M300EU  
Addendum to M300EU Manual - P/N 04288  
INTRODUCTION  
1. INTRODUCTION  
This addendum is based on the M300E/EM Operators Manual (P/N 04288). It is intended as a supplement to  
the M300E/EM manual (P/N 04288) and provides an overview of the instrument operation and specific details  
regarding those areas where the M300EU is different in design or operating method from the M300E.  
In most ways the M300EU is identical to the M300E/EM in design and operation, therefore most of the basic set  
up information, operating instructions as well as calibration, maintenance, troubleshooting and repair methods  
are the same and can be found in the M300E/EM manual (P/N 04288).  
1.1. REFERENCE NUMBERING CONVENTION  
Unless otherwise specified, chapter, section, figure and table reference numbers referred to within this text are  
relative to this document.  
EXAMPLE: “Table 2-1” refers to the figure, within this document, labeled as 2-1.  
Additionally, in the electronic version(s) of this manual references internal to this document will be active  
links to that section, figure or table.  
References to chapters, sections, figures and tables in the original document will be labeled as such and will not  
be an active link.  
EXAMPLE: “Figure 6.1 of the M300E/EM Operators Manual (P/N 04288)”.  
1.2. M300EU OVERVIEW  
NOTE  
The information contained in this addendum is relevant to M300EU analyzers running: SOFTWARE  
REVISION K.6. Some or all of the information may not be applicable to earlier or later revisions of  
software.  
The software revision your analyzer is running is displayed in the upper left-hand corner of the display  
any time the instrument is in SETUP mode.  
The model 300EU is a close derivative of the M300E/EM CO Analyzer, however its higher sensitivity require  
some changes its design and operation.  
The primary differences between the M300EU and the M300E/EM analyzers are:  
INTERFERENT REJECTION: Periodically the sample gas stream is routed through an internal CO  
scrubber allowing the instrument to make a measurement of the sample gas completely free of CO; the  
measurement made during this auto-reference period (A-REF) is subtracted from the sample  
concentration measurement. This corrects for instrument drift, ambient temperature changes and  
changing CO2 levels in the sample gas.  
OPERATING METHOD: An additional operating mode is added allowing the user to manipulate several  
parameters associated with the A-REF measurement cycle.  
SAMPLE GAS CONDITIONING: A Nafion® drier is used to dry the sample and alleviate any effects from  
humidity changes in the sample gas.  
IR OPTICS: The objective and field mirrors on the optical bench are gold plated. This maximizes their  
reflectivity and increasing the amount of IR light reaching the detector and improving the optical bench’s  
signal-to-noise performance.  
PNEUMATIC OPERATION: The flow rate is higher. It has a 1.8 LPM nominal flow rate. The flow  
sensor is rated to 6 LPM.  
MECHANICAL DESIGN: The optical bench is placed in a temperature-controlled, convection-heated  
oven. This dramatically reduces instrument noise and temperature related drift.

3.1. UNPACKING THE M300EU  
Unpack the M300EU as per the directions in Section 3.1 of the M300E/EM manual (P/N 04288), with the  
exception that there are no shipping screws.  
3.2. M300EU ANALYZER LAYOUT  
The front panel of the M300EU is identical to that of the M300E/EM (see Figure 3-1 of the M300E/EM Operators  
Manual (P/N 04288). The Rear Panel is also very similar to that of the M300E/EM, the only difference being that  
the instrument’s particulate filter is mounted externally on the upper left side of the rear panel rather than  
internally as on the M300E/EM.  
On the other hand, the internal layout of the M300EU is quite different from the M300E/EM. Most of these  
differences are related to the need to create a thermally insulated, convection-heated oven in which the optical  
bench temperature is raised and maintained at a high and very stable temperature. Additionally there is a multi-  
tube, high flow Nafion® dryer that removes moisture from the sample gas.

Addendum to M300E/EM Manual P/N 04288  
The pneumatic flow of the M300EU is different from the M300E/EM in two ways:  
The addition of a high-flow multi-tube Nafion® dryer.  
An additional gas path that passes the sample gas though a CO scrubber used during the auto-  
reference cycle.

