          NOZZLE/PUMP TEST MODE 
 

NOZZLE:

Flow (STD):  16.7 LPM   PUMP:  ON 

 

 
MOVE NOZZLE   PUMP ON   PUMP OFF   EXIT 
 

 

The PUMP Test screen 

 

NOZZLE: 

Nozzle status. UP ( ) or DOWN ( ). 

 
PUMP: 

Pump status. ON or OFF. 

 
Flow (STD): 

The air flow rate, displayed in EPA Standard liters/minute. 

 
MOVE NOZZLE:  This soft-key will move the nozzle up or down. The test allows for checking proper nozzle 

movement. Total elapsed time is about 5 seconds. If the pump is ON this operation is disabled. 

 
PUMP ON: 

This soft-key will turn ON the vacuum pump. The nozzle will automatically be lowered if necessary. 

 
PUMP OFF: 

This soft-key will turn the pump OFF.

TAPE Test Menu 

The TEST > TAPE menu allows the user to manually move the filter tape forwards or backwards in increments of 
12.5mm “windows”. This is useful to test the tape transport mechanism or to move fresh spots of tape for other tests, 
such as flow or count tests. The nozzle will be automatically raised if necessary, and the tape will take a couple of 
seconds to move each window. 

 

X: 

This is the last number of windows moved. This number will be negative if the last move was 
backwards. 

 
FEED: 

This is the number of windows you want to move. Use the arrow up/down keys to select up to 10 
windows at a time. 

 
FWD: 

This soft-key will move the filter tape forward amount of the FEED value. 

 
BKWD: 

This soft-key will move the filter tape backward amount of the FEED value. 

 

7.12 

DAC Test Menu – Analog Output Test 

The TEST > DAC screen is used to test the function of the analog concentration output voltage and the DAC (digital-to-
analog-converter) electronics. Use the up/down arrow keys to set the voltage anywhere from 0.000 to 1.000 volts in 
0.100 increments. Measure the VOLT OUT +/- terminals on the back of the APDA-371 with a high quality voltmeter and 
verify that the actual voltage matches the APDA display value within ±0.001 volts at each point. Then attach the 
voltmeter to the input of your datalogger and repeat the test to verify that the correct voltages get to the input. If the 
analog output does not match the value on the TEST > DAC screen, contact the Service department for instructions. 
Note: 1 millivolt = 1 microgram of concentration in most applications. The DAC output cannot go negative. 
 

7.13 

CALIBRATE Test Menu 

The  TEST  >  CALIBRATE  screen  is  used  to  perform  tests  of  the  reference  membrane  span  check  which  occurs 
automatically every sample cycle. This test can be run if the APDA-371 has been logging D errors. Each APDA-371 has 
an individually weighed membrane, and this mass (m) is measured and displayed during this test. Compare the value 
from  this  test  with  the  ABS  value  on  the  calibration  sheet  for  your  unit.  The  values  must  match  within  5%.  If  not,  the 
most common cause is a  dirty membrane (dust or lubricant  on the foil). The membrane can be carefully  cleaned  with
