pe = pabs pamb where pe = positive pressure, pabs = absolute pressure, pamb = atmospheric pressure The sample gas dew point should be at least 5 C below the lowest ambient temperature throughout the sample gas path. Otherwise a sample gas cooler or condensate trap is required. Water vapor content variations cause volume errors. The sample gas may not be flammable if the O2 sensor is used. When using the O2 sensor the H2O dew point must be 2 C. The O2 sensor must not be used with dry sample gases. The O2 sensor must not be used if the associated gas contains the following components: H2S, chlorine or fluorine compounds, heavy metals, aerosols, mercaptane, base components. The gas analyzer must not be used for the measurement of corrosive gases. Gases like chlorine (Cl2) and hydrogen chloride (e.g. wet HCl) as well as gases or aerosols containing chlorine must be cooled or undergo prior absorption. Please note the following for the measurement of flammable gases: The sample gas lines in the gas analyzer must be designed in the form of stainless steel pipes. The tightness of the sample gas feed path must be checked regularly. Housing purge is not required. One of the openings for the hose fittings must be open and sufficiently ventilated. If the gas analyzer is fitted in a rack, a natural exchange of air with the environment must be possible. If the gas analyzer is fitted in an enclosed cabinet, adequate external ventilation must be provided. Before using the gas analyzer the corrosion resistance against the specific sample gas must be checked. In case of failure the pressure in the containment system must not exceed the maximum value pe = 500 hPa (EL1020-IR) or pe = 1000 hPa (EL1020-O2 and EL1020-TC). The outlet pressure must not exceed the inlet pressure by more than the pressure loss across the analyzer. Please refer to Chapter 6 Calibrate the Gas Analyzer (see page 31) for information on test gases for calibration of the individual gas analyzers. EL1020 Gas Analyzer Operators Manual 9

Install the Gas Analyzer

Unpack and Install the Gas Analyzer


Gas Analyzer Unpacking Step 1 2 3 Action Remove the gas analyzer with the respective protective packaging from the shipping box. Remove the protective packaging and place the gas analyzer in a clean location. Remove the adhesive packaging residue from the gas analyzer.

If there is shipping damage that points to improper handling, file a damage claim with the shipper (railway, mail or freight carrier) within seven days. Make sure the enclosed accessories are not lost (see Section Items Delivered, page 10). Keep the shipping box and packaging material for future shipping needs.

Sample Gas Path Seal Integrity Verification

The seal integrity of the sample gas path is factory-tested. Since gas path seal integrity can be compromised during shipping of the gas analyzer (e.g. by strong vibration) a seal integrity check should be performed on site prior to startup. For information on checking gas path seal integrity see page 39.

Gas Analyzer Installation

The gas analyzer is intended for tabletop operation and rack mounting. For tabletop operation attach the adhesive pads supplied with the unit to the bottom of the housing. The four M5 tapped holes on the bottom of the housing can be used for rack mounting (see Figure 2 on page 11).

Connect the Gas Lines


Connect the Gas Lines Step 1 2 3 4 Action Square cut the tubing. Slide the knurled nut and clamping ring over the end of the tubing. Slide the tubing end up to the stop on the bushing. Attach the knurled nut and tighten it by hand.

In the version for the measurement of flammable gases ensure that the gas lines (stainless steel pipes) are properly connected to the couplings with 1/8 NPT internal threads under consideration of the tightness requirements.

Install a Fine Filter

Install a fine filter ahead of the sample gas inlet. A fine filter (Part No. 806539) is supplied with the gas analyzer. When installing the fine filter note the direction of flow indicated by the arrow on the housing.

Install a Flow Meter

Install a flow meter or monitor with a needle valve ahead of the sample gas inlet in order to adjust and monitor the sample gas flow.

Provide for Gas Line System Flushing

Install a shutoff valve in the gas inlet line (this is definitely recommended for pressurized gases) and provide a means of flushing the gas line system via the sampling port with an inert gas, e.g. nitrogen.

Evacuate Exhaust Gases

Exhaust gases should be routed to the atmosphere or to an exhaust pipe directly or via the shortest possible large-diameter line. Do not route exhaust gases via flow reducers or shutoff valves. Process corrosive, toxic or flammable exhaust gases in an appropriate manner.

