TERMS USED IN THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Instruction Manual
HASX2E-IM-HS
02/2012
Explosive Gas(es)
Flammable Gases and gas mixtures in a mixture with air within the explosive limits.
Flammable Gas(es)
Gases and gas mixtures are assigned to be
ammable if they might become ignitable
when in a mixture with air.
Infallible Containment
This term is derived from the standards of
explosion protection especially from the requirements for pressurized housings: thus an
infallible containment can be characterized
by no intended leakage into the gas paths
enabling gas to enter the inner compartment
of the analyzer housing.
Intrinsically Safe Cell (IS Cell)
Cells supplied with an intrinsically safe power
signal, approved by a Test Institute, to operate
with explosive gases.
The design ensures the IS cells remains safe
even in case of failure and explosive gases
are not ignited.
Protection Class IP66 / NEMA 4X
Both terms are used to specify conditions for
equipment to be installed outdoor.
IP stands for Ingress Protection, the rst num-
ber species protection against solid objects
(6. = dust tight) while the second number
species the degree of protection against
liquids (.6 = heavy seas).
NEMA stands for National Electrical Manuf-
acturers Association. 4X species a degree
of protection to personnel against incidental
contact with the enclosed equipment; to provide a degree of protection against falling dirt,
rain, sleet, snow, windblown dust, splashing
water, and hose-directed water; and that will
be undamaged by the external formation of
ice on the enclosure
Upper Explosion Limit (UEL)
Volume ratio of ammable gas in air above
which an explosive gas atmosphere will not
be formed: the mixture of gas and air is too
rich in fuel (decient in oxygen) to burn.
Lower Explosion Limit (LEL)
Volume ratio of ammable gas in air below
which an explosive gas atmosphere will not
be formed: the mixture of gas and air lacks
sufcient fuel (gas) to burn.
NAMUR
NAMUR is an international user association of
automation technology in process industries.
This organisation has issued experience reports and working documents, called recommendations (NE) and worksheets (NA).

Power supply
X-STREAM X2
Safety Instructions
Ensure that the local power voltage where the unit is to be installed,
corresponds to the unit’s nominal voltage as given on the name plate
label.
CONNECTING UNITS FOR PERMANENT INSTALLATION
Only qualied personnel following all applicable and legal regulations
may install the unit and connect it to power and signal cables. Failure to
comply may invalidate the unit’s warranty and cause exposure to the risk
of damage, injury or death.
This unit may only be installed by qualied personnel familiar with the
possible risks.
Working on units equipped with screw-type terminals for electrical
connections may require the exposure of energized components.
Wall-mounted units have no power switch and are operational when
connected to a power supply . The operating company is therefore required
to have a power switch or circuit breaker (as per IEC 60947-1/-3) available
on the premises. This must be installed near the unit, easily accessible to
operators and labelled as a power cut-off for the analyzer.
Safety Instructions

General operating notes
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Exhaust gases may contain hydrocarbons and other toxic gases such as
carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is toxic.
Faulty gas connections may lead to explosion and death.
Ensure that all gas connections are connected as labelled and airtight.
• The unit must be installed in a clean and dry area protected from strong vibrations and
frost
.
• The unit must not be exposed to direct sunlight and sources of heat. Admissable ambient
temperatures (see technical details) must be adhered to.
• Gas inlets and outlets must not be interchanged.All gases must be supplied to the unit already
processed. When using this unit with corrosive sample gases, ensure that these gases do
not contain components harmful to the gas lines.
• Admissable gas pressure for sample and test gases is 1500 hPa.
• Exhaust lines must be laid inclined downwards, depressurized, protected from frost and
according to applicable regulations.
• If it is necessary to disconnect the gas lines, the unit’s gas connectors must be sealed with
PVC caps to avoid polluting the internal gas lines with condensate, dust, etc.
• To ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), only shielded cables (supplied by us on
request, or of equivalent standard) may be used. The customer must ensure that the shiel-
ding is correctly tted ( section 4.5, page 4-31). Shielding and terminal housing must be
electrically connected; submin-D plugs and sockets must be screwed to the unit.
• When using optional external adapters (submin-D to screw-type terminal), protection from
electromagnetic interference can no longer be guaranteed (CE compliance pursuant to EMC
guidelines). In this case the customer or operating company functions as a maker of a system
and must therefore ensure and declare compliance with EMC guidelines.

