 Ensure that the baud rate, word length, and stop bit settings between modem and analyzer match (refer to
Section 7.3.2.6 and Section 7.1).
 Use the RS-2
32 test function to send “w” characters to the modem, terminal or computer. Refer to Section
7.1.11.

Get your term
inal, modem or computer to transmit data to the analyzer (holding down the space bar is one
way). The green LED on the rear panel should flicker as the instrument is receiving data.
 Ensure that the communications software is functioning properly.
Further help with serial communications is available in a separate manual “RS-232 Manual”, Teledyne API’s P/N
013500000, available online at http://www.Teledyne-api.com/manuals/.

12.6.10. PMT SENSOR
The photo multiplier tube detects the light emitted by the UV excited fluorescence of SO
2
. It has a gain of about
500000 to 1000000. It is not possible to test the detector outside of the instrument in the field. The best way to
determine if the PMT is working properly is by using the optical test (OTEST), which is described in Section
6.9.5. The basic method to diagnose a PMT fault is to eliminate the
other comp
onents using ETEST, OTEST and
specific tests for other sub-assemblies.
