Teledyne 450H instruction manual ozone

CAUTION

Exhaust gas from the M450H may contain dangerous levels of

ozone!

7.Connect the ozone delivery line to the ¼” inlet fitting on the bottom of the filter assembly. This assembly is located on the bottom face of the enclosure (See Figure 1.3.) The ozone delivery pressure should be regulated to no more than 30psig. All tubing used should be made of ozone resistant material such as PTFE(Teflon™) or PFA. If new, unconditioned tubing is used for the ozone delivery line, the ozone concentration may be affected until the tubing becomes conditioned. Pre-conditioned ¼” tubing can be purchased from Teledyne API. Contact the API sales department and reference part number 02639.

8.If the M450H has been configured with the auto-zero valve option, connect the oxygen or other zero gas source to the ¼” tube fitting labeled ‘Zero Gas Inlet.’ Do not exceed 30 psig in the zero air delivery line.

NOTE

The zero gas used must be clean and free of particles. If the gas contains particulate contamination, install a particulate filter in the zero air line. You can purchase an appropriate filter from Teledyne API.

9.With the ozone delivery line pressurized, adjust the ozone flow rate using the needle valve mounted below the sensor inside the instrument. The flow-rate should be set from 0.5 to 2.0 liters/min. The flow-rate required will depend on your system. As a general guideline, the flow should be set to the lowest value that will still achieve an acceptable response time from the instrument. The lower the flow, the slower the response will be. If a long length of tubing is used for the ozone delivery line then the flow-rate may need to be increased so that the ozone concentration will not degrade in the sample line.

10.Turn on the M450H by switching the power switch on the front panel. The front panel display should light with a sequence of messages, -API - M450H - software version number, then a normal display as shown in Figure 2.2.

11.Allow about 10 minutes for the UV lamp temperature to come up to it’s set- point then press the TST> button on the front keyboard to scroll through the TEST values. Compare these values to those noted during the final factory checkout listed in Table 1.3. The values observed should closely match the Table 1.3 values.
