Electrical Safety

WARNING

It is essential that you observe the given information and warnings!

Certain parts in the gas analyzer LDS 6 carry dangerous voltages. The housing must be closed and grounded before switching on the analyzer. Death, personal injury and/or damage to persons and/or property may result if this is not observed.

The cross duct sensor CD 6 meets all regulations specified in the present EU regulations (LVD regulation 73/23/EEC and EMC regu-lation 89/366/EEC) as well as those of the American and Cana-dian markets (UL- and CSA regulations).

The device has to be used in an industrial environment.

Laser SafetyAll lasers used by LDS 6 are of class 1. The emitted laser light is in most cases invisible (near infrared) and the intensity is low enough so that the unprotected eye is not damaged. However, if you look directly into the beam with focusing optics (like binocu-lars) there is a risk of eye damage. LDS 6 has warning labels at appropriate positions according to SSI FS 1980:2 chapter 5.

Heat SafetySome metal parts and piping placed near the sensors are at ele-vated temperatures. The reason is high temperature purging - either from steam or from air. These parts are either isolated or equipped with protective metal sheets.

Pressure SafetyIn some applications the process can be over pressurized. Nor-mally this is not a situation where the measurements will be ade-quate. Still, from a security aspect, the sensor is tested at 6000 hPa. This pressure value should not be exceeded in operational conditions.

Explosion Protection - Ex II 1G D T135°C EEx ia IIC T4The LDS 6, with a central unit and sensor interconnected with optical fibers, is in its nature very explosion safe. Only a limited, low energy part of the electronics is located at the measurement site. The distance between the central unit and the sensors can be several hundred meters. The LDS 6 system is available in an Ex version and is then delivered with an approval for use in hazard-ous environments in which explosive gases are in use. The ATEX

Installation Guidelines

certificate is a system certificate and is only valid if LDS 6 is installed according to the instructions given in the certificate.

ApprovalThe concept of the Ex approval is that the central unit is unchanged from a standard unit and that a special Ex sensor pair (CD 3002Ex) is used in the hazardous zone. In addition to this an explosion protection barrier is added before entry into the haz-ardous zone. An absolute condition for the approval is that the equipment is set up according to the Siemens Laser Analytics drawing, ADM 3040 3050.

The protection is as follows:

Cross Duct Sensor - Ex II 1G D T135° EEx ia IIC T4.

Central (Barrier) Unit - Ex II (1)G D T135° [EEx ia] IIC T4.

• Equipment Group: Group II - Surface.

• Equipment Category: Category 1G D - Zone 0. Flammable material can be present continuously, frequently or for long periods, in gas and dust.

• Type of protection: EEx ia. The equipment present in the haz-ardous area is intrinsically safe.

• Explosion group: IIC. This corresponds to a gas group contain-ing Acetylene and Hydrogen.

• Temperature class: T4. The maximum surface temperature on the equipment is 135°C and the ignition temperature of the gas or vapor is between 135°C and 200°C.

• The sensor housing protection is IP 65 and the ambient tem-perature must be between -30°C and +60°C.

LiabilityFollowing commissioning, the total responsibility is with the owner.

2.2 Installation Requirements

densing, around the central unit. Also ensure that the unit is not exposed to direct solar radiation. If these conditions can’t be ful-filled the LDS 6 must be installed in a cabinet with controlled environment.

NOTEAs condensing is normally a problem when moving the device from outside to inside a building it is recommended that the device should be adapted to room climate for a couple of hours before starting it.

The back of the unit must be accessible. There should be at least 10 cm of free space behind the LDS 6 to accommodate the signal and hybrid cables. To meet the safety requirements for air con-vection and cooling there must be a free space of at least 5 cm above and at least 3 cm below LDS 6.

PreparationsBefore the sensor can be installed at the measurement point, flanges have to be welded into the measuring site. The flanges must be DN65/PN6 or ANSI 4”/150 lbf with an inner diameter of minimum 55 mm and maximum 70 mm. The flanges must pro-trude at least 150 mm from the wall and 0-30 mm into the fur-nace or funnel. Flange tubes should never be longer than the purge tube (which has a standard length of 360 mm). If longer flange tubes are needed for any reason special purge tubes (longer) have to be used.

The flanges should be aligned before mounting the sensors. (See “Alignment of the Sensors” on page 48, for closer instructions on this process).

SensorsDo not install the sensors without access to purging air or steam (see “Protecting the Optical Surface” on page 60). Mount and align the two sensor units, transmitter and receiver, using some kind of alignment tool. (The supplied alignment kit is recom-mended). Make sure to have sufficient space around the sensors, to ensure easy service.

Hybrid CablesThe hybrid cables should be installed so that they are protected from mechanical wear such as sharp edges or moving parts. Always keep the protective tube and the inside protective cap covering the single mode fiber (E2000 connector) so it is pro-tected from dust. The operating temperature for the cables is -40 to +80°C and the installation temperature is -20 to +80°C. The bending radius of the cables may never be smaller than 100 mm.

Installation Guidelines

NOTEThroughout the entire installation, keep the fiber ends protected by the protective tubes; observe that these should only be removed by authorized personnel.

There are three kinds of cables used for the LDS 6 depending on the application:

• Hybrid cables for all types of systems except oxygen. These are installed between the LDS 6 and the transmitter sensor.

