EMC Considerations

Your Honeywell Analytics monitor has been designed to comply with applicable Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards at the time of manufacture. The design includes ﬁltering, shielding and bypassing techniques. At the time of certiﬁcation, simulated customer Input/ Output (I/O) schemes were tested.

All methods used in your equipment for emission suppression and reduction of susceptibility are interactive. Modiﬁcations to the instrument could result in increased emissions and higher vulnerability to other radiated ﬁelds.

Following the guidelines in this EMC Considerations section will ensure your instrument maintains the highest degree of EMC integrity. The guidelines listed apply only to I/O emissions and do not apply to A.C. and D.C. instrument power connections.

Cabling

At a very minimum, all cables should include a braided shield. Ideal results have been obtained with twisted pair cabling which has a foil shield surrounding each pair plus foil and 90% braid shielding around the b undle. In addition, ensure local electrical code requirements are met.

The following cable parameters must be considered:

Braid Foil Twisted Pair

Stranded Pair

Shield Termination

Must have a minimum 90% coverage When used with braid, provides 100% coverage

Do not use foil alone. It has a tendency to break. Provides for cancelling of magnetic ﬁelds Provides the greatest surface area

Continuation of the shield to the cabinet earth ground is most important. For discrete wire terminations, pigtails to the cabinet (connector) ground should be extremely short (absolutely no greater than three inches). For multiconductor connector terminations, only 360° shielded shells should be used.

Vertex M TM Technical Handbook

Note:

Honeywell Analytics product testing uses >90% braid with foil (around the bundle); twisted pair; stranded 24 AWG (minimum wiring for all qualiﬁcation and certiﬁcation testing.)

Connectors

All qualiﬁcation and certiﬁcation of Honeywell Analytics products were achieved with high quality connectors, providing 360° shield coverage. These connectors generally had metal shells.

Failure to properly secure the connector to the equipment will result in high emission levels. Also, poorly constructed or improperly assembled connectors can be a high source of radiated noise and provide a path for external signals into the monitor.

1.5 Sampling System

Each Analyzer module is a monitoring center for sampling lines from sample locations. As they apply to the Vertex M System, the words point, line and location require deﬁnition:

• A location is a place to be monitored

• Sample atmosphere runs from the location to the Vertex M System via a line

• Each of the 24 sample tubing connections on the Vertex M System corresponds to a point. A sample line can be connected directly to a single point or multiple points via a 4-port manifold

The system draws air simultaneously from all l ocations. Two different types of ﬂow are:

• Transport ﬂow: high-velocity, large-volume air movement through the lines

• Sample ﬂow: air admitted to the Chemcassette® detection system

The high speed of transport flow allows rapid monitoring and response time when using long lines from monitored locations to the Vertex M System. A small portion of the transport ﬂow (sample ﬂow) is analyzed to determine concentration levels.

The complete sampling and monitoring system consists of the following components:

• Sample lines to all monitored locations

• Flow connections through quick-connect ports in bulkheads on top of unit

Section 1 - Introduction 1-13

• Moving cable and connectors

• Vacuum pumps

• Analyzers incorporating manifolds,

Chemcassette

and ﬁlters

• Flow controlling proportional valve

Vertex MTM 24-Point Continuous Monitor

• Top exhaust port

There are 24 inlets, one for each monitored location. One exhaust port is also located on top of the Vertex M cabinet.

1.6 Chemcassette® Detection System

The Chemcassette® Analyzer module is a selfcontained, microprocessor controlled analyzer that occupies one slot in a Vertex M. Sample lines and the vacuum source are connected to the Chemcassette® via a single 10-tube connector.

The system powers up in the same state as when powered down. Data is stored in the module’ s memory until the data acquisition computer retrieves it.

The Vertex M Analyzer modules use the Honeywell Analytics’ Chemcassette® optical detection system. Analyzer modules sample and detect a speciﬁc gas or family of gases.

• Each eight-point Analyzer module:

tape.

• Manages Chemcassette® tape transport

• Provides optical detection of stain

• Directs sample ﬂow through the Chemcassette

• Stores data for retrieval by the data acquisition computer

Components of the detection system include:

• Chemcassette® detection tape

• Optics and electronics for the detection system

• Chemcassette® tape transport mechanism

• Self adjusting proportional valves

1.6.1 Detector Optics

The heart of the Chemcassette® module is an optical

Section 1 - Introduction 1-14

When monitoring a location, the system detects and measures a speciﬁc gas or a family of gases in the sample. The microprocessor in the analyzer module interprets the data and responds appropriately.

