Page 17 Chapter 1 Introduction The Thermo Scientific™ TVA2020 Toxic Vapor Analyzer, is an advanced- design, portable, organic/inorganic vapor monitor for the gas survey industry. The analyzer uses either a flame ionization detector (FID), or both an FID and a photoionization detector (PID).
Page 18: Chapter 1 Introduction
As a general rule of thumb, greater than 16% oxygen is required to support the flame. If underground gases or samples in gas bags are to be measured by an FID, it is advised that a dilutor be used to combat the problem. TVA2020 Instruction Manual Thermo Fisher Scientific...

(its ionization potential). If the lamp energy is greater than the compound’s ionization potential, the PID will detect it. The lamp in the TVA2020 is 10.6 eV. Because of its smaller dynamic range (0-2000 ppm), the PID is not the detector of choice for measuring high concentrations of vapors.

Page 42: Table 3-1. Main Menu Selection And Functions
Display Menus Main Menu Structure Whenever you turn on the TVA2020, a power-up self test is performed and warning screens are displayed if any errors are found. Please refer to “Warning Messages” on page 6-6. If errors are detected, use the EXIT key to clear error message, then MAIN MENU is displayed.
Page 43: Figure 3-1. Tva2020 Menu Structure
Once you are familiar with the various menus and know where to enter specific information, you may want to use a short cut method of tracking the menu structure. The following figure shows the complete menu structure for the TVA2020 Analyzer. SETUP INFO MEMORY 1.
Page 44: Run Mode
(See “Bluetooth Communications” in the Options section for more information.) The TVA2020 performs accurately only after it has been properly set up (configured). The RUN mode displays (as governed by the LOG Selection) are:...
Page 45: Accessing The Run Menu
Menu Run: Log None Whenever the TVA2020 is in the RUN mode with Log None as the logging selection, the instrument operates as a survey tool only. The readings on the probe display and instrument display show the live reading for the samples at that time.
Page 46: Run: Log Voc
EXIT key is pressed, or the log memory is full. Run: Log VOC Whenever the TVA2020 is in the RUN mode with Log VOC as the logging selection, the instrument operates as a manual survey tool that logs its readings into memory whenever you initiate logging.

Page 48: Run: Log F.e
The operation of the Log F.E. mode is menu driven from the hand-held probe display and requires the use of the optional TVA2020 Enhanced Probe. Whenever the TVA2020 is in the RUN mode with Log F.E. as the logging selection, the instrument logs its readings based on a pre- configured route file.
Page 49: Setup Menu
4. At the end of the monitoring route, copy the logged readings to the personal computer. Setup Menu The Setup Menu (configuration) of the TVA2020 is the most important step in obtaining accurate gas measurements. The Setup Menu contains configuration procedures and menu structure for performing calibrations, entering ID numbers, setting alarm levels, selecting log modes, entering response multipliers and setting time/date.

Page 77: Chapter 4 Calibration
4-18 ● Calibration The use of multipoint calibration and multiple response factors/curves with the TVA2020 must be fully understood before employing these features. Scenarios To help explain these TVA2020 capabilities, three scenarios follow: Scenario 1 To maximize standard accuracy, it is highly recommended that you calibrate with methane for the flame ionization detector and isobutylene for the photoionization detector.

If “Curve” is chosen, the TVA2020 will use a two constant equation. For more information, refer to the section of the manual on “Response Factors.”...
Page 85: Cal Save Mode
Cal Save Mode This selection allows you to choose whether or not the TVA2020 will automatically save an accepted calibration. Choosing this selection from the CAL CONFIG MENU produces the following display:...
Page 86: Defining The Response Factor
1000-2000 10-35 counts/ppm Isobutylene Example: A TVA2020 FID is calibrated with zero air and a 100 ppm Methane in air span gas. The counts observed for the zero are 2895 and the counts observed for the span are 27395. The span sensitivity is thus 245 counts/ppm [(27395-2750)/100 ppm].
Page 87: Response Factor Multiplier
Methane, then the FID response factor would be 2.00 (100/50). When using a response factor multiplier to correct a TVA2020 reading, the analyzer multiplies the reading by the response factor and displays the corrected reading. As in the example give above, if a 50 ppm reading is obtained by the TVA2020, the analyzer would automatically multiply 50 times 2.00 to get the actual concentration of 100 ppm.

Page 187: Appendix C Response Factors
Appendix C Response Factors The TVA2020 is a portable vapor analyzer for gas survey monitoring. Each Response unit is factory calibrated with Methane (in the case of the FID) and Factors Isobutylene (in the case of the PID). However, both detectors respond to many different compounds with differing levels of sensitivity.
Page 188 50 by 0.50 to get the actual concentration (100 ppm). Like any FID or PID, the TVA2020 will respond to many different compounds, producing a survey reading of all detectable compounds present. If a single compound is present, a response factor can be applied to correct for the response of that compound.
Page 189 Response Factors expressed as “100 ppm of Methane” if the calibration gas used was Methane. Please note that the TVA2020 detectors can be calibrated with gases other than the factory standards as long as the detector has adequate response to that compound.
