Teledyne API Model 200A NOXAnalyzer Instruction Manual, 02246, Rev. F1
1 HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
The Model 200A has been designed to provide serviceability, reliability and ease of operation.
The M200A's microprocessor continually checks operating parameters such as temperatue, flow,
and critical voltages. The instruments modular design uses captive screws to facilitate repair and
ease of access. If you encounter any difficulty refer to Section 9 General Troubleshooting Hints.
We recognize that the need for information in this manual changes as time passes. When the
instrument first arrives, it is necessary to get it up and running quickly and verify its correct
operation. As time passes, more detailed information is often required on special configurations,
calibration alternatives and other operational details. Finally there is the need for periodic
maintenance and to quickly troubleshoot problems to assure maximum reliability and data
integrity.
To address these needs, we have created three indexes to the information inside. They are:
Table of Contents:
Outlines the contents of the manual in the order the information is presented. This is a good
overview of the topics covered in the manual. There is also a list of Tables and a list of Figures.
Index to M200A Front Panel Menus:
The Menu Index (Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2, Table 5-1 and Table 5-2) briefly describes the front
panel menus and refers you to other sections of the manual that have a detailed explanation of
each menu selection.
Troubleshooting Section 9:
The Troubleshooting Section, outlined in the Table of Contents, allows you to diagnose and
repair the instrument based on variables in the TEST menu, the results of DIAGNOSTIC tests,
and performance faults such as excessive noise or drift. The troubleshooting section also
explains the operation, adjustment, diagnosis and testing of each instrument subsystem.
If you are unpacking the instrument for the first time, please refer to Getting Started in
Section 2.

2 GETTING STARTED
2.1 Unpacking
1. Verify that there is no apparent shipping damage. If damage has occurred please advise
shipper first, then Teledyne API.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury, always use two persons to
lift and carry the Model 200A.
2. Before operation, it is necessary to remove the shipping hold-down screws. Remove the
instrument cover, then refer to Figure 2-1 for screw location.
3. Also check for internal shipping damage, and generally inspect the interior of the
instrument to make sure all circuit boards and other components are in good shape and all
boards are seated properly.
4. Please check the voltage and frequency label on the rear panel of the instrument for
compatability with the local power before plugging in the M200A.
2.2 Electrical and Pneumatic Connections
1. Refer to Figure 2-2 to locate the rear panel electrical and pneumatic connections.
2. Attach the pump to the Exhaust Out port on the rear panel as shown in Figure 2-3.
3. If you are connecting to a calibrator, attach a vented sample inlet line to the sample inlet
port. The pressure of the sample gas at the inlet port should be at ambient pressure. The
exhaust from the pump should be vented to atmospheric pressure. See Figure 2-3 for inlet
and exhaust line venting recommendations during calibration.
4. If desired, attach the analog output connections to a strip chart recorder and/or
datalogger. Refer to Figure 9-4 for the jumper settings for the desired analog output voltage
range. Factory default setting is 0-5 VDC.
5. Connect the power cord to the correct voltage line, then turn to Section 2.3 Initial
Operation.

WARNING
Analyzer Exhaust – O3Scrubber – Pump
Pack Danger – Analyzer exhaust contains ozone.
Ozone scrubber must always be present
between analyzer exhaust and pump.
Vent pump exhaust to well ventilated area at atmosphere
pressure FIRE or EXPLOSION HAZARD.
Do not use charcoal treated with halogen compounds –
use only Teledyne API P/N 00596 charcoal.
Wait at least 5 minutes after turning off pump
before removing ozone scrubber WARNING.
WARNING
Lethal voltages present inside case.
Do not operate with cover off during normal operation.
Before operation check for correct input
voltage and frequency.
Do not operate without proper chassis grounding.
Do not defeat the ground wire on power plug.
Turn off analyzer power before disconnecting
electrical subassemblies.