In the legacy detection system, the sample enters the inlet and passes through the Chemcassette tape to the sample outlet. The target gas in the sample ﬂow reacts with the tape and produces a stain density proportional to the gas concentration. An LED in the detector head illuminates the sample stain and the detector then optically measures the stain.

1.6.3 Chemcassette® Tapes

Chemcassette® tapes are tagged with a radio frequency identiﬁcation (RFID) tag to automatically identify the following:

• Serial number

• Gas family/ tape type

• Revision level

• Expiration date of the tape

• Chemcassette® leader parameters

The module uses a leader on the Chemcassette

In the Closed Loop Optics (CLO) detection system, a reference detector monitors and controls the intensity of the LED.

The microprocessor in the Chemcassette analyzer module interprets the stain. It then calculates and stores a precise concentration level in the module’s memory. Gas concentrations are reported in parts-per-million (ppm), parts-per-billion (ppb) or milligrams-per-cubic-meter (mg/m3).

1.6.4 Optional ChemCam

The ChemCam is a small video camera located between the take-up reel and the optic head on the module. It provides a means to observe alarm level stains.

1.6.5 Sample Filters

The Chemcassette® module includes three types of ﬁlters in the sample ﬂow system. Particulate ﬁlters protect the internal precision oriﬁce from dust particles. An acid ﬁlter is used on the common line to the pumps. Both types of ﬁlters are located in a removable ﬁlter block on the side of the Chemcassette® module. An internal particulate ﬁlter protects each proportional valve.

Section 1 - Introduction 1-15

Vertex MTM 24-Point Continuous Monitor

1.7 Pyrolyzer Module Detection System

The pyrolyzer module is similar to the standard Chemcassette triﬂuoride (NF temperature heater (pyrolyzer) which converts the NF

to hydrogen ﬂuoride (HF). The hydrogen ﬂuoride

is then detected with a standard or XPV mineral acids Chemcassette® tape. Detection is identical to the Chemcassette

The correlation algorithm between HF and NF3 is programmed into the module so the monitor displays the NF

concentration.

The Vertex M pyrolyzer module detects NF3 only and cannot be bypassed to detect mineral acids.

The right ﬁlter compartment houses eight par ticulate filters and one acid scrubber, which are identical to the standard Chemcassette compartment houses eight charcoal filters which remove the following compounds:

Freon® is a registered trademark of E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (DuPont).

The charcoal ﬁlters may also remov e other compounds. Contact Honeywell Analytics for a complete list. Charcoal ﬁlters have a part number (P/N 1874-0139) unique to the pyrolyzer module.

The Vertex M Pyrolyzer requires two adjacent slots on one tier and always occupies Slot 1 and 2. The bottom rail and latch must be removed from slot 1 to install pyrolyzer.

1.7.1 Pyrolyzer Fan

The Pyrolyzer has a fan that provides cooling to the pyrolyzer.

1.8 Vacuum Pumps

Two field-replaceable pumps provide a redundant vacuum source for the transport and sample ﬂow system. One pump in the system dra ws v acuum while the other is idle. The pump exhaust connects to the manufacturing facility central toxic exhaust system.

Note:

The exhaust line from the Vertex M should not exceed 50 feet.

The pumps are located in the bottom of the Vertex M System cabinet inside a sound-deadening enclosure to reduce noise. Three cooling fans circulate air over the pumps.

The Vertex M System draws cooling air in through a ﬁlter mounted on the pump module access door.

1.9 Multiple Gas Monitoring

A Vertex M System equipped with two or more types of Analyzer modules can monitor more than one gas (or groups of gases such as hydrides or mineral acids) at a location.

Each Vertex M Analyzer module can monitor only one gas family (such as hydrides or mineral acids).

Vertex MTM 24-Point Continuous Monitor

2.1 Introduction

The installation and initial start-up procedure for the Ver tex M System consists of seven steps, described in this and the following sections:

• 2.2 Surveying the Installation Site

• 2.3 Optional Floor Mounting

• 2.4 Installing Sample Lines/Filters

• 2.5 Installing Pump Exhaust Line

• 2.6 Electrical Power

• 2.7 Data Acquisition System

• 2.8 Wiring Alarm Relays

2.2 Surveying the Installation Site

A survey of the site helps you mak e important decisions before installing your Ver tex M System. Topics in this section assist you with appropriate placement of the V ertex M System and in determining if you have special ﬁltering needs at the sampling location.

