1-3 SAMPLE GASES
WARNING
POSSIBLE EXPLOSION HAZARD
This analyzer is of the type capable of
analysis of sample gases which may be
flammable. If used for analysis of such
gases, the detection section of the analyzer must be either in an explosion proof
enclosure suitable for the hazardous classification of the gas , or, protected by a
continuous dilution purge system in accordance with Standard ANSI /N FPA-496
-1986 (Chapter 8) or IEC Publication
79-2-1983 (Section Three).
If explosive gases are introduced into this
analyzer, the sample containment system
must be carefully leak checked upon installation and before initial startup, during
routine maintenance and any time the integrity of the sample containment system
is broken, to ensure that the system is in
leak proof condition. Leak check instructions are provided in Section 4-1b on page
4-3.
Internal leaks resulting from failure to observe these precautions could result in an
explosion causing death, personal injury
or property damage.
Determination of whether a sample stream of
a particular composition is suitable for
monitoring depends on its compatibility with
the construction materials in a) the detector
cell, and b) the instrument flow system. In all
instruments, the detector cell utilizes a thin
film of phosphorous pentoxide (P
rhodium electrodes. Depending on the
intended application of a given instrument
version, its internal flow system is constructed
of either stainless steel (for corrosion
resistance) or brass (for non-corrosive sample
gases only).

2-4 SAMPLE CONNECTIONS AND SAMPLE
HANDLING RECOMMENDATIONS
Locations of sample inlet and outlet ports in
the various analyzer configurations are shown
in the engineering drawings located at the
back of the manual. All analyzers have 1/8
inch bulkhead, compression type tubing
fittings.
A suitable gas handling system is required to
deliver sample to the analyzer at the proper
pressure and flow rate. Acceptable sample
pressure range for the standard analyzer is 10
to 100 psig. A sample pressure outside this
range necessitates installation of an
appropriate accessory. Refer to Table 2-1.
Accessory Devices for Sample Pressure
Ranges on page 2-11.
Although installation of a sampling system is
essentially straightforward, problems resulting
from an improperly designed system can have
a highly adverse effect on analyzer
performance. Therefore, special care in
planning the installation is required to ensure
maximum reliability and accuracy.
In designing a sample system, refer to the
following general rules, which are applicable
to all installations and all analyzer
configurations.
1. Use of stainless steel tubing throughout is
strongly recommended. Its smooth walls
and passive surfaces minimize moisture
adsorption. Other metals, and plastics,
increase system response time and
decrease accuracy. Some plastics are
entirely unsatisfactory, because of
permeability to water vapor.
solution) through tubing until effluent is
essentially colorless.
c. Rinse with water and then with
acetone.
d. Purge with clean, dry, nitrogen or air.
3. Minimize internal surface area of sample
system by using minimum length,
minimum diameter lines. Generally, 1/8
inch o.d. tubing is recommended.
4. Provide high velocity sample flow. Where
pressure reduction is required before
sample enters the instrument, an important
factory is to locate the pressure regulator
as near the process stream as possible.
5. Use minimum number of valves and
fittings, each is a potential source of leaks.
6. Select components for minimum leakage
and moisture absorption. With pressure
regulators: (a) advise manufacturer of
extreme low leakage requirements, (b)
choose units with metallic, not elastomeric,
diaphragms. Use packless valves
wherever possible. Where pipe fittings are
required, seal with Teflon tape, not pipe
thread compound.
7. Avoid dead ended passages, voids, and
blind holes. They permit accumulation of
stagnant gases, resulting in sluggish
system response.
2. Tubing and other components in contact
with sample must be scrupulously clean.
Dirt and oil absorb water. Recommended
cleaning procedure for tubing is as follows:
a. Wash with acetone.
b. Pass cleaning solution (10% nitric acid
and 5% hydrofluoricacid in aqueous

