DX6100 Series
Components for Gas Analysis
Principles of Operation
Gas Analyzers
The Non-Dispersive Infra-Red Spectroscopy (NDIR)
measurement method is implemented in the DX6100
Analyzer.
The analyzer provides gases concentration measurement based on the classical double channel optical
scheme.
One of the beams (measuring channel) has the
wavelength tuned to the optical absorption line of the
measured gas. The other beam (reference channel)
has the wavelength that is out of the adsorption band of
the measured gas.
After passing through the gas sampling cell the two
light beams intensities are compared.
actual measurements conditions: total transparency of
gas volume, optics imperfection and so on.
The reference channel is used for indirect measuring of the initial light intensity and allows to eliminate
The principle of gas concentration measurement realized in
the DX6100 analyzer
Design Features
The DX6100 Gas Analyzer is specially designed for
fast response, high sensitivity, low noise and low power
consumption.
A number of design features contribute to the performance :
u The infrared sources are special narrow-band
pulsed Light Emitters operating in a microsecond range. The light sources have long life
(more than 10,000 hours).
u Radiation from Light Emitters passes through
gas sampling cell, reflects from the mirrors and
is focused onto wide-band Photodetector.
u Light Emitters and Photodetector chips are integrated into a single housing and placed
onto a miniature TE cooler for thermostabilization.
u Microcontroller provides temperature
regulation with better then 0.1°C accuracy. The temperature is software selectable from the ambient value down to
–20°C.
u Heat dissipated from the warm side of
TE coolers results in few degrees of
overheating of gas sampling cell above
the ambient. This factor plays the role of
vapor anti-condensation at high moisture
operation.
u All driving function of Light Emitters and
24
u
u
u
Detector are operated by the on-board microcontroller.
Pre-amplified outputs are maintained by the
microcontroller. The final result is digital data of
measured gas concentration and is available in
realtime through the RS-232C or an analog port.
For the signal processing the calibrated data of
Optical Unit is used. The data is stored in Optical
Unit’s EEPROM.
The RS-232C port is also used for the remote
control from a computer.

DX6100 Series
Components for Gas Analysis
Operation Overview
The order of measurements with the DX6100 device
is as follows:
1. The individual calibration of device is required
using standard gas mixtures.
The Detector output signal is non-linear with respect
to the measured gas concentration. The intensity of
light that passed through the gas sampling cell is the
integral of various optical rays from Light Emitter. The
sensitivity of Detector and performance of Light Emitter
depend very much on their operating temperatures.
The Detector output signals (both measuring and
reference channels) are measured while calibration
gases with known concentration are passing through
the gas sampling cell. The data obtained are used for
polynomial extrapolation of calibration results.
The polynomial coefficients and the “zero” ratio are
stored into the device internal on-board EEPROM
memory.
The first calibration is made by the manufacturer.
The factory standard calibration uses not fewer than
five standard gas mixtures.
Several calibrations are made at different ambient
temperatures (in the specified operating range) and at
corresponding optimal operating temperatures of the
integrated Detector-Emitter pair.
It is possible to store up to 15 such calibrations for
further application.
Noise level
Default values are extracted by the device microcontroller from the memory and correspond to the
ambient conditions at calibration procedure.
It is also possible to use the value of measured
ambient temperature provided by the on-board digital
thermosensor.
3. To preserve high accuracy of the device it is necessary to make “zero” adjustments periodically as recommended in the DX6100 User’s Guide.
4. Periodicity of the device recalibration is 1 year. It
can be done at the Manufacturer’s factory or by a user
with the help of the corresponding DX6100 Vision II
software.

Time constant=1.0 s
CO2 Concentration, ppm
The main parameter of the digital filter is Time constant. It is
adjustable in the range 0.1…60 s.
The values of ambient temperature and pressure
can be inputted by a user manually into the device
memory at the beginning of the experiment.
Time constant=0.1 s
CO2 Concentration, ppm
Adjustable noise level is realized
due to application of digital filtration
algorithm.

2. During a routine operation the detector output
signals are measured. Using a known “zero” value and
polynomial coefficients the gas concentration is calculated with a high accuracy as a function of measuring
and reference channels signals ratio.
Resulted concentration is calculated in absolute
mmol/m3 units.
The device provides (if required) recalculation of the
concentration into relative ppm units. But to convert
absolute units (mmol/m3) into relative (ppm) ones it is
necessary to know ambient temperature and pressure.

Dx6100 Series
Components for Gas Analysis
Working with DX6100 Analyzer
Gas Analyzers
In general nothing is required for the Analyzer operation except the external power source.
But for many purposes, such as the change of tunings of the analyzer, zero adjustment, calibration and
so on, the control computer is necessary.
A user can control the Analyzer with computer in two
ways:
1) The remote control by the Analyzer is available
using the RS-232 port by a set of microcontroller commands.
The commands can be divided into two groups:
driving commands and setting commands.
All commands have the same format – the symbol
string, which consists of the command name identifier
and a list of its parameters. Some commands have no
parameters. The commands are described in User’s
Guide.
This way is very useful if a user is going to integrate
the DX6100 analyzer into a more complicated system.
2) The second way is based on using the DX6100
Vision II software.
DX6100 Vision II Software
The DX6100 Vision II software provides all possible
operational modes of the DX6100 Gas Analyzer. The software has a simple interface and does not demand a
User's special knowledge.
The software is delivered with the DX6100 Gas
Analyzer.
Also it is available for free dawnload from RMT website:
www.rmtltd.ru

Components for Gas Analysis
The DX6100 Vision II program allows an adjustment
of various operation parameters of the device. The following parameters are among them:
u Parameters of Light Emitters and Photodetector
operation (pulse duration, Emitter current,
Detector gain, synchronization and others)
u Telemetry structure (output parameters, repeating rate, duration of measurements and others)
u Warning levels
u Analog output adjustment and others
But before editing a parameter study the device
description thoroughly, please. Many of available
parameters should be adjusted very carefully by experienced users only or along the manufacturer’s recommendation.

Calibration
One of the very useful utility of the DX6100 Vision II
software is Calibration subroutine.
The program allows users to carry out quite a complex procedure of the device calibration.
The first calibration in a specified concentration
range is made by the manufacturer.
A user can perform any recalibration with the use of
the program.
According to the instructions the procedure consists
of several steps that must be completed by a user.
First of all, a user need to have a set of standard
gases with concentrations in specified range. Then a
user is to start the Calibration program and follow
instructions step-by-step.
The advisable periodicity of the device recalibration
is 1 (one) year. It could be done at the factory of the
manufacturer or by a User with the help of DX6100
Vision software.
Zero Adjustment
To ensure high accuracy, a simple adjustment can
be made during operation to adjust the “zero” ratio.
The procedure requires to start the sensor in the
Calibration mode and to flow up any "zero" gas through
the gas sampling cell.
The new “zero” coefficient will be stored in EEPROM
in place of the old value after the adjustment procedure
is complete.
