstances, this failure may be caused by a bad IC on the motherboard, specifically U57, the large, 44 pin device on the lower right hand side of the board. If this is true, removing U57 from its socket will allow the instrument to start up but the measurements will be invalid. If the analyzer stops during initialization (the front panel display shows a fault or warning message), it is likely that the DOM, the firmware or the configuration and data files have been corrupted. 9.5.11. RS-232 COMMUNICATION 9.5.11.1. General RS-232 Troubleshooting Teledyne API analyzers use the RS-232 protocol as the standard, serial communications protocol. RS-232 is a versatile standard, which has been used for many years but, at times, is difficult to configure. Teledyne API instruments conform to the standard pin assignments in the implementation of RS-232. Problems with RS-232 connections usually center around 4 general areas: Incorrect cabling and connectors. This is the most common problem. See Figure 4-8 for connector and pin-out information and Section 4.7.3. The communications (baud) rate and protocol parameters are incorrectly configured. See Section 4.7.11 on how to set the baud rate. The COM port communications mode is set incorrectly (Section 4.7.10). If a modem is used, additional configuration and wiring rules must be observed. See Section 5.1.2.7. Incorrect setting of the DTE - DCE Switch is set correctly See Section 4.7.5. 9.5.11.2. Modem or Terminal Operation These are the general steps for troubleshooting problems with a modem connected to a Teledyne API analyzer. 07266B DCN6485 Check cables for proper connection to the modem, terminal or computer. Check the correct position of the DTE/DCE as described in Section 4.7.5. Check the correct setup command (Section 5.1.2.7). Verify that the Ready to Send (RTS) signal is at logic high. The T101 sets pin 7 (RTS) to greater than 3 volts to enable modem transmission. Make sure the baud rate, word length, and stop bit settings between modem and analyzer match, see Section 5.1.2.7 and Section 4.7. Use the RS-232 test function to send “w” characters to the modem, terminal or computer; See Section 4.7.10. Get your terminal, modem or computer to transmit data to the analyzer (holding down the space bar is one way). The green LED on the rear panel should flicker as the instrument is receiving data. Make sure that the communications software is functioning properly. 231 Troubleshooting & Service Model T101 Instruction Manual Further help with serial communications is available in a separate manual “RS-232 Manual”, Teledyne API part number 013500000, available online at http://www.Teledyne-api.com/manuals/. 9.5.12. PMT SENSOR The photo multiplier tube detects the light emitted by the UV excited fluorescence of H2S. It has a gain of about 500000 to 1000000. It is not possible to test the detector outside of the instrument in the field. The best way to determine if the PMT is working properly is by using the optical test (OTEST), which is described in Section 4.6.4. The basic method to diagnose a PMT fault is to eliminate the other components using ETEST, OTEST and specific tests for other sub-assemblies. 9.5.13. PMT PREAMPLIFIER BOARD To check the correct operation of the preamplifier board, we suggest the technician carry out the electrical and optical tests described in Sections 4.6.4. and 4.6.5. If the ETEST fails, the preamplifier board may be faulty. 9.5.14. PMT TEMPERATURE CONTROL PCA The TEC control printed circuit assembly is located on the sensor housing assembly, under the slanted shroud, next to the cooling fins and directly above the cooling fan. If the red LED located on the top edge of this assembly is not glowing the control circuit is not receiving power. Check the analyzers power supply, the Relay board’s power distribution circuitry and the and the wiring connecting them to the PMT temperature control PCA. TEC Control Test Points Four test points are also located at the top of this assembly they are numbered left to right start with the T1 point immediately to the right of the power status LED. These test points provide information regarding the functioning of the control circuit. To determine the current running through the control circuit, measure the voltage between T1 and T2. Multiply that voltage by 10. To determine the drive voltage being supplied by the control circuit to the TEC, measure the voltage between T2 and T3. If this voltage is zero, the TEC circuitry is most likely open. Or, 232 If the voltage between T2 and T3 = 0 VDC and the voltage measured between T1 and T2 = 0 VDC there is most likely an open circuit or failed op amp on control PCA itself If the voltage between T2 and T3 = 0 VDC and the voltage measured between T1 to T2 is some voltage other than 0 VDC, the TEC is most likely shorted T4 is tied directly to ground. To determine the absolute voltage on any one of the other test points make a measurement between that test point and T4. 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Service 9.5.15. HIGH VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY The HVPS is located in the interior of the sensor module and is plugged into the PMT tube (Figure 10-13). It requires 2 voltage inputs. The first is +15 which powers the supply. The second is the programming voltage which is generated on the Preamp Board. This power supply is unlike a traditional PMT HVPS. It is like having 10 independent power supplies, one to each pin of the PMT. The test procedure below allows you to test each supply. Adjustment of the HVPS is covered in the factory calibration procedure in Section 9.6.4. 9.5.16. PNEUMATIC SENSOR ASSEMBLY The pressure/flow sensor circuit board, located behind the sensor assembly, can be checked with a voltmeter using the following procedure, which assumes that the wiring is intact and that the motherboard and the power supplies are operating properly. Measure the voltage across TP1 and TP2, it should be 10.0 0.25 V. If not, the board is faulty. Measure the voltage across capacitor C2; it should be 5.0 ± 0.25 V. If not, the board may be faulty. 9.5.16.1. Sample Pressure Measure the voltage across test points TP1 and TP4. With the sample pump disconnected or turned off, this voltage should be 4500 250 mV. With the pump running, it should be about 0.2 V less as the sample pressure drops by about 1 in-Hg-A from ambient pressure. If this voltage is significantly different, the pressure transducer S2 or the board may be faulty. A leak in the sample system to vacuum may also cause this voltage to be between about 0.6 and 4.5. Make sure that the front panel reading of the sample pressure is at about 1 in-Hg-A less than ambient pressure. 9.5.17. IZS OPTION The zero/span valves and IZS options need to be enabled in the software (contact the factory on how to do this). See Figure 3-2 and 5-3 for a flow diagram with zero/span valve or IZS option. Check for the physical presence of the valves or the IZS option. Check that a working perm-tube is installed in the IZS oven assembly. Check front panel for correct software configuration. When the instrument is in SAMPLE mode, the front panel display should show CALS and CALZ buttons in the second line of the display. The presence of the buttons indicates that the option has been enabled in software. In addition, the IZS option is enabled if the TEST functions show a parameter named IZS TEMP. The semi-permeable PTFE membrane of the permeation tube is affected by humidity. If the instrument is installed in an air-conditioned shelter, the air is usually dry enough to produce good results. If the instrument is installed in an environment with variable or high humidity, variations in the permeation tube output will be significant. In this case, a dryer for the supply air is recommended (dew point should be-20° C or less). 07266B DCN6485 233 Troubleshooting & Service Model T101 Instruction Manual The IZS option is heated with a proportional heater circuit and the temperature is maintained at 50° C ±1°. Check the IZS TEMP function via front panel display (Section 4.2.1) and the IZS_TEMP signal voltage using the SIGNAL I/O function under the DIAG Menu (Section 4.6.1). At 50° C, the temperature signal from the IZS thermistor should be around 2500 mV. 9.5.18. BOX TEMPERATURE The box temperature sensor (thermistor) is mounted on the motherboard at the bottom, right corner of the CPU board when looking at it from the front. It cannot be disconnected to check its resistance. Box temperature will vary with, but will always read about 5° C higher than, ambient (room) temperature because of the internal heating zones from the H2S converter, sample chamber and other devices. To check the box temperature functionality, we recommend checking the BOX_TEMP signal voltage using the SIGNAL I/O function under the DIAG Menu (Section 4.6.1). At about 30° C (5 above typical room temperature), the signal should be around 1500 mV. We recommend using a certified or calibrated external thermometer / temperature sensor to verify the accuracy of the box temperature. 9.5.19. PMT TEMPERATURE PMT temperature should be low and constant. It is more important that this temperature is maintained constant than it is to maintain it low. The PMT cooler uses a Peltier, thermo-electric element powered by 12 VDC from the switching power supply PS2. The temperature is controlled by a proportional temperature controller located on the preamplifier board. Voltages applied to the cooler element vary from +/- 0.1 to +/- 12 VDC. The temperature set point (hard-wired into the preamplifier board) will vary by about ±1 C due to component tolerances. The actual temperature will be maintained to within 0.1 C around that set point. On power-up of the analyzer, the front panel enables the user to watch that temperature drop from about ambient temperature down to its set point of 6-8° C. If the temperature fails to drop after 20 minutes, there is a problem in the cooler circuit. If the control circuit on the preamplifier board is faulty, a temperature of -1 C is reported. 9.6. REPAIR PROCEDURES This section contains some procedures that may need to be performed when a major component of the analyzer requires repair or replacement. Note that replacement procedures that are discussed in detail in Section 8 (Maintenance) are not listed here. Servicing 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. 9.6.1. DISK-ON-MODULE REPLACEMENT Replacing the Disk-on-Module (DOM) will cause loss of all DAS data; it also may cause loss of some instrument configuration parameters unless the replacement DOM carries the exact same firmware version. Whenever changing the version of installed software, the memory must be reset. Failure to ensure that memory is reset can cause the analyzer to malfunction, and invalidate measurements. After the memory is reset, the A/D converter must be re-calibrated, and all information collected in Step 1 below must 234 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Service be re-entered before the instrument will function correctly. Also, zero and span calibration should be performed. 1. Document all analyzer parameters that may have been changed, such as range, auto-cal, analog output, serial port and other settings before replacing the DOM 2. Turn off power to the instrument, fold down the rear panel by loosening the mounting screws. 3. When looking at the electronic circuits from the back of the analyzer, locate the Disk-on-Module in the right-most socket of the CPU board. 4. The DOM should carry a label with firmware revision, date and initials of the programmer. 5. Remove the nylon fastener that mounts the DOM over the CPU board, and lift the DOM off the CPU. Do not bend the connector pins. 6. Install the new Disk-on-Module, making sure the notch at the end of the chip matches the notch in the socket. 