    Personnel and Equipment Safety Information

    This section describes important safety information to avoid personal injury and damage to the equipment while installing, operating, maintaining, or servicing the equipment. All safety regu-lations, standards, and procedures at the analyzer location must be followed.

    All personnel involved with the installation, start-up, operation, maintenance, service, or trou-bleshooting of the analyzer must review and follow these Warnings and Cautions.

    warnings

    Review and follow these Warnings to avoid personal injury or environmental contamination.

    Always disconnect main AC power and/or external power sources to the analyzer before open-ing any covers or doors on the analyzer to check or perform maintenance on any components within the enclosures. If it is necessary to open the analyzers covers or doors while the circuits are live, first monitor the area for flammable gases (and proceed only when the area is safe). Purged Analyzer (Hazardous Location) Applications: To work on the analyzer with it powered up and its Electronics Enclosure door open, the Purge Bypass Switch must be in the BYPASS position. When the Electronics Enclosure door is open, take appropriate precautions to avoid electrical shock. Hazardous voltages are present inside.

    All electrical connections, adjustments, or servicing of the analyzer should be performed only by properly trained and qualified personnel. All electrical connections, materials, and methods (plus all safety policies and procedures) must be made in compliance with local wiring regulations and electrical code for the hazardous area, and be approved by the Owner Company.

    Follow appropriate regulatory and/or company procedures to lock out the analyzer while work-ing on its electronics.

    Before working on the analyzer, test the area for flammable gases. If an explosive gas atmo-sphere is present, do not open any covers or doors without first disconnecting power and/or alternate power sources to the analyzer.

    Before working on the sample system, confirm that the system is purged with Zero Gas and is isolated (blocked in) from the process.

    Because ultraviolet radiation can harm your eyes, avoid direct viewing of the light emanating through the end window of the source lamp. If the source lamp must be viewed while ener-gized, wear safety glasses that block ultraviolet radiation.

    The Analyzer Oven enclosure and components within the Analyzer Oven are hot; take precau-tions to avoid burning yourself.

    Purged Analyzer (Hazardous Location) Applications: [Special Conditions for Safe Use] The analyzer may only be energized by using the Purge Bypass Switch with permission of the works manager or his proxy. The permission may only be given when it is made sure that during the time the system is energized by using this switch an explosive atmosphere is not present or when the necessary protective measures against explosion hazard have been taken (hot permit). The analyzer enclosure may not be opened when an explosive atmosphere is present.

    Purged Analyzer (Hazardous Location) Applications: Do not apply power to the analyzer if there is damage (scratches, indentations, or wear) to any flamepath (on the Oven Heater or Disconnect Enclosure). Applying power to an analyzer with a damaged flamepath is dangerous and could result in serious injury or death, or serious dam-age to equipment. Replace parts immediately if damage or wear is apparent. Contact AMETEK if there is any doubt about the integrity of any flamepath.

    Cautions

    Review and follow these Cautions to avoid damaging the equipment.

    The electronic circuit boards and other static-sensitive components should be stored and trans-ported in static-shielding carriers or packages.

    For electrical-shock protection, the analyzer must be operated from a grounded power source that has a securely connected protective-ground contact.

    If it becomes necessary to handle any of the electronic circuit boards, do not subject the boards to static discharge. The ideal solution is a static-safe work area. Since such areas typically are not available at analyzer installation sites, the use of a wrist strap connected directly to a ground is recommended. If a wrist strap is not available, you should at the very least touch the metal chassis (to ground yourself) before handling or touching the boards.

    When handling the source lamps, it is very important not to touch the lamp windows because residual oils from the fingers will absorb ultraviolet light. The window is the flat surface at the end of the narrow glass tube. The lamp assembly is fragile and should be handled with care.

    Purged Analyzer (Hazardous Location) Applications: For Zone 1 Installations, all cable entry glands (one power cable entry and two signal cable entries) into the flameproof Disconnect Enclosure must be Ex d certified. As per EN 60079-14:1997, 10.3.2 The cable entry system shall comply with e) flameproof cable entry devices incorporating compound filled seals around the individual cores or other equivalent sealing arrangements. For Zone 2 Installations, use a suitable flameproof cable entry device with a sealing ring, as per EN 60079-14:1997, 10.3.2, item b); or, comply with local wiring regulations and electri-cal codes. In all cases, all unused cable entry ports must be plugged with a certified Ex d plug.

    Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

    Read and follow the recommendations in this section to avoid performance variations or dam-age to the internal circuits of this equipment when installed in harsh electrical environments.

    The various configurations of the Model 909 Single-Gas Analyzers should not produce, or fall victim to, electromagnetic disturbances as specified in the European Unions EMC Directive (if applicable to your application). [The NEC/CEC certification is Class I, Division 2, Groups C & D. The KEMA (ATEX) certification for Zone 1 hazardous locations is Ex pd IIB T3.] Strict compliance to the EMC Directive requires that certain installation techniques and wiring practices are used to prevent or minimize erratic behavior of the Analyzer or its electronic neighbors. Below are examples of the techniques and wiring practices to be followed.

    In meeting the EMC requirements, the various Analyzer configurations described in this manual rely heavily on the use of metallic shielded cables used to connect to the customers equipment and power. Foil and braid shielded I/O and DC power cables are recommended for use in other-wise unprotected situations. In addition, hard conduit, flexible conduit, and armor around non-shielded wiring also provides excellent control of radio frequency disturbances. However, use of these shielding techniques is effective only when the shielding element is connected to the equip-ment chassis/earth ground at both ends of the cable run. This may cause ground loop problems in some cases. These should be treated on a case-by-case basis. Disconnecting one shield ground may not provide sufficient protection depending on the electronic environment. Connecting one shield ground via a 0.1 microfarad ceramic capacitor is a technique allowing high frequency shield bond-ing while avoiding the AC-ground metal connection. In the case of shielded cables the drain wire or braid connection must be kept short. A two-inch connection distance between the shields end and the nearest grounded chassis point, ground bar or terminal is highly recommended. An even greater degree of shield performance can be achieved by using metallic glands for shielded cable entry into metal enclosures. Expose enough of the braid/foil/drain where it passes through the gland so that the shield materials can be wrapped backwards onto the cable jacket and captured inside the gland, and tightened up against the metal interior.

    Inductive loads connected to the low voltage Alarm Contacts are not recommended. However, if this becomes a necessity, adhere to proper techniques and wiring practices. Install an appropriate transient voltage suppression device (low voltage MOV, Transzorb, or R/C) as close as possible to the inductive device to reduce the generation of transients. Do not run this type of signal wiring along with other I/O or DC in the same shielded cable. Inductive load wiring must be separated from other circuits in conduit by using an additional cable shield on the offending cable.

    In general, for optimum protection against high frequency transients and other disturbances, do not allow installation of this Analyzer where its unshielded I/O and DC circuits are physically mixed with AC mains or any other circuit that could induce transients into the Analyzer or the overall system. Examples of electrical events and devices known for the generation of harmful electromagnetic disturbances include motors, capacitor bank switching, storm related transients, RF welding equipment, static, and walkie-talkies.

    OvErvIEw

    This chapter discusses the principles of operation and features of the Model 909 Single-Gas Analyzer, and a summary of how the entire system operates. This chapter also provides an overview of the AMETEK sample system and electronics and the various sub-systems that make up the entire analyzer system.

    Principles of Operation

    The basis

    The Model 909 Single-Gas Analyzer measures, at two discrete wave-lengths, the absorbances of ultraviolet radiation (light) by a gas sample. The concentration of the component absorbing the light (absorber) is then determined from relationships developed through application of the ideal gas law in concert with the laws of Bouguer, Beer, and Lambert.

    Thus, the absorbance, A, due to a single absorber is,

    RTlPkxA ][=

    where l is the path length of the light in the gas sample, [x] is the concen-tration (mole percent [see Note]) of absorber x, k is the molar absorptivity of absorber x at the measuring wavelength, , T, and P are the tempera-ture and pressure of the gas sample, respectively, and R is the universal gas constant.

    For an ideal gas, mole percent is equal to volume percent. At the nor-mal operating conditions of the analyzer, the real gas mixture deviates from ideal behavior by less than 0.5 percent.

    nOTE

  • 1-2 | Model 909 Single-Gas Analyzer

    For any given system at constant temperature and pressure, the equation can be simplified to:

    ][ xkCA =

    where C lP/RT is a constant depending only upon the system of units employed. The concentration of the absorbing component may be deter-mined from the absorption at the two measuring wavelengths.

    The Implementation

    The analyzer is comprised of two ultraviolet light sources, a Filter Block containing two wavelength-selective filters, a Beam Splitter, front-sur-faced mirrors, a gas Measuring Cell, and two matched photo detectors (see Figure 1-1).

    The Measuring Cell is contained within the analyzers oven. A pressure transducer monitors the pressure at the outlet of the Measuring Cell.

    figure 1-1. Analytical schematic.

  • Overview | 1-3

    Microcontroller board and host Controller board

    The operation of the analyzer is controlled by two microprocessors. The Microcontroller board is assigned to the Optical Bench board interface, data conversion, data preprocessing functions, temperature control, and handling input/output. The Host Controller board is assigned to the User Interface Panel and keypad control, auxiliary data input signal conver-sion, and final processing of the data from the Microcontroller board.

    The Microcontroller board controls the temperature of the temperature-controlled zones. The sample temperature, from the stack duct to inside the Analyzer Oven and Measuring Cell, must be maintained above the water and acid dewpoint temperatures of the sample. The Analyzer Oven, and thereby the Measuring Cell, are controlled (by an electric heater) at a constant temperature in the range from 120 C (248 F) to 150 C (302 F). The temperature sensor a resistance temperature device (RTD) used in the Analyzer Oven is embedded in the Heater Plate. The temperature sensor used in the Sample Line can be a thermistor or an RTD while the Sample Conditioning Unit (SCU) must use an RTD.

    Sample flow

    The sample gas is drawn from the stack duct through the Sample Conditioning Unit (or stack sample probe, if used) and Sample Line to the dual-chambered Measuring Cell. The gas sample enters the first chamber, flows the length of the Measuring Cell, crosses to the second chamber, flows the length of the Measuring Cell in the opposite direction and exits from the Measuring Cell. When the sample gas reaches the aspirator, it merges with the Aspirator Drive Air (Instrument Air or N2) and then is dispersed to atmosphere via a Sample Vent Pipe.

  • 1-4 | Model 909 Single-Gas Analyzer

    Discrete wavelengths

    To achieve measurements at discrete wavelengths, the placement of the source lamps is such that, at any given time, the photodetectors are ex-posed to light from only one lamp and filter combination (i.e., a discrete wavelength).

    As each pulse of light arrives, the Beam Splitter directs half the light to the Reference detector and half through the gas sample to the Measure detector. Because of the longer optical path length, light losses at the mir-rors, and light losses through the Measuring Cell windows, the amount of light received by the Measure detector is less than that received by the Reference detector, even when there is no absorber in the gas sample.

    To balance this effect, a screen that filters 30 % of the light is added to the Reference path. At each wavelength, these optical-path factors produce a constant difference between the amounts of light received by the two detectors.

    When an absorber is present in the gas sample, the amount of light re-ceived by the Measure detector is reduced further, the magnitude of the reduction being dependent upon the concentration of the absorber. Thus, for each wavelength, the difference in the amounts of light received by the two detectors (corrected for the optical-path factors) is used to deter-mine the absorbance of the gas sample. Then, using the aforementioned equations, the concentration of the absorber (for which the analyzer is configured) is calculated.

    Analyzer features

    The analyzer has been designed to comply with electrical classification requirements for general purpose and hazardous areas specific to this analyzers intended application. Depending on the application, some of these features may not be available for your analyzer.

    Sample System and Electronics

    Key features include:

    Safe transport of the sample gas May contain toxic percentage levels of either SO2, NO, or NO2, H2S, NH3, or Cl2 from the stack duct, through the analyzers sample sys-tem, and to a vent to atmosphere or back to the stack duct.

    Gas calibration system Allows the introduction of calibration gases directly into the analyzers sample system.

