TIA's customers and partners working to validate our hardware for
specific applications, where the application engineering and
development work is undertaken at customer locations, may use this
document as a guide. This document is a suggested procedure only and
is based on an understanding of the hardware operational requirements,
not detailed knowledge of the specific application parameters and
variables. These suggested experiments are the first sequence only,
additional experiments will probably be required to fully characterize
the process fluorescence.
A-1.1 Series 1 - Initializing the Unit and
Determination of the Probe/Analyzer Signal
Level
The following initialization sequence assumes that application
engineering is being performed in a laboratory setting. The hardware
installation is assumed to be minimal (unit is placed on a bench).
1)
Mount the fluorescence probe on a lab stand. The probe
comes from TIA with a black PVC cap over the sensing tip.
Leave this cap in place. Initialization of the unit will occur
with the cap in place. The initialization sequence below will
result in determination of the probe/analyzer residual
fluorescence level.
2)
Connect the electrical, 4-20 mA output and fiber optic
cables as described in Section 4.
3)
Power-up the Fluorometer.
4)
Allow the system to operate a minimum of one hour before
completing the rest of the initialization instructions.
5)
After lamp warm-up and stabilization, the REF DET LED
should have a steady green output. The MSR DET LED
should have either a solid green or flashing green output.
