Teledyne 360E 6.8.7. Dilution Ratio

Model 360E Instruction Manual Operating Instructions

6.8.7. Dilution Ratio

The dilution ratio is a software option that allows the user to compensate for any dilution of the sample gas

before it enters the sample inlet. Using the dilution ratio option is a 4-step process:

1. Select reporting range units: Follow the procedure in Section 6.8.6.

2. Select the range: Use the procedures in Sections 6.8.2 – 6.8.5. Make sure that the SPAN value entered

is the maximum expected concentration of the undiluted calibration gas and that the span gas is either

supplied through the same dilution inlet system as the sample gas or has an appropriately lower actual

concentration. For example, with a dilution set to 100, a 10 ppm gas can be used to calibrate a 1000

ppm sample gas if the span gas is not routed through the dilution system. On the other hand, if a 1000

ppm span gas is used, it needs to pass through the same dilution steps as the sample gas.

3. Set the dilution factor as a gain (e.g., a value of 20 means 20 parts diluting gas and 1 part of sample

gas):

SAMPLE RANGE = 500.000 PPM CO2 =X.XXX

installed

SETUP C.3 DIL FACTOR: 1.0 GAIN

Toggle these keys to set the dilution

factor.

This is the number by which the

analyzer will multiply the CO2

concentrations of the gas passing

through the reaction cell.

SETUP C.3 DIL FACTOR: 20.0 GAIN

0 0 2 0 .0 ENTR EXIT

EXIT ignores the

new setting.

ENTR accepts the

new setting.

The analyzer multiplies the measured gas concentrations with this dilution factor and displays the result.

NOTE

Once the above settings have been entered, the instrument needs to be recalibrated

using one of the methods discussed in Chapter 7.