7. It may be necessary to straighten the pins somewhat to fit them into the socket. Press the DOM all the way in and reinsert the offset clip. 8. Close the rear panel and turn on power to the machine. 9. If the replacement DOM carries a firmware revision, re-enter all of the setup information. 9.6.2. ADJUSTING THE UV LAMP (PEAKING THE LAMP) There are two ways in which ambient conditions can affect the UV Lamp output and therefore the accuracy of the SO2 concentration measurement: lamp aging and lamp positioning. Lamp Aging - Over a period of months, the UV energy will show a downward trend and can be up to 50% in the first 90 days, and then a slower rate, until the end of useful life of the lamp. Periodically running the UV lamp calibration routine (refer to Section 4.6.6) will compensate for this until the lamp output becomes too low to function at all. NOTE As the lamp degrades over time, the software for the CPU compensates for the loss of UV output. Lamp Positioning – The UV output level of the lamp is not even across the entire length of the lamp. Some portions of the lamp shine slightly more brightly than others. At the factory the position of the UV lamp is adjusted to optimize the amount of UV light shining through the UV filter/lens and into the reaction cell. Changes to the physical alignment of the lamp can affect the analyzers ability to accurately measure SO2. 07266B DCN6485 235 Troubleshooting & Service Model T101 Instruction Manual Figure 9-4. Shutter Assembly CAUTION ALWAYS wear UV-Protective, Safety Glasses when working with the UV Lamp Assembly. 4. 1. Set the analyzer display to show the signal I/O function, UVLAMP_SIGNAL. 2. Slightly loosen the large brass thumbscrew located on the shutter housing (refer to Figure 9-5) so that the lamp can be moved. 3. While watching the UVLAMP_SIGNAL reading, slowly rotate the lamp or move it back and forth vertically until the UVLAMP_SIGNAL reading is at its maximum. NOTE DO NOT grasp the UV lamp by its cap when changing its position. Always grasp the main body of the lamp. 4. Compare the UVLAMP_SIGNAL reading to the information in Table 9-2 and follow the instructions there. 236 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Service Table 9-9. Example of UV Lamp Power Supply Outputs UVLAMP_SIGNAL ACTION TO BE TAKEN 3500mV±200mV. No Action Required > 4900mV at any time. Adjust the UV reference detector potentiometer (refer to Figure 9-6) until UVLAMP_SIGNAL reads approximately 3600mV before continuing to adjust the lamp position. >3700mV or < 3300mV Adjust the UV reference detector potentiometer (refer to Figure 9-6) until UVLAMP_SIGNAL reads as close to 3500mV as possible. .< 600mV Replace the lamp. Figure 9-5. Location of UV Reference Detector Potentiometer 5. Finger tighten the thumbscrew. NOTE DO NOT over-tighten the thumbscrew. 9.6.3. REPLACING THE UV LAMP 1. Turn off the analyzer. 2. Disconnect the UV lamp from its power supply. You can find the power supply connector by following the two, white UV Lamp power supply wires from the lamp to the power supply. 3. Loosen, but do not remove the two UV lamp bracket screws and the large brass thumbscrew located on the shutter housing (refer to Figure 9-4) so that the lamp can be moved. 07266B DCN6485 237 Troubleshooting & Service Model T101 Instruction Manual NOTE DO NOT grasp the UV lamp by its cap when changing its position (refer to Figure 9-4). Always grasp the main body of the lamp. 4. Remove the UV Lamp by pulling it straight up. 5. Insert the new UV lamp into the bracket. 6. Tighten the two UV lamp bracket screws, but leave the brass thumb screw un-tightened. 7. Connect the new UV lamp to the power supply. 8. Turn the instrument on and perform the UV adjustment procedure as defined in Section 9.6.2. above. 9. Finger tighten the thumbscrew. NOTE DO NOT over-tighten the thumbscrew. 10. Perform a lamp calibration procedure (refer to Section 4.6.6) and a zero point and span point calibration (refer to Section 6). 9.6.4. FACTORY CAL (PMT SENSOR, HARDWARE CALIBRATION) The sensor module hardware calibration adjusts the slope of the PMT output when the Instrument’s slope and offset values are outside of the acceptable range and all other more obvious causes for this problem have been eliminated. 1. Set the instrument reporting range to SNGL (Section 4.4.4.4) 2. Perform a full zero calibration using zero air (Sections 6.2, 6.4, or 6.8). 3. Let the instrument run for one hour to stabilize the lamp and run a lamp calibration from the diagnostic menu. This is required to ensure proper scaling of the NORM PMT value. 4. Locate the Preamp board (Figure 3-9). 5. Locate the following components on the Preamp board (Figure 9-7): 238 HVPS coarse adjustment switch (Range 0-9, then A-F) HVPS fine adjustment switch (Range 0-9, then A-F) Gain adjustment potentiometer (Full scale is 10 turns). 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Service Figure 9-6. Pre-Amplifier Board Layout 6. Turn the gain adjustment potentiometer 12 turns clockwise to its maximum setting. 7. While feeding 400 ppb H2S (or 80% range value) to the analyzer and waiting until the STABIL value is below 0.5 ppb look at the front panel and scroll to the NORM PMT value. This value should always be two times the span gas concentration in ppb. With 400 ppb H2S, the NORM PMT should show 800 mV on a properly calibrated analyzer. 8. Set the HVPS coarse adjustment to its minimum setting (0). Set the HVPS fine adjustment switch to its maximum setting (F). 9. Set the HVPS coarse adjustment switch to the lowest setting that will give you more than 800 mV NORM PMT signal. The coarse adjustment typically increments the NORM PMT signal in 100-300 mV steps. 10. Adjust the HVPS fine adjustment such that the NORM PMT value is just above 800 mV. It may be necessary to go back and forth between coarse and fine adjustments if the proper value is at the threshold of the min/max coarse setting. NOTE Do not overload the PMT by accidentally setting both adjustment switches to their maximum setting. This can cause permanent damage to the PMT. 11. Adjust the NORM PMT value with the gain potentiometer down to 800±10 mV. This is the final very-fine adjustment. 12. Perform software span and zero calibrations (Sections 6.2, 6.4, or 6.8) to normalize the sensor response to its new PMT sensitivity. 13. Review the slope and offset values, the slopes should be 1.000±0.300 and the offset values should be <250 mV. 07266B DCN6485 239 Troubleshooting & Service Model T101 Instruction Manual 9.7. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS) The following list contains some of the most commonly asked questions relating to the T101. QUESTION Why is the ZERO or SPAN button not displayed during calibration? Why does the ENTR button sometimes disappear on the Front Panel Display? ANSWER The T101 disables these buttons when the expected span or zero value entered by the users is too different from the gas concentration actually measured value at the time. This is to prevent the accidental recalibration of the analyzer to an out-of-range response curve.-EXAMPLE: The span set point is 400 ppb but gas concentration being measured is only 50 ppb. During certain types of adjustments or configuration operations, the ENTR button will disappear if you select a setting that is nonsensical (such as trying to set the 24-hour clock to 25:00:00) or out of the allowable range for that parameter (such as selecting a DAS hold off period of more than 20 minutes).-Once you adjust the setting in question to an allowable value, the ENTR button will re-appear. How do I enter or change the value of my Span Gas? Can I automate the calibration of my analyzer? Press the CONC button found under the CAL or CALS menus of the main SAMPLE menu to enter the expected SO2 span concentration. Any analyzer with zero/span valve or IZS option can be automatically calibrated using the instrument’s AutoCal feature.However, the accuracy of the IZS option’s permeation tube is ±5%. While this may be acceptable for basic calibration checks, the IZS option is not permitted as a calibration source in applications following US EPA protocols. -To achieve highest accuracy, it is recommended to use cylinders of calibrated span gases in combination with a zero air source. Teledyne API offers a zero air generator Model 701 and a gas dilution calibrator Model T700 for this purpose. What do I do if the concentration on the instrument's front panel display does not match the value recorded or displayed on my data logger even if both instruments are properly calibrated? This most commonly occurs for one of the following reasons: -A difference in circuit ground between the analyzer and the data logger or a wiring problem; -A scale problem with the input to the data logger. -The analog outputs of the T101 can be manually adjusted to compensate for either or both of these effects, refer to 4.6.3.4; -The analog outputs are not calibrated, which can happen after a firmware upgrade. -Both the electronic scale and offset of the analog outputs can be adjusted (refer to Section 4.6.3.2). Alternately, use the data logger itself as the metering device during calibrations procedures. How do I perform a leak check? Refer to Section 9.5.1. How do I measure the sample flow? Sample flow is measured by attaching a calibrated flow meter to the sample inlet port when the instrument is operating. The sample flow should be 650 cm³/min 10%. Section 9.5.2 includes detailed instructions on performing a check of the sample gas flow. 240 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Service QUESTION How often do I need to change the particulate filter? ANSWER Once per week. Table 8-1 contains a maintenance schedule listing the most important, regular maintenance tasks. What is the averaging time for a T101? The default averaging time, optimized for ambient pollution monitoring, is 240 seconds for stable concentrations and 20 seconds for rapidly changing concentrations; Refer to 10.7.1 for more information. My analyzer has the optional, user -configurable analog output channels. How do I program and use them? Instructions for this can be found in the Manual Addendum for Configurable Analog Output, PN 06270. How long does the sample pump last? The sample pump should last about one year and the pump diaphragms should to be replaced annually or when necessary. Use the PRES test function displayed via the front panel to see if the diaphragm needs replacement (refer to Section 9.1.2). Do I need a strip chart recorder or external data logger? No, the T101 is equipped with a very powerful internal data acquisition system (DAS). Section 4.8 describes the setup and operation in detail. 14. 9.8.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION The T101 UV Fluorescence H2S Analyzer is a microprocessor controlled analyzer that determines the concentration of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), in a sample gas drawn through the instrument It requires that sample and calibration gases be supplied at ambient atmospheric pressure in order to establish a constant gas flow through the sample chamber where the H2S in the sample gas is converted into SO2 which is then exposed to ultraviolet light causing the SO2 molecules to change to an excited state (SO2*). As these SO2* molecules decay back into SO2, they fluoresce. The instrument measures the amount of fluorescence to determine the amount of SO2 is present in the sample chamber and by inference therefore the amount of H2S present in the sample gas. Calibration of the instrument is performed in software and usually does not require physical adjustments to the instrument. During calibration, the microprocessor measures the sensor output signal when gases with known amounts of H2S at various concentrations are supplied and stores these measurements in memory. The microprocessor uses these calibration values along with other performance parameters such as the PMT dark offset, UV lamp ratio and the amount of stray light present and measurements of the temperature and pressure of the sample gas to compute the final H2S concentration. This concentration value and the original information from which it was calculated are stored in the unit’s internal data acquisition system and reported to the user through a vacuum fluorescent display or as electronic data via several communication ports. This concentration value and the original information from which it was calculated are stored in the unit’s internal data acquisition system (DAS Section 4.8) and reported to the user through a vacuum fluorescent display or several communication ports. 