3.3.2. ANALOG OUTPUT Connections  
The analog outputs for the M300EU are different from those of the M300E/EM. Unlike the M300E/EM which can  
include options for measuring both O2 and CO, the M300EU is a single gas analyzer (CO) and therefore does  
not require the fully configurable version of the analog outputs. The following information replaces that found in  
Section 3.1.2.2 of the M300E/EM Operators Manual (P/N 04288).  
The M300EU is equipped with several analog output channels accessible through a connector on the back panel  
of the instrument.  
Channels A1 and A2 output a signal that is proportional to the CO concentration of the sample gas.  
The default analog output voltage setting of these channels is 0 to 5 VDC with a reporting range of 0  
to 500 ppb.  
An optional Current Loop output is available for each.  
The output labeled A4 is special. It can be set by the user to output any one a variety of diagnostic test  
functions.  
The default analog output voltage setting of these channels is also 0 to 5 VDC.  
See Section 6.2.2 for a list of available functions.  
There is NO optional Current Loop output is available for Channel A4.  
The following table lists the default settings for each of these channels.

3.4. INITIAL OPERATION OF THE M300EU  
NOTE  
The analyzer’s cover must be installed and securely fastened to ensure that the convection oven portion  
of the internal layout is capable of properly creating and controlling temperatures of the analyzer’s  
optical bench.  
3.4.1. STARTUP AND WARM UP OF THE M300EU  
The process for starting and warming up the M300EU is identical to that described in Sections 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 of  
the M300E/EM Operators Manual (P/N 04288) except:  
It is best to alloy the M300EU to operate uninterrupted for at least 2 hours to allow the temperature of all  
areas of the convection oven area to equalize.  
3.4.2. WARNING MESSAGES  
The information found in Section 3.2.3 of the M300E/EM Operators Manual (P/N 04288) is applicable to the

3.5. INITIAL CALIBRATION  
3.5.1. PRE-CALIBRATION STABILIZATION  
Before initially calibrating the M300EU it must be allowed to operate for a minimum of 12 hours.  
After this stabilization period is complete and just prior to performing the initial calibration, manually initiate an  
auto-reference measurement by following the instructions in Section 6.4.  
3.5.2. BASIC CO CALIBRATION SETUP  
NOTE  
The following procedure assumes that the instrument does not have any of the available Zero/Span  
Valve Options installed.  
To perform the following calibration you must have sources for zero air and span gas available for input into the  
sample port on the back of the analyzer. See Section 3.1.3 of the M300E/EM Operators Manual (P/N 04288) for  
instructions for connecting these gas sources.  
NOTE  
All Gas lines should be PTFE (Teflon), FEP, glass, stainless steel or brass  
3.5.2.1. Calibration Gases  
The information found in Section 3.1.3.2 of the M300E/EM Operators Manual (P/N 04288) is applicable to the  
M300EU with the following exception:  
ZERO AIR  
A gas that is similar in chemical composition to the earth’s atmosphere but scrubbed of all components  
that might affect the analyzers readings, in this case CO and water vapor.  
For the M300EU this gas MUST include at least 5% O2 (required for the proper operation of the  
analyzer’s CO scrubber).  
For analyzers without an IZS or external zero air scrubber option, a zero air generator such as the  
Teledyne Instruments Model 701 can be used.  
NOTE  
The zero air generator MUST be equipped with a hydrocarbon (HC) & CO scrubber option.  
For the Teledyne Instruments M701, this is Option 2B

M300EU  
Addendum to M300E/EM Manual P/N 04288  
3.5.3. BASIC CO CALIBRATION PROCEDURE  
The initial calibration should be carried out using the same reporting range set up as used during the analyzer’s  
factory calibration. This will allow you to compare your calibration results to the factory calibration as listed on  
the Final Test and Validation Data Sheet.  
Because the M300EU’s analog output setup differs from that of the M300E/EM and because the M300EU  
cannot have be modified to include the optional CO2 or O2 sensor packages, there are some minor differences in  
the initial Calibration procedure as described in Section 3.3 of the M300E/EM Operators Manual (P/N 04288).  
These are:  
STEP 1 - SET LIMITS:  
Reporting Range Limit should be set to 50.000 ppm.  
STEP 2 – DILUTION RATIO:  
Ignore this step  
STEP 3 – SET CO SPAN GAS CONCENTRATION  
The CO span gas concentration should be 40.000 ppm  
STEP 4 – ZERO/SPAN CALIBRATION  
Set the display to show the STABILITY test function.  
There is no GAS TO CAL step because the M300EU cannot be modified to include the O2 and CO2  
sensor packages.  
Ignore Sections 3.3.2 and 3.3.3 of the M300E/EM Operators Manual (P/N 04288) since they relate to sensor  
options not available on the M300EU.

