Chapter 1 Introduction The Thermo Scientific™ 43iQ Sulfur Dioxide (SO ) utilizes pulsed fluorescence technology to measure the amount of sulphur dioxide in the air. The pulsing of the UV source lamp serves to increase the optical intensity whereby a greater UV energy throughput and lower detectable SO concentration are realized.

This chapter describes the procedures for calibrating the analyzer and describes the required equipment. The 43iQ requires initial and periodic calibration according to the procedures described in this chapter. A quality control plan that allows the frequency and number of calibration points to be modified depending on calibration and zero/span check data should be implemented.
All calibration gas should be derived from local or working standards (such as cylinders of compressed gas or permeation devices) that are certified as traceable to an NIST primary standard. 43iQ Instruction Manual Thermo Scientific...

Chapter 8 System Description The 43iQ deploys a set of modular subsystems that comprise the total instrument function. The core measurements for concentration are contained in Distributed Measurement and Control (DMC) modules. This chapter describes the function and location of the system components in the module framework, including firmware, electronics, and I/O function.
Light Baffle The circular baffle helps keep stray light from entering the detection volume. Bandpass Filter The bandpass filter restricts the light reaching the photomultiplier tube to the SO fluorescence wavelengths. 43iQ Instruction Manual Thermo Scientific...

Chapter 9, “Optional Equipment”. Common The common electronics contain the core computational and power routing hardware for the 43iQ, and is replicated throughout other iQ series Electronics products (Figure 8–1). It also contains the front panel display, the USB ports, the Ethernet port, and the optional I/O interfaces (RS-485, analog, and digital).
All electronics operate from a universal VDC supply, which is capable of auto-sensing the input voltage and working over all specified operating ranges. The 43iQ contains a 24 VDC channel for most electronics operation, including the pump and fan, and a 48 VDC channel dedicated specifically for optical bench heating.
Firmware Like the hardware, the firmware is modular and located within microprocessors distributed throughout the instrument. In the 43iQ, microprocessors containing firmware are located as follows: Optical Bench DMC Flow/Pressure DMC...

SNMP registers, some of which is interfaced with the front panel Graphical User Interface (GUI). In addition to the operating registers, the 43iQ stores a historical data log in a MySQL database. The memory is provided on the same micro SD card where the operating software resides, for which there is capability to store up to a year of data at 1 minute intervals.
