7 Introduction to working principle of

monitor
The monitor consists of parts involving sampling, filter, sample gas decrease
humidity/constant temperature control, sample gas density analysis, data
acquisition/digital filtering, dynamic data graphic display, data
storage/inquiry/communication and automatic power supply mode selection etc.

7.1 Sampling
The sampling part consists of air line, filter, suction pump and flow regulator etc. In
this part, the ambient air is introduced by suction pump through the filter and delivered
to sensor air chamber before being exhausted via monitor discharge hole as per flow
of 300mL/min separately.

7.2 Filter
Zero air filters: filter the sample gas when calibrating the zero.
Dust removal filter: remove dust particles in sampling gas.

7.3 Sample gas density analysis

It is made up of such electrochemical sensors as SO2 sensor etc. These sensors
detect the density of sample gas flowing through air chamber and output the current
signal corresponding to density of measured gas.

7.4 Data acquisition/digital filtering

The CPU-controlled data acquisition circuit collects multiplexed signals output by the
sensors instantly and processes the abnormal data with digital filtering so to ensure
correct and reliable acquired data against eliminating influences of various
interferences.

7.5 Dynamic data graphic display

The monitor applies 640480 dpi graphic LCD, which can visually display various
monitoring data and figure as well as monitor working status and provide Chinese or
English menu in man-machine dialogue with friendly interface.

7.6 Data storage/inquiry/communication

Adopt large-capacity data storage, capable of storing one months historical
monitoring data. Provide easy data inquiry. Equipped with CPRS communication

21

interface, through which you can achieve communication with computer, data
collection and printing.

8 Operating points
If lower-position computer needed save data manually, make sure SD card is connect
well before setting, turn off monitor first then take SD card in or out; SD card memory
is 512M, if memory is not enough, please delete trashy data, avoid to error when save
data.

8.1 Sensor polarization

To satisfy requirements for normal operation, the monitor shall always keep the
sensor in polarized state. When the sensor has been replaced or the polarization
process has been interrupted, you can calibrate or measure the monitor only after
24-hours continuous sensor polarization.
The monitor is equipped with built-in lithium battery (15V). When the external power
supply fails to provide power for the monitor, it will automatically switch to battery to
provide polarizing voltage for sensor. Under conditions of normal operation, the
lithium battery shall be ensured with sufficient electricity so to keep the sensor always
in polarized state.

8.2 Charging built-in lithium battery

The monitor is supplied with built-in lithium battery or external AC mains. When being
connected to external mains, it will automatically shut off the built-in battery.
When the lithium battery needs to be charged, it can be in charging state through
inserting the power plug into the socket without opening the power supply switch.

8.3 Calibrating and monitoring zero and range

The monitor can only be calibrated and monitored after at least 24 hours continuous
polarization.
8.3.1 Calibrating zero
The sample gas for calibrating zero can adopt zero calibrating standard gas or clean
ambient air. Connect the monitor to the zero calibrating filters and perform calibration
as per instructions displayed in screen. See attached Figure II.
Fill the high-purity nitrogen into gas bag. Note that the gas bag shall not contain other
residual gases otherwise it will influence the accuracy of calibration.
8.3.2 Calibrating range

22

When calibrating range, adjust the standard gas flow at 300ml/min and operate as per
instructions displayed in screen.
See attached Figure III.
(1) First, fill high-purity nitrogen and standard gas into gas bag separately.
(2) Prepare standard-proportion gas with high-accuracy gas mixer (See Operational
Instructions for Gas Mixer).
(3) Inlet the prepared standard-proportion gas into air-inlet opening and perform
calibration.
Attention: please dont calibration sensor if monitor is available, or inlet high density
calibration gas due to sensor goes back normal monitoring status need long time.
8.3.3 Environmental monitoring
When perform environmental monitoring, locate the monitor in the monitored
environment or connect the air-inlet opening to sampling pipe and operate as per
instructions displayed in screen. Properly connect AC220V power supply.

