  • Page 31: The M100A So Analyzer

    4 THE M100A SO ANALYZER 4.1 Principle of Operation The operation of the Teledyne API Model 100A Analyzer is based upon the well proven technology from the measurement of fluorescence of SO due to absorption of UV energy. Sulfur Dioxide absorbs in the 190 nm - 230 nm region free of quenching by air and relatively free of other interferences.
  • Page 32 Teledyne API Model 100A SO Analyzer Instruction Manual, 02164, Rev. G Ultraviolet light is focused through a narrow 214 nm bandpass filter into the reaction chamber. Here it excites the SO molecules, which give off their characteristic decay radiation. A second filter allows only the decay radiation to fall on the PMT.

    Teledyne API Model 100A SO Analyzer Instruction Manual, 02164, Rev. G 9.4 Optical Sensor Module Troubleshooting 9.4.1 PMT The PMT detects the light emitted by the secondary emission of the SO molecules. It has very high gain and low noise to detect the weak light source optimally. It is not possible to test the detector outside of the instrument in the field.
