Page 4: About This Manual
This manual describes the function and operation of the Tiger® Select instrument. It is a supplement to the standard Tiger user manual (part number: 861265) Please read and understand both manuals completely before operating the Tiger Select instrument. Page 4 of 20... -
Page 5: Statements
Caution It is essential that the Tiger Select is always used with a supplied PTFE 0.5 micron filter fitted to the front of the instrument. Without a filter, particles of debris and dust can be drawn into the detector inhibiting the function of the instrument. -
Page 6: Introduction
The Tiger Select has been developed to give an accurate and repeatable measurement of benzene gas specifically to sub ppm levels. The Tiger Select has two modes of operation; TAC mode which identifies the presence of Total Aromatic Compounds (which include benzene), and Select mode which then identifies the specific benzene content. -

PID lamp being used. The higher the photon energy the more gases can be detected 10.6 eV lamp window Additional 10.0 eV lamp window mounted in the electrode stack Important Always recalibrate the Tiger Select after servicing, particularly if the lamp or electrode stack is cleaned or replaced.

Page 8: Filter Tubes
TIGER MANUAL Ion Science Ltd Filter tubes Benzene Pre filter tubes absorb many VOC gases however the benzene content passes through. The gas sample must be drawn through the tube to condition it before the absorption level becomes stable. Please see the leaflet supplied with the pack of tubes for maximum absorption levels. - Page 9 TIGER MANUAL Ion Science Ltd Fitting the tube holder Always ensure the filter tube is visible while viewing the display screen. If necessary the filter tube assembly should be removed and refitted. 1. Unscrew and remove the Filter Cap. 2. Remove the filter clamp and tube holder together.

Page 10: Start Up
TIGER MANUAL Ion Science Ltd Start up The Tiger Select will start up in either Standard running mode or TAC mode depending on the mode selected when it was switched off. Standard running mode In Standard running mode the instrument has all the functionality of a standard Tiger instrument but with a 10.0 eV lamp selected. -
Page 11: H&S Function (Stel Calculation)
TIGER MANUAL Ion Science Ltd Start up A 15 minute STEL can then be carried out using the same tube, The STEL for benzene will be automatically selected from the gas table. If a benzene STEL is not specified within the selected gas table a figure can be entered on to the gas table and then sent to the instrument. -
Page 12: Calibration
The frequency at which the Tiger Select is calibrated can vary considerably. Changes in environmental conditions, frequency of use or the gas being detected can all affect the accuracy of the instrument. Ion Science suggests customers carry out weekly calibrations but then extend this time as confidence is gained and any environmental effects identified. -
Page 13: Calibration Routine
Tiger Select relies on a two point calibration to create its calibration factor. Both Zero and SPAN are set with a single stage. The Zero is set using initial slug of clean gas passing through a pre-filter tube, the span is set later. -
Page 14: Calibration
TIGER MANUAL Ion Science Ltd Calibration 7. Connect the calibration gas to the Probe by pushing the pipe on to the end of the tube holder. IMPORTANT: For best results the pipe between the calibration gas and the instrument should be as short as practically possible. - Page 15 The TAC gas used within TAC mode has a STEL set to 1 ppm, this level has been chosen based the low STEL levels often associated with gas aromatic chemicals including benzene. However, the Tiger Select’s TAC STEL is not supported by nationally recognised bodies who publish official levels 6.
- Page 16 If H&S mode does not appear as an option it can be selected on the configuration screen of TigerPC in the Tiger Select section. The STEL threshold is taken from the internal gas table. However some authorities provide no published STEL level for benzene, so the instrument will not alarm.
