6.4 4-20 mA, Current Loop Output

The current loop option replaces the voltage output of the instrument with an isolated 4-20 mA current output. The current outputs come out on the same terminals that were used for voltage outputs, see Figure 2-2. See Troubleshooting Section 9.3.3 for setup and calibration.

6.5 NOy Converter

The NOy Converter Option allows placement of the molybdenum converter at the sample inlet point. This configuration is useful for background studies and where it is desirable to immediately convert certain components of the atmosphere that decompose rapidly, or may be lost on the walls of a normal sample induction system. This group of compounds is sometimes referred to as NOy.

The Option consists of a modified M200AU, a M501Y chassis and remote converter. The pneumatic diagram for this system of components is in Figure 8-7. Because of the nature of this option, there is a separate manual “M501Y – Remotely Mounted Converter” (P/N 02808). The manual covers setup, calibration, and operation of the system.