OPERATING CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
Preparatory to startup and operation, it is recommended that the operator familiarize himself with the
instrument controls, described in this section.
All Trace Moisture Analyzers incorporate similar operating controls; however, locations of these controls
differ in the various instrument configurations. Refer
to appropriate illustration of Figure 3-1 on page 3-2,
Figure 3-2 on page 3-3, and Figure 3-3 on page 3-3.
3-1 RANGE SELECTOR SWITCH AND METER
The Range Selector Switch provides a choice
of five operating ranges: 1000, 500, 100, 50 or
10 ppm. Range designations signify the value
of a fullscale meter reading, in parts per
million of water by volume (v/v). The meter
scale is calibrated from 0 to 100%.
The STDBY position deactivates instrument
readout, but maintains the electronic circuitry
in energized condition, permitting immediate
resumption of operation when Range Switch
is turned to a numbered position. In standby
mode, current flows continuously through the
electrolytic cell to keep it dry.
CAUTION
SAMPLE FLOW CONTROL VALVE
To avoid damage to valve stem and seat,
never over-tighten Sample Flow Control
'Valve.
The Sample Flowmeter is a standard feature
in all panel mount instruments. For use with
portable instruments, the Sample Flowmeter
is incorporated into the optional Flowmeter
Accessory.
The Sample Flow Control Valve adjusts the
flow of sample gas through the electrolytic
cell. The Sample Flowmeter indicates
resultant nominal flow. Refer to Section 4-1c
on page 4-4.
3-3 BYPASS FLOW CONTROL VALVE AND BY-
PASS FLOWMETER
The Bypass Flow Control Valve and Bypass
Flowmeter are standard features of all panel
mount instruments. For use with portable
instruments, these two items are incorporated
into the optional Flowmeter Accessory.
At all times when sample gas is flowing
through the cell, electrical power should be on
and Range Selector Switch should be at
either a numbered position or the STDBY
position. Unless an electrical current is drying
the cell, a prolonged flow of wet sample gas
could wash the desiccant coating from the cell
electrodes.
The OFF position removes electrical power
from all circuits. Normally, this switch position
is used only during instrument servicing, and
then but briefly.
3-2 SAMPLE FLOW CONTROL VALVE AND
SAMPLE FLOWMETER
The Sample Flow Control Valve is provided in
all instruments.
Rosemount Analytical Inc. A Division of Emerson Process Management Operating Controls and Indicators 3-1
The valve adjusts the bypass flow. Resultant
flow rate is indicated by the flowmeter. Bypass
flow is adjustable from 0 to 2 cubic feet per
hour (approximately 940 cc/min). Increasing
the bypass flow decreases system response
time.
3-4 CONTROLS OF ALARM SETPOINT ACCES-
SORY (PANEL MOUNT ANALYZERS ONLY)
The Alarm Setpoint Accessory is used, in
combination with the Universal Alarm Board,
to actuate various alarm and, or, control
systems.

STARTUP
4-1 SYSTEMS UTILIZING PRESSURIZED GAS
SAMPLE
DANGER
POSSIBLE EXPLOSION HAZARD
This analyzer is of the type capable of
analysis of sample gases which may be
flammable. If used for analysis of such
gases, the detection section of the analyzer must be either in an explosion proof
enclosure suitable for the hazard classification of the gas, or, protected by a
continuous dilution purge system in accordance with Standard ANSI/NFPA
496-1986 (Chapter 8) or IEC Publication
79-2-1983 (Section Three).
If explosive gases are introduced into
this analyzer, the sample containment
system must be carefully leak checked
upon installation and before initial
startup, during routine maintenance and
any time the integrity of the sample containment system is broken, to ensure that
the system is in leak proof condition.
Leak check instructions are provided in
Section 4-1b on page 4-3.
Internal leaks resulting from failure to
observe these precautions could result in
an explosion causing death, personal
injury or property damage.
NOTE
If the instrument does not function properly during startup and calibration procedure, use the tests and adjustments
described in Section 7-2 Service, on
page 7-3.
This section is applicable to all analysis
systems except those utilizing the Low
Pressure Sampling Accessory. If this
accessory is used, refer to Section 4-2 on
page 4-8.
Before attempting operation, complete the
following procedures, in the sequence given.
1. Initial dry-down, Section 4-1a below.
2. System leak check, Section 4-1b on
page 4-3.
3. Instrument calibration, by appropriate
procedure of Section 4-1c on page 4-4.
a. Initial Dry-Down
CAUTION
ELECTROLYTIC CELL DAMAGE
To avoid damaging the electrolytic cell,
read the following instructions before
beginning the dry-down procedure.
1. Before supplying gas to sample inlet,
close Sample Flow Control Valve,
but do not over-tighten. Turn Range
Selector Switch to STDBY. Current
will now flow through electrolytic cell,
thus drying it.
2. Dry down the sample line and other
elements of the sample handling
system as follows:
a. Supply purging gas to sample
inlet at a pressure of between 10
and 100 psig. Use of dry inert
gas such as bottled nitrogen is
recommended, particularly if
sample contains corrosive or
reactive components such as
chlorine, hydrogen chloride,
hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen,
oxygen or unsaturated
hydrocarbons. However, if
sample stream consists of an
non-reactive substance such as
Rosemount Analytical Inc. A Division of Emerson Process Management Startup 4-1
Instruction Manual
081854-R
May 2002
Model 340
nitrogen, argon, helium, freon,
methane, etc, use of bottled inert
gas is unnecessary; the sample
stream itself may be used as the
purge gas.
b. Establish a considerable bypass
flow (2 cfh if sufficient gas is
available). With panel mounted
analyzer (or portable analyzer
utilizing bypass feature of
Flowmeter Accessory) bypass is
initiated by opening the Bypass
Flow Control Valve. Purge
system for several hours.
3. Check dry-down of electrolytic cell by
turning Range Selector Switch to
1000 ppm position; meter should
read on-scale. As cell dries down,
turn Range Selector Switch to
successively lower numbered
positions, always keeping the meter
on-scale. Continue until meter reads
on-scale on desired operating range.
4. Check dry-down of the sample
handling system as follows:
a. Slightly open the Sample Flow
Control Valve to obtain a
comparatively low flow; i.e.,
about 20 cc/min as indicated by
Sample Flowmeter (or other flow
measuring device used with
portable analyzer).
b. Turn Range Selector Switch to
1000 ppm; meter should read
on-scale.
When meter reads on-scale on
1000 ppm range, turn Range
Selector Switch to successively
lower numbered positions,
always keeping the meter onscale. Continue until meter reads
on-scale on desired operating
range.
5. Prepare for sample monitoring as
follows:
a. Return Range Selector Switch to
1000 ppm.
b. Pass sample gas through
instrument, if a different purge
gas has been used during drydown.
c. Set Sample Flow Control Valve
for flow of approximately 1000
cc/min, as indicated by Sample
Flowmeter (or other auxiliary flow
measuring device used with
portable analyzer). Exact flow
required for accurate readout will
be determined subsequently, as
explained in Section 4-1c on
page 4-4.
d. Turn Range Selector Switch to
successively lower numbered
positions, always keeping meter
on-scale, until meter reads onscale on desired operating
range.
At levels below 10 ppm, a longer period
of time is required to reach a constant
reading. This is due to the need to
establish an equilibrium between the low
level of moisture being measured and
the sample line components in contact
with the sample. To demonstrate this,
apply a heat gun to the incoming sample
line and observe the moisture change.
This procedure can also be used to
accelerate the dry-down time of a "wet"
sampling system.
When monitoring gas cylinders or in
other non-continuous sampling, use of a
nitrogen purged manifold to keep the
amount of sample line exposed to
ambient air as small as possible will
help reduce dry-down time.
CAUTION
If meter goes off-scale on 1000 ppm
range, sample handling system is insufficiently purged. To avoid damaging electrolytic cell, close Sample Flow Control
Valve, continue the purging per Step 2.