10.1. MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE 10.1.1. H2S CONVERSION The T101 H2S analyzer is basically a SO2 analyzer with a H2S SO2 conversion stage inserted into the gas stream before the sample gas enters the sample chamber. The H2S to SO2 converter receives sample gas from which the SO2 has been removed by a scrubber. Once the naturally occurring SO2 is removed from the sample gas, the special converter changes the H2S in the sample stream to SO2 using a high-temperature catalytic oxidation. 07266B DCN6485 243 Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual The chemical process is: 2H2S 3O2 2H2O 2SO2 The converter is a heated stainless steel core containing a catalyst across which the sample gas passes just before induction into the reaction cell. The temperature of the converter is maintained by a heater controlled by the CPU via the I2C bus and the relay card. The converter is enclosed in high-temperature insulation and encased in a stainless steel housing. The converter is most efficient when it operates at 315°C, converting 95% of the H2S into SO2. Converter temperature is viewable via the front panel as the test function CONV TEMP (see Section 4.2.1) and can also be output via the test channel analog output (see Section 4.6.9). A warning message, CONV TEMP WARNING (see Section 4.2.2) will be issued by the CPU if the converter’s temperature is below 310°C or above 320°C. When the converter is operating at peak efficiency there is a nearly 1:1 relationship between the amount of H2S entering the catalytic converter and the amount of SO2 leaving it. Therefore, by measuring the amount of SO2 in the gas after it leaves the converter, the amount of H2S originally present on the sample gas can be directly inferred. This is accomplished by measuring the ultraviolet fluorescence of the SO2 in the sample chamber. 10.1.2. SO2 ULTRAVIOLET FLUORESCENCE The physical principle upon which the T101’s measurement method is based is the fluorescence that occurs when Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is changed to excited state (SO2*) by ultraviolet light with wavelengths in the range of 190 nm - 230 nm. This reaction is a two-step process. The first stage (Equation 10-1) occurs when SO2 molecules are struck by ultraviolet photons (hv) of the appropriate wavelength. (In the case of the Model T101, a band pass filter between the source of the UV light and the affected gas limits the wavelength of the UV light to approximately 214 nm.) The SO2 absorbs some of the energy from the UV light, causing one of the electrons of each affected SO2 molecule to move to a higher energy orbital state (SO2*). Ia SO2 hv214nm SO2 * (Equation 10-1) The amount of SO2 converted to SO2* in the sample chamber is dependent on the average intensity of the UV light (Ia) and not its peak intensity because the intensity of UV light is not constant in every part of the sample chamber. Some of the photons are absorbed by the SO2 as the light travels through the sample gas. 244 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Principles Of Operation Figure 10-1. UV Absorption The equation for defining the average intensity of the UV light (Ia) is: Ia I 0 1 exp axSO2 Where: (Equation 10-2) I0 = Intensity of the excitation UV light. a = The absorption coefficient of SO2. SO2 = Concentration of SO2 in the sample chamber. x = The distance between the UV source and the SO2 molecule(s) being affected (path length). The second stage of this reaction occurs after the SO2 reaches its excited state (SO2*). Because the system will seek the lowest available stable energy state, the SO2* molecule quickly returns to its ground state (Equation 10-3) by giving off the excess energy in the form of a photon (h). The wavelength of this fluoresced light is also in the ultraviolet band but at a longer (lower energy) wavelength centered at 330nm. SO2 * SO2 hv330nm (Equation 10-3) The amount of detectable UV (F) given off by the decay of the SO2* is affected by the rate at which this reaction occurs (k). 07266B DCN6485 245 Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual F k SO2 * Where: F k SO2* = = = the amount of fluorescent light given off. The rate at which the SO2* decays into SO2. Amount of excited state SO2 in the sample chamber. Therefore: kF SO2 * SO2 hv330nm Furthermore, the function (k) is affected by the temperature of the gas. The warmer the gas, the faster the individual molecules decay back into their ground state and the more photons of UV light are given off per unit of time. Given that the absorption rate (a) of SO2 is constant, the amount of fluorescence (F) is a result of: The amount of SO2* created which is affected by the variable factors from equation 10-2 above: concentration of SO2; intensity of UV light (I0); path length of the UV light (x) and; The amount of fluorescent light created which is affected by the variable factors from equation 10-5: the amount of SO2* present and the rate of decay (k) which changes based on the temperature of the gas. The amount of fluorescent light emitted (F) is directly related to the concentration of the SO2 in the Sample Chamber, when: the intensity of the light (I0) is known the path length of excitation light is short (x) the temperature of the gas is known and compensated for so that the rate of SO2*decay is constant (k) there are no interfering conditions present (such as interfering gases or stray light) The Model T101 UV Fluorescence SO2 Analyzer is specifically designed to create these circumstances. The light path is very short. The optical design reduces the effects of stray light geometrically and spectrally. A special hydrocarbon scrubber removes the most common interfering gases from the sample gas. A reference detector measures the intensity of the available excitation UV light and is used to remove effects of lamp drift. Finally, the temperature of the sample gas is measured and controlled via heaters attached to the sample chamber. The net result is that any variation in UV fluorescence can be directly attributed to changes in the concentration of SO2 in the sample gas. 246 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Principles Of Operation 10.2. THE UV LIGHT PATH The optical design of the Model T101’s sample chamber optimizes the fluorescent reaction between SO2 and UV Light (Figure 10-2) and assures that only UV light resulting from the decay of SO2* into SO2 is sensed by the instrument’s fluorescence detector. UV radiation is generated by a lamp specifically designed to produce a maximum amount of light of the wavelength needed to excite SO2 into SO2* (330 nm) and a special reference detector circuit constantly measures lamp intensity (see Equation 102). A Photo Multiplier Tube (PMT) detects the UV given off by the SO2* decay (214 nm) and outputs an analog signal. Several focusing lenses and optical filters make sure that both detectors are exposed to an optimum amount of only the right wavelengths of UV. To further assure that the PMT only detects light given off by decaying SO2* the pathway of the excitation UV and field of view of the PMT are perpendicular to each other and the inside surfaces of the sample chamber are coated with a layer of black Teflon® that absorbs stray light.

UV Light Path 10.2.1. UV SOURCE LAMP The source of excitation UV light for the Model T101 is a low pressure zinc-vapor lamp. An AC voltage heats up and vaporizes zinc contained in the lamp element creating a light-producing plasma arc. Zinc-vapor lamps are preferred over the more common mercury-vapor lamps for this application because they produce very strong emission levels at the wavelength required to convert SO2 to SO2*, 214.3 nm (see Figure 10-4). 07266B DCN6485 247 Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual The lamp used in the Model T101 is constructed with a vacuum jacket surrounding a double-bore lamp element (Figure 10-3). The vacuum jacket isolates the plasma arc from most external temperature fluctuations. The jacket also contains the thermal energy created by the lamps operation thereby helping the lamp heat up to and maintain proper vaporization temperature. Light is emitted through a 20 mm x 5 mm portal. Vacuum Jacket Light Output Portal Zinc-Vapor Plasma Arc Dual Bore Figure 10-3. Source UV Lamp Construction 10.2.2. THE REFERENCE DETECTOR A vacuum diode UV detector that converts UV light to a DC current is used to measure the intensity of the excitation UV source lamp. Its location, directly across from the source lamp at the back of a narrow tube-shaped light trap, places it directly in the path of the excitation UV light. A window transparent to UV light provides an air-proof seal that prevents ambient gas from contaminating the sample chamber. The shape of the light trap and the fact that the detector is blind to wavelengths other than UV means no extra optical filtering is needed. 10.2.3. THE PMT The amount of fluoresced UV produced in the sample chamber is much less than the intensity of excitation UV source lamp (see Figure 10-4). Therefore a much more sensitive device is needed to detect this light with enough resolution to be meaningful. The Model T101 uses a Photo Multiplier Tube or PMT for this purpose (see 10.4.4 for more details regarding the electronic operation of the PMT). 248 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Principles Of Operation 10.2.4. OPTICAL FILTERS The Model T101 analyzer uses two stages of optical filters to enhance performance. The first stage conditions the UV light used to excite the SO2 by removing frequencies of light that are not needed to produce SO2*. The second stage protects the PMT detector from reacting to light not produced by the SO2* returning to its ground state. 10.2.4.1. UV Source Optical Filter Zinc-vapor lamps output light at other wavelengths beside the 214nm required for the SO2 SO2* transformation including a relatively bright light of the same wavelength at which SO2* fluoresces as it returns to its SO2 ground state (330 nm). In fact, the intensity of the light emitted by the UV lamp at 330nm is so bright, nearly five orders of magnitude brighter than that resulting from the SO2* decay, it would drown out the SO2* fluorescence.

Excitation Lamp UV Spectrum Before/After Filtration To solve this problem, the light emitted by the excitation UV lamp passes through a bandpass filter that screens out photons with wavelengths outside the spectrum required to excite SO2 into SO2*. (Figure 10-4). 10.2.4.2. PMT Optical Filter The PMT used in the Model T101 reacts to a wide spectrum of light which includes much of the visible spectrum and most of the UV spectrum. Even though the 214 nm light used to excite the SO2 is focused away from the PMT, some of it scatters in the direction of the PMT as it interacts with the sample gas. A second optical bandpass filter placed between the sample chamber (see Figure 10-2) and the PMT strips away light outside of the fluorescence spectrum of decaying SO2* (see Figure 10-5) including reflected UV form the source lamp and other stray light. 07266B DCN6485 249 Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual PMT OPTICAL FILTER BANDWIDTH 330.3 103 (Arbitrary Untis) LAMP OUTPUT 104 213.9 105 102 101 SO2* FLUORESCENT SPECTRUM 1 0 100 200 300 400 500 WAVELENGTH (nm) Figure 10-5.

