Safety Considerations
The 1316A-1 Multi Gas Monitor is designed and tested to comply with EN
61010-1.2nd
(2001) Safety requirements for electrical equipment for
measurement, control, and laboratory use. The protection provided by the
instrument may be impaired if not used as specified by LumaSense
Technologies A/S. To ensure safe operation and retain the monitor in safe
condition, special note should be made of the following:
Explosion Hazard!
TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF AN EXPLOSION, MONITORING OF
FLAMMABLE GASES IN EXPLOSIVE CONCENTRATIONS
MUST NEVER
BE ATTEMPTED.
Never operate this monitor in potentially explosive environments.
When monitoring potentially flammable or toxic gases it is essential:
•The instrument itself is placed in a well-ventilated area outside the
potentially hazardous zone; and
•That a sufficiently long tube is connected to the Gas Outlet on the
back panel so that the sampled gas is carried away to the open air or
to an extraction and/or filtration unit.
Warnings!
•Water condensation in the instrument will damage it severely, and
must therefore be avoided.
•Switch off all equipment before connecting or disconnecting their digital
interface. Failure to do so could damage the equipment.
•Whenever it is likely that the correct function or operating safety of the
apparatus has been impaired, the apparatus must be made inoperative
and be secured against unintended operation.
•Any adjustment, maintenance and repair of the open apparatus under
voltage must be avoided as far as possible and, if unavoidable, must be
carried out by trained service personnel only.
Applying power
Before using this apparatus, verify that the correct fuses are installed.
The instrument must always be operated with its chassis at earth
potential. Only use power outlets that
can supply an earth to the
instrument.

Instruction Manual Page 8 of 98
1.1 Broad Overview
The 1316A-1 Multi Gas Monitor simultaneously measures the
concentration of up to 5 Gases. The concentration of each gas is
expressed as ppm or a volume percentage referenced to dry gas
condition.
The measurement principles are based on Non Dispersive Infrared
(NDIR) and Electrochemical Sensors. A full discussion of these
principles is contained in section 1.4.
The monitor is designed to be integrated into permanent monitoring
systems to provide fast and accurate measurement results over a
wide range of concentrations.
The monitor comes complete with PC software that allows you to
configure and calibrate the monitor prior to measuring, display the
measurement data numerically and/or graphically while
measurements are being made. The stored data can be recalled at a
later stage for closer examination.
1.2 Monitor System Description
Figure 1.1 shows a flow diagram of the 1316A-1 Multi Gas Monitor.
There are three basic blocks:
1. Pneumatic with pump and three-way-valve.
2. Control Software and PC Interface
3. NDIR Module VM0100A and Module (UA1372) with Electro
Chemical Sensors
1.2.1 Control Software and PC Interface
This block contains microprocessor based electronics that take care
of interfacing the monitor to a PC via an RS-232 or USB link, send
control data to the measuring system and receive measurement data
from the measuring system.
There are no external controls on the monitor apart from the mains
On/Off switch. All configuration of the monitor is, therefore, done
over the serial link or USB link using a PC running the specially
developed BZ 6012 software.

1.2.2 NDIR Module and UA1372 Module (Optional) Measuring System
This block is the heart of the monitor. It contains the Infrared source
the sample cell and the Detector with specialized optical filters and
processing electronics necessary to do highly accurate measurement
of gas concentrations.
The UA1372 are connected to the NDIR module for data transfer to
the Controlling PC Software.
Measurement samples are sucked into the measurement chambers
via the Gas Inlet or the Zero Gas Inlet, depending upon the
command from the BZ6012. The internal gas-circuits (see figure 1.1)
are arranged such that samples pass through the measurement
chamber in a continuous flow and directed from the NDIR sample cell
to the UA1372 Module to the Electrochemical Sensors. Exhaust gases
are expelled via the gas outlet. The Zero Gas used for zero
calibration of the NDIR Module and for Span Calibrating the Oxygen
Sensor is drawn via the Zero Gas inlet.

