3. OPERATION
3.1 UNIT LOCATION
The unit can be mounted in any orientation or position, however vertical mounting (unit above
process connection) should be made in process streams containing liquids or potentially
condensing gases.
3.1.1 WARNING LABEL
Remove sensor tube warning label prior to using the unit.
3.2 MOUNTING
Mounting is achieved by securing the sensor tube into the supplied fitting directly in the
process piping as shown below. Optional mounting brackets that attach to the instrument
housing are also available.
WARNING: DO NOT CINCH DOWN OR TIGHTEN FERRULES OUTSIDE OF
THE FERRULE REGION OF THE LONG TUBE OR YOU WILL RISK
PERMANENTLY DAMAGING THE LONG TUBE AND SENSOR ASSEMBLY
WITHIN.
1.0 inches is the maximum distance that the fitting mount can be from the end plate of the
Model 2230R unit. This is referred to as the Ferrule Region of the long tube which has a wall
thickness of 0.065 in. Any distance exceeding 1.0 in. will be in the Sensor Assembly Region
where the tube wall thickness is only 0.038 in. Cinching down a fitting outside the Ferrule
Region and in the Sensor Assembly Region may result in permanent damage to the long tube
and the sensor assembly within.

3.3 PROCESS CONNECTION
Model 2230R offer a variety of fittings to mate the unit to a process stream. The following table
lists our standard fitting selections. Others are available upon request.
·
·
·
½” MNPT thread
½” FNPT thread
-8 SAE/MS thread size
... and many other industry standards.
3.4 PROCESS CONNECTION
Power (8 to 13 VDC) is connected via the Power/Analog connector as shown in Section 4.1.
Once power is applied, the unit executes a warm-up sequence lasting five minutes. The status
LED will be amber in color during the warm-up sequence. When the unit is ready for operation,
the status LED will change to green (if the measured hydrogen concentration is under the first
relay set point) and to red (if it exceeds the second relay set point). The following operations
will be completed in this warm-up sequence:
·
·
Heat the sensor to operating temperature
Perform system self-test
WARNING: MODEL 2230R PROCESS HYDROGEN ANALYZERS ARE
CALIBRATED IN A HYDROGEN/NITROGEN (H₂/N₂) BACKGROUND AND
SHOULD NEVER BE OPERATED IN AN AIR OR OXYGEN BACKGROUND.
After warm-up, the Model 2230R Analyzer should be run in a hydrogen concentration
exceeding 5% by volume for at least an hour. Oxygen will readily adsorb on the Model 2230R
Analyzer and can confound the hydrogen measurements. If the sensors are left in oxygen, air or
any environment without hydrogen for long periods of time, they must be conditioned in
hydrogen to remove adsorbed oxygen and taken through the Verification process to check
accuracy. Failure of the Verification will require that the sensors go through Calibration. Both
procedures are described later in this manual.
The Model 2230R Analyzer can be exposed to oxygen for short periods of time without adverse
effects if the unit is turned off. If the units are operated in oxygen or stored in air for longer
than a week, the units’ hydrogen readings may be high due to oxygen adsorption on the sensor.
Hydrogen exposure will then cause the readings to drift lower as adsorbed oxygen is slowly
removed and the unit recovers to normal steady behavior.
If this drift behavior is observed, the sensor should be conditioned by operating in a hydrogen
concentration exceeding 5% until the readings are stable. The required hydrogen conditioning
may vary from several hours to several days depending on the level of oxygen exposure. Higher
hydrogen concentrations used during conditioning may accelerate the process. Once stable, the
unit should be taken through Verification to check accuracy and Calibration if needed.

greater gas overnight and perform the Verification and Calibration described later
in this manual.
3.5 SETTINGS
The unit’s operational and output settings have been configured at the manufacturer with
settings specified at the time of purchase. Settings may be changed through the use of Serial
Communication as described in section 4, or through the use of an Optional User Interface
Module.
WARNING: IF SETTINGS ARE CHANGED FROM THOSE SET BY THE
MANUFACTURER THEN IT IS THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO
UNDERSTAND THE IMPLICATIONS TO THE CONNECTING EQUIPMENT
MONITORING THE UNIT.
3.6 VISUAL STATUS INDICATOR
Located on the front of the unit next to model number marking, the Status Indicator LED
displays basic unit function as described below.

