Remove dust plugs prior to operating instrument. It is recommended that you store shipping
containers/materials, including shipping screws and dust plugs for the pneumatic ports, for future use
if/when the instrument should be returned to the factory for repair and/or calibration service. See
Warranty section in this manual and shipping procedures on our Website at
http://www.teledyne-api.com under Customer Support > Return Authorization.
1. Inspect the received packages for external shipping damage. If damaged,
please advise the shipper first, then Teledyne API.
2. Included with your analyzer is a printed record (Form number 04551) of
the final performance characterization performed on your instrument at
the factory. This record is an important quality assurance and calibration
record for this instrument. It should be placed in the quality records file
for this instrument.

3.4. PNEUMATIC CONNECTIONS
CAUTION!
Do not operate this instrument until you’ve removed dust plugs from SAMPLE and
EXHAUST ports on the rear panel. (Plugs were inserted into the rear panel pneumatic
fittings to prevent dust from getting into the analyzer. It is recommended that these
dust plugs be stored for future use such as shipping or storage.
Sample and calibration gases should only come into contact with PTFE (Teflon) or glass
materials. They should not come in contact with FEP or stainless steel materials.
Figure 3-11 and Figure 3-12 show the most common configurations for gas supply and
exhaust lines to the Model T101 Analyzer. Figure 3-14 shows the connections for units

Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Getting Started
43
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.

ZERO AIR
Zero air is similar in chemical composition to the earth’s atmosphere but without the gas
being measured by the analyzer, in this case H2S. 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.

The state of the zero/span valves can also be controlled:
Manually from the analyzer’s front panel by using the SIGNAL I/O
controls located under the DIAG Menu (Section 4.6.1),
By activating the instrument’s AutoCal feature (Section 4.4.2),
Remotely by using the external digital control inputs (Section 5.1.1.2 and
Section 6.7.1), or
Remotely through the RS-232/485 serial I/O ports (see Appendix A for the
appropriate commands).
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
Getting Started Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual
48
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.

The state of the IZS valves can also be controlled:
Manually from the analyzer’s front panel by using the SIGNAL I/O
controls located under the DIAG Menu (Section 4.6.1),
By activating the instrument’s AutoCal feature (Section 6.9),
Remotely by using the external digital control inputs (Section 5.1.1.2 and
Section 6.7.1), or
Remotely through the RS-232/485 serial I/O ports (see Appendix A-6 for
the appropriate commands).
3.5. STARTUP, FUNCTIONAL CHECKS, AND INITIAL
CALIBRATION
If you are unfamiliar with the T101 theory of operation, we recommend that you read
Section 10 before proceeding.
For information on 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.

3.5.4. FUNCTIONAL CHECK
1. After the analyzer’s components have warmed up for at least 30 minutes,
verify that the software properly supports any hardware options that were
installed.
2. Check to make sure that the analyzer is functioning within allowable
operating parameters. Appendix C includes a list of test functions viewable
from the analyzer’s front panel as well as their expected values. These
functions are also useful tools for diagnosing performance problems with
your analyzer (Section 9.1.2). The enclosed Final Test and Validation Data
sheet (part number 04551) lists these values before the instrument left
the factory.
To view the current values of these parameters press the following button
sequence on the analyzer’s front panel. Remember until the unit has
completed its warm up these parameters may not have stabilized.

3.6. 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.

3.6.2. INTERFERENCES FOR H2S MEASUREMENTS
It should be noted that the fluorescence method for detecting H2S is subject to
interference from a number of sources. Since the T101 converts 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

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

Finally, the various CAL modes allow calibration of the analyzer. Calibration is described
in Section 6.
4.2. SAMPLE MODE
This is the analyzer’s standard operating mode. In this mode, the instrument is analyzing
H2S and calculating concentrations.
4.2.1. TEST FUNCTIONS
A series of test functions is available at the front panel while the analyzer is in SAMPLE
mode. These parameters provide information about the present operating status of the
instrument and are useful during troubleshooting (Section 9.1.2). They can also be
recorded in one of the DAS channels (Section 4.8) for data analysis. To view the test
functions, press one of the <TST TST> buttons repeatedly in either direction.

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. When the calibration password has been enabled using the PASS menu item
found under the Setup Menu (Section 4.4.5), the system will prompt the user for a

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
07266B DCN6485
Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Operating Instructions
67
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 SO2
SO2 – H2S H
2S
Channel Mode Mode Mode
A1  SO2  SO2  H
2S
A2  SO2  H
2S  H
2S
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 <TST TST> 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.

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).

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).

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.

