Teledyne 200A 7.6 Calibrate on NO2 Permeation Tube

Teledyne API Model 200A NOX Analyzer Instruction Manual, 02246, Rev. G, DCN 5247

7.6 Calibrate on NO2 Permeation Tube

If the M200A is equipped with the IZS option, is possible to span the instrument on the

permeation tube. If this feature is enabled, the instrument internal valves are set so that gas is

routed through the permeation tube, then the moly converter, thus producing NO gas. The

software is programmed to use this known NO gas concentration to span both the NO and NOx

channels of the instrument. Thus, if CAL-ON-NO2 is enabled, the CALS button now will span

both the NO and NOx channels of the instrument.

CAUTION

This feature has some unexpected side effects.

If CAL-ON-NO2 is enabled and you do a SPAN CHECK or SPAN CAL, the NO2 concentration

will be reported as ZERO! This is because all of the NO2 gas is being routed through the

molybdenum converter during both the NO and NOx portions of the measurement cycle. Thus

the instrument sees the SAME concentration of NO gas in the NO and NOx channels, and

reports a NO2 concentration of zero.

As long as CAL-ON-NO2 is enabled the instrument will never report any NO2 during span

calibration. This feature should be enabled only when a calibration is desired, otherwise leave it

disabled so that NO2 concentrations are reported correctly. See Table 7-7-9 to enable this

feature.

NOTE

Note that this method of calibration is NOT approved by the USEPA.

Permeation tubes are known to change as temperatures are cycled,

and as they age. Also, this calibration relies on the moly converter

to be working properly. (Converter efficiency can be compensated

by enabling the Converter Efficiency option.) It is recommended that

if CAL-ON-NO2 is used, the instrument calibration be checked

frequently by independent means to assure accurate data.