    Auto-Calibration function Automatically updates the calibration of the analyzer using Calibration Gas mixtures. The Auto-Calibration function can be initiated on com-mand by the user, at user-specified time intervals, or by the closure of a remote dry (potential free) contact.

    Auto-Zero function Automatically updates the analyzer zero. The Auto-Zero function can be initiated on command by the user or at user-specified time intervals.

    Remote Backpurge (Optional) If configured, allows the user to initiate a backpurge of the analyzer sample system from a remote location. This is done to remove any re-sidual contaminants in the sample system, such as in the case of a gas alarm, for example. This function is initiated by a remote dry (poten-tial free) contact opening.

    Calibration Gas Solenoid valve control Up to three solenoid valves can be controlled by the analyzer. One of the control outputs is reserved for the Zero Gas. The length of time that each solenoid valve is on is determined by a separate, user-ad-justable timer. Each of the solenoid-control outputs can be turned off by the user if it is not being used. The timer controlling each solenoid valve can be started manually by the user or automatically by the ana-lyzer during Auto-Calibration.

  • 1-6 | Model 909 Single-Gas Analyzer

    Auto-Calibration and Calibration Gas solenoid valve control functions Support the use of a single-species calibration gas mixture. The ana-lyzer is configured for a particular calibration gas mixture by the user.

    Four independent analog output signal channels The full-scale concentration for each output channel can be set by the user to any value within the measurement range of the analyzer.

    Easy Analog Output Calibration The analog output channels are calibrated by entering the zero and full-scale offsets for each output via the User Interface Panel keypad there are no potentiometers to adjust.

    Sample control system that detects the state of up to five temperature-controlled zones within the sample system Temperature-controlled zones include the Sample Line, Analyzer

    Oven, and Sample Conditioning Unit. There is also a spare temper-ature-controlled zone. Additionally, there is a zone reserved for ap-plications using a heated external probe with a dedicated temperature controller.

    The temperature-controlled zones are protected by independent over-temperature circuits. If any of these zones are found to be out of range, the analyzer automatically forces the sample system into Backpurge mode to avoid contaminating the system.

    User Interface Panel Provides access to a readout of system signals and parameters, alarm set points, local diagnostics, and user input. The calibration and con-figuration functions are protected by separate passwords.

    Three status relays Indicate faults, non-critical conditions, and operational status of the analyzer.

    Reliable electronics control system Controls the overall operation of the analyzer.

    Continuous purge of the Optical Bench Assembly, Measuring Cell Seal, and the Electronics Enclosure with Instrument Air Prevents contamination of the optical system and the electronics.

    No pumps are used Sample gas is transported throughout the sample system by means of an Aspirator within the Analyzer Oven. This provides flow vacuum.

  • Overview | 1-7

    Parts are electrically heated Wetted parts are maintained above the dewpoint temperature of the sample gas stack duct. No steam or other heating media is required.

    Mass Flow Calculation (optional) Calculations of the volumetric flow rate of the stack duct (stream) or mass flow rate of the measured component in the stack duct.

    Signals representative of the temperature and linear gas velocity of the stack duct or a separate external volumetric flow measuring device supplying flow signal to the Model 909 Analyzer are required for the calculations. The analyzer includes the necessary hardware for mea-suring the stack duct temperature and flow rate.

    DCS Communication Interface (optional) A RS-422 (or optional RS-485) port that can be used for remote com-munication with a Distributed Control System (DCS), using Modicon Modbus protocol. The Modbus protocol can be used with the analyzer operating as a slave device, responding to Modbus que-ries within one second. (The Modbus communication interface is optional.)

    Dilution Air Correction (optional, for use in General Purpose applications/analyz-ers only) Adjusts the concentration measured by the analyzer to a reference

    excess-air condition based on the concentration of oxygen (O2) in the sample. The O2 concentration of the sample can be measured by an optional Zirconium Oxide sensor installed within the analyzer Electronics Enclosure or by a separate, independent, external O2 Sensor.

    About the Analyzer Sample System

    The sample gas is transported to and from the analyzer by an aspirator housed within the heated Analyzer Oven.