Effects of Focusing Source UV in Sample Chamber A lens located between PMT and the sample chamber collects as much of the fluoresced UV created there as possible and focuses it on the most sensitive part of the PMT’s photo cathode. 250 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Principles Of Operation Another lens located between the excitation UV source lamp and the sample chamber collimates the light emitted by the lamp into a steady, circular beam and focuses that beam directly onto the reference detector. This allows the reference detector to accurately measure the effective intensity of the excitation UV by: Eliminating the effect of reflected light from the UV lamp reaching the PMT. Making sure that all of the light emitted by the source lamp, passed though the 214 nm filter and not absorbed by the SO2 reaches the reference detector. Conversely, this also makes sure that the volume of sample gas affected by the excitation beam is similar to the volume of fluorescing SO2* being measured by the PMT, eliminating a possible source of measurement offset. 10.2.6. MEASUREMENT INTERFERENCES It should be noted that the fluorescence method for detecting H2S is subject to interference from a number of sources. The T101 has been successfully tested for its ability to reject interference from most of these sources. 10.2.6.1. Direct Interference Obviously, since the T101 measures H2S by converting it to SO2, the most significant interfering gas for this measurement would be ambient SO2 that is present in the sample gas. The T101 circumvents this by passing the sample gas through a chemical scrubber that removes all SO2 from the sample gas before the H2S SO2 conversion takes place. This ensures that the only SO2 present in the sample chamber is the result of the H2S SO2 conversion. Obviously to make sure that the analyzer operates correctly it is important to make sure that this scrubber is functioning properly. The second most common source of interference is from other gases that fluoresce in a similar fashion to SO2 when exposed to UV Light. The most significant of these is a class of hydrocarbons called poly-nuclear aromatics (PNA) of which xylene and naphthalene are two prominent examples. Nitric oxide fluoresces in a spectral range near to SO2. For critical applications where high levels of NO are expected an optional optical filter is available that improves the rejection of NO (contact Technical Support for more information). The Model T101 Analyzer has several methods for rejecting interference from these gasses. A special scrubber (kicker) mechanism removes any PNA chemicals present in the sample gas before it the reaches the sample chamber. The exact wavelength of light needed to excite a specific non-SO2 fluorescing gas is removed by the source UV optical filter. The light given off by Nitrogen Oxide and many of the other fluorescing gases is outside of the bandwidth passed by the PMT optical filter. 07266B DCN6485 251 Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual 10.2.6.2. UV Absorption by Ozone Because ozone absorbs UV Light over a relatively broad spectrum it could cause a measurement offset by absorbing some of the UV given off by the decaying SO2* in the sample chamber. The Model T101 prevents this from occurring by having a very short light path between the area where the SO2* fluorescence occurs and the PMT detector. Because the light path is so short, the amount of O3 needed to cause a noticeable effect would be much higher than could be reasonably expected in any application for which this instrument is intended. 10.2.6.3. Dilution Certain gases with higher viscosities can lower the flow rate though the critical flow orifice that controls the movement of sample gas though the analyzer reducing the amount of sample gas in the sample chamber and thus the amount of SO2 available to react with the to the UV light. While this can be a significant problem for some analyzers, the design of the Model T101 is very tolerant of variations in sample gas flow rate and therefore does not suffer from this type of interference. 10.2.6.4. Third Body Quenching While the decay of SO2* to SO2 happens quickly, it is not instantaneous. Because it is not instantaneous it is possible for the extra energy possessed by the excited electron of the SO2* molecule to be given off as kinetic energy during a collision with another molecule. This in effect heats the other molecule slightly and allows the excited electron to move into a lower energy orbit without emitting a photon. The most significant interferents in this regard are nitric oxide (NO), carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (H2O) and molecular oxygen (O2). In ambient applications the quenching effect of these gasses is negligible. For stack applications where the concentrations of some or all of these may be very high, specific steps MUST be taken to remove them from the sample gas before it enters the analyzer. 10.2.6.5. Light Pollution Because T101 measures light as a means of calculating the amount of SO2 present, obviously stray light can be a significant interfering factor. The Model T101 removes this interference source in several ways. The sample chamber is designed to be completely light tight to light from sources other than the excitation UV source lamp. All pneumatic tubing leading into the sample chamber is completely opaque in order to prevent light from being piped into the chamber by the tubing walls. The optical filters discussed in section 10.2.4; remove UV with wavelengths extraneous to the excitation and decay of SO2/SO2*. During instrument calibration, when the analyzer is sampling zero air (calibration gas devoid of H2S) a measurement of the background light that is still present in the sample chamber is recorded and used to offset the value of the PMT output used to calculate the H2S concentration. 252 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Principles Of Operation 10.3. PNEUMATIC OPERATION CAUTION It is important that the sample airflow system is leak-tight and not pressurized over ambient pressure. Regular leak checks should be performed on the analyzer as described in the maintenance schedule, Table 8-1. Procedures for correctly performing leak checks can be found in Section 9.5.1. NOTE Relative Pressure versus Absolute Pressure In this manual vacuum readings are given in inches of mercury absolute pressure (inHg-A), i.e. indicate an absolute pressure referenced against zero (a perfect vacuum). 07266B DCN6485 253 Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual 10.3.1.

T101 Gas Flow and Location of Critical Flow Orifice 254 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Principles Of Operation 10.3.2. MULTIGAS MEASUREMENT & H2S SO2 SWITCHING VALVE. When activated for operation the multigas measurement mode allows the instrument to measure either or both H2S or SO2 via a Teflon® switching valve. This valve, under CPU control via the I2C buss and the relay board, directs the sample gas stream either through the SO2 scrubber and H2S SO2 converter (H2S measurement mode) or directly to the sample chamber bypassing the H2S SO2 converter, allowing the analyzer to measure SO2. The cycle for this operation is Table 10-1. T101 Multigas Valve Cycle-Phases Gas Mode H2S SO2 H2S SO2 Valve Status Default Time Settings Gas stream directed through scrubber and converter 0–3 minutes Wait period. Ensures sample chamber has been flushed of previous gas. 3 – 10 m Analyzer measures florescence in sample chamber 0–3 minutes Wait period (dwell time). Ensures sample chamber has been flushed of previous gas. 3 – 10 m Analyzer measures florescence in sample chamber Gas stream bypasses through scrubber and converter Activity Cycle repeats every ~20Minuites The timing of the above cycle is set by two variables (see Appendix A-2), MEASURE_PERIOD, which sets the total dwell time for each gas mode, and MEASURE_DELAY which sets the wait period before the instrument begins making measurements after the gas mode has been switch. 10.3.3. FLOW RATE CONTROL The Model T101 uses a special flow control assembly located in the exhaust vacuum manifold (Figure 10-7) to maintain a constant flow rate of the sample gas through the instrument. This assembly consists of: a critical flow orifice two o-rings: Located just before and after the critical flow orifice, the orings seal the gap between the walls of assembly housing and the critical flow orifice. a spring: Applies mechanical force needed to form the seal between the o-rings, the critical flow orifice and the assembly housing. 10.3.3.1. Critical Flow Orifice The most important component of this flow control assembly is the critical flow orifice. Critical flow orifices are a remarkably simple way to regulate stable gas flow rates. They operate without moving parts by taking advantage of the laws of fluid dynamics. By restricting the flow of gas though the orifice, a pressure differential is created. This 07266B DCN6485 255 Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual pressure differential combined with the action of the analyzer’s external pump draws the gas through the orifice. As the pressure on the downstream side of the orifice (the pump side) continues to drop, the speed that the gas flows though the orifice continues to rise. Once the ratio of upstream pressure to downstream pressure is greater than 2:1, the velocity of the gas through the orifice reaches the speed of sound. As long as that ratio stays at least 2:1 the gas flow rate is unaffected by any fluctuations, surges, or changes in downstream pressure because such variations only travel at the speed of sound themselves and are therefore cancelled out by the sonic shockwave at the downstream exit of the critical flow orifice. CRITICAL FLOW ORIFICE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE Sonic Shockwave SPRING O-RINGS FILTER Figure 10-8. Typical Flow Control Assembly with Critical Flow Orifice The actual flow rate of gas through the orifice (volume of gas per unit of time), depends on the size and shape of the aperture in the orifice. The larger the hole, the more gas molecules, moving at the speed of sound, pass through the orifice. The result is that he flow rate of the gas is unaffected by degradations in pump efficiency due to age. The critical flow orifice used in the Model T101 is designed to provide a flow rate of 600 cm3/min. 10.3.4. SAMPLE PARTICULATE FILTER To remove particles in the sample gas, the analyzer is equipped with a Teflon membrane filter of 47 mm diameter (also referred to as the sample filter) with a 1 µm pore size. The filter is accessible through the front panel, which folds down, and should be changed according to the suggested maintenance schedule in Table 9-1. 256 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Principles Of Operation 10.3.5. HYDROCARBON SCRUBBER (KICKER) It is very important to make sure the air supplied to sample the chamber is clear of hydrocarbons. To accomplish this task the T101 uses a single tube permeation scrubber. The scrubber consists of a single tube of a specialized plastic that absorbs hydrocarbons very well. This tube is located within the outer flexible plastic tube shell. As gas flows through the inner tube, hydrocarbons are absorbed into the membrane walls. and transported through the membrane wall and into the hydrocarbon free, purge gas flowing through the outer tube. This process is driven by the hydrocarbon partial pressure gradient between the inner and outer tubes. CLEAN PURGE AIR FROM VACUUM MANIFOLD OUTER TUBE (Clean Air) USED PURGE AIR TO PUMP AND EXHAUST PORT CLEANED SAMPLE AIR TO SAMPLE CHAMBER INNER TUBE (Ambient Air) SAMPLE AIR FROM PARTICULATE FILTER Figure 10-9. T101 Hydrocarbon Scrubber (Kicker) In the T101 some of the cleaned air from the inner tube is returned to be used as the purge gas in the outer tube (Figure 10-9). This means that when the analyzer is first started, the concentration gradient between the inner and outer tubes is not very large and the scrubber’s efficiency is relatively low. When the instrument is turned on after having been off for more than 30 minutes, it takes a certain amount of time for the gradient to become large enough for the scrubber to adequately remove hydrocarbons from the sample air. 10.3.6. SO2 SCRUBBER In order to ensure that no ambient SO2 interferes with the analyzer’s H2S measurement the sample gas stream is passed through a chemical scrubber that removes SO2 from the sample stream before it is passed though the catalytic converter (see Figure 10-7). The SO2 scrubber is a Teflon encased, stand-alone unit containing a room-temperature tube mounted in the front right side of the analyzer case (see Figure 3.8) near the instrument’s on/off switch. The SO2 scrubber material is consumed as it removes SO2. If the expected concentrations of SO2 are very high, the lifetime of the scrubber will be short. The expected life of the scrubber is approximately 1000 ppm-hours. See Section 8.3.3 for information on when and how to replace the SO2 scrubber material) 07266B DCN6485 257 Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual 10.3.7. PNEUMATIC SENSORS The T101 uses two pneumatic sensors to verify gas streams. These sensors are located on a printed circuit assembly, called the pneumatic pressure/flow sensor board. 10.3.7.1. Sample Pressure Sensor An absolute pressure transducer plumbed to the input of the analyzer’s sample chamber is used to measure the pressure of the sample gas before it enters the chamber. This upstream used to validate the critical flow condition (2:1 pressure ratio) through the instrument’s critical flow orifice (Section 10.3.3.1). Also, if the temperature/pressure compensation (TPC) feature is turned on (Section 10.7.3), the output of this sensor is also used to supply pressure data for that calculation. The actual pressure measurement is viewable through the analyzer’s front panel display as the test function PRESS. 10.3.7.2. Sample Flow Sensor A thermal-mass flow sensor is used to measure the sample flow through the analyzer. This sensor is also mounted on the pneumatic pressure/flow sensor board upstream of the sample chamber. The flow rate is monitored by the CRT which issues a warning message (SAMP FLOW WARN) if the flow rate is too high or too low. The flow rate of the sample gas is viewable via the front panel as the SAMP FL test function. 258 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Principles Of Operation 10.4.