NOTE
On analyzers with the multigas option activated (see Sections 4.5.1 and 6.8) the titles
displayed on the instrument’s front panel during the previous operation appear as:
LOW range appears as SO2 RANGE
high range appears as H2S RANGE
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.
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

Also, The analyzer will switch between the HIGH and LOW analog reporting ranges
whenever the concentration level of the gas being currently measured fulfills the trigger
criteria listed at the beginning of this section.
4.4.4.7. Range Units
The T101 can display concentrations in parts per billion (109 mols per mol, PPB), parts
per million (106 mols per mol, PPM), micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3, UG) or
milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3, MG). Changing units affects all of the display,

4.4.4.8. Dilution Ratio
The dilution ratio is a software option that allows the user to compensate for any dilution
of the sample gas before it enters the sample inlet.
1. Select reporting range units: Follow the procedure in Section 4.4.4.7.
2. Select the range: Use the procedures in Section 4.4.4.3 – 4.4.4.6.
Make 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. Set the dilution factor as a gain (e.g., a value of 20 means 20 parts
diluent and 1 part of sample gas):

The menu system provides password protection of the calibration and setup functions to
prevent unauthorized adjustments. When the passwords have been enabled in the PASS
menu item, the system will prompt the user for a password anytime a password-protected
function (e.g., SETUP) is selected. This allows normal operation of the instrument, but
requires the password (101) to access to the menus under SETUP. When PASSWORD is
disabled (SETUP>OFF), any operator can enter the Primary Setup (SETUP) and
Secondary Setup (SETUP>MORE) menus. Whether PASSWORD is enabled or disabled,
a password (default 818) is required to enter the VARS or DIAG menus in the

4.5.1. SETTING THE GAS MEASUREMENT MODE
If the switching valves software is activated, the T101 can be set to one of three gas
measurement modes:
H2S
The sample gas stream is stripped of any ambient SO2 by a special
chemical scrubber, then passed through a catalytic converter that changes
the H2S present into SO2 which is then measured using the UV
Fluorescence method
SO2
The sample gas stream bypasses the SO2 Scrubber and catalytic converter
allowing the only ambient SO2 to be measured.
H2S – SO2
The switching valve alternates the gas stream between the two paths at
regular intervals allowing the instrument to measure both gases.
To select one of these three measurement modes (see Section 10.3.2 for additional
details), press:

For each of 8 external analog inputs channels, shows the gain, offset, engineering
units, and whether the channel is to show up as a Test function.
To configure the analyzer’s four analog outputs, set the electronic signal type of each
channel and calibrate the outputs. This consists of:
Selecting an output type (voltage or current, if an optional current output driver has
been installed) and the signal level that matches the input requirements of the
recording device attached to the channel (Section 4.6.3.1).
Calibrating the output channel. This can be done automatically or manually for each
channel (Sections 4.6.3.2 and 4.6.3.3).
Adding a bipolar recorder offset to the signal, if required (Section 4.6.3.4)
In its standard configuration, the analyzer’s outputs can be set for the following DC
voltages. Each range is usable from -5% to + 5% of the nominal range.

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

4.6.3.3. 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).
The software allows this adjustment to be made in 100, 10 or 1 count increments.
Table 4-13. Voltage Tolerances for Analog Output Calibration
Full Scale Zero Tolerance Span Voltage Span Tolerance
0.1 VDC ±0.0005V 90 mV ±0.001V
1 VDC ±0.001V 900 mV ±0.001V
5 VDC ±0.002V 4500 mV ±0.003V
10 VDC ±0.004V 4500 mV ±0.006V

4.6.3.4. 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),

4.6.3.5. 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.
07266B DCN6485
Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Operating Instructions
93
Similar to the voltage calibration, the software allows this current adjustment to be made
in 100, 10 or 1 count increments. Since the exact current increment per voltage count
varies from output to output and from instrument to instrument, you will need to measure
the change in the current with a current meter placed in series with the output circuit
(Figure 4-5).

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

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

4.6.6. 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.

4.6.7. PRESSURE CALIBRATION
A sensor at the exit of the sample chamber continuously measures the pressure of the
sample gas. This data is used to compensate the final H2S concentration calculation for
changes in atmospheric pressure when the instrument’s TPC feature (see Section 10.7.3)
is turned on and is stored in the CPU’s memory as the test function PRES (also viewable

4.7. 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.

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 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
Operating Instructions Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual
106
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. Hayes-
compatible) 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).
07266B DCN6485
Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Operating Instructions
107
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
Operating Instructions Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual
108
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.

4.7.7. 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.teledyne-
api.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.

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

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”).

4.7.10. 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
QUIET
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).

4.8. USING THE DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM (DAS )
The T101 analyzer contains a flexible and powerful, internal data acquisition system
(DAS ) that enables the analyzer to store concentration and calibration data as well as a
host of diagnostic parameters. The DAS of the T101 can store several months of data,
depending on how it is configured. The data are stored in non-volatile memory and are
retained even when the instrument is powered off. Data are stored in plain text format for
easy retrieval and use in common data analysis programs (such as spreadsheet-type
programs).
The DAS is designed to be flexible, users have full control over the type, length and
reporting time of the data. The DAS permits users to access stored data through the
instrument’s front panel or its communication ports. Using APICOM, data can even be
retrieved automatically to a remote computer for further processing.
The principal use of the DAS is logging data for trend analysis and predictive diagnostics,
which can assist in identifying possible problems before they affect the functionality of
the analyzer. The secondary use is for data analysis, documentation and archival in
electronic format.
To support the DAS functionality, Teledyne API offers APICOM, a program that
provides a visual interface for remote or local setup, configuration and data retrieval of
07266B DCN6485
Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Operating Instructions
125
the DAS (Section 4.8). The APICOM manual, which is included with the program,
contains a more detailed description of the DAS structure and configuration, which is
briefly described in this section.
The T101 is configured with a basic DAS configuration, which is enabled by default.
New data channels are also enabled by default but each channel may be turned off for
later or occasional use. Note that DAS operation is suspended while its configuration is
edited through the front panel. To prevent such data loss, it is recommended to use the
APICOM graphical user interface for DAS changes.
The green SAMPLE LED on the instrument front panel, which indicates the analyzer
status, also indicates certain aspects of the DAS status:
Table 4-20. Front Panel LED Status Indicators for DAS
LED
STATE DAS STATUS
Off System is in calibration mode. Data logging can be enabled or disabled
for this mode. Calibration data are typically stored at the end of
calibration periods, concentration data are typically not sampled,
diagnostic data should be collected.
Blinking Instrument is in hold-off mode, a short period after the system exits
calibrations. DAS channels can be enabled or disabled for this period.
Concentration data are typically disabled whereas diagnostic should be
collected.
On Sampling normally.
The DAS can be disabled only by disabling or deleting its individual data channels.
4.8.1. DAS STRUCTURE
The DAS is designed around the feature of a “record”. A record is a single data point of
one parameter, stored in one (or more) data channels and generated by one of several
triggering event. The entire DAS configuration is stored in a script, which can be edited
from the front panel or downloaded, edited and uploaded to the instrument in form of a
string of plain-text lines through the communication ports.
DAS data are defined by the PARAMETER type and are stored through different
triggering EVENTS in data CHANNELS, which relate triggering events to data
parameters and define certain operational functions related to the recording and reporting
of the data.
4.8.1.1. DAS Channels
The key to the flexibility of the DAS is its ability to store a large number of combinations
of triggering events and data parameters in the form of data channels. Users may create
up to 20 data channels and each channel can contain one or more parameters. For each
channel one triggering event is selected and up to 50 data parameters, which can be the
same or different between channels. Each data channel has several properties that define
the structure of the channel and allow the user to make operational decisions regarding
the channel (Table 4-20).

OFF OFF or ON
4.8.1.2. DAS Parameters
Data parameters are types of data that may be measured and stored by the DAS . For each
Teledyne API analyzer model, the list of available data parameters is different, fully
defined and not customizable. Appendix A-5 lists firmware specific data parameters for
the T101. The most common parameters are concentrations of measured gases (H2S, H2S
and NO2), temperatures of heated zones (converter, sample chamber, box temperature…),
pressures and flows of the pneumatic subsystem and other diagnostic measurements as
well as calibration data (slope and offset) for each gas.
Most data parameters have associated measurement units, such as mV, ppb, cm³/min, etc.,
although some parameters have no units. The only units that can be changed are those of
the concentration readings according to the SETUP-RANGE settings. Note that the DAS
does not keep track of the unit of each concentration value and DAS data files may
contain concentrations in multiple units if the unit was changed during data acquisition.
Each data parameter has user-configurable functions that define how the data are recorded
(Table 4-21).

average for a parameter. This property is only useful when the
AVG sample mode is used. Note that the number of samples is
the same for all parameters in one channel and needs to be
specified only for one of the parameters in that channel.
4.8.1.3. DAS Configuration Limits
Users can specify up to 50 parameters per data channel (the T101 provides about 30
parameters). However, the number of DAS objects are limited by the instrument’s finite
storage capacity. 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.
4.8.1.4. DAS Triggering Events
Triggering events define when and how the DAS records a measurement of any given
data channel. Triggering events are firmware-specific and are listed in Appendix A. The
most common triggering events are:
ATIMER: Sampling at regular intervals specified by an automatic timer.
Most trending information is usually stored at such regular intervals, which
can be instantaneous or averaged.
EXITZR, EXITSP, SLPCHG (exit zero, exit span, slope change):
Sampling at the end of (irregularly occurring) calibrations or when the
response slope changes. These triggering events create instantaneous
data points, e.g., for the new slope and offset (concentration response)
values at the end of a calibration. Zero and slope values are valuable to
monitor response drift and to document when the instrument was
calibrated.
WARNINGS: Some data may be useful when stored if one of several
warning messages appears. This is helpful for trouble-shooting by
monitoring when a particular warning occurred.

4.8.2. DEFAULT DAS CHANNELS
A set of default Data Channels has been included in the analyzer’s software for logging
H2S concentration and certain predictive diagnostic data. These default channels include
but are not limited to:
CONC: Samples H2S concentration at one minute intervals and stores an average every
hour with a time and date stamp. Readings during calibration and calibration hold off are
not included in the data. By default, the last 800 hourly averages are stored.
PNUMTC: Collects sample flow and sample pressure data at five minute intervals and
stores an average once a day with a time and date stamp. This data is useful for
monitoring the condition of the pump and critical flow orifice (sample flow) and the
sample filter (clogging indicated by a drop in sample pressure) over time to predict when
maintenance will be required. The last 360 daily averages (about 1 year) are stored.
CALDAT: Logs new slope and offset every time a zero or span calibration is performed.
This Data Channel also records the instrument reading just prior to performing a
calibration. Note: this Data Channel collects data based on an event (a calibration) rather
than a timer. This Data Channel will store data from the last 200 calibrations. This does
not represent any specific length of time since it is dependent on how often calibrations
are performed. As with all Data Channels, a time and date stamp is recorded for every
data point logged.

4.8.2.4. Editing DAS Parameters
Data channels can be edited individually from the front panel without affecting other data
channels. However, when editing a data channel, such as during adding, deleting or
editing parameters, all data for that particular channel will be lost, because the DAS can
store only data of one format (number of parameter columns etc.) for any given channel.
In addition, an DAS configuration can only be uploaded remotely as an entire set of
channels. Hence, remote update of the DAS will always delete all current channels and
stored data.
To modify, add or delete a parameter, follow the instruction shown in Section 4.11.2.2

4.8.2.5. Sample Period and Report Period
The DAS defines two principal time periods by which sample readings are taken and
permanently recorded:
SAMPLE PERIOD: Determines how often DAS temporarily records a sample reading
of the parameter in volatile memory. The SAMPLE PERIOD is set to one minute by
default and generally cannot be accessed from the standard DAS front panel menu, but is
available via the instrument’s communication ports by using APICOM or the analyzer’s
standard serial data protocol.
07266B DCN6485
Operating Instructions Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual
136
SAMPLE PERIOD is only used when the DAS parameter’s sample mode is set for
AVG, MIN or MAX.
REPORT PERIOD: Sets how often the sample readings stored in volatile memory are
processed, (e.g. average, minimum or maximum are calculated) and the results stored
permanently in the instrument’s Disk-on-module as well as transmitted via the analyzer’s
communication ports. The REPORT PERIOD may be set from the front panel.
If the INST sample mode is selected the instrument stores and reports an instantaneous
reading of the selected parameter at the end of the chosen REPORT PERIOD
In AVG, MIN or MAX sample modes, the settings for the SAMPLE PERIOD and the
REPORT PERIOD determine the number of data points used each time the average,
minimum or maximum is calculated, stored and reported to the COMM ports. The actual
sample readings are not stored past the end of the of the chosen REPORT PERIOD.
Also, the SAMPLE PERIOD and REPORT PERIOD intervals are synchronized to the
beginning and end of the appropriate interval of the instrument’s internal clock.
If SAMPLE PERIOD were set for one minute the first reading would occur
at the beginning of the next full minute according to the instrument’s
internal clock.
If the REPORT PERIOD were set for of one hour the first report activity
would occur at the beginning of the next full hour according to the
instrument’s internal clock.
EXAMPLE: Given the above settings, if DAS were activated at 7:57:35 the first sample
would occur at 7:58 and the first report would be calculated at 8:00 consisting of data
points for 7:58. 7:59 and 8:00.
During the next hour (from 8:01 to 9:00) the instrument will take a sample reading every
minute and include 60 sample readings.
When the STORE NUM. SAMPLES feature is turned on the instrument will also store
how many sample readings were used for the AVG, MIN or MAX calculation but not the
readings themselves.
REPORT PERIODS IN PROGRESS WHEN INSTRUMENT IS POWERED OFF
If the instrument is powered off in the middle of a REPORT PERIOD, the samples
accumulated so far during that period are lost. Once the instrument is turned back on, the
DAS restarts taking samples and temporarily them in volatile memory as part of the
REPORT PERIOD currently active at the time of restart. At the end of this REPORT
PERIOD only the sample readings taken since the instrument was turned back on will be
included in any AVG, MIN or MAX calculation. Also, the STORE NUM. SAMPLES
feature will report the number of sample readings taken since the instrument was
restarted.

4.8.2.6. 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

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

4.8.3. REMOTE DAS CONFIGURATION
Editing channels, parameters and triggering events as described in this section is can be
performed via the APICOM remote control program using the graphic interface shown in
Figure 4-15. 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.teledyne-
api.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.

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). The function of each pin is defined in Table 5–1.

5.1.2. 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.
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.

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.

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 <CR>
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 ? <CR> or refer to Appendix A-
6 for a list of available command designators.
<CR> is a carriage return. All commands must be terminated by a
carriage return (usually achieved by pressing the ENTER key on a
computer).

5.1.2.4. Data Types
Data types consist of integers, hexadecimal integers, floating-point numbers, Boolean
expressions and text strings.
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
149
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 RS-
232 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
Remote Operation Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual
150
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<CRLF>
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.
<CRLF> 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.

5.1.2.8. 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 trouble-
shooting. 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

5.1.4. 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.

5.1.4.7. Setting Hessen Protocol Status Flags
Teledyne API’s implementation of Hessen protocols includes a set of status bits that the
instrument includes in responses to inform the host computer of its condition. 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
NOTES
It is possible to assign more than one flag to the same Hessen status bit. This allows the
grouping of similar flags, such as all temperature warnings, under the same status bit.
Be careful not to assign conflicting flags to the same bit as each status bit will be
triggered if any of the assigned flags is active.

6. 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:
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).
07266B DCN6485
Calibration Procedures Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual
164
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.
07266B DCN6485
Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual Calibration Procedures
165
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.

