8.3.10 CO2 Analyzer
ANALYSIS GRAPH SCALE 10000ppm
ANALYSIS GRAPH SCALE determines the scale of the y-axis
“CO
2
analyzer’s ppm-CO
2
readings” on the Analysis Graph
Screen (see Section 2.1.4 Analysis Graph Screen for
details). This function allows the system to display CO
2
data
peaks in optimal resolution on the LCD screen.
The ANALYSIS GRAPH SCALE is independent of the CO2
ANALYZER RANGE described below. Note that, in certain
circumstances, when the displayed CO
2
peaks on screen
exceeds the scale of the graph, the CO
2
analyzer keeps
measuring and integrating the CO
2
readings to obtain the TOC
result, without losing any CO
2
data.
INTERFACE (RS232 by default) defines whether the
communication between the CO
2
Analyzer and the BioTector is
by analog (4-20mA) or digital (RS232) signals.
BAUDRATE (9600bps by default) specifies the data
communication signaling speed of CO
2
Analyzer when the
INTERFACE is programmed as RS232 above.
CO2 ANALYZER RANGE 15000ppm
CO2 ANALYZER RANGE (15000ppm by default) defines the full
scale range of the CO
2
analyzer installed inside the BioTector.
When RS232 INTERFACE is used, CO2 ANALYZER RANGE
only displays the range of the specific CO
2
analyzer installed into
the BioTector.
When 4-20mA INTERFACE is used, CO2 ANALYZER RANGE
defines the full scale of the 4-20mA analog input signal coming
from the CO
2
analyzer.
The CO2 ANALYZER CALIBRATION menu allows the user to
change the CO
2
analyzer range and the CO
2
analyzer zero and
span parameters when necessary.
If the INTERFACE is RS232, the calibration range of the CO
2
analyzer can be changed using the CO2 ANALYZER
CALIBRATION menu directly.
If the INTERFACE is 4-20mA, and if it is absolutely necessary to
change the CO
2
analyzer range, please contact manufacturer or
distributor for details of the CO
2
analyzer calibration procedures.
