2.6 CALIBRATION GAS CONNECTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
Refer to Figure 2-1 and Installation Drawing 652258.
Zero and span gases are to be connected to the same inlet fitting as the sample gas.
All applications require a zero standard gas to set the baseline point on the digital
display or output signal. Refer to the Calibration and Data Sheet. Use the background
gas as the zero gas. If a background gas is not specified, use dry nitrogen for the zero
gas.
Span gas concentration is normally between 80% and 100% of the fullscale range the
analyzer will be set on. The background gas is also indicated on the Calibration and
Data Sheet. If no background gas is specified, use dry nitrogen.
The Model 815 does not contain any filters in the sample flow system to prevent
contamination of the sample lines or cells.
The sample must be clean and kept above the dew point to minimize maintenance and
to prolong the life of the components in the sample flow system. Sample Handling
components and tubing must be constructed of materials compatible with the sample.
Contact the local representative or the factory if an additional sample handling system
is required.

Any leakage must be corrected before introduction of sample and/or application of
electrical power.
WARNING: POSSIBLE EXPLOSION HAZARD
This analyzer is of a type capable of analysis of sample gases which may be
flammable. If used for analysis of such gases the instrument explosion-proof
enclosure must be suitable for the gas.
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 the system is in leak-proof condition.
Leak-check instructions are provided in this section.
Internal leaks resulting from failure to observe these precautions could result in
an explosion causing death, personal injury or property damage.
The following test is designed for sample pressure up to 10 psig (69 kPa).
1. Connect air (or other inert gas such as nitrogen) at 10 psig (69 kPa) to analyzer via
a flow indicator and set flow rate to fullscale at the sample inlet (unless otherwise
specified by the Calibration and Data Sheet.
2. Seal off sample outlet with a cap while air or inert gas is flowing into the sample
inlet. If the flowmeter reading drops to zero, the system is leak free. If the
flowmeter does not drop to zero, a leak in the system is present and must be
located and sealed before operating the Model 815.
Note:
Whether or not a leak is suspected, the sample flow system should be leak
checked under pressure before the analyzer is placed in operation.
3. Refer to the note below, then liberally cover the outlet plug and all gas connections
with a suitable test liquid such as SNOOP (PN 837810) to detect leaks. Apply to all
fittings, seals, and other possible leak sources. Bubbling or foaming indicates
leakage, but the absence of bubbles does not necessarily indicate that no leaks
exist.
4. If a flow is indicated, a leak is present and may be in an area that is inaccessible to
SNOOP. Continue leak testing and tighten all connections until the flow rate drops
to zero.

NITIAL STARTUP AND CALIBRATION
Clean, dry nitrogen is recommended for use as the zero gas, unless otherwise
specified on the data sheet. Span gas is typically 80-100% of the fullscale
concentration of the range being used. Background composition of the span gas is
typically as similar to the composition of the sample being monitored as practical.
3.4.1 C
ALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Refer to Figures 2-1 and 3-1.
1. Connect zero or span gases to the sample
connection port on the bottom of
inlet
the enclosure.
2. Set the calibration gas flow rate to the same flow rate as the sample being
analyzed, typically 1-2 SCFH (500-1000 /min.), and at the same pressure as the
sample gas. Note that the analyzer is not flow rate dependent; however,
calibration and sampling conditions should always be as similar as possible.
3. Monitor the signal at the recorder output or the analyzer digital display.
4. Introduce zero gas through the sample inlet, and set the ZERO adjustment for a
reading of zero output.
5. Set the MODE switch to RANGE 2 (high range). Introduce a span gas of 80-100%
fullscale. Set the SPAN adjustment for the corresponding voltage.
For example, if fullscale is 10% and the span gas is 8.5%, adjust the span screw
for 85% of fullscale, if linearizer is installed. If linearizer is not used, refer to the
Calibration and Data Sheet.
6. Set the MODE switch to RANGE 1 (Low Range), introduce a low range span gas,
and check the output for the correct value. If the lower range span gas value
agrees with the calculated value, the analyzer has been calibrated correctly.
If the output value does not agree, verify the concentration of the span gas.
3.4.2 L
Linearizers ordered with the instrument are calibrated at the factory for the particular
operating range specified by the order and should need no further adjustment.
To verify proper operation, connect different concentrations of span gas to the sample
inlet and record the output signal or digital display (on analyzer door) reading. Plot th e se
values versus concentration (typical curve shown in Figure 3-4). If the curve is linear,
the linearizer for that range is properly calibrated.
If the calibration curve is not linear, perform one of the following calibration
procedures.
The first method requires use of a DVM; the second uses recorder output.
A typical calibration curve showing the relationship between the non-linearized and
linearized output is shown in Figure 3-4. The curve is a plot of signal output versus
concentration. Examples of curves normalized for concentration and for recorder
output are shown in Figure 3-4.