2.3 Initial Operation
1. Turn on the instrument power.
2. The display should immediately light, displaying the instrument type (M200A) and the
computer's memory configuration. If you are unfamiliar with the M200A, we recommend
that you read the overview Section 4 before proceeding. A diagram of the software menu
trees is in Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2.
3. The M200A requires about 30 minutes for all internal components to come up to
temperature. During this time the ozone generator power is OFF until the membrane dryer
has time to purge itself, therefore there will be no response from the instrument, even if span
gas is coming in the sample port. During this time temperatures and other conditions are out
of specification. Because many warning conditions could be displayed warning conditions
are suppressed for 30 minutes after power up. After 30 minutes, warning messages will be
displayed until the respective warning conditions are within specifications. Use the CLR key
on the front panel to clear warning messages.
4. While waiting for instrument temperatures to come up, you can check for correct
operation by using some of the M200A's diagnostic and test features.
5. Examine the TEST functions by comparing the values listed in Table 2-1 to those in the
display. Remember that as the instrument warms up the values may not have reached their
final values yet. If you would like to know more about the meaning and utility of each TEST
function, refer to Table 9-1. Also, now is a good time to verify that the instrument was
shipped with the options you ordered. Table 2-1 includes a list of options. Section 6 covers
setting up the options.
6. Electric Test and Optic Test both generate simulated signals in the M200A.
A. Electric Test tests the electronics of the PMT signal path. To operate Electric Test from
the front panel press SETUP-MORE-DIAG, then scroll to ELECTRICAL TEST and press
ENTR to turn on the electric test. When ELEC test is operating, scroll the TEST function
to PMT and compare instrument response to the values indicated in Table 2-1 . To turn off
this test press EXIT. For more information on the circuitry being tested refer to the
Troubleshooting Section 9.1.3.2.
B. Optic Test is an "end to end" test of the analyzer HVPS/PMT/ electronics/computer. It
simulates a signal by turning on a LED in the Sensor Module. To operate Optic Test from
the front panel press SETUP-MORE-DIAG, then scroll to OPTIC test and press ENTR to
turn on the optic test. Scroll the TEST function PMT and compare instrument response to
the values indicated in Table 2-1. To turn off this test press EXIT. To return to the
SAMPLE mode press EXIT until SAMPLE is displayed in the upper left display. For
more information about OT operation, see Section 9.1.3.3.

7. When the instrument is warmed up, re-check the TEST functions against Table 2-1. All
of the readings should compare closely with those in the Table. If they do not, see Section
9.1.1. The next task is to calibrate the analyzer. There are several ways to do a calibration,
they are summarized in Table 7-1. For a preliminary checkout we recommend calibration
with zero air and span gas coming in through the sample port. The procedure is:
Step 1 - Enter the expected NOxand NO span gas concentrations:
Step Number Action Comment
1. Press
CAL-CONC-NOx This key sequence causes the M200A to prompt for the expected NOx concentration. Enter the NOx span
concentration value by pressing the key under each digit until
the expected value is set.
2. Press ENTR ENTR stores the expected NOx span value. This value will be
used in the internal formulas to compute subsequent NOx
concentration values.
3. Press
CAL-CONC-NO In the same CAL-CONC sub menu press the NO button and enter the expected NO span value, then ENTR. As before this
value will be used in the internal formulas to compute the
subsequent NO concentration values.
4. Press EXIT-EXIT Returns instrument to SAMPLE mode.
5. Press
SETUP-RNGE-
MODE-SING-ENTR
If necessary you may want to change ranges. Normally the
instrument is shipped in single range mode set at 500 ppb. We
recommend doing the initial checkout on the 500 ppb range.
6. Press
SETUP-RNGE-SET After SETUP-RNGE-SET, enter 500 and press ENTR. The instrument will now be in the 500 ppb range.
7. Press EXIT Returns instrument to SAMPLE mode.

Step 2 - Calibrate the instrument:
Zero/Span Calibration Procedure
Step Number Action Comment
1. Input Zero gas Allow Zero gas to enter the sample port on the rear of the
instrument.
2. Press CAL The M200A enters the calibrate mode from sample mode.
3. Wait 10 min Wait for reading to stabilize at the zero value. If you wait less
than 10 minutes the final zero value may drift.
4. Press ZERO The ZERO button will be displayed.
5. Press ENTR Pressing ENTR actually changes the calculation equations and
zeroes the instrument.
6. Input Span Gas Switch gas streams to span gas.
7. Wait 10 min Wait for reading to stabilize at the span value. If you wait less
than 10 minutes the final span value may drift.
8. Press SPAN The SPAN button should be displayed. If it is not, check the
Troubleshooting Section 9.2.8 for instructions on how to
proceed. In certain circumstances at low span gas
concentrations (<100ppb), both the ZERO and SPAN buttons
will appear.
9. Press ENTR Pressing ENTR actually changes the calculation equations so
that the concentration displayed is the same as the expected
span concentration you entered above, thus spanning the
instrument.
10. Press EXIT Pressing EXIT returns the instrument to SAMPLE mode.
