Setup Menu Teledyne API – Model T300/T300M CO Analyzer An alternative method for measuring the output of the Current Loop converter is to connect a 250 ohm ±1% resistor across the current loop output in lieu of the current meter (see Figure 3-9 for pin assignments and diagram of the analog output connector).
Setup Menu 5.9.3.8. TURNING AN ANALOG OUTPUT OVER-RANGE FEATURE ON/OFF In its default configuration, a ± 5% over-range is available on each of the T300/T300M Analyzer’s analog outputs. This over-range can be disabled if your recording device is sensitive to excess voltage or current.
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 T300/T300M by defining a zero offset, a small voltage (e.g., 10% of span).

THEORY OF OPERATION The T300/T300M Gas Filter Correlation Carbon monoxide Analyzer is a microprocessor-controlled analyzer that determines the concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) in a sample gas drawn through the instrument. It requires that the sample and calibration gases be supplied at ambient atmospheric pressure in order to establish a stable gas flow through the sample chamber where the gases ability to absorb infrared radiation is measured.

13.2.1.2. THE MEASURE REFERENCE RATIO The T300/T300M determines the amount of CO in the sample chamber by computing the ratio between the peak of the measurement pulse (CO MEAS) and the peak of the reference pulse (CO REF).
Figure 13-4: Affect of CO in the Sample on CO MEAS & CO REF Once the T300/T300M has computed this ratio, a look-up table is used, with interpolation, to linearize the response of the instrument. This linearized concentration value is combined with calibration SLOPE and OFFSET values to produce the CO concentration which is then normalized for changes in sample pressure.
Theory of Operation Teledyne API – Model T300/T300M CO Analyzer NTERFERENCE AND IGNAL TO OISE EJECTION If an interfering gas, such as H O vapor is introduced into the sample chamber, the spectrum of the IR beam is changed in a way that is identical for both the reference and the measurement cells, but without changing the ratio between the peak heights of CO MEAS and CO REF.

The two primary methods used to accomplish this are: • The 4.7μm band pass filter just before the IR sensor which allows the instrument to only react to IR absorption in the wavelength affected by CO.

Theory of Operation Teledyne API – Model T300/T300M CO Analyzer 13.4.8. FRONT PANEL TOUCHSCREEN/DISPLAY INTERFACE Users can input data and receive information directly through the front panel touchscreen display. The LCD display is controlled directly by the CPU board. The touchscreen is interfaced to the CPU by means of a touchscreen controller that connects to the CPU via the internal USB bus and emulates a computer mouse.
Unlike other analyzers that average the output signal over a fixed time period, the T300/T300M averages over a set number of samples, where each sample is 0.2 seconds. This technique is known as boxcar averaging.
13.5.4. TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE COMPENSATION Changes in pressure can have a noticeable, effect on the CO concentration calculation. To account for this, the T300/T300M software includes a feature which allows the instrument to compensate for the CO calculations based on changes in ambient pressure.
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.
A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge Teledyne API – Model T300/T300M CO Analyzer 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.
Teledyne API – Model T300/T300M CO Analyzer A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge Potentially damaging electro-static discharges can occur: • 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 Primer on Electro-Static Discharge Teledyne API – Model T300/T300M CO Analyzer static fields built up on other things, like you and your clothing, from discharging through the instrument and damaging it. 14.4. 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.
Teledyne API – Model T300/T300M CO Analyzer A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge • 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.
14.4.2.3. 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.
14.4.2.4. OPENING SHIPMENTS FROM TELEDYNE API’S CUSTOMER SERVICE 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.