T101 Electronic Block Diagram 07266B DCN6485 259 Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual The core of the analyzer is a microcomputer that controls various internal processes, interprets data, makes calculations, and reports results using specialized firmware developed by Teledyne API. It communicates with the user as well as receives data from and issues commands to a variety of peripheral devices through a separate printed circuit assembly to which the CPU is mounted: the motherboard. The motherboard is directly mounted to the rear panel and collects data, performs signal conditioning duties and routs incoming and outgoing signals between the CPU and the analyzer’s other major components. Concentration data of the T101 are generated by the photo multiplier tube (PMT), which produces an analog current signal corresponding to the brightness of the fluorescence reaction in the sample chamber. This current signal is amplified to a DC voltage signal (front panel test parameter PMT) by a PMT preamplifier printed circuit assembly (located on top of the sensor housing). PMT is converted to digital data by a bi-polar, analog-to-digital converter, located on the motherboard. In addition to the PMT signal, a variety of sensors report the physical and operational status of the analyzer’s major components, again through the signal processing capabilities of the motherboard. These status reports are used as data for the H2S concentration calculation (e.g. pressure and temperature reading used by the temperature/pressure compensation feature) and as trigger events for certain warning messages and control commands issued by the CPU. They are stored in the CPU’s memory and, in most cases, can be viewed through the front panel display. The CPU communicates with the user and the outside world in a variety of ways: Through the analyzer’s keyboard and vacuum fluorescent display over a clocked, digital, serial I/O bus using the I2C protocol (pronounced “Isquared-C”); RS 232 & RS485 serial I/O channels; Various analog voltage and current outputs and Several digital I/O channels. Finally, the CPU issues commands (also over the I2C bus) to a series of relays and switches located on a separate printed circuit assembly, the relay board (located in the rear of the chassis on its own mounting bracket) to control the function of key electromechanical devices such as heaters that keep the sample chamber at a steady temperature and, when installed, the zero/span and internal zero/span valve sets and heaters. 260 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Principles Of Operation 10.4.1. CPU The unit’s CPU card, installed on the motherboard located inside the rear panel, is a low power (5 VDC, 720mA max), high performance, Vortex 86SX-based microcomputer running Windows CE. Its operation and assembly conform to the PC 104 specification.. Figure 10-11. T101 CPU Board The CPU includes two types of non-volatile data storage: a Disk on Module (DOM) and an embedded flash chip. 10.4.1.1. Disk On Module (DOM) The DOM is a 44-pin IDE flash chip with storage capacity to 256 MB. It is used to store the computer’s operating system, the Teledyne API firmware, and most of the operational data generated by the analyzer’s internal data acquisition system (DAS). 10.4.1.2. Flash Chip This non-volatile, embedded flash chip includes 2MB of storage for calibration data as well as a backup of the analyzer configuration. Storing these key data onto a less heavily accessed chip significantly decreases the chance data corruption. In the unlikely event that the flash chip should fail, the analyzer will continue to operate with just the DOM. However, all configuration information will be lost, requiring that the unit be recalibrated. 07266B DCN6485 261 Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual 10.4.2. SENSOR MODULE & SAMPLE CHAMBER Electronically, the T101 sensor module is a group of subassemblies with different tasks: to detect the intensity of the light from the fluorescence reaction between SO2 and UV light in the sample chamber, to produce a current signal proportional to the intensity of the fluorescence and to control the temperature of the PMT cooler to ensure the accuracy and stability of the measurements.

T101 Sample Chamber 10.4.3. SAMPLE CHAMBER HEATING CIRCUIT In order to reduce temperature effects, the sample chamber is maintained at a constant 50°C, just above the high end of the instrument’s operation temperature range. Two AC heaters, one embedded into the top of the sample chamber, the other embedded directly below the reference detector’s light trap, provide the heat source. These heaters operate off of the instrument’s main AC power and are controlled by the CPU through a power relay on the relay board. A thermistor, also embedded in the bottom of the sample chamber, reports the cell’s temperature to the CPU through the thermistor interface circuitry of the motherboard. 262 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Principles Of Operation 10.4.4. PHOTO MULTIPLIER TUBE (PMT) The T101 uses a photo multiplier tube (PMT) to detect the amount of fluorescence created by the SO2 and UV light reaction in the sample chamber. PMT Input Signal Connector PMT Temperature Sensor Heat Sink Insulator PMT Output Signal Connector Cold Block PMT High Voltage Power Supply Optical Test LED TEC located between Cold Block and Heat Sink Light from Reaction Chamber shines through hole is side of Cold Block Figure 10-13. PMT Assembly A typical PMT is a vacuum tube containing a variety of specially designed electrodes. Photons from the reaction are filtered by an optical high-pass filter, enter the PMT and strike a negatively charged photo cathode causing it to emit electrons. A high voltage potential across these focusing electrodes directs the electrons toward an array of high voltage dynodes. The dynodes in this electron multiplier array are designed so that each stage multiplies the number of emitted electrons by emitting multiple, new electrons. The greatly increased number of electrons emitted from one end of electron multiplier are collected by a positively charged anode at the other end, which creates a useable current signal. This current signal is amplified by the preamplifier board and then reported to the motherboard. 07266B DCN6485 263 Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual Figure 10-14. Basic PMT Design A significant performance characteristic of the PMT is the voltage potential across the electron multiplier. The higher the voltage, the greater is the number of electrons emitted from each dynode of the electron multiplier, making the PMT more sensitive and responsive to small variations in light intensity but also more noisy (dark noise). The gain voltage of the PMT used in the T101 is usually set between 450 V and 800 V. This parameter is viewable through the front panel as test function HVPS (Section 4.2.1). For information on when and how to set this voltage, see Section 9.6.2. The PMT is housed inside the PMT module assembly (Figure 10-13). This assembly also includes the high voltage power supply required to drive the PMT, an LED used by the instrument’s optical test function, a thermistor that measures the temperature of the PMT and various components of the PMT cooling system including the thermo-electric cooler (TEC). 10.4.5. PMT COOLING SYSTEM The performance of the analyzer’s PMT is significantly affected by temperature. Variations in PMT temperature are directly reflected in the signal output of the PMT. The signal to noise ratio of the PMT output is radically influenced by temperature as well. The warmer The PMT is, the noisier its signal becomes until the noise renders the concentration signal useless. To alleviate this problem a special cooling system exists that maintains the PMT temperature at a stable, low level 10.4.5.1. Thermoelectric Cooler (TEC) The core of the T101 PMT cooling system is a solid state heat pump called a thermoelectric cooler (TEC). Thermoelectric coolers transfer heat from a one side of a special set of semiconductor junctions to the other when a DC current is applied. The heat is pumped at a rate proportional to the amount of current applied. In the Model T101 the TEC is physically attached to a cold block that absorbs heat directly from the PMT and a heat sink that is cooled by moving air (see Figure 10-15). A Thermocouple embedded into the cold block generates an analog voltage corresponding to the current temperature of the PMT. The PMT Preamp PCA conditions and amplifies this signal then passes it on to the TEC Control PCA 264 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Principles Of Operation Preamp PCA sends buffered and amplified thermistor signal to TEC PCA TEC PCA sets appropriate drive voltage for cooler TEC Control PCA PMT Preamp PCA Heat Sink ThermoElectric Cooler Thermistor outputs temp of cold block to preamp PCA PMT Cold Block Heat from PMT is absorbed by the cold block and transferred to the heat sink via the TEC then bled off into the cool air stream. Cooling Fan Figure 10-15. PMT Cooling System 10.4.5.2. TEC Control Board The TEC control printed circuit assembly is located on the sensor housing assembly, under the slanted shroud, next to the cooling fins and directly above the cooling fan. Using the amplified PMT temperature signal from the PMT preamplifier board (Section 10.4.6); it sets the drive voltage for the thermoelectric cooler. The warmer the PMT gets, the more current is passed through the TEC causing it to pump more heat to the heat sink. TEC Control Power Status LED A red LED located on the top edge of this assembly glows constantly to indicate that the control circuit is receiving power. TEC Control Test Points Four test points are also located at the top of this assembly they are numbered left to right start with the point immediately to the right of the power status LED. See Section 9.5.3 for more information. 10.4.6. PMT PREAMPLIFIER The PMT preamplifier board amplifies the PMT signal into a useable analog voltage (PMT) that can be processed by the motherboard into a digital signal to be used by the CPU to calculate the H2S concentration of the gas in the sample chamber. The output signal of the PMT is controlled by two different adjustments. First, the voltage across the electron multiplier array of the PMT is adjusted with a set of two hexadecimal switches. Adjusting this voltage directly affects the HVPS voltage and, hence, the signal from the PMT. Secondly, the gain of the amplified signal can further 07266B DCN6485 265 Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual be adjusted through a potentiometer. These adjustments should only be performed when encountering problems with the software calibration that cannot be rectified otherwise. See Section 9.6.4 for this hardware calibration.