INEARIZER BOARD ADJUSTMENTS
To construct a new calibration curve, use the following procedure:
1. Determine the fullscale range to be calibrated. On the Linearizer Board (Figure 3-
3) set SW1 to OFF.
2. Obtain calibration gases (or use a dilution system) of concentrations from 0-100%
fullscale in 10% increments.
3. Introduce the zero gas and note the recorder output voltage (or digital display
reading).
4. Repeat step 3 using the other calibration gases.
5. Normalize the readings, so that 100% fullscale is 1 and 0% is 0. Plot the
concentration versus linearizer output on a graph similar to Figure 3-4.
6. Draw a straight line from the 0% data point to the 100% point. This will be the
linear output after the linearizer is properly adjusted.
7. Segment the line into eight equal points for an 8-point linearization. Draw the
vertical lines from each of the data points to the straight line. From where the
vertical lines intersect the straight line, draw horizontal line to the right axis. The
value on the right axis will be the value to which each data point will be adjusted.

8. Enter the values in Table 3-2, using Table 3-1 as a guide. These values will be
used to perform Section 3.5.3 Line ari zation Procedure.

As a check of instrument performance, a log book should be kept with the analyzer for
recording notes on operation, calibration, performance and maintenance.
4.2 RECOMMENDED CALIBRATION FREQUENCY
The calibration interval should be determined by the user based on the accuracy
required. Initially, the instrument should be calibrated every 24 hours until experience
indicates that some other interval is more appropriate.
If barometric pressure changes significantly, recheck the calibration against an
upscale standard gas. A change in cell pressure of 1 inch of mercury (3 kPa) will
result in a readout error of approximately 3% of reading.
4.3 SHUTDOWN
Instrument power is normally left on at all times except during a prolonged shutdown
or maintenance.
1. To shutdown the instrument:
2. Disconnect electrical power.
3. If hazardous samples have been flowing through the analyzer, adequate venting of
the gases and adequate ventilation must be provided for before disconnecting
sample lines from the analyzer.
4. Inspect the sample lines and “wetted” parts of the analyzer, clean if necessary.
5. Flush sample lines and analyzer cell with dry nitrogen or dry air, verify that they are
dry.
6. Plug sample lines.
Following prolonged shutdown, repeat Section 2.8 Leak Test, Section 3.1 Initial
Startup and Calibration to restore analyzer to service.

