INTRODUCTION ® The Jerome J505 Mercury Vapor Analyzer is an ambient air analyzer with a range of 0.05 to 500 micrograms of mercury vapor per cubic meter (µg/m Hg). The instrument uses atomic fluorescence spectroscopy for mercury analysis, which allows the detection cell to be simpler, smaller, more durable and lighter weight than competing spectroscopy instruments.

• Integrated data logging stores all test results (except in Search mode). • Stored test results are easily viewed on the display screen with their test site. • Average value and standard deviation can be computed on a user-selectable range of results.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The J505 uses atomic fluorescence spectroscopy for mercury analysis. As shown below, a mercury light source is energized to emit light at a 254nm wavelength into a sample cell. Mercury atoms absorb light with a 254nm wavelength. When a mercury atom in the sample cell absorbs the light, it is re-emitted at the same wavelength.
INSTRUMENT OPERATION 6.1. Keypad The keypad contains the power key just to the right of the Softkeys ▲ key. To turn on the instrument, hold down the power key until the display comes on. Turn off the instrument if it is not going to be used for an hour or more.
6.2. Power On and Warmup Press the power key to power on the instrument. The software revision is displayed on the startup screen. A calibration reminder may be displayed right after the startup screen; if so, call AZI Customer Service at 800-528-7411 or 602-470-1414 or e-mail support@azic.com to schedule instrument calibration.
6.4. Main Screen EXTERNAL POWER DEVICE DATE TIME BATTERY TEST MODE UNIT SOFTKEYS ON BOTTOM ROW TOP STATUS LINE: • Date: Displayed in day-month-2 digit year (dd-mmm-yy) format. • USB Device: A flash drive or keyboard icon will be displayed when a corresponding device is detected by the instrument.

PROGRESS BAR: (shown on Warmup screen) The progress bar is displayed for instrument warmup progress, purging progress and test progress. SITE: The active test site is displayed. The active site is stored with the test result. The active site is changed through MAIN MENUSITES.
6.5. Test Modes The J505 has three test modes: Search, Quick and Standard. The desired test mode is selected using the MODE softkey on the Main Screen. As shown below, Standard provides the greatest resolution by utilizing a slightly longer sample time. Refer to §4 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS on page 7 for complete details on the differences in sample time and resolution between the test modes.
Search mode provides a stream of continuous relative readings that are displayed on the instrument but not saved in data storage. After Standard or Quick mode testing has determined that an area is contaminated, Search mode can be used to quickly locate the source of contamination. In Search mode, an initial zero reference reading is obtained, and then continuous readings are updated each second.
6.7. Sites List Sites are created and edited through this screen and can be up to twenty (20) characters long. The J505 can store up to 100 sites. The triangle indicates the active test site. The active site is saved with each corresponding test result.
6.8. Setup Screen Instrument configuration is changed through this screen. Use the arrow keys (▲, ▼, and ◄, ►) to move to the field to be edited. The currently selected field is indicated by the yellow highlight box. Then press ENTer to edit the field.
6.9. Test Results List Test results are viewed, analyzed or saved to a flash drive on this screen. The UNIT and SITE of the selected test result are displayed at the bottom of the screen, along with the test number and the total number of tests. ALARM readings are displayed in red. The following options are available: •...
6.10. USB Test Result Output Test results and analyses written to a flash drive are saved in a file named 505#####.TXT, where 505##### is the instrument serial number. The file is readily opened with spreadsheet software for further analysis if desired. If the file already exists on the flash drive, the instrument will prompt to APPEND, OVERWRITE or CANCEL.
6.11. Service Menu The Service Menu is used to view detailed battery information, access distributor contact information or view instrument usage statistics, as explained in the following sections. 6.12. Battery Info Screen & Battery Management The Battery Info screen displays detailed battery status.
6.13. Distributor Information Screen The Distributor screen displays a name and contact phone number for Arizona Instrument or one of our authorized distributors or instrument rental companies. The information on this screen is edited in the same fashion as other text fields, using either the instrument keypad or a USB keyboard.
There are no user serviceable components or assemblies inside the J505 and the instrument should not be opened except by factory-authorized technicians at Arizona Instrument. Unauthorized opening of the instrument will void the instrument warranty. AZI Customer Service 800-528-7411 or 602-470-1414...
7.3. Flow System The flow system is the crucial link between the sample cell and the test environment. For the instrument to perform correctly, the flow system must be properly maintained. The only user maintainable component of this system is the intake fritware filter. Replace the fritware filter once each week or as needed.
We strongly recommend you take advantage of our calibration and maintenance service at Arizona Instrument. Service includes filter replacement, component testing, and instrument calibration to NIST traceable standards. A certificate of calibration is issued from AZI when your instrument is factory calibrated.
