SAFETY MESSAGES
Your safety and the safety of others is very important. We have provided many important safety
messages in this manual. Please read these messages carefully.
A safety message alerts you to potential hazards that could hurt you or others. Each safety
message is associated with a safety alert symbol. These symbols are found in the manual and
inside the instrument. The definition of these symbols is described below:
GENERAL WARNING/CAUTION: Refer to the instructions for details on the
specific danger.
CAUTION: Hot Surface Warning
CAUTION: Electrical Shock Hazard
Technician Symbol: All operations marked with this symbol are to be performed
by qualified maintenance personnel only.
CAUTION
The analyzer should only be used for the purpose
and in the manner described in this manual.
If you use the analyzer in a manner other than that for which
it was intended, unpredictable behavior could ensue with
possible hazardous consequences.

1.3 Principle Of Operation
M401 Ozone calibrator consist of two major parts; the ozone generating device and the
photometer. Ozone generating device itself also consist of a pump, an air scrubber to self-
generate zero air, a pressure regulator to control flow rate, an ozone generator using UV lamp,
and a manifold. The pressure regulator provides very stable flow of zero air through the O3
generator, while the light intensity of the UV lamp is controlled to generate accurate and stable
ozone output.
The photometer is used as part of a feedback lamp control to assure stable O3output even during
changing conditions. The photometer is compensated for both pressure and temperature
variations. This true photometer operation along with self-generated zero air results in a
completely self-contained O3generating system.
The detection of ozone molecules of the photometer is based on absorption of 254 nm UV light
due to an internal electronic resonance of the O3molecule. The Model 401 Photometer uses a
mercury lamp constructed so that a large majority of the light emitted is at the 254nm
wavelength. Light from the lamp shines down a hollow glass tube that is alternately filled with
sample gas, then filled with zero air. The ratio of the intensity of light passing through the zero
air to that of the sample forms a ratio I/Io. This ratio forms the basis for the calculation of the
ozone concentration.

NOTE
Model 401 Photometric Calibrator is designed to be a dedicated
calibrator. The M401 Photometer should not be used as a monitor.
The Beer-Lambert equation, shown below, calculates the concentration of ozone from the ratio
of light intensities.

Where:

I= Intensity of light through sample free of ozone
a= absorption coefficient
l= path length
C= concentration of ozone in ppm
T

P

nl= natural logarithm
As you can see the concentration of ozone depends on more than the intensity ratio. Temperature
and pressure influence the density of the sample. The density changes the number of ozone
molecules in the absorption tube which impacts the amount of light removed from the light
beam. These effects are addressed by directly measuring temperature and pressure and including
their actual values in the calculation. The absorption coefficient is a number that reflects the
inherent ability of ozone to absorb 254 nm light. Most current measurements place this value at
308 cm-1 atm-1 at STP. The value of this number reflects the fact that ozone is a very efficient
absorber of UV radiation which is why stratospheric ozone protects the life forms lower in the
atmosphere from the harmful effects from solar UV radiation. Lastly, the absorption pathlength
determines how many molecules are present in the column of gas in the absorption tube.
1-3

Teledyne API Model 401 O3Photometric Calibrator Instruction Manual, 01124, Rev. J1
The intensity of light is converted into a voltage by the detector/preamp module. The voltage is
converted into a number by a voltage-to-frequency (V/F) converter capable of 80,000 count
resolution. The digitized intensities, along with the other variables, are used by the CPU to
compute the concentration using the above formula.
Every 8 seconds the M401 Photometer completes a measurement cycle consisting of a 2 second
wait period for the sample tube to flush, followed by 2 seconds of measuring the average light
intensity to determine I. The sample valve is switched to admit scrubbed sample gas for 2
seconds followed by 2 seconds measuring the average light intensity to obtain Io. Measurement
of the Ioevery 8 seconds minimizes instrument drift due to changing intensity of the lamp due to
aging and dirt. The 120 sec filter provides 32 averages.
1.3.1 Interferent Rejection
It should be noted that the UV absorption method for detecting ozone is subject to interference
from a number of sources. The Model 401 has been successfully tested for its ability to reject
interference from sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, nitric oxide, water, and meta-xylene.
While the instrument rejected interference from the aromatic hydrocarbon meta-xylene, it should
be noted that there are a very large number of volatile aromatic hydrocarbons that could
potentially interfere with ozone detection. If the Model 401 is installed in an environment where
high aromatic hydrocarbon concentrations are suspected, specific tests should be conducted to
reveal the amount of interference these compounds may be causing.

suitable vent outside the analyzer area.
7. For internal pressurized zero air using an external dry air supply connect AIR IN port to a
clean, dry air supply (see Figure 1-6).
NOTE
For best O3generator stability and to avoid moisture condensation,
it is recommended that zero air be dried to approximately -20°C dew
point.
For external pressurized dry zero air using an external dry pressurized source (see Figure 1-
6) proceed as follows:
a. Remove cap plug from the tee of zero air scrubber assembly and connect external dry
zero air line instead (air pressure should be about 30-40 psi).
b. Install the cap plug to dry air inlet port.
c. Verify the power is off and unplug O3GENERATOR pump's power cable connector.
8. Connect a recording device to the terminal strip connections on the rear panel (see
Figure 1-2). See Table 9-4 for setting proper analog output voltage jumpers.
9. Connect the power cord to an appropriate power outlet (see the serial number tag for correct
voltage and frequency).
NOTE
Power plug must have ground lug.

10. Turn on the M401 by switching the switch on the lower right corner of the front panel (See
Figure 2-1). The front panel display should light with a sequence of messages,-API - M401 -
software version number, then a normal display as shown in Figure 2-2.
11. Allow about 60 minutes for the temperatures to come up to their respective setpoints then
press the leftmost 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 1-1. The values
observed should closely match the Table 1-1 values.
NOTE
Words in all caps are messages on the analyzer front panel.
12. Select the range the analyzer will be calibrated on.
a. From the MAIN menu press SETUP to enter the SETUP menu. (See Figure 2-2 for
appearance of front panel.)
b. Press MISC.
c. Press D/A.
d. Enter the PASSWORD (818).
e. Press RNGE (RANGE).
f. Enter the derived full scale range for analog outputs and press ENTR. (Example: if full
scale range is 500 ppb, then press corresponding digit's button until desired range is
selected and press ENTR.)
g. Press EXIT 3 times to return to the MAIN menu.
13. O3generator flow adjustment. The O3generator flow is controlled by a precision pressure
regulator and flow restrictor. Increasing upstream pressure of flow restrictor will increase
flowrate and vice versa. In order to increase pressure, adjust knob clockwise as needed while
monitoring the O3flow test measurement display. In general, the O3generator flow should be
at least 1 L/MIN in addition of total flow demands for the Model 401 (800 cc/min) and
remote analyzers.
NOTE
Adjustment of the O3generator flow is to be performed by qualified
maintenance personnel only.

14. Generate the Zero Air.
a. Press ZERO from the main menu and enter the password (512).
b. Press STBY to terminate or press O3GN to continue to generate O3span gas.
15. Generate the O3Span Gas.
a. Press O3GN from the main menu and enter the password (512).
b. Enter the O3concentration value desired (0.05 - 1 ppm range).
c. Press CONC in order to change O3gas concentration while generating specified O3gas.
d. Press STBY to terminate O3gas generation or press zero to continue to generate zero air.
