Page 10: Principle Of Operation
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The heart of the J405 is the well-proven gold film sensing technology. A thin gold film, in the presence of mercury vapor, undergoes an increase in electrical resistance proportional to the mass of mercury vapor in the sample. When the SAMPLE button is pressed, an internal pump pulls ambient air through a scrubber filter (AZI P/N: 600-0262) and into the flow system. -
Page 11: Zero Air Filter (Azi P/N Z2600 3905)
The instrument’s microprocessor automatically re-zeroes the digital meter at the start of each sample cycle and holds the meter reading until the next sample cycle is activated, thus eliminating drift between samples. During the sample mode cycle, a sensor saturation meter on the LCD represents the percentage of sensor saturation, or adsorbed mercury collected on the gold film. -

Page 26: Operating On Ac Power Or Generator
Operating on AC Power or Generator • For stationary use, the J405 may be operated on AC power. Operating the instrument on AC power at all times eliminates the need for the battery pack and its necessary maintenance. The battery may be disconnected internally or removed completely whenever the instrument is operating on AC power. -
Page 27: External Battery Power
Medium Frequency user: Once per month usage. For this type of user, the instrument should be plugged in for a minimum of three (3) hours prior to use. Otherwise, the instrument can be left unplugged. Infrequent user: Greater than one month between uses or long term storage. For this type of user, the instrument should be fully charged and the battery should be disconnected. -
Page 28: Charging Internal Battery
When operating using the external battery pack, the J405 will shut down after twenty (20) minutes of non-usage. However, if the instrument is running in Survey Mode or Auto-Sampling mode, the instrument will not shut off after twenty minutes. If the J405 is reading low levels of mercury in Survey or Auto-Sampling mode, it will continue to sample until the battery runs out. -
Page 29: Retrieving Data
Retrieving Data On instruments that have the USB Communications option, sample data can be transmitted from the J405 for analysis using the USB connections on the back panel of the J405. Data may be transmitted directly to a PC, saved to a USB drive plugged into the J405 or printed to an AZI printer connected to the J405. -
Page 30: Instrument I/O Interface
Instrument I/O Interface The J405 I/O port is a DB-25F connector on the back of the instrument that provides numerous specialized functions for specific industrial applications and for factory use. System integration utilizing the 4-20mA output feature is the most common use of the I/O port. NOTE: This is NOT a printer connection. - Page 31 To utilize the 4-20mA output, connect the positive wire of your 4-20mA system to pin 19 of the I/O port on the J405, and the negative wire to pin 20. The number of each pin of the I/O port is labeled on the port itself, and the locations of pins 19 and 20 can also be seen in the diagram below.

Page 33: Flow System
Flow System ® The Jerome J405's flow system is the crucial link between the sensor and the sample. For the instrument to perform correctly, the flow system must be properly maintained. The user maintainable components of this system are the intake filter (.25 inch fritware), an AG Filter, two scrubber filters and connecting tubing. -
Page 34: Ag Filter Check
AG Filter Check ® The increased sensitivity of the Jerome J405 requires the replacement of the AG filter (600- 0293) every 500 samples to ensure the accuracy of the readings. If your application will require in excess of six (6) months to reach 500 samples, the AG filter should still be changed every six months along with the other internal filters. -

Page 54: Appendix B - J405 Functional Test Kit
APPENDIX B – J405 FUNCTIONAL TEST KIT If your application requires frequent verification of instrument functionality, this test will benefit you. If the test results fall within the expected range, you may assume the instrument is functioning properly. THIS IS A FIELD CHECK OF THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE INSTRUMENT. THIS TEST DOES NOT CALIBRATE THE INSTRUMENT. -
Page 55: Mercury Transfer
Mercury Transfer • CAREFULLY pour the mercury into the center of the functional test kit vessel’s opening. ENSURE that no mercury residue is on the outside of the vessel. See the supplier’s Safety Data Sheets (SDS) or call AZI Customer Service at 1-800-528-7411 or 1-602- 470-1414 for clean-up instructions. -
Page 56: Syringe Technique
Syringe Technique • Pull and hold the syringe plunger against the bar-stop. • Verify that the black mark on the syringe plunger aligns with the 1cc mark on the syringe barrel. If it does not, the holder assembly must be adjusted. Call AZI customer service at 602-470-1414 or 800-528-7411 for assistance. -
Page 57: Functional Test Procedure
• When “Purging” disappears from the display, release the plunger and allow gravity to feed the mercury vapor into the airstream. If the plunger stops, gently press it completely closed. • Remove the syringe needle from the septum. Functional Test Procedure NOTE: Perform the functional test ONLY after sensor regeneration. -
Page 58: J405 Ftk Instrument Response Chart
• Repeat the instructions for mercury injection three more times. The readings obtained for the last three 1cc injections should be within ± 5% of each other. • Refer to the J405 FTK Instrument Response Chart, below, for the acceptable range. ... -
