USING THIS MANUAL

The Novatech 1638 Oxygen Transmitter has a variety of user-selectable functions.
They are simple to use because each selection is menu driven. For options you are not sure about; read the manual on that particular item.
Please read the safety information below and the ‘Installation’ section before connecting power to the analyser.
CAUTION 1
The probe or sensor heater is supplied with mains voltage. This supply has electrical shock danger to maintenance personnel. Always isolate the analyser before working with the probe or sensor. The EARTH wire (green) from a heated probe or sensor must ALWAYS be connected to earth.
CAUTION 2
Combustion or atmosphere control systems can be dangerous. Burners must be mechanically set up so that in the worst case of equipment failure, the system cannot generate explosive atmospheres. This danger is normally avoided with flue gas trim systems by adjustment so that in the case of failure the appliance will not generate CO in excess of 400 ppm in the flue. The CO level in the flue should be measured with a separate CO instrument, normally an infrared or cell type.
CAUTION 3
The oxygen sensor which is heated to over 700°C (1300°F) and is a source of ignition. Since raw fuel leaks can occur during burner shutdown, the analyser has an interlocking relay that removes power from the probe or sensor heater when the main fuel shut-off valve power is off. If this configuration does not suit or if it is possible for raw fuel to come into contact with a hot oxygen probe or sensor then the Model 1638 analyser with a heated probe or sensor will not be safe in your application. An unheated probe can be utilised in such applications, however the oxygen readings are valid only above 650°C (1200°F).

1.3 PURGE & CALIBRATION CHECK ACCESSORIES

Due to the absolute measurement characteristics of zirconia sensors and the self calibration features of Novatech analysers, probe calibration checks with calibrated gas are not normally required. In some installations however customers prefer the have a calibration check facility.
Novatech probes and analysers provide a ready method of connecting on-line calibration check gases. They provide on-line automatic checking of probe and analyser calibration, as well as a probe purge facility.
The absolute characteristics of zirconia sensors require only one calibration check gas to properly check the probe’s performance. Where required however, the dual gas calibration check facility can be utilised .
Dirty furnace applications often require the back purge facility to keep a probe filter free from blockage. (In these applications, it is more reliable to install probes pointing vertically dow nwards with no filter). Purge and calibration check solenoid valves can be operated manually or automatically from a 1638 analyser.
The external components required for automatic / manual gas calibration checking are:
A calibration check gas flow meter/regulator
A mains voltage (240 or 110 VAC) solenoid valve for each calibration check gas
The external components required for automatic / manual purging are:
A mains voltage (240 or 110 VAC) purge solenoid valve
A purge pressure switch, 0 to 35 kPa (0 to 5 psi), to test for filter blockage.
The user should supply:
Span gas cylinder(s), typically 2 % oxygen in nitrogen or a similar percentage of 0
gas stream being measured, to ensure fast recovery.
A 100 kPa (15 psi) clean and dry nitrogen supply when filter purging is required.

1.4 FILTER PURGE PRESSURE SWITCH

To automatically sense a blocked probe filter, a pressure sensor should be connected to the ‘purge’ line to the probe ‘cal’ port. It should be adjusted so that it energises just above the purge pressure with a new or clean filter installed. The switch contacts should be connected to terminals 12 & 13 (PURGE FL SWITCH). If the filter is still blocked or partly blocked after an auto purge cycle, the pressure switch will energise and cause a ‘Probe Filter Block ed’ alarm. The contacts must be normally closed.
The pressure switch should have an adjustable range of 0 to 35 kPa (0 to 5 psi).

DESCRIPTION

2.1 THE ANNEALING PROCESS (OR OTHER SIMILAR APPLICATIONS)

The annealing process is carried out in an atmosphere of hydrogen and nitrogen to protect the surface of the steel from oxidising and discolouring during the annealing process. There is usually some air leakage in a furnace and the hydrogen serves to “mop up” the oxygen by combining with it to form water vapour.

2.2 THE OBJECTIVE OF ATMOSPHERE MONITORING

The primary objective of monitoring the furnace atmosphere is to be able to measure whether the steel product in the furnace will become oxidised during the process and to raise an alarm to warn the operator that there is a problem.

2.3 WHAT DO WE NEED TO MEASURE?

The variable that we need to measure to monitor the atmosphere to prevent oxidation of the product is the oxygen partial pressure at the surface of the steel. At any particular furnace temperature, there is a unique oxygen partial pressure, above which the steel will tend to oxidise and below which no oxidation will occur. The steel acts as a catalyst in the hydrogen / nitrogen bringing the gas at the surface close to chemical equilibrium. The composition of the gas at the surface is normally different from that of the gas nearby. For example, trace oxygen is quickly converted to water vapour.
In the gas, a reaction to form water vapour requires collisions involving two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule, the probability of which is low. On the surface of the steel, one or the other of the molecules becomes partly immobilised. This increases the probability of successful collisions to form water vapour. Essentially, gas molecules are held on the steel surface, waiting for the complementary molecule(s) to arrive.

2.4 ZIRCONIA OXYGEN PROBE MEASUREMENT

The catalytic process which occurs on the surface of the steel also occurs on a zirconia oxygen sensor. This means that the measurement of the oxygen level with a zirconia oxygen sensor exactly duplicates the equilibrium conditions of the gas at the surface of the steel. It measures the oxidation potential of the gas or its potential to damage or discolour the steel.

2.5 OTHER TYPES OF OXYGEN MEASUREMENT

Other types of oxygen analysers such as a paramagnetic analyser measure the unreacted molecular level of oxygen in the furnace atmosphere, which has no direct thermodynamic relationship with the effect of the gas on the steel. These analysers are not useful for measuring the oxidation potential in annealing furnace atmospheres.

2.6 DEW POINT MEASUREMENT

Dew point measurement was commonly used in the past because dew point analysers were the only technology available at the time. Dew point can be related to the oxidation potential of the furnace atmosphere but the relationship depends on how much hydrogen is available at the surface of the steel. With dew point held constant, if the hydrogen level varies, so will the oxidation potential of the atmosphere. Dew point measurement is not the best method of measurement because of this. Also dew point instruments normally have limited reliability in on-line applications on annealing furnaces.
With a known hydrogen level, the dew point in the furnace can be calculated. This is provided as an output on a standard Novatech 1638 analyser but we recommend the use of the oxygen output from the same analyser. Both outputs are available simultaneously for operators who are more used to furnace dew point levels. The dew point output however is only an approximate guide if the hydrogen level in the furnace varies.

2.7 IN-SITU OXYGEN PROBES

There are very few oxygen probes on the market, which can operate reliably in an annealing furnace atmosphere at furnace temperatures. Novatech probes have been developed in co-operation with BHP steel for annealing furnace applications to provide a reliable measurement for monitoring both continuous and batch furnaces. BHP now have 60 Novatech probes and analysers installed to protect their products during the annealing process. These sensing probes give long life with no need for calibration. The most important feature however is that Novatech oxygen probes measure the oxygen partial pressure just as it occurs at the surface of the steel.