3.7 OPTIMUM UNIT PERFORMANCE
For maximizing the performance of the sensor, the following steps are recommended.
·
Verify that all electrical connections and made as recommended. Switching the polarity can
cause damage to the unit. Ensure that the DC power supply utilized is appropriate and does
not have large peak-to-peak noise.
·
Perform a Field Calibration after installation and conditioning steps described in the Start-
up section are completed.

MODEL 2230R, Process Hydrogen Analyzer
·
·
If the unit gets exposed to extended periods of no H₂ (or some Oxygen), condition the
sensor as described in the Start-up section and follow-up with a Field Verification (and Field
Calibration, if needed).
Effect of pressure: The Model 2230R Analyzer is hydrogen specific and sensitive to only the
hydrogen partial pressure in the gas stream. Since changes in total gas pressure will affect
the hydrogen partial pressure, they will also affect the sensor readings. For instance, at one
atmosphere pressure, a 50% H₂/N₂ mixture will be reported as 50% from the unit. At 1.1
atm, the reading will increase to 55% and two atms will result in a reading of 100%. In fact,
the Model 2230R Analyzer are capable of measuring multiple atmospheres of hydrogen and
readings above 100% H₂ are interpreted as hydrogen pressures above one atmosphere. So,
for example, a reading of 150% H₂ means 1.5 times the hydrogen pressure of a 100% H₂
concentration at one atmosphere. At the factory, the units are calibrated at one
atmosphere pressure. Performing the Field Calibration at the operating pressure will display
the pressure corrected reading. For example, if the local atmospheric pressure is 0.97 atm,
doing a Field Calibration will correct for this.
·
Verification/Calibration gas bottle accuracy: The inaccuracy of the gas bottle concentration
will directly affect the measured accuracy by the units. During factory calibration, the units
are calibrated with high accuracy gases (as high as ± 0.02% accurate). It is strongly
recommended that the user perform calibration with similar high accuracy gases to
maintain the accuracy specified in the manual.

5. MAINTENANCE
5.1 CLEANING
If the unit is exposed to process streams containing debris, condensates or other material that
may collect over the sensor tip then the unit should be removed from the stream periodically
and the tip cleaned by a gentle wiping with a clean lint-free cloth or paper.
5.2 CALIBRATION INTERVAL
TELEDYNE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS recommends that the system calibration be carried out if
the unit fails Verification. Field Verification can occur as often as needed and is recommended
when the tolerated sensor drift may result in unacceptably high errors. Anticipated drift rates
and error calculations are explained in the Verification section of this manual. The user has two
choices in calibrating the unit:
Contact TELEDYNE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS to make arrangements
for a comprehensive Factory Calibration using high accuracy gases by
TELEDYNE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS’s factory trained technicians;
optional NIST traceable certificate available upon request. An annual
Factory
Calibration
Factory Calibration is advisable to optimize performance.
Refer to Sections 4.4 and 4.5 for the operational procedure. Customer-
specific Field Calibration Kits for the Model 2230R analyzer is available
from TELEDYNE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS. Field Calibration is a 3 stage
process:
1. Run Field Verification,
Field
Calibration
2. Run Field Calibration,
3. Repeat the Field Verification to confirm a successful Field Calibration.
In the event the Field Calibration procedure seems to not be effective, TELEDYNE ANALYTICAL
INSTRUMENTS recommends the unit be shipped back to the factory for a comprehensive
evaluation and Factory Calibration.
5.3 FIELD VERIFICATION & FIELD CALIBRATION GASES
Field Verification and Field Calibration require the availability of at least two certified known
gases at values specific to the user’s application. For optimization, the hydrogen concentrations
of the gases implemented in Field Verification and Field Calibration must be the same. Flow
rate recommended is 0.5 ± 0.2 slpm.
Verification / Calibration in an Inert (i.e. nitrogen) Background Gas:
For a unit calibrated in an inert gas (i.e. nitrogen) background, carry out Verification and
Calibration in an inert (i.e. nitrogen) gas background.
Gas Connection
Gases are applied to the unit through user’s piping.