M300EU OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
6. M300EU OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
6.1. SUMMARY OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OPERATING  
THE M300EU AND THE M300E/EM ANALYZERS.  
For the most part the operation instruction for the M300EU are the same as those described in Chapter 6 of the  
M300E/EM manual (P/N 04288) with the following exceptions:  
There are several additional Test functions related to the optical bench’s convection oven and the A-  
REF cycle (see Section6.2.2).  
There is and additional warning message related to the optical bench’s convection oven (see Section  
There is an additional operating mode, AREF, which can be used to force the instrument to make an  
auto-reference measurement and calculation.  
There are several additional iDAS trigger events and parameters (see Appendix A of this addendum).  
The reporting range setup and configuration of the A1 and A2 analog outputs is different (see Section  
The optional O2 and CO2 sensor packages available for the M300E/EM are not available ton the  
M300EU. Ignore all references to these in the M300E/EM Operators Manual (P/N 04288) when  
operating the M300EU.  
The set of available VARS is different (see Section 6.5.  
The set of submenus available under the DIAG menu is slightly different (see Section 6.6).  
The set of signals available under the DIAG ÆSIGNAL I/O submenu is different (see Appendix A of this  
addendum).  
Because of the difference in how the analog output ranges are implemented between the M300E/EM  
and the M300EU, there are some differences in DIAGÆ ANALOG I/O CONFIGURATION submenu  
(see Section 6.7.1).  
There are no alarm outputs available of the M300EU. Ignore Section 6.14 of the M300E/EM Operators  
Manual (P/N 04288).  
There is an additional STATUS OUTPUT related to the A-REF cycle (see Section 3.3.3).  
The default Hessen protocol gas ID and status flag list is different from that of the M300E/EM (see  
05514 Rev A1

M300EU OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
6.2.1. AUTO-REFERENCE MODE (AREF)  
One of the most significant differences between the M300E/EM and the M300EU analyzers is the auto-reference  
measurement feature. In this mode, the analyzer makes special measurements and calculations that are  
applied to the CO concentration calculation to dramatically improve interferent rejection as well as compensate t  
for changes in ambient temperature of the sample gas and age related drift of the optical bench components  
(see Section 10.1.1 for detailed information about how and when this A-REF feature occurs).  
When in A-REF mode, the analyzer:  
Freezes the CO concentration reading displayed on the front panel and output via the analog outputs or  
COM Ports.  
Displays the Message AUTO-REF in the mode filed of the analyzer’s front panel.  
Sets the A-REF status output (pin-7 on the status output connector) to high.

6.3. SETUP Æ RNGE: ANALOG OUTPUT REPORTING  
RANGE CONFIGURATION  
6.3.1. PHYSICAL RANGE VERSUS ANALOG OUTPUT REPORTING  
RANGES  
Functionally, the M300EU analyzer has one hardware “physical range” that is capable of determining CO  
concentrations between 0 ppb and 100,000 ppb. This architecture improves reliability and accuracy by avoiding  
the need for extra, switchable, gain-amplification circuitry. Once properly calibrated, the analyzer’s front panel  
will accurately report concentrations along the entire span of its physical range. M300EU analyzer’s physical  
range can create data resolution problems for most analog recording devices. For example, in an application  
where the expected concentration of CO is typically less than 1000 ppb, the full scale of expected values is only  
1% of the instrument’s 100,000 ppb physical range. Unmodified, the corresponding output signal would also be  
recorded across only 1% of the range of the recording device.  
The M300EU solves this problem by allowing the user to select a scaled reporting range for the analog outputs  
that only includes that portion of the physical range relevant to the specific application.  
NOTE  
Only the reporting range of the analog outputs is scaled.  
Both the iDAS values stored in the CPU’s memory and the concentration values reported on the front  
panel are unaffected by the settings chosen for the reporting range(s) of the instrument.  
6.3.2. ANALOG OUTPUT RANGES FOR CO CONCENTRATION  
The analyzer has two active analog output signals related to CO concentration that are accessible through a  
connector on the rear panel.