2.8 THE ZIRCONIA SENSOR

(
The analyser input is provided from a solid electrolyte oxygen probe, which contains a zirconia element and thermocouple. The probe is designed to be inserted into a furnace. Sampling lines and filters are not required for in­situ probes. When a sampling line is required, the sample flows to the sensor under process pressure in most applications. In applications where the process pressure is negative or neutral, a su ction pump will be required. A reference air pump is provided in the 1638 oxygen analyser. The internal construction of a probe is shown as follows.

Schematic View of a Sensor Assembly
The heater control in the 1638 analysers consists of a time proportioning temperature controller and solid state relay so that the thermocouple junction is controlled to 720°C. Probes operating in a combustion environment above 650°C do not require a heater. When exposed to different oxygen partial pressures at the outside and inside of the sensor, an EMF (E) is developed which obeys the Nernst equation:

2.9 THE ANALYSER

The 1638 analyser is a transmitter with two 4 to 20 mA outputs. One output is % oxygen or dew point with selectable zero and span. The second output can be selected as dew point, oxygen, auxiliary temperature or sensor EMF. Four alarm relays are provided. Refer to the sections 4.2 and 4.3 for more details.
The 1638 analyser is designed to operate with either one or two heated or unheated, zirconia probes in one process. If two probes are being used, the analyser can average the two oxygen and dew point signals, alarm when there is a high difference, transmit and display the average and/or individual oxygen signals. If heated probes are being used, the analyser will maintain the temperature of the sensor(s) at 720°C. The analyser solves the Nernst equation and will provide accurate oxygen measurements up to 1500°C (2730°F), although most probes are suitable only to 1400°C (2250°F). 1231 heated probes are limited to 900°C (1650°F).

2.10 ALARMS

Refer to OPERATOR FUNCTIONS Section 4 for details on alarm functions.

2.11 HEATER

CAUTION
The probe heater is supplied with mains voltage. This supply has electrical shock danger to maintenance personnel.
Always isolate the analyser before working with the probe.
The EARTH wire (green) from the probe / sensor must always be connected to earth.
The heater is supplied from the mains power directly, and the temperature is controlled initially at over 700°C (1300°F) after turn on.
2.12 APPLICATIONS WHERE SENSING POINT IS NOT AT ATMOSPHERIC
PRESSURE
To apply the 1638 analyser to processes, when the pressure at the point of measurement is significantly above or below atmospheric pressure, then compensation must be applied. (Refer to Set-up Steps 34 and 35 in Section 5.5). If two sensors are being used, they must be close to the same pressure.

2.13 PROBE IMPEDANCE

The probe impedance is a basic measurement of the reliability of the oxygen reading. A probe with a high impedance reading will eventually produce erroneous signals. The analyser regularly checks the probe impedance and if the impedance is above the maximum level for a specific temperature then the impedance alarm will be activated. Typical probe impedance is 1 KΩ to 8 KΩ at 720° C.

2.14 AUTO CALIBRATION – ELECTRONICS

The analyser input section is self calibrating. There are no adjustments. The analog to digital converter input stages are checked against a precision reference source and calibrated once every minute. Should the input electronics drift slightly then the drift will be automatically compensated for within the microprocessor. If a large error occurs due to an electronic fault then an ‘ADC CAL FAIL’ alarm will occur.
A one-off calibration procedure of the precision reference sources should never need to be repeated for the instrument life unless the instrument has been repaired. For a description of the calibration procedure, refer to ‘Setting Up The Analyser’ Section 5.5, items 7, 8 9 and 10.
The digital to analog converters or output section of the analyser are tested for accuracy every minute and if they are found to have an error then a ‘ADC CAL FAIL’ alarm will occur. The D/A sections are re-calibrated by pressing the ‘AUTO CAL’ button on the keyboard while in 'SET-UP' mode.
All output signals will drop to 0 mA for a one second period. It is suggested that a D/A re-calibration be performed after the instrument has stabilised, approximately 30 minutes after first switching on and after Setting Up The Analyser Section 5.5, items 6, 7, 8 and 9 have been completed, and then annually.

2.15 AUTO CALIBRATION CHECKING – PROBES

On-line automatic gas calibration check is not normally required. Where it is required however, the probe can be checked for accuracy in-situ and on-line. Solenoid valves can admit up to two calibrated gas mixtures into the probe via solenoid valves under microprocessor control on a timed basis. For details on installation refer Section 3.11. For details on setting up this facility refer to Set-up steps 41 to 53 in Section 5.5.
During probe auto calibration checking, the analyser output will freeze and remain frozen for a further adjustable period, allowing the probe time to recover and continue reading the furnace oxygen level.
Calibration check gases may be manually admitted by pressing the ‘CAL’ buttons on the keyboard while in ‘RUN’ mode. The analyser output is frozen during the pressing of these buttons and immediately becomes active when the button is released. If calibration gas checking is enabled in the Set-up menu for either gas, an automatic gas cycle can be started by pressing the ‘CAL’ buttons in RUN mode. The cycle can be terminated by pressing any other button.

2.16 AUTO PURGE

In steel annealing applications it is expected that the furnace will be gas fired. However, in oil and coal fired plant, it is possible for the probe sensing filter to become blocked. An automatic purge cycle can be set up so that a blast of air or nitrogen, maximum 100 kPa., will automatically back-flush the probe filter on a timed basis. Refer to Set-up steps 36 to 40 in Section 5.5. A purge pressure switch will sense if there is insufficien t flow to clear the filter during the purge cycle. In this case a ‘PROBE FILTER’ alarm will occur. The probe can be manually purged from the keyboard while in ‘RUN’ mode. The analyser output is not frozen during or after the pressing of this button. Automatic or manual purge is not available if two probes are being used. However, one of the gas check output could be used to purge the filter.

2.17 RS 485 AND RS 232C PORT

The serial port is for connecting a printer, a data logger, or any computer with an RS485 MODBUS or 232-C port. It can be used to monitor the transmitter and process by logging the values of functions selected in step 70 of the Set-up menu in Section 5.5. The log period may be selected in step 71, and the baud rate may be set in set-up step 72. Alarms, including the time they occurred, will be transmitted to the printer and computer whenever they are first initiated, accepted and cleared. The protocol for the serial port is eight data bits, one stop bit, no parity. Please contact the factory for further details on serial communications with external systems such as computers, DCS’s or PLC’s. The MODBUS address is set in step 81 of the set-up menu.

2.18 AUXILIARY TEMPERATURE THERMOCOUPLE

A furnace thermocouple should also be connected when an additional temperature display or transmitted signal is required. This input is not available if two probes are being used.

2.19 WATCHDOG TIMER

The watchdog timer is started if the microprocessor fails to pulse it within any one second period, (ie. fails to run its normal program). The microprocessor will then be reset up to three times until normal operation is resumed. Reset cycles are displayed by the POWER light on the keyboard. A steady ‘ON’ light indicates normal operation. If the program has not resumed normal operation after three attempts to reset, the common alarm relay will be activated. The reset function will continue repeatedly after the alarm. If a successful reset is achieved, the alarm will be cancelled and the analyser will continue to run normally.