    Figure 1-2 illustrates an example of a piping and instrumentation configuration your application may differ. To view the Piping & Instrumentation diagram for your application, refer to the Final As-Built drawings in the Supplemental Information section of this manual or the Documentation Package shipped with the analyzer.

    The major components of the sample system and their functions are de-tailed below. These components are for a variety of analyzer configuration possibilities. Depending on your application, only some of these compo-nents will be used.

    Component function

    Sample Conditioning Unit (SCU) The SCU which mounts on the stack is used to filter out particulates, prevent liquid carry-over, or otherwise condition the gas sample prior to transporting it through the Sample Line.

    Sample Line Transports the sample gas to the analyzer at a temperature above its dewpoint.

    Aspirator (if used) Located within the Analyzer Oven, the Aspirator provides suction to transport the sample gas through the sample path. The aspirator uses Instrument Air to extract and drive the sample gas from the stack duct, through the sample system, and vent it to atmosphere (or return it to the stack duct).

    Vent Pipe Vents the sample gas to atmosphere. Typically used in stack gas sampling.

    Vent Line (if used) Returns the sample gas to the stack duct.

    Aspiration Components and functions

    The following components make up the Aspirator system. See Figure 1-2 for a typical layout of the Aspirator system (actual drawing may differ for your application refer to Final As-Built drawings shipped with the analyzer).

    Component function

    Aspirator/Backpurge Air Pressure Regulator Used to adjust drive air flow rate.

    Check Valve Stops sample gas from entering the instrument air system if instrument air pressure is reduced below the stack duct pressure.

  • Overview | 1-9

    Aspirator Isolation Valve Used to manually shut off drive (aspirator) air to the sample system. Used for pressure checking the analyzer sample system.

    Aspirator/Backpurge Rotameter Used to adjust the flow rate of the aspirator air.

    Flow Control Solenoid Allows aspirator air to be turned off and on automatically if the analyzer is not ready to obtain a sample from the stack duct. This solenoid must be energized for the analyzer to obtain a sample of gas.

    Tubing Connection This tube, usually 1/4" stainless steel, runs from the Flow Control Solenoid to the Aspirator in the Analyzer Oven.

    Aspirator Provides suction to circulate the sample gas.

    Trickle Purge Provides a small flow of air to keep the backpurge connection tubing free of condensate. If an optional O2 Sensor is used, this trickle purge will also cause its output to go high if aspiration is lost.

    Sample Conditioning Unit (SCU) and Sample Line

    To ensure the temperature of the SCU and Sample Line do not fall below the dewpoint of the sample gas, these temperature-controlled zones are controlled by the analyzer electronics at a user-defined set point. If the temperature of these zones fall below 5 % of the set point temperature, the analyzer will automatically switch from Continuous Sample mode to Continuous Backpurge mode to avoid plugging in the SCU or Sample Line. These zones are also protected from overheating by a separate circuitry that trips the power to these zones if the temperature reaches 181.4 C.

    Calibration

    Calibration on the analyzer consists of zeroing and spanning the analyzer.

    For diagnostic purposes, the calibration gas flow is introduced automati-cally by the analyzer at user-specified time intervals.

  • Overview | 1-11

    Air Supply

    Clean dry instrument air is normally used to drive the aspirator, to purge the analyzer electronics, and to backpurge the sample system. The inlet air pressure must be minimum 210 KPAG (30 PSIG) for General Purpose ap-plications, or in the range of 420840 KPAG (60120 PSIG) for Hazardous Locations. The air is split into three paths as it enters the analyzer: Electronics Purge, Aspirator Drive, and Velocimeter Purge, each with its own controlling regulator.

    Electronics Purge Air

    The Optical Bench Assembly, Measuring Cell Extension, and the Electronics Enclosure are continuously purged with Instrument Air to prevent contamination of the optical system and the electronics. The purge air is normally obtained from the Instrument Air supply air via a separate regulator and flow restrictor mounted on the left-hand side of the Electronics Enclosure. The required purge air pressure is indicated by a label on the analyzer backpan. The Electronics Enclosure air pressure can be verified by connecting a pressure gauge (e.g., Magnahelix) to the fitting (gauge port) located on the lower right side of the Electronics Enclosure. The Electronics Enclosure air pressure should typically be be-tween 0.1 and 0.2 inches of water with respect to the air pressure outside the cabinet.