PMT Preamp Block Diagram The PMT temperature control loop maintains the PMT temperature around 7° C and can be viewed as test function PMT TEMP on the front panel. The electrical test (ETEST) circuit generates a constant, electronic signal intended to simulate the output of the PMT (after conversion from current to voltage). By bypassing the detector’s actual signal, it is possible to test most of the signal handling and conditioning circuitry on the PMT preamplifier board. See Section 4.6.5 for instructions on performing this test. The optical test (OTEST) feature causes an LED inside the PMT cold block to create a light signal that can be measured with the PMT. If zero air is supplied to the analyzer, the entire measurement capability of the sensor module can be tested including the PMT and the current to voltage conversion circuit on the PMT preamplifier board. See Section 4.6.4 for instructions on performing this test. 266 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Principles Of Operation 10.4.7. PNEUMATIC SENSOR BOARD The flow and pressure sensors of the T101 are located on a printed circuit assembly just behind the PMT sensor. Refer to Section 9.5.15 on how to test this assembly. The signals of this board are supplied to the motherboard for further signal processing. All sensors are linearized in the firmware and can be span calibrated from the front panel. See Section 4.6.7 for instructions on performing this test. 10.4.8. RELAY BOARD The relay board is the central switching unit of the analyzer. It contains power relays, status LEDs for all heated zones and valves as well as valve drivers, thermocouple amplifiers, power distribution connectors and the two switching power supplies of the analyzer. The relay board communicates with the motherboard over the I2C bus and is the main board for trouble-shooting power problems of any kind. 10.4.8.1. Heater Control The T101 uses a variety of heaters for its individual components. All heaters are AC powered and can be configured for 100/120 VAC or 220/230VAC at 50-60 Hz. The two sample chamber heaters are electronically connected in parallel for analyzers at 100/120 VAC line power and in series for units configured for 220/230 VAC. One configuration plug on the relay board determines the power configuration for the entire analyzer. On units with IZS options installed, an additional set of AC heaters is attached to the IZS permeation tube. Some special T101 models may have other, non-standard heating zones installed, such as a dilution manifold. In order to operate efficiently, the H2S SO2 converter must be heated to 315˚C. An AC band heater wrapped around the converter cartridge contains two heater coils that are also configured in parallel or in series depending on the Type of AC power being supplied. A thermocouple imbedded in the heater measures the temperature and feeds a small voltage to the relay board’s thermocouple amplifier, which, in turn, transmits the linearized analog voltage to the motherboard. This information is sent to the CPU via the instrument’s I2C buss. The CPU returns activate/deactivate signals to the appropriate relay also via the I2C buss. On units with IZS options installed, an additional set of AC heaters is attached to the IZS oven. Some special T101 models may have other, non-standard heating zones installed, such as a bypass manifold. 10.4.8.2. Valve Control The relay board also hosts two valve driver chips, each of which can drive up four valves. In its basic configuration the Model T101 requires no special valves to operate. However, on units with either the zero/span valve or the IZS option installed The valves are. Manifold valves may also be present in certain special versions of the analyzer. 07266B DCN6485 267 Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual 10.4.9.

MOTHERBOARD This printed circuit assembly provides a multitude of functions including A/D conversion, digital input/output, PC-104 to I2C translation, temperature sensor signal processing and is a pass through for the RS-232 and RS-485 signals. 10.4.10.1. A to D Conversion Analog signals, such as the voltages received from the analyzer’s various sensors, are converted into digital signals that the CPU can understand and manipulate by the analog to digital converter (A/D).Under the control of the CPU, this functional block selects a particular signal input and then coverts the selected voltage into a digital word. The A/D consists of a voltage-to-frequency (V-F) converter, a programmable logic device (PLD), three multiplexers, several amplifiers and some other associated devices. The V-F converter produces a frequency proportional to its input voltage. The PLD counts the output of the V-F during a specified time period, and sends the result of that count, in the form of a binary number, to the CPU. The A/D can be configured for several different input modes and ranges but in the is used in uni-polar mode with a +5V full scale. The converter includes a 1% over and under-range. This allows signals from -0.05V to +5.05V to be fully converted. For A to D calibration purposes, two reference voltages are supplied to the A/D converter: Reference ground and +4.096 VDC. During calibration the device measures these two voltages and outputs their digital equivalent to the CPU. The CPU uses these values to compute the A to D converter’s offset and slope (not the same offset and slope recorded during zero/span calibration) and uses these factors for subsequent conversions. See 4.6.3.4 for instructions on performing this calibration. 10.4.10.2. Sensor Inputs The key analog sensor signals are coupled to the A/D through the master multiplexer from two connectors on the motherboard. 100K terminating resistors on each of the inputs prevent cross talk from appearing on the sensor signals. PMT Detector Output: This signal, output by the PMT preamp PCA, is used in the computation of the H2S concentration displayed at the top right hand corner of the front panel display and output through the instrument’s analog outputs and COMM ports. PMT HIGH VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY LEVEL: This input is based on the drive voltage output by the PMT pram board to the PMT’s high voltage power supply (HVPS). It is digitized and sent to the CPU where it is used to calculate the voltage setting of the HVPS and stored in the instrument’s memory as the test function HVPS. HVPS is viewable as a test function (Section 4.2.1) through the analyzer’s front panel. PMT TEMPERATURE: This signal is the output of the thermistor attached to the PMT cold block amplified by the PMT temperature feedback circuit on the PMT preamp 07266B DCN6485 269 Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual board. It is digitized and sent to the CPU where it is used to calculate the current temperature of the PMT. This measurement is stored in the analyzer’s memory as the test function PMT TEMP and is viewable as a test function (Section 4.2.1) through the analyzer’s front panel. SAMPLE GAS PRESSURE SENSOR: This sensor measures the gas pressure at the exit of the sample chamber. SAMPLE FLOW SENSOR: This sensor measure the flow rate of the sample gas as it exits the sample chamber. 10.4.10.3. Thermistor Interface This circuit provides excitation, termination and signal selection for several negativecoefficient, thermistor temperature sensors located inside the analyzer. They are: SAMPLE CHAMBER TEMPERATURE SENSOR: The source of this signal is a thermistor embedded in the of the sample chamber block. It measures the temperature of the sample gas in the chamber. This data are used by the CPU to control sample chamber the heating circuit and as part of the H2S, calculations when the instrument’s Temperature/Pressure Compensation feature is enabled. This measurement is stored in the analyzer memory as a parameter (RCEL TEMP) and is viewable as a test function under the same name (Section6.2.1) through the analyzer’s front panel. IZS OPTION PERMEATION TUBE TEMPERATURE SENSOR: This thermistor, attached to the permeation tube in the IZS option, reports the current temperature of that tube to the CPU as part of control loop that keeps the tube at a constant temperature. BOX TEMPERATURE SENSOR: A thermistor is attached to the motherboard. It measures the analyzer’s inside temperature. This information is stored by the CPU and can be viewed by the user for troubleshooting purposes through the front panel display. This measurement is stored in the analyzer. Memory as the test function BOX TEMP and is viewable as a test function (Section 4.2.1) through the analyzer’s front panel. 10.4.11. ANALOG OUTPUTS The analyzer comes equipped with four Analog Outputs: A1, A2, A4 and a fourth that is a spare. A1 and A2 Outputs: The first two, A1 and A2 are normally set up to operate in parallel so that the same data can be sent to two different recording devices. While the names imply that one should be used for sending data to a chart recorder and the other for interfacing with a data logger, either can be used for both applications. Both of these channels output a signal that is proportional to the H2S concentration of the sample gas. The A1 and A2 outputs can be slaved together or set up to operated independently. A variety of scaling factors are available; see Section 4.4.4 for information on setting the reporting range type and scaling factors for these output channels Test Output: The third analog output, labeled A4 is special. It can be set by the user (see Section 4.6.9) to carry the current signal level of any one of the parameters accessible through the TEST menu of the unit’s software. 270 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Principles Of Operation In its standard configuration, the analyzer comes with all three of these channels set up to output a DC voltage. However, 4-20mA current loop drivers can be purchased for the first two of these outputs, A1 and A2. Output Loop-back: All three of the functioning analog outputs are connected back to the A/D converter through a Loop-back circuit. This permits the voltage outputs to be calibrated by the CPU without need for any additional tools or fixtures 10.4.12. EXTERNAL DIGITAL I/O This External Digital I/O performs two functions. STATUS OUTPUTS: Logic-Level voltages are output through an optically isolated 8pin connector located on the rear panel of the analyzer. These outputs convey good/bad and on/off information about certain analyzer conditions. They can be used to interface with certain types of programmable devices (see Section 5.1.1.1). CONTROL INPUTS: By applying +5VDC power supplied from an external source such as a PLC or Data logger (see Section 5.1.1.2), Zero and Span calibrations can be initiated by contact closures on the rear panel. 10.4.13. I2C DATA BUS I2C is a two-wire, clocked, bi-directional, digital serial I/O bus that is used widely in commercial and consumer electronic systems. A transceiver on the Motherboard converts data and control signals from the PC-104 bus to I2C. The data is then fed to the relay board and optional analog input circuitry. 10.4.14. POWER UP CIRCUIT This circuit monitors the +5V power supply during start-up and sets the analog outputs, external digital I/O ports, and I2C circuitry to specific values until the CPU boots and the instrument software can establish control. 10.5. POWER SUPPLY/ CIRCUIT BREAKER The analyzer operates on 100 VAC, 115 VAC or 230 VAC power at either 50Hz or 60Hz. Individual units are set up at the factory to accept any combination of these five attributes. As illustrated in Figure 10-18 below, power enters the analyzer through a standard IEC 320 power receptacle located on the rear panel of the instrument. From there it is routed through the ON/OFF switch located in the lower right corner of the front panel. AC line power is converted stepped down and converted to DC power by two DC power supplies. One supplies +12 VDC, for various valves and valve options, while a second supply provides +5 VDC and ±15 VDC for logic and analog circuitry as well as the TEC cooler. All AC and DC Voltages are distributed through the Relay Board. 07266B DCN6485 271 Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual Touchscreen USB Chassis Cooling Fan Display PMT Cooling Fan ON/OFF SWITCH TEC Control PCA PMT Preamp AC POWER ENTRANCE LVDS transmitter board CPU RELAY BOARD Mother Board PS 1 (+5 VDC; ±15 VDC) AC POWER DC POWER Temperature Sensors PS 2 (+12 VDC) PMT High Voltage Supply PUMP Pressure Sensor Gas Flow Sensor H2S SO2 Converter Heaters Sample/Cal for Z/S and IZS Valve Options H 2S SO2 Vlavle UV Source Lamp Shutter UV Source Lamp Power Supply UV Source Lamp Shutter IZS Option Permeation Tube Heater Sample Chamber Heaters Figure 10-18.

