OPERATION

3.2.1 Regulating Sensor Pressure

The sensor pressure of the QMA401 must match the pressure stated on the calibration

certificate in order for the calibration to be valid.

To control the sensor pressure, a pressure regulator is required on the input of the

analyzer.

An integral pressure regulator (rated to 300barg input pressure) can be supplied as an

option at time of order. Otherwise, when choosing an external pressure regulator, select

one designed for use in high purity gas, with a stainless steel body and diaphragm to

minimize impact on sample response speed when measuring dry samples.

To set the input pressure:

Power the analyzer on and wait for the oven to heat up before proceeding.

Navigate to the Monitor Screen.

Sensor pressure

shows the actual

pressure seen by the cell.

Use the pressure regulator to adjust the

Sensor pressure

to match the

pressure shown on your calibration certificate.

NOTE: The pressure at the outlet should be atmospheric, unless

otherwise stated on the calibration certificate.

Familiarize yourself with the menu system of the analyzer, and setup the

parameters listed in the next section. Before a measurement is made,

ensure the correct carrier gas has been selected in the menu system.