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. See Section 6.8 for instructions on calibrating analyzers configured for
multigas measurement mode.
NOTE on Calibration and Calibration Checks
If you wish to perform a calibration CHECK, do not press ENTR - see Section 6.3.
Pressing ENTR during the following procedure re-calculates the stored values for H2S OFFS1 and H2S
SLOPE1 (instrument response curve) and alters the instrument’s calibration.

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

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)

6.5. 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.

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).

6.7. 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:

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
Calibration Procedures Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual
178
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:

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 user-
defined 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.

MODE ACTION
DISABLED Disables the sequence
ZERO Causes the sequence to perform a zero calibration or check

Each mode has seven parameters that control operational details of the sequence
(Table 6-3).

6.10. CALIBRATION QUALITY
After completing one of the calibration procedures described above, it is important to
evaluate the analyzer’s calibration slope and offset parameters. These values describe the
linear response curve of the analyzer. The values for these terms, both individually and
relative to each other, indicate the quality of the calibration. To perform this quality
evaluation, you will need to record the values of both test functions (Section 4.2.1 or
Appendix A-3), all of which are automatically stored in the DAS channel CALDAT for
data analysis, documentation and archival.
Make sure that these parameters are within the limits listed in Table 6-5.
Table 6-5. Example Auto-Cal Sequence
FUNCTION MINIMUM VALUE OPTIMUM VALUE MAXIMUM VALUE
H2S SLOPE1 -0.700 1.000 1.300
H2S OFFS1 -50.0 mV <100 250.0 mV
These values should not be significantly different from the values recorded on the Teledyne API Final Test
and Validation Data sheet that was shipped with your instrument. If they are, refer to the troubleshooting
Section 9.

7. EPA PROTOCOL CALIBRATION
7.1. CALIBRATION REQUIREMENTS
When configured for SO2 measurement mode or multigas measurement mode, the T101
may be used for EPA SLAMS monitoring. In these cases it must be calibrated in
accordance with the instructions in this section.
At the writing of this manual there is no EPA requirements for the monitoring of H2S or
published H2S calibration protocols, therefore these instruction only discuss the
calibration of the SO2 measurement feature.
In order to insure that high quality, accurate measurements are obtained at all times, the
T101 must be calibrated prior to use. A quality assurance program centered on this aspect
and including attention to the built-in warning features of the T101, periodic inspection,
regular zero/span checks and routine maintenance is paramount to achieving this.
In order to have a better understanding of the factors involved in assuring continuous and
reliable information from the T101, it is strongly recommended that Publication No. PB
273-518 Quality Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems
(abbreviated, Q.A. Handbook) be purchased from the NTIS (phone 703-605-6000).
Special attention should be paid to Section 2.9 of the handbook which deals with
fluorescence based SO2 analyzers and upon which most of this section is based. Specific
regulations regarding the use and operation of ambient hydrogen sulfide analyzers can be
found in 40 CFR 50 and 40 CFR 58. Both publications are available from the U.S.
Government Printing Office (phone 202-512-0327).
7.1.1. CALIBRATION OF EQUIPMENT
In general, calibration is the process of adjusting the gain and offset of the T101 against
some recognized standard. The reliability and usefulness of all data derived from any
analyzer depends primarily upon its state of calibration. In this section the term dynamic
calibration is used to express a multipoint check against known standards and involves
introducing gas samples of known concentration into the instrument in order to adjust the
instrument to a predetermined sensitivity and to produce a calibration relationship. This
relationship is derived from the instrumental response to successive samples of different
known concentrations. As a minimum, three reference points and a zero point are
recommended to define this relationship. The true values of the calibration gas must be
traceable to NIST-SRM's See Table 7.1.
All monitoring instrument systems are subject to some drift and variation in internal
parameters and cannot be expected to maintain accurate calibration over long periods of
07266B DCN6485
EPA Protocol Calibration Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual
188
time. Therefore, it is necessary to dynamically check the calibration relationship on a
predetermined schedule. Zero and span checks must be used to document that the data
remains within control limits. These checks are also used in data reduction and validation.
Table 7-3 summarizes the initial quality assurance activities for calibrating equipment.
Table 7-2 is a matrix for the actual dynamic calibration procedure.
Calibrations should be carried out at the field monitoring site. The Analyzer should be in
operation for at least several hours (preferably overnight) before calibration so that it is
fully warmed up and its operation has stabilized. During the calibration, the T101 should
be in the CAL mode, and therefore sample the test atmosphere through all components
used during normal ambient sampling and through as much of the ambient air inlet
system as is practicable. If the Instrument will be used on more than one range (i.e. IND
or AUTO ranges), it should be calibrated separately on each applicable range. Calibration
documentation should be maintained with each analyzer and also in a central backup file.