9 Attention
1. The monitor shall be protected from rain or moisture.
2. Never operate or calibrate the monitor at places close to EMI source.
3. The sensor contains acid solution and do not damage it when replacing. In case of
acid solution in the sensor leaking to your skin due to improper operation, you should
flush your skin with running water for ten minutes promptly and then get for medical
assistance in time.
4. Never repair or disassemble the monitor without permission. If the monitor fails or
the sensor expires, we will provide you with high-quality after-sales technical service.

Before configuration, its necessary to connect the IP MODEM with the configure PC
by the shipped RS232 or RS232-485 conversion cable as following.

10.3.2 Configuration introduction

There are two ways to configure the IP MODEM:
Configuration

software tool: All the settings are configured through the shipped
software tool. Its necessary to have one PC to run this tool.
Extended

AT command: All the settings are configured through AT command, so

any device with serial port can configure it. Before configuration with extended AT
command, you should make IP MODEM enter configure state.

29

The steps how to make IP MODEM enters configure state, please refer to appendix.
The following describes how to configure IP MODEM with the configure software tool.
At the same time, it gives out the corresponding AT command of each configuration
item.
10.3.3

Run the configure tool: IP Modem Configure.exe

The Serial Parameters column shows the current serial port settings. To configure IP
MODEM, please choose the correct serial port which connects to IP MODEM, and the
baud rate is 115200 with no parity, then open the serial port. If the button text is
Close, it shows the serial port now has been opened. If the text is Open, you
should open the port first. When the port opened, the Output Info column will display

10.3.4 Re-power IP MODEM

30

After Re-power IP MODEM, The configure tool will make it enter configure state. At
the same time, the software will load current settings from IP MODEM and displays on
the right configure columns. Its now ready to configure.
10.3.5 Configuration
10.3.5.1 Data service center settings
Settings on this page are the parameters related to Data Service Center (DSC).
Data

Center Number
IP MODEM supports two Data Service Center methods to transmit data.
Main and Backup: IP MODEM always tries to connect with the Main DSC. If fails to
connect with Main DSC, it will connect with Backup DSC at once
NoteIf no Backup DSC exists, please configure the Backup DSC same as Main
DSC.
Multi Data Service Center: IP MODEM can connect with at most five DSC at the same
time. All the multi DSC can receive the same application data.

If the Data Center Number is 1, IP MODEM work in Main and Backup DSC method.
When Data Center Number is greater than 1, IP MODEM works in Multi Data
Service Center method

31

AT command:
AT+SVRCNT=x
x: Data Service Center number
Note: every AT command is terminated with a enter character.
Main

Center Addr + Port:

IP Address and Port of the Main DSC, Its better to set the port greater than 1024.
AT command of the Main DSC IP address or domain name:
AT+IPAD=xxx
xxx: The IP address or domain name.
AT command of the Main DSC port:
AT+PORT=xxx
xxx: The port value

32

When Data Center Number is greater than 1, this setting is valid. For example
setting the Data Center Number as 3, Main Center, 2nd Center, 3rd Center work as
these three DSC
AT Command of the 2~5 DSC IP address or domain name
AT+IPADn=xxx
n is 1~4 correspond to center 2~5
xxx: The IP address or domain name
AT Command of the 2~5 DSC port
AT+PORTn=xxx
n is 1~4 correspond to port of center 2~5
xxx: The port value
Example:
Set IP address of center 3 as 166.111.8.238, and port

5001, the AT command is as

following:
AT+IPAD2=166.111.8.238
AT+PORT2=5001
Main

and Backup Center DNS Server

When the DSC Internet access uses domain name, Its necessary to set DNS server
resolving the DSC domain name. When the Data Center Number is 1, Main and
Backup Center DNS Server is used to resolve the Main center and Backup center
correspondingly.
AT command of Main Center DNS server:
AT+DNSSVR=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd: The DNS server IP address(must be IP address.
AT command of Backup Center DNS server:

33

AT+DNSSV2=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd: the DNS server IP address
Center

2~5 DNS Server

When the IP MODEM work in Multi Data Service Center method and the centers use
domain name, 2~5 DNS server is used to resolve center 2~5 correspondingly.
AT command of 2~5 DNS Server
AT+DNSSVRn=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
n is 1~4 correspond to center 2~5 DNS server.
aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is the DNS server IP address
aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is DNS service IP address (Must be IP address).