M300EU OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
M300EU  
Addendum to M300E/EM Manual P/N 04288  
The A1 and A2 channels output a signal that is proportional to the CO concentration of the sample gas. They  
can be configured:  
With independent reporting ranges reporting a “single” output signal (SNGL Mode, see Section 6.3.3) o  
Be to operate completely independently (DUAL mode, see Section 6.3.4). In this mode the user can set  
the measure span and signal scale of each output in a variety of combinations (but not the units of  
measure).  
EXAMPLE:  
A1 OUTPUT: Output Signal = 0-5 VDC representing 0-1000 ppb concentration values  
A2 OUTPUT: Output Signal = 0 – 10 VDC representing 0-500 ppb concentration values.  
Or to automatically switch between the two ranges dynamically as the concentration value fluctuates  
(AUTO modes, see Section 6.3.5).  
Both the A1 and A2 outputs can be:  
Configured full scale outputs of: 0 - 0.1 VDC; 0 - 1VDC; 0 - 5VDC or; 0 - 10VDC.  
Equipped with optional 0-20 mADC current loop drivers and configured for any current output within that  
range (e.g. 0-20, 2-20, 4-20, etc.).  
The user may also add a signal offset independently to each output (see Section 6.7.1) to match the electronic  
input requirements of the recorder or data logger to which the output is connected.  
DEFAULT SETTINGS  
The default setting for these the reporting ranges of the analog output channels A1 and A2 are:  
SNGL mode  
0 to 500.0 ppb  
0 to 5 VDC  
Reporting range span may be viewed via the front panel by viewing the RANGE test function. If the DUAL or  
AUTO modes are selected, the RANGE test function d will be replaced by two separate functions, RANGE1 &  
RANGE2. Reporting range status is also available as output via the external digital I/O status bits.  
NOTE  
Upper span limit setting for the individual range modes are shared. Resetting the span limit in one  
mode also resets the span limit for the corresponding range in the other modes as follows:

6.3.3. RNGE Æ MODE Æ SNGL: CONFIGURING THE M300EU ANALYZER  
FOR SINGLE RANGE MODE  
The single range mode sets a single maximum range for the both the A1 and A2 analog outputs. If the single  
range is selected both outputs are slaved together and will represent the same reporting range span (e.g. 0-50  
ppm), however their electronic signal levels may be configured for different ranges (e.g. 0-10 VDC vs. 0-.1 VDC.  
This Reporting range can be set to any value between 0.1 ppb and 10,000 ppb. To select SINGLE range mode  
and set the upper limit of the reporting range, press:  
NOTE  
This is the default reporting range mode for the analyzer.

6.3.4. RNGE Æ MODE Æ DUAL: CONFIGURING THE M300EU ANALYZER  
FOR DUAL RANGE MODE  
DUAL range mode allows the A1 and A2 outputs to be configured with separate reporting range spans as well  
as separate electronic signal levels. The analyzer software calls these two ranges LOW and HI.  
The LOW range setting corresponds with the analog output labeled A1 on the rear panel of the  
instrument and is viewable via the test function RANGE 1.  
The HIGH range setting corresponds with the A2 output and is viewable via the test function RANGE 2.  
While the software labels these two ranges as LOW and HI, when in DUAL mode their upper limits need  
not conform to that convention. The upper span limit of the LOW/RANGE1 can be a higher number than  
that of HI/RANGE 2

M300EU OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
6.3.5. RNGE Æ MODE Æ AUTO: CONFIGURING THE M300EU ANALYZER  
FOR AUTO RANGE MODE  
AUTO range mode gives the analyzer to ability to output data via a LOW range (displayed on the front panel as  
RANGE1) and HIGH range (displayed on the front panel as RANGE2) on a single analog output.  
When the AUTO range mode is selected, the analyzer automatically switches back and forth between user-  
selected LOW & HIGH ranges depending on the level of the CO concentration.  
The unit will move from LOW range to HIGH range when the CO concentration exceeds to 98% of the  
LOW range span limit.  
The unit will return from HIGH range back to LOW range once the CO concentration falls below 75% of  
the LOW range span limit.  
To set the ranges press following keystroke sequence:  
NOTE  
Avoid accidentally setting the LOW range (RANGE 1) of the instrument with a higher span limit than the  
HIGH range (RANGE 2). This will cause the unit to stay in the low reporting range perpetually and defeat  
the function of the AUTO range mode.

Consult your local regulations for the STP used by your agency.  
NOTE  
Once the units of measurement have been changed, the unit MUST be recalibrated, as the “expected  
span values” previously in effect will no longer be valid.  
Simply entering new expected span values without running the entire calibration routine is not  
sufficient.  
The following equations give approximate conversions between volume/volume units and  
weight/volume units:  
CO ppb x 1.25 = CO ug/m3

6.4.1. ADJUSTING THE A-REF MODE CYCLE TIME  
The auto-reference measurement feature is initiated by the M300EU at regular intervals (see Section 10.1.1). It  
is triggered by the timer feature of the analyzers ACAL system, which uses the instrument’s internal clock.  
All M300EU analyzers are shipped from the factory the ACAL system enabled (even on instruments without  
calibration valve options installed) and the first ACAL sequence already programmed and activated with the  
DELTA TIME parameter set for 4 hours (for a more detailed discussion of the ACAL system see Section 7.7 of  
the M300E/EM Operators Manual).  
This interval time can be changed to fit the specific application in which the M300EU is being used. To change

6.7.2. CALIBRATION OF THE ANALOG OUTPUTS  
This section replaces Section 6.13.6 of the M300E/EM Operators Manual (P/N 04288).  
ANALOG OUPUT calibration needs to be carried out on first startup of the analyzer (performed in the factory as  
part of the configuration process) or whenever re-calibration is required. The analog outputs can be calibrated  
automatically or adjusted manually.  
During automatic calibration, the analyzer tells the output circuitry to generate a zero mV signal and high-scale  
point signal (usually about 90% of chosen analog signal scale) then measures actual signal of the output. Any  
error at zero or high-scale is corrected with a slope and offset.  
Automatic calibration can be performed via the AOUTS CALIBRATION command, or by using the CAL button  
located inside each of the output submenus (e.g. CONC_OUT_1, CONC_OUT_2 or TEST_OUTPUT). By  
default, the analyzer is configured so that calibration of analog outputs can be initiated as a group with the  
AOUT CALIBRATION command or individually.  
ENABLING OR DISABLING THE AUTO-CAL FOR AN INDIVIDUAL ANALOG OUTPUT

M300EU  
(Addendum to M300EU Manual - P/N 04145)  
CALIBRATION PROCEDURES  
7. CALIBRATION PROCEDURES  
Calibration of the M300EU should be performed according to the procedures described in Chapters 7 & 8 of the  
M300E/EM Manual - P/N 04288 with the following notes and exceptions:  
Delivering span and zero gases for the higher resolution the M300EU can be difficult. Attention must be  
paid to the quality of the gasses, the level of contaminants in the gases as well as the history and  
conditioning of the gas delivery components.  
The analyzer must be continually operating with and adequate flow of sample gas, for 2 hours prior to  
performing a calibration (12 hours is recommended for the initial calibration).  
DO NOT calibrate the analyzer if it has been turned off or if no sample gas has been flow though it  
within the last 2 hours.  
After this stabilization period is complete and just prior to performing the initial calibration, force the  
instrument to perform an auto-reference measurement by following the instructions in Section 6.4.2 .  
REQUIRED EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES AND EXPENDABLES  
Gas lines to and from the analyzer should be PTFE or FEP Teflon, glass, stainless steel or brass only.  
Zero-air source (defined in Section 7.1.2 of the M300E/EM Operators Manual).  
Zero air must include at least 5% O2 (required for the proper operation of the CO scrubber).  
If a zero air generator, such as the Teledyne Instruments M701, is used it MUST be equipped with a  
hydrocarbon (HC) & CO scrubber option. For the Teledyne Instruments M701, this is Option 2B.  
Span gas source (defined in Section 7.1.3 of the M300E/EM Operators Manual).  
A recording device such as a strip-chart recorder and/or data logger (optional). Data recording device  
should be capable of bi-polar operation so that negative readings can be recorded.  
For electronic documentation, the internal data acquisition system can be used.  
NOTE  
If any problems occur while performing the following calibration procedures, refer to Chapter 11 of this  
manual for troubleshooting tips.

