Chapter 1. Installation

1.1 Introduction

Users typically install the moisture.IQ as part of a complex process system, which includes components such as filters, pumps, and pressure regulators. In such an environment, probes and other parts of the system may be subjected to environmental hazards, such as high temperature, pressure extremes, corrosive elements and mechanical vibrations.

This section contains information and instructions for installing the moisture.IQ into a process system, while taking into account all of the above factors. The following section describes how to set up and connect the moisture.IQ.

If you have questions about the installation procedures, contact our technical support department. See the rear cover of this manual for contact information.

1.2 Unpacking the moisture.IQ

Before beginning the installation, unpack the unit and make sure all the parts and documentation listed on the packing slip are included. Be sure to inspect each piece of equipment, including the sample system, for evidence of mishandling. If anything has been damaged or is missing, report this to the carrier and to BHGE immediately.

1.3 Installing the moisture.IQ

Chapter 1. Installation

1.4 Choosing an Installation Site

You should have discussed environmental and installation factors with a BHGE applications engineer or field sales person by the time you receive the meter. The equipment provided should be suited to your application and installation site.

The moisture.IQ is available in rack-mount, bench top, or panel-mount versions that are suitable for most indoor installations. BHGE also provides weatherproof and explosion-proof housings for outdoor and hazardous area locations. See the drawings in the Certification and Safety Statements at the end of this manual for details of each enclosure.

Before installing the unit, read the guidelines below to verify that you have selected the best installation site.

1.4.1 General Site Guidelines

• Choose an installation site for the probes and sample systems that is as close to the process line as

possible. Avoid long lengths of connecting tubing. If long distances are unavoidable, a fast sampling by-pass loop is recommended. Do not install any other components, such as filters, upstream from the probes or sample system unless instructed to do so by BHGE.

• Observe all normal safety precautions. Use the probes within their maximum pressure and

temperature ratings.

• Although the moisture.IQ may not need to be accessed during normal operation, install the electronics

unit at a convenient location for programming, testing and servicing. A control room or instrument shed are typical locations.

• Locate the electronics unit away from high temperatures, strong electrical transients, mechanical

vibrations, corrosive atmospheres, and any other conditions that could damage or interfere with the meter operation. See Chapter 9. “Specifications” on page 99 for environmental limits.

• Protect the probe cables from excessive physical strain (e.g., bending, pulling, twisting, etc.).

• Observe the proper cable restrictions for the probes. You can locate Moisture Image Series probes up to

915 m (3000 ft) from the electronics unit with unshielded twisted-pair cable. M-Series probes can be located up to 600 m (2000 ft) from the unit with the use of specially shielded cable.

1.4.2 Low Voltage Directive

If the power mains switch on the unit remains accessible to the user after installation a disconnect device is not required. However, if installation blocks access to the power mains switch, compliance with the EU Low Voltage Directive (IEC 61010) requires an external power disconnect device such as a switch or circuit breaker. The disconnect device must be marked as such, clearly visible, directly accessible, and located within

1.8 m (6 ft) of the unit.

Chapter 1. Installation

1.5 Moisture Probe Considerations

The M-Series and Moisture Image Series probes consist of an aluminum oxide sensor mounted on a connector head. Standard probe mounts include a protective stainless steel shield.

The probe sensor materials and housing maximize durability and insure a minimum of water absorbing surfaces in the vicinity of the aluminum oxide surface. A sintered stainless steel shield is used to protect the sensor from high flow rates and particulate matter. The end cap should not be removed except upon advice from BHGE.

The sensor has been designed to withstand normal shock and vibration. You should make sure that the active sensor surface is never touched or allowed to come into direct contact with foreign objects, since this may adversely affect performance.

Observing these few simple precautions will result in a long and useful probe life. BHGE recommends that probe calibration be checked routinely, at 12-month intervals, or as recommended by our applications engineers for your particular application.

The probe will measure the water vapor pressure in its immediate vicinity. Therefore, readings will be influenced by its proximity to the system walls, materials of construction, and other environmental factors.The sensor can be operated under vacuum or pressure and under flowing or static conditions.

See the following sections for the recommended environmental precautions.

1.5.1 Temperature Range

See “Probe Specifications” on page 105, for details.

1.5.2 Moisture Condensation

Be sure the temperature is at least 10°C higher than the dew/frost point temperature. If this condition is not maintained, moisture condensation could occur on the sensor or in the sample system, which will cause reading errors. If this happens, dry out the probe following the procedures outlined in BHGE document #916-064, Basic Hygrometry Principles.

1.5.3 Static or Dynamic Use

The sensor performs equally well in still air or where considerable flow occurs. Its small size makes it ideal for measuring moisture conditions within completely sealed containers or dry boxes. It will also perform well under gas flow conditions as high as 10,000 cm/sec and liquid flow conditions up to 10 cm/sec. Refer to BHGE document #916-064, Basic Hygrometry Principles, for maximum flow rates in gases and liquids.

moisture.IQ User’s Manual 3

Page 16

Chapter 1. Installation

1.5.4 Pressure Range

The moisture probe always senses the correct water vapor pressure regardless of the total ambient pressure. The moisture sensor measures water vapor under vacuum or high pressure conditions from as little as a few microns of Hg to as high as 5000 psi total pressure.

1.5.5 Long-Term Storage & Operational Stability

Sensors are not affected by continuous abrupt humidity changes or damaged by exposure to saturation conditions even when stored. However, you should store probes in their original shipping containers in a clean, dry location. If the probe is saturated during storage, refer to “Moisture Condensation” on page 3 before installing the probe. For best performance, do not store probes longer than one to two years from their calibration date.

1.5.6 Interference Effects

The sensor is completely unaffected by the presence of a wide variety of gases or organic liquids. Large concentrations of hydrocarbon gases, Freon effect on sensor water vapor indications. The sensor will operate properly in a multitude of gaseous or non-conductive liquid environments.

, ozone, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen have no

1.5.7 Corrosive Materials

Avoid all materials that are corrosive or otherwise damaging to aluminum or aluminum oxide. These include strongly acidic or basic materials and primary amines.

1.6 Sample System Guidelines

A sample system is required for oxygen measurement and, although not mandatory, is highly recommended for moisture measurement. The purpose of a sample system is to condition or control a sample stream to within the specifications of a probe. The application requirements determine the design of the sample system. BHGE applications engineers will make recommendations based on the following general guidelines.

1.6.1 Moisture Sample Systems

Typically, sample systems should be kept very simple. They should contain as few components as possible and all or most of those components should be located downstream of the measurement probe. Figure 1 below shows an example of a basic sample system consisting of an explosion-proof housing with a sample cell, a filter, a flow meter, a vent valve, an inlet shut-off valve and an outlet shut-off valve.

The sample system components should not be made of any material that will affect measurements. A sample system may include a filter to remove particulates from the sample stream or a pressure regulator to reduce or control the pressure of the stream. However, most common filters and pressure regulators are not suitable for sample systems because they have wetted parts that may absorb or release components (such as moisture) into the sample stream. They may also allow ambient contamination to enter the sample stream. In general, you should use stainless steel construction for all wetted parts. Contact BHGE for further instructions.

Chapter 1. Installation

1.6.2 Oxygen Sample Systems

Oxygen sample systems are required and can be ordered from BHGE for bench or wall mounting. You can also build your own sample system by using the following guidelines.

IMPORTANT: The BHGE warranty will be voided if the sample system does not have a relief valve.

The basic sample system requirements are as follows (see Figure 2 below):

• The oxygen cell requires a sample gas flow of 0.5 to 1 LPM (1 to 2 SCFH).

• The gas pressure in the sample cell must be between 0.0 and 1.0 psig. The pressure must not exceed

1.0 psig.

• A 10 psig pressure relief valve installed upstream of the oxygen cell is required to prevent

over-pressure.

• A flow meter is required to measure the flow.

• A pressure gauge is required to measure the pressure.

• A flow regulating or needle valve is required and should be located upstream of the sample cell.

• A pressure regulator is required for sample gas supplies of 50 psig or greater.

If a sample pump is required to draw a sample to the oxygen cell, the pump should be installed downstream from the oxygen cell. You must also install a vacuum relief valve set at 1.0 psig between the oxygen cell and the pump.

1.7 Mounting the Hygrometer System

Mounting the hygrometer system consists of mounting the electronics unit, the probes, and the sample systems.

1.7.1 Mounting the Electronics Unit

Use the outline and dimension drawings in the Certification and Safety Statements at the end of this manual to mount the moisture.IQ. These drawings provide clearance and other mounting dimensions needed to prepare the site for mounting.

WARNING! If the power mains switch on the unit remains accessible to the user after installation, a disconnect device is not required. However, if the installation blocks access to the power mains switch, compliance with the EU's Low Voltage Directive (IEC 61010) requires an external power disconnect device such as a switch or circuit breaker. The disconnect device must be marked as such, clearly visible, directly accessible, and located within 1.8 m (6 ft) of the unit.

Be sure to follow the guidelines outlined in “Choosing an Installation Site” on page 2 before mounting the enclosure.

Note: If the installation location does not provide enough room for connections to be made easily after

installation, you may want to make connections to the MIS or M-Series probes, Delta F Oxygen Cell, Outputs and Alarms before mounting the instrument.

1.7.2 Mounting a Sample System

BHGE sample systems are normally fastened to a metal plate that has four mounting holes. BHGE can also provide the sample system in an enclosure, if requested. In either case, fasten the sample system plate or enclosure with bolts in the mounting holes at each of the four corners. If you ordered sample system outline and dimension drawings, they will be included in your shipment.

Connect the sample system inlet to the process and the outlet to the return, using the appropriate fittings or an appropriate NPT adapter.

CAUTION! Do not start a flow through the sample system until all probes and transmitters are properly installed.

1.8 Installing the Probes

After you mount the sample system, you must insert the moisture probes into the sample cells. In addition, you must check, prepare, and connect any installed oxygen cells to the gas line.

1.8.1 Moisture Probes

BHGE Moisture Image Series (MIS) and M-Series moisture probes have 3/4 inch-16 straight threads, with an O-ring seal, to the secure probes into the sample system or directly into the process line. Other fittings are available for special applications.

CAUTION! If mounting the moisture probes directly into the process line, you must consult BHGE for proper installation instructions and precautions.

Moisture probes are usually installed into a sample system. The sample system protects the probes from coming into contact with damaging elements in the process. Moisture probes are installed into a cylindrical shaped container, called the sample cell, which is included as part of your sample system. The sample cell is identified by a label on the sample system plate.

To install a moisture probe that has a 3/4 inch-16 straight thread, insert it into the sample cell so it is perpendicular to the sample inlet. Screw the probe into cell, making sure not to cross thread it, and tighten it securely. Figure 4 below shows a typical moisture probe installation, with the probe mounted in a BHGE sample cell. Install any moisture probes with different fittings in the appropriate manner.

Probe

Inlet

Sample Cell

Outlet

Figure 4: Typical Moisture Probe in Sample Cell

Note: Standard moisture probes have a sintered stainless steel shield that protects the aluminum oxide sensor.

Be sure to leave the shield in place for maximum protection.

It is important to eliminate all gas or liquid leaks for safety reasons and to ensure that measurements are not affected by ambient contamination. For gas applications, you should check for leaks using a soap bubble solution.

IMPORTANT: Refer to the Calibration Data Sheets to connect the probes to their corresponding channels. If a

probe is connected to the wrong channel, the meter will display incorrect data.

1.8.4 Pressure Sensors

If a pressure input is required and if an optional pressure signal is not available from a Moisture Image Series probe, you can connect a separate pressure transmitter to an auxiliary input.

The moisture.IQ accepts any 0 to 20-mA, 4 to 20-mA, or 0 to 2-V pressure transmitters.

Always mount the pressure transmitter directly downstream from the moisture probe to ensure that the pressure is measured at the same point as the moisture measurement.

1.8.5 Delta F Oxygen Cell

Although the moisture.IQ accepts other oxygen devices as auxiliary inputs, it is designed to accept oxygen inputs directly from the Delta F Oxygen Cell. There are three steps for installing the Delta F Oxygen Cell:

1. Prepare the oxygen cell for operation

2. Calibrate the oxygen cell.

3. Connect the oxygen cell to the gas line.

The Delta F Oxygen Cell is available with various types of mounting enclosures. However, the cell itself will always look like the one shown in Figure 7 below.

Electrolyte Level

Figure 7: Delta F Oxygen Cell Electrolyte Level

12 moisture.IQ User’s Manual

Page 25

Chapter 1. Installation

1.8.5.1 Preparing the Oxygen Cell

To prepare the oxygen cell for operation, you must fill it with the electrolyte that was supplied in a plastic bottle.

WARNING! The electrolyte contains potassium hydroxide that is harmful if it comes in contact with eyes or skin. Consult your company safety personnel for proper procedures for handling the electrolyte.

1. Unscrew the top cover on the oxygen cell reservoir.

2. Slowly add the entire contents of the electrolyte bottle, approximately three ounces (90 ml), making

sure not to spill any on the outside of the cell. Be especially careful that the electrolyte does not come in contact with any of the cell electrical connections.

3. Using the min/max window on the oxygen cell, check the electrolyte level. The electrolyte should cover

about 60% of the window (see Figure 7 on page 12). The cell is now ready to be connected to the gas line.

4. Replace the top cover on the oxygen cell.

Note: After you add the electrolyte, DO NOT add additional electrolyte to the reservoir. If the level falls below the

minimum level, refer to “Delta F Oxygen Cell Electrolyte” on page 87 to replenish the cell.

5. Calibrate the oxygen cell as described in “Calibrating the Delta F Oxygen Cell” on page 89. After you

calibrate the oxygen cell, connect it to the gas line as described in the following section.

1.8.5.2 Connecting the Oxygen Sample System to the Gas Line

To connect the oxygen sample system to the process line, attach a 1/8 inch O. D. (outside diameter) tube to the 1/8 inch sample gas inlet fitting, using a Swagelokor equivalent mating connector. Avoid using plastic or rubber for any tubings or fittings which are included in the inlet gas lines.

WARNING! Do not connect the oxygen cell outlet to flow restricting devices, pressure lines, or vacuum lines. Pressure differentials across the oxygen cell sensor in excess of 1 psig could be harmful or damage the cell.

If the gas being monitored does not create a safety hazard, vent it to atmosphere at the sample system outlet. If venting the gas to atmosphere causes a safety hazard, vent the gas to a safe location. Make sure the venting system does not create a back pressure on the oxygen cell.

Note: The vented sample will not be corrosive if you install and operate the cell properly.

1.9.3 Connecting Moisture Probes

The moisture.IQ uses M-Series and Moisture Image Series probes to measure moisture. If you need to connect a different probe type, please contact our technical support department. If you ordered one or more M-Series probes with the moisture.IQ, BHGE has entered the necessary probe setup data on a pre-assigned channel.

IMPORTANT: See the Calibration Data Sheets, shipped with the probes, to connect the probes to their

corresponding channels. If a probe is connected to the wrong channel, the meter will display incorrect data.

Probes are identified on the Calibration Data Sheet by a serial number. The serial number is also engraved on the hex nut of the probe, as shown in Figure 11 below.

Probe Serial Number

Figure 11: Moisture Probe Serial Number

The Moisture Image Series probe does not require any pre-programming, because it stores all the necessary setup data in its electronics module. Therefore, you can install a Moisture Image Series probe on any available channel. After you install the probe, you must activate the probe on the installed channel, as described in “The Probe Configuration Screen” on page 60. Proceed to the following sections to properly connect your moisture probes.

16 moisture.IQ User’s Manual

Page 29

Chapter 1. Installation

1.9.3.1 M-Series Probes

M-Series probes are primarily used for moisture measurement, but they can be used to measure temperature as well. If ordered, an optional temperature thermistor is included in the moisture probe and requires an additional connection.

If the M-Series probe does not have a thermistor, then you may use a two-wire shielded cable with a bayonet-type connector to connect the probe to the electronics unit. If an optional thermistor is installed, then use a four-wire shielded cable with a bayonet-type connector to connect the M-Series Probe to the electronics unit. The M-Series Probe may be located up to 600 m (2000 ft) from the moisture.IQ.

Before making the electrical connections, connect the cable to the probe by inserting the bayonet-type connector onto the probe and twisting the shell clockwise until it snaps into a locked position (approximately 1/8 of a turn). Wire the probe cable per the wiring diagram in Figure 12 below. The M-Series terminal block on the back panel of the moisture.IQ (see Figure 13 on page 18) also notes the corresponding color from the probe cable.

1.9.3.2 Moisture Image Series Probes (MISP and MISP2)

Connect the Moisture Image Series probes (MISP) to the moisture.IQ using the cable provided. You can locate a Moisture Image Series probe up to 915 m (3000 ft) from the electronics unit.

Note: Sale of the MISP probe was discontinued by BHGE in 2010 and it was replaced by the MISP2 probe.

Although the MISP probe can be used successfully with the moisture.IQ analyzer, there may be communication issues when using long cables.

Before making any electrical connections, you must assemble the probe. A Moisture Image Series probe may be shipped in two parts: a probe and an electronics module, each of which has its own serial number. If you ordered more than one probe, be sure to match each probe to its matching electronics module using the serial numbers listed on the probe Calibration Data Sheet. To assemble a Moisture Image Series probe, insert the probe into the probe connector on the matching electronics module and turn the probe counterclockwise until it locks in place (see Figure 14 below).

1.9.4 Connecting the Delta F Oxygen Cell

The Delta F Oxygen Cell is available in a general-purpose model with standard or VCR® fittings. The oxygen cell can also be mounted in a weatherproof enclosure (R4) for outdoor applications or an explosion-proof enclosure (R7) for use in hazardous areas.

CAUTION! Do not power up the moisture.IQ without first establishing a gas flow through the Delta F Oxygen Cell (see “Establishing a Gas Flow Through the Oxygen Cell” on page 26).

Each Delta F Oxygen Cell has a set of sensor electrodes and a set of secondary electrodes. For proper operation, make connections to each set of electrodes using a six-wire shielded cable. BHGE provides the 704-1357-B-Z cable with 22 AWG conductors for use with Delta F Oxygen cells.

Note: Cable with 16 AWG conductors is the largest cable size that can be easily installed into the moisture.IQ

terminal blocks and the Delta F sensor terminal posts.

Cable error is a function of cable resistance/foot, length of cable, and maximum sensor current output. Since higher range sensors have a greater current output, they have shorter acceptable cable lengths. Larger gauge cable results in longer acceptable cable lengths. Use Table 1 below to determine acceptable installation lengths for your application.

1.10 Establishing a Gas Flow Through the Oxygen Cell

CAUTION! Establish a gas sample flow through the Delta F Oxygen Cell before you power up the

system or damage may occur to the oxygen cell.

Note: If you are not using a Delta F Oxygen Cell in your system, skip this section and proceed to the following

chapters to configure your system.

The Delta F Oxygen Cell requires a gas flow rate of 2 to 2.5 SCFH through the cell. The oxygen cell inlet pressure should be between 0.2 and 1.0 psig. Refer to Figure 22 on page 27 when establishing a gas sample flow.

CAUTION! Do not operate the Delta F oxygen cell for extended periods of time at oxygen concentrations that are over range. Trace and low percent range sensors may be damaged if exposed to high levels of oxygen, such as air, for long periods (>1 hour) while the moisture.IQ is in operation. If exposure is unavoidable, either disconnect the oxygen cell from the moisture.IQ or equip the sample system with a valve that allows the cell to be switched to a purge gas.

1. Close the flow control valve and adjust the upstream pressure as required. BHGE recommends a pressure of about 2 to 10 psig pressure upstream from the flow control valve, depending on what type of valve is installed in the sample system.

2. To safeguard against over pressurizing the oxygen cell, install a relief valve rated at 10 psig in the gas flow system. There should be no restrictions downstream from the oxygen cell. Use 1/4 inch tubing or larger on the oxygen cell outlet and the relief valve outlet. Both outlets should vent to atmosphere if possible.

CAUTION! Do not connect the relief valve and oxygen cell outlets to a common outlet line smaller than 1/4 inch. This pressure restriction will damage the oxygen cell. In addition, a relief valve should be installed in the oxygen sample system. If either of these conditions are not met, the Delta F Oxygen Cell warranty will be voided.

1.10Establishing a Gas Flow Through the Oxygen Cell (cont.)

3. Slowly open the flow control valve until the recommended flow of 2 to 2.5 SCFH is established on the

flow meter.

4. When the proper flow is achieved, make sure the relief valve is closed by placing an object (e.g., your

finger, if the gas is non-corrosive) over the relief valve vent. Cover and uncover the relief valve vent and verify that the flow meter shows no change in the flow rate. Keep the relief valve closed during operation to minimize leakage in the sample system.

4.1.3 Trimming the Selected Output

The measured value of the outputs can vary from the programmed value due to the effects of load resistance. The Output Selection option provides a trimming feature you can use to compensate for any such variations. To accurately trim the outputs, you will need a digital multimeter capable of measuring 0 to 2 V with a resolution of ±0.0001 VDC (0.1 mV) or 0 to 20 mA with a resolution of ±0.01 mA, depending on your output settings. Most good quality 3 1/2-digit multi-meters are adequate for output trimming. Complete the following steps to trim output:

1. Make sure the Output Mode has been set for the desired output (Current or Voltage).

2. Temporarily disconnect the load from the output signal wires. The, attach the digital multimeter to the

signal wires either in series (for Current mode) or in parallel (for Voltage mode) with the load.

3. Tap the Channel (1-6) and Output (A or B) to be trimmed, and then tap the Trim button to open a screen

similar to Figure 45 below.

4.1.4 Setting the Output Range Error Response

A Range Error can occur when a measured value is within the capacity of the analyzer, but it exceeds the calibration range of the probe. They can be either Under Range or Over Range errors.

The moisture.IQ indicates Range Errors with an Over Range or Under Range message.The error condition applies to all measurements of the same mode. For example, if a dew point measurement is Over Range, then moisture in ppMv will also be Over Range. If multiple Range Errors occur simultaneously, the moisture.IQ responds to them in the following order: Oxygen Errors, Moisture Errors, Temperature Errors and then Pressure

Errors.

Complete the following steps to configure the range error response of the selected output:

1. Tap the desired Channel (1-6) and Output (A or B), and then tap the Range Error button to open a screen similar to Figure 46 below.

7.1.1 Checking the Electrolyte Level

Using the level indicator window on the oxygen cell, check the electrolyte level. The electrolyte should cover about 60% of the window. The electrolyte level should be between the Min and Max lines, as shown in Figure 75 below.

When the Delta F Oxygen Cell connections are made to the moisture.IQ, the analyzer can detect the electrolyte level and indicate when it is low. When the electrolyte level is low, all oxygen readings are highlighted in amber and an “Oxygen Fluid Low” error message is displayed beneath the measurements.

7.1.2 Replenishing the Electrolyte

Once the oxygen cell receives the initial charge of electrolyte, you should monitor the level regularly. DO NOT let the fluid level drop below the MIN level mark on the window.

WARNING! The electrolyte contains a strong caustic component and can be harmful if it comes in contact with the skin or the eyes. Follow proper procedures for handling the caustic (potassium hydroxide) solution. Consult your company safety personnel.

To raise the fluid level in the reservoir, add add the distilled water, making sure you do not overfill the reservoir. The electrolyte mixture should cover approximately 60% of the level indicator window.