b. System Leak Check
An essential part of startup is elimination
of even the smallest leaks from the
sample handling system, both internal
and external to analyzer. Note that
water vapor will diffuse through a leak
into a high pressure gas system even
though the overall gas flow is outward
from the system. Movement of moisture
through the leak is determined by the
difference in water vapor partial
pressure across the leak, not the total
pressure differential.
Small, hard to detect leaks are generally
more troublesome than gross leaks; gas
from a large leak tends to sweep away
humid air from the vicinity and provide a
surrounding blanket of sample gas.
However, no leakage should be
tolerated.
Leak detection and elimination can be
time consuming and frustrating. To
minimize expenditure of time, use either
or both of the following leak check
procedures.
Soap Solution or SNOOP Method
To test for leakage:
1. Connect sample handling system to
sample source and to Trace
Moisture Analyzer. Sampling system
should utilize a packless block valve
for connection to the source, and
will probably incorporate a pressure
regulator and/or a relief valve.
2. Adjust sample pressure to a value
slightly below the setting of the
pressure relief valve (if provided) or
to about 50 psig (350 kPa) (if relief
valve not provided).
4. Apply soap solution or SNOOP (PN
837801) to all fittings and
connections.
5. Tighten any fittings where leakage is
evident by bubbling or foaming.
Variable Bypass Method
The following alternative or
supplemental leak test is applicable to
all panel mounted analyzers, and also to
portable analyzers that utilize the
bypass feature of the Flowmeter
Accessory. Usually, leakage from a
given source into the sample system is
relatively constant. Thus, leakage may
be detected by varying the bypass flow
rate while maintaining a constant
sample flow rate through the electrolytic
cell. For example, assume the sample
stream has a given moisture level, and
that a leak passes a small, constant flow
of water vapor into the sample system.
With a high bypass flow, a large
percentage of the water entering the
system through the leak passes through
the bypass flowmeter to vent, and does
not go through the electrolytic cell. If the
bypass flow rate is reduced, however, a
greater amount of the water vapor that
leaks into the system is carried through
the cell. Consequently, indicated
moisture level is higher with a low
bypass flow rate than with a high bypass
flow rate.
Thus, the criterion for absence of
leakage in the system is that indicated
moisture level must be independent of
bypass flow rate. After each change of
bypass flow rate, allow sufficient time for
the sample system to equilibrate before
reading the meter.

c. Instrument Calibration
Trace Moisture Analyzers are calibrated
for direct readout in ppm H
volume, based on a sample flow of 100
cc/min at 70°F (21°C) and 14.7 psia
(760 mm Hg). If sample conditions are
other than those stated, appropriate
corrections must be made.
Nominal flowmeter setting required for
air sample gas under the specified
conditions is 100. Compensation for the
particular sample gas and, or,
barometric pressure is made by using
an appropriately chosen flowmeter
setting, which may offer considerably
from the nominal value of 100. If great
accuracy is not required, the flowmeter
setting required may be computed as
explained in Sections 4-1d below and 41e on page 4-6. For utmost accuracy,
however, the flowmeter should be
calibrated experimentally, as explained
in Section 4-1f on page 4-6.
Temperature corrections, (applicable to
portable analyzers only), are explained
in Section 4-1f on page 4-6.
d. Computation of Sample Flowmeter
Settings
Typical sample flowmeter settings
required for various gases at a pressure
of 14.7 psia (760 mm Hg, normal value
at sea level) are listed in Table 4-1
below.
Values are flowmeter readings
corresponding to 100 cc/min flows of the
gases listed, with sample outlet vented
to atmospheric pressure at sea level
(14.7 psia). Values are applicable only
to Brooks flowmeters, These values
were determined experimentally, on a
single flowmeter. For greatest accuracy,
proper setting for the individual
flowmeter should be determined
experimentally, by the most appropriate
method of Section 4-1f on page 4-6.