M300E/EM Operators Manual (see Table 9-1 below).  
9.1. PERFOMING AN AUTO-REFERENCE MEASUREMENT  
AFTER MAINTENANCE  
It is very important to manually initiate an A-REF measurement whenever any maintenance is performed on the  
M300EU, particularly if that maintenance is involves:  
Opening the top cover or the front panel while the instrument is making A-REF measurements.  
Opening the top cover or the front panel at any time when the next ACAL scheduled A-REF  
measurement cycle is < 2 hours away.  
Turning off the analyzer at any time when the next ACAL scheduled A-REF measurement cycle is < 2  
hours away.  
This should be done no sooner than 2 hours after the M300EU has been operating with the front panel / top  
cover properly closed and sealed. One this manual A-REF measurement is performed; the analyzer will discard  
any erroneous A-REF ratios that may have been recorded before the instrument’s oven temperature had a  
chance to re-stabilize.

(Addendum to M300EU Manual - P/N 04145)  
THEORY OF OPERATION  
10. THEORY OF OPERATION  
10.1. MEASUREMENT METHOD  
The information found in Section 10.1 of the M300E/EM Operators Manual (P/N 04288) is applicable to the  
M300EU with the following addition. It is recommended that you read that section before continuing.  
10.1.1. AUTO-REFERENCE RATIO  
The higher resolution of the M300EU makes it more susceptible then the M300E/EM to the effects of a variety of  
environmental conditions such as:  
Drift related to the age of the optical bench components ( e.g. the IR lamp, the IR detector, etc.)  
Variations in the temperature of the sample gas (affecting it density).  
Interferents, specifically CO2 and H2O.  
The M300EU accounts for these issues by adding an additional component to the CO concentration calculation  
call the Auto-reference ratio.  
This ratio is arrived at in the same manner as the measure/reference ratio (described in Section 10.1.3.2 of the  
M300E/EM Operators Manual) with the difference that that during the measurements that are to calculate the A-  
REF ratio, the gas stream is switched to pass through a scrubber that completely removes all CO from the  
sample gas. Therefore the measured difference between CO MEAS and CO REF represents the exact state of  
the sample gas and the optical bench’s sensors without CO present.  
Figure 10-1:  
M300EU Gas flow during Auto-Reference Measurements  
The analyzer averages the last five A-REF ratios and multiplies this average by a constant and the result is  
included in the final CO calculation as a positive or negative offset.  
Whenever an A-REF is manually initiated either by using the AREF submenu via the front panel (see Section  
6.4.2) or by activating pin-7 of the instrument’s digital control input connector, all previously stored A-REF ratios  
are erased and the new ratio inserted. This allows the user to correct for a bad A-REF reading (e.g. the oven  
temperature during the A-REF cycle was too high/low)

THEORY OF OPERATION  
M300EU  
Addendum to M300E/EM Manual P/N 04288  
The auto-reference measurement takes approximately 15 minutes. To ensure that the sample chamber of the  
optical bench is properly purged when switching between the sample and auto-reference measurements and  
vice-versa, each auto-reference cycle includes a 3 minute dwell period before and after the actual  
measurements are made. This cycle is restarted every 4 hours by an ACAL sequence, programmed at the  
factory (see Section 6.4).  
Figure 10-2:  
Auto-Reference Measurement Cycle  
10.2. PNEUMATIC OPERATION  
With the exceptions to the difference discussed on other portions of this addendum regarding the A-REF CO  
scrubber and the Nafion® dryer, (See Sections 3.2, 5.1.1, 5.1.2, 5.1.3, 10.1.1 & 0) the pneumatic operation is the  
same as that described in Section 10.3 of the M300E/EM Operators Manual (P/N 04288).  
10.2.1. THE A-REF CARBON MONOXIDE SCRUBBER  
A special CO scrubber is used to remove all of the CO from the gas stream when the instrument is performing  
an auto-reference measurement. The scrubber contains a substance that catalyses a chemical reaction  
converting any CO in the gas stream to CO2.  
NOTE  
To operate properly, the gas flowing though the scrubber must contain at least 5% O2.  
This includes calibration gases such as zero air and span gas.  
The O3 scrubber is located inside the auto-reference valve assembly.