• Hybrid cables for oxygen systems only, also installed between the LDS 6 and the transmitter sensor.

• Loop cables, same for all systems, are installed between the transmitter sensor and the receiver sensor.

2.3 Electric Connections

WARNING

The respective country-specific standards for the installation of power systems with rated voltages below 1000 V must be followed. Failure to observe these regulations may result in death, personal injury and/or damage to property.

2.3.1 Power Supply Connection

General• Check that the local voltage agrees with that specified on the

label on the analyzer.

• The cable must be tested according to IEC 60227 or IEC 60245 and must be suitable for 70 °C.

• The power cable must be routed separately from the hybrid cables.

Detachable Cord• The analyzer is supplied with an appliance plug which may

only be connected to the power supply by qualified personnel (see “Qualified Personnel” on page 3). The cross-section of the conductors must be at least 1 mm2. The phase conductor must be connected to the identified position (L).

• Only detachable power supply cords tested by an accepted third party Lab accredited for the region where the unit is to be used is allowed. This cord must be suitable for the rated current and limited in length. This flexible cord must also be

LDS 6 – In-situ laser gas analyzerOperating instructions A5E00295894-01

8

Installation Guidelines

suitable for an ambient temperature of 70 °C and is not allowed to be mounted in building installations.

• As the kind of appliance inlet is only suitable for 70 °C ambi-ent temperature the power cord must be kept away with suit-able means from surfaces of more than 70 °C at max. rated operation conditions.

• It is not allowed to install a switch within the power supply cord.

Building Installation• A circuit-breaker shall be part of the building installation. It

must be provided in the immediate vicinity of the analyzer (see rating plate for loading capacity). It must also be labeled to correlate with the instrument.

2.3.2 Connection of the Hybrid CableThe hybrid cable is connected at the back of the central unit, where its two optical cables and one power wire are attached, as shown in the picture “LDS 6 cable connections” on page 9.

WARNING

Keep the fiber end protected, by the protective tube, until it is time for connection. Only authorized personnel are entitled to remove the protective tube and proceed with the connecting operation.

Installation Guidelines

2.3.3 Connection of Signal Cables

CAUTION

The signal voltages must be electrically isolated extra-low voltages (SELV). The max. voltage potential accessible to persons is 33 Veff or 46,7 V peak or 70 V dc. If several SELV voltages are available, then it is possible that the sum of these potentials is higher than that allowed to get in contact with the human body.

WARNING

The signal cables must only be connected to devices which guaran-tee safe isolation from their power supply.

If signals (i.e. analog output 4-20 mA) are to be routed into a potentially explosive atmosphere of zone 1, they must be intrin-sically safe. Supplementary retrofitting of the analyzer with energy-limiting modules is necessary.

The Ex identification of these modules must be clearly visible on the housing:

• The signal cables in the rack mount analyzer are connected to the DSUB plugs at the rear.

• RC elements must be connected according to the figure “Spark suppression” on page 11 as a measure to suppress the generation of sparks across the relay contacts (i.e. limit relays). Note that the RC element results in a drop-out delay for an inductive component (i.e. solenoid valve). The RC ele-ment should therefore be dimensioned according to the fol-lowing rule-of-thumb:

R [Ω] ≅ 0.2 x RL [Ω] C [µF] ≅ IL [A]

Additionally, make sure that you only use a non-polarized capacitor C.

2. E2000 Single Mode fiber connector, angle polished.

3. SMA Multi Mode fiber connector.

4. Power connection. 24 V/60 mA.

5. Signal output connections (see “Pin assignments for I/O connectors” on page 13).

6. Network connection. Ethernet TBase-10 (RJ-45).

LDS 6 – In-situ laser gas analyzerOperating instructions A5E00295894-01

10

Installation Guidelines

NOTEWhen using direct current, it is possible to fit a spark suppres-sion diode instead of the RC element.

• The cables to the relay outputs and binary inputs as well as the analog inputs and outputs must be screened. They must be connected to the corresponding trapezoidal DSUB plug according to the diagram “Pin assignments for I/O connectors” on page 13. The conductor cross-section should be 0.5 mm2. It is recommended to use cables of type JE-LiYCY... BD. The cable length of the analog outputs depends on the load.

Figure 2.2 Spark suppression

The above figure shows an example of measure to suppress sparks on a relay contact (rack mount analyzer). Since the DSUB connector and the spacings on board and on connector are only suitable for detachable voltages (signal) and as the power is located outside this powers supply, circuit must be SELV and the power must be limited according to EN61010-1 (Table 13 or 14) when an over current protective device is used.

• The reference ground of the analog inputs is the housing potential.

• The analog outputs are floating, also with respect to one another.

Installation Guidelines

• The interface cable must be screened and connected to hous-ing potential. The cable screen must be connected with a large-area contact to the screen of the DSUB plug. The con-ductor cross-section should be at least 0.5 mm2. The interface cable must not be longer than 500 meters.

• In the case of two or three channel analyzers with analyzer sections connected in parallel, the signal cables of each chan-nel are independent. Only the power plug is common to all channels.

2.3.4 Pin Assignment of LDS 6The signal connection is carried out by using two DSUB connec-tors for each channel – one 15 pins and one 25 pins.