The sample flowmeter is factory
calibrated at sea level, with outlet end
vented to atmospheric pressure (14.7

sea level, the flowmeter setting must be
changed appropriately to compensate
for reduced barometric pressure. The

f. Experimental Calibration of Sample
Flowmeter
For utmost accuracy, the sample
flowmeter should be calibrated
experimentally, at the installation site,
with the particular sample gas. Such
calibration compensates automatically
for effects of sample gas and barometric
pressure. Alternative methods are the
following:
Liquid Displacement
This method is suitable for all sample
streams except those containing water
soluble gases, such as SO
graduated cylinder filled with water is
inverted into a beaker of water. Gas
from the instrument outlet is brought by
hose to the bottom of the cylinder. The
time required to displace a given
quantity of water from the cylinder is a
measurement of the flow rate. (An error,
negligible for most applications, is
introduced by the pressure of the water
column in the cylinder and by the small
amount of sample gas that dissolves in
the water.)
Soap Bubble Flow Measurement
or CO2. A

If actual barometric pressure at the
installation site is not known, use Table
4-2 on page 4-5 to determine normal
barometric pressure at the elevation
involved.
The following example will clarify use of
the equation.
Example: What flowmeter setting is
required for carbon dioxide sample gas
in an instrument at an elevation of 4000
feet?
Solution: From Table 4-1 on page 4-4,
flowmeter setting required for CO
at

sea level is 86.
Therefore,
setting for 4000 feet = 86 x = 100.3
14.7
12.6
This method is suitable for all sample
streams except those containing water
soluble gases or hydrogen (which
diffuses through the soap film). The
method requires use of a 50 cc
laboratory burette, preferably fitted with
a 3-way stop cock.
The detergent or solution will move up
the burette in a series of flat film disks,
ultimately traveling about 1/2 to 1 inch
apart. With a stopwatch, time one of
these "plates" as it passes the initial 50
cc mark and ascends to the 0 cc
graduation. Repeat the procedure until
reproducibility is satisfactory. Back
pressure is insignificant, and corrections
for atmospheric pressure and
temperature usually are not necessary.

g. Temperature Corrections (Portable
Analyzers Only)
Operation of portable analyzers at
temperatures above or below 70°F
results in a readout error. Factors
involved are the gas law influence and
the effect on the flowmeter.
It is desired to correct for temperature
effects, take all meter readings with
sample flowmeter set at the correct
value for operation at 80°F. Then,
algebraically add the following
correction to each meter reading.
Correction = 0.003 x (actual reading) x
(actual temperature, °F - 70)
Example 1: Meter reads 50 ppm at
90°F
Required correction = 0.003 x 50 x
(90-70) = + 3 ppm
Corrected reading = 50 + 3 = 53 ppm
Example 2: Meter reads 100 ppm at
50°F
Required correction = 0.003 x 100 x
(50-70) = 6 ppm

4-2 SYSTEMS UTILIZING THE LOW PRESSURE
SAMPLING ACCESSORY
NOTE
If the instrument does not function properly during startup and calibration procedure, use the tests and adjustments
described in Section Nine, Service.
The Low Pressure Sampling Accessory
permits use of a Model 340 Trace Moisture
Analyzer to monitor gas sources at reduced
pressures ranging from 10 inches of mercury
vacuum to + 10 psig. Typical applications
include measuring moisture concentrations in
blanketing gases and in dry boxes.
The accessory is available in two versions:
630600 Accessory for 115 VAC, 60 Hz
operation; and 630601 Accessory for 115
VAC, 50 Hz operation. They differ only in the
electrical frequency requirement.
Normally, startup and operation of a low
pressure trace moisture analysis system entail
use of two different interconnection
configurations, in turn.
1. Preparatory to initial operation, the
system is temporarily connected as
shown in A of Figure 4-1A below, to
obtain an exact, experimental calibration
of the Sample Flowmeter in the Trace
Moisture Analyzer. In this configuration,
the accessory supplies pressurized
sample to the analyzer inlet.
2. For subsequent normal operation, the
system is connected as shown Figure
4-1B below. In this configuration, the
accessory applies a vacuum to the
analyzer outlet, thus establishing a
pressure differential which causes sample
to enter the analyzer inlet.
To set up the analysis system for operation,