THEORY OF OPERATION  
10.2.2. THE A-REF VALVE ASSEMBLY  
The auto-reference valve assembly is located next to the optical bench, at the rear of the analyzer between the  
Nafion® dryer and the outer wall of the instrument (see Figure 3-1). The following table describes the state of  
each valve during the analyzer’s various operational modes (see Figure 10-1).

10.2.3. THE NAFION® DRYER.  
Normal room air contains a certain amount of water vapor. While H2O is a very low-level interferent for IR  
absorption (in the same range as CO) it can cause enough interference to affect the high-resolution  
measurements of the M300EU.  
To account for this the M300EU has a special dryer added to the gas stream. The dryer consists of a bundle of  
parallel tubes of Nafion®, a co-polymer similar to Teflon® that absorbs water very well but not other chemicals.  
The multiple tube design of this dryer creates a large reactive surface without causing a restriction in the higher  
gas flow rate required by the M300EU that a long single tube style dryer would.

THEORY OF OPERATION  
M300EU  
Addendum to M300E/EM Manual P/N 04288  
The dryer consists of a bundle of 0.030" O.D. Nafion® tubes housed within a single large tube shell. Sample gas  
flows within the Nafion tubes while water vapor absorbs into the tubular membrane walls and is removed.  
Moisture permeating the tubing is carried away by a dry purge gas within the shell that flows countercurrent to  
the sample gas.  
This process is called per-evaporation and is driven by the humidity gradient between the inner and outer tubes  
as well as the flow rates and pressure difference between inner and outer tubing. Unlike micro-porous  
membrane permeation, which transfers water through a relatively slow diffusion process, per-evaporation is a  
simple kinetic reaction. Therefore, the drying process occurs quickly, typically within milliseconds.  
The first step in this process is a chemical reaction between the molecules of the Nafion® material and water,  
other chemical components of the gases to be dried are usually unaffected. The chemical reaction is based on  
hydrogen bonds between the water molecule and the Nafion material. Other small polar gases that are capable  
of hydrogen bonds can be absorbed this way, too, such as ammonia (NH3) and some low molecular amines.  
The gas of interest to the M300EU, CO, does not get absorbed and passes though the dryer unaltered.  
To provide a dry purge gas for the outer side of the Nafion tube, the M300EU returns some of the dried air from  
When the analyzer is first started, or if the instrument is turned on after having been off for more than 30  
minutes, the humidity gradient between the inner and outer tubes is not very large and the dryer’s efficiency is  
low at first but improves as this cycle reduces the moisture in the sample gas and settles at a minimum humidity.  
The dryer used in the M300EU is capable of adequately drying ambient air to a dew point of -6˚C (~4000 ppm  
residual H2O) at the flow rate of the analyzer.

10.3.2.1. Temperature Control of the Convection Oven  
The information found in Section 10.4.5.1 of the M300E/EM Operators Manual (P/N 04288) is applicable to the  
M300EU with the following exception(s):  
There are two heaters attached to either side of the optical bench (see Figure 3-1) that radiate heat into  
the insulated, oven area of the analyzer. Each heater has a fan attached to it that circulates the heated  
air throughout the oven airspace.  
The CPU senses the temperature level form different places inside the oven area and determines the  
overall temperature of the oven. Eventually, all of the components within the oven area will stabilize at  
the same temperature. This usually takes about 2 hours after the instrument is turned ON.  
A separate fan blows directly on the A-to-D conversion circuitry of the motherboard to more keep it at  
the same temperature as the oven airspace in order to eliminate any temperature-coefficient related  
offset.