1.1 Overview
X-STREAM X2
1.1 Overview
All X-STREAM gas analyzers feature an
easy-to-use alphanumeric user interface,
which displays measurement values, status
and error messages, and menus for the input
of parameters.
1.1.1 The Front Panel
All X-STREAM gas analyzers feature an
alphanumeric LCD display with 4x20 characters, showing measurement and status
information.
Wall-mounted units can, as an alternative, be
tted with a vacuum uorescent display, incre-
asing legibility in brighter environments.
The
display can also be protected with an impact
tested glass panel.
All analyzer types also feature three LEDs on
the front panel which display status information in addition to the plain text messages.
For ease of use, the operator can select one
of ve languages for the display (currently
available: English, French, German, Italian
and Spanish).
The colors of the LEDs are based on the
NAMUR NE 44 specifications. The LEDs
are activated in accordance with the NE 107
standards, and indicate “Failure”, “Function
check”, “Out of specication” and “Maintenance
request”. For further information, see
chapter 8, page 8-1.
The analyzer software is operated by means
of only six keys.

1.2 Conguration of Gas Lines
1.2 Configuration of Gas Lines
Various materials are available to allow the
analyzer to be customized to your needs.
The materials used are selected based on
the characteristics of the sample gas, e.g.
diffusion rate, corrosiveness, temperature
and pressure.
1.2.1 Materials Used
The physical and chemical properties of the
sample gas as well as the conditions under
which measurement takes place inuence the
choice of materials. Among those available
are Viton
®
, PFA and stainless steel.
1.2.2 Safety Filter
The analyzers are generally tted with an
internal stainless-steel lter. This lter is not
a replacement for any dust lter in the prepa-
ration of the gas, but represents a last line of
defence.
1.2.3 Inlets and Outlets
Rackmounted and tabletop devices are tted
with PVDF inlets and outlets (ø 6/4 mm) as
standard. Alternatively, Swagelok™ or stain-
less steel ttings (ø 6/4 mm or ¼ in can be
tted.
Wall-mounted eld housings are supplied
with Swagelok™ or stainless steel ttings (ø
6/4 mm or ¼ in) ausgestattet.
Other materials available on request.
X-STREAM X2FD units are always supplied
with ame arrestors and stainless steel ttings
(ø 6/4 mm or ¼ in).
1.2.4 Pipework
Unless otherwise specied, the analyzers
are supplied with Viton® or PVDF piping (ø
6/4 mm or ¼ in). Other materials (e.g. stain-
less steel) can be used, depending on the
application.
1.2.5 Infallible Containments
Infallible containments are gas lines which,
due to their design, can be regarded as per-
manently technically tight. This is achieved
by, for example, welded joints, or metallically
sealing joints (e.g. tap connectors and bin-
ders), providing they are seldom disconnec-
ted. Gas lines congured in this manner can
be used for measuring noxious, ammable
and explosive gases. At the time of going
to press, infallible containments for thermal
conductivity analysis (TC) are available; other
analysis methods are projected. Further in-
formation about infallible containments can
be found in the separate instruction manual
supplied with these units.
Infallible containments do not
render it unnecessary to test for
leaks regularly, e.g. following
lengthy breaks in service, substantial alterations, repairs and
modications.
Read the separate instruction
manual giving detailed instructions on the conguration, operation and maintenance of units
fitted with infallible containments.

1.2 Conguration of Gas Lines
1.2.6 Optional Components for Gas Lines
X-STREAM X2
The analyzers can, as an option, be tted with
further components. Not all components are
available for all analyzer types:
• internal sample gas pump
• internal valve block
• internal ow sensors
• internal ow monitor switch
• internal barometric pressure meters
• internal temperature sensors.
1.2.6.1 Internal Sample Gas Pump
An internal sample gas pump is used when
the sample gas is under insufcient pressure.
It ensures a constant ow of sample gas (max.
2.5 l/min through the analyzer).
When in internal pump is tted, the relevant
parameter in the software setup dialog is set
to Yes ( 6.2.3.5, page 6-43). The pump
can be controlled either manually through a
software menu or optionally by a digital input.
1.2.6.2 Internal Valve Block
The use of an internal valve block allows all
necessary gas lines (zero gas, span gas,
sample gas) to remain permanently connected to the analyzer. Valves are then activated
automatically when required (e.g. during au-
tomatic calibration).
When an internal valve block is tted, this is
shown in the relevant software setup dialog
as either Internal or Int+Ext (
page 6-43). The valves are controlled by
either a software menu, optionally by digital
input, or automatically during autocalibration.
Depending on the model, up to two valve
bocks can be tted.
6.2.3.5,
1.2.6.3 Internal Flow Sensor
Up to two internal ow sensors can measure
the ow of gas and can activate an alarm si-
gnal in the event of a failure. The alarm level
for ow sensors is operator adjustable to up
to 2000 ml/min. Depending on the model, up
to two sensors can be tted and evaluated
separately.
When a sensor is tted, the relevant parame-
ter in the software setup dialog is set to Yes
(
6.2.3.5, page 6-43).
If the current ow rate is too low, a status
message is displayed and the parameter
under CHECK REQUESTS.. is set to Yes
( Chapter 8 “Troubleshooting”).
1.2.6.4 Internal Flow Monitor Switch
An internal ow switch monitors the gas ow
and activates an alarm signal in case it is not
sufcient. The alarm level for the internal ow
switch is xed and not operator adjustable.
Additional external switches may used and
connected via digital inputs. All tted ow
switches are evaluated to share a common
alarm.
When an internal ow switch is tted, the relevant parameter in the software setup dialog
is set to Yes (
If the current ow rate is too low, a status
message is displayed and the parameter
under CHECK REQUESTS.. is set to Yes
( Chapter 8 “Troubleshooting”).

