AND MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THEM PROPERLY BEFORE YOU START OPERATING THE 1309 MULTIPOINT SAMPLER.
EXPLOSION HAZARD
THE 1309 MULTIPOINT SAMPLER IS NOT DESIGNED FOR USE IN
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS.
This means that the instrument must not be placed and operated in an
area with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
When monitoring potentially flammable or toxic gases it is essential that:
1) the instrument itself is placed in a well-ventilated area outside the
potentially hazardous zone; and
2) that a sufficiently long tube is connected to the “Sampler Waste Air
Outlet” so that the sampled gas is carried away to the open air or to
an extraction and/or filtration unit.
FLAMMABLE GASES IN EXPLOSIVE CONCENTRATIONS MUST NEVER
BE ATTEMPTED.
AVOID WATER CONDENSATION IN THE INSTRUMENT.
Liquids must be prevented from entering the instrument. It is therefore
important that warm humid gases are not drawn into a cold instrument
because condensation will take place. If such a situation is likely to occur
you should ensure that the gases are drawn through water-trap filters
water vapour in the gases and thus prevent condensation within the instrument. The water-trap filter should be used in the immediate environment of the instrument so it maintains either the same temperature,
or a lower temperature than the instrument.
Note: that some gases may be absorbed by the water trapped in the filter. This will reduce the gases’ concentration.
The 1309 Multipoint Sampler complies with EN/IEC 61010-1 3rd Ed.
(2010): Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement,
control and laboratory use. To ensure safe operation and retain the 1309
in safe condition, note the following:
APPLYING POWER
Before using the 1309 check that the available mains voltage match the
specified voltage and frequency for the instrument.
SAFETY SYMBOLS
The apparatus is marked with this symbol when it is important that
the user refer to the associated warning statements given in the User
Manual.
Frame or Chassis
WARNINGS
Before connecting or disconnecting interface cables, switch off the power
to all instruments.
If the correct function or operating safety of the 1309 is impaired, secure
the instrument against further use until the fault is repaired.
Any adjustment, maintenance or repair of the internal parts of the 1309
under power must be avoided as far as possible; if unavoidable, it must
only be done by qualified service personnel.
The pneumatic system of the 1309 is shown schematically in Fig.1.1.
The sampler system is constructed of stainless steel (AISI 316) and
PTFE (PolyTetraFluoroEthylene) tubing to minimize adsorption of samples. The system has 12 inlet channels, each with a solenoid valve.
Each inlet channel has a tube-mounting stub on the front-plate of the
1309; to connect each channel to the respective sampling point. The 12
inlet channels converge into one; a three-way valve then directs the
gas sample to the Gas Monitor for analysis, or through the external
pump via the waste-air outlet on the 1309’s back-plate.
The 1309’s sampler system functions efficiently, transporting gas samples from the sampling point at approximately 4 metres per second.
However, this speed depends on the type of pump, the diameter of the
tubing and the length of tubing attached to the 1309. An air-filter is attached to the end of each sampling tube to keep the samples free of
particles.
Fig. 1.1 A schematic diagram of the 1309’s pneumatic system.
Sampler:12 mounting stubs for connection of tubing to sampling
points. Each stub is numbered, and has a correspondingly-numbered lamp. When the lamp is lit, it indicates
that the corresponding sampling valve is open, see sec-
tion 3.3. The Analyzer/Waste Air lamps indicate which
way the internal 3 way valve is set, see section 3.3.
Temperature Sensors Input:
6 inputs suitable for use with the INNOVA Air Temperature Transducer type MM0034, Surface Temperature
Transducer MM0035 or Operative Temperature Transducer type MM0060.
Interface:3 lamps which indicate the function of the IEEE inter-
face. If the Listen lamp is lit, the 1309 is receiving instructions or data from the system controller. If the Talk
lamp is lit, the 1309 is outputting data. If the SRQ lamp
is lit, the 1309 has generated a Service Request, see
section 3.7. Full details of the IEEE Interface are given in
Chapter 4.
AC Mains:A 3-pin connector accepting Power Cable for connection
to a single phase AC mains supply with protective Earth.
Mains Voltage:Connect 1309 to mains supply with 100-240 Vac, 50/60
Hz.
Outlet to Analyzer:Mounting stub for connecting the sampler system of the
1309 to the inlet of an INNOVA Gas Monitor via tubing.
See section 2.4.4. Usable models are 1302, 3425, 3426,
1312, 1314 or 1412. In the following referred to as “Gas
Monitor”. Please contact LumaSense Technologies A/S
for available models.
Waste Air Outlet:Mounting stub for connecting the external pump to the
1309’s sampler system. See section 2.4.4.
Interface IEEE-488:Digital interface designed in accordance with IEEE 488-
1978. The IEEE interface is identical in use to that described in IEC 625-1; full compatibility is only a matter
of using the correct cables and connectors. For more detail about the IEEE/IEC interface, refer to Chapter 4.
Device Address:Bank of 8 DIP switches which decide the 1309’s interface
address. See section 2.3.1 for details of how to set the
interface address.
The Type 1309 Multipoint Sampler is designed for use in environments
with temperatures between +5°C and +40°C (+41°F and +104°F) and
with up to 90% relative humidity (non-condensing) at 40°C.
Make sure to leave some space between the Rear Panel and the Wall,
or other obstacles, to ensure easy access to the mains supply. No other
special handling precautions are necessary.
2.1.2Connecting the Mains Supply
The 1309 is operated from a 50 to 60 Hz single phase AC mains supply.
Voltage 100 – 240 Vac.
Before connecting the mains supply, the following checks and adjustments should be performed to ensure safe operation of the 1309.
2.1.3Checking the Power Cord
Use the Power Cord delivered with the 1309 or check that the Cord
used is rated minimum 10A / 250V.
2.1.4Checking the Fuses
Use a small flat-bladed screwdriver to prise open the flap surrounding
Again using the screwdriver, gently lever the fuse-holders out from
their slots. See Fig. 2.2.
Fig.2.2. Inserting the fuses into the 1309’s fuse holder
Use two 1.6A slow-blow fuses (LumaSense No. VF0007), they are sup-
plied with the instrument.
When replacing the fuse-holders, ensure that the direction of the white
arrows on each holder matches the arrows marked on the covering flap.
2.2 Connecting the 1309 to the System Controller
The 1309 is connected to the System Controller by the IEEE interface
bus, over which the 1309 receives the commands and data which control it. Further information about the cables available from LumaSense
to connect the 1309 to the IEEE interface bus, and about the IEEE interface of the 1309, are given in section 4.1.
The 1309 combined with a Gas Monitor and a controlling computer provides a system that offers wide-ranging monitoring capabilities. The
1309 makes it possible to perform multipoint monitoring tasks in many
different situations and environments, without changing the system
components.
An example of a multipoint, multi-gas monitoring system is shown in
fig. 2.3. In such a system, the sampler system takes a sample of the
return-air from the room, and delivers it to the 1412 for analysis. While
the 1412 performs one analysis, the 1309 takes the next sample for
analysis from the room.
Fig. 2.3 A typical sampling system, shown with an application example.
Up to 12 analyses can be performed simultaneously using one
1309. LumaSoft Gas Multipoint Innova 7850 Application Software gives control of all the functions of the system.
LumaSense Technologies has a 7850 Application Software to give full
coordination and control of all the sampling and monitoring functions of
such a system. The application software package can control one 1309
unit and one 1412.
