Caution: This instrument will be damaged if used with in-
strument air that is not completely dry and oilfree. Ensure instrument air has −40 °C dew point
and has been filtered to remove all oil and particulates.
Safety notice
This instrument operates from potentially lethal line voltage. In addition,
some internal components operate at high temperature and can cause serious burns. Observe all precautions when using this device, and particularly
be sure that all devices connected to the instrument are safely wired and
properly grounded. Always disconnect power to the instrument before
opening the enclosure or servicing.
Caution: The analyzer should not be operated without the
cover in place and the cooling fan fully operational.
The exterior surface of the converter furnace and
tubes will rise to nearly 80 °C if operated without
the cover in place. Serious burns can result if the
proper precautions are not taken.

Overview
The Model CL3020 CLD NOx analyzer is designed specifically for use in low-
CEMS applications. NOx and NO (if dual-channel) are measured using
NO
x
chemiluminescence and a molybdenum-based NO
converter for total NOx.
2
The Model CL3020 meets or exceeds 40CFR60 and 40CFR75 demands for
relative accuracy, linearity, and calibration drift in low and ultra-low NO
x
gas-fired turbine applications.
Caution: The CL3020 is designed to analyze a clean, dry
sample, as is typical of a conventional extractive
CEMS. The sample dew point should be less than 5
C, and without any appreciable particulates or
other condensable or reactive gases. As with all
NOx analyzers, care should be taken in SCR applications to scrub any residual ammonia from the
sample to avoid contamination of internal components.
Measurement configurations
The Model CL3020 has several different configurations:

Theory of operation
The Model CL3020 CLD NOx analyzer uses chemiluminescence as the fundamental detection mechanism for NO

these mechanisms and their implementation in the analyzer are given below.
Chemiluminescence measurement of NOx
Chemiluminescence is defined as a chemical reaction that gives off light. Nitric oxide (NO) emits infrared light when it reacts with ozone (O
. By introducing a sample containing NO into a reaction cell and mixing
NO

it with ozone, one can measure the amount of light emitted by the ensuing
reaction and can infer the amount of nitric oxide present in the original
sample.
It is important to note that only NO is the only species directly measured.

Zirconium oxide measurement of O2
The oxygen measurement makes use of the fact that zirconium oxide conducts oxygen ions when heated above approximately 600 °C. Platinum electrodes on the interior and exterior of a zirconium oxide tube provide a catalytic surface for the exchange of oxygen molecules and oxygen ions. As molecules encounter the platinum electrodes, they become ionized and are
transported through the body of the zirconium oxide. This charge transport
ultimately establishes an electric potential across the electrodes that is proportional to the log of the ratio of oxygen concentrations on each side of
the oxide (The Nernst Equation). Thus, if a reference gas (usually instrument
air at 20.9 % O
ple gas flowing across the outer electrode can be determined. In a conventional zirconium-oxide oxygen analyzer, this voltage is exponentiated to determine the concentration.
In the Model CL3020, a second zirconium-oxide cell is ganged together to
pump oxygen into the first cell, which is maintained at a constant voltage.
The amount of oxygen needed to maintain the primary cell at the operating
point is a more sensitive measurement of sample concentration, and allows
for measurement at zero oxygen. This pump signal is carefully measured
and related back to the sample concentration.

