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

5.3.4.2 Auto Range

Auto Range allows the NO, NOx, NO2 outputs to automatically range between a low range and a high range. There is only one low range and one high range for all outputs. The Hi range mode is signaled by a bit on the STATUS option, see Table 5-9. When the instrument output increases to 98% of the low range value, it will Auto Range into Hi range. In Hi range, when the output decreases to 75% of low range, it will change to the lower range. If you select a Hi range that is less than Low range, the M200AU will remain locked in Low range and behave as a Single Range instrument.

To set up Auto Range press SETUP-RNGE-MODE-AUTO, then press ENTR. To set the values press SETUP-RNGE-SET. The M200AU will prompt you for LO, then HI which are the lower and upper ranges of Auto Range. Key in the values desired, then press ENTR.

5.3.4.3 Independent Ranges

Independent Ranges allows you to select different ranges for NO, NOx, and NO2.

To set up Independent Ranges press SETUP-RNGE-MODE-IND, then press ENTR. To set the values press SETUP-RNGE-SET. The M200AU will prompt you for the range of NO, NOx and NO2 channels. Key in the desired range for each channel, press ENTR after each value.

5.3.4.4 Concentration Units

The M200AU can display concentrations in ppb, ug/m3 units. Concentrations displayed in ug/m3 use 0° C, 760 mm-Hg for STP. Consult your local regulations for the STP used by your agency. The following equations give approximate conversions:

NO ppb x 1.34 = NO ug/m3

NO ppm x 1.34 = NO mg/m3

NO2 ppb x 2.05 = NO2 ug/m3

NO2 ppm x 2.05 = NO2 mg/m3

NH3 ppb x 0.76 = NH3 ug/m3

NH3 ppm x 0.76 = NH3 mg/m3

To change the current units press SETUP-RNGE-UNIT from the SAMPLE mode and select the desired units.
