Teledyne API - T100 UV Fluorescence SO2 Analyzer  
Principles of Operation 
 
 
309 
As a safety measure, special circuitry on the relay board watches the status of LED D1. 
Should this LED ever stay ON or OFF for 30 seconds, indicating that the CPU or I
2
bus has stopped functioning, the Watchdog Circuit will automatically shut of all valves 
as well as turn off the UV Source(s) and all heaters. The Sample pump will still be 
running. 
13.5.8. MOTHERBOARD 
This printed circuit assembly provides a multitude of functions including A/D 
conversion, digital input/output, PC-104 to I
2
C translation, temperature sensor signal 
processing and is a pass through for the RS-232 and RS-485 signals. 
13.5.8.1. A TO D CONVERSION 
Analog signals, such as the voltages received from the analyzer’s various sensors, are 
converted into digital signals that the CPU can understand and manipulate by the Analog 
to Digital converter (A/D).Under the control of the CPU, this functional block selects a 
particular signal input and then coverts the selected voltage into a digital word.  
The A/D consists of a Voltage-to-Frequency (V-F) converter, a Programmable Logic 
Device (PLD), three multiplexers, several amplifiers and some other associated devices. 
The V-F converter produces a frequency proportional to its input voltage. The PLD 
counts the output of the V-F during a specified time period, and sends the result of that 
count, in the form of a binary number, to the CPU. 
The A/D can be configured for several different input modes and ranges but it is used in 
uni-polar mode with a +5V full scale. The converter includes a 1% over and under-
range. This allows signals from -0.05V to +5.05V to be fully converted. 
For calibration purposes, two reference voltages are supplied to the A/D converter: 
Reference ground and +4.096 VDC. During calibration, the device measures these two 
voltages, outputs their digital equivalent to the CPU. The CPU uses these values to 
compute the converter’s offset and slope and uses these factors for subsequent 
conversions. Refer to Section 5.9.3.6 for instructions on performing this calibration. 
13.5.8.2. SENSOR INPUTS  
The key analog sensor signals are coupled to the A/D through the master multiplexer 
from two connectors on the motherboard. 100K terminating resistors on each of the 
inputs prevent cross talk from appearing on the sensor signals. 
PMT DETECTOR OUTPUT: This signal, output by the PMT preamp PCA, is used in 
the computation of the SO

, CO

 and O

 concentrations displayed in the front panel 
display screen and output through the instrument’s analog outputs and COMM ports.  
PMT HIGH VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY LEVEL: This input is based on the drive 
voltage output by the PMT pram board to the PMT’s high voltage power supply 
(HVPS). It is digitized and sent to the CPU where it is used to calculate the voltage 
setting of the HVPS and stored in the instruments memory as the test function HVPS. 
HVPS 
is viewable as a test function (refer to Section 4.1.1) through the analyzer’s front 
panel. 
PMT TEMPERATURE: This signal is the output of the thermistor attached to the 
PMT cold block amplified by the PMT temperature feedback circuit on the PMT preamp 
board. It is digitized and sent to the CPU where it is used to calculate the current 
temperature of the PMT.