Installation Guidelines

The transmitter includes a lens and a connection for the optical fiber located in the focal plane of the lens. The receiver contains a lens, a detector with preamplifier, driver electronics for the optical return signal, and a 24 VDC to ±15 VDC DC/DC-converter.

The laser light is coupled from the optical fiber in the transmitter to the transmitter lens and passes through the measurement vol-ume. The lens in the receiver focuses the incoming laser light on the detector where it is converted to an electrical signal. This sig-nal is amplified and converted to an optical signal and returned to the central unit LDS 6.

2.4.2 Mounting of Specific FlangesThere are three standard flanges available to mount the sensors for LDS 6:

1. DN65/PN6: The mounting of the sensor requires a DIN-flange (not delivered by Siemens Laser Analytics) with the dimen-sion DN65/PN6.

2. ANSI 4”/150lbf: The mounting of the sensor requires an ANSI flange (not delivered by Siemens Laser Analytics) with the dimension ANSI 4”/150lbf.

3. Motor wedge: The mounting of the sensor requires a specially designed flange and a special motor wedge (both delivered by Siemens Laser Analytics).

2.4.3 Installing and Aligning CD 6The installation of CD 6 is very straightforward and can be per-formed by the customer.

Mechanical InstallationThe transmitter and the receiver of CD 6 require a process flange as described in the above section. These have to be welded and aligned at the site before commissioning of LDS 6. Additionally, depending on application, one or two of the following might be needed:

• a supply of instrument air with 2000 – 8000 hPa pressure reg-ulation;

• 200 °C - 4000 hPa steam;

• electrical power for 370 W 1 phase electrical motor.

The instrument air is the most common way of keeping the wedge windows clean and should be connected using 6 mm (outer diameter) semi-rigid tubing.

Installation Guidelines

NOTEThe process flanges must be mounted parallel to each other and the maximum error angle is ±2 deg relative to the symmetrical axis of the two flanges (transmitter and receiver). It is also important that the sensor flanges are oriented in such a way that the spring loaded bolts are located in the lower section of the flange - see “Sensor CD 6” on page 15.

At installation of CD 6, the fiber end and the photo-detector have to be aligned to the optical axis of the sensor pair. Note that each sensor has an optical axis of its own which is its axis of symme-try. Normally the process flanges are mounted with an angle error. CD 6 is, however, equipped with a flange pair with a spher-ical interface. This is used when the sensor pair is aligned to each other, see “Alignment of the Sensors” on page 48. In this way an angle error of up to ±2° on each side can be adjusted for.

ConnectionsFour test points are available on the sensor card. The power and signal levels can be examined here using an oscilloscope or a multi-meter. Upon installation, the signal levels should be adjusted to be between 2 and 4 volts peak. This is done with the potentiometer on the detector card. After the signal level adjust-ment, the analyzer lockin-phase has to be adjusted as well. The potentiometer is factory-adjusted to minimum gain.

NOTEOnly trained installation personnel are allowed to adjust the gain level and lockin-phase for the application.

The powering of the receiver electronics is performed with a twisted pair copper cable delivering 24 VDC. This voltage feeds a DC/DC converter mounted on the sensor card which is able to give ±15 VDC and to handle 18 to 36 VDC on its input. This means that the system can handle large variations on the sensor voltage and thus will be very resistant to disturbances.

2.5 Dimensional Drawings

The central unit will fit in a standard 19” rack. The dimensions of it and the sensor CD 6 are shown in the following figures. Be sure to allow at least 50 cm (20”) behind the sensor for accessibility.

Entry into Main Menu for a 1- or 2-Channel System

Whilst in Measuring Mode, the component is shown on the right, with an arrow ( ). A soft key (1) is assigned to this spe-cific component and it is called by pressing it.

Entry into Main Menu for a 3-Channel System

The appearance of the screen menu varies depending on the number of channels and the number of measured components. For a 3-channel system the soft keys of the measuring screen are assigned to channels instead of measured components. If the channel has two components it is necessary to pass a second channel-specific measuring screen before entering the compo-nent-specific main menu.

Each channel can be operated independently.

Main MenuThe main menu consists of the five items shown in the adjacent screen.

Entering a SubmenuFollowing the selection of a submenu, you will be asked to enter a password for service mode 2 (exception: submenu ”Analyzer status” which requires no password and is thus freely-accessible).

Operation

Return to Measuring Screen

When pressing the MEAS key you return immediately to the mea-suring screen from any position in the menu structure 3. A com-menced input is aborted.

The adjacent question is displayed before the return is carried out. The modifications are imported into the working area of the parameter memory by pressing “Yes” or rejected by pressing “No”.

The ESC key leads back step-by-step to measuring screen 5. Modifications are imported without questioning 6.

Coding of AnalyzerAfter returning to measuring screen using ESC or MEAS, the symbol CODE in the status line shows that the analyzer is still in service mode 7. The analyzer can be coded again ( CODE) by pressing the MEAS key once more 8, thus entering Measur-ing Mode 9.

Simultaneously with the symbol CODE the symbol CTRL (Function control) appears in the status line, showing that the analyzer is not in measuring mode. External signaling via a relay contact is then possible if a corresponding relay has been config-ured with CTRL under function 71.