The site should:

• Be remote from the monitored location, not sharing the atmosphere

• Have sufﬁcient ventilation for cabinet cooling

• Have power available

• Be indoors in an area that is not subject to wide variations in temperature and humidity.

Note:

The speciﬁed humidity is 20–65% RH and a temperature between 59°F to 95°F (15°C to 35°C).

2.2.1 Placement of the Vertex M System

Install the Vertex M System in an environmentallyprotected setting remote from the manufacturing or storage locations that it monitors.

Note:

Refer to the installation drawing in Appendix A Installation

Drawings for lifting/mounting information.

Section 2 - Installation 2-2

You can place the V ertex M System up to 400 ft. (122 m) from sample locations.

2.2.2 Exposure to Dust and Humidity

Exposure to corrosive gases or materials, excess moisture, dust and other unusual environmental conditions could seriously hamper the Vertex M’s monitoring ability and could damage the monitor.

Allow room around the V ertex M System f or ventilation and servicing.

2.2.3 Sample Transport Time

Install the Vertex M System central to all 24 sample locations to achieve equal sample transport times during monitoring. The shorter the sample line, the shorter the response time. If monitoring a critical location, it may be desirab le to place the monitor near that critical area to reduce sample transport time for that location. See Appendix B Speciﬁcations for transport times.

2.2.4 Monitor Dimensions

Monitor dimensions are important factors in monitor placement. The Vertex M System is 24. in. (61 cm) wide, 36 in. (91.4 cm) deep and 57 in. (144.8 cm) in height. The system with 3 analyzers weighs about 550 pounds (249 kg). Allow f or 24 in. (61 cm) door s wing; 5 in. (12.3 cm) at rear and 5 in. (12.3 cm) on sides. Allo w clearance above monitor for installing sample lines.

2.2.5 Sample Locations

Before installing the Vertex M System, evaluate the sampling locations to determine if excessive dust or moisture are present. An external ﬁlter must be used in all locations. Make sure you use the correct ﬁlter. Dust may be a result of construction as well as manufacturing activities. Moisture ma y occur from rain entering a line at an outdoor sampling location or from

Vertex MTM 24-Point Continuous Monitor

condensation caused by temperature ﬂuctuations. Water condensation in the sample lines could cause false alarms.

Note:

Variables such as airﬂow, the molecular weight and temperature of the sample gas, and the physical conditions of the areas being monitored inﬂuence the placement of the sampling locations. You may need to consult your company’s industrial hygienist or safety ofﬁcer before installing sample lines to determine your company’s policy related to sampling locations and monitoring of the desired sample gas.

2.2.6 Sample Line Particulate Filter Use

See Appendix B Speciﬁcations to determine which ﬁlter type should be used at the location.

2.3 Optional Floor Mounting

For added protection with optional ﬂoor mounts, prepare ﬂoor anchors to secure the base of the cabinet and prevent tipping. See Appendix A Installation Drawings for ﬂoor mounting instructions.

2.4 Installing Sample Lines/Filters

Use only FEP Teflon® tubing to assure proper sample transport. Other types of tubing are not sufﬁciently inert. See Appendix B Speciﬁcations for tube speciﬁcations. FEP tubing can be ordered from Honeywell Analytics. This tubing is manufactured to our own strict speciﬁcations, and has been purged of all by-products of the manufacturing process. On occasion, users have supplied their own FEP type tubing. Should y ou choose to use y our own tubing, be advised that some brands of FEP tubing off-gas small amounts of HF, which can be detected on start up by monitors conﬁgured for detecting mineral acids gases (HBr, HCl, HF, NF3). Before enabling building alarm systems, make certain that 1) you have installed the

correct Chemcassette® and 2) your monitor reads zero . Install sample lines from each location to the top of the

Vertex M System. This procedure involves:

• 2.4.1 Sample Line Installation Requirements

• 2.4.2 Sample Line Connections

• 2.4.3 Installing Sample Line Particulate Filters

Teﬂon® is a registered trademark of E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (DuPont).

2.4.1 Sample Line Installation Requirements

Follow the general requirements listed below when installing sample lines.

• Sample lines should not exceed 400 ft. (122 m) in length.

• Route all lines as direct as possible to improve transport time. See Appendix B Speciﬁcations for transport times.

• Avoid running sample lines through areas of great temperature extremes, such as adjacent to steam or chiller lines.

