(N O), respectively. The primary difference between the models is their maximum operating range; 1000 ppm for the T320 and 200 ppm for the T320U. The T320 and T320U are designed to be used for monitoring background levels of N O in the atmosphere, byproducts of combustion products and contamination of bottled gases.

SPECIFICATIONS, APPROVALS AND WARRANTY This section provides the specifications for the T320 and the T320U analyzers, and references approvals and warranty. 2.1. SPECIFICATIONS Specifications differ between the T320 and the T320U analyzers for Ranges, Noise, Lower Detectable Limit and Drift.
There is no US EPA reference method for the measurement of nitrous oxide; therefore, neither the T320 nor the T320U are designated as reference or equivalent methods. Hence, the EPA Protocol Calibration section of the Model T300/T300M Operation Manual does not apply.
The analyzer should be started and allowed to warm up; a functional check followed by calibration should be performed. The process for starting and warming up the T320/T320U is identical to that described in the Initial Operation section of the T300/T300M Operators Manual (P/N 06864).
In this case, N O measurements made with the T320/T320U analyzer, it is recommended that you use a span gas with a N O concentration equal to 80% of the measurement range for your application.

Teledyne API T320/T320U Addendum to T300/T300M Manual 3.4.3. PNEUMATIC CONNECTIONS TO T320/T320U BASIC CONFIGURATION: The information found in the Pneumatic Connections section of the T300/T300M Operators Manual (P/N 06864) is applicable to the T320/T320U with the following changes: • Synthetic air, ultra-zero air or N should be used as the zero gas rather than a Zero Gas Generator like the TAPI Model 701.
3.4.4. PNEUMATIC CONNECTIONS TO T320/T320U WITH INTERNAL VALVE OPTIONS INSTALLED • The following figures show the pneumatic set up for T320/T320U analyzers with one of the three available internal valve options installed. For more information on these options see Section 5 of this addendum.
We recommend using high-concentration, certified, calibration gas supplied to the analyzer through a gas dilution calibrator such as a Teledyne API T700. This type of calibrator precisely mixes span gas and zero air to produce max concentration levels between 0 ppm and the concentration of the certified gas. This means that both the source of zero air and span gas must be connected to the calibrator whose output is then connected to the span inlet on the rear panel of the instrument.

OPTIONAL HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE Not all options are available for the T320 and T320U as are available for the T300 and T300M. 5.1. CALIBRATION VALVE OPTIONS FOR THE T320/T320U There three valve options available for the T320 and T320U analyzers Table 5-1.
Optional Hardware and Software Teledyne API T320/T320U Addendum to T300/T300M Manual 5.1.1. ZERO/SPAN WITH COMMON SHUTOFF VALVES (OPTION 50G) Option 50G is operationally and pneumatically similar to Option 50B (see T300/T300M manual), except that both the zero and span gases are applied to the analyzer under pressure. This option is designed to be used with bottled zero and span gases.