Fast Selection of FunctionsA ”Power user” input has been incorporated to allow immediate switching from the measuring display to the desired function dis-play if frequent inputs are necessary. It is then possible to directly access the desired function by bypassing the menu levels. The ”Power user” input can only be started from the Measuring Screen and comprises the following input steps:

• Enter number of desired function in measuring screen using the digit keys;

• Press the soft key next to the desired component;

• If you do not have the required privileges to change the desired function you will be requested to enter the password.

For a channel with two components on a three-channel instru-ment you must first press the soft key next to the desired channel and thereafter (in the next window) press the soft key next to the desired component.

51 LimitsThe limit alarm is triggered when the value of a component exceeds the permissible range set in this screen. The alarm can be turned off here.

The limit alarm is displayed on the status line if this has been set up by function 53. The alarm is also signaled by a relay if this has been set up by function 71. The triggering of the transmission alarm is registered in the logbook (function 3).

52 TransmissionThe transmission alarm is triggered when the transmission is out-side a permissible range. The lower alarm level of the transmis-sion for a channel is set as a percentage of the nominal transmis-sion value, where the nominal value is registered as the fourth soft key is pressed. The upper alarm level is set to a fixed value and cannot be changed by the user.

The transmission alarm is displayed on the status line if this has been set up by function 53. The alarm is also signaled by a relay if this has been set up by function 71. The triggering of the trans-mission alarm is registered in the logbook (function 3).

53 Status MessagesThis function can be used to display - within the status line - up to four different status which can be assumed by the analyzer.

55 Select DigitsThis function allows you to suppress the output of negative val-ues on the measuring screen. It is also possible to select the num-ber of decimal digits. The number of digits, including the decimal point, is always five when setting the function to automatic.

56 LCD ContrastYou can adjust the display contrast using this function.

If the contrast is wrongly adjusted you can re-establish the fac-tory settings by pressing the third soft key (”Basic setting”).

It is additionally possible to carry out an LCD test by pressing the fourth soft key (”Test”). Various test displays are then shown in succession. The test can be stopped by pressing ESC.

If the LCD contrast is extremely maladjusted, and if the analyzer is in measuring mode, you can re-establish the basic setting by pressing the following key sequence: 8888 ENTER

58 Date/TimeThe analyzer has a system clock which is not protected against power failure (not a real-time clock). The clock is set at 01-01-00 00:00 when the analyzer is started.

This function allows you to exactly set the date and time. This is particularly important to be able to assign a specific point in time to faults stored in the logbook. It can be of advantage when trou-bleshooting.

An editing field appears when you call the function in which you can enter day, month and year as ”New date”. Hours (24-hour system) and minutes are entered as ”New time”.

The set data are imported when you press the third soft key (”Set Clock”). The data then appear as an active display at the bottom of the screen.

75 Save/Load DataYou can use this function to save or load user-specific data in the user data memory on the EEPROM. Saving of data should always be carried out after a successful starting-up of the system. All individual settings are then saved and can be recalled if neces-sary (load user data). This is significant if repairs or maintenance are to be carried out on an analyzer or if new parameter settings are to be tried.

The working area data and the user data on the EEPROM can be erased by this function. The factory data can never be erased.

The above figure provides a summary of the interactions between RAM and EEPROM.

The basic status of the analyzer (factory settings) can be reestab-lished using the function “Load Factory Settings” (function 75).

77 Store Analog OutputYou can use this function to define the response of the analog output with certain alarms. The response for fault (S), transmis-sion alarm (TR) or for start-up and function control (CTRL), can be defined independently.

The analog output can be set to show; either

- the last measured value; or

- 3/1 mA. (3 mA if the NAMUR mode is choosen for the analog output in screen 70, and 1 mA otherwise)

The function can also be turned off.

When an alarm occurs and the analog output is set to the last measured value or 3/1 mA, the display of the concentration value in the measuring screen will be suppressed.

79 Codes Input LevelsYou can use this function to replace the factory-set codes (”111” for level 1 and ”222” for level 2) with your own. The value ”000” disables the code and unrestricted access is granted to the corre-sponding access level.

Relay and Binary Test

NOTEFirst remove data plugs.

The first display shows 6 of the relay and binary channels. Indi-vidual relays can be activated using the relay test. This is carried out by using the input field. A ”1” makes the relay pull up, a ”0” makes it return to the de-energized state. Digits other than 0 and 1 are not accepted by the input field. After leaving function 80, the relays reassume their former status, prior to selection of the relay and binary test. The column ”Binary” shows the current sta-tus of the binary inputs in this display.

Analog Test

The analog test can be used to parameter the analog output with a constant current of 0 - 24 mA for test purposes. The analog input permanently shows the input currents in mA.

81 Select LanguageYou can use this function to switch the analyzer to a different dia-logue language.

82 Pressure CorrectionYou can use this function to select:

• Pressure correction using an internal pressure sensor in the central unit;

• Pressure correction using an external pressure sensor via ana-log input 2;

• Pressure correction using a manual pressure value (example as shown on left).

The selected measuring range corresponds to the analog input signal range 4-20 mA. No other ranges or input signals can be used. If the pressure sensor is configured according to the NAMUR standard, the NAMUR mode should be selected for the analog input signal. Only input signals within the range ?? - ?? mA are then accepted. If the NAMUR mode is not selected, input signals within the range ?? - ?? mA are accepted.

Operation

The limits should normally mark the interval in which pressure compensation is possible. If the pressure signal exceeds the spec-ified limits this will be reported as a fault on the instrument.

The parameters for the pressure correction in the corresponding factory function are component-specific. Selection of the pres-sure mode in function 82 is channel-specific.

It is possible to switch off the pressure correction.

83 Temperature CorrectionYou can use this function to select

• Temperature correction using an external temperature sensor via analog input 1 (example as shown on left);

• Temperature correction using a manual temperature value;

• Temperature correction using the internally calculated pro-cess temperature. This is only possible if the LDS 6 is set up to measure the temperature at the measuring point.

The parameters for the temperature correction in the corre-sponding factory function are component-specific. Selection of the temperature mode in function 83 is channel-specific.

The selected measuring range corresponds to the analog input signal range 4-20 mA. No other ranges or input signals can be used. If the pressure sensor is configured according to the NAMUR standard, the NAMUR mode should be selected for the analog input signal. Only input signals within the range 3.8 - 20 mA are then accepted. If the NAMUR mode is not selected, input signals within the range 2 - 21 mA are accepted.

The limits should normally mark the interval in which tempera-ture compensation is possible. If the temperature signal exceeds the specified limits this will be reported as a fault on the instru-ment.

It is possible to switch off the temperature correction.

Alarms

Alarms 44.1 Alarm Response

LDS 6 is able to recognize and alarm for irregularities in its func-tions. There are five types of alarms that can be triggered depending on the nature of the error:

• Maintenance request alarm

• Faults alarm

• Transmission alarm

• Limit alarm

• Function control alarm

Status RowWhen the alarms limit (LIM), transmission limit (TR) or function control (CTRL) occur, their corresponding square symbol in the status row will be lit (if this has been set up in function 53). If a Maintenance request or a Fault is triggered the text “Mainte-nance request” or “Fault” will appear on the status line. This mes-sage is output alternately with the status messages. “STO“ and “CODE“ may also appear in the status line, but these are not sig-naling for alarms (see “Operation” on page 19).

LogbookAt the same time that an alarm is activated (marked with a “+” sign) and inactivated (marked with a “-” sign) a new message will appears in the logbook (function 3). The message will also show the time when it was recorded in the logbook together with a short text describing the alarm.

Faults are considered to be more severe than other alarms and are therefore treated somewhat different in the logbook. When a fault message first appears in the logbook it is marked with a filled circle to the right. To inactivate the fault alarm the fault message must be acknowledged by pressing the soft key next to it. This also removes the circle. The text in the status line as well as the response by functions 71 and 77 will not change until the fault message has been acknowledged. If the cause that trig-gered the fault alarm has not been corrected, a new message will appear directly as soon as the first fault message is acknowl-edged.

Every time a new message occurs, the report stored in the log-book is shifted by one memory location. A total of 40 locations are available, and the oldest of the 40 reports is deleted when a new one occurs. A power failure will delete all reports.

Function 60 can be used to switch off the logbook and also to delete the messages stored in it.

The output of messages can be particularly inconvenient during test runs. They can therefore be switched off using function 87. It is not recommended to use this facility during normal opera-tion.

RelaysIf the relay output of the analyzer has been configured accord-ingly (see also “71 Relay Outputs” on page 32), it is possible to output a signal when an alarm occurs.

Stored ValueThe response of the analog output can be set to the last mea-sured value or to 3 mA when an alarm occurs (function 77). This response signal is only possible for “Fault alarm”, “Transmission alarm” and “Function control alarm”.

4.2 Maintenance Request Alarm

A “Maintenance request” alarm is set when a modification of the analyzer is needed. The measuring ability of the analyzer may not be affected during the time this alarm is active. However, to guarantee reliable measurement in the future, it may be neces-sary to carry out corrective measures.

The following table shows the different alarm messages signal-ing for maintenance request that can appear in the logbook. These can be individually deactivated using function 87.

Maintenance and Service 5During normal use, the central unit LDS 6 requires no service. The sensor with its optical surfaces will need regular mainte-nance. Depending on application and purging method, the inter-val of maintenance may vary from 1 to 12 months.

5.1 The Central Unit

5.1.1 Cleaning InstructionsUse only a dry cloth without any cleaning agents. Since the cen-tral unit contains optical surfaces great care should be taken when cleaning. Only outer surfaces may be cleaned.

5.2 Cross Duct Sensor

If the transmission in a channel drops below the level set by the user, the transmission alarm will be activated. The sensor in this channel needs to be serviced by cleaning the wedge windows or realigning the optical path.

5.2.1 Cleaning the Wedge WindowsBefore the sensors are removed make sure that:

• If there is steam purging – turn it off!

WARNING

It is very important to turn off the steam since if over-heated it is invisible and can cause severe burn damages.

• No hazardous or hot gases can escape from the process.

• Appropriate protection against hot surfaces on and around the sensor is used.

1. Release the lock ring closest to the process – use an appropri-ate tool – and pull the sensor out.

2. Clean the window on the wedge tube. If the optical lens needs cleaning the second lock ring needs to be released. Extra care should be taken since the lens is anti-reflection coated and sensitive to scratches.

