Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Theory of Operation 10. THEORY OF OPERATION The M200EH/EM Nitrogen Oxides Analyzer is a microprocessor controlled instrument that determines the concentration of nitric oxide (NO), total nitrogen oxides (NO , the sum of NO and NO ) and nitrogen dioxide ) in a sample gas drawn through the instrument.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Theory of Operation Figure 10-2: Conversion Principle By converting the NO in the sample gas into NO, the analyzer can measure the total NO (NO+NO ) content of the sample gas. By switching the NO converter in and out of the sample gas stream every 6 - 10 seconds, the M200EH/EM analyzer is able to quasi-continuously measure both the NO and the total NO content.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Theory of Operation Figure 10-3: Reaction Cell with PMT Tube 10.2.2. OPTICAL FILTER Another critical component in the method by which your M200EH/EM detects chemiluminescence is the optical filter that lies between the reaction cell and the PMT (Figure: 10-3). This filter is a high pass filter that is only transparent to wavelengths of light above 645 nm.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Theory of Operation Figure 10-4: Reaction Cell During the AutoZero Cycle. 10.2.4. MEASUREMENT INTERFERENCES It should be noted that the chemiluminescence method is subject to interferences from a number of sources. The M200EH/EM has been successfully tested for its ability to reject interference from most of these sources.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Theory of Operation The M200EH and 200EM analyzers are typically used in high CO concentration environments. The pneumatic setup of these two analyzer models minimizes the interference from CO such that the analyzers conform to the standards set forth by the US-EPA in Method 20 - NOx from Stationary Gas Turbines, available at http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/promgate.html...
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Theory of Operation 10.3. PNEUMATIC OPERATION CAUTION It is important that the sample airflow system is leak-tight and not pressurized over ambient pressure. Regular leak checks should be performed on the analyzer as described in the maintenance schedule, Table 9-1. Procedures for correctly performing leak checks can be found in Section 11.5.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Theory of Operation Finally, the M200EH/EM requires a steady, high under-pressure, which cannot be achieved reliably over extended periods of time with small vacuum pumps. The external pump used for the M200EH/EM has a very long lifetime and duty cycle and provides a very good vacuum for its entire lifetime. However, the pump is too large to fit into the chassis of the analyzer.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Theory of Operation 10.3.3. FLOW RATE CONTROL - CRITICAL FLOW ORIFICES The Model M200EH/EM analyzers use special flow control assemblies located at various locations around the instrument to maintain constant flow rates for both the O supply air and the sample gas.

Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Theory of Operation Figure 10-10: Flow Control Assembly & Critical Flow Orifice The actual flow rate of gas through the orifice (volume of gas per unit of time), depends on the size and shape of the aperture in the orifice. The larger the hole, the more gas molecules, moving at the speed of sound, pass through the orifice.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Theory of Operation In addition to controlling the gas flows, the two critical flow orifices at the inlets of the reaction cell also maintain an under-pressure inside the reaction cell, effectively reducing the number of molecules in the chamber and therefore increasing the chemiluminescence yield as the likelihood of third body quenching is reduced (Section 10.2.4.1).
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Theory of Operation 10.3.6. O3 GENERATOR The M200EH/EM uses a corona discharge (CD) tube for creating its O .

Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Theory of Operation 10.7.3. TEMPERATURE/PRESSURE COMPENSATION (TPC) The software features a compensation of some temperature and pressure changes critical in the measurement of NO and NO concentration. When the TPC feature is enabled (default setting), the analyzer divides the value of the PMT output signal ( PMTDET) by a value called TP_FACTOR .
The iDAS has a consistent user interface among all Teledyne Instruments A- and E-series instruments. New data parameters and triggering events can be added to the instrument as needed. Section 6.7 describes the iDAS and its default configuration in detail, Chapter 8 shows the parameters that can be used for predictive diagnostics.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Repair 11. TROUBLESHOOTING & REPAIR This section contains a variety of methods for identifying and solving performance problems with the analyzer. NOTE The operations outlined in this chapter must be performed by qualified maintenance personnel only.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Repair 11.1.1. WARNING MESSAGES The most common and/or serious instrument failures will result in a warning message displayed on the front panel. Table A-2 in Appendix A.3 contains a list of warning messages, along with their meaning and recommended corrective action.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Repair maintenance item. A problem report worksheet has been provided in Appendix C (Teledyne Instruments part number 04503) to assist in recording the value of these test functions. The following table contains some of the more common causes for these values to be out of range.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Repair 11.1.4. STATUS LED’S Several color-coded, light-emitting diodes (LED) are located inside the instrument to determine if the analyzer’s CPU, I C communications bus and the relay board are functioning properly. 11.1.4.1.

Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Repair 11.2. GAS FLOW PROBLEMS The M200EH/EM has two main flow paths, the sample flow and the flow of the ozone supply air. With IZS or zero/span valve option installed, there is a third (zero air) and a fourth (span gas) flow path, but either one of those is only controlled by critical flow orifices and not displayed on the front panel or stored to the iDAS.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Repair • Check for actual sample flow. To check the actual sample flow, disconnect the sample tube from the sample inlet on the rear panel of the instrument. Make sure that the unit is in basic SAMPLE mode.
Again, monitoring the pressures and flows regularly will reveal such problems, because the pressures would slowly or suddenly change from their nominal, mean values. Teledyne Instruments recommends to review all test data once per week and to do an exhaustive data analysis for test and concentration values once per month, paying particular attention to sudden or gradual changes in all parameters that are supposed to remain constant, such as the flow rates.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Repair 11.3. CALIBRATION PROBLEMS 11.3.1. NEGATIVE CONCENTRATIONS Negative concentration values can be caused for several reasons: • A slight, negative signal is normal when the analyzer is operating under zero gas and the signal is drifting around the zero calibration point.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Repair • Carry out an electrical test with the ELECTRICAL TEST procedure in the diagnostics menu, see Section 6.13.7.3. If this test produces a concentration reading, the analyzer’s electronic signal path is correct. •...
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Repair 11.3.5. INABILITY TO ZERO - NO ZERO KEY In general, the M200EH/EM will not display certain keyboard choices whenever the actual value of a parameter is outside of the expected range for that parameter. If the calibration menu does not show a ZERO key when carrying out a zero calibration, the actual gas concentration must be significantly different from the actual zero point (as per last calibration), which can have several reasons.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Repair 11.3.7. DISCREPANCY BETWEEN ANALOG OUTPUT AND DISPLAY If the concentration reported through the analog outputs does not agree with the value reported on the front panel, you may need to re-calibrate the analog outputs. This becomes more likely when using a low concentration or low analog output range.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Repair • Dirty or plugged critical flow orifices. Check flows, pressures and, if necessary, change orifices (Section 9.3.9). • Wrong materials in contact with sample - use glass, stainless steel or Teflon materials only. Porous materials, in particular, will cause memory effects and slow changes in response.
11.5.2. DETAILED PRESSURE LEAK CHECK If a leak cannot be located by the above procedure, obtain a leak checker similar to Teledyne Instruments part number 01960, which contains a small pump, shut-off valve, and pressure gauge to create both over-pressure and vacuum.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Repair • Pressurize the instrument with the leak checker or tank gas, allowing enough time to fully pressurize the instrument through the critical flow orifice. Check each tube connection (fittings, hose clamps) with soap bubble solution, looking for fine bubbles.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Repair 11.5.4. AC POWER CONFIGURATION The E-Series digital electronic systems will operate with any of the specified power regimes. As long as instrument is connected to 100-120 VAC or 220-240 VAC at either 50 or 60 Hz it will turn on and after about 30 seconds show a front panel display.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Repair • The Relay PCA 04523 , includes a set of jumpers that connect AC power to heaters included in several optional items, such as the zero/span valve options and the O sensor option available on the M200EH/EM analyzers.

Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Repair 11.5.12. PMT SENSOR The photo multiplier tube detects the light emitted by the reaction of NO with ozone. It has a gain of about 1: 500000 to 1:1000000. It is not possible to test the detector outside of the instrument in the field. The best way to determine if the PMT is working properly is by using the optical test ( OTEST ), which is described in Section 6.13.6.2.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Repair 11.5.15. PNEUMATIC SENSOR ASSEMBLY The pressure/flow sensor circuit board, located behind the sensor assembly, can be checked with a voltmeter using the following procedure, which assumes that the wiring is intact and that the motherboard and the power supplies are operating properly.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Repair 11.5.15.3. Ozone Flow Measure the voltage across TP1 and TP3. With proper ozone flow (250 cm /min), this should be approximately 3.0 ± 0.3 V (this voltage will vary with altitude). With flow stopped (pump turned off), the voltage should be approximately 0 V.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Repair • In some cases with excessive sample moisture, the oxidized molybdenum metal chips inside the converter cartridge may bake together over time and restrict air flow through the converter, in which case it needs to be replaced. To avoid this problem, we recommend the use of a sample gas conditioner (Section 5.10).
Note that maintenance procedures (e.g., replacement of regularly changed expendables) are discussed in Chapter 8 (Maintenance) are not listed here. Also note that Teledyne-API customer service may have a more detailed service note for some of the below procedures. Contact customer service.

Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Repair 11.6.4. SAMPLE AND OZONE DRYER REPLACEMENT The M200EH/EM standard configuration is equipped with a dryer for the ozone supply air. An optional dryer is available for the sample stream and a combined dryer for both gas streams can also be purchased. To change one or all of these options: 1.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual Troubleshooting & Repair 11.6.5. PMT SENSOR HARDWARE CALIBRATION The sensor module hardware calibration is used in the factory to adjust the slope and offset of the PMT output and to optimize the signal output and HVPS. If the instrument’s slope and offset values are outside of the acceptable range and all other more obvious causes for this problem have been eliminated, the hardware calibration can be used to adjust the sensor as has been done in the factory.
Refer to Figure - for the structure of the 200EH/EM sensor assembly and follow the steps below for replacement of one of its components. We recommend to ensure that the PMT, HVPS or TEC modules are, indeed, faulty to prevent unnecessary opening of the sensor.

12. A PRIMER ON ELECTRO-STATIC DISCHARGE Teledyne Instruments considers the prevention of damage caused by the discharge of static electricity to be extremely important part of making sure that your analyzer continues to provide reliable service for a long time.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge 12.2. HOW ELECTRO-STATIC CHARGES CAUSE DAMAGE Damage to components occurs when these static charges come into contact with an electronic device. Current flows as the charge moves along the conductive circuitry of the device and the typically very high voltage levels of the charge overheat the delicate traces of the integrated circuits, melting them or even vaporizing parts of them.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge 12.3. COMMON MYTHS ABOUT ESD DAMAGE • I didn’t feel a shock so there was no electro-static discharge : The human nervous system isn’t able to feel a static discharge of less than 3500 volts. Most devices are damaged by discharge levels much lower than that.
Model 200EH/EM Instruction Manual A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge 12.4.1. General Rules Only handle or work on all electronic assemblies at a properly set up ESD station.
