1. Introduction:

Phosphine is a highly specific fumigant used to control a number of pests in a wide range of agricultural and horticultural crops and in wood products. Its primary application is for quarantine treatment, soil fumigation and post harvest protection. Fumigation is generally carried out by covering the commodities within a leak proof enclosure and applying Phosphine gas at a recommended concentration. As a process control measure it is necessary to monitor the Phosphine concentration at various stages of fumigation. For this application Uniphos 250 (PM) Phosphine portable monitor with a measuring range of 0 – 2000 ppm is suitable. This manual gives the full description of Uniphos 250(PM), its operation, calibration, maintenance and other relevant information 1.1.Instrument Description: Uniphos – 250(PM) Phosphine Monitor is a microprocessor based instrument for the detection of Phosphine in the concentration range of 0 – 2000 ppm. Fig. 1 shows the front panel diagram of the instrument, Fig. 2 & 3 shows the layout of the side & back view of the monitor. The instrument has the following important parts, viz., and the sensor, signal conditioning electronics, digital display, a sample draw pump and a battery pack. Being a microprocessor based unit it has data logging facility and it can store data with real time clock. There is also provision to download the stored data on computer. The instrument works on 4.8 V, 1900mAh Ni-MH Rechargeable batteries. 1.2.Working Principle: The Electrochemical sensor in this instrument when it encounters the target gas a current is generated in proportion to gas concentration. This current is converted into a voltage signal and digitized and displayed on its LCD display. This being a microprocessor-based monitor it can continuously monitor the Phosphine concentration and can store this data in its microprocessor, which can be later downloaded on a computer. The monitor is powered by a 4.8 V Ni MH Rechargeable battery. There are also two alarm set points, which can be set as per customer’s requirement.

What is displayed is the measure of the prevalent Phosphine Concentration present in the ambient atmosphere, provided the instrument has already been zeroed and calibrated. 3.1 MEASUREMENT MODE Once the instrument is in measurement mode the instrument is ready for making measurement. NOTE: Zeroing of the instrument is not necessary after every measurement It can be done at the beginning of the day following the method described in 6.2.1

3.1.1. PROCEDURE FOR MEASUREMENT The Uniphos-250- PM Phosphine Monitor can be used for the following purposes: 1.Measurement in working environment: To monitor Phosphine gas concentration in the ambient environment for personal protection. 2.Monitoring Phosphine Gas concentration during fumigation process: To monitor the Phosphine gas concentration in the silo during the fumigation process. Connect one end of a sampling tube to the GAS INLET of the monitor and put the other end of the tube in the silo where the gas concentration is to be monitored. Gas coming out from the outlet should be disposed off to the silo itself.

6.2.1. ADJUSTING THE ZERO DRIFT 1. Once you go to the calibration mode the first page will be the CAL OFF

Page. If the reading is already zero, press SET Key. When SET Key is pressed the unit will go to CAL GAIN Adjustment Page.

2. If the reading is negative, using UP Key increment the CAL OFF zero value until the reading becomes zero. If the reading is positive, using DOWN Key decrement the CAL OFF zero value until the reading becomes zero.

NOTE: The range of CAL OFF zero value is from –125 to +125. If the CAL OFF zero value has reached the extreme value and the reading is still not zero, then zero adjustment is not possible with the Keys.

3. Press the Enter Key to confirm the new CAL OFF zero value. Now the unit will go to the CAL GAIN Adjustment Page.

6.2.2. ADJUSTING THE GAIN 1. When you press the SET Key in the Calibration Mode, the unit will go to the

CAL GAIN Adjustment Page. 2. Now apply the calibration gas of known concentration to the gas inlet of the

instrument. Reading on the LCD panel will start rising slowly & will settle at some value.

3. If the displayed reading is matching with the calibration gas concentration exit CAL Gain Mode (i.e. Go to measurement mode) by pressing SET Key. No further confirmation by ENTER Key is necessary.

4. If the displayed reading is less than the calibration gas concentration press UP Key until the reading matches with the calibration gas concentration. If the displayed reading is more than the calibration gas concentration press DOWN Key until the reading matches with the calibration gas concentration.

NOTE: The range of CAL GAIN value is from –125 to +125. If the CAL GAIN value has reached the extreme value and the reading is still has not reached the expected reading, then gain adjustment is not possible with the Keys and the unit should be sent to the factory for calibration.

5. Now press the Enter Key to confirm the new CAL GAIN value. 6. Now the unit comes back to the measurement mode.

8.MAINTENANCE: The following points should be ensured for proper maintenance of the monitor. NOTE: 1. NEVER allow the unit to be used in direct sunlight. You may please provide

the canopy/sun shade while using on the site. 2. ALWAYS use good quality 1.2V x 4 NiMH or 1.2V x 4 rechargeable

batteries. 3. NEVER expose the sensor to gas concentration higher than its

prescribed range. 4. DO NOT expose the monitor to excessive positive or negative pressure. It

affects the accuracy of measurement.

The other maintenance required are: (i) A regular battery check and recharging it when the “LO BAT” symbol

appears on the LCD.