1.2.3 Power Supply
The power supply included in the 1316A-1 can be directly connected
to a wide range of single phase mains supplies and still be able to
produce the stable voltages required to keep the monitor within
calibration.
1.3 Software Description
The BZ 6012 software is menu driven specifically written to control
the 1316A-1 monitor. The software allows you to change the
operational parameters and see the results of measurements on the
PC screen.
The software can be used to control up to four Multi Gas Monitors
1316A-1 including these instruments in your system allows up to 4
different sample points to be controlled measured by the BZ6012.
You can also use the PC’s filing system to save a series of
measurements for later recall any other PC software that can
interpret a space delimited file, for example certain spreadsheet
programs.
Note though that the save-to-disk process is not a dump of data from
the 1316A-1 to the PC, but a process in which the data log file on the
PC is updated continuously.
Therefore, to use the PC to log data, it must be constantly attached
to the 1316A-1.
As well as providing control over the measurement configuration of
the monitor, the software also has calibration procedures that allow
you to calibrate the monitor against known reference gas
concentrations.
1.3.1 NDIR Module and the optional UA1372 Module Versions
LumaSense offers several NDIR modules giving the possibility to
configure the Multi Gas Monitor 1316A-1 for different applications.
Please contact your local LumaSense A/S representative for further
information.
LumaSense Electrochemical Sensors to be mounted in the Manifold of
the UA1372. Beside Oxygen (VM0200 A) it is possible to install a, NO
(VM0201A) sensor. Please contact your local LumaSense A/S
representative for further information.
The NDIR Module and the Electrochemical Sensors are to be specified
prior to purchase.

The Multi Gas Monitor INNOVA 1316A-1 is delivered as specified by
the Customer.
1.4 NDIR Gas Measurement
The Module VM0100A measures the following sample gas
concentrations: Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and
Hydro Carbons (HC) either with reference to N-Hexane or Propane
(selectable from the BZ6012 Application Software)
And the UA1372 is as an example given with an O2, and NO sensor
installed.
1.4.1 HC, CO and CO2Measurement
The NDIR measurement method uses fixed, non-scanning infrared
light frequencies to characterize HC, CO, and CO2gas
concentrations. NDIR absorption profiles are the basis for
measurement. The concentration of a gas volume is a function of the
quantity of gas molecules in the sample. The absorption of infrared
light increases with the number of gas molecules in the light path. As
the concentration of infrared-absorbing gas increases, the
transmission of infrared light decreases. A basic NDIR measurement
system includes the following elements:
Sample
Delivery:
The portion of the gas is transported to the 1316A-1 where particulates are
removed before the gas is introduced to the NDIR module.
Infrared
Source:
An infrared light source produces a wide range of light at frequencies covering the
infrared band and extending into the visible spectrum.
Sample
Cell:
The gas to be measured is transported through a sample cell that allows infrared
light to pass through the sample.
Infrared
Filters:
An optical band pass filter is used to select a specific band of infrared light. The
filter wavelength is based on the gas to be measured. Separate infrared filters are
used in the measurement of HC, CO, and CO2gas concentrations.
Infrared
Detector:
Infrared light not absorbed by the sample gas is transmitted to infrared detectors.
The detectors produce an output voltage that is proportional to the measured light.
See figure 1.2

1.4.3 The NDIR Module Building blocks
Infrared Source
A current-regulated infrared (IR) source provides a photon stream in
the range of 2 to 5 microns. Light is collimated and directed through
the sample cell to the optical block. The source is modulated at 1 Hz,
with a duty cycle of 50%.
Figure 1.4 The Optics of the NDIR Module.
Sample Cell
The sample cell is a gold-coated glass chamber that provides a
means for the infrared source to pass through the sample gas.
Infrared-transparent sapphire windows are provided at each end of
the cell. A microprocessor controlled transducer and thermistor
provide measurement compensation for sample gas temperature and
pressure variances. Sample gas exits the cell at the end opposite the
IR source and is directed to the UA1372 manifold for O2or O2/NO
measurement.
Optical Block
Infrared light not absorbed by the sample gas is transmitted to the
optical assembly. The remaining light is directed to the band pass
filters and on through to the quad detector.
The filter wavelengths are optimised to match the absorption spectra
of Hydrocarbons, Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide.
The filter associated with Hydrocarbons is centred on 3.46 µm (2889
cm-1), the filter associated with Carbon Dioxide is centred on 4.43