Start the sample gas supply only when the gas analyzer has reached room temperature and after the warm-up phase has ended (see Section Start the Gas Analyzer, page 22). Otherwise the sample gas can condense in a cold analyzer. Note the gas inlet conditions (see page 9).

The measuring range can be adjusted within the limits valid for the sample components (see Section EL1020-TC: Metrological Data, page 52). For the factory-set component relative thermal conductivity it is permanently set to rTC = 0 to 60,000. The largest measuring range is 0 to 100 Vol.-% or 0 Vol.-% to saturation, depending on the measuring task. Measuring ranges within ignition limits cannot be provided.

Active Sample Component

Active TC component CO2:H2 Active TC component CO2:H2

Active sample component

All the sample components listed in the Section EL1020-TC: Metrological Data are available (see page 52).

All sample components are precalibrated at the factory. After activating a sample component, check the zero and span points and recalibrate as necessary (see Chapter 6 Calibrate the Gas Analyzer, page 31). When a different sample component is activated, the gas analyzer reverts to the factory precalibrated state. This means that calibration values are lost and set point and measuring range limit settings are reset to the reference measuring range limits.

Calibrate the Gas Analyzer

Calibration Verification
Calibration Verification The gas analyzer is calibrated in the factory. Transport stresses as well as pressure and temperature conditions at the installation location may however influence the calibration. Thus it is recommended to verify the gas analyzer calibration at the installation location prior to start-up.

Test Gases
Test Gas Dew Point The test gas dew point must be nearly identical to the sample gas dew point.

Test Gas Supply

Test gases should be connected to the sample gas inlet (e.g. using a multiple-path valve).

EL1020-IR: Notes for Calibration


Test Gases For zero-point calibration: Inert gas, e.g. nitrogen (N2) or sample component-free ambient air For end-point calibration: Calibration cell (optional) or test gas mixture (Concentration: 70% of the span value of the measuring range selected is recommended; the maximum value is the span value of the reference measuring range) The zero point is stable over long periods of time. If needed, it can be calibrated with nitrogen (N2). Ambient air at 20.96 Vol.-% O2

Test gases for O2 sensor

Zero calibration Span calibration

Calibration Cell (Option)

Use of a calibration cell allows the EL1020-IR gas analyzer to be calibrated without using test gas containers. The calibration cell is filled with a test gas matched to the sample components and measuring ranges for which the gas analyzer is set up. It is routed to the beam path during span calibration. The calibration cell set point should be checked at long intervals (recommendation: once a year, see page 36 for instructions).

EL1020-O2: Notes for Calibration


Test Gases For zero-point calibration: Oxygen-free process gas or nitrogen (N2) For end-point calibration: Process gas with a known oxygen concentration or dried air or test gas with concentration in the measuring range

Measuring Ranges with Suppressed Zero-Point

Zero-point and end-point of a measuring range with suppressed zero-point should only be calibrated with test gases with concentrations in the selected measuring range.

Carrier Gas Offset Correction

The influence of carrier gases is seen in the form of a displacement of the zero point (see Section EL1020-O2: Metrological Data, page 50). If it is expected that, due to a particular carrier gas specified by the customer with the order, this zero point displacement is greater than 1 % of the smallest selected measuring range, then the gas analyzer will be calibrated in the factory with an average process gas, and the deviation with respect to the carrier gas N2 will be corrected with the software function Carrier gas offset correction. This correction function has the effect that the influence of the carrier gas is minimized in the measuring operation. It is also active in the course of calibration while the concentration of the test gases is being measured. As a result, during zero-point and end-point calibration measured values are displayed which differ from the true measured value by the amount of the offset correction value. During calculation of the calibration however this correction function is switched off so that the offset correction value is not taken into account in the calibration results.

EL1020-IR: Measure Calibration Cell


Definition Measuring the calibration cell determines what calibration cell deflection is equivalent to the test gas calibration reading. This deflection is stored as the calibration cell set point.

When should the calibration cell be measured?

We recommend measuring the calibration cell once a year. Measurement of the calibration cell is also recommended after a user-set measuring range (see page 25) is calibrated for the first time with test gases and subsequently whenever the test gas is changed.

Before Measuring the Calibration Cell

Prior to measuring the calibration cell, the zero and span point of the applicable sample components must be calibrated with test gases.

Zero Gas Supply

During calibration cell measurement the zero gas supply must be turned on.