2.20 BACK-UP BATTERY

The transmitter’s RAM and real-time clock are backed up by a lithium battery in the event of power failure. All set-up variables are saved and the clock is kept running for approximately ten years with the power off. The battery module should be replaced every 8 years. (It is the battery shaped device clipped in a socket labelled M1 on the 1630-1 PCB)

3.2 INSTALLING A 1231 OXYGEN PROBE

Weld a BSP or NPT socket to the furnace in a suitable position for sensing the furnace atmosphere. For the correct size of socket refer to probe data in Section 1. The oxygen probe is normally installed pointing vertially upwards in removable cover, coil annealing furnace. Probes can be mounted at any angle. If there are any particulates in the furnace, the filter can be omitted by pointing the probe vertically downwards. Otherwise the filters may have to be replaced periodically.
If installing a probe into a hot environment, slide the pro be in slowly to avoid thermal shock to the internal ceramic parts. If the furnace is 1000°C, it should take approximately ten minutes to install a 500 mm. probe, moving it in about 20 mm steps.
CAUTION
The oxygen probe should protrude into the furnace at least 25 mm. If the furnace has high velocity fan circulation a
filter should be used on 1231 oxygen probes or, in extreme cases, a flow diverting vane. Without a filter or vane the
fan velocity can cool the 1231 heater.
Although it is rare, occasionally a probe may sense oxygen vastly differently from the average reading in the furnace.
If it occurs, then the probe should be moved, or a longer probe installed. This phenomena is normally caused by
stratification of the furnace atmosphere.

Page 23

3.3 INSTALLING THE AUXILIARY THERMOCOUPLE

Weld a 1/2 inch BSP mounting socket to the furnace within about 300 mm, and upstream of the oxygen probe. The thermocouple should be of similar length to the oxygen probe to prevent furnace temperature distribution errors.

3.4 SHIELD CONNECTIONS

All external wiring to the 1638 analyser should be shielded. Do not connect shields at the field end. Simply clip off and insulate. An extra terminal strip may be required to connect all shields together. This should be supplied by the installer.

3.6 HEATER INTERLOCK RELAYS

CAUTION
Explosion protection for heated probes is achieved by switching the power to the probe heater off whenever the main
fuel valve is closed.
The principle of safety is that if the main fuel valve is open then main flame has been established. With this primary
source of ignition on, the probe heater can be safely switched on. The most dangerous situation is if fuel or hydrogen
leaks into the furnace when the fuel valve is closed. When power is removed from the main fuel valve the heater
should be switched off.
To achieve this protection, connect a main fuel valve voltage free contact to the ‘BURNER ON SWITCH’ terminals 18
& 19. When the main fuel valve is open, the voltage free contact should be closed. For installations where there is no
risk of explosion, connect a link between terminals number 18 & 19.
For Safety Interlock Contact must be closed when main fuel valve is open

3.8 CONNECTING THE AUXILIARY THERMOCOUPLE (OPTIONAL)

For 1231 heated probes, the auxiliary thermocouple must be a separate TC with the junction isolated from earth, mounted near to and upstream of the oxygen probe. It can be either type K or R. It is optional. If efficiency, oxygen deficiency or auxiliary temperature display or transmitted signals are not required, then an auxiliary TC is not necessary.

3.9 CONNECTING THE OUTPUT CHANNELS

The two 4 to 20 mA DC output channels are capable of driving into a 1000Ω load.

3.10 CONNECTING THE ALARMS

A common alarm, which should be connected for all installations initiates on alarms functions described below. Three additional alarm relays are available for selectable functions as listed in Section 4.2 and 4.3. Each relay has normally closed contacts. The contacts will open in alarm condition except for the optional horn function which operates with normally open contacts. Relays are connected as follows:
Relay Terminal Numbers
Common Alarm 29 & 30 Alarm 2 31 & 32 Alarm 3 33 & 34 Alarm 4 35 & 36

3.11 CONNECTING THE AUTOMATIC PURGE AND CALIBRATION CHECK SYSTEM

CAUTION
The purge and calibration solenoid valves are supplied with mains voltage. This supply has electrical shock danger to
maintenance personnel. Always isolate the analyser before working with the purge and calibration solenoid valves.
The on-line auto purge and calibration check system is optional. For details on its operation refer to Sections 1.3, 1.4,
2.9 and 2.10.
To automatically sense a blocked probe filter, a pressure sensor should be connected to the ‘purge’ line to the probe ‘cal’ port. It should be adjusted so that it energises just above the purge pressure with a new or clean filter installed. The switch contacts should be connected to terminals 12 & 13 (PURGE FL SWITCH). If the filter is still blocked or partly blocked after an auto purge cycle, the pressure switch will energise and cause a ‘Probe Filter Blocked’ alarm.
After installation the purge/cal system should be tested thoroughly for leaks. Any leaks can cause significant errors if the furnace is at negative pressure. If the furnace is at positive pressure, an outward leak can cause corrosion in the purge/cal system piping and fittings.
Note: If two probes are being used, the purge is not available, and Cal 2 gas must be connected to probe 2.

3.15 CONNECTING THE ANALYSER TO A MODBUS™ NETWORK

The analyser can be networked to other analysers and to a network master. The network uses the analyser RS485 port. Up to 31 analysers can be connected to the network, and can be interrogated by the Network Master.
NOTE: Hardware Protocol Selection
For the RS485 port on the analyser to operate, the link LK3 on the 1630-1 printed circuit board (mounted on the door of the analyser) must be set to the RS485 position. The LK3 is accessed by removing the cover from the door PCB. It is located at the bottom of the circuit board.
NOTE: Terminating Resistor
There is a terminating 100 ohm resistor fitted to the 1630-1 PCB. Link LK2, in the bottom left-hand corner of the PCB on the door, is used to connect the terminating resistor. Link LK2 must be removed on all analysers except on the end of the network line string, a terminating resistor should be enabled with LK2 at each end if the network line.
The protocol of the network is –
Baud Rate 9600 Parity none Stop Bits 1 RS485 Half Duplex Mode RTU (binary mode)

COMMISSIONING

3.16 CONNECTING POWER

Before commissioning the probe, sensor or transmitter, read the CAUTION paragraphs at the front of this manual. Check that the mains supply voltage switch is set for the correct supply voltage, and that the green / yellow EARTH wire MUST be connected to earth.

3.17 COMMISSIONING – SET-UP MODE

Press the SET-UP button to select the ‘SET-UP’ mode. Most of the default settings of the functions will be co rrect, or will have been pre-set at the factory. Refer to Section 5.5 for more details.
Check the following set-up functions ­ 2 to 6 Date /time 7 to 10 Reference voltages 11 & 12 Probe offset 22 & 23 Sensor type
26 to 28 Output channel #1 29 to 31 Output channel #2 37 Auto purge 41 Auto gas calibration checking 54 to 69 Alarm set-up 80 Hydrogen level

3.18 COMMISSIONING – RUN MODE

When the analyser is turned on it will go to RUN mode. The SET-UP/RUN button will toggle between the two modes. The upper line of the display will now read ‘% OXYGEN’. If the probe temperature is not above 650°C, a “Probe Low Temperature” message will be flashed on the lower line. The probe temperature can be checked on the lower line of the display.

3.19 BURNER BYPASS SWITCH

Heated probes and sensors should have their heater supply interlocked. If the combustion appliance is not running, then power will not be supplied to the heater. To commission an oxygen probe when the main burner is turned off, switch power off the analyser, remove the probe from the furnace.
Re-apply power to the analyser, press the BURNER BY-PASS switch into the ‘DOWN’ or ‘ON’ position . This will apply power to the probe heater even when the plant is not running. The offset can now be set and calibration checked with appropriate calibration check gases (typically 2% oxygen in nitrogen).
Ensure that the burner by-pass switch and the power are turned off before the p robe is re-installed. An alarm will occur if the BURNER BY-PASS switch is turned on (down) during normal operation.