OUTINE OPERATION AND THEORY
4.4 DETECTION SYSTEM THEORY
As shown in Figure 4-1, infrared radiation is produced from two separate energy
sources. This radiation is interrupted by a chopper at 5 Hz. Depending on the
application, the radiation may then be optically filtered to reduce background
interference from other infrared-absorbing components. The two equal beams are
then directed through two parallel optical cell, a flow-through sample cell and a sealed
reference cell.
During analysis, a portion of the infrared radiation is absorbed by the component of
interest in the sample, with the quantity of infrared radiation absorbed being
proportional to the component concentration.
The detector is a “gas microphone” based on the Luft principle. It continuously
monitors the infrared energy passing through the sample and reference cells. During
the portion of the chopping cycle when the chopper is not blocking the sample and
reference beams, the diaphragm distends away from the metal button, thus
decreasing detector capacitance. This capacitance is directly proportional to the
difference between the reference and sample cells signals, and is used to modulate
the amplitude of a radio frequency voltage, which is demodulated into a resulting DC
voltage signal. The output signal is proportional to the component concentration; it is
amplified and sent to the digital display and to the recorder connections.
The analyzer can incorporate cells of short or long optical path lengths, depending on
the particular component of interest and its concentration range. If cell length is 4 to
32mm, the pair of sample and reference cells consists of a single stainless steel cell
block with two parallel holes bored through (see Figure 7.2). If cell length is over
32mm, sample and reference cells are separate cylindrical Pyrex tubes, with gold
plated inner diameter (see Figure 7.1).
The block diagram in Figure 4-2 traces the signal through the electronic circuitry and
depicts the various waveforms involved.
4.5.1 O
SCILLATOR CIRCUIT BOARD (SCHEMATIC
LEMENTS OF AMPLITUDE MODULATION CIRCUIT
E
623995)
AND ASSOCIATED
A 10 MHz carrier wave is generated by a crystal-controlled radio frequency oscillator
using crystal Y1 and transistors Q1 and Q2.
The modulation circuit is driven by the detector, the sensing element of the analyzer.
Considered electronically, the detector is a two-plate variable capacitor. The tuned
tank circuit is coupled inductively, through one winding of inductance in L1, to the
oscillator. Amplitude of the 10 MHz carrier thus varies with the 5 Hz modulation signal,
which corresponds to the capacitance change of the detector. See Section 4.3
Detection System Theory.
4.5.2 F
UNCTIONING OF MODULATION SYSTEM IN
TUNE M
ODE
In this mode the display indicates the rms value of the halfwave-rectified carrier. The
tank circuit is now adjusted in the following two-step sequence:
Tuning:
Initially, the OSC TUNE adjustment is set somewhat counterclockwise from
its correct setting. Then, it is rotated clockwise to move the slug into the core, thus
increasing inductance and decreasing resonant frequency. The adjustment is set for
maximum obtainable reading. At this setting, tank-circuit resonant frequency is the
same as oscillator frequency (i.e., nominal 10 MHz). See Resonance Curve Number 1 ,
Figure 5-1B.
Detuning:
By counterclockwise rotation of the OSC TUNE adjustment, the slug is
partially withdrawn from the core, thus decreasing inductance and increasing resonant
frequency. The adjustment is set so reading decreases to between 75 % and 80 % of
the maximum obtainable value noted in Tuning, above. See Resonance Curve
Number 2, Figure 5-1B. This curve has the same shape as that obtained in Tuning, but
is displaced to the right.
4.5.3 F
UNCTIONING OF MODULATION SYSTEM IN OPERATING MODE
Overall sensitivity of the analyzer system may now be checked by placing SPAN gas
in the sample beam to simulate absorption of sample-beam energy and thus provide
the maximum obtainable 5 Hz detector-output signal.
During that portion of the chopping cycle, while the chopper is not blocking the sample
and reference beams, the diaphragm distends away from the metal button, thus