Pressure Correction
Air Pressure Effect A change in atmospheric pressure by a certain amount will affect measured value readings.

Pressure Sensor Installed

A pressure sensor is installed in the gas analyzers (in EL1020-O2 as an option). The effects of air pressure changes on the measured value are minimized by automatic internal pressure correction.

Pressure Sensor Calibration

If the indication of the internal pressure sensor differs from the current air pressure, the pressure sensor can be recalibrated. When measuring non-flammable sample gases, the pressure sensor can be connected to the sample gas outlet line via an external tee. In this case, the sample gas flow should be stopped when calibrating the pressure sensor in order to prevent the sample gas pressure from causing a false pressure reading. After calibrating the pressure sensor the zero and span points must be checked and recalibrated as needed.

Note for EL1020-O2

The EL1020-O2 gas analyzer with no pressure sensor installed is calibrated at the factory for an air pressure of 1013 hPa. If the air pressure at the installation site differs from 1013 hPa, the actual pressure can be corrected by manually entering a value (see instructions Calibrate Pressure Sensor, steps 1 to 3).

Maintenance

Important Note for the Version for Measuring Flammable Gases


Measures taken after opening the gas paths inside the analyzer unit If the sample gas path inside the gas analyzer has been opened, the seal integrity should be tested with helium at a leak rate of < 2 10-4 hPa l/s. The pressure drop method, described in the Check Sample Gas Path Seal Integrity section (see below) can be used as an alternative to the helium test. To accomplish this, increase the test pressure to a pe of approx. 400 hPa (= 400 mbar) and increase the test period to 15 minutes. The maximum excess pressure pe = 500 hPa (= 500 mbar). Any time the gas path is opened it must then be purged prior to connecting the power supply. This should remove any explosive gas/air mixture in the gas path. Purge gas for a non-flammable sample gas for a flammable sample gas Purge gas quantity Purge gas flow Purge duration Clean instrument air from areas free of any explosion risk Inert gas 5 times the volume of the gas paths Approx. 30 liters / hour At least 3 minutes

The purge gas should not contain any sample gas components.

Check Sample Gas Path Seal Integrity


When should seal integrity be checked? Sample gas path seal integrity should be checked periodically. It should be checked regularly when measuring flammable gases. It should always be checked after the sample gas path has been opened inside the gas analyzer.

Check Sample Gas Path Seal Integrity, continued


CAUTION! If the seal test is to be carried out with air and there is the possibility of a flammable gas being present in the sample gas path or if a flammable gas is to be introduced later, the sample gas path should first be purged with nitrogen. Otherwise the seal integrity test can be performed with nitrogen.

Sample Gas Path Seal Integrity Verification

Step 1 2 3 4

Action Plug the outlet of the sample gas path. Connect a hose with a tee fitted with a shutoff valve to the inlet of the sample gas path. Connect the free end of the tee to the pressure gauge. Blow air or nitrogen through the shutoff valve until the sample gas path is pressurized to a pe of approx. 50 hPa (= 50 mbar). Close the shutoff valve. Maximum excess pressure pe = 150 hPa (= 150 mbar). The pressure should not change measurably in 3 minutes. A sharp pressure drop is a sign of a leak in the sample gas path.

The following data relate to the smallest measurement ranges given in the table. The influence effects may be larger for smaller measurement ranges. The influence effects will be larger at operating altitudes > 2000 meters. Flow effect Associated gas effect 0.5 % of span at a flow change of 10 l/h within detection limit for equal flow rates of sample and test gas If the sample gas contains components in addition to the sample component (binary gas mixture), this will result in erroneous measurements. Ambient temperature in the range +5 to +50 C: At each point in the measurement range: 1 % of span per 10 C, based on temperature at the time of calibration Thermostat temperature 60 C 0.25 % of span per 10 hPa for the smallest possible ranges given; for larger spans the effect is correspondingly lower. Pressure sensor working range: pabs = 6001250 hPa Voltage and frequency in permissible range: 0.2 % of span < 1 % of span up to 30 deviation from horizontal orientation Approx. 30 minutes T90 2 s for sample gas flow of 60 l/h Sensor: Gold, silicon oxi-nitride; Sample chamber: Stainless steel 1.4305 FPM (Viton), PP, PVDF; in the version for measuring flammable gases: Stainless steel 1.4571