3. Clean the optical surface with a soft cloth or window cleaner containing ammonia. Soap water also works fine in many cases. Start at the centre and work with circular movements towards the rim.

4. Remove all dust particles using pressurized air or flushing water.

5. When the sensor is re-installed make sure that the guide pin fits the hole on the purging flange. Screw on the lock ring and tighten it gently with the tool.

If this operation is performed properly, it will not affect the align-ment of the sensor.

5.2.2 Alignment of the SensorsMount the sensors, receiver and transmitter, with gaskets on the flanges and cross tighten the bolts. Align the sensors in the fol-lowing steps:

Roughly align the adjustable flange so that the two discs are par-allel.

Maintenance and Service

This can be avoided by mounting the sensor pair on an external, more stable base, like a concrete or steel support.

5.3 Calibration Check

The calibration can be checked at any time by using the optional teflon coated verification cell FC3002 or FC3002H which is a heated version. Normally the LDS 6 does not have to be re-cali-brated but due to local regulations the calibration may have to be checked with regular intervals.

CAUTION

The calibration procedure is critical and should only be performed either by Siemens Laser Analytics AB or by certified personnel at site.

Technical Description

Technical Description 66.1 Introduction

The LDS 6 is a system for on-line in situ gas analysis providing continuous presentation of accurate and real-time measure-ments.

The gas concentration is measured using line absorption spec-troscopy. Cross sensitivities to other gases are eliminated in the measurements due to the frequency purity of the laser enabling selective detection of individual absorption lines.

The LDS 6 consists of a sensor pair (measuring heads) and a cen-tral unit interconnected using optical fiber cables. The central unit and the sensor can be installed several kilometers apart.

The light source is a diode laser with a wavelength that can be tuned within a narrow spectral range. An optical fiber guides the light from the central unit to the sensor, where it is directed into the measuring section. The laser beam passes through the gas in the measuring section and is partially absorbed there. The light attenuated in this way is detected by the receiver and is returned to the central unit. The variation in the intensity of the laser light in the vicinity of the absorption line is measured, and the con-centration of the gas being measured is calculated using the sec-ond harmonic of the detected signal.

The LDS 6 can measure at three locations simultaneously. Each measurement point needs a receiver board in the central unit as well as a sensor with cabling.

The LDS 6 operates as an independent unit. A 100-240 VAC main power supply is all that is required. The gas concentration and instrument status are indicated on the graphical display. The gas concentration is also continuously given as an analog 4-20 mA output. Several different alarms can also be obtained externally. The unit also accepts different inputs, analog and binary, such as process temperature and pressure.

LDS 6 can also be operated remotely via the Ethernet port with a PC running Windows 95/98/ME or Windows NT/2000/XP. It is also possible to connect to LDS 6 via modem over the public tele-phone net. The external connection requires the optional soft-ware LDSComm (LDS Communication Client) to be installed on the remote computer. All aspects of LDS 6 can be controlled in this way.

Technical Description

6.2 Overview

The LDS 6 consists of a central unit, hybrid cables and a sensor (CD 6 or CD 3002Ex). The hybrid cables contain optical fibers and a low voltage electrical cable (24 V), and connect the different types of sensors available to the central unit.

6.2.1 The Central UnitThe central unit incorporates a control panel with display, built-in keyboard, control computer, laser, reference cell, control elec-tronics for the laser and slots for up to three receiver channels. An on-board non-volatile memory is used to hold the software and necessary files for the operation. This simplifies the software updating which is done remotely through the Ethernet port. No moving media like hard drives are used.

Figure 6.1 LDS 6 central unit

Depending on the measurement situation, a response time down to 0.1 sec. is achievable. Each channel in the central unit also handles a large number of IO-units for 4-20 mA input/output, digital input/output and relay output - for further information see “Pin Assignment of LDS 6” on page 12. The I/O setup is com-pletely flexible and can be configured to the customers’ specifica-tion. As an example LDS 6 can present concentration and trans-mission values (4-20 mA) give alarms on system fault (common alarm) and transmission drop and read process temperature (4-20 mA). It is also possible to connect to the Ethernet port on LDS 6, either directly or via a LAN modem. With sufficient privileges all aspects of LDS 6 can be controlled this way. This option is pref-erably used before service visits to diagnose the status of LDS 6.

6.2.2 The Hybrid CableThe hybrid cable is constructed for very harsh environments and consists of two optical fibers, one for transmission of the laser light to the measurement volume and one for the return of the detected signal. Two electrical wires are used for powering the electronics in the sensor (24 VDC).

6.2.3 The Sensor CD 6The cross duct sensor, CD 6 (a sensor for measuring through a gas channel) is designed for in situ measurements. It consists of a transmitter and a receiver creating a single path measurement situation. The beam diameter is expanded to about 25 mm in order to improve performance in high dust load (>1 g/m3) appli-cations.

Figure 6.3 Sensor CD 6 (one of a pair of two)

The transmitter includes a lens and a connection for the optical fiber located in the focal plane of the lens. The receiver contains a lens, a detector with preamplifier, driver electronics for the optical return signal, and a 24 VDC to ±15 VDC DC/DC-converter.

