Operation Verification - Teledyne 300M Instruction Manual

Teledyne API Model 300M CO Analyzer Instruction Manual, 04033, Rev. A

1.7 Operation Verification

The Model 300M Analyzer is now ready for operation.
1. Read Sections 1.3 and all of Section 4 of the manual to understand the analyzer operation.
2. Turn on the power by pressing the on/off switch on the front panel (see Figure 2-1). The
display should turn on and green (sample) status LED should be energized. The green LED
should blink indicating the instrument has entered the HOLD-OFF mode. Sample mode can
be entered immediately by pressing the EXIT button on the front panel. The red "fault" light
will also be on until the flows, temperatures and voltages are within operating limits. Clear
the fault messages.
3. After a 30-minute warm-up, review the TEST function values in the front panel display by
pushing the left most keyboard button labeled TEST. Not every TEST function is a
diagnostic of correct analyzer operation, therefore TEST functions not covered below can be
ignored for now.
4. CO REF, CO MEAS - TEST function values should be between 2500 mV and 4700 mV.
5. Pressure - 29 to 30 Inches-Mercury-Absolute at sea level. Other values will be displayed
depending on altitude of analyzer.
6. Sample Flow - 800 cc/min ±20 %.
7. Sample Temp - Ambient temperature (10 - 40°C) ± 10°C.
8. Optical Bench Temp - 48°C ± 1° The computer drives the temp to this setpoint.
9. Filter Wheel Temp - 68°C ± 2° The computer drives the temp to this setpoint.
10. Box Temp - Ambient +10°C.
11. DC Power Supply - 2500 mV ± 200 mV - This is a composite of all of the DC voltages in the
instrument. The value is not important but it should be within the range indicated.
12. If the TEST functions are within the limits given above, the instrument should function
correctly. If there is a problem, please read the manual and check your setup and test values.
The Model 300M is now ready for calibration (see Section 3.1).