7.1.2. DATA RECORDING DEVICE
Either a strip chart recorder, data acquisition system, digital data acquisition system
should be used to record the data from the Mode; T101 RS-232 port or analog outputs. If
analog readings are being used, the response of that system should be checked against a
NIST referenced voltage source or meter. Data recording device should be capable of bi-
polar operation so that negative readings can be recorded.
7.1.3. RECOMMENDED STANDARDS FOR ESTABLISHING
TRACEABILITY
To assure data of desired quality, two considerations are essential: (1) the measurement
process must be in statistical control at the time of the measurement and (2) the
systematic errors, when combined with the random variation in the measurement process,
must result in a suitably small uncertainty.
Evidence of good quality data includes documentation of the quality control checks and
the independent audits of the measurement process by recording data on specific forms or
on a quality control chart and by using materials, instruments, and measurement
procedures that can be traced to appropriate standards of reference. To establish
traceability, data must be obtained routinely by repeat measurements of standard
reference samples (primary, secondary, and/or working standards). More specifically,
working calibration standards must be traceable to standards of higher accuracy, such as
those listed in Table 7-1.
Cylinders of working gas traceable to NIST-SRM's (called EPA Protocol Calibration
Gas) are also commercially available (from sources such as Scott Specialty Gases, etc.).
7.1.4. EPA CALIBRATION USING PERMEATION TUBES
Teledyne API does not recommend the use of permeation tubes as a source of span gas
for EPA protocol calibration operations.
07266B DCN6485
EPA Protocol Calibration Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual

7.1.5. CALIBRATION FREQUENCY
To ensure accurate measurements of the SO2 concentrations, calibrate the analyzer at the
time of installation, and re-calibrate it:
No later than three months after the most recent calibration
or performance audit which indicated that the analyzer
calibration was found to be acceptable.
An interruption of more than a few days in analyzer
operation.
Any repairs which might affect its calibration.
Physical relocation of the analyzer.
Any other indication (including excessive zero or span drift)
of possible significant inaccuracy of the analyzer.
Following any of the activities listed above, the zero and span should be checked to
determine if a calibration is necessary. If the analyzer zero and span drifts exceed locally
established calibration units or the calibration limits in Section 2.0.9, Subsection 9.1.3
(Q.A. Handbook), a calibration should be performed.
7.1.6. RECORD KEEPING
Record keeping is a critical part of all quality assurance programs. Standard forms similar
to those that appear in this manual should be developed for individual programs. Three
things to consider in the development of record forms are:
Does the form serve a necessary function?
Is the documentation complete?
Will the forms be filed in such a manner that they can easily
be retrieved when needed?

7.2. LEVEL 1 CALIBRATIONS VERSUS LEVEL 2 CHECKS
Essential to quality assurance are scheduled checks for verifying the operational status of
the monitoring system. The operator should visit the site at least once each week. It is
recommended Level 1 zero and span check conducted on the analyzer every two weeks.
Level 2 zero and span checks should be conducted at a frequency desired by the user.
Definitions of these terms are given in Table 7-4.
In addition, an independent precision check between 0.08 and 0.10 ppm must be carried
out at least once every two weeks. Table 7-3 summarizes the quality assurance activities
for routine operations. A discussion of each activity appears in the following sections.
To provide for documentation and accountability of activities, a checklist should be
compiled and then filled out by the field operator as each activity is completed.

192
Table 7-4. Definition of Level 1 and Level 2 Zero and Span Checks
(from Section 2.0.9 of Q.A. Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems)
LEVEL 1 ZERO AND SPAN CALIBRATION
A Level 1 zero and span calibration is a
simplified, two-point analyzer calibration used
when analyzer linearity does not need to be
checked or verified. (Sometimes when no
adjustments are made to the analyzer, the Level
1 calibration may be called a zero/span check, in
which case it must not be confused with a Level 2
zero/span check.) Since most analyzers have a
reliably linear or near-linear output response with
concentration, they can be adequately calibrated
with only two concentration standards (two-point
concentration). Furthermore, one of the
standards may be zero concentration, which is
relatively easily obtained and need not be
certified. Hence, only one certified concentration
standard is needed for the two-point (Level 1)
zero and span calibration. Although lacking the
advantages of the multipoint calibration, the two-
point zero and span calibration--because of its
simplicity--can be (and should be) carried out
much more frequently. Also, two-point
calibrations are easily automated. Frequency
checks or updating of the calibration relationship
with a two-point zero and span calibration
improves the quality of the monitoring data by
helping to keep the calibration relationship more
closely matched to any changes (drifts) in the
analyzer response.
LEVEL 2 ZERO AND SPAN CHECK
A Level 2 zero and span check is an "unofficial" check
of an analyzer's response. It may include dynamic
checks made with uncertified test concentrations,
artificial stimulation of the analyzer's detector,
electronic or other types of checks of a portion of the
analyzer, etc.
Level 2 zero and span checks are not to be used as a
basis for analyzer zero or span adjustments,
calibration updates, or adjustment of ambient data.
They are intended as quick, convenient checks to be
used between zero and span calibrations to check for
possible analyzer malfunction or calibration drift.
Whenever a Level 2 zero or span check indicates a
possible calibration problem, a Level 1 zero and span
(or multipoint) calibration should be carried out
before any corrective action is taken.
If a Level 2 zero and span check is to be used in the
quality control program, a "reference response" for
the check should be obtained immediately following a
zero and span (or multipoint) calibration while the
analyzer's calibration is accurately known.
Subsequent Level 2 check responses should then be
compared to the most recent reference response to
determine if a change in response has occurred. For
automatic Level 2 zero and span checks, the first
scheduled check following the calibration should be
used for the reference response. It should be kept in
mind that any Level 2 check that involves only part of
the analyzer's system cannot provide information
about the portions of the system not checked and
therefore cannot be used as a verification of the
overall analyzer calibration.

Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual EPA Protocol Calibration
193
7.3. ZERO AND SPAN CHECKS
A system of Level 1 and Level 2 zero span checks (see Table 8-4) is recommended. These
checks must be conducted in accordance with the specific guidance given in Subsection
9.1 of Section 2.0.9 (Q.A. Handbook). It is recommended Level 1 zero and span checks
conducted every two weeks. Level 2 checks should be conducted in between the Level 1
checks at a frequency desired by the user. Span concentrations for both levels should be
between 70 and 90% of the measurement range.
Zero and span data are to be used to:
Provide data to allow analyzer adjustment for zero and span drift;
Provide a decision point on when to calibrate the analyzer;
Provide a decision point on invalidation of monitoring data.
Items 1 and 2 are described in detail in Subsection 9.1.3 of Section 2.0.9 (Q.A.
Handbook). Item 3 is described in Subsection 9.1.4 of the same section.
Refer to the Troubleshooting Section 10 of this manual if the instrument is not within the
allowed variations.
7.3.1. ZERO/SPAN CHECK PROCEDURES
The Zero and Span calibration can be checked a variety of different ways. They include:
Manual Zero/Span Check - Zero and Span can be checked from the front panel keyboard.
Follow the procedures described in Section 6.3 and6-6 of this manual using calibrated
SO2 span gas (see Table 6-1) only.
Automatic Zero/Span Checks - After the appropriate setup, Z/S checks can be performed
automatically every night. Follow the procedure described in Section 6.9 of this manual
using calibrated SO2 span gas (see Table 6-1).
Zero/Span checks via remote contact closure = Zero/Span checks can be initiated via
remote contact closures on the rear panel. Follow the procedures described Section 6.7.1
of this manual using calibrated SO2 span gas (see Table 6-1).
Zero/Span via RS-232 port - Z/S checks can be controlled via the RS-232 port.
7.4. PRECISIONS CALIBRATION PROCEDURES AND
CHECKS
Calibration must be performed with a calibrator that meets all conditions specified in
Subsection 2.9.2 (Q.A. Handbook). The user should be sure that all flow meters are
calibrated under the conditions of use against a reliable standard. All volumetric flow
rates should be corrected to 25oC (77oF) and 760mm (29.92in) Hg. Make sure the
calibration system can supply the range of the concentration at a sufficient flow over the
whole range of concentration that will be encountered during calibration.
All operational adjustments to the T101 should be completed prior to the calibration. The
following software features must be set into the desired state before calibration.
07266B DCN6485
EPA Protocol Calibration Teledyne API – T101 Operation Manual
194
Single range selection. See Section 4.7.4 of this manual. If the instrument
will be used more than one range, it should be calibrated separately on
each applicable range.
Automatic temperature/pressure compensation.
Alternate units, make sure ppb units are selected for EPA monitoring. See
Section 4.7.7.
The analyzer should be calibrated on the same range for monitoring. If the AUTO range
mode is selected, the highest of the ranges will result in the most accurate calibration, and
should be used.
7.4.1. PRECISION CALIBRATION
To perform a precision calibration, the instrument set up:
Input sources of zero air and calibrated SO2 span gas (see Table 6-1).
Follow the procedures described in Section 6.2 for analyzers with no valve
options or with an IZS valve option (Do not use the method defined in
Section 6.7).
Follow the procedures described in Section 6.5 for analyzers with Z/S
options installed.
7.4.2. PRECISION CHECK
A periodic check is used to assess the data for precision. A one-point precision check
must be carried out at least once every 2 weeks on each analyzer at an SO2 concentration
between 0.08 and 0.10 ppm. The analyzer must be operated in its normal sampling mode,
and the precision test gas must pass through all filters, scrubbers, conditioners, and other
components used during normal ambient sampling. The standards from which precision
check test concentrations are obtained must be traceable to NIST-SRM (see Table 7-1).
Those standards used for calibration or auditing may be used.
To perform a precision check, the instrument set up; sources of zero air and SO2 span gas
and procedures should conform to those described in Section 6.3 for analyzers with no
valve options or with an IZS valve option installed and Section 6.6 for analyzers with Z/S
options installed with the following exception:
Connect the analyzer to a precision gas that has an SO2 concentration
between 0.08 and 0.10 ppm. If a precision check is made in conjunction
with a zero/span check, it must be made prior to any zero or span
adjustments.
Record this value. Information from the check procedure is used to assess the precision of
the monitoring data; see 40 CFR 58 for procedures for calculating and reporting
precision.

7.5. DYNAMIC MULTIPOINT SPAN CALIBRATION
Dynamic calibration involves introducing gas samples of known concentrations to an
instrument in order to record the instrument’s performance at a predetermined sensitivity
and to derive a calibration relationship. A minimum of three reference points and one zero
point uniformly spaced covering 0 to 90 percent of the operating range are recommended
to define this relationship.
The analyzer's recorded response is compared with the known concentration to derive the
calibration relationship.
To perform a precision check, the instrument set up, sources of zero air and sample gas
should conform to those described in Section 6.2.
Follow the procedures described in section 6.2 for calibrating the zero points.