OUTINE OPERATION AND THEORY
decreasing detector capacitance and shifting the tank-circuit resonance curve to the
right. At the moment the diaphragm reaches maximum distention, the curve reaches
the position of Curve 3, Figure 5-1B.
The diaphragm now pulses cyclically, causing the resonance curve to move
continuously back and forth within the limits defined by Curves 2 and 3 of Figure 5-1B.
Carrier amplitude decreases as the curve moves to the right and increases as it moves
to the left. Thus, the response characteristics of the system depend on the location of
Curve 2. Position of this curve depends on the degree of tank-circuit detuning used.
By detuning to 75% to 80% of the maximum obtainable carrier amplitude and
operating on the portion of the curve thus obtained, maximum slope yields highest
sensitivity and minimum curvature provides best linearity.
4.5.4 R
ADIO-FREQUENCY DEMODULATOR
The amplitude-modulated 10 MHz carrier from the detector/oscillator circuit is applied
to the radio-frequency demodulator. This circuit is a voltage-doubler type rectifier
utilizing diodes CR1, CR2, CR3, CR4 and capacitor C7. The circuit gives
approximately double the output voltage of a conventional halfwave rectifier. This
result is obtained by charging a capacitor during the normally wasted half-cycle, and
then discharging it in series with the output voltage during the next half-cycle.
4.5.5 S
IGNAL BOARD (SCHEMATIC
652431)
The 5 Hz sinewave detector signal goes through an AC amplifier U1A and associated
resistor. The output signal goes through bandpass filter network U2 and U4 to remove
harmonics and distortion.
The signal next goes through a precision signal rectifier U3 and Q1 and then through
low pass filter U5. This output goes to a time constant network and then to inverting
buffer amplifier U8 with zero control R28.
The signal goes to either range amplifier high concentration SW2, U10A and R39 or
range amplifier low concentration SW2, U10A and R37. For the low concentration
range, the gain of U10A is adjustable with R37.
4-4
The recorder/digital display output consists of a non-inverting buffer amplifier U12A/B.
The signal board is designed to accept two operational linearizer boards. J4 is the
connector for the linearizer range low concentration and J5 is the connector for the
linearizer range high concentration. If a linearizer board is installed, the appropriate
jumper (E1 for low concentration, E2 for high concentration) must be removed.
The Power Supply Board supplies the different voltages to the various boards.
Additionally, the Power Supply Board includes an adjustable source driver circuit, a
chopper motor driver circuit and proportional temperature controller circuit.
4.5.7 C
ASE HEATER TEMPERATURE CONTROL BOARD (SCHEMATIC
624003)
This is a proportional temperature controller, which works on a variable time method.
Resistors R7, R8, R9, R10, R11 and the sensor form a bridge which feeds a
comparator, AR1. AR1 operates in an ON/OFF mode to drive transistor Q3. The
sensor is a resistor with a positive temperature coefficient (1.925 ohms/°C).
The resistance is 500 ohms at 0°C. Resistors R1 through R6, Q1, Q2 and C1 provide
the circuit for the time proportioning action; C1 charges until the voltage on C1 reaches
9.0 V. Q1 then discharges C1, and the charging process repeats itself. The emitter of
Q2 follows the voltage on C1, which is essentially a sawtooth. This is injected into the
bridge, which causes the setpoint to bump on a variable time basis. Q3 (through LED
CR1) triggers optical coupler U1 which gates TRIAC (U2). U2 allo ws fullwave VAC to
flow through the case heater element.
4.5.8 C
URRENT OUTPUT BOARD (SCHEMATIC
652439)
The Current Output Board converts the standard DC voltage output to 0-20mA or 420mA for use with external recorders or data gathering systems.
The output voltage signal is connected to J2-6 and is converted to a current signal
using rectified 24 VDC input power from pins 1 and 2. The isolated current signal is
output at pins 8 (+) a nd 7 (-) of J1 and also on connections 2 (+) and 1 (-) of te rminal
block TB1.
4.5.9 L
INEARIZER BOARD (SCHEMATIC
624674)
The Linearizer Board converts a non-linear
signal input into a linearized signal which is output to the display or recorder. Switch
SW2 selects the input for the buffer amplifier AR5B. In calibration mode (SW2 on C),
the input signal can be simulated with R24.
A linear or non-linear output may be selected by switching SW1 ON (linear) or OFF
(non-linear).
748175-F Rosemount Analytical October 1997
Model 815 Explosion Proof Non-Dispersive Infrared Analyzer
If explosive gas samples are introduced into the analyzer, it is recommended
that sample containment system fittings and components be thoroughly leak
checked prior to initial application of electrical power, routinely on a periodic
basis thereafter, and after any maintenance which entails breaking the integrity
of the sample containment system. Leakage of flammable samples could result
in an explosion. Refer to leak check procedure, Section 2.8.
WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Troubleshooting in the field requires access to live parts which can cause death
or serious injury. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
A logical isolation procedure should be followed in troubleshooting the Model 815
NDIR Analyzer. Refer to the appropriate illustrations, parts lists and schematic
diagrams in this manual to isolate the problem to the sample flow system (tubing,
connections, cell assembly), the optical bench electronics (detector, source, oscillator
circuit) or the supporting electronics (power supply, Signal Board, electrical
connections).
Troubleshooting is normally limited to cleaning of the optical cell assembly, adjusting
electronics, checking connections or problem isolation at the assembly or circuit board
level. Troubleshooting to the circuit board component level in the field is not covered
in this manual.
Contact the local service facility (see Field Service and Repair Facilities in rear of
manual) if troubleshooting assistance is required.