3.20 CHECKING THE ALARMS

If any alarms are present the alarm LED will be lit, either flashing or steady. To interpret the alarms, press the alarm button until all alarm functions have been displayed. Rectify the cause of each alarm until no further alarms appear on the display. For details on the operation of the alarm button and the alarm functions refer to Section 4.

3.21 PROBE CALIBRATION

The zirconia sensor provides an absolute measurement of oxygen partial pressure. There are no calibration adjustments, apart from ‘SENSOR OFFSET’, for the probe. The probe EMF is either correct or replacement is required. To check that the probe is functioning correctly, firstly check that the high impedance alarm is not activated causing a ‘SENSOR FAIL’ alarm. The actual impedance can be displayed on the lower line. It should be less than 9 KΩ at 720°C.
Once it has been established that the impedance is normal, the offset may be set using the millivolt level marked on the oxygen probe. Refer to Section 5.5.11. The probe offset can b e tested on site. A small flow of air must be admitted to both the ‘REF’ and ‘CAL’ ports when testing the probe offset. If the probe is in the process, the air must fully purge the probe sensor without interference from the process gas sample.
August 2009 30 1638 Dew Point Analyser
Page 33

3.22 FILTER PURGING

Purging probe filters is controlled from the ‘PURGE’ button on the analyser when in ‘RUN’ mode. If ‘AUTO PURGE’ has been enabled in set-up 37, pressing the PURGE button will start the automatic cycle. Pressing any other button will cancel the auto purge cycle. If AUTO PURGE was not enabled, the purge solenoid will only stay open for as long as the button is pressed. Gradually adjust the purge gas supply regulator, increasing the pressure until sufficient flow is obtained to clear the filter. This is best checked with a dirty filter after a period of operation, by withdr awing the probe from service and watching any build up on the filter being blown off at the set pressure. Normally 30 kPa (5 psi) is adequate but the air pressure may be set as high as 100 kPa (15 psi).

3.23 CALIBRATION GAS CHECK

If the installation has a filter purge facility, set this up first. Refer to the previous paragraph. Press the ‘CAL 1 or ‘CAL 2’ button while in ‘SET UP’ mode to obtain a reasonable flow through the calibration check gas flow meter. If air is being used as a calibration check gas, use the air from the regulator for filter purge. Then, when setting up a gas for calibration checking, set the pressure from the calibration gas cylinder so that it is the same as the pressure set on the air regulator. Then the setting on the rotameter / flow regulator will be the same as that for the air flow. Required flows are about 2 litres per minute.
Air is not the best gas for calibration checking on a zirconia sensor. The output of a zirconia sensor with reference air is zero millivolts. It is better to choose a gas value which provides a reasonable output from the sensor and which is near to the process oxygen level. A cylinder with 2% oxygen in nitrogen is a commonly used calibration gas. The maximum pressure on the calibration check gas cylinder regulators is 100 kPa (15 psi).
Note: If two probes were selected in set-up 1, ‘Cal Gas 2’ must be connected to probe 2.

3.24 DUST IN THE FURNACE

For unheated probes with no filter, entrained solids or dust in the furnace does not present a problem unless the dust, when settled, is not porous. Allow the dust in the process to build up on the probe. It will form a porous layer slowing the response time. To avoid mechanical abrasion of the electrode material in installations with unheated oxygen probes, pack ‘SAFFIL’ or equivalent alumina based ceramic fibre in the sensing holes to protect the electrode. Do not use silica based ceramic fibres such as ‘KAOWOOL’, which can attack the electrode at high temperatures. Once the dust has built up the response time of the probe will be slower.
For heated probes the preferred method of mounting for dust laden applications is facing vertically downwards with the filter removed. Probes can also be mounted horizontally with no filter with some dusts. An occasional automatic back purge is helpful in this case.
Normally heated probes are supplied with filters for applications with particulate in the furnace. The probe response time should be tested when the probe is first installed, and then regularly until it remains constant for a significant period. Filter purging should be set up on the time periods determined by these tests. To test the probe response time, use a stop watch to obtain the time for a probe to achieve a 63 % change from one reading to another. If a p r obe filter blocks completely in a short period of time, then there is no option but to use the probe without the filter.

Any number of these variables can be displayed sequentially by pressing the ‘DISPLAY’ button. Items can be selected for display or deleted in Set-up step 33 on the keyboard. In addition to the above lower line displays, the analyser will automatically display:
“Sensor 1 Temp Low”, when probe one is below 650°C “Sensor 2 Temp Low”, when probe two is below 650°C
“Gas 1 ON”, “Gas 2 ON” for Calibration check Gas 1 or 2
“Purging Probe”
“Sensor 1 Thermocouple Wrong Polarity” “Sensor 2 Thermocouple Wrong Polarity”
“Aux Thermocouple Wrong Polarity”
NOTE:
2. The run time will be the period of time the BURNER ON SWITCH (terminals 18 & 19) contact is closed (ie.
main fuel valve open). If no explosion protection is required, a permanent bridge between the BURNER ON SWITCH terminals will register run time whenever the analyser is powered.
3. This timer can be used as a probe replacement and/or boiler service schedule aid. The start time is reset by
changing the ‘SERVICE DAY’ in set-up mode on the keyboard.
4. If you hold the display button down as you switch on the power, the maximum ambient temperature which the
instrument has been subjected to, will be displayed. This temperature should be less than 50°C.

4.2 ALARM BUTTON

Repeatedly pressing the ‘ALARM’ button will produce alarm displays in sequence on the lower line of the LCD display. If an alarm has cleared prior to pressing the ‘ALARM’ button, it will not re-appear on a second run through the alarms. Active alarms which have been previously displayed will have ‘acc’ (accepted in lower case), displayed alongside. New alarms will not have ‘ACC’ (in upper case) displayed until a second press of the ‘ALARM’ button. After the last active alarm is indicated, the lower line of the display will return to the last displayed lower line variable. Alarms may also be accepted remotely by a temporary closure of a switch connected to terminal 16 & 17, ‘REMOTE ALARM RESET’.
The alarm ‘LED’ will flash when there is an un-accepted alarm. Pressing the ‘ALARM’ button will cause the LED to go steady if any alarms are still active, or extinguish if there are no active alarms. The horn relay will operate when an alarm occurs. Pressing ‘ALARM’ will mute a horn relay (if one of the user configurable relays have been selected as a ‘Horn’ relay) which will re-initiate on any new alarms.

