3.5.8 Voltages
Voltage from the PMT proportional to the detected signal from the
reaction cell. This voltage represents the actual measurement of
gas.
The voltage applied to the PMT (normally set to 700 volts ±15 V
for ambient applications).
+12 V (primary) power supply.
+5 V microprocessor power supply.
-10 V reading from the main controller board.
3.5.9 General Settings
Select the number of decimal places (0-5) used for the
concentration displayed on the front screen.
Sets the concentration units (ppm, ppb, ppt, mg/m
3
, μg/m
3
,
ng/m
3
).
This option only appears if concentration units are set to
gravimetric (mg/m
3
, μg/m
3
, ng/m
3
). You can select either 0°C,
20°C or 25°C. This sets the standard temperature used for
conversion from the measured volumetric values.
Select the units that temperature will be displayed in (Celsius,
Fahrenheit, or Kelvin).
Select the units that the pressure will be displayed in (torr, PSI,
mBar, ATM, kPa).
Displays the current date and allows users to edit if required.
Displays the current time and allows users to edit if required.
Select how long the instrument backlight will stay on for either
seconds (30), minutes (1, 2, 5, 10, 30), hours (1), or always
on/always off.
This field allows the user to display concentrations on the front
screen in two formats. The first is Inst. Only, which displays only
the instantaneous concentration reading. The second is Inst &
Avg, which displays both instantaneous and average concentration
on the front screen. The average is measured over the time period
set in Measurement Settings (refer to Section 3.5.10).
When enabled, the instrument will display the zero character with
a slash (ø) to differentiate it from a capital ‘O’.