CAUTION Should the power circuit breaker trip, correct the condition causing this situation before turning the analyzer back on. 272 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Principles Of Operation 10.6. FRONT PANEL/DISPLAY INTERFACE Users can input data and receive information directly through the front panel touchscreen display. The LCD display is controlled directly by the CPU board. The touchscreen is interfaced to the CPU by means of a touchscreen controller that connects to the CPU via the internal USB bus and emulates a computer mouse.

FRONT PANEL INTERFACE PCA The front panel interface PCA controls the various functions of the display and touchscreen. For driving the display it provides connection between the CPU video controller and the LCD display module. This PCA also contains: • power supply circuitry for the LCD display module • a USB hub that is used for communications with the touchscreen controller and the two front panel USB device ports • the circuitry for powering the display backlight 07266B DCN6485 273 Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual 10.7. SOFTWARE OPERATION The T101 H2S analyzer is at its heart a high performance, 386-based microcomputer running MS-DOS. Inside the DOS shell, special software developed by Teledyne API interprets user commands via the various interfaces, performs procedures and tasks, stores data in the CPU’s various memory devices and calculates the concentration of the sample gas. Windows CE API FIRMWARE Memory Handling DAS Records Calibration Data System Status Data Analyzer Operations Calibration Procedures Configuration Procedures Autonomic Systems Diagnostic Routines PC/104 BUS ANALYZER HARDWARE Interface Handling Measurement Algorithm (H2S & SO2 ) Sensor input Data Display Messages Touchscreen Analog Output Data RS232 & RS485 External Digital I/O PC/104 BUS Figure 10-20. Basic Software Operation 10.7.1. ADAPTIVE FILTER The T101 H2S analyzer software processes sample gas measurement and reference data through a built-in adaptive filter built into the software. Unlike other analyzers that average the sensor output signal over a fixed time period, the T101 calculates averages over a set number of samples. During operation, the software automatically switches between two filters of different lengths based on the conditions at hand. During conditions of constant or nearly constant concentration the software computes an average of the last 240 samples. This provides the calculation portion of the software with smooth stable readings. If a rapid change in concentration is detected, the adaptive filter switches modes and only averages the last 48 samples. This allows the analyzer to respond to the rapidly changing concentration more quickly. Once triggered, the short filter remains engaged for a fixed time period to prevent chattering. Two conditions must be simultaneously met to switch to the short filter. First the instantaneous concentration must exceed the average in the long filter by a fixed amount. Second, the instantaneous concentration must exceed the average in the long filter by a portion, or percentage, of the average in the long filter. If necessary, the filter lengths of these two modes may be changed to any value between 1 and 1000 samples. Long sample lengths provide better signal to noise rejection, but poor response times. Conversely shorter filter lengths result in poor signal to noise rejection, but quicker response times. 274 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Principles Of Operation 10.7.2. CALIBRATION - SLOPE AND OFFSET Calibration of the analyzer is performed exclusively in software. During instrument calibration (Chapters 6 and 7) the user enters expected values for zero and span through the front panel keypad and commands the instrument to make readings of sample gases with know concentrations of H2S. The readings taken are adjusted, linearized, and compared to the expected values as input. With this information the software computes values for instrument both slope and offset and stores these values in memory for use in calculating the H2S concentration of the sample gas. Instrument slope and offset values recorded during the last calibration can be viewed by pressing the following keystroke sequence SAMPLE RANGE = 500.0 PPB < TST TST > CAL SAMPLE H2S =XXX.X SETUP TIME = HH:MM:SS < TST TST > CAL SAMPLE =XXX.X RCELL TEMP=50.0C SAMPLE HVPS 553 VOLTS H2S =XXX.X SETUP < TST TST > CAL SAMPLE PMT TEMP=7.0C < TST TST > CAL BOX TEMP=30.0C H2S =XXX.X SETUP H2S =XXX.X SAMPLE SETUP H2S OFFS=XX.X MV < TST TST > CAL SAMPLE =XXX.X H2S H2S =XXX.X SETUP H2S SAMPLE H2S SLOPE=XXX < TST TST > CAL H2S =XXX.X SETUP NOTE Separate slope and offset values are calculated and recorded for H2S and SO2 gas measurements. Here they are shown as they appear when analyzer is in H2S Mode. In SO2 Mode they appear as SO2 OFFS & SO2 SLOPE. In multigas mode, both versions appear. 07266B DCN6485 275 Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual 10.7.3. TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE COMPENSATION (TPC) FEATURE As explained previously, changes in temperature can significantly affect the amount of fluoresced UV light generated in the instrument’s sample chamber. To negate this effect the Model T101 maintains the sample gas at a stable, raised temperature. Pressure changes can also have a noticeable, if more subtle, effect on the H2S concentration calculation. To account for this, the Model T101 software includes a feature which allows the instrument to include a compensation factor in the H2S calculations that is based on changes in ambient pressure. When the TPC feature is enabled, the analyzer’s H2S concentration is divided by a factor called PRESSCO which is based on the ratio between the ambient pressure of the sample gas and standard atmospheric pressure (Equation 10-5). As ambient pressure increases, the compensated H2S concentration is decreased. PRESSCO SAMPLE_PRESSURE (" HG - A) SAMP_PRESS_SLOPE 29.92 (" HG - A) Equation 10-5 SAMPLE-PRESSURE: The ambient pressure of the sample gas as measured by the instrument’s sample pressure sensor (see Figure 10-7) in “Hg-A. SAMP_PRESS_SLOPE: Sample pressure slope correction factor. Section 4.5 describes the method for enabling/disabling the TPC feature. 10.7.4. INTERNAL DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM (DAS ) The DAS is designed to implement predictive diagnostics that stores trending data for users to anticipate when an instrument will require service. Large amounts of data can be stored in non-volatile memory and retrieved in plain text format for further processing with common data analysis programs. The DAS has a consistent user interface in all Teledyne API instruments. New data parameters and triggering events can be added to the instrument as needed. Depending on the sampling frequency and the number of data parameters the DAS can store several months of data, which are retained even when the instrument is powered off or a new firmware is installed. The DAS permits users to access the data through the instrument’s front panel or the remote interface. The latter can automatically download stored data for further processing. For information on using the DAS, refer to Section 4.8. 276 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge 11. A PRIMER ON ELECTRO-STATIC DISCHARGE Teledyne API considers the prevention of damage caused by the discharge of static electricity to be extremely important part of making sure that your analyzer continues to provide reliable service for a long time. This section describes how static electricity occurs, why it is so dangerous to electronic components and assemblies as well as how to prevent that damage from occurring. 11.1. HOW STATIC CHARGES ARE CREATED Modern electronic devices such as the types used in the various electronic assemblies of your analyzer, are very small, require very little power and operate very quickly. Unfortunately, the same characteristics that allow them to do these things also make them very susceptible to damage from the discharge of static electricity. Controlling electrostatic discharge begins with understanding how electro-static charges occur in the first place. Static electricity is the result of something called triboelectric charging which happens whenever the atoms of the surface layers of two materials rub against each other. As the atoms of the two surfaces move together and separate, some electrons from one surface are retained by the other. Materials Makes Contact + Materials Separate + + PROTONS = 3 ELECTRONS = 3 PROTONS = 3 ELECTRONS = 3 NET CHARGE = 0 NET CHARGE = 0 + PROTONS = 3 ELECTRONS = 2 PROTONS = 3 ELECTRONS = 4 NET CHARGE = -1 NET CHARGE = +1 Figure 11-1. Triboelectric Charging If one of the surfaces is a poor conductor or even a good conductor that is not grounded, the resulting positive or negative charge cannot bleed off and becomes trapped in place, or static. The most common example of triboelectric charging happens when someone wearing leather or rubber soled shoes walks across a nylon carpet or linoleum tiled floor. With each step, electrons change places and the resulting electro-static charge builds up, quickly reaching significant levels. Pushing an epoxy printed circuit board across a 07266B DCN6485 277 A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge Model T101 Instruction Manual workbench, using a plastic handled screwdriver or even the constant jostling of Styrofoam TM pellets during shipment can also build hefty static charges Table 11-1.

HOW ELECTRO-STATIC CHARGES CAUSE DAMAGE Damage to components occurs when these static charges come into contact with an electronic device. Current flows as the charge moves along the conductive circuitry of the device and the typically very high voltage levels of the charge overheat the delicate traces of the integrated circuits, melting them or even vaporizing parts of them. When examined by microscope the damage caused by electro-static discharge looks a lot like tiny bomb craters littered across the landscape of the component’s circuitry. A quick comparison of the values in Table 11-1 with the those shown in the Table 11-2, listing device susceptibility levels, shows why Semiconductor Reliability News estimates that approximately 60% of device failures are the result of damage due to electro-static discharge. Table 11-2.

Even simple contact of a finger to the leads of a sensitive device or assembly can allow enough discharge to cause damage. A similar discharge can occur from a charged conductive object, such as a metallic tool or fixture. When static charges accumulated on a sensitive device discharges from the device to another surface such as packaging materials, work surfaces, machine surfaces or other device. In some cases, charged device discharges can be the most destructive. A typical example of this is the simple act of installing an electronic assembly into the connector or wiring harness of the equipment in which it is to function. If the assembly is carrying a static charge, as it is connected to ground a discharge will occur. Whenever a sensitive device is moved into the field of an existing electro-static field, a charge may be induced on the device in effect discharging the field onto the device. If the device is then momentarily grounded while within the electrostatic field or removed from the region of the electrostatic field and grounded somewhere else, a second discharge will occur as the charge is transferred from the device to ground. 11.3. COMMON MYTHS ABOUT ESD DAMAGE I didn’t feel a shock so there was no electro-static discharge: The human nervous system isn’t able to feel a static discharge of less than 3500 volts. Most devices are damaged by discharge levels much lower than that. I didn’t touch it so there was no electro-static discharge: Electrostatic charges are fields whose lines of force can extend several inches or sometimes even feet away from the surface bearing the charge. It still works so there was no damage: Sometimes the damaged caused by electro-static discharge can completely sever a circuit trace causing the device to fail immediately. More likely, the trace will be only partially occluded by the damage causing degraded performance of the device or worse, weakening the trace. This weakened circuit may seem to function fine for a short time, but even the very low voltage and current levels of the device’s normal operating levels will eat away at the defect over time causing the device to fail well before its designed lifetime is reached. These latent failures are often the most costly since the failure of the equipment in which the damaged device is installed causes down time, lost data, lost productivity, as well as possible failure and damage to other pieces of equipment or property. Static Charges can’t build up on a conductive surface: There are two errors in this statement: Conductive devices can build static charges if they are not grounded. The charge will be equalized across the entire device, but without access to earth ground, they are still trapped and can still build to high enough levels to cause damage when they are discharged. A charge can be induced onto the conductive surface and/or discharge triggered in the presence of a charged field such as a large static charge clinging to the surface of a nylon jacket of someone walking up to a workbench. 07266B DCN6485 279 A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge Model T101 Instruction Manual As long as my analyzer is properly installed, it is safe from damage caused by static discharges: It is true that when properly installed the chassis ground of your analyzer is tied to earth ground and its electronic components are prevented from building static electric charges themselves. This does not prevent discharges from static fields built up on other things, like you and your clothing, from discharging through the instrument and damaging it. 11.4. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF STATIC CONTROL It is impossible to stop the creation of instantaneous static electric charges. It is not, however difficult to prevent those charges from building to dangerous levels or prevent damage due to electro-static discharge from occurring. 11.4.1. GENERAL RULES Only handle or work on all electronic assemblies at a properly set up ESD station. Setting up an ESD safe workstation need not be complicated. A protective mat properly tied to ground and a wrist strap are all that is needed to create a basic anti-ESD workstation (see figure 11-2). P r o t e c t iv e M a t W r is t S t r a p G r o u n d P o in t Figure 11-2. Basic anti-ESD Work Station For technicians that work in the field, special lightweight and portable anti-ESD kits are available from most suppliers of ESD protection gear. These include everything needed to create a temporary anti-ESD work area anywhere. Always wear an Anti-ESD wrist strap when working on the electronic assemblies of your analyzer. An anti-ESD wrist strap keeps the person wearing it at or near the same potential as other grounded objects in the work area and allows static charges to dissipate before they can build to dangerous levels. Anti-ESD wrist straps terminated with alligator clips are available for use in work areas where there is no available grounded plug. Also, anti-ESD wrist straps include a current limiting resistor (usually around one megohm) that protects you should you accidentally short yourself to the instrument’s power supply. 280 Simply touching a grounded piece of metal is insufficient. While this may temporarily bleed off static charges present at the time, once you stop touching the grounded metal new static charges will immediately begin to re-build. In some conditions, a charge large enough to damage a component can rebuild in just a few seconds. 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge Always store sensitive components and assemblies in anti-ESD storage bags or bins: Even when you are not working on them, store all devices and assemblies in a closed anti-Static bag or bin. This will prevent induced charges from building up on the device or assembly and nearby static fields from discharging through it. Use metallic anti-ESD bags for storing and shipping ESD sensitive components and assemblies rather than pink-poly bags. The famous, “pink-poly” bags are made of a plastic that is impregnated with a liquid (similar to liquid laundry detergent) which very slowly sweats onto the surface of the plastic creating a slightly conductive layer over the surface of the bag. While this layer may equalizes any charges that occur across the whole bag, it does not prevent the build up of static charges. If laying on a conductive, grounded surface, these bags will allow charges to bleed away but the very charges that build up on the surface of the bag itself can be transferred through the bag by induction onto the circuits of your ESD sensitive device. Also, the liquid impregnating the plastic is eventually used up after which the bag is as useless for preventing damage from ESD as any ordinary plastic bag. Anti-Static bags made of plastic impregnated with metal (usually silvery in color) provide all of the charge equalizing abilities of the pink-poly bags but also, when properly sealed, create a Faraday cage that completely isolates the contents from discharges and the inductive transfer of static charges. Storage bins made of plastic impregnated with carbon (usually black in color) are also excellent at dissipating static charges and isolating their contents from field effects and discharges. 07266B DCN6485 Never use ordinary plastic adhesive tape near an ESD sensitive device or to close an anti-ESD bag. The act of pulling a piece of standard plastic adhesive tape, such as Scotch® tape, from its roll will generate a static charge of several thousand or even tens of thousands of volts on the tape itself and an associated field effect that can discharge through or be induced upon items up to a foot away. 281 A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge Model T101 Instruction Manual 11.4.2. BASIC ANTI-ESD PROCEDURES FOR ANALYZER REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE 11.4.2.1. Working at the Instrument Rack When working on the analyzer while it is in the instrument rack and plugged into a properly grounded power supply. 1. Attach your anti-ESD wrist strap to ground before doing anything else. Use a wrist strap terminated with an alligator clip and attach it to a bare metal portion of the instrument chassis. This will safely connect you to the same ground level to which the instrument and all of its components are connected. 2. Pause for a second or two to allow any static charges to bleed away. 3. Open the casing of the analyzer and begin work. Up to this point, the closed metal casing of your analyzer has isolated the components and assemblies inside from any conducted or induced static charges. 4. If you must remove a component from the instrument, do not lay it down on a non-ESD preventative surface where static charges may lie in wait. 5. Only disconnect your wrist strap after you have finished work and closed the case of the analyzer. 11.4.2.2. Working at an Anti-ESD Work Bench. When working on an instrument of an electronic assembly while it is resting on an antiESD work bench: 1. Plug your anti-ESD wrist strap into the grounded receptacle of the work station before touching any items on the work station and while standing at least a foot or so away. This will allow any charges you are carrying to bleed away through the ground connection of the workstation and prevent discharges due to field effects and induction from occurring. 2. Pause for a second or two to allow any static charges to bleed away. 3. Only open any anti-ESD storage bins or bags containing sensitive devices or assemblies after you have plugged your wrist strap into the workstation. Lay the bag or bin on the workbench surface. Before opening the container, wait several seconds for any static charges on the outside surface of the container to be bled away by the workstation’s grounded protective mat. 4. Do not pick up tools that may be carrying static charges while also touching or holding an ESD Sensitive Device. Only lay tools or ESD-sensitive devices and assemblies on the conductive surface of your workstation. Never lay them down on any non-ESD preventative surface. 5. Place any static sensitive devices or assemblies in anti-static storage bags or bins and close the bag or bin before unplugging your wrist strap. 282 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge 6. Disconnecting your wrist strap is always the last action taken before leaving the workbench. 11.4.2.3. Transferring Components from Rack to Bench and Back When transferring a sensitive device from an installed Teledyne API analyzer to an Anti-ESD workbench or back: 1. Follow the instructions listed above for working at the instrument rack and workstation. 2. Never carry the component or assembly without placing it in an anti-ESD bag or bin. 3. Before using the bag or container allow any surface charges on it to dissipate: If you are at the instrument rack, hold the bag in one hand while your wrist strap is connected to a ground point. If you are at an anti-ESD workbench, lay the container down on the conductive work surface. In either case wait several seconds. 4. Place the item in the container. 5. Seal the container. If using a bag, fold the end over and fastening it with anti-ESD tape. Folding the open end over isolates the component(s) inside from the effects of static fields. Leaving the bag open or simply stapling it shut without folding it closed prevents the bag from forming a complete protective envelope around the device. 6. Once you have arrived at your destination, allow any surface charges that may have built up on the bag or bin during travel to dissipate: Connect your wrist strap to ground. If you are at the instrument rack, hold the bag in one hand while your wrist strap is connected to a ground point. If you are at a anti-ESD work bench, lay the container down on the conductive work surface In either case wait several seconds 7. Open the container. 11.4.2.4. Opening Shipments from Teledyne API Packing materials such as bubble pack and Styrofoam pellets are extremely efficient generators of static electric charges. To prevent damage from ESD, Teledyne API ships all electronic components and assemblies in properly sealed anti-ESD containers. Static charges will build up on the outer surface of the anti-ESD container during shipping as the packing materials vibrate and rub against each other. To prevent these 07266B DCN6485 283 A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge Model T101 Instruction Manual static charges from damaging the components or assemblies being shipped make sure that you always unpack shipments from Teledyne API by: 1. Opening the outer shipping box away from the anti-ESD work area. 2. Carry the still sealed ant-ESD bag, tube or bin to the anti-ESD work area. 3. Follow steps 6 and 7 of Section 11.4.2.4 above when opening the antiESD container at the work station. 4. Reserve the anti-ESD container or bag to use when packing electronic components or assemblies to be returned to Teledyne API. 11.4.2.5. Packing Components for Return to Teledyne API Always pack electronic components and assemblies to be sent to Teledyne API Technical Support in anti-ESD bins, tubes or bags. WARNING DO NOT use pink-poly bags. NEVER allow any standard plastic packaging materials to touch the electronic component/assembly directly. This includes, but is not limited to, plastic bubble-pack, Styrofoam peanuts, open cell foam, closed cell foam, and adhesive tape. DO NOT use standard adhesive tape as a sealer. Use ONLY anti-ESD tape. 1. Never carry the component or assembly without placing it in an anti-ESD bag or bin. 2. Before using the bag or container allow any surface charges on it to dissipate: If you are at the instrument rack, hold the bag in one hand while your wrist strap is connected to a ground point. If you are at an anti-ESD workbench, lay the container down on the conductive work surface. In either case wait several seconds. 3. Place the item in the container. 4. Seal the container. If using a bag, fold the end over and fastening it with anti-ESD tape. Folding the open end over isolates the component(s) inside from the effects of static fields. Leaving the bag open or simply stapling it shut without folding it closed prevents the bag from forming a complete protective envelope around the device. NOTE If you do not already have an adequate supply of anti-ESD bags or containers available, Teledyne API’s Technical Support department will supply them. Follow the instructions listed above for working at the instrument rack and workstation. 284 07266B DCN6485 Model T101 Instruction Manual Clossary GLOSSARY Note: Some terms in this glossary may not occur elsewhere in this manual.