4.3 ALARM SCHEDULE

4.3.1 SUMMARY OF ALARMS – COMMON ALARM

1. ‘Sensor 1 Fail’
2. ‘Sensor 2 Fail’
Oxygen cell or electrode failure (high impedance), (inhibited under 650°C).
3. ‘Heater 1 Fail’
4. ‘Heater 2 Fail’
In the first 20 minutes of power being applied to the heater after being switched on, this alarm will not occur, but a ‘Sensor # Lo Temp’ display will occur and common alarm relay will be activated. Refer to Section 6.11. If an ADC alarms occurs, the heaters will automatically be turned off.
5. ‘Sensor 1 TC Open’
6. ‘Sensor 1 TC Open’
Probe thermocouple is open circuit. The heater in heated probes will switch off.
7. ‘Aux TC Open’
Stack thermocouple is open circuit. If the thermocouple is not needed, select “NO T/C” for “Aux TC Type” or place a short circuit between terminals 5 & 6.
8. ‘Ref Pump Fail’
The reference air pump in the analyser has failed.
9. ‘ADC Cal Fail’
The analog to digital converter has been found to fall outside the normal calibration specifications. In this case the probe heater will automatically be turned off.
10. ‘Mains Freq’
The sample of the mains frequency has failed.
11. ‘DAC Cal Fail’
The digital to analog and voltage isolator circuit has been found to fall outside the normal calibration specifications. This check is only performed when the ‘AUTO CAL’ button is pressed. Refer to Section 6.3.
12. ‘Probe Filter
Blocked probe filter. This test is only performed when automatic purging of the probe is requested. Refer to step 36 in the set-up menu Section 5.5. This alarm will not reset until the next purge cycle which can be initiated manually or automatically.
13. ‘Gas 1 Cal Err’
Probe does not correctly calibrate to calibration check gas 1.
14. ‘Gas 2 Cal Err’
Probe does not correctly calibrate to calibration check gas 2.
August 2009 1638 Dew Point Analyser 35
Page 38
15. ‘Burner bypass’
The safety interlock relay has been bypassed by turning on the ‘BURNER BYPASS’ switch on the terminal printed circuit board. Refer to Section 3.18
16. ‘Watchdog Timer’
Microprocessor error. This alarm will not appear on the display. The common alarm relay will be forced open circuit. If the watchdog timer senses a malfunction in the microprocessor, it will attempt to reset the analyser every 2 seconds. After two resets the alarm relay contacts will go open circuit.
17. ‘BB RAM Fail”
The battery backed memory module has failed in service. The device normally lasts 10 years. It is the plug-in battery like module on the 1630 -1 board, labelled M1.

4.3.2 SUMMARY OF ALARMS – SELECTABLE ALARMS

NOTE: The process alarms must be enabled in set-up 54 if required. There are three user configurable alarm relays. Any or all of the following functions can be selected for each relay.
18. ‘Dew Point 1 High”
The dew point measured by probe 1 (Dew Point 1 High) is above the limit set in set-up 59, and has been there for longer than the time set in set-up 60.
19. ‘Dew Point 2 High”
The dew point measured by probe 2 (Dew Point 2 High) is above the limit set in set-up 61, and has been there for longer than the time set in set-up 62.
20. ‘Oxygen % 1 High”
The oxygen measured by probe 1 (Oxygen % 1 High) is above the limit set in set-up 55, and has been there for longer than the time set in set-up 56.
21. ‘Oxygen % 2 High”
The oxygen measured by probe 2 (Oxygen % 2 High) is above the limit set in set-up 57, and has been there for longer than the time set in set-up 58.
22. ‘Oxygen % deviation High”
The oxygen difference measured by probe 1 and 2 is above the limit set in set-up 65, and has been there for longer than the time set in set-up 66.
23. ‘Dew point deviation High”
The dew point difference measured by probe 1 and 2 is above the limit set in set-up 63, and has been there for longer than the time set in set-up 64.
24. ‘Probe Temperature’
The probe temperature is under 650°C. The oxygen an dew point readings are therefore invalid. If the sensor heater has been on for more than 20 minutes and the temperature is less than 650°C a ‘heater fail’ alarm will occur. NOTE: The ‘Probe Temp’ relay function is used with unheated probes to indicate oxygen reading is invalid (the probe is below 650°C), in case the process temperature falls below this level. For heated probes this relay will be energised while the probe is heating up from ambient.
25. ‘Cal in Progress’
A calibration check is occurring, either manual ( in RUN mode) or automatic
26. ‘Probe Purge’
A probe purge is occurring, either manual ( in RUN mode) or automatic
27. Alarm Horn
This is not an alarm condition. If one of the three user configureable alarm relays have ‘Alarm Horn’ enabled, the relay will have closed contacts only when there is an un-accepted alarm on the analyser. Press the alarm button twice to accept any new alarm and to cancel the horn relay. This is only available on relay 4.

4.3.3 ALARM RELAYS

The alarm relays are fail safe. That is, the contacts will be closed during normal operation, and will be open circuit if there is an alarm or if the power is removed from the analyser.

4.4 POWER LAMP

Illuminates when power is connected to the analyser. If the lamp is flashing, the watchdog timer is attempting to reset the microprocessor. Replace the 1630-1 microprocessor PCB.

4.5 BURNER BYPASS SWITCH

This switch is mounted on the terminal PCB near the POWER switch. Before the heater in a heated probe, or the alarms will be enabled, the probes must be enabled. There are two ways of doing this. Use the safety interlock on terminals 18 & 19 (BURNER ON switch), or press the BURNER BYPASS switch to the ON position. While the BURNER BYPASS switch is on there will be an alarm, “Burner Bypass”. If it is not needed to have the analyser interlocked with the combustion appliance terminals 18 & 19 can be connected together.

The calibration constants are retained in battery backed memory unless a ‘COLD START’ is performed. Connect a 3 1/2 digit multimeter negative lead to the test point marked ‘C’ to the right of the PCB on the inside of the door (labelled ‘REF VOLTS’). Measure the four voltages on the test point marked 1 to 4 with the positive lead. Refer to Figure 6.2 in the 1638 manual. Enter the measured values in set-up items 7 to 10. Whenever new values are entered the D/A section should be re-calibrated, Refer to Section 6.3.
August 2009 1638 Dew Point Analyser 43
Page 46

11. Set Probe or Sensor 1 Offset

12. Set Probe or Sensor 2 Offset (When 2 sensors are selected in set-up 1)

A new EMF offset must be entered whenever a new oxygen probe or sensor is installed to calibrate for any offset an individual probe or sensor may have. Each probe or sensor will have an offset value noted on a removable tag. Enter the ‘SENSOR OFFSET’ value with the underline polarity, eg. if offset value is -1.2 mV. enter -1.2 mV. The typical maximum is 2mV.
To check a probe or sensor offset on site, the probe or sensor must be sensing air with reference air and allowed to settle at the probe operating temperature for 30 minutes. Read the offset in ‘RUN’ mode in millivolts on the lower line. Offset errors can occur if the sensor does not have some air passing over it. A gentle flow of air in the calibration check port can be provided by a reference air pump or similar. For heated probes or sensors, if the combustion appliance is not operational and the probe or sensor heater is interlocked with the ‘BURNER ON’ signal, the ‘BURNER BYPASS’ switch should be set to ‘ON to power the probe heater after removing the probe from the flue.
CAUTION DANGER
Return the BURNER BYPASS switch to normal (off) before installing the probe in the flue.
For unheated probes, the probe sensing tip must be raised to at least 650°C with a portable furnace. (Available as an accessory).
Determine the probe or sensor offset in ‘RUN’ mode. Select ‘Sensor EMF’ on the lower line. With probe in air, stabilised at temperature for 30 minutes, read the ‘Sensor EMF’. Switch back to ‘set-up’ mode and enter ‘Sensor Offset’ of equal value and the same polarity. eg. If the measured ’SENSOR OFFSET’ was -1.2 mV, enter -1.2 mV.
When reading the EMF offset, the flue pressure compensation must be set. If the probe has been removed from the flue, set the flue pressure compensation to 0 in set-up step 35.

