Introduction 1. Introduction Intended Use The Picarro SI2108 analyzer detects Hydrogen Chloride in parts per billion. This manual describes analyzer operation only. For service tasks, refer to the SI2000 Series Service Manual, Picarro Document Number 40-0046. Proper use of the SI2000 instruments do not include personal protection or monitoring of the occupied space.

Hazards 2. Hazards The hazards identified and explained in this section might be encountered during maintenance or service tasks. Hazardous Voltage There are two locations that the voltage potentials operate above 30 Volts RMS. The first location is in the rear of the instrument on power entry adapter in which the power cord plug plugs into.

Surrogate Gas Validation At any time in the process, click ‘Abort’ to end the run. No report will be created if Abort is selected. When switching cylinders, follow these steps to avoid damaging the instrument: • Do not turn off the gas valve before disconnecting the cylinder CAUTION from the analyzer.
Page 56
If there is a discrepancy, run the test again, correcting the discrepancies on the Cylinder Editor step. If the analyzer did not pass and there is no discrepancy between the nominal values of the calibrants in the report and the values of the cylinders used during validation, contact Picarro.

Appendix C: Analog Signal Output 12. Appendix C: Analog Signal Output Overview This analyzer is configured with an optional Electrical Interface Card (EIC) that provides 4 analog signals for monitoring various measurement results and analyzer parameters. Two circular connectors, on the back panel of the analyzer (are available for analog output. The pinout for each connector is listed in the table below.
Page 67
Appendix C: Analog Signal Output Analog Output Configuration +1 volt indicates 0 in all cases: Each channel has a +1 volt offset. Treat <=0 volts as an error. This helps prevent reading the wrong values because of improper wiring (ground loops). Example for Channel 0: 1V = 20ppb with a 1V offset.