a. Calibration Procedure for Sample
Flowmeter
To permit computation of the correct
flowmeter setting required for low
pressure operation, it is necessary first
to determine the setting required for a
flow of 100 cc/min of the particular gas,
with flowmeter outlet vented to
atmospheric pressure. The latter value
is listed, for various pure gases, in Table
4-1 on page 4-4 . Generally, these data
are accurate to better than ± 10 %. If
greater accuracy is desired, or if the
application involves a sample gas of
unknown characteristics, the Sample
Flowmeter should be calibrated
experimentally, as explained in the
following steps.
1. Connect Trace Moisture Analyzer,
Low Pressure Accessory, and soap
bubble flowmeter (or other accurate
flow measuring device) in calibration
configuration, Figure 4-1A on page
4-8. Analyzer Sample Flowmeter
now discharges to atmospheric
pressure.
2. On Trace Moisture Analyzer, turn
Range Selector Switch to STDBY;
fully close Sample Flow Control
Valve; fully open Bypass Flow
Control Valve (if provided).
NOTE
At all times when gas is flowing
through the analyzer, electrical power
should be on, and Range Selector
Switch should be at either STDBY or
a numbered position. This precaution
protects the electrolytic cell from
possible overloading with excessive I
moisture.
b. Start vacuum pump.
c. Close Variable Restrictor Valve.
4. Adjust controls on Trace Moisture
Analyzer as follows:
a. Adjust Sample Flow Control
Valve so Sample Flowmeter
reads approximately 100.
b. Close Bypass Flow Control
Valve.
c. Readjust Sample Flow Control
Valve so Sample Flowmeter gain
reads approximately 100.
d. Measure actual flow rate with
soap bubble flowmeter, or by gas
or liquid displacement (Section
4-1f on page 4-6). On basis of
the result obtained, readjust
Sample Flow Control Valve to
obtain actual flow of
approximately 100 cc/min. Such
trial and error adjustment can be
continued until an exact flow of
100 cc/min is obtained; however,
this approach can be time
consuming. Therefore, a
suggested alternative method is
to measure the flow at several
different settings on the Sample
Flowmeter. Plot a curve of actual
flow values versus Sample
Flowmeter settings. Interpolation
on this curve will indicate the
Sample Flowmeter setting
required for a sample flow of 100
cc/min.
5. Turn off vacuum pump.
CAUTION
3. Adjust controls on Low Pressure
Accessory as follows:
a. Fully open Variable Restrictor
Valve.

system will remain in this
configuration unless recheck of
flowmeter calibration is desired.
b. Operating Parameter Selection
Proper operation of the low pressure
analysis system is dependent on
selection of a compatible combination of
readings on: (1) the Vacuum Gauge of
the Low Pressure Accessory, and (2)
the Sample Flowmeter of the Trace
Moisture Analyzer. The following
Sections explain selection of these
parameters.

Within the Trace Moisture Analyzer, the
Sample Flowmeter discharges directly
to the sample outlet, (as shown in
Figure 6-1 on page 6-2). Therefore,
during the flow measurement procedure
of Section 5.1, the Sample Flowmeter
discharged to atmospheric pressure as
shown in Figure 4-1A on page 4-8.
During subsequent operation, the
Sample Flowmeter will discharge into a
vacuum, indicated on the gauge of the
Low Pressure Accessory, as shown in
Figure 4-1A on page 4-8. The vacuum is
adjustable via various valves in the
system. Proper vacuum reading
depends on sample supply pressure.
Basic consideration is that the pressure
differential must be sufficient to ensure
adequate sample and bypass flows
through the analyzer. Commonly, a
vacuum of 10 inches Hg is used, at least
for initial trial operation.

OPERATION
After completing system startup, use following operating procedure:
Turn on sample gas.
Verify that sample flowmeter reading is equivalent to
100 cc/min at 14.7 psia (760 mm Hg) and 70°F
(21.1°C). Refer to Section 4-1c on page 4-4. (If Low
Pressure Sampling Accessory is used, check readings on both its vacuum gauge and the sample
flowmeter of the Trace Moisture Analyzer. Refer to
Section 4-2b on page 4-10.)
Turn Range Selector Switch to appropriate position.
Meter (and recorder, if used) will now automatically
and continuously indicate the water vapor content of
the sample stream, in parts-per-million by volume.
To convert readings into weight-per-volume or
weight-per-weight units, multiply by the appropriate
factor from Table 5-1 on page 5-2. To convert readings into ice point temperatures, use the curve of
Figure 5-1 on page 5-3.
5-1 RECOMMENDED CALIBRATION FRE-
QUENCY
At least once a week, note reading on sample
flowmeter. If reading deviates from correct
value, as previously determined, readjust
Sample Flow Control Valve.
Less frequently, calibration of the sample
flowmeter should be rechecked by one of the
methods from Section 4-1f on page 4-6.
Flowmeter characteristics may change
gradually with internal deposition of dirt and
other contaminants. Proper frequency for the
calibration check depends on the particular
sample stream, and is therefore best
determined by experience.
5-2 SHUTDOWN
Normally, electrical power is never removed
from the analyzer. Exceptions are (1) brief
power turn off as required for routine
maintenance; and (2) power turn off during
prolonged shutdown of several weeks or
more.
During periods of inactivity, Range Selector
Switch should be left at STDBY. In standby
mode, current flows through the electrolytic
cell, thus keeping it dry and ready for
immediate use upon resumption of operation.
If analyzer is to be used on a semi-continuous
basis, e.g., during daylight working hours only,
sampling system should incorporate shutoff
valve(s) to prevent entry of moist air during
inactive periods.