The inuence of varying temperatures can
be compensated for by the use of internal
temperature sensors (
measurement
specication, page 3-17 ).
Depending on the conguration of the unit or
the demands of the application, temperature
sensors can measure the unit’s internal temperature or selected measurement channel
components.
If such sensors are installed in the unit, this is
indicated in the installed options menu (
6.2.3.5, page 6-43).

1.2 Conguration of Gas Lines
The physical components can be optionally
separated from the electrical components
by means of a special box (not an option for
½ 19 in units). This can be done for one or
both of the following purposes:
Firstly, the box allows the physical components to be regulated to a temperature of ap-
prox. 60°C, avoiding condensation of gases
or the inuence of varying environmental
temperatures.
Secondly, the box can be purged with, for
example, inert gas. The purge gas is rst fed
through a separate tting, purges the elec-
tronic components, then oods the box and
leaves the instrument via another tting.
Purging in this manner can be useful when
measuring very low concentrations (e.g. of
CO or CO
): the expulsion of ambient air
2
avoids adulterant outside inuences.
Alternatively, purging can be used to secure
enhanced protection for electronic parts and
operators from corrosive or toxic gases: any
leaking gas is expelled from the housing and
does not escape into the vicinity of the unit or
come into contact with any electronic compo-
nents located outside the box.
In either case, the purge gas outlet should be
connected to an exhaust gas line.

X-STREAM X2
1.3 Interfaces
All analyzer types are tted with one analog
electrical output for each channel and four
status relays as standard.
As an option, further interfaces can be added.
1.3.1 Analog Outputs
Each X-STREAM analyzer is tted with one
output per channel as standard, which can
transmit data on concentration levels to an
external data acquisition system.
The mode of operation (e.g. 4-20 mA,
0-20 mA) and support for NAMUR NE 43
specications (incl. Live Zero) can be set in a
software menu ( 5.7.4, page 5-20).
The factory setting for analog outputs is
4-20 mA.
Depending on the unit conguration, all in-
terfaces are accessible via either SubminD
connectors or screw terminals
.
X-STREAM analyzers support up to four analog outputs, which, however, do not always
need to be assigned to measurement channels which are physically present: if a unit has
less than four channels, the remaining analog
outputs can be used to transmit concentration
levels with a different resolution; for example,
a single-channel analyzer could be set up as
follows:
Output 1: 0…100 % CO
Output 2: 0…25 % CO
= 4…20 mA
2
= 4…20 mA

1.3.2 Status Relays
By default, the four relays are congured to
signal the current status of the unit according
to the
NAMUR NE 44 recommendations
(“Failure”, “Maintenance request”, “Out of
specication” and “Function check”). Howe-
ver , the operator can assign different functions
to the relays via software menus. For more
The contacts, which can take a maximum load
of 30 V at 1 A and 30 W, can be operated as
normally open or normally closed.

The NE 44 status is also indicated by the
LEDs on the front panel. These LEDs remain
conformant to NE 44 even when the status
relays are assigned different functions by the
software.

1.3 Interfaces
1.3.3 Optional Interfaces
1.3.3.1 Modbus Interface, Serial
A serial interface with the Modbus protocol
allows communication with external data ac-
quisition systems. The interface enables the
exchange and modication of measurement
and analyzer signals as well as the remote
activation of procedures.
The RS 485 interface is electrically isolated
from the unit’s electronic components and
facilitates the construction of a network of
several analyzers.
Optionally, an RS 232 interface can also be
used (and is also electrically isolated from
the unit’s electronic components; however,
it only allows communication between two
end devices.

1.3.3.2 Modbus Interface, Ethernet
The Ethernet Modbus interface offers the
same form of comunication with a data acquisition system as does a serial interface.
The most obvious difference is the plug-and-
socket connection: the Ethernet interface
uses an RJ45 socket.
This interface is also electrically isolated from
the unit’s electronic components and enables the construction of a network of several
analyzers.
All supported Modbus parameters are listed
in chapter 9.

