Teledyne API Model 200AU NOX Analyzer Instruction Manual, 02293, Rev. F

2 GETTING STARTED

2.1Unpacking

1.Verify that there is no apparent shipping damage. If damage has occurred please advise shipper first, then Teledyne API.

CAUTION

To avoid personal injury, always use two persons to

lift and carry the Model 200AU.

2.Before operation, it is necessary to remove the shipping hold-down screws. Remove the instrument cover, then refer to Figure 2-1 for screw location.

3.Also check for internal shipping damage, and generally inspect the interior of the instrument to make sure all circuit boards and other components are in good shape.

4.Please check the voltage and frequency label on the rear panel of the instrument for compatibility with the local power before plugging in the M200AU.

2.2Electrical and Pneumatic Connections

Refer to Figure 2-2 to locate the rear panel electrical and pneumatic connections.

1.Attach the pump to the Exhaust Out port on the instrument rear panel.

2.If you are connecting to a calibrator, attach a vented sample inlet line to the sample inlet port. The pressure of the sample gas at the inlet port should be at ambient pressure. The exhaust from the pump should be vented to atmospheric pressure. See Figure 2-3 for inlet and exhaust line venting recommendations during calibration.

3.If desired, attach the analog output connections to a strip chart recorder and/or datalogger. Refer to Figure 9-4 for the jumper settings for the desired analog output voltage range. Factory default setting is 0-5VDC.

4.Connect the power cord to the correct voltage line, then turn to Section 2.3 Initial Operation.
