Auto range (AUTO) mode gives the analyzer to ability to output data via a low range and high range. When this mode is selected (refer to Section 5.4.3.3) the T100 will automatically switch between the two ranges dynamically as the concentration value fluctuates.
Teledyne API - T100 UV Fluorescence SO Analyzer SETUP Menu 5.4.3.1. 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 0.1 ppb and 20,000 ppb.
SETUP Menu Teledyne API - T100 UV Fluorescence SO Analyzer 5.4.3.2. DUAL RANGE MODE (DUAL) Selecting Dual Range mode allows the A1 and A2 outputs to be configured with different reporting ranges. The analyzer software calls these two ranges low and high.
Teledyne API - T100 UV Fluorescence SO Analyzer SETUP Menu 5.4.3.3. 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 SO concentration exceeds 98% of the low range span.
Teledyne API - T100 UV Fluorescence SO Analyzer 5.4.4. RANGE UNITS The T100 can display concentrations in parts per billion (10 mols per mol, PPB), parts per million (10 mols per mol, PPM), micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m , UGM) or milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m , MGM).

8.4. COM PORT PASSWORD SECURITY In order to provide security for remote access of the T100, 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 (refer to Section 5.5). Once the SECURITY MODE is enabled, the following items apply.
CALIBRATION PROCEDURES This section describes the calibration procedures for the T100. All of the methods described in this section can be initiated and controlled through the COM ports. MPORTANT MPACT ON EADINGS OR If you are using the T100 for US-EPA controlled monitoring, refer to Section 0 for information on the EPA calibration protocol.
If calibrator and zero air source are not available, then use a bottle of SO balanced air. 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 strongly recommend using certified SO span gases for accurate calibration.
A strip chart recorder, data acquisition system or digital data acquisition system should be used to record data from the T100’s serial or analog outputs. If analog readings are used, the response of the recording system should be checked against a NIST traceable voltage source or meter.
9.2. MANUAL CALIBRATION The following section describes the basic method for manually calibrating the T100 SO analyzer. STEP ONE: Connect the sources of zero air and span gas as shown below. MODEL 701 Zero Air Generator Source of SAMPLE Gas...

MPORTANT MPACT ON EADINGS OR If the ZERO or SPAN buttons are not displayed during zero or span calibration, the measured concentration value is too different from the expected value and the analyzer does not allow zeroing or spanning the instrument.
9.4. MANUAL CALIBRATION WITH ZERO/SPAN VALVES Zero and Span calibrations using the Zero/Span Valve option are similar to that described in Section 9.2, except that: • Zero air and span gas are supplied to the analyzer through the zero gas and span gas inlets rather than through the sample inlet.

9.5. MANUAL CALIBRATION WITH IZS OPTION Under the best conditions, the accuracy off the SO 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 SO contained in the tube is depleted.
To perform a manual calibration check of an analyzer with a zero/span valve or IZS Option installed, use the following method: STEP ONE: Connect the sources of Zero Air and Span Gas as shown below. Source of MODEL 700 SAMPLE Gas Gas Dilution Calibrator VENT if input is pressurized (with O...
9.7. MANUAL CALIBRATION IN DUAL OR AUTO REPORTING RANGE MODES When the analyzer is in either Dual or Auto Range modes the user must run a separate calibration procedure for each range. After pressing the CAL, CALZ or CALS buttons the user is prompted for the range that is to be calibrated as seen in the CALZ example below: SAMPLE...
If contact closures are used in conjunction with the analyzer’s AutoCal (refer to Section 9.8) feature and the AutoCal attribute CALIBRATE is enabled, the T100 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.
The CALIBRATE attribute must always be set to OFF for analyzers used in Note US EPA controlled applications that have IZS option installed. Calibration of instruments used in US EPA related applications should only be performed using external sources of zero air and span gas with an accuracy traceable to EPA or NIST standards and supplied through the analyzer’s sample port (refer to Section 9.2).

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.

12.1.1. ULTRAVIOLET FLUORESCENCE MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE The physical principle upon which the T100’s measurement method is based is the fluorescence that occurs when sulfur dioxide (SO ) is changed to excited state (SO *) by ultraviolet light with wavelengths in the range of 190 nm-230 nm.
The first stage (Equation 12-1) occurs when SO molecules are struck by photons of the appropriate ultraviolet wavelength. In the case of the T100, a band pass filter between the source of the UV light and the affected gas limits the wavelength of the light to approximately 214 nm.
Page 267
Teledyne API - T100 UV Fluorescence SO Analyzer Principles of Operation The second stage of this reaction occurs after the SO reaches its excited state (SO Because the system will seek the lowest available stable energy state, the SO * molecule quickly returns to its ground state (Equation 10-3) by giving off the excess energy in the form of a photon (hν).
12.1.2. THE UV LIGHT PATH The optical design of the T100’s sample chamber optimizes the fluorescent reaction between SO and UV Light (refer to Figure 12-2) and assure that only UV light resulting from the decay of SO * into SO is sensed by the instruments fluorescence detector.
12.1.3. UV SOURCE LAMP The source of excitation UV light for the T100 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-...
PMT and can change over time as these components age. To account for these offsets the T100 includes a shutter, located between the UV Lamp and the source filter that periodically cuts off the UV light from the sample chamber.
DRK PMT. 12.1.7. OPTICAL FILTERS The T100 analyzer uses two stages of optical filters to enhance performance. The first stage conditions the UV light used to excite the SO by removing frequencies of light that are not needed to produce SO *.
Analyzer 12.1.7.2. PMT OPTICAL FILTER The PMT used in the T100 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 SO is focused away from the PMT, some of it scatters in the direction of the PMT as it interacts with the sample gas.
Teledyne API - T100 UV Fluorescence SO Analyzer Principles of Operation 12.1.8. OPTICAL LENSES Two optical lenses are used to focus and optimize the path of light through the sample chamber.

Figure 12-12: T100 Hydrocarbon Scrubber (Kicker) In the T100 some of the cleaned air from the inner tube is returned to be used as the purge gas in the outer tube (refer to Figure 12-12).

12.4.4. PNEUMATIC SENSORS The T100 uses two pneumatic sensors to verify gas streams. These sensors are located on a printed circuit assembly, called the pneumatic pressure/flow sensor board. The flow simultaneously enters the sample pressure sensor and the flow sensor from the outlet of the reaction cell.
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.