µm (2260 cm-1), and the filter associated with Carbon Monoxide is
centred on 4.65 µm (2150 cm-1).
In the measurement chamber the three beams, which differ in
wavelength frequency, each excite their respective gas (if present).
The absorption of the incident light will be registered by the
Detector.
System Board Assembly
The system board assembly is a surface-mount printed circuit board
that includes the digital and analogue electronic components and the
IR detector assembly. The IR detector assembly includes thermopile
IR detectors for the HC, CO, CO2, and reference channels. Light
passed through the band pass filters is directed through the
thermopile window to a detector substrate. The substrate has a light-
sensitive coating, which produces a voltage that is proportional to
light intensity. A reference voltage is produced by the reference
detector, which provides an output that varies with light intensity
and is not affected by the sample gas. The HC detector includes a
thermistor. The detector block temperature measurement facilitates
compensation for IR filter and IR detector temperature variances.
The detector outputs are amplified and sent through a multiplexer to
an ADC converter. The microprocessor samples the ADC converter
output at 200 Hz and derives an uncompensated digital value
representing each gas concentration. The data are subjected to a
compensation routine that provides adjustment for temperature and
pressure variances. The digital value representing each gas
concentration is derived.
1.4.4 The NDIR Temperature Measurements.
The analyzer incorporates several thermistors for the measurement
of temperatures.
IR Detector/Filter Temperature (HC Temperature):
A thermistor located in the optical assembly measures the IR
detector and IR filter temperature. It is used as follows:
“Gas law compensation” and detector response compensation during
HC, CO and CO2gas concentration measurement.
Span calibration (via the use of temperature compensated HC, CO2
and CO data).
An “out of range” IR detector/filter temperature condition causes HC,
CO2and CO data to be declared “data invalid.”

Chapter 1
_________________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________
BE6020-14 1316A-1 Multi Gas Monitor LumaSense Technologies A/S
Instruction Manual Page 15 of 98
In the Module the IR Detector/Filter Temperature is monitored to set
the zero request bit as follows:
Zero Request if a ±5°C temperature change has occurred.
Ambient Temperature Out Of Range is set when the IR
Detector/Filter Temperature is not within its allowed range.
Sample Cell Temperature:
The Module sample cell temperature is monitored by a thermistor in
contact with the sample cell. This temperature measurement is used
as follows:
An “out of range” sample cell temperature condition causes HC, CO2
and CO data to be declared “data invalid.”
Sample Cell Temperature Out Of Range is set when the Sample Cell
Temperature is not within its allowed range.
NO Sensor Temperature:
A thermistor located in each NO sensor assembly monitors NO
sensor temperature. It is used as follows:
Sensor response during NO gas concentration measurement.
An “out of range” NO sensor temperature condition causes NO data
to be declared “data invalid. ”The NDIR Pressure Measurements.
1.4.5 The NDIR Pressure Measurements.
The Module includes two pressure transducers for measurement of
the pressures. An absolute pressure transducer measures the
pressure in the sample cell. A differential pressure transducer on the
power section of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) measures the
difference between ambient pressure and the sample gas pressure
between the inlet port and the pump. These pressure measurements
are used as follows:
Sample Cell Pressure (absolute). Sample cell pressure is used as
follows:
Gas law compensation” during HC, CO and CO2gas concentration
measurement.
Zero/O2Span and Span calibration (via the use of temperature
compensated HC, CO2and CO data).

