Instruction Manual Page 15 of 96
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 Ethanol,
CO
2
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:
