SPM Flex Gas Detector

Introduction

The SPM Flex gas detector is an extractive gas monitoring system that draws gas

®

samples locally or from a remote point to a Chemcassette
detection system� A wide range of toxic gas Chemcassette cartridges are available
that enable detection of gases used or generated in semiconductor manufacturing
and industrial environments�

The SPM Flex gas detector, available in wall mounted and portable versions,
locally displays gas concentration, alarm, fault and status information via its backlit
color LCD and LEDs� A simple to use 4-button keypad adjacent to the display
provides the ability to set-up, review, operate and make changes to the detector’s
configuration� The intuitive display and menu structure are designed to require
minimal training� The SPM Flex has a local audio alarm with user-configurable
output levels� The detector can be used both indoors and outdoors in a wide range
of weather conditions�

The detector has flexible power and communications capabilities� These include
3 on-board relays, 4-20 mA analog output and Modbus/TCP outputs for signal
and service connectivity� The gas detector is equipped with a USB port for
configuration-sharing firmware updates and data downloads� For web-enabled
devices, web pages are available via the Ethernet port�

tape-based optical gas

Standard operation conditions

The SPM Flex gas detector is designed for use in temperatures between 32ºF
and 104ºF (0ºC and 40ºC) and relative humidities between 0 and 100% (the
relative humidities are limited by tape and calibration)� The sample line will require
additional hardware to remove moisture in high relative humidity conditions where
condensing may occur (the sample must be non-condensing)� Dry conditions may
require humidification�

High-altitude applications

The SPM Flex pump is optimized for operation at altitudes between –1000 feet
(–305 meters) and 3000 ft� (945 m) above sea level� At altitudes above 3,000 ft�
(915 m), up to a maximum of 6,000 ft� (1,830 m), contact Honeywell Analytics for
calibration� (At 6,000 feet, pump capacity is reduced 18% and a flow-system
adjustment to the bypass valve is required� This must be performed by a Honeywell
Analytics certified technician� Contact Customer Service�)

Battery operation

The SPM Flex gas detector is supplied with a power supply/charger than can
connect the detector’s power connection and a standard wall outlet� (Ensure that
the correct power cable has been ordered for local operation�) The power supply/
charger is designed for indoor, dry-location use only� The lithium-ion battery pack
provides continuous operation of 6+ hours, depending on sampling conditions
and unit configuration� The battery’s charge time is typically 4 hours� The
detector can be operated while its battery is being charged (this may increase
the charge time)� Because batteries discharge slowly when not in use, Honeywell
Analytics recommends keeping the detector connected to the power supply/
charger when not in use�

!

WARNING

• The battery is not field-replaceable� Return the unit to Honeywell Analytics if
a battery replacement is necessary�

• Risk of fire and burns� Do not open, crush, heat above 140ºF (60ºC), or
incinerate the battery� Follow manufacturer’s instructions�

How to extend battery life

Power consumption is optimized to extend battery life when not in monitor
mode� In addition, the unit should not be exposed to extreme temperatures
which shortens battery life� The time before recharging is required can be
extended by taking the detector out of monitor mode when it is not in use�

How to recharge an overly-discharged battery

If the battery indicates 0% charge and does not appear to be charging when
plugged into the power supply, it may be overly discharged� Follow these steps:

1� Verify that the latest software has been installed� The detector’s software

version can be found by navigating to the
menu� If necessary, the current software can be downloaded from the SPM
Flex section of the Honeywell Analytics website (see page 7)� Install the
new software from a USB flash drive by following the prompts in the

Program

2� Turn the detector off and then power it up again� This will reinitiate the

charging circuit� Initially (until the battery reaches the normal charge range),
the detector will slow charge� The process can take 6 hours�

4-20 mA output is a three-wire connection that is configurable as sink, source,
or isolated (isolated is the default), as shown in these following figures� Use a
hex key to remove the wiring cover for access to the terminals� There must be a
200-600-ohm load on the 4-20 mA line�

To ensure adequate resolution to overcome tolerance in the 4-20 mA reading,
set the full scale at an appropriate level� The SPM Flex issues a fault if the
measured 4-20 mA reading is more than 0�8 mA (5% full scale) off from the
expected drive value�

WARNING

!

Operation

• Protection afforded by the SPM Flex gas detector may be impaired if it is
not used according to the manufacturer’s instructions�

• Operate two-way radios at least 18 inches (46 cm) from the detector�

• When the detector is in monitor mode and is moved between
environments with large differences in temperatures or humidity,
condensation on the optics may cause it to report a false low gas
concentration reading� Allow the unit to stabilize in the new environment
before monitoring gas levels�

Power

Before operation, verify that external power is present (the blue LED will
be on) or that the internal battery is charged� The physical power switch,
located under the Chemcassette access door, should be on� Typically, it
is recommended to leave the physical switch in the on position unless
transporting/shipping the unit where there is a possibility of the detector
accidentally being turned on with the soft power switch�

When the detector’s startup sequence ends, an “In Monitor,” or “Out of

pressurized gases to escape through the tubing into the unit and then into the
local environment�

Time

There is a real-time clock in the header bar� The real-time clock also verifies
that the detector is active�

Audible alarm

The alarm can be configured for high, medium, and low sound levels� The
sound can also be turned off� Low is approximately 75 dB at 1 meter (for
office/lab use), Medium is approximately 85 dB at 1 meter (for light industrial
use), and High is greater than 90 dB at 1 meter (for heavy industrial use)�

Monitoring icons

A round green icon in the lower left of the display indicates that the detector
is on and detecting� “In monitor” is shown next to the icon and the current
gas concentration is displayed� The icon changes to indicate that the detector
is out of monitor mode, or is in a fault or alarm state� Alarms and faults can
be present simultaneously (the alarm will supercede fault notification on the
main display and status bar color)� When the detector is not detecting, “Out of
monitor” is displayed and 4 dashes are shown instead of a gas concentration�
When the detector is out of monitor mode, the status bar will change to blue�
When a gas concentration exceeds the limit, “Over limit” is displayed and the
gas concentration is preceded by the greater-than symbol (“>”)�

35

General

The backlight intensity and timeout period are chosen from this menu as
well� The power-up options are chosen from this menu� The detector can
be programmed to be in monitoring mode or out of monitoring mode when
powered up� Out of monitoring mode is the default state� It can also be
programmed to power up in the state it was in when it was powered down�
Finally, if languages other than English are loaded in the detector’s software,
the language can be chosen from the General menu�

40

SPM Flex Gas Detector

The unit IDs, either short (up to 20 characters) or long (up to 35 characters) and
an idle timeout period of from 1 to 60 minutes (20 minutes default) can also be
entered from the General menu� An idle timeout period of 0 minutes will disable
the idle timeout function�

Monitoring

The available gases are displayed and can be selected from the Gas menu�
Alarms 1 and 2 can be enabled or disabled and their respective setpoints can be
adjusted� The LDL can also be enabled or disabled and user-defined LDL limits
can be entered� The minimum and maximum values for the 4-20 mA full scale
can be entered�

The TWA mode can be set for either a fixed start time or a floating start time at
the TWA menu� The default is 08:00 but another time can be entered by the user�
In this case, the detector will calculate the second time (8 hours later) and third
time (16 hours later)�

Before storing the detector following a gas event, purge the flow system by
operating the detector in clean air until it returns to zero� If the case must be
wiped down, install push fittings in the Sample In/Out ports to prevent fluids
from entering the detector�

NOTE

The detector’s continuous monitoring algorithm enables a fast response and
high sensitivity� It also rapidly indicates trends� However, in some cases, this
algorithm can cause the decay time to be substantial, especially with gases
having slow stain development, specifically low level AsH3 and GeH4� In
the absence of gas, it may be necessary to continue monitoring for several
minutes before zero concentration is reported�

Latching

The SPM Flex detector’s alarms and faults can be either latching or non­latching, depending on the settings on the Latching menu� The default for both
is latching�

Outputs

The detector’s display characteristics (e�g�, brightness, time to dim/time to off)
are set at the Display menu� The volume of the alarms (silent, low, medium,
or high) are chosen from the Audio menu options� Parameters set from the

Configuration Manager

Access to options for up to five internal flash slots can be chosen from the
Configuration Manager menu� Information can also be imported to or exported
from the detector via the USB option�

Test menu

The detector’s optical system can be checked from the Optics Verification screen
(using the verification card�) Alarms 1 and 2, maintenance faults, and instrument
faults can be tested from the Simulate menu� The alarms and faults can also be
reset from the Simulate menu� The Force Relays and Force 4-20 mA options are
also available through the Test menu�

Power off

Select “Power off” to shut off the detector� Selecting this option has the same
effect as pressing and holding the power button for 5 seconds�

Duty cycle

This function allows the user to extend the duration of the tape advance interval�
This is useful in applications in which a background level of gas is expected in
normal operation� This interval can be configured for up to seventeen minutes�

When in monitor mode, if the detector reaches its maximum concentration for
that window, it will hold and display a countdown informing that it is waiting for
the duty cycle to expire�

The Duty Cycle menu can be found at Main menu > Set up > Monitoring > Duty

Cycle.

The detector does not monitor gas levels while the duty cycle is counting
down�

44

SPM Flex Gas Detector

K-factor

K-factor is a feature that allows gases’ cross-sensitivity to be employed to
measure a target gas after calibrating the detector with a different gas� The
advantage for the user is that a small number of calibration gases can be used
to calibrate a detector for a wide range of target gases� The detector’s readings
are modified by the known relationship between the two� For example, a 5
ppm concentration of Gas A is seen by the detector as the same as a 5�8 ppm
concentration of Gas B� The K-factor is 1�2 (5�8 ÷ 5 = 1�16 = 1�2 when rounded
to one decimal place)� Therefore, the detector with a Gas A Chemcassette
cartridge can be used to accurately detect Gas B by multiplying the Gas A
reading by 1�2�

The feature can also be used to compensate for diluted samples� For example,
when reading a gas that has been diluted 5:1, the K-factor feature will will
enable the detector to yield a reading of the undiluted gas�

K-factor conversions are performed by the detector automatically� The K-factor
is at Main menu > Set up > Monitoring > Gas.

If desired, an alternative name can be assigned to the K-factor target gas� This
would be useful if, for example, a certain dilution of a gas was being detected�
With K-factor enabled, navigate to Setup > Monitoring > Gas > K-factor > Alt�
gas name > Edit� A name with up to eight characters can be entered from that
screen� Save the name by pressing the Accept button�

Stale tape feature

When a Chemcassette cartridge is installed, the detector reads information
about it, including the Allowable Days After First Use from its RFID tag (see the
Detectable Gases table on page 60)� By default, the detector will issue a Stale
Tape maintenance fault after that number of days� For situations in which the
cartridge will be used for a short period of time and then properly stored in its
Chemcassette cartridge bag, the user may turn off the maintenance fault� If
a cartridge is installed and in Monitor mode and then reaches the Stale Tape
date or the Expired Tape date, it will continue monitoring� (While the “CAUTION:
Chemcassette is XXX days past recommended use” screen is displayed, press
the Accept button to acknowledge the maintenance fault and continue using
the cartridge�) The cartridge can then be used past the Stale Tape date (but not
past the Expired Tape date)� A history event is created for all expiration faults�

To clean the exterior surfaces

Exterior surfaces of the detector can be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened
with water or with 6% IPA alcohol wipes� Plug the detector’s ports when
washing the case�

To clean the tape-contact surfaces

Over prolonged monitoring periods, the chemical components of some
Chemcassette cartridges can be deposited on the detector’s tape transport
surfaces� When replaced by a cartridge with a different target gas, these
deposits may cause stains on the Chemcassette tape that are falsely
interpreted as gas concentrations� This chemical incompatibility has been
particularly noted in the combinatons in the following chart�

Storing the detector

When storing the detector with the power adaptor plugged in, the rocker
switch can be left in the on position; the battery will continue charging� The
detector can also be charged with the rocker switch off�

When storing the detector without being plugged into the power adaptor, turn
the rocker switch off� This will minimize the power� This is the recommended
setting for long-term storage or for transporting the detector� Charge the
detector at least four hours every three months�

Recycling

At the end of its usable life, return the detector to Honeywell Analytics for
recycling�

Storing Chemcassette® cartridges

Follow the instructions on the cartridge label for acceptable storage
temperatures and expiration dates�

Outside of RH range:

3 Tends to have lower response at higher humidities.
4 Tends to increase sensitivity at higher humidities (due to the chemistry of the reaction).
5 Tends to under-report at higher humidities (typically >75% RH) due to the gas characteristics to adhere or decompose on contact with water/moisture. The response seems to be lower but the actual gas concentration under these high humidity conditions will be lower than

expected.
6 Tends to under-report in dry conditions (<25-30% RH).
7 Depending on the combination of temperature and humidity, even within the ranges specified above, a unit’s performance efficiency can be influenced due to condensation, physical tape material changes, or optical changes. Consult Honeywell Analytics’ Service Department.
8 Refer to TechNotes 971131 (Chemcassette®-based Instrument Accuracy and Precision) and 1998-0219 (Protocol for Testing Gas Detectors).
9 Prolonged exposure to high levels of HBr (2xTLV or above) can condense in the system and may require purging with dry gas.

10 For information about the expiration date of the Chemcassette, refer to the
11 The number of days from the installation date that the Chemcassette cartridge can be used. When the allowable-days limit is reached, or if the absolute expiration date (printed on cartridge) is reached, the detector will issue an Expired Chemcassette Cartridge fault. The type of

expiration is found in the event history data field for the fault (either 1 [stale] or 2 [expired]). Replace the cartridge when this fault is issued. The only exception is if the cartridge was used only briefly and then removed from the detector and properly stored in the sealed bag at the
recommended temperature. In this case, the cartridge can be used past the stale-tape date (but not past the absolute expiration date) by clearing the stale-tape fault before going into monitor mode. Advance the tape manually about five inches before installing the cartridge and
entering monitor mode.

3 Use an external filter to protect the tubing from contamination (the particulate filter for non-corrosive gases, the corrosive filter for

corrosive gases). For multiple-gas applications or if the correct filter is not known, use the corrosive filter. Replace the filter every 3
months. Refer to the
nates, hydrazine, ozone, or hydrogen peroxide so regular maintenance cleaning is especially important for detectors exposed to those
gases.