5.4 VERIFICATION
Verification Interval
Verification is a process to compare the sensor output to a known hydrogen concentration.
Verifications do not cause any wear on the sensor and can be accomplished as often as desired.
The recommended interval to perform Verification depends solely on the user’s desired
tolerance for the specific application in question. If the user does not have a specific desired
tolerance, TELEDYNE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS recommends that Verification be performed
every three months.
The tolerance (error) in measuring hydrogen has two primary components: the initial accuracy
number (offset) and a weekly drift value (slope). The chart below is provided as a guideline for
tolerance estimation for the Model 2230R and can be a useful tool in determining the initial
verification frequency. The subsequent verification frequencies can be decided based on the
actual weekly drift observed. The tolerance chart may be used in accordance with TELEDYNE
ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS Model 2230R accuracy specifications.

* Sensor performance specifications are only valid for units configured for a maximum 65°C dry
process stream temperature. All figures assume pressure compensation, operating in ambient
that do not contain Oxygen and are in addition to any errors in the gasses used. The accuracy is
specified for serial port output only.
The drift chart can be used to determine the maximum recommended Verification interval to
maintain a required level of accuracy. For instance, if ± 1% accuracy in a 5% H2/N2 gas is
needed; Verification should be typically performed every 3.5 weeks. If ± 2% accuracy is needed
in the same gas, the recommended Verification interval can be extended to 8.5 weeks.
Verifications may be done more frequently than these intervals if desired and should always be
performed if the sensor readings are unusual or suspected to have large errors.

MODEL 2230R, Process Hydrogen Analyzer
The Model 2230R Analyzer should be conditioned by operation in hydrogen exceeding 5% by
volume until stable and taken through the Field Calibration, if exposed to oxygen or operated
without hydrogen for an extended period. If the unit continues to exhibit errors in excess of the
published accuracy specification and drift rate, please contact TELEDYNE ANALYTICAL
INSTRUMENTS for factory evaluation and repair.
Verification Procedure
Verification can only be accomplished through interface with the unit via the serial port (refer
to the previous Serial Communication Commands section and the LEVEL 1 COMMANDS table in
Section 4.3). Verification of sensor output should be conducted on a regular basis to insure
proper unit operation. Analog outputs can be monitored through the user’s system. As part of
this sequence the date of verification is stored in the unit’s memory.
WARNING: IN ORDER FOR VERIFICATION TO SUCCESSFULLY TAKE PLACE,
THE SENSOR MUST BE IN NORMAL RUNNING MODE.
Verification Using Serial Interface – After establishing serial communication then follow the
sequence below:
1) Press “Esc”
2) The unit will return the command prompt “H2scan:”
3) Type “e” then hit “Enter” and follow prompts to field verify sensor calibration at two gas
concentrations
These steps will implement the following specification values as an example; for values in bold,
please substitute appropriate values relative to your specific operational conditions:

5.5 CALIBRATION
Calibration Interval
Calibration is used to correct any offset that exist between the sensor output and a known
hydrogen concentration. Calibrations do not cause any wear on the sensor and can be
accomplished as often as desired. It is recommended that Calibration be performed if a unit
fails Verification.
Calibration Procedure
IMPORTANT NOTE: During the Calibration process any previously completed Field Calibrations
are cancelled. As a result, during the routine the unit may display a hydrogen concentration
that is different from the applied gas concentration. This is normal. Once the procedure is
completed, the readings will be corrected to display the right concentrations for all subsequent
exposures.
Calibration can only be accomplished through interface with the unit via the serial port (refer to
the previous Serial Communication Commands section and the LEVEL 1 COMMANDS table in
Section 4.3). Analog outputs can be monitored through the user’s system.
Calibration Using Serial Interface (firmware version 0.47) – Follow the sequence below:
1) Press “Esc”
2) The unit will return the command prompt “H2scan:”
3) Type “f” then hit “Enter” and follow prompts to field calibrate the sensor with two gas
concentrations
These steps will implement the following specification values as an example; for values in bold,
please substitute appropriate values relative to your specific operational conditions:
