 Calculation operation
The following describes the average calculation operations.
The average calculation starts and ends with reference to the internal clock.

 When AIC or maintenance is in progress

When AIC or maintenance is in progress, it is deemed that the measurement value
(momentary value) just before the start of AIC or maintenance continues. In this case, a
warning of AIC in progress or maintenance in progress is displayed on the obtained aver-
age value data.

 When the power is shut down or when the internal clock is advanced
The momentary value data is regarded as missing data if acquired during the shutdown
period or in the period of time created by advancing the internal clock. No average values
are recorded when all momentary value data during momentary value integration is miss-
ing. In addition, no data is recorded if the power is shut down before the displayed data is
saved or if the power is shutdown at the time displayed on the average, integration, or roll-
ing average screen.

 When the internal clock is set back

The operation depends on the corrected time. When the corrected time is the same as the
start time of the ongoing integration or later, the integration continues. When the corrected
time is earlier than the start time of the ongoing integration, the integration results up to
current time are discarded, and the new integration starts.

 When the average is recorded although average data with the same time stamp exists
The existing average is overwritten with the new average (the existing average is
deleted).

6.2.2 Integration calculation and display

The data obtained by dividing measured values (momentary values) acquired every second
by 3600 is integrated for the calculation time (1 hour), and the integration is displayed.
Up to 100 pieces of data can be displayed on the screen.
Note If the recorded number of data exceeds the maximum number of data, the data is
deleted automatically in the order from the oldest to the latest.

6.2 [Data/History]

 Calculation operation
The following describes the integration calculation operations.
For the standard specification, the integration are started and ended by sending the ON signal
to the integration reset input on the signal connection terminal block, or by receiving the inte-
gration reset command through communication. These signal input and command reception
are called external integration reset.
When the external integration reset is activated, the integration is calculated automatically as
described below.
The internal clock is adjusted to the nearest integration reset time from the current time.
For the standard specification, the default setting of the integration reset time is 00 min every
hour. It can also be set to 30 min every hour.
When the corrected time is the same as the scheduled reset time of the ongoing integration,
the integration results up to that time are recorded, and the output of the integration is reset to
zero (integration reset).
Tip The single analyzer specifications (optional) and telemeter specifications adopt the
internal reset specification. The internal reset specification records the integration
results whenever the internal clock time reaches the integration ending time, and at
the same time resets the integration output to zero (integration reset)

 When the external integration reset is not performed even if the integration reset waiting
time (standard specification: 3 minutes, special specification: 6 minutes) has elapsed
since the ending time of the ongoing integration
The integration results up to that time are recorded, and at the same time the integration
output is reset to zero (integration reset). The internal clock is not corrected.

 When AIC or maintenance is in progress

When AIC or maintenance is in progress, it is deemed that the measurement value
(momentary value) just before the start of AIC or maintenance continues. In this case, a
warning of AIC in progress or maintenance in progress is displayed on the acquired inte-
gration data.

 When the power is shut down or when the internal clock is advanced
The momentary value data is regarded as missing data if acquired during the shutdown
period or in the period of time created by advancing the internal clock. No integration is
recorded when all momentary value data during integration is missing.
As a result of advancement of the internal clock, when the corrected time is later than the
ending time of the ongoing integration + integration reset waiting time (standard specifica-
tion: 3 minutes, special specification: 6 minutes), the integration results at that point are
recorded, and the output of the integration is reset to zero (integration reset).

 When the internal clock is set back

The operation depends on the corrected time.
When the corrected time is the same as the start time of the ongoing integration or later,
the integration continues.
When the corrected time is earlier than the start time of the ongoing integration, the inte-
gration results up to current time are discarded, and the new integration starts.

 When the integration is recorded although integration data with the same time stamp
exists
The existing integration is overwritten with the new integration.

 When the integration is recorded although integration data with future time stamp exists
The data with future time stamp is deleted.

42
 6 Other functions
6.2 [Data/History]

 When a telemeter failure warning is issued

Whenever the internal clock time reaches the integration ending time without waiting for
the external reset, the integration results are recorded, and at the same time the integra-
tion output is reset to zero (integration reset)
However, when a telemeter failure warning is issued during integration reset waiting time
(standard specification: 3 minutes, special specification: 6 minutes) after the scheduled
integration ending time, the integration results are recorded at the time of warning, and at
the same time the output of the integration is reset to zero (integration reset).

6.2.3 Rolling average value calculation and display

The rolling average of the last one hour is displayed sequentially with the passage of time.
(The average time can be set arbitrarily (refer to "6.7.8 Setting the average time" (page 86)).)

 Automatic correction of start time

When the AIC sequence starts while "Start setting: Internal" is set, the scheduled start time of
the next AIC sequence is calculated with the equation below.
Scheduled start time of the next AIC (calculated value)  The current start time setting value
 Interval setting value

If the calculated time is within the start time setting range, the setting value for the start time is
changed to the calculated time.
If the calculated time is out of the start time setting range, the setting value for the start time is
changed to the time that begins the start time range or the time that ends the start time range,
whichever is farther from the calculated time.

Fig. 62 Automatic correction of start time according to the start time range setting

The following is an example of the automatic correction of the start time in the AIC settings.
Start time: 20:30
Start time range: 5:00 to 23:00
Interval: 1 day and 1 hour (25 hours)

Since the start time is shifted by 1 hour per day, the start time is going to be out of the start
time range with the elapse of days. This example shows that the start time is changed to the
time (5:00) that begins the previous start time range since the calculated start time (23:30) for
the 4th cycle is out of the start time range.

Note The start time is set with reference to the internal clock.
Once the AIC sequence starts, the setting value for the start time is changed to
scheduled time of the next AIC (the current start time setting value  interval setting
value). When this time is out of the start time setting range, it is corrected automati-
cally within the range.
When the start time is set to the time earlier than the current time, the start time is
recalculated and changed by adding the value set for interval to the current start time
setting value repeatedly until the recalculated start time becomes later than the cur-
rent time. When this time is out of the start time setting range, it is corrected auto-
matically within the range.
When the start time is set to the time earlier than the current time by changing the
internal clock setting, the start time setting value is recalculated and changed by
adding the value set for interval to the current start time setting value repeatedly until

7.8 Replacing the HC cutter, air filter, and scrubber

7.8 Replacing the HC cutter, air filter, and scrubber

The HC cutter is used to remove the aromatic hydrocarbon contained in the sample gas that
affects measurement values. Using the product for long periods degrades the performance
and makes the interference effect greater.Then, the measurement values may be affected. It
is recommended to replace the HC cutter periodically.
The air filter is used to purify and protect the purge gas for the HC cutter. Using the product for
long periods reduces the suction power of the pump and the removal efficiency of the HC cut-
ter due to clogging of the filter element, and so on. Then the measurement values may be
affected. It is recommended to replace the air filter periodically.
The scrubber is used to purify the purge air for the HC cutter. Using the product for long peri-
ods causes dust and other substances to accumulate in the scrubber, degrades the perfor-
mance of the HC cutter. Then the measurement values may be affected. It is recommended to
replace the scrubber periodically.

 Recommended frequency of replacement

Approximately every year is recommended depending on the sample gas condition.

 Procedure

DANGER
High voltage
The lamp lighting circuit is high in voltage. Be careful when han-
dling the lamp. Otherwise, an electric shock or electrocution
may occur.

WARNING
Do not look at the lit lamp directly.
Otherwise, an eye damage may occur.
Using the product for a long period of time reduces the brightness of the xenon lamp (light
source), causing larger reading noise. Then, the measured values may be affected. It is rec-
ommended to replace the xenon lamp periodically.
Note After replacing the xenon lamp, optical adjustment is not required. However, if parts
other than those described in the following procedure are removed, the optical axis
may be misaligned. Do not remove parts other than those described in the following
procedure. If the optical axis is misaligned for some reason, the amount of light
received by the detector may be reduced, noise may increase, or the drift perfor-
mance may be affected. When the optical adjustment is necessary, contact
HORIBA.

 Recommended frequency of replacement

Approximately every year is recommended depending on the sample gas condition.

2. Remove the two screws fixing the sheet metal to which the HC cut-
ter, air filter, and scrubber are attached, and remove the sheet
metal from the device.
Tip Replacing the air filter, HC cutter, and scrubber at the same time improves the work
efficiency since their replacement frequencies are the same.

3. Remove the claw of the wire saddle, remove the two screws fixing
the light source cover, and remove the light source cover.

6. Attach the xenon lamp in the reverse procedure.

Note Do not touch the new xenon lamp with a bare hand when attaching it. Dirt such as
sebum attached on the surface of the xenon lamp devitrifies the surface due to
transformation by ultraviolet rays, decreasing the brightness.Then,reading noise
may increase and affect measurement values.
Insert the xenon lamp securely into the deepest part of the socket. Insufficient inser-
tion may cause misalignment of the optical axis.
Attach the lamp socket unit with the label facing upward.

11.1 Measurement principle

11.1 Measurement principle

The ultraviolet fluorescence method utilizes a phenomenon that when a subject is irradiated
with ultraviolet light, the emitted light indicates a different wavelength.
When a sample is irradiated with ultraviolet light (190 nm to 230 nm), SO2 (SO2*) that is ener-
gized by absorption of the irradiated light emits light of a different wavelength (peak 320 nm,
240 nm to 420 nm) from that of the irradiated light. The former, the irradiated light is referred to
as excitation light, and the later, the emitted light is referred to as fluorescence. Measuring this
light intensity obtains the sample concentration.
When excitation light is irradiated and absorbed:
SO2 + hν1 → SO2*...[I]
I = I0e-aLx...(1)
Note I: Intensity of excitation light that have passed through the cell
I 0: Intensity of the excitation light
a: Absorption coefficient for the excitation light
L: Cell length
x: Sulfur dioxide concentration
Therefore, the amount of excitation light absorbed within the cell, I, is:
I = I0 = I = I0 (1  e-aLx)...(2)
SO2* generated in process [I] loses energy in the following three processes. These processes
actually do not occur in sequence, but simultaneously.
 Fluorescence:
In fluorescence process, excitation energy is emitted as fluorescence (h)
kf
SO2* SO2 + hν2...[II]

 Dissociation:
In dissociation process, excitation energy is lost as dissociation energy
kd
SO2* SO + O...[III]

 Quenching:
In quenching process, excitation energy is lost by collision with surrounding molecules
(M)
kq
SO2* + M SO2 + M...[IV]

Therefore, fluorescence intensity (If) is shown below.

kf
If ＝ ・I
kf + kd + kq [M]
When SO2 is in low concentration, formula (2) is close to the following.
I = I0*aLx
Therefore, fluorescence intensity (If) is shown below.
kf
If ＝ I0 • • aLx ...(3)
kf + kd + kq [M]

And, the fluorescence intensity is proportional to SO2 concentration (x).