• Sample lines should not be crimped, bent to less than a 12 in. (30.5 cm) radius, or placed in an area where weight could collapse the tubing. Sample lines should be easily accessible for periodic inspection.

• Where possible, leave as many bends exposed for periodic visual inspection of the line for kinked or damaged tubing.

• Check each sample line installation for seal integrity after completing installation of the Vertex M System. See Section 3.8 Leak

Checking Sample Lines for the leak check

procedure. Also use this procedure to detect leaking or severed tubing after events, such as construction, which may have affected the

integrity of the tubing.

• Unused sample line ports may be blocked by the user with a plug, or a particulate ﬁlter may be installed to keep the system clean. If using a plug, make sure the system vacuum level is adjusted.

• If an analyzer is installed in the Vertex with a Chemcassette tape, the optics may need cleaning before activating a previously unused point.

2.4.2 Sample Line Connections

O-Ring

Grey Locking Insert

install a tube into a sample line inlet, insert the tube far enough into the ﬁtting to ensure that the tube has passed through both the external grab ring and the internal O-ring and is ﬁrmly seated against the stop. The insertion depth for a correctly installed sampling line is 1/2 in. to 5/8 in. (12 mm–16 mm). Verify the inser tion depth by holding the tube and marking with your thumb where it emerges from the ﬁtting. Remove the tube to measure the insertion depth.

CAUTION

Improper installation of the tube into the connector results in dilution of the sample.

2.4.3 Installing Sample Line Particulate Filters

Attach a sample line ﬁlter to the sampling end of the line for all locations.

Figure 2-1. Sample Line Inlet Connections

To prepare for installation of sample lines, remo ve the FEP Teﬂon tubing from the installation kit. The top of the unit includes 25 connections:

• 24 Sample Inlets

• Exhaust Outlet (See Section 2.5 Installing

Note:

Always perform a leak check after installing sample lines. See Section 3.8 Leak Checking Sample Lines for the leak check procedure.

Pump Exhaust Line for connection.)

Each inlet has a quick connect/disconnect fitting with an internal O-ring and an external grab ring. To

Section 2 - Installation 2-4

CAUTION

Keep in mind that excess amounts of dirt in

the lters reduces the sample ow, raises

sample vacuum and may affect concentration readings of the analyzer.

See Appendix A Speciﬁcations to determine the proper ﬁlter type to use with each target gas.

2.5 Installing Pump Exhaust Line

This section describes exhaust connections and installation. The Vertex M System is equipped with a vacuum pump that is located in the bottom of the V ertex M System cabinet. The pump exhaust line connects to the manufacturing facility central toxic exhaust system.

Vertex MTM 24-Point Continuous Monitor

2.5.1 Exhaust Line Installation Requirements

Follow the general requirements listed below when installing exhaust lines.

The length of the line should not exceed 50 ft. (15 m). If longer distances are required, contact Honeywell Analytics.

Do not crimp exhaust lines, or place them in an area where weight could collapse the tubing, or bend them to less than a 12 in. (30.5 cm) radius.

Where possible, leave as many bends exposed for periodic visual inspection of the line for kinked or damaged tubing.

Var ying exhaust pressure can induce pump failure or ﬂow faults.

2.5.2 Exhaust Line Connection

The monitor includes 20 ft. (6m) of 3/8 in. (10 mm) I.D . x 1/2 in. (13 mm) O.D. Teﬂon tubing. Insert the tubing into the exhaust port on the top of the unit to the depth of 0.9 in. (23 mm).

System Exhaust

0.5 in (12.7mm) tubing

To ensure a leak-free installation:

• Use a polypropolene tube with outside diameter 0.375 in. (9.525mm) +/-.005 in. (0.127mm).

• Verify that the external surface of the tube is free of score marks and scratches that could compromise the O-ring seal used in the ﬁtting over the insertion depth.

• Cut the tube end perpendicular to its length

0.062 inches (1.5 mm) from its end.

• Insert the tube in the ﬁtting to a depth of 0.95 in. (24.13mm) ±0.05 inches (1.27mm)

With the system running, verifty the leak integrity with a small amount of leak test ﬂuid.

2.6 Electrical Power

The Vertex M System requires a connection to a source of electrical power . An easil y accessible service disconnect/power switch must be installed near the instrument, and the switch must be marked as the main disconnect for the V ertex M unit. The f ollowing warning must be displayed at the switch:

CAUTION

Leaks in the exhaust tubing connection can cause exposure to toxic gases from remote sample areas.
