In an instrument with multiple MFCs the CPU chooses which MFC to use depending on the target gas flow requested. When generating O or in GPT Pre-Set mode, the photometer pump is the primary creator of gas flow through the T700. Flow rates are controlled by critical flow orifice(s) located in the gas stream...

An optional third mass flow controller can be added on the calibration gas stream. When this option is installed, the T700 has both calibration gas MFCs on the same gas stream, installed in parallel (see Figure 3-28 and Figure 3-29). The calibrator turns on the MFC with the lowest flow rate that can accommodate the requested flow and can therefore supply the most accurate flow control.

4.2.2.4. Setting Source Gas and Diluent Flow Rates Using the GENERATE > MAN Menu In the following demonstration we will be using the values from the examples given with Equations 6-1 and 6-2 above and assume a T700 calibrator with at least one source gas mass flow controller capable of 3.0 LPM output.

Teledyne API – Model T700 Dynamic Dilution Calibrator Overview of Operating Modes and Basic Operation 4.10.1.3. Test Channel Voltage Range Configuration In its standard configuration, the analog outputs is set to output a 0 – 5 VDC signals. Several other output ranges are available (see Table 4-15). Each range is usable from - 5% to + 5% of the rated span.
Overview of Operating Modes and Basic Operation 4.10.1.4. Turning the Test Channel Over-Range Feature ON/OFF In its default configuration, a ± 5% over-range is available on each of the T700‟s TEST CHANNEL output. 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 T700 by defining a zero offset, a small voltage (e.g., 10% of span).

(zero air). Using several Mass Flow Controllers (MFCs) the T700 calibrator creates exact ratios of diluent and source gas by controlling the relative rates of flow of the various gases, under conditions where the temperature and pressure of the gases being mixed is known (and therefore the density of the gases).
MFCs in real time so the flow rate control can be constantly adjusted to maintain a stable output concentration. The T700 calibrator‟s level of control is so precise that bottles of mixed gases can be used as source gas. Once the exact concentrations of all of the gases in the bottle are programmed into the T700, it will create an exact output concentration of any of the gases in the bottle.
3 flow = required diluent gas flow flow Again, this is a dynamic process. An optional photometer can be added the T700 calibrator that allows the CPU to tracks the chemiluminescent reaction created when the NO and O interact to measure the decrease in NO concentration as NO is produced.
10.2.1.1. Diluent and Source Gas Flow Control Diluent and source gas flow in the T700 calibrator is a directly and dynamically controlled by using highly accurate Mass Flow Controller. These MFCs include internal sensors that determine the actual flow of gas though each and feedback control circuitry that uses this data to adjust the flow as required.
CAL GAS ASSEMBLIES OUTPUT 2 Volume VENT GAS OUTPUT MANIFOLD Figure 10-1: Location of Gas Flow Control Assemblies for T700’s with O Options Installed The flow orifice assemblies consist 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.
Teledyne API – Model T700 Dynamic Dilution Calibrator Principles of Operation 10.2.1.3. Critical Flow Orifices The most important component of the flow control assemblies is the critical flow orifice. Critical flow orifices are a remarkably simple way to regulate stable gas flow rates.
10.2.2. INTERNAL GAS PRESSURE SENSORS The T700 includes a single pressure regulator. Depending upon how many and which options are installed in the T700 calibrator, there are between two and four pressure sensors installed as well. In the basic unit a printed circuit, assembly located near the front of the calibrator near the MFCs includes sensors that measure the pressure of the diluent gas and the source gas currently selected to flow into the calibrator.

CPU and the calibrator‟s other major components. Data are generated by the various sub components of the T700 (e.g. flow data from the MFCs, O concentration from the optional photometer). Analog signals are converted into digital data by a unipolar, analog-to-digital converter, located on the motherboard.
The DOM is a 44-pin IDE flash chip with a storage capacity up to 256 MB. It is used to store the computer‟s operating system, the Teledyne API firmware, and most of the operational data. The LEDs on the DOM indicate power and reading/writing to or from the DOM.
Teledyne API – Model T700 Dynamic Dilution Calibrator Principles of Operation 10.3.3. RELAY PCA The relay PCA is one of the central switching and power distribution units of the calibrator. It contains power relays, valve drivers and status LEDs for all heated zones and valves, as well as thermocouple amplifiers, power distribution connectors and the two switching power supplies of the calibrator.
10.3.3.1. Valve Control The relay PCA also hosts two valve driver chips, each of which can drive up four valves. In the T700, the relay PCA controls only those valves associated with the O generator and photometer options. All valves related to source gas and diluent gas flow are controlled by a separate valve driver PCA (see Section 10.3.4).
Principles of Operation 10.3.4. VALVE DRIVER PCA The valves that operate the T700 calibrator‟s main source gas and diluent gas inputs are controlled by a PCA that is attached directly to the input valve manifold (see Figure 3-5 or Figure 3-6). Like the relay PCA, the valve driver PCA communicates with T700‟s CPU through the motherboard over the I C bus.
10.3.5.4. Analog Outputs The T700 calibrator comes equipped with one analog output. It can be set by the user to output a signal level representing any one of the test parameters (see Table 4-14) and will output an analog VDC signal that rises and falls in relationship with the value of the chosen parameter.
Teledyne API – Model T700 Dynamic Dilution Calibrator Principles of Operation 10.3.5.5. External Digital I/O The external digital I/O performs two functions. The STATUS outputs carry logic-level (5V) signals through an optically isolated 8-pin connector on the rear panel of the calibrator. These outputs convey on/off information about certain calibrator conditions such as SYSTEM OK.
WARNING The T700 calibrator is equipped with a universal power supply that allows it to accept any AC power configuration, within the limits specified in Table 2-2. Should the power circuit breaker trip correct the condition causing this situation before turning the calibrator back on.
Principles of Operation 10.4. FRONT PANEL TOUCHSCREEN/DISPLAY INTERFACE The most commonly used method for communicating with the T700 Dynamic Dilution Calibrator is via the instrument‟s front panel LCD touchscreen display from where users can input data and receive information directly.
Principles of Operation 10.5. SOFTWARE OPERATION The T700 calibrator‟s core module is a high performance, X86-based microcomputer running Windows CE. On top of the Windows CE shell, special software developed by Teledyne API interprets user commands from various interfaces, performs procedures and tasks and stores data in the CPU‟s memory devices.