1.3.3.3 Digital Outputs
X-STREAM X2
1.3 Interfaces
Digital outputs can be used for various purposes:
• Issuing concentration alarms: Process
control systems can detect when limits
are exceeded and trigger appropriate
actions.
• Switching external components: For ex-
ample, during automatic calibration, the
necessary valves can be activated directly
by the analyzer.
1.3.3.4 Digital Inputs
Digital inputs can:
• trigger calibration procedures, for example
by a process control system
• remotely control valves and the optional
sample gas pump (in concert with correctly
congured digital outputs).
Digital inputs can be integrated into the units
in groups of 7 or 14 (
1.4, page 1-12).
Digital outputs can be integrated into the units
in groups of 9 or 18 (
1.4, page 1-12).
The relay contacts, which can take a maxi-
mum load of 30 V at 1 A and 30 W, can be
operated as normally open (NO) or normally
closed (NC).

02/2012
This compact model for general purposes
can be tted with up to three measurement
channels in various combinations. Power is
supplied by an internal wide range power sup-
ply or a separate external power supply unit.
By default the units are congured for tabletop
use. A carrying handle is optional available
which makes it easy to take the instrument to
varying sampling points. For rack mounting a
X2GK is xed by screws located at the front
panel.
Front panel
The analyzer’s front panel consists of one
4x20-character alphanumeric LCD display, a
membrane keyboard and three status LEDs
(Fig. 1-4). The colors of the LEDs are based on
the NAMUR NE 44 specications. The LEDs
are activated according to the NE 107 standards and correspond to the following status
messages: “Failure”, “Function check”, “Out of
specication” and “Maintenance request”.
Connection to power supply
AC is supplied by an IEC chassis plug with
power switch and fuse holders. The internal
wide range power supply unit enables the
analyzers to be used worldwide. DC 24 V
power is supplied via a 3-pin socket at the
rear of the unit.
Interfaces
The electrical connections for interface sig-
nals are provided via submin-D connectors,
also mounted at the back of the unit (Fig. 1-4).
For applications where screw-type terminals
are preferred for connecting signal wires, op-
tional adapters are available, which are moun-
ted directly onto the submin-D connectors.
pin submin-D socket terminal strip is always
included, providing one analog output (4-20
or 0-20 mA) and the contacts for the four
NAMUR status relays.
Further analog outputs can also be provided,
e.g. to provide a measurement signal at different resolutions. A maximum of four analog
outputs are possible.
A serial Modbus interface can also be installed
on request (RS 232 or RS 485 with Modbus
RTU protocol, via 9-pin submin-D male con-
nector
); alternatively an RJ45 socket can also
give access to Ethernet-Modbus-TCP.
Digital inputs and outputs can be used to
control analyzer functions and external
components. The 7 inputs and 9 outputs are
connected to peripheral devices via a 37-pole
submin-D socket terminal strip.
Detailed technical details on the various inter-
faces can be found in
1.3, page 1-9. The
conguration of the connectors are described
in chapter 4 “Installation” and the software settings in chapter 6 “Software”.
A further submin-D socket, which is not in
detail described in this manual, is also located
at the rear of the unit, and is designated as a
Service Interface.
The Service Interface is electrically connected to the unit’s
electronic components. If it is
incorrectly handled, damage to
the unit may result.
The Service Interface may only
be used by EMERSON service
personnel or specially trained
staff.

Gas connections
Depending on the conguration of the unit
(number of measurement channels and serial
or parallel connection), sample and calibra-
tion gases are fed into the unit via up to 8
tube ttings mounted on the rear panel. The
conguration of the ttings is indicated on an
adhesive label located near the tube ttings.
Any free tube ttings can be used for purging
the device with
•
inert gas to minimize interference from the
ambient atmosphere when measuring small
concentrations (e.g. of CO
)
2
or
•
air or inert gas when measuring corrosive
and/or ammable gases.
For further information, see page 1-5.
Special components
For the analysis of aggressive and/or am-
mable gases, infallible components (WLD;
photometer under development) can be used.
The risk of an uncontrolled release of gases
due to a leak can be minimized by the use
of stainless steel piping and clamping rings.
Further details about the infallible containment are in the separate manual supplied with
units containing such parts.
Furthermore, intrinsically safe measuring
cells, which prevent the ignition of gas mix-
tures in the case of a failure, can also be
used.
Modul variation XCC
The ½19-in unit is also available as an ana-½19-in unit is also available as an analyzer module without the front control panel,
which can, for example, be integrated into a
measuring system in which control and ana-
lysis of data is performed via interface by an
external data acquisition system.

1.7 X-STREAM X2XF: Field Housing With (XLF) Single Or (XXF) Dual Compartment
02/2012
Field housings are conceived for outdoor use
and wall-mounting. The coated stainless steel
housing has a protection class rated at IP66
/ NEMA 4X, offering protection against water
and dust entering the device:
IPx6: In case of occasional ooding, e.g.
heavy seas, water shall not enter in harmful
quantities
IP6x: Protection against penetration by dust.
Live or internal moving parts are completely
protected.
An X-STREAM eld housing can be tted with
up to four measurement channels in any com-
bination. The physical components can op-
tionally be encased in a cover. This separate
volume can be held at a specic temperature
of up to 60 °C to minimize interference from
changes in external temperature.
Front panel
The analyzer’s front panel consists of one
4x20-character alphanumeric LC display, a
membrane keyboard and three status LEDs
(Fig. 1- 6).
The colors of the LEDs are based on
the NAMUR NE 44 specications. The LEDs
are activated according to the NE 107 standards and correspond to the following status
messages: “Failure”, “Function check”, “Out of
specication” and “Maintenance request”.
A vacuum uorescent display can be tted
instead of the LCD, making the information
displayed more easily readable in low light-
levels. The display is covered by an impact te-
sted glass to protect it in harsh environments.
Electrical connections
Electrical connections are provided via inter-
nal tube ttings, the cables being fed through
cable glands at the right side of the unit (Fig.
1-8). The front cover of the housing swings
open to the left once the fasteners have been
released.
Connection to power supply
Mains power is supplied via the screw-type
terminals with integrated fuse holders at the
right of the housing, near the front. The wide
range power supply unit mounted internally
enables the analyzers to be used worldwide.
Interface signals
In the basic conguration, the unit has 36 internal screw-type terminals for interface signals,
providing one analog output (4[0]-20 mA)
and the contacts for the four (NAMUR) status relays. Further analog outputs can also
be provided, e.g. to provide a measurement
signal at different resolutions. A maximum of
four analog outputs is possible.
A serial Modbus interface can also be installed
on request (RS 232 or RS 485 with Modbus
RTU protocol
); alternatively an RJ45 socket
gives access to Ethernet-Modbus-TCP.
Digital inputs and outputs can be used to
control analyzer functions and external
components. The 7 inputs and 9 outputs are
connected to peripheral devices via a further
36-terminal strip. The number of digital inputs
and outputs can be doubled (to 14 inputs and
18 outputs) by adding a second card and an
additional 36-terminal strip.

can be used. The risk of an uncontrolled
release of gases due to a leak can be mi-
nimized by the use of stainless steel piping
and clamping rings. Further details about the
infallible containment are in the separate ma-
nual supplied with units containing such parts.
Furthermore, intrinsically safe measuring
cells, which prevent the ignition of gas mixtu-
res in the case of a failure, can also be used.

The most obvious X-STREAM 2FD analyzer
feature is its ameproof housing (Fig. 1-10).
This enables its use in Ex-zone 1 hazardous
environments. With its protection type of IP66/
NEMA 4X and sturdy cast aluminum housing
designed for wall-mounting, it can also be
used in other tough environments.
IPx6: In case of occasional ooding, e.g.
heavy seas, water shall not enter in harmful
quantities
IP6x: Protection against penetration by dust.
Live or internal moving parts are completely
protected.
Up to four measuring channels in any com-
bination can be installed in the X-STREAM
X2FD. Optionally, a cover can be installed
over the physical components. This separa-
te volume can be heated up to a maximum
temperature of 60 °C to minimize the effects
of changes in external temperature.

analog outputs can also be provided, e.g. to
provide a measurement signal at different resolutions. A maximum of four analog outputs
is possible.
A serial Modbus interface can also be installed
on request (RS 232 or RS 485 with Modbus
RTU protocol
); alternatively also access to
Ethernet-Modbus-TCP. In this case the RS
interface signals are routed to the appropriate
number (up to 5) of the 36 terminals.
Digital inputs and outputs can be used to
control analyzer functions and external
components. The 7 inputs and 9 outputs are
connected to peripheral devices via a further
36-terminal strip. The number of digital inputs
and outputs can be doubled (to 14 inputs and
18 outputs) by adding a second card and an
additional 36-terminal strip.
Detailed technical information on the various
interfaces can be found in
1.3, page 1-9
The conguration of the terminals is described
in chapter 4 “Installation” and the software
settingsinchapter 6 “Software”.
A further submin-D socket, which is not in
detail described in this manual, is also located
at the rear of the unit, and is designated as a
Service Interface.
The Service Interface is electrically connected to the unit’s
electronic components. If it is
incorrectly handled, damage to
the unit may result.
The Service Interface may only
be used by EMERSON service
personnel or specially trained
staff
ded for the supply of sample and calibration
gases. The assignments of the connectors is
given on an adhesive label situated near the
connectors.
Optional two of the ttings may be used to
purge the housing with either
• inert gas to minimize interference from
ambient atmospheres when measuring
very small concentrations (e.g. CO
)

Measuring Principles
X-STREAM series analyzers support several
measuring principles depending on the gas
component of interest. This provides best
possible results, as the measurement can be
chosen to optimally t the characteristics of
the gas to be measured with respect to the ap-
plication. The following sections introduce the
available measuring principles highlighting
their specic characteristics.
types of non-dispersive measurements, differing in the way, wavelength selectivity is
accomplished. It is essential for gas specic
concentration measurements, to selectively
detect only light of the absorption line wavelengths of the gas of interest. T ypically a gas
selective detector is used for NDIR measurements,
is achieved by an additional optical lter, as
the detector itself is broadband sensitive. In
some applications, a pyrodetector is used for
NDIR measurements. This type of detectors
is not wavelength selective, hence these se-
tups also use an optical lter to narrow their
wavelength response function.
The assembly of a NDIR and NDUV channel
is shown in
3-3. For NDUV the selectivity
Fig. 3-3. For NDIR a broad-
band IR light source is used to generate the
light, while NDUV measurements utilize a UV
narrowband uorescence source or an EDL
(Electrodeless Discharge Lamp), already
adopted for the absorption lines of the gas
of interest. Part of this adoption is done by a
specially selected optical lter in the adaptor
cell.
The diameter of the light beam emitted from
the sources is adjusted to completely ll the
opening of the split analysis cell. After traversing the analysis cell, the light passes through
a lter cell which adjusts the beam diameter to
the chopper opening and the diameter of the
active detector area. The chopper wheel used
is designed to allow an intrinsically referenced
measurement. The details of this new method
are described in
The decision, which measurement (UV / IR)
to be used for a specic application depends
on the gas component to be measured, and
the required measurement performance.
3.1.1 IntrinzX Technology
The IntrinzX technology is an enhancement of
the well established “proof peak” technology
with automatic sensitivity control, known from
the MLT gas analyzer series. While the “proof
peak” provided one reference measurement
per chopper wheel revolution only , the IntrinzX
technology provides four reference measurements per revolution. This IntrinzX technology
has been introduced into the market with the
launch of the X-STREAM X2 gas analyzers.
Using the new IntrinzX chopper wheel, the
reference and the measurement signal are
modulated with 4 and 5 times the basic revolution frequency. As a result, the proof peak

process is integrated into the measurement
information, in contrast to being articially
inserted in the measurement signal.
Frequency ltering separates the sum signal
into measurement and reference signal (
Fig. 3-1). This results in a permanently
referenced signal by dividing the integrated
reference level by the integrated measure-
ment level for each revolution.
Therefore the IntrinzX technology provides
many outstanding features:
• High dynamic measurement ranges (e.g.
0-200 to 50,000 ppm CO), which cannot
be obtained with standard photometric
technologies
• Reduced temperature dependency
• High sensitivity for lowest measuring
ranges
This leads to cost saving effects for the customer:
• Fewer number of benches & cells
• Easier eld repair and replacement of
parts
• Easy adjustment of low measuring ranges
in the eld
• Reduced maintenance
• Extended span calibration intervals
• Minimized demand for test gases
Due to the inherent correlation between refe-
rence and measurement side, span calibrati-
on can often be achieved by zero calibration.
The above listed IntrinzX features offer a
high degree of exibility with regards to ap-
plications:
• One bench enables measurements of low
& high ranges
• Low & high concentration in raw and clean
gases
• Low and high ranges before and after
scrubbers
• Measurement of carbon bed breakthrough /
catalyst efciency
• Mobile measurements at different samp-
ling points / locations
• Easy adaption to different applications
(universities, laboratories)
• Supports automotive engine testing
• Benches to be used in TOC applications
for measurements of low and high carbon
content

3.1 Infrared (IR) and Ultraviolet (UV) Measurement
3.1.2 NDIR Detector
X-STREAM X2
The standard detector used for NDIR
measurements is an opto pneumatic detector.
It consists of two chambers, lled with gas and
connected via a small channel ( Fig. 3-2).
The gas lling is chosen to provide maximum
overlap with the gas to be measured. Usually
the gas to be measured itself is used.
A micro ow sensor, placed in the connecting
channel, measures the ow between both
chambers. As light is absorbed by the gas in
the absorption chamber, the gas temperature
changes. This results in an increase of volume
of the heated gas: The gas expands and ows
towards the compensation chamber. When
the chopper closes, no light is absorbed and
thus temperature and volume of the gas in
the absorption chamber decrease. Gas ows
back from the (now) hotter compensation
chamber into the absorption chamber. The
absolute ow, detected by the micro ow sen-
sor, in both cases is therefore a measure for
the light absorbed while the chopper is open.
This directly correlates to the amount of light
not absorbed in the analysis cell and therefore
to the concentration of the measurement gas
inside the analysis cell.
Using the divided analysis cell and the IntrinzX
chopper wheel, this enables simultaneous detection of measurement and reference signal.

3.2 Oxygen Measurement
X-STREAM X2
3.2 Oxygen Measurement
Two different principles are used for measuring oxygen concentrations. The currently
used principle is given by the channel code
(sample gas designator) on the nameplate
label (
see gure on page 2-21):
pO2 = paramagnetical sensor
eO2 = electrochemical sensor
3.2.1 Paramagnetic Measurement
Oxygen measurement is based on the para-
magnetical characteristics of oxygen molecules:
Two nitrogen lled quartz spheres (N
is not
2
paramagnetic) are arranged in a dumbbell
conguration and, hinged to a platinum wire,
placed inside a cell. Fixed to the wire a small
mirror reects a light beam to a photo detector
(g. 3-7).
The measuring cell is placed inside an in-
homogeneous magnetical eld generated
by a strong permanent magnet of specic
design.
Oxygen molecules within the sample gas now
due to their paramagnetical characteristics
are deected into the area of highest eld
strength. This generates different forces on
both spheres and the resulting torque turns
dumbbell and mirror out of the rest position.
This generates a photodetector signal becau-
se the beam is deected, too.
Initiated by the photodetector signal a pre-
amplifier drives a compensation current
through a loop surrounding the dumbbell to
turn back the dumbbell into the rest position
by effect of a magnetic eld
So the current compensating the torque
affec-ting the dumbbell is a direct measure for
the oxygen concentration within the sample
gas.
In addition to measuring cell, permanent
magnet, electronics and enclosure the paramagnetic oxygen detector contains a temperature sensor and a heating element to hold
the detector at approx. 55 °C.
Several variations are available including
corrosion resistant, solvent resistant and/or
intrinsically safe (for measuring ammable
gases) versions.

In consequence of its design the sensor‘s
lifetime is limited and depends on theoretical
designed life and oxygen concentration. The
sensor output can be taken as a rough criterion for end of lifetime: The sensor is weared
when the output in atmosphere is below 70 %
of the initial output. The period till this can be
calculated by

The sensor‘s designed lifetime under constant
conditions of ambient temperature 20 °C is
approx. 900,000 % hrs.
The lifetime at 21 % oxygen is then calculated
to approx. 42,857 hrs, corresponding to
approx. 5 years.
An indicator for end of lifetime is a reduced
output signal. In this case the sensor must be
replaced to ensure accurate measurements
(
Chapter 7 "Maintenance").
Note!
The given values are for reference only! The
expected lifetime is greatly affected by the
temperature of the environment in which the
sensor is used or stored (operation at 40 °C
halves lifetime).
Increases or decreases in atmospheric pressure have the same effect as increasing or
decreasing oxygen concentrations.

3.2 Oxygen Measurement
Due to the measuring principle the electrochemical oxygen cell requires a minimum
internal consumption of oxygen (residual
humidity avoids drying of the cell). Supplying
cells continuously with dry sample gas of low
grade oxygen concentration or with sample
gas free of oxygen could result in a reversible
detuning of O
sensitivity. The output signal
2
will become unstable, but response time remains constant.
For correct measurement the cell needs con-
tinuously to be supplied with concentrations
of at least 0.1 Vol.-% O
. We recommend to
2
use the cells if need be in alternating mode,
means to purge cells with conditioned (not
dried, but dust removed) ambient air when
measurement pauses.
If it is necessary to interrupt oxygen supply
for several hours or days, the cell has to re-
generate (supply cell for about one day with
ambient air). Temporary ushing with nitrogen
(N
) for less than 1 h (e.g. for analyzer zero-
2
ing purpose) has no inuence on measuring
characteristics.This sensor is not suitable
for anorganic gases containing chlorene or
ourene!
In addition it is not suitable for sample ga-
ses containing ozone, H
S (> 100 ppm) or
2
NH3 (> 20 ppm).
For a number of other interfering gases see
Tab. 3-4.
If the X2GP analyzer features a thermostate
control, the eO2 sensor block is installed at
the X2GP rear panel.

3.2.3 Electrochemical Trace Oxygen Measurement
X-STREAM X2
For trace oxygen measurements (tO
electrochemical sensor technology is used,
see Fig. 3-9. The sensor is a self contained
disposable unit which requires no maintenance. The sensor utilizes the principle of
electrochemical reaction to generate a signal
proportional to the oxygen concentration in
the sample.
Fig. 3.9 Trace Oxygen sensor design principle
The sensor consists of a cathode and anode
which are in contact via a suitable electrolyte.
The sensor has a gas permeable membrane
which covers the cathode allowing gas to
pass into the sensor while preventing liquid
electrolyte from leaking out.
As the sample diffuses into the sensor, any
oxygen present will dissolve in the electrolyte solution and migrate to the surface of
the cathode. The oxygen is reduced at the
cathode. Simultaneously, an oxidation reaction is occurring at the anode generating four
electrons. These electrons ow to the cathode
to reduce the oxygen.
The representative half cell reactions are:

This ow of electrons constitutes an electric
current which is directly proportional to the
concentration of oxygen present in the sam-
ple. In the absence of oxygen, no oxidation/
reduction reaction occurs and therefore no
current is generated. This allows the sensor
to have an absolute zero.
3.2.3.1 Special Hints
This sensor is a consumable
and requires replacement periodically. (To determine if the
sensor requires replacement,
see the troubleshooting section
of this manual)
Remaining lifetime counts down
when the sensor is in contact
with oxygen.
For above reasons, the analyzer
is shipped with the sensor as
extra item in a sealed bag!
The sensor must be installed
before analyzer startup, according the instructions shipped
with the sensor!
Always consult the separate
instructions, shipped with the
sensor, before intending to start
calibrations! Violation may result in a damaged sensor!

cause extended start up time, reduction of

remove the sealing caps until all associated
sample handling components are installed
and the instrument is fully ready for installation.
After replacement purge gas paths with inert
gas (nitrogen (N
) or sample gas as soon as
2
possible to avoid prolonged exposure of the
sensor to high concentrations of oxygen. The
longer the sensor is exposed to air , the longer
it will take for the sensor to recover to low
ppm levels. When installing a new sensor or
starting the instrument for the rst time, it may
take as long as eight hours for the analyzer
to purge down to the lowest operating range.
After initial startup or startup following a prolonged shutdown, the analyzer may require
extended time to recover to the range of
measurement. Commonly, this is caused by
the introduction of ambient air into the sample
and/or vent lines to the sensor. The presence
of higher than normal levels of oxygen at the
sensor will cause the sensor electrolyte to become saturated with dissolved oxygen. When
the instrument is placed in operation, the sensor must now consume all excess dissolved
oxygen above the desired measuring level.
All analyzers with electrochemical tO
have to be purged with inert gas (Nitrogen, N

prior to disconnecting the gas lines! Then the
gas line ttings have to be closed for transport
or depositing the analyzer.
While handling the sensor,
always consider the documentation provided together with
the sensor , especially the information on the included material
(safety data) in the attachment
of the documentation!

3.3 Thermal Conductivity Measurement
3.3 Thermal Conductivity Measurement
X-STREAM X2
Thermal conductivity is the property of a ma-
terial that indicates its ability to conduct heat.
Thermal conductivity measurement primarily is used for measuring concentrations of
hydrogen (H
) and helium (He). These gases
2
are characterized by a specic thermal conducitivity, differing clearly from that of other
gases ( table 3-5).
default the reference gas path is closed (not
own through by gas). When sample gas is
supplied, the sensors in the sample gas path
are cooled due to the thermal conductivity ef-
fect: The gas absorbs heat and carries it away
from the sensors. This tunes the Wheatstone
bridge and generates a signal proportional to
the thermal conductivity.
Additional electronics linearizes and conditi-
ons this signal to provide usefull measuring
values.Depending on application, it is possib-
le to supply a reference gas to the bridge‘s
reference side. The output signal in this case
is proportional to the difference of the thermal
conductivities of sample and reference gas.

A block made either of aluminum, stainless
steel or hastelloy contains two gas paths.
Both, the volume of the block and the mass
of the sensors have been minimized in order
to obtain short response times. To suppress
inuences by changing ambient tempera-
ture the block is thermostatted and isolated
against ambience.
The sensors are fully glass packaged to withstand aggressive gases.

The dew point

cooled, at constant barometric pressure, for
water vapor to condense into water. The condensed water is called dew. The dew point is

Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the
air. Relative humidity is dened as the ratio
of the partial pressure of water vapor (in a
gaseous mixture of air and water vapor) to
the saturated vapor pressure of water at a
given temperature.
The dew point is associated with relative humidity. A high relative humidity indicates
that the dew point is closer to the current air
temperature. Relative humidity of 100 % indicates the dew point is equal to the current
temperature and the air is maximally saturated with water. If the dew point remains
constant and temperature increases, relative
humidity will decrease.

How does dew point measurement connect
with trace moisture measurement?
The lower the dew point of a gas, the less is
the content of moisture within that gas.

3.4.1 Special Operating Conditions
The sensor is completely calibrated with all
calibration data stored in its ash memory and
does not require recalibration:
• If the sensor is included into a calibra-
tion procedure, it might end up with a
wrong calibration and unusable sensor.
Therefore the analyzer's trace moisture
measurement channel is congured to be
excluded from autocalibration procedures,
by default calibrating all channels. This
exclusion is done by factory setup and
cannot be changed.
• For proper measurement results we re-
commend to exchange the sensor regularly after 12 months of operation.

For NDIR/UV/VIS measurements, take into account that
• sample gas may diffuse or be released by leakages into the analyzer enclosure
• if existent in the analyzer surroundings, the component to be measured may enter the enclosure.
Concentrations then may increase inside the enclosure. High concentrations of the component
to be measured inside the enclosure may inuence the measurement by unintended absorption,
which could cause drift of the measurement.
A remedy for this issue is to purge the housing with gas not containing the component of interest.