Pneumatic design
Although the chemiluminescence technique is extraordinarily sensitive, specific to NO
pressures, flows, cell geometry, etc. that must be carefully engineered to
produce a properly functioning analyzer. The pneumatic design of the Model
CL3020 is shown in figure 1; the flow scheme is substantially different than
other gas analyzers. To properly operate and service the analyzer, it is important that the flow scheme be well-understood.
Starting on the upper left side of the diagram, instrument air is drawn into
the analyzer from a manifold vented to atmospheric pressure. Excess air
flow should be available at this manifold to ensure integrity of instrument
air to the analyzer. It is important that the air be free of oil and particulates.
Ozone for the chemiluminescence reaction is produced in the ozonator, and
is drawn into the cell where it mixes with the sample stream as described
earlier. A flow-control orifice is embedded in the fitting on the ozone inlet(s)
of the reaction cell(s), and the instrument vacuum pulls the proper flow
through the ozonator.
Two sample channels, if so equipped, may be present on the analyzer. Excess sample flow should be available to each to ensure good sample integrity to the analyzer. A sample pump configured to deliver 1 SLPM under
slight positive pressure to a 1/4" Swagelok
with a vent tube at least three feet long on each branch is an ideal connection.
, and inherently linear, there are many subtle effects involving

Note: Under no circumstances should the sample inputs or ozone
feed air be pressurized.
For the total NO
where any NO
channel, the sample first flows through the converter

is converted to NO, while any NO present is unaltered. The

furnace temperature is displayed on the front panel of the analyzer. Next,
this sample flows though the oxygen sensor (if so equipped), and then
through the sample flow meter. This flow rate should approximately
70 SCCM. The sample then flows on to the reaction cell where it mixes with
the ozone stream and the NO
measurement is performed. The reaction cell
x
is kept at 40 °C.
The exhaust port of the reaction cell contains a critical flow orifice, which
when backed by a sufficiently strong vacuum, controls the
total flow
drawn
through the analyzer. Exhaust from the cell is routed through the high temperature furnace to destroy all the ozone in the exhaust stream to preserve
the integrity of downstream components. Unlike carbon filters or other de-
CL3020 OPERATING INSTRUCTION | OI/CL3020-EN REV. A
11
signs, this ozone destruction technique is very safe and effective. No measurable ozone is left in the exhaust. The analyzer is normally configured for an
external pump to provide critical vacuum to pull the exhaust from the reaction cell. The flow through the analyzer is independent of this vacuum, provided it is low enough to meet the conditions for critical flow. The pressure
on the downstream side of the critical flow orifice (measured under conditions of full analyzer flow) should be no more than 30% of atmospheric
pressure.
If equipped, a second sample channel is present which does not flow
through the converter, therefore measuring only NO. The difference between these two channels represents the NO
sample, or any such other speciation (e.g. NH
concentration in the original
2
) depending upon external

system configuration.

Analyzer setup and quick start procedure
For experienced users already acquainted with gas monitoring techniques
and equipment, the following is a summary of installation and startup steps
for a typical CEMS installation; consult factory for other applications. Analyzer menus and operation are described in more detail in the next section
of the manual. To ensure the quickest and most reliable startup, please fol-
low the five steps below in the order shown.
Connect the analyzer
1. Connect instrument air and sample to inlets via 1/4” SwagelokTM fittings.
a. Instrument air: 1 SLPM of dry, oil-free air, vented to ambient condi-
tions. The instrument draws approximately 0.2 SLPM of air per
NO
channel, and a sufficient excess should be supplied to the an-
x
alyzer to ensure the analyzer only pulls instrument air, not ambient
air, from the vented connection (see figure 1).
b. Sample #1 (NO
): 0.2 SLPM of sample from a sample manifold
x
vented to atmospheric pressure. The instrument draws approximately 60 SCCM of sample per NO
channel, and a sufficient ex-
x
cess should be supplied to the analyzer to ensure the analyzer only
pulls sample gas, not ambient air from the vented connection (see
figure 1).
c. Sample #2 (NO), if equipped: 0.2 SLPM of sample from a sample
manifold vented to atmospheric pressure. The instrument draws
approximately 70 SCCM of sample per NO
channel, and a suffi-
x
cient excess should be supplied to the analyzer to ensure the analyzer only pulls sample gas, not ambient air from the vented connection (see figure 1)
2. Connect 1/4” diameter exhaust line (to pump or eductor) to 1/4”
Swagelok™ exhaust port. The vacuum source should be able of maintain an absolute pressure of less than 200 Torr at 1 SLPM flow. For example, a Thomas/Gardner model 2688VE44 mechanical pump or AirVac Engineering AVR-038H air driven eductor.
3. Connect analog output signals via 8-pin Phoenix Contact connector
(provided) per the pin assignments listed in Table 1, and/or Ethernet
connection if using digital communications.
Warning: This instrument is designed for use with 120V AC
input power only. Serious equipment damage
and/or injury will occur if it is connected to improper power.
14
CL3020 OPERATING INSTRUCTION | OI/CL3020-EN REV. A
Analog Outputs: The CL3020 analyzer has four analog outputs, assignable
to various measurements, depending upon configuration. Below are analog
output assignments typical of a dual-range non-speciating NO
analyzer.

