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

6 OPTIONAL HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE

Optional equipment offered with the M200AU includes:

1.Rack mount with slides

2.Rack mount without slides, ears only

3.Stainless steel zero/span valves

4.4-20mA, isolated outputs

5.NOy Converter

6.1Rack Mount Options

Rack Mount including slides and ears, permits the Analyzer to be mounted in a standard 19" wide x 24" deep RETMA rack. Can also be ordered without slides for applications requiring the instrument to be rigidly mounted in a RETMA rack.

6.2 Zero/Span Valves

The Zero/Span Valve option consists of two stainless steel solenoid valves. This option is applicable only to the instrument with internal molybdenum converter. See Figure 2-5 for valve location. Connections are provided on the rear panel for span gas and zero gas inputs to the valves. (See Figure 2-2) The valves can be actuated by several methods shown in Table 6-1.