13. 4-20mA Calibration Options, Channel #1

Select the calibration method for the 4-20mA output channel #1. The output channels can be either calibrated by simply pressing the ‘AUTO CAL’ button, or can be trimmed at both the 4mA and 20mA ends of the scale using an external multimeter.
Options:
1. Auto Calibration *
2. Manual Calibration
3. Set 4mA Trim
4. Set 20mA Trim
If ‘AUTO CAL’ is selected, the output channel is calibrated when ‘Auto Cal’ is initiated from the keyboard (See section 6.3). If ‘MAN CAL’ is selected, it is necessary to trim both ends of the 4-20mA output range using the 4mA and 20mA options in this menu item. Selecting ‘MAN CAL’ inhibits the ‘Auto Cal’ process of this channel. Always do the 4mA trim first, and then the 20mA trim. After trimming both ends of the scale, return the ‘CALIBRATION OPTIONS’ menu option back to ‘MAN CAL’ (not ‘AUTO CAL’), or the calibration factors will be over written by the next ‘AUTO CAL’.
For more details on calibrating the output channels, see section 6.3.
NOTE: If the analyser will only stay in either ‘4mA TRIM’ or ‘20mA TRIM’ modes for 30 minutes before it automatically returns to ‘MAN AL’.

Yes No *
August 2009 48 1638 Dew Point Analyser
Page 51

38. Time Between Purges

Set the time between purges eg. a two hourly purge or a 100 hourly purge.
Range:
1 to 199 hours. Default setting is 24 hours.

Set up purge duration to a number between three and ten seconds. The filter is actually purged in less than one second, but three seconds are required for the purge flow switch to check that the filter is not blocked.
Range:
0 to 10 seconds. Default setting is 10 seconds.

40. Purge Freeze Time

After the purge period the transmitter output will remain fixed (frozen) for an adjustable period to allow the probe reading to return to the correct process level and avoid output ‘bumps’. The freeze period time required will depend on the probe response time and thus its design, and whether it has a filter or not. To determine the required freeze time, manually perform a purge while the plant is in operation and note the time required for the reading to return to the correct process level within approximately 0.5 % oxygen. Range: 100 to 1000 seconds in ten second steps. Default setting is 60 seconds.

Set the number of hours between autocal Gas 1. A typical time would be 24 or 168 hours. (Daily or weekly). Range: 1 to 1999 hours. The default setting is 1 hour.
August 2009 1638 Dew Point Analyser 49
Page 52

46. Duration Of Autocal Gas 1

Set the number of seconds that the autocal gas solenoid will be open. At the end of this period, if the oxygen level measured is not within the limits set for Cal Gas 2, an ‘Gas 2 Cal Error’ will initiate. To determine the minimum time required for a particular length or design of probe to settle, manually admit cal gas while observing the oxygen reading in ‘RUN’ mode. Typical minimum times vary from 15 seconds to 90 seconds, depending on the probe length and gas plumbing arrangement. If there is a filter fitted to the oxygen probe, the calibration check reading will be much closer to the actual gas value.
Range: 0 to 90 seconds. The default setting is 10 seconds.

47. Freeze Time Gas 1

After the Cal Gas 1 period, the transmitter output will remain fixed (frozen) for an adjustable period to allow the probe reading to return to the correct process level and avoid output ‘bumps’. The freeze period time required will depend on the probe response time, and whether or not it has a filter fitted.
Range: 10 to 100 seconds in ten second steps. The default setting is 30 seconds. To determine the required freeze time, manually perform a calibration check with Gas 1 while the plant is in operation and note the time required for the reading to return to the correct process level within approximately 0.5 % oxygen.

48 to 53. Cal Gas 2 Parameters

Enter the same requirements for Cal Gas 2 as per set-up steps 42 to 47 for Cal Gas 1. Cal Gas 2 could typically be 2 % oxygen in nitrogen.

77. Reference Air Selection

The reference air supply for the oxygen sensor is normally supplied from the analyser. If the internal pump is not being used, ‘External’ must be selected to stop the ‘Ref Pump Fail’ alarm. If an external air supply that has a known relative humidity, select ‘Instrument Air’. This will allow the relative humidity level to be entered in set-up 78. Less than half a litre per minute provides sufficient reference air for any sensor. Note: If ‘Internal’ is selected, and a reference airflow sensor is connected to CN8 on the 1630-2 (terminal) PCB, the pump is cycled on and off within a minute.
Options
Internal * External Instrument air
August 2009 1638 Dew Point Analyser 53
Page 56

78. Reference Air Relative Humidity

This selection will only appear if ‘Instrument Air’ is selected in set-up 73. If the reference air is being supplied from an instrument air supply, the relative humidity will be different from the ambient air being measured within the analyser. In this case set the set the RH to the RH of the air supply. As a guide, the RH of a compressor driven air supply is up to 10%.
Range:

79. Damping Factor

Each time a new reading is read from the oxygen probe or sensor, the new reading is averaged with the last readings taken, before the new average is either displayed on the LCD, or sent to the 4 to 20 mA output. The smoothing of the oxygen signal is an exponential function. If a factor of 5 is used, a step change of input signal will take about 5 seconds to reach 63% of the change on the output/display. A value of zero entered here will mean that every new reading from the probe or sensor will be sent to the display unaltered.
Range
0 to 20. Default setting is 5. Zero will turn the damping off.

80. Digital Output Filter Enable

If the dew point reading on the display or on the 4-20 output reads short duration unexpected changes, the digital filter may be enabled to exclude these nuisance diversions.
Options
Yes No *

81. External Hydrogen Level Input Enable

The signal must be proportional to hydrogen, but can represent any range (zero and span ) from 0 to 100%. The signal can either be a 0 to 5 volt or a 0 to 20 mA level. Normally the hydrogen in the furnace is constant, and therefore select 'No' in this function, and set a hydrogen level in set-up 84.
Options
Yes No *

82. External Hydrogen Level Input Zero Level

Set the zero level of your hydrogen level signal. If your signal is proportional to hydrogen from 5 to 20 %, set this function to 5 %.
Range
0 to 100 Default setting is 0 %

83. External Hydrogen Level Input Span Level

Set the span level of your hydrogen level signal. If your signal is proportional to hydrogen from 5 to 20 %, set this function to 20 %.
Range
0 to 100 Default setting is 100 %

84. Fixed Hydrogen Level

Set the hydrogen of the furnace to be used in the calculation of dew point. This is not required if an external hydrogen input is being used (set-up steps 82 and 83)
Range
0.0 to 100.0 Default setting is 6.5 %

85. Pre-reaction Oxygen or Dew Point Instrument Mode Selection

The 1638 has been designed to measure oxygen in a hydrogen/nitrogen atmosphere. However, to simplify the operation of the instrument, the 4-20mA output ranges, the alarms and the lower lin e displays will tailored to suit the selected instrument mode.
Options
Dew Point * Pre-reaction Oxygen
Range
0 to 100 Default setting is 100 %

86. MODBUS™ Address

This function is used when networking of one or more analyser back to a master computer or data acquisition system is required. For more details on the functions of the MODBUS™ see Section 2.12, and Appendix 6. The valid range of MODBUS™ addresses is from 1 to 31. Any analyser with zero selected as the MODBUS™ address will have the MODBUS™ disabled, and the DATA log function enabled. For the connection details, see Section 3.15. NOTE: If the MODBUS™ address is changed, the analyser must be turned off and back on for the address change to take effect.
Range
0-31 Default setting is 0 which disables the MODBUS communications.