THEORY
6-1 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Trace moisture determination is based on the
simultaneous absorption and electrolysis of
water. The sensor is an electrolytic cell. Inside
the molded plastic cell, the sample flows
through a tube formed of two slightly separated
rhodium wire helices. The outer surface of the
tube is a substrate that firmly secures the wires
in place. The inner surface is a thin film of
desiccant, meta phosphoric acid, which
absorbs water vapor from the sample.
A regulated DC voltage is applied between the
helical electrodes, causing a current to flow
through the film and thus electrolyze the
absorbed water. The current is directly
proportional to the water vapor content of the
sample. The instrument is calibrated to provide
direct readout of sample moisture in ppm by
volume (for sample flow of 100 cc/min at 70°F
and 14.7 psia). If desired, readings may be
converted into various weight-per-volume and
weight-per-weight units through use of the
corresponding conversion factors listed in
Table 5-1 on page 5-2.
6-2 FLOW SYSTEM
Internal flow system of the analyzer is shown
in Figure 6-1 on page 6-2. To provide sample
flow through the system, a suitable pressure
differential must be established between
sample inlet and outlet. In most applications,
the inlet is connected to a pressurized sample
source; the outlet discharges to atmospheric
pressure. In applications utilizing the Low
Pressure Sampling Accessory, the inlet is
connected to a comparatively low-pressure
sample source; and a vacuum is applied to the
outlet.
conditions (70°F, 14.7 psia). The sample
flowmeter is calibrated by its manufacturer for
direct readout in cc/min under the following
conditions: 1) sample gas, air; 2) temperature,
70°F, (21.1°C); 3) flowmeter outlet vented to
atmospheric pressure at sea level (14.7 psia).
For ultimate accuracy, however, the user
should recalibrate the sample flowmeter for the
particular sample gas, and for the actual
discharge pressure if significantly less than
14.7 psia. In an analyzer used to monitor
sample from a pressurized source, the
flowmeter outlet is at the local barometric
pressure. This may be considerably less than
14.7 psia if the installation site is at an
appreciable elevation above sea level. Refer to
Section 4-1c on page 4-4. With the Low
Pressure Sampling Accessory, the flowmeter
outlet discharges into a vacuum, necessitating
the special calibration considerations
explained in Section 4-2b on page 4-10.
To stabilize sample flow at the established
level, the system incorporates a flow controller.
The controller has two sides, separated by a
diaphragm. One side connects to the upstream
end, and the other side to the downstream
end, of the Sample Flow Control Valve. Any
pressure imbalance across the diaphragm
causes an internal valve within the controller to
open or close until equilibrium is achieved. At
equilibrium, reached after initial flow through
the system, a constant flow is maintained
through the cell.
The Bypass Flow Control Valve and bypass
flowmeter, if used, permit a portion of the
sample to circumvent (bypass) the cell.
Opening the bypass valve results in a high
velocity flow through the sample lines, thus
minimizing transport time lag.
The Sample Flow Control Valve is adjusted so
that flow through the electrolytic cell is
equivalent to 100 cc/min under standard

6-3 ELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY
The following Sections discuss electronic
circuitry of the Trace Moisture Analyzer. For
overall schematic and pictorial diagrams of the
INSTRUMENTSCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
Panel Mounted and Explosion Proof AnalyzersDWG 194754
AC Operated Portable AnalyzerDWG 194757
DC Operated Portable AnalyzerDWG 194749
a. Electrolytic Call and Switch Assembly
(All Analyzers)
During operation, the electrolytic current
flows through the cell and through one of
five range resistors, depending on the
setting of Range Selector Switch S1. The
resultant signal developed across the
particular range resistor is applied to the
input of a DC operational amplifier circuit
utilizing a high gain DC amplifier on the
amplifier circuit board (Section 6-3b
below). Switch S1 provides the capability
of changing the sensitivity of the current
measuring circuitry, to permit selection of
different operating ranges.
Switch S1 and range resistors R3 through
R7 are contained in the Switch Assembly.
Also mounted on the switch assembly are
resistors R1 and R2, which constitute a
feedback divider for the amplifier circuit.
b. Amplifier Circuit Board (All Analyzers)
The amplifier circuit board, DWG 624265,
contains the following circuits and
components:
1. High Gain DC Amplifier. Utilized in the
amplifier circuit described in Section 63a above.
2. Potentiometric Output Selector. The
Potentiometric Output Selector consists
of a multi-pin receptacle and two
associated shorting plugs. The
particular instrument version, refer to the
appropriate figures listed in the following table.
Details of individual circuits are shown in
separate schematic and pictorial diagrams, as
referenced in the overall diagrams.
3. combination constitutes a switch,
labeled S1 on the circuit board. Plug
functions are the following:
a. Plug for CUR BD, YES/NO
Selector. If potentiometric output is
desired, the plug is inserted
between the pair of pins labeled
NO. This connection routes the
amplifier output signal through a
voltage divider to circuit ground.
If current output is desired, the plug
is inserted between the pair of pins
labeled YES. This connection
routes the amplifier output signal to
the current output board, described
in Section 6-3c on page 6-4.
b. Plug for Numbered Pairs of Pins.
To match instrument output of the
desired potentiometric recorder, a
shorting plug must be inserted
between the corresponding pair of
numerically labeled pins, thus
selecting the appropriate tap on the
voltage divider mentioned in item
"a", proceeding. Choices are 10
mV, 100 mV, 1 V and 5 V. Circuit
parameters are such that, with the
plug in the position appropriate to
the particular recorder, a signal
voltage level of + 5 V at the
amplifier output results in a
fullscale recorder deflection.