    Aspirator Drive Air

    The Aspirator Drive Air provides suction to circulate the sample gas at a controlled flow rate through the analyzer sample system. The Aspirator Drive Air is fed through the analyzer manifold, where it is routed to the aspirator inside the Analyzer Oven.

    When the sample gas reaches the aspirator, it merges with the Aspirator Drive Air (Instrument Air or N2) and then continues on through the gas Vent Pipe which disperses the used sample gas to atmosphere (or Vent Line back to the stack gas, if used).

  • 1-12 | Model 909 Single-Gas Analyzer

    velocimeter Purge Air

    The Velocimeter Purge Air provides instrument air to backpurge (clear) the pitot tubes or to perform a Zero/Span calibration on the Velocimeter.

    The purge air is normally obtained from the Instrument Air supply air via a separate regulator and flow restrictor mounted on the left side of the Electronics Enclosure. The required purge air pressure is indicated by a label on the analyzer backpan. The Electronics Enclosure air pressure can be verified by connecting a pressure gauge (e.g., Magnahelix) to the fitting (gauge port) located on the lower right side of the Electronics Enclosure. The Electronics Enclosure air pressure should typically be be-tween 0.1 and 0.2 inches of water with respect to the air pressure outside the cabinet.

    Status relays

    The analyzer uses three relays which indicate the operational status of the analyzer. Each relay provides a set of SPDT (Form C) dry (potential-free) contacts. The relays are configured for fail-safe operation (i.e., energized for the non-alarm condition).

    The three sets of status relays used are:

    Normal/Fault Status Relay When the analyzer is operating in its normal Run state, this relay is energized. This relay is de-energized if a Fault alarm condition exists within the analyzers built-in diagnostic system (the analyzer requires

    service). In RUN mode, S is displayed on the upper-right line of the User Interface Panel to indicate this relay has become de-energized.

    With the exception of an Over-Temperature fault (f Temp High) detected by the Over-Temperature RTD Daughter boards on the Sample Line, Vent Line (if used; or SCU), or Analyzer Oven, this relays contacts reset automatically upon correction of the Fault alarm. The Over-Temperature fault, however, must be reset manually. To reset this relay, you must press SW300 on the Termination board, located in the Electronics Enclosure.

    When a Fault alarm condition exists (relay is de-energized), the sample system will automatically switch to Backpurge mode if the analyzers Flow Control Mode is set to Analyzer (automatic) Control mode. A lower case b will be displayed in the top-left corner of the RUN mode screen to indicate the analyzer has automatically forced its Flow Control Mode to Backpurge.

  • Overview | 1-13

    Run/Calibration Status Relay When the analyzer is operating in its normal Run state, this relay is energized. This relay switches to de-energized to indicate that calibra-tion of the analyzer is in progress (as detected by the built-in diag-nostic system), that a parameter has been changed in the CALibration mode or ConFiGuration mode (also switches upon exiting CFG mode), or the analyzers Flow Control (Sample) Mode is in Continuous Zero Gas Flow mode or Continuous Sample mode.

    Resetting of the contacts is delayed by the Sample Delay Timer (SDelay) duration.

    Run/Attention Status Relay When the analyzer is operating in its normal Run state, this relay is energized. This relay is de-energized if a Warning alarm condition exists within the analyzers built-in diagnostic system (the analyzer requires attention), or when the analyzer is operating in CFG or CAL mode. This indicates to the control room that the analyzer is not oper-ating in its normal Run state. The Run/Attention contacts will also be-come de-energized if you manually force the analyzers Flow Control mode to any mode other than Analyzer (automatic) Control mode.

    When this relay changes state to de-energized, a lower case m will be displayed in the top-left corner of the RUN mode screen.

    Resetting of the contacts is delayed by the Sample Delay Timer (SDelay) duration; otherwise, this relays contacts reset automati-cally upon correction of the Warning alarm, upon switching back to Analyzer (automatic) Control mode, and/or upon exiting CFG or CAL mode.
