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

NOTE

You should now reset the expected span concentration values in the new units and re-calibrate the instrument using one of the methods in Section 7.

Changing units affects all of the RS-232 values, all of the

display values, and all of the calibration values.

Example:

If the current units are in ppb and the span value is 400 ppb, and the units are changed to ug/m3 the span value is NOT re-calculated to the equivalent value in ug/m3. Therefore the span value now becomes 400 ug/m3 instead of 400 ppb.

5.3.4.5 Recorder Offset

If necessary, the analog outputs can be biased. This can be used to offset the output voltage of each channel ±10% of the current output voltage setting. It is intended for recorders that cannot show slightly negative readings. It can also be used to bias the input to a datalogger to offset small external ground loop voltages that are sometimes present in monitoring systems

The offset is set in the V/F calibration menu. Press SETUP-MORE-DIAG, scroll to A/D CALIBRATION, then press ENTR. Select CFG-SET-OFFSET, then enter the desired offset and press ENTR. Press EXIT to return to the SAMPLE mode.

5.3.5 Password Enable

If password protection is enabled, a password is required to access calibration or setup menus. In the VARS menu a password is always required. To enable passwords press SETUP-PASS-ON. A list of passwords is in Table 5-7.
