1. INTRODUCTION, CAUTIONS, AND SPECIFICATIONS
The Teledyne API Opti-Sense 5200 is a state-of-the-art Non Dispersive InfraRed (NDIR)-
based sensor that is designed to monitor SIF4 (Silicon Tetrafluoride) concentration,
typically at sub-atmospheric pressure.
The OPTI-Sense unit is designed to be mounted vertically. Horizontal mounting is also
acceptable. Two KF16 fittings are provided to effectuate the pneumatic connections.
Electrical connections are on the rear panel of the instrument. Power and control signals
are applied through the DB15 connector. The RS-232 connector should be connected to a
laptop computer if the graphical user interface (GUI) will be used.
The OPTI-Sense 5200 can be used qualitatively three minutes after power up. For accurate
quantitative results, allow the unit to warm up for thirty minutes. The OPTI-Sense should
be allowed to warm up overnight for applications in which low drift is critical. Purge and
zero the instrument after the warm-up period is completed.
CAUTIONS
Please review these instructions carefully to ensure proper installation, operation and care
of the system to minimize the risk of personal injury or product damage due to improper
handling.
HAZARD: Toxic, Corrosive Gas
•SIF4 (Silicon Tetrafluoride) is a toxic, corrosive, nonflammable
gas packaged at pressure up to 1000 psig. It has a sharp
suffocating odor. The gas is colorless but fumes white in moist
air. Hydrolyzes to very corrosive hydrofluoric acid on contact
with moisture. Can cause severe chemical burns if inhaled or
upon skin contact. When entering released area, wear self-
contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Fully protective suits
are required in large releases.
•Install appropriate safety monitoring equipment wherever SIF4
is used.
•Materials in contact with SIF4 should be suitable for such use.
316L Stainless, Barium Fluoride (BaF2), Teflon™, Chemraz™
are recommended.
WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard
When performing any maintenance to the unit, make sure all DC
power is disconnected from the unit
CAUTION: Risk of Damage to Instrument
Use only TAPI-recommended spare parts. Substitution parts could
result in damage to the equipment, may create hazardous
conditions, and will void the warranty.

2. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
ATTENTION
Ensure adequate space to access connectors and to
remove cover when necessary for servicing.
Ensure adequate clearance to allow free air flow for
cooling, and to avoid high heat-generating equipment.
Sensor dimensions are shown in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1. Mechanical Dimensions

10 Teledyne API OPTI-Sense 5200 094900000B DCN8470
The OPTI-Sense unit is designed to be mounted vertically. Figure 2-2 below shows the
front view of the OPTI-Sense unit, with KF16 inlet connector on the upper right and outlet
connector on the lower left. Horizontal mounting is also acceptable.
Figure 2-2. Inlet (right) and Outlet (left) Connectors
The flow of gas through the unit should be interrupted when there is a possibility of
particulate matter soiling the windows or lodging onto the cell surfaces. Particulate matter
or films deposited onto the cell surfaces will render the measurement inaccurate and the
unit inoperable.
It is strongly recommended that the OPTI-sense unit be periodically purged and zeroed
using reference gas (see Section 4).

3. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Refer to Figure 2-2 for this section. The status light is a steady green when instrument
power is on. DB9 connector is for RS-232 communications and the DB15 connector is for
the input/outputs (I/O).
Opti-Sense is marked with the appropriate power rating required for the unit to work and
function as designed. Note the supply voltage and current, which are shown on the label.
RS-232 CONNECTOR
If the OPTI-Sense Graphical User Interface (GUI) software is used, the RS-232 output
should be connected to the COM1 port of the computer running the GUI software.

FAULT DO SPECIFICATIONS
The Fault DO is configured normally low; the output is high when an error has been
detected.
For most error conditions, the Fault DO will continue to indicate a fault until the unit is
successfully re-zeroed or rebooted. However, some errors are inherently intermittent in
nature, and are cleared automatically when they no longer affect instrument data. For
example, the three minute instrument warm-up period is indicated as an error to allow
detection of accidental power disruption; the Fault DO will indicate no fault when the
warm-up period is over.
•Operating Voltage (Power, pin 8): 24VDC ± 10%
•Output circuit:
oOutput HIGH Voltage: 24 VDC ± 10%, 203 Ωoutput resistance.
oOutput LOW Voltage: 4.9 ± 0.1 VDC, 203 Ωoutput resistance.
OVER-VOLTAGE PROTECTION
Maximum Ratings For DB15 Input Lines
•Forward voltage: 30V
•Reverse voltage: 50V
DB15 output lines are short-circuit protected.

4. SYSTEM OPERATION
The unit is designed to be left powered on at all times. Refer to the zeroing instructions
presented next in Section 4.1.
ZEROING THE OPTI-SENSE
The unit should be fully warmed up and purged of SiF4 before zeroing. Nitrogen, Argon,
Oxygen or vacuum purge are acceptable. Note that the unit will not zero during the three-
minute warm-up time and will report an error if a zeroing request is received during the
warm-up period. (This error can be cleared by zeroing the unit once the warm-up period
is over.) The zero signal command is configured active low; the line must be held low for
at least 200 ms.
•Operating Voltage (HIGH): 24VDC ± 10%
•Operating Voltage (LOW): 0VDC Nominal, 4VDC Max.
Zeroing will take approximately five seconds during normal operation.
Zeroing the OPTI-sense unit is essential to establish a stable baseline reading. TAPI
recommends zeroing the unit as often as possible. In applications were baseline drift is
critical, zeroing before every measurement cycle might be required.
Internal volume of the unit is approximately 40 cc, a minimum of 10 volumes exchanges
is recommended before zeroing the OPTI-sense. Please note that internal volume of tubing
connected to the unit should be considered when calculating purge time and flow rate.
Note that the OPTI-Sense has analog output range 1-10 volt. After the sensor is zeroed,
the analog output will read one volt.

5. INSTRUMENT ERROR CODES
Table 5-1 shows the instrument error codes, their causes, and corrective action.
Table 5-1. Instrument Error Codes
Error
Code
Cause Corrective Action
2
Too much light - out of design range. The
instrument may have been zeroed while
SiF4 was present.
Purge and zero the instrument.
3 No light detected.
Purge and zero the instrument. If error persists after
zeroing:
•Do not open the unit without prior permission
from TAPI.
•Contact TAPI immediately for service
instructions. It may be possible to repair your
unit in situ.
•If you do remove the unit, check the KF16
ports for powder contamination. Powder
contamination indicates presence of particulate
matter or a deposited film. Make sure that
provisions are in place to prevent particulate
matter or film deposition onto the surfaces of
the absorption cell.
4
Too much light - signal cannot be
measured. The instrument may have been
zeroed while SiF4 was present.
Purge and zero the instrument.
5 Instrument warming up.
Will clear automatically three minutes after the
instrument boots up.
6
A zeroing request was invalid because the
instrument was warming up. The instrument
did not honor the zeroing request.
Wait for the three minute warm-up period to complete,
then re-zero the instrument.
7
Insufficient light.
Same as for Error Code 3.
8 Timing error.
Purge and zero the instrument. Contact TAPI if the
problem occurs repeatedly.
9 Missed reading.
Purge and zero the instrument. Contact TAPI if the
problem occurs repeatedly.