Model 340
c. Current Output Board (Optional for AC
Analyzers Only)
The current output circuit board, DWG
624263, contains the following circuits and
components.
1. Emitter follower stage. Darlington
connected transistors Q23 and Q24 are
used to convert the signal from the
amplifier board into an output suitable
for driving a current recorder.
To protect Q23 and Q24 from
accidental overload, a current limiting
circuit is provided. An increase in
output current causes a corresponding
increase in voltage across resistor R1
33, and therefore in the emitter to base
voltage for transistor Q27. If output
current momentarily becomes
excessive, conduction through Q27
increases sufficiently to render Q23 and
Q24 non-conducting, thereby
decreasing output current.
2. Diode rectifiers CR10, CR11, andfilter capacitor C30. These elements,
together with one center-tapped
secondary of transformer T2 of the ±15
Volt Power Supply (Section 6-3d on
page 6-5), constitute a floating power
supply for the emitter follower stage.
3. Offset current generator, providing
the capability of an output
compatible with a live zero, current
type recorder. Distinguishing
characteristics of the live zero systems
is that when input to the amplifier is
zero, the signal applied to the recorder
is not zero. Instead, it is equal to 20%
of the recorder input current required
for a fullscale deflection. Thus, zero
signal current is 1 mA for a 1 to 5 mA
recorder, 4 mA for a 4 to 20 mA
recorder, and 10 mA for a 10 to 50 mA
recorder.
The offset current generator provides a
choice of three constant currents. An
exact -10 volts is applied to the base of
Q20A by a network consisting of
reference diode CR12 and associated
resistors (R83, R84, R85, and R86),
connected between ground and the -15
volt supply. The collector voltage of
Q20B drives the base of Q21; the
emitter of Q21 drives the base of Q22
to maintain the required voltage at the
base of Q20B. Section S913 of
Recorder Milliampere Selector S9
selects the appropriate constant current
by connecting the corresponding
resistor: R86 for 1 mA, or R88 for 10
mA. (The output selection function of
S9 is performed by Section 6-3c, item
5. below.)
4. Live Zero/Dead Zero Selector. This
combination of a multi-pin receptacle
and an associated reversible plug
constitutes a switch, labeled S10 on the
current output circuit. Alternative
choices are the following:
a. A DEAD ZERO switch position
(used only with a 0 to 5 mA
recorder) connects the recorder
between the emitter follower output
and the load resistance.
b. A LIVE ZERO switch position (used
with 1 to 5, 4 to 20 and 10 or 50
mA recorders) connects the
recorder between ground and the
negative terminal of the emitter
follower power supply.
5. Recorder Milliamp Selector. This
combination of a multi-pin receptacle
and an associated 4-position plug
constitutes a switch, labeled S9 on the
circuit board. The plug provides a
choice of four outputs, to permit use of
a current recorder with a fullscale span
of 0 to 5, 1 to 5, 4 to 20 or 10 to 50 mA.
Circuit parameters are such that, with
the plug in the position appropriate to
the particular recorder, a signal voltage
level of +5 volts at test point TP11 of
the current output board results in a
fullscale recorder deflection.

d. ±15 Volt Power Supply (AC Analyzers
Only)
The ±15 Volt Power Supply provides
power for the electronic circuitry of AC
operated analyzers. (Power for the
portable DC analyzer is normally provided
by a ±15 volt battery pack.)
As shown in DWG 619710, power
transformer T1 has three secondaries,
used as follows:
1. A 38 VAC center tapped secondary
powers both 15 volt supplies through
diode bridge CR1 and filter capacitors
C1 and C4.
The adjustable positive regulator, VR1,
is set by voltage divider R1, R2 and R3,
and its output is applied to pin A of the
PCB and to test point TP1. R2 is
adjustable and should be set to 15
±0.75 VDC.
The negative DC, regulated by VR2, is
applied to pin D of the PCB.
The center tap is the Common
reference for both + 15 and - 15 volt
supplies and is applied to pin B of the
PCB and to test point TP2.
Both outputs are used by amplifier
board. In addition the -15 volt output is
used by the offset current generator in
the optional Current Output Board
(Section 6-3c on page 6-4).
2. The 90 volt secondary drives a rectifier
circuit consisting of diodes CR10 and
CR11, and filter capacitor C30. These
components are on the optional Current
Output Board. This transformer winding
and its associated circuit components
constitute a floating power supply for
the emitter follower stage. Refer to
Section 6-3c on page 6-4.
3. The 9.5 VAC secondary drives a + 5
volt supply not used in this instrument.
e. Alarm Setpoint Accessory and
Universal Alarm Board (Optional, for
Panel Mount Analyzers Only)
The Alarm Setpoint Accessory, DWG
194760, and the Universal Alarm Board
are used in combination to provide the
basis for various alarm and/or control
systems. Such systems are completed by
the addition of appropriate, external,
customer supplied components, depending
on the requirements of the application and
the preferences of the user.
For versatility in use with diverse
instruments, the Alarm Setpoint Accessory
incorporates two independent, adjustable,
setpoint circuits, designated "A" and "B". If
both circuits are used, each drives a
separate Universal Alarm Board. However,
the Trace Moisture Analyzer uses only
circuit "A" and a single Universal Alarm
Board to provide the high level alarm
function.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
7-1 MAINTENANCE
Most maintenance of the Trace Moisture
Analyzer involves the electrolytic cell. This
section describes recommended maintenance
procedures. For location of cell and associated
holder in the particular instrument
configuration, refer to Figure 2-1 on page 2-2,
or Figure 2-2 on page 2-3.
a. Care of the Electrolytic Cell
To minimize absorption of moisture, the
cell should be kept sealed. Never leave it
open to air longer than absolutely
necessary. Adherence to this practice will
increase cell life, and will cause response
time to be dependent primarily n the
dryness of the gas handling system
external to the instrument.
b. Replacing Electrolytic Cell