The laser light is coupled from the optical fiber in the transmitter to its lens and passes through a wedge module (for protection of the lens) and then through the measurement volume. The lens in the receiver (also protected with a wedge module) focuses the incoming laser light on the detector where it is converted to an

Technical Description

electrical signal. This signal is amplified and converted to an opti-cal signal and returned to the central unit. The mounting of the sensor requires a flange with the dimensions DN65/PN6 or ANSI 4”/150 lbf.

6.2.4 The Ex Sensor CD 3002ExThe sensor is also available in an Ex-version. This has very low power electronics - intrinsically safe - and an IP65 enclosure.

Figure 6.4 Ex sensor CD 3002Ex (one of a pair of two)

For further information regarding the Ex option please refer to “Explosion Protection - Ex II 1G D T135°C EEx ia IIC T4” on page 5

6.2.5 Protecting the Optical SurfaceThe wedge windows are in many applications exposed to very nasty environments and will get stained very quickly if no mea-sures are taken. A number of existing methods available to keep the wedge windows in good shape are described in the following sections.

Instrument Air PurgingThis is the standard solution to keep the wedge windows free from contamination. It requires a flange equipped with an inlet for purging gas to create an air flow in front of the wedge win-dows and into the process.

NOTEInstrument air is rather expensive and therefore measures should be taken to minimize the consumption. Therefore a pressure regula-tor should be used at the instrument air connection point to facili-tate adjustment of the flow if no flow regulation is applied. If very high air flows (>100 l/min.) are needed an air blower should be used. As an option a needle valve can be supplied and be used instead to give an adjustable air flow of approx. 0- 110 l/min. (with 6000 hPa instrument air).

Technical Description

Gas Flow CalculationsGas flow calculations are slightly complex because gases are compressible fluids whose density changes with pressure. In addition, when the outlet pressure is less than one half of the inlet pressure, the gas reaches sonic velocity in the valve. This is known as “choked flow”, because a further decrease in outlet pressure does not increase the flow. In this application we are dealing with choked flow. The following empirical equation can be used to calculate the flow under these circumstances - assum-ing that the process pressure (Pp) is 1023 hPa:

q = 3.197 · Cv · P1 · sqrt[1/((T1+273) · Gg)]

where

q = the flow rate on the low pressure side [Nltr/min.] Cv = the flow coefficient (0,1 for the needle valve in our standard sensor) P1 = the inlet absolute pressure [hPa] Gg = the gas specific gravity (air = 1.0) T1 = the upstream temperature [°C].

The flow (q) of instrument air at p1 = 6000 hPa and T1 = 25 °C through the needle valve when it is fully opened would then be a little more than 110 Nltr/min.

For a more complete detail see the picture below. It shows the flow (q) as a function of the up-stream pressure (P1). There are two parameters in the diagram, i.e. the process pressure (Pp) and the temperature of the purge gas which is assumed to be air (Gg = 1.0). The diagram shows the flow through a system with a total Cv of 0.1. The flow increases linearly with Cv.

Technical Description

Purging with Air BlowerIn applications with high dust load purging with air blower must be considered. The air speed when standard purging is used is too low to prevent build-up of dust in the flange tubes. Our stan-dard air blower solution will provide up to about 1000 l/min.

Steam PurgingIf overheated steam is available it is a candidate for purging of the wedge windows. It has some advantages like high tempera-ture (to prevent salt condensation) and low maintenance. An additional advantage when oxygen is measured is that steam is free of oxygen and will not interfere with the measurements; consequently when water is measured this becomes a disadvan-tage. When oxygen is measured N2 purging of the sensor hous-ing might also be necessary to obtain maximum performance.

The requirements on the steam are that it must be ~200 °C and overheated at the sensor location. See the steam installation instruction provided by Siemens Laser Analytics AB. As an option a steam conditioning unit can be offered. We recommend its use for this kind of applications.

6.3 Measurement Principle

The LDS 6 measures the gas concentration by using line absorp-tion spectroscopy. If the absorption of a gas mixture is plotted versus the wavelength, it can be seen that absorption only takes place at certain wavelengths in the spectral region. These extremely narrow absorption peaks are referred to as absorption lines as shown in the figure below.

Technical Description

The measured gas (here ammonia) is identified by comparing with the spectrum from a built in reference cell. To perform line absorption spectroscopy, the LDS 6 uses a diode laser as light source since its spectral width is much narrower than the width of the absorption line. Furthermore, the wavelength of the laser can be selected to be near one absorption line of the gas to be measured. By varying the current and temperature the laser wavelength is tuned to cover the required narrow spectral range which includes the absorption line. When tuning the laser light over the absorption line it is partially absorbed. From the received laser signal the area beneath the absorption line can be extracted, which is a measure of the gas concentration.

The light emitted from the laser is split into five beams. The first beam passes through a reference gas and is then detected. This reference signal is used for continuous self-calibration and zero point determination of the system, taking temperature and pres-sure into account. The second beam is used for measuring the intensity of the laser and provides the control unit with informa-tion relating to the state of the laser. The third, fourth and/or fifth beams (depending on how many channels are in use) are con-ducted via the optical fiber with the E2000 connectors to the sensor heads, where it enters the measuring sections. When the laser light passes through the gas in the measuring section it is partially absorbed. The light is detected by the receiver and after signal conditioning it is converted to an optical signal and returned to the central unit using the multi mode optical fiber (with the SMA connectors).