Apply power to the analyzer and check diagnostics
Caution: The analyzer should not be operated without the
cover in place. The exterior surface of the converter furnace and tubes will rise to nearly 80°C if
operated without the cover in place. Serious burns
can result if the proper precautions are not taken.
1. Apply power by connecting the instrument power cord (provided).
Verify that the fan is operating by feeling for air flow at the back of
the instrument. If inadequate flow is suspected, shut down power.
Caution: The analyzer should not be operated without the
cover in place and the cooling fan fully functional.
Care should be taken to avoid blocking the air
vents in the side panel. Standard EIA rack mounting should provide enough space for adequate
cooling.
2. After approximately one minute the touchscreen will complete its
startup cycle and be at the home screen. Navigate to the diagnostic
screen and verify the following as summarized in Table 2:
CL3020 OPERATING INSTRUCTION | OI/CL3020-EN REV. A
15
a. Verify that the sample-flow (on the diagnostic screen) indicates
approximately 70 SCCM per channel and the ozone-flow (diagnostic screen) indicates approximately 230 SCCM for single channel
or 460 SCCM for dual channel configuration. If flows are not
NO
x
correct, check pneumatic connections and external system components (e.g. pump).
b. Verify the furnace temperature is rising. The furnace temperature
should reach 400°C in about 30 minutes.
c. Verify the ozonator temperature is rising. The ozonator tempera-
ture should reach 40°C in about 15 minutes. It may be necessary to
adjust the ozonator setpoint temperature for operation in unusually cool or warm environments. The operating temperature is not
important, it is only necessary that the ozonator temperature remains constant.
d. Verify the NO
reaction cell(s) temperatures is rising. The NOx cell
x
temperature(s) should reach 40°C in about 15 minutes.

Figure 6 shows an example calibration screen, in this case NOx1. Each gas
has its own calibration screen selectable by touching the corresponding rectangle from the column of choices on the right of the screen.
In this screen the raw value displayed corresponds to the percentage of analog input from the sensor. When troubleshooting, the raw value is often
more important to examine than the calculated concentration. This is because the calculated value may be corrupted by erroneous calibration, but
the raw value represents the underlying sensor response. The gain is the calculated correspondence between gas concentration and raw value captured
during calibration, as described below.

The analyzer is calibrated by assigning sensor responses to gas concentrations. Any two points may be used for calibration, but typically zero and
span are chosen. Bottle values for calibration may be entered by selecting
the appropriate field and entering numeric values form the pop-up touch

entries throughout the interface.
Stored raw values corresponding to gas bottle values (or known process values) may be “captured” by pressing the high or low capture buttons when
high or low concentration gas, respectively, is flowed to the analyzer. These
response values may be entered manually by entering raw values in these
fields using a numeric pop-up touch keypad.

Troubleshooting
Below is troubleshooting information on the analyzer, as well as information
on many of the sub-assemblies within the unit. Before troubleshooting the
analyzer, read through the diagnostic and operating parameters explanations to help narrow down any problems.
Warning: Potentially lethal line voltage, lethal high voltage
(within the ozone generator), and dangerously hot
tubing and subassemblies are present within the
analyzer. Service within the analyzer should be
performed only by qualified, trained personnel,
and only after the unit has been unplugged and allowed to cool for at least one hour with the cover
off.
Diagnostics and operating parameters
The diagnostics on the analyzer display much instrument status information (see diagnostics screen). From these readings, it is usually possible
to narrow down the source of any problems:
Warnings and alarms
The Home screen of the display will display the presence of any warnings or
alarms. Carefully check this information to troubleshoot any problems, for
example if NO
been left disabled.
Sample and ozone flow
Because these two flow rates are intimately related, it is important to consider them together. Sample flow is the amount of flow drawn through the
sample inlet through the analyzer. Ozone flow is the amount of feed air
pulled through the ozonator.
A critical flow orifice located in the exhaust fitting of the NO
mines the total flow (sample and ozone flow combined). This total flow rate
should be approximately 230 SCCM per channel.
One may determine several things by inspecting the NO
flow meters:

problems within the analyzer.

• If the both flow are low, there may leaks in the analyzer, the critical flow
exhaust orifice may blocked, the sample inlet may be blocked, the exhaust may be blocked or not vented properly, or the vacuum at the rear of
the analyzer may be inadequate.
• If the ozone flow is too low, the ozone air feed orifice may be blocked,
there may be a leak in the ozone supply tubing, or the compressed air
supply to the instrument may be faulty.
• If the sample flow is too low, the sample orifice may be blocked, there
may be a leak in the sample tubing, or the sample supply to to the instrument may be blocked
• If either or both flows are too high, check for pressurization of sample or
instrument air (inadequate or blocked vents), or other blockages. For example, if the ozone flow is restricted, one indication may be higher than
normal sample flow, and vice versa.
Converter temperature
The converter furnace temperature is maintained at 400 °C. The temperature should not vary by more than two degrees. If it is not at the proper
value, the furnace heater, thermocouple, or relay could be at fault.
Gas concentration readings
The O2 value should be stable to approximately 0.02% (absolute). Instability
or inaccurate readings could be caused by leaks or a faulty O
ule. The NO
reading should be stable to better than 0.25% or reading, or
x
sensor mod-
2
0.02 PPM, whichever is greater. Instability or inaccurate readings could be
caused be leaks, a faulty ozonator, or a faulty NO
sensor or sensor board.

System checks
Component failures within the analyzer are relatively uncommon. Most performance or reliability problems are due to improper system connections,
leaks, faulty electrical connections, or improper configuration, in that order.
Before opening the analyzer enclosure, double-check that the external connections and supply of conditioned sample gas, compressed air, and line
voltage are correct. The following may aid in troubleshooting if the analyzer
is not functioning properly and no faults are apparent form the diagnostic
information.
Electrical connections and fuse
Be sure all connectors on the main board are firmly seated and that all wires
within these connectors are firmly attached. There is a fuse holder on the
main power inlet of the analyzer, serviceable from the analyzer back panel.

Leak checking
Leaks may cause many non-obvious problems, a leak check is highly recommended when servicing or troubleshooting gas analyzers for any reason.
Leak checking should be done under vacuum, never pressure with the following procedure:
1. Seal the sample and instrument air inlet(s) on the back of the analyzer.
2. Connect a vacuum pump to the exhaust port, with an isolation valve in
between the pump and the analyzer, and a vacuum gauge on the analyzer side of the isolation valve.
3. Open the isolation valve, pump the analyzer down, and record the vac-
uum reading.
4. Close the isolation valve. The isolated analyzer pressure should not in-
crease more than 2 Torr/second.
If leaks are found, check all fittings for tightness, and locate the leak by progressively isolating parts of the analyzer. In general, if a leak is present it will
be very noticeable, not subtle. A slight apparent leak within the ozonator is
acceptable; a metered sweep of the ozonator assembly is designed to minimize stray ozone within the analyzer enclosure.
Component information
Information on service replacement of many of the analyzer components is
given below. Only proceed to investigation of components after thoroughly
checking pneumatic and electrical connections both inside and external to
the analyzer as noted above. “Part-swapping” without clear indication of
component failure is not a recommended troubleshooting or repair technique.
Oxygen sensor module
This is serviced as a unit. If approximately 9VDC is present on pins 1 and 2 of
the five-pin connector, and oxygen readings are unstable, nonlinear, or inaccurate, replace this module. If 9VDC is not present, examine connections.
Ozonator
Lethal voltage is present with the ozonator: Do not attempt to service the
ozone generator, and never open its enclosure or allow tools to come near it
when the analyzer is energized. The ozonator hums audibly when operating,
if power is being supplied to this unit (24VDC) and there is no hum, the
ozonator should be replaced.
NOx reaction cell
The NOx reaction cell has several fittings and the NOx sensor mounted on it.
CL3020 OPERATING INSTRUCTION | OI/CL3020-EN REV. A
29
The exhaust fitting on the back of the cell houses the critical flow orifice. It
may be changed by disconnecting the tube leading into the furnace and unscrewing the fitting. The orifice and fitting are replaced as an assembly.
If the readings have dropped, or if the analyzer has been subjected to ammonia, it may be necessary to clean the window on the sensor:
1. Turn off power to the analyzer and remove vacuum from the exhaust port.
2. Remove the two screws holding the detector assembly to the reaction
cell and remove the detector assembly.
3. Wipe off the optical window of the sensor through this port with deion-
ized water or rubbing alcohol to remove any film or deposits. Do not use
harsh solvents or abrasive materials.
4. Reinstall the detector assembly.
5. Energize analyzer, and apply vacuum. Leak check if readings unstable.
Converter
The converter has a cartridge heater and a thermocouple. The heater element and thermocouple connect to the main board near the back of the analyzer. The converter is typically replaced as an assembly, although the thermocouple and heater may be field replaced by experienced service personnel. The heater assembly should be replaced if either side of the heater
shows less than 1 MΩ resistance to the shell or if the heater resistance is not
approximately 70 Ω.
The power control relay for the heater is socketed near the rear of the board
and may require replacement if the converter power supply has been shortcircuited. The molybdenum charge may be replaced, consult factory for details.
Main board
If the main board must be replaced, the analyzer should be de-energized
and all connections removed before attempting to remove the board.

Digital communications
The model CL3020 analyzer can act as a MODBUS server (slave) and may
also be operated remotely via any standard PC or mobile VNC viewer. Additionally, a QR-code, i.e. 2D barcode, may be scanned by a mobile device to
capture a complete snapshot of instrument status that can easily be sent to
remote troubleshooting personnel.
Setting the IP address
The IP address for the analyzer is normally set to a static value of 192.168.1.50,
and can be changed by tapping the IP Address button on the Config Screen.
Either a static or dynamically assigned (DHCP) address can be specified.
Modbus over TCP/IP
The CL3020 can serve as a MODBUS slave over TCP/IP. The MODBUS register map is shown in Table 4.
Analyzer fault register
The 32-bit analyzer fault register reflects the alarm status of the analyzer,
whereas any non-zero value represents an alarm condition. The fault register bit assignments are listed in Table 3. The lowest bit (0) is set to true if
any alarm is present allowing for quick reading of a single bit for overall
alarm status. The fault register is also available in float data-type representation of the 32-bit value to allow it to be read along with many other input
registers using a single read command.

Remote operation via VNC
It is possible to operate the CL3020 remotely by any VNC viewer connected
via TCP/IP. Every display and every action that is available from the analyzer
display is duplicated on the remote device, with a mouse click or screen
touch on the remote device serving as the same input as front screen touch
commands.
Any VNC viewer may be used, once the IP address of the analyzer is known.
The VNC connection password is CL3020 (case sensitive) and cannot be
changed. TCP port 5900 is used for the VNC connection and must not be
blocked by any routers or firewalls between the analyzer and the remote device.