Chapter 1
_________________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________
BE6020-14 1316A-1 Multi Gas Monitor LumaSense Technologies A/S
Instruction Manual Page 16 of 98
During a Zero/O2Span calibration, sample delivery pressure is
compared to ambient pressure (see below). If the difference is too
great, the Out Flow Fault status bit is set true and the pump is
switched Off.
1.4.6 The O2and NO Measurement
O2and NO gas concentration are measured using electrochemical
(fuel cell) sensors. A fuel cell sensor provides an electrical response
that is proportional to the concentration of the sample gas.
The NDIR Module sample-cell exhaust is directed to UA1372 manifold
for O2or O2/NO measurement. Sample gas is delivered to the O2and
NO sensors through this manifold. The O2sensor provides a linear
output of approximately 9 to 13 milli-volts that is proportional to the
Oxygen concentration in the sample. The NO sensor provides a linear
output of approximately 50 nano-amperes per ppm of nitric oxide
over the range of 0 to 5000 ppm in the gas sample. A 3-volt lithium
battery is included on the NO sensor to retain bias voltage when
source power is not applied.
Both O2and NO sensor outputs are sent to an ADC converter that
provides digital values representing gas concentration. Gas
concentration is determined by comparing sensor output at
calibration with the output of the sample measurement.
By calibrating the system with known concentrations of Hydrocarbon,
Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, and for the UA1372 option
Oxygen and NO the absolute concentration values can be calculated.
In normal practice ambient air is used as the reference gas for the
Oxygen measurement as it contains a stable amount of Oxygen –
20.95 % referenced to dry gas condition.

2.1 Installing the Monitor
The rear panel has a serial-link and a USB socket for the PC
interface. The mains input, sample gas inlet and outlet for expelled
gas samples are located on the rear panel.
2.1.1 Operating Environment
The following environmental conditions must be observed:
•Safe ambient operating temperatures range from 5°C to 40°C
•Humidity should not exceed 90% RH non-condensing.
Warning! The monitor is not intended for use in explosive
environments.
2.1.2 The Gas Sample Line
The gas to be sampled (measured) is drawn from the sample point
via a sample line at a flow rate of 800 ml/min. Various types of
sample lines are available depending on the individual application.
The sample line tubing between the sample point and the monitor
should be kept as short as possible to assist response times. If you
are unsure about the type of sample line for your application, contact
your LumaSense representative for advice before installing the
system.
Up to 100 m tube (AF0614) with internal diameter 3mm can be
attached. The response time is then 70 sec.
Note: You must use a filter in the gas-line immediately before the
gas-line enters the monitor. The UD 5091A in-line filter (optional
accessory) is ideal for this purpose.
The gas inlet for the sample line is located on the rear panel of the
monitor. If the dew point of the gas sample is comparable to the
temperature in the monitor, Nafion tubing UD5037 can be used to
remove water and eliminate the risk of condensation inside the
monitor
Nafion is impermeable to O2, CO2, CO and most hydrocarbons,
whereas alcohols and other gases will completely or partly penetrate
through the material. Contact an LumaSense Technical Support
representative for advice on whether or not to use Nafion when
monitoring a particular gas.
You should protect the Nafion tubing against the effects of ultra-
violet light, as this reduces the tubes lifetime. Nafion tubing should

2.2.2 Installing the BZ6012 Software on the PC
Before the software can be installed and started, the PC must fulfil
the necessary requirements (see section 2.2.1). It is recommended
that the person who installs the BZ6012 application is familiar with
installing programs i.e. your system administrator.
1. Switch on the computer and its peripherals.
2. Login as Administrator and make a new User Account in the
Control Panel with the user name ‘BZ6012’. Create this BZ6012
user with Administrator rights.
3. Logout and login as the new user named BZ6012.
4. Insert the BZ6012 Application software CD-ROM disk into the
CD-ROM drive and wait for the auto-start of the BZ6012
installation package. In case that auto-start is disabled for your
CD drive, you will manually need to start the BZ6012
installation package found on the software CD-ROM disk.
5. After a while the welcoming window appears. Select ‘Next’ to
continue installation.