Technical Description

Figure 6.7 Block diagram of LDS 6

The concentration of the measured gas is calculated from the absorption spectrum for the measurement channel (PT). Any change in the measurement conditions, for example as a result of a higher dust load in the flue gas or contamination of the opti-cal components, is compensated for automatically to guarantee the accuracy of the measurement results under a wide range of operating conditions.

6.4 Mode of Operation

The operation of LDS 6 is based on the fact that light propagating through a gas mixture will be absorbed - obeying the Beer-Lam-bert law - at certain narrow wavelength bands. This is where the gases possess molecular transitions forming narrow absorption lines.

The light source in LDS 6 is a semi-conductor laser tuned to an appropriate absorption line for the gas to be measured. The laser light is spectrally much narrower than the gas absorption line

Technical Description

and this, together with a proper choice of absorption line, will result in low interference from other gases.

The light is modulated in the audio domain, both in frequency and in amplitude, to facilitate detection on the second harmonic as well as elimination of contribution from spectrally broad absorption originating from dust, smoke, etc.

6.4.1 Single Line SpectroscopyThe absorption of a homogenous material is given by Beer-Lam-bert law. It states that α(ν), the fraction of photons absorbed over a path dz, is constant. This constant is called the absorption coefficient.

δI(ν)/I(ν) = dz α(ν)

Integrating over the path L gives:

I(ν) = I0exp(α(ν)L)

The absorption comes from two different kind of sources:

1)σ – dust and other components spectrally broad enough to act as a constant absorption over the wavelength scan.

2) αi(ν) – gas components in the path having a molecular transi-tion in the scanned wavelength region.

α(ν) = σ + Σαi(ν)

The absorption coefficient α(ν) for gaseous species varies sharply with the optical frequency. For one gas component

αi(ν) = Si g(ν - ν0) Ni

where Si is the molecular line intensity, Ni is the number of absorbing molecules per cm3 of atmosphere and g(ν - ν0) is the normalized line shape. The Bolzman population factor is con-tained within Si.

The number of absorbing molecules from the gas i at the partial pressure pi is given by the ideal gas law

Ni = NL (T0/T)(pi/p)

where T and p is the actual gas temperature and pressure respec-tively, T0 is the reference temperature at STP (273.16K) and NL is the number of molecules in one mole at STP. The gas absorption will have a temperature and pressure dependence from the molecular line parameters and from the fact that the number of molecules in the measuring volume change according to the ideal gas law. If we set Ki(T, p) = Si NL (T0/T) and define the opti-cal line strength per unit atmosphere of gas which now include all temperature and pressure effects we obtain

Technical Description

αi(ν) = g(ν - ν0) Ki(T, p) ci

with the concentration ci = pi/p in the units ppm or Vol%.

6.4.2 The Second HarmonicA diode laser instrument is usually not based on the detection of αi(ν) directly but utilizes the second harmonic of the signal gen-erated when the laser tunes over the line. In this frequency scale it is only the g(ν - ν0) component of the absorption that is affected by the scan and modulation. For low pressures the line shape can be approximated by

gD(ν - ν0) = 1/γD (ln2/π)1/2 exp[-ln2[(ν - ν0)2/γD2]]

where γD is the doppler line width (HWHM). At higher pressures we approximate the line with the Lorenzian shape

gL(ν - ν0) = (γL/π) 1/[(ν - ν0)2 + γL2]

where γL = κ(T0/T)ξ and where κ is the pressure broadening coef-ficient – approximately ½. During a wavelength scan around the line centre ν0, the frequency is modulated with a sinusoidal

ν = ν0 + νscan + mγLsinωt

where m is HWHM-normalized amplitude.

The detected absorbance at the second harmonic is then

αi2ω(ν) = Ginst [ΙscgL

2ω(ν - ν0,m) + β(ν - ν0,m,Ιm)]Ki(T,p) ci

where Ιsc is the laser low frequency intensity component, Ginst is the instrument gain used while β includes higher order terms that appear due to finite modulation if the laser intensity, Ιm.

gL2ω(ν - ν0,m) is the second Fourier component of the Lorenzian

line shape function, gL, whose analytical expression can be found in the literature.

6.5 Spans

The smallest and the largest spans which are possible depend on the measured component (type of gas) as well as the respective application.

Measurements - General• Accuracy is better than 2% of reading.

• Linearity is better than 1%.

• Stability is better than three times the resolution.

• Cross sensitivity is better than the resolution.

Resolution/Response TimeThese specifications strongly depend on the measurement envi-ronments like dust load, temperature fluctuations, etc. The parameters are usually better than listed but in some extreme cases they can even be slightly worse. There is also a trade off between resolution and response time. You can calculate the actual resolution by dividing the resolution given below with the path length in meters.

Technical Description

The transmitter includes a lens and a connection for the optical fiber located in the focal plane of the lens. The receiver contains a lens, a detector with preamplifier, driver electronics for the optical return signal, and a 24 VDC to ±15 VDC DC/DC-converter.

The laser light is coupled from the optical fiber in the transmitter to the transmitter lens and passes through the measurement vol-ume. The lens in the receiver focuses the incoming laser light on the detector where it is converted to an electrical signal. This sig-nal is amplified and converted to an optical signal and returned to the central unit LDS 6.
