INTRODUCTION The Models T360 and T360M differ only in specifications; unless clearly differentiated, both models in this manual are referred to as the T360 for simplification. The T360/T360M measures carbon dioxide CO by comparing infrared energy absorbed by a sample to that absorbed by a reference according to the Beer-Lambert law.
Cannot be used with rack mount slides. CAUTION – GENERAL SAFETY HAZARD THE T360 OR T360M ANALYZER WEIGHS ABOUT 18 KG (40 POUNDS). TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY WE RECOMMEND THAT TWO PERSONS LIFT AND CARRY THE ANALYZER. DISCONNECT ALL CABLES AND TUBING FROM THE ANALYZER BEFORE MOVING IT.

Do not plug in the power cord if the voltage or frequency is incorrect. The T360 analyzer can be configured for both 100-130 V and 210-240 V at either 50 or 60 Hz. To avoid damage to your analyzer, make sure that the AC power voltage matches the voltage indicated on the rear panel serial number label and that the frequency is between 47 and 63 Hz.
See Section 4.7 for details on setting up the DAS. 3.5.3. Connecting Analog Outputs The T360 is equipped with several analog output channels accessible through a connector on the back panel of the instrument. The standard configuration for these outputs is mVDC. An optional current loop output is available for each.
To access these signals attach a strip chart recorder and/or data-logger to the appropriate analog output connections on the rear panel of the analyzer.

The minimum gas pressure of the source of purge air should be 7.5 psig. If the source of the purge air is shared by a Teledyne Instruments T700 (e.g., Figure 3-13) the minimum gas pressure should be 25 psig and should not exceed 35 psig.
Getting Started Teledyne API Model T360/T360M Operation Manual 3.6.2. Connections with Ambient Zero/Ambient Span Valve Figure 3-14 and Figure 3-15 show the pneumatic connections for the ambient zero and ambient span valve option (Option 50A). Figure 3-14: Pneumatic Connections with Ambient Zero/Ambient Span Valves (OPT 50A)
N and span gas are being supplied by Gas Dilution Calibrator like the Teledyne Instruments Model 700 or 702. Internal zero/span and sample/cal valves control the flow of gas through the instrument, but because the calibrator limits the flow of span gas no shutoff valve is required.
Getting Started Teledyne API Model T360/T360M Operation Manual The state of the zero/span valves can also be controlled: Manually from the analyzer’s front panel by using the Signal I/O controls located under the Diag Menu (Section 4.13), By activating the instrument’s AutoCal feature (Section 5.6), ...
An internal vent line, isolated by a shutoff valve ensures that the gas pressure of the span gas is reduced to ambient atmospheric pressure. Normally zero air would be supplied from zero air modules such as a Teledyne Instruments Model 701.

We recommend using high- concentration, certified, calibration gas supplied to the analyzer through a Gas Dilution Calibrator such as a Teledyne Instruments Model T700. This type of calibrator precisely mixes Span Gas and Zero Air to produce any concentration level between 0 ppm and the concentration of the calibrated gas.
7. Make sure the zero air supply to the analyzer’s purge line inlet is supplying gas at a stable pressure above 7.5 psig. 8. Adjust the T360’s pressure regulator until the attached gauge reads 7.5 psig. 9. Turn off the instrument.

Perform regular leak checks (refer to the maintenance schedule, Table 6-1) on the analyzer as described in the procedures for correctly performing leak checks in Section 6.3.3.
To maintain a constant flow rate of the sample gas through the instrument, the Model T360 uses special flow control assemblies located in the purge gas line at the entrance to the GFC wheel housing and in the exhaust gas line just before the pump (Figure 7-8).

Principles of Operation Teledyne API Model T360/T360M Operation Manual 7.4.4. Synchronous Demodulator (Sync/Demod) Assembly 7.4.4.1. OVERVIEW While the photo-detector converts fluctuations of the IR beam into electronic signals, the Sync / Demod Board amplifies these signals and converts them into usable information.
Teledyne API Model T360/T360M Operation Manual Principles of Operation 7.4.4.2. SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION AND DEMODULATION The signal emitted by the IR photo-detector goes through several stages of amplification before it can be accurately demodulated. The first is a pre- amplification stage that raises the signal to levels readable by the rest of the synch/demod board circuitry.

Teledyne API Model T360/T360M Operation Manual Principles of Operation 7.5. FRONT PANEL TOUCHSCREEN/DISPLAY INTERFACE Users can input data and receive information directly through the front panel touchscreen display. The LCD display is controlled directly by the CPU board. The touchscreen is interfaced to the CPU by means of a touchscreen controller that connects to the CPU via the internal USB bus and emulates a computer mouse.
Unlike other analyzers that average the output signal over a fixed time period, the T360 averages over a set number of samples, where each sample is 0.2 seconds. This is technique is known as boxcar averaging. During operation, the software automatically switches between two different length filters based on the conditions at hand.
Once the IR photo-detector is signal is demodulated into CO2 MEAS and CO2 REF by the sync/demod board and converted to digital data by the motherboard the T360 analytical software calculates the ratio between CO2 MEAS and CO2 REF. This value is compared to a look-up table is used, with interpolation, to linearize the response of the instrument.
7.6.4. Temperature and Pressure Compensation Changes in pressure can have a noticeable, effect on the CO concentration calculation. To account for this, the Model T360 software includes a feature which allows the instrument to compensation of the CO calculations based on changes in ambient pressure.
DC power wiring is color-coded and these colors match the color of the corresponding test points on the relay board. 4. SUSPECT A LEAK FIRST! Data from Teledyne API’s Technical Support department indicates that 50% of all problems are eventually traced to leaks in the pneumatic connections and gas lines of the analyzer itself, the source of zero air, span gases or sample gas delivery system.