7-2 SERVICE
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Servicing this instrument requires access
to shock hazard level voltages which can
cause death or serious injury. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
Alarm switching relay contacts wired to a
separate power source must be disconnected before servicing.
The most common symptoms of a malfunctioning analyzer are subnormal or zero meter
reading, Section 7-2a below; off-scale meter
reading, Section 7-2b below; and erratic meter
reading, Section 7-2c below.
a. Subnormal or Zero Meter Reading
The most probable causes of subnormal or
zero meter reading are the following:
1. Lack of power supply output voltage. To
check, measure voltage. Zero voltage
may be due to the following:
a. Instrument is not plugged in, or is
not turned on.
b. Fuse is burned out.
2. Cell element has become coated with
inert material, has been "poisoned" by
sample gases, or has lost its desiccant
film. Refer to Section 7-1c on page 7-1
for instructions in cell cleaning and resensitizing.
b. Off-Scale Meter Reading
Possible causes of an off-scale meter
reading are the following:
1. Electrolytic cell is partially shortcircuited. Remove cell. With an
ohmmeter, measure resistance
between cell terminals. Resistance
should be 5,000 to 20,000 ohms or
more; if less than this, clean and resensitize cell (per Section 7-1c on page
7-1) or replace it.
2. Moisture content of sample stream or
sample handling system exceeds 1000
ppm. Run dry nitrogen, cylinder gas, or
other suitable dry gas through sampling
system and analyzer to determine if
instrument dries down properly. Meter
should read on-scale within 20 to 30
minutes.
c. Erratic Meter Reading
Erratic readings may be caused by any of
the following factors,
1. Flow control is poor. Test as follows:
a. Perform leak check as explained in
Section 4-1b on page 4-3.
b. At instrument inlet, connect a
suitable dry gas with a pressure
regulator. Pressure should be
variable from 10 to 100 psig.
c. Bring pressure to 10 psig. Vary the
Sample Flow Control Valve setting.
Flow rate should be adjustable
above and below 100 cc/minute.
d. Bring pressure to 100 psig. Vary
Sample Flow Control Valve setting.
Flow rate should be adjustable
above and below 10 cc/minute.
e. Again bring pressure to 10 psig. Set
flow rate to 100 cc/minute. Vary inlet
pressure from 10 to 100 psig. Flow
rate should not vary more than ±10
cc/minute.
f. If flow control is unsatisfactory, clean
flow controller.
2. Electrolytic cell is partially plugged.
Remove and inspect cell; if plugged,
clean it as directed in Section 7-1c on
page 7-1.
3. Cell is partially short-circuited. Remove
cell. With an ohmmeter, measure
resistance between cell terminals.
Resistance should be 5,000 to 20,000
ohms or more; if less than this, clean
and re-sensitize cell or replace it.

8-2 CIRCUIT BOARD REPLACEMENT POLICY
In most situations of circuit board malfunction,
it is more practical to replace the board than
to attempt isolation and replacement of the
individual component. The cost of test and
replacement will exceed the cost of a rebuilt
assembly from the factory. As standard policy,
rebuilt boards are available on an exchange
basis. The price, with return of a repairable
board, is less expensive than that of a new
assembly. Each rebuilt assembly carries a
one-year warranty.
Because of the exchange policy covering
circuit boards, the following list does not
include individual electronic components. If
circumstances necessitate replacement of an
individual component which can be identified
by inspection or from the schematic diagrams,
obtain the replacement component from a
local source of supply.
8-3 SELECTED REPLACEMENT PARTS
Flow Regulator Diaphragm
Order the replacement flow regulator
diaphragm directly from Brooks. The part
number for the Viton diaphragm (used in
brass regulators) is Brooks part number
8206h18084. For the Teflon diaphragm (used
in the stainless steel regulators), request the
equivalent part number.
Heater - 45 Watt
The built-in thermoswitch (set for 140°F ±5°)
mounted on the bottom of the regulator (PN
193123) is attached with RTV silastic rubber.
Needle Valves – Sample Flow
The part number for brass is 876807, for
stainless steel is 876806.
O-Rings – Analyzer Cell
The part number is 834499.
Batteries – DC Operation
The mercury battery part number is 652347
(package of two). The 7.5 VDC batteries used
in older analyzers are no longer available. A
conversion to mercury batteries kit (PN
652329) is available.
Cell - Analyzer
The part number for the cell is 193190.