6.1 COLD START

A ‘COLD START’ will resets all ‘Set-up’ mode entries to their normal default values. ‘COLD START’ will show on the display for a second prior to a microprocessor initialising sequence, which takes about seven seconds. After a ‘COLD START’, it is necessary to set all new variables in the ‘SET-UP’ mode, including calibration voltages and time and date.
To initiate a ‘COLD START’ -
Turn the mains power off Remove the ‘COLD START LINK’ (this is located on the door PCB, next to the keyboard lock switch, behind the shield)
Turn the mains power on. The message “Cold Start......” will be displayed.
Leave the LINK off until the message “Replace c/s Link” is displayed. Replace the LINK. The date and version number of the software will be displayed.
A ‘WARM START’, which is performed by applying power with the COLD START LINK in its place, will retain all data previously entered in the Set-up mode.

Location of Calibration Test Points
The analyser maintains its accuracy over a very long by continuously checking itself against internal stabilised references. The only calibration required is to set the actual values of these references into battery back ed memory. The analyser will read these references every minute and update its zero and span correction factors. See Section 5.5.7 to 10. These references should be checked every 12 months. An AUTOCAL of the analog output section should always be performed if these references are altered. See Section 6.3.

6.3 D/A (4-20MA OUTPUT CHANNELS) CALIBRATION

The calibration can either be done using the ‘Auto Cal’ or ‘Manual Cal’.
Auto Cal
The ‘Auto Cal’ mode is selected in set-up 13 (and 16 for channel 2). The analyser will automatically divert the output back to the input, measure the offset and span, and record the calibration factors for each channel. If either of the channels are selected to be calibrated manually, the factors will not be changed by an ‘Auto Cal’.
Manual Cal
The ‘Manual Cal’ mode is selected in set-up 13 (and 16). Set the 4mA calibration first and then the 20mA calibration.
1. Select ‘Set 4mA Trim’ in set-up 13 (or 16).
2. Return to RUN mode.
3. Measure the output on the channel to be calibrated with a digital multimeter. If the current is not ex actly 4.00mA,
return to set-up mode and change the 4mA calibration factor in set-up 14 (or 17).
4. Re-measure the current wh ile back in RUN mode until the current is within 3.9 to 4.1mA.
5. Return to set-up mode and select ‘Manual Cal’ in set-up 13 (or 16).
Set the 20mA calibration factor.
6. Select ‘Set 20mA Trim’ in set-up 13 (or 16).
7. Return to RUN mode.
8. Measure the output on the channel to be calibrated with a digital multimeter. If the current is not ex actly 20.00mA,
return to set-up mode and change the 20mA calibration factor in set-up 15 (or 18).
9. Re-measure the current wh ile back in RUN mode until the current is within 19.9 to 20.1mA.
10. Return to set-up mode and select ‘Manual Cal’ in set-up 13 (or 16).
This calibration is now saved in battery backed memory until The factors are changed in the manual calibration The analyser is forced into a COLD-START (see section 6.1) The calibration mode in set-up 13 (or 16) is changed to Auto Cal and an Auto Cal is initiated.
NOTE: The 4mA or the 20mA trim mode will only be held on the output channels for 30 minutes before automatically returning to ‘Manual Cal’ mode in set-up 13 (or 16).

6.4 PUMP REPLACEMENT

The reference air pump is mounted on the 1630-2 PCB in the base of the analyser. The operation of the pump is monitored by the analyser and alarms will be shown if a fault occurs. (“Pump Fail” alarm, “Pump Blocked” alarm ) To replace the pump, unplug all the field wiring terminals. ie. Probe connectors, power connector etc. Unplug the 10 way and the 40 way ribbon connectors. Remove the 5 captive screws that retain the terminal PCB in the base of the case. Remove the PCB from the case. The pump can now be un-screwed, and the wires un-plugged.

6.5 BACK-UP BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The back-up battery is contained within the battery-like real time clock/memory module, plugged into socket M2. It is rated for an average service life of greater than ten years. The module is not re-chargeable and should be replaced every three years with a stored transmitters with power off or every eight years with a transmitters which have had the power on. The memory module must be purchased from Novatech Controls or an agent of Novatech Controls. After replacing the battery, re-enter all set-up mode functions.

6.6 ELECTRONIC REPAIRS

Electronic schematics are included in Appendix 4. A competent electronic technician could perform troubleshooting with these schematics, aided by the analyser self-diagnostic alarms. It is recommended that service be performed on a change-over circuit board basis. A fast turn-around or replacement service is available from Novatech or accredited service agents. Other service aids, including a test EPROM firmware package and probe input simulator are also available.

6.7 INSTALLING A NEW PROBE OR SENSOR

Whenever a new oxygen probe or sensor is installed, the millivolt offset value should be entered. To achieve this refer to set-up 11 (and 12 for the second sensor).
The probe or sensor offset is noted on a tag or label attached to probe or sensor. To check an offset on site, the probe must be sensing air with reference air connected and allowed to settle at the operating temperature for 10 minutes. Read the offset in ‘RUN’ mode in millivolts on the lower line. Offset errors can occur if the sensor does not have some air passing over it. A gentle flow of air in the calibration check port can be provided by a reference air pump or similar. If a probe is in a process with the process running, the air purge on the sensing side of the sensor will only be successful if the probe has a filter or small sensing hole. Probes with open sensing ends or with larg e sensing holes allow the process gas to mix with the calibration gas, giving a false reading.
For heated probes or sensors, if the combustion appliance is not operational and the probe or sensor heater is interlocked with the ‘FUEL ON’ signal, the ‘BURNER BYPASS’ switch should be set to ‘BYPASS’ to power the probe or sensor heater after removing the probe from the flue. For unheated probes, the sensing tip must be raised to at least 650°C with a portable furnace.
CAUTION DANGER
Return the ‘BURNER BYPASS’ switch to normal (off) before installing the probe in the flue.

6.8 TEST EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

All measurements are simplified if an analyser is connected to the probe or sensor. Readings can then be easily taken of sensor impedance, EMF, temperature and percent oxygen. The analyser also provides proper heater control for heated probes or sensors.
The following tests are described using readily available workshop equipment where an analyser is not available. If an analyser is available the same test procedures will apply. First check all alarms on the analyser, allowing time for the probe or sensor to heat up after switch on.
An instrument to measure sensor EMF and temperature is required. A 3 1/2 or 4 1/2 digit multimeter will perform both measurements.
A separate temperature indicator to suit the probe or sensor thermocouple type is also useful, although not necessary.
A reference air pump is required and a cylinder of calibration check gas e.g. 2 % oxygen in nitrogen. The cylinder should have a pressure and flow regulator. Both of these are inexpensive devices available from gas supply companies. The calibration check gas should be chromatograph tested to an accuracy of 0.1 % oxygen.
TEST EQUIPMENT FOR UNHEATED PROBES
A small test furnace capable of raising the probe tip temperature to 720 °C is required. The furnace should have a uniform temperature for about 50 mm either side of the sensor tip.
TEST EQUIPMENT FOR HEATED PROBES
If a 1638 analyser is available at the test location then no other equipment will be required. If not, then a controllable power source for the heater is required. A Variac (variable transformer), set to approximately 100 or 240 volts will regulate the sensor temperature to 720° C.