8. 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.

8.2. PREDICTIVE DIAGNOSTICS
The analyzer’s test functions can be used to predict failures by looking at trends in their
values. The current value of these functions can be viewed via the front panel, recorded
via the DAS system (see Section 4.8) or even downloaded via the internet from a
remote location using Teledyne API’s APICOM control software can be used to
download and review these data (see Section 5.1.2.9).

8.3. 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.

Model T101 Instruction Manual Instrument Maintenance
203
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 O-
ring 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
Instrument Maintenance Model T101 Instruction Manual
204
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

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.

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:
Measured SO2 concentration = 499.1 ppb
Measured H2S concentration = 490.3 ppb
07266B DCN6485
Model T101 Instruction Manual Instrument Maintenance
207
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.
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.

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.

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 o-
rings.
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).

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:
Note any warning messages and take corrective action as necessary.
07266B DCN6485
Troubleshooting & Service Model T101 Instruction Manual
212
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:

9.1.2. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Model T101 Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Service
221
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:
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.
07266B DCN6485
Troubleshooting & Service Model T101 Instruction Manual
222
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.
07266B DCN6485
Model T101 Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Service
223
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
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.
07266B DCN6485
Troubleshooting & Service Model T101 Instruction Manual
224
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 trouble-
shooting 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:
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
225
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 re-
apply 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
Troubleshooting & Service Model T101 Instruction Manual
226
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.
07266B DCN6485
Model T101 Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Service
227
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

+5V 2 Red
AGND 3 Green Analog ground
+15V 4 Blue

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).

9.5.5. 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:

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.

9.5.9.3. 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) STATUS
1 System Ok
2 Conc Valid

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.
07266B DCN6485
Model T101 Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Service
231
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.
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.

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,
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.

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
Troubleshooting & Service Model T101 Instruction Manual
234
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
07266B DCN6485
Model T101 Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Service
235
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.

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):
HVPS coarse adjustment switch (Range 0-9, then A-F)

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.

9.7. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
The following list contains some of the most commonly asked questions relating to the
T101.
QUESTION ANSWER
Why is the ZERO or SPAN
button not displayed during
calibration?
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.
Why does the ENTR button
sometimes disappear on
the Front Panel Display?
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?
Press the CONC button found under the CAL or CALS menus of the main
SAMPLE menu to enter the expected SO2 span concentration.
Can I automate the
calibration of my analyzer?
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.

Model T101 Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Service
241
QUESTION ANSWER
How often do I need to
change the particulate
filter?
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.

10. 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
Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual
244
The chemical process is:
2222 SO2OH2O3SH2 
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*).
*
22142 SOhvSO Ia
nm 
(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.
07266B DCN6485
Model T101 Instruction Manual Principles Of Operation
245
Figure 10-1. UV Absorption
The equation for defining the average intensity of the UV light (Ia) is:
20 SOaxexp1IIa
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.
nm33022 hvSO*SO 
(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
Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual
246
*SOkF 2
Where:
F = the amount of fluorescent light given off.
k = The rate at which the SO2* decays into SO2.
SO2* = Amount of excited state SO2 in the sample chamber.
Therefore:
nm3302
kF
2hvSO*SO 
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.
07266B DCN6485
Model T101 Instruction Manual Principles Of Operation
247
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 10-
2). 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.

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

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.

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).

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.

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.

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
Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual
252
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.

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.

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

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 o-
rings 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
Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual
256
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.

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.

Model T101 Instruction Manual Principles Of Operation
257
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.

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
Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual
258
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.

Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual
260
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 “I-
squared-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.

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.

In order to reduce temperature effects, the sample chamber is maintained at a constant

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.

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
Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual
264
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

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

be adjusted through a potentiometer. These adjustments should only be performed when
encountering problems with the software calibration that cannot be rectified otherwise.

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.

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.

As a Safety measure, special circuitry on the Relay Board watches the status of LED D1.
Should this LED ever stay ON or OFF for 30 seconds, indicating that the CPU or I2C
bus has stopped functioning, the Watchdog Circuit will automatically shut of all valves
as well as turn off the UV Source(s) and all heaters. The Sample Pump will still be
running.
10.4.10. 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
Principles Of Operation Model T101 Instruction Manual
270
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 negative-
coefficient, 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.
07266B DCN6485
Model T101 Instruction Manual Principles Of Operation
271
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 8-
pin 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.

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.

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.

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 H2S =XXX.X

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.

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.

277
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.

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

workbench, using a plastic handled screwdriver or even the constant jostling of
Styrofoam TM pellets during shipment can also build hefty static charges

11.2. 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.

Potentially damaging electro-static discharges can occur:
07266B DCN6485
Model T101 Instruction Manual A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge
279
Any time a charged surface (including the human body) discharges to a
device. 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: Electro-
static 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.

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).
Wrist Strap
P rotective M at
Ground Point
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 meg-
ohm) that protects you should you accidentally short yourself to the instrument’s power
supply.
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
281
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.
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.

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 anti-
ESD 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.
07266B DCN6485
Model T101 Instruction Manual A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge
283
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
A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge Model T101 Instruction Manual
284
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 anti-
ESD 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.
