Q: Why is the ZERO or SPAN button not displayed during calibration? A: The T200 disables certain these buttons expected span or zero value entered by the users is too different from the gas concentration actually measured value at the time. This is to prevent the accidental recalibration of the analyzer to an out-of-range response curve.

5.6.2. CONCENTRATION ALARM RELAY (OPTION 61) The Teledyne API “E” series analyzers have an option for four (4) “dry contact” relays on the rear panel of the instrument. This relay option is different from and in addition to the “Contact Closures” that come standard on all TAPI instruments.
In instruments that sample more than one gas type, there could be more than one gas type triggering the Concentration 1 Alarm (“Alarm 2” Relay). For example, the T200 instrument can monitor both NO & NO gas. The software for this instrument is flexible enough to allow you to configure the alarms so that you can have 2 alarm levels for each gas.
The dilution ratio feature is a software option that is designed for applications where the sample gas is diluted before being analyzed by the T200. Typically this occurs in continuous emission monitoring (CEM) applications where the quality of gas in a smoke stack is being tested and the sampling method used to remove the gas from the stack dilutes the gas.

Teledyne API – T200 NOx Analyzer Operation Manual T200 Calibration Procedures 10.6. CALIBRATION QUALITY ANALYSIS After completing one of the calibration procedures described above, it is important to evaluate the analyzer’s calibration SLOPE and OFFSET parameters. These values describe the linear response curve of the analyzer, separately for NO and NO .
Teledyne API – T200 NOx Analyzer Operation Manual 10.7. GAS FLOW CALIBRATION Rate of sample gas and O flow through the T200 is a key part of the NO , NO and NO concentration calculations. The FLOW CALIBRATION submenu located under the DIAG menu allows the calibration/ adjustment of these calculations.
11.1. T200 CALIBRATION – GENERAL GUIDELINES In general, calibration is the process of adjusting the gain and offset of the T200 against a standard with certified, traceable concentration. The reliability of data derived from the analyzer depends primarily upon its state of calibration.
EPA Protocol Calibration Teledyne API – T200 NOx Analyzer Operation Manual Calibrations should be carried out at the field monitoring site. The analyzer should be in operation for at least several hours (preferably overnight) before calibration so that it is fully warmed up and its operation has stabilized.
Either a strip chart recorder, data acquisition system, digital data acquisition system should be used to record the data from the T200 RS-232 port or analog outputs. If analog readings are being used, the response of that system should be checked against a NIST referenced voltage source or meter. Data recording device should be capable of bi-polar operation so that negative readings can be recorded.
These checks are also used in data reduction and system validation. A Level 1 Span check is used to document that the T200 is within control limits and must be conducted every 2 weeks. A Level 2 Span Check is to be conducted between the Level 1 Checks on a schedule to be determined by the user.

Reaction Cell with PMT Tube and Optical Filter The narrowness of this band of sensitivity allows the T200 to ignore extraneous light and radiation that might interfere with the T200’s measurement. For instance, some oxides of sulfur can also be chemiluminescent...
Once the chamber is completely dark, the T200 records the output of the PMT and keeps a running average of these AZERO values. This average offset value is subtracted from the raw PMT readings while the instrument is measuring NO and NO to arrive at an Auto Zero corrected reading.
It should be noted that the chemiluminescence method is subject to interferences from a number of sources. The T200 has been successfully tested for its ability to reject interference from most of these sources. Table 12- 1 list the most common types of interferents that could affect the performance of your T200.

12.2.2. FLOW RATE CONTROL - CRITICAL FLOW ORIFICES Sample gas flow in the T200 analyzer is created via the use of several flow control assemblies (see Figure 12-8 for an example) located in various places in the gas streams of the instrument. These assemblies consist of: ...
12.2.2.2. Locations and Descriptions of Critical Flow Orifices Inside the T200 The T200 uses several of the following critical flow orifices (Figure 12-9) to create and maintain the proper flow rate of gas through its various components. (Please note that not all features displayed in Figure 12-9 are standard components of T200 analyzers).
NOTE The diameter of a critical flow orifice may change with temperature because of expansion of the orifice material and, hence, the most crucial critical flow orifices in the T200 (those controlling the sample gas and O flow into the cell itself) are located in the reaction cell where they can be maintained at a constant temperature.

, the break-down is not quite fast enough to ensure that it is completely removed from the exhaust gas stream of the T200 by the time the gas exits the analyzer. Due to the high toxicity and reactivity of O , a highly efficient catalytic converter scrubs or converts all of the O from the gas exiting the reaction cell.
12.2.4.3. Sample Gas Flow Calculation Sample gas flow in the T200 analyzer is not a directly measured value, but is rather calculated based on the measured pressure differential across the sample gas critical flow orifice. Specifically, the upstream reading of the sample pressure sensor is compared to the downstream pressure reading of the vacuum pressure sensor and this differential is used, by the analyzer’s CPU, to derive the gas flow rate through the reaction cell.

A PRIMER ON ELECTRO-STATIC DISCHARGE Teledyne API 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. This section describes how static electricity occurs, why it is so dangerous to electronic components and assemblies as well as how to prevent that damage from occurring.
Teledyne API – T200 NOx Analyzer Operation Manual A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge 15.2. 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.
A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge Teledyne API – T200 NOx Analyzer Operation Manual 15.3. 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.