6.9 TESTING A PROBE OR SENSOR

With the sensor heated to approximately 720 °C, either from a small test furnace or its own internal heater, connect a digital multimeter to the sensor electrode conductors. Connect the multimeter positive to the internal electrode conductor. Connect reference air to and apply a gentle purge of air to the probe calibration check port. Reference air flow should be the smallest flow available (less than 50 cc per minute). The multimeter should read zero millivolts ± two millivolts. If not, then there is a problem with the probe electrodes and the sensor needs refurbishing. Normally a faulty probe electrode is indicated with a high source impedance. 1234 sensors do not require reference air but a gentle flow of air should be admitted into the sample connection.
To test the source impedance, set the multimeter to read ohms and take a measurement within a couple of seconds, of the sensor impendence. Reverse the multimeter and repeat the reading. Take the average of the two readings for an approximate measurement of impedance. If the impedance is above 10kΩ, then the probe or sensor needs to be replaced. The sensor must be 720°C or above for this measurement. The reason that impedance measurements need to be performed quickly, is that the zirconia sensor polarises with the DC voltage from the multimeter across it.
If the probe or sensor tests reveal less than 2 mV offset and a good impedance reading, the next step is to apply a calibration check gas. The calibration check gas should be inserted in the calibration check port. With the calibration check gas flowing, the sensor should develop an EMF according to the tables in Appendix 1. If the EMF reading is low then there may be insufficient calibration check gas flow. Increase the calibration check gas until the reading is correct. An excessive calibration check gas flow will cause cooling on one surface of the sensor, giving temperature differential errors on the sensor.
As an alternative, using the reference air port, the calibration check gas can be inserted into the inside of a probe sensor. This requires a lower flow rate, and thus lower usage of calibration check gas. The flow rate should be similar to that of the reference air, which should be removed for internal calibration check. The sensor EMF reading will be identical but negative in polarity. A small flow of air should be flowing over the outside of the sensor, when testing in this way.
Occasionally, a sensor can develop offset with a polluted electrode caused by contaminants in the flue gas stream. In this case the impedance may be OK but the output incorrect. This phenomena is rare.

6.10 PROBE OR SENSOR THERMOCOUPLE

Although some unheated probes are specified without a thermocouple, most probes, both heated and unheated, have an integral thermocouple which is fitted in to the four bore insulator. The analyser has an alarm function which will advise the operator of an open circuit thermocouple, however bench testing can be performed by simply measuring the thermocouple continuity.

6.11 HEATER FAILURE

For heated probe or sensors, a heater failure will cause a ‘PROBE TEMPERATE’ or ‘HEATER FAIL’ alarm. Heaters can be tested with a continuity test. The heater impedance should be approximately 100Ω. Should the heater be open or short circuited, replace the probe or sensor.

6.12 FILTER BLOCKAGE

For oxygen probes or flow guide tubes with filters in installations with entrained solids in the flue gas, it is sometimes necessary to replace the filter. Filters are normally cleared with back purging. However fine fly-ash, or other particles can ultimately completely block a filter necessitating filter replacement. A new probe filter can be fitted

MODBUS™ REGISTER MAP AND APPLICATION NOTES
Modbus Functions Supported are:-
ReadHolding Register Function 3 WriteHolding Register Function 6 ( for allowable addresses only )
Introduction.
The 1638 Analyser implements the MODBUS™ slave protocol, it is intended to work in conjunction with a MODBUS™ master.
This is accomplished by setting the MODBUS™ address to some non-zero value in the range 1-31, setting the jumper positions to select the RS485 half duplex configuration, and re-starting the analyser.
The master must be configured as follows:-
A typical transaction would be to read the current value of a variable from the analyser.
The Register Addresses are as follows, to convert to Schneider addresses for earlier model PLC's address space, add 40001 to each address. or for later model PLC's with linear address space the address corresponds directly to %MW XXXX address.
For Example, to read probe temperature setpoint ­Read %MW1436 which is equivalent to holding register 41437 = 40001 + 1436
Some data is 32 bit data (double) which requires some care to ensure that the word order is correctly interpreted.
For Example, OXYGEN32, (dual probe) which is at address 2052 is interpreted as follows.
2052 contains the high 16 bits for probe 1 oxygen 2053 contains the low 16 bits for probe 1 oxygen
2054 contains the high 16 bits for probe 2 oxygen 2055 contains the low 16 bits for probe 2 oxygen
Baud Rate 9600 Parity None Stop Bits 1 RS485 Half Duplex Mode RTU ( binary mode)
The master sends a ReadHoldingRegister packet, with the appropriate address and the analyser responds with data at that address.

1638 Modbus Holding Registers for Alarms
The 1638 Modbus analyser has 30 alarm and warning states, all of which can be checked via Modbus. These 30 alarm and warning states cover all aspects of the operation of the analyser. For each of the 30 alarms, the 1638 has 5 possible states for each alarm:
0 Inactive 1 Timer Delay 2 Active 3 Accepted 4 Self Cleared
All alarm states are self explanatory except the timer delay state. In this state, the physical conditions required to trigger the alarm have already been met, but the alarms timed delay is preventing the alarm from being active. If the delay timer finishes counting down before the alarm state has been self cleared, the alarm will become active.
For checking alarms via Modbus, it is recommended to treat all alarms in a 'timer' state the same as inactive.
16-bit Byte Order Architecture
The 1638 Analyser uses 'big endian' byte architecture, meaning that for a 16-bit address block, the most significant byte (msb) appears first, followed by the least significant byte (lsb) second.
This becomes important for reading alarm states from the 1638 holding registers as all Modbus registers are treated as 16-bit variables. For the 1638 Modbus alarm holding registers, each 16-bit register contains two 8-bit alarm states, meaning that to check any single alarm state via Modbus will require 2 alarm states to be received, the second may be discarded.
This table shows the holding register and the relevant byte for each of the alarms states:
A# Description HR# A# Description HR#
1 Heater 1 Fail 2076 2 Sensor 1 Fail 2076 3 Probe 1 F ilter 2077 4 Probe 1 TC Open 2077 5 Reference Air Pump Fail 2078 6 Battery Backup Memory Fail 2078 7 Mains Power Fail 2079 8 ADC W arning 2079
9 DAC W arning 2080 10 Dew Point 1 High 2080 11 Dew Point 2 High 2081 12 Oxygen 1 High 2081 13 Oxygen 2 High 2082 14 Heater SSR Fail 2082 15 Dew Point Deviation 2083
For example, if you wished to read the state of the Heater SSR Fail Alarm, you would be looking for the msb from the holding register 2082. This would mean that for big endian byte order, you would be looking at the first byte in the analyser response if you requested a read single register from register 2082.