10.3.3. MOTHERBOARD  
The information found in Section 10.4.6 of the M300E/EM Operators Manual (P/N 04288) is applicable to the  
M300EU with the following additions:  
10.3.3.1. A to D Conversion  
Because the M300EU has much higher resolution and sensitivity than the M300E/EM, the possibility that  
temperature-coefficient related drift could occur in the 10.3.3.1. A to D conversion circuitry if there were a  
significant difference in temperature between the converter and the surrounding airspace. To prevent this, a fan  
direct heated air directly onto the A to D converter area of the motherboard to ensure that it is as close as  
possible to the current temperature of the oven area.  
10.3.3.2. Sensor Inputs  
OVEN TEMPERATURE SENSOR  
A thermistor is located in the center of the insulated oven area (see Figure 3-1). It measures the analyzer’s  
inside temperature. This information is stored by the CPU and can be viewed by the user for troubleshooting  
purposes via the front panel display by selecting the test function OVEN TEMP or reported via the instruments  
TEST CHANNEL analog output (A4) by setting the output function also named OVEN TEMP.

TROUBLESHOOTING & REPAIR  
11.3. GAS FLOW PROBLEMS  
Along with the information found in Section 11.2 of the M300E/EM Operators Manual (P/N 04288), also be  
aware that problems with the flow of gas through the Nafion® dryer could also be a cause of pressure or flow  
problems through the M300EU. Poor gas flow or leaks related to the dryer can also cause it to not dry the  
sample gas efficiently allowing extra H2O to interfere with the analyzer’s CO measurements.  
In addition to the checks described in the M300E/EM Operators Manual  
Check for blockages in the dryer.  
Check for leakage in and around the dryer and its fixtures (both the wet gas stream and the purge gas  
inlets/outlets.  
If it becomes necessary to replace the Nafion® dryer, contact Teledyne Instruments’ Customer Service (see  
Section 11.6) for parts and instructions.  
11.4. OTHER PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS  
The information found in Section 11.4 of the M300E/EM Operators Manual (P/N 04288) is applicable to the  
M300EU with the following addition.  
11.4.1. Unexplained DRIFT  
Because the M300EU makes higher resolution CO measurements than the M300E/EM, subtle issues with  
certain subsystems that would be unimportant for the M300E/EM can affect its accuracy: The most common of  
these are:  
Temperature Coefficient issues related to the motherboard’s A-to-D converter  
Age related changes to some of the optical bench components (e.g. the mirrors, the IR source, the IR  
detector, etc.)  
Ambient changes in the condition of the instrument or the sample gas.  
If a drift problem exists and calibrating the instruments zero and span points does not correct the problem or  
there is no obvious component failure, perform the following operations in order:  
1. Let the analyzer run un interrupted for at least 2 hours  
This will ensure that the entire oven area and all of the components therein have reached an equal  
and stabile temperature.  
2. Perform an Internal A-to-D Converter calibration (see Section 6.13.6.5 of the M300E/EM Operators  
Manual).  
This should solve any issues related to the A/D converter.  
3. Perform a Dark Calibration of the Optical Bench (see Section 6.13.7.2 of the M300E/EM Operators  
Manual).  
This should account for any issues related to changes in the optical bench components.  
4. Manually initiate an A-REF cycle (see Section 6.4.2).  
This should account for any issues related to changes in the ambient conditions of the sample gas.

The information found in Section 11.5.5 of the M300E/EM Operators Manual (P/N 04288) is applicable to the

11.5.2. MOTHERBOARD  
11.5.2.1. A/D Functions  
The M300EU makes higher resolution CO measurements than the M300E/EM means that it is susceptible to  
temperature coefficient issues related to the motherboard’s A-to-D converter that could occur if the temperature  
of the motherboard differs significantly from that of the rest of the analyzer’s oven area.  
Compare the values of the BOX TEMP & OVEN TEMP test functions. If they are significantly different  
check the function of the:  
Oven theaters.  
The oven heater fans.  
The motherboard stabilization fan.  
The relays controlling the oven heaters.  
No abnormal blockages to airflow inside the oven area exist.
