Teledyne 300 instruction manual Operation verification

1.7 Operation verification

The Model 300 Analyzer is now ready for operation.

1.Read Sections 1.3 and all of Section 4 of the manual to understand the Analyzer operation.

2.Turn on the power by pressing the on/off switch on the front panel (see Figure 2.1). The display should turn on and green (sample) status LED should be energized. The green LED should blink indicating the

instrument has entered the HOLD-OFF mode. Sample mode can be entered immediately by pressing the EXIT button on the front panel. The red "fault" light will also be on until the flows, temperatures and voltages are within operating limits. Clear the fault messages.

3.After a 60 minute warm-up, review the TEST function values in the front panel display by pushing the left most keyboard button labeled TEST. Not every TEST function is a diagnostic of correct analyzer operation, therefore TEST functions not covered below can be ignored for now.

4.CO REF, CO MEAS - TEST function values should be between 3200 mV and 4700 mV.

5.Pressure - 29 to 30 Inches-Mercury-Absolute at sea level. Other values will be displayed depending on altitude of Analyzer.

6.Sample Flow - 800 cc/min ±10 %

7.Sample Temp - Ambient temperature ± 10 °C

8.Optical Bench Temp - 48°C ±1° The computer drives the temp to this setpoint.

9.Filter Wheel Temp - 68°C ±2° The computer drives the temp to this setpoint.

10.Box Temp - Ambient ±10 °C

11.DC Power Supply - 2500 mV ± 50 mV - This is a composite of all of the DC voltages in the instrument. The value is not important but it should be within the range indicated.

12.If the TEST functions are within the limits given above, chances are very good the instrument will function correctly. If there is a problem, please read the manual and check your set-up. The Model 300 is now ready for calibration (see Section 3.5).