5.2 TEST EQUIPMENT
Standard test equipment can be used for the routine adjustments that are made in the
field. Standard test equipment should include a digital voltmeter, an insulated
potentiometer adjustment tool, and a suitable leak test liquid, such as SNOOP (PN
837810).
5.3 VOLTAGE CHECKS
Refer to Section 3 and verify that voltages are correct. If a voltage other than that
indicated is obtained, use a logical isolation technique to isolate the defective circuit.
5.4 OSCILLATOR TUNE ADJUSTMENT
This procedure should not be performed on a routine basis.
1. Connect a DVM between TP6 and TP7 (ground) on the Signal Board (Figure 3-2).
2. Ref er to Figure 6-1. Adjust coil knob (Oscillator Tune, located on top of detector
housing) fully counterclockwise.
3. Adjust the Oscillator Tune knob clockwise, increasing the inductance and
decreasing the resonant frequency, until a maximum value is obtained. Note, at
this setting, tank-circuit resonant frequency is the same as oscillator frequency,
nominal 10 MHz. See Resonance Curve Number 1, Figure 5-1B.
4. Adjust the Oscillator Tune knob counterclockwise (de-tune the circuit) until the unit
reads between 75% and 80% of the maximum value. See Resonance Curve
Number 2, Figure 5-1B. This curve has the same shape as Curve Number 1, but
is displaced to the right.
5.5 PREAMP GAIN
Note:
The preamp gain adjustment and source balance shutter adjustment (Section
5.6) are interactive. After adjusting one, the other should be re-checked before
proceeding.
The preamp gain potentiometer, R3 on the Signal Board, is used to set the fullscale
detector output signal at TP2 (on the Signal Board) to a maximum of 7.5 volts.

5.6 SOURCE BALANCE SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
Note:
These adjustments are part of the factory checkout and are not normally
required for routine operation, but must be performed whenever the optical
system is disturbed (i.e., removal of cells for cleaning, source replacement).
Refer to Figures 3-1, 3-2, and 6-2.
1. Set the MODE switch to DETECTOR, note value of digital display, or connect a
DVM between TP2 and TP7 on the Signal Board.
2. Introduce zero gas into the sample inlet.
3. Slightly loosen the threaded hex standoff on the sample cell shutter adjust screw.
The shutter adjust screw is located on top of the motor/source assembly.

4. Using a screwdriver, rotate the shutter adjust screw until a reading as close to zero
as possible on the DVM is obtained. A typical reading is 0-.5 VDC.
5. Add 0.5 VDC to the minimum value from step 4. Rotate the shutter adjust screw
clockwise (viewed from the screw head) until the display reads this value. (If this
value exceeds 1.2 volts, a source alignment must performed. Section 5.7).
6. Re-tighten the threaded hex standoff. Verify that the voltage at the test point does
not change.

CAUTION: BURN HAZARD
The source housing is very hot. Ensure adequate measures are taken to avoid
touching this component during this procedure.
Refer to Figures 3-2, 6-2.
1. Connect a digital voltmeter between TP2 and TP7 (ground) on the Signal Board.
2. Set the source adjustment screw so that 1/2” of screw threads are visible (about
halfway screwed in).
3. Loosen the two screws holding each source in place.
4. Adjust both measurement and reference sources up or down to reach the
minimum detector signal.
5. Re-tighten source housing screws.
6. Do the Source Balance procedure in Section 5.6.
5.8 SOURCE CURRENT ADJUSTMENT
The source current for this application is indicated on the Calibration and Data Sheet.
On the Power Supply Board (Figure 2-2):
1. Connect a DVM (set for AC measurement) between TP1 and TP2. It is preferable
to use a “True RMS” meter since this measurement is at 960 Hz and the waveform
is not sinusoidal.
2. Adjust R9 until the value on the DVM is within 20 mV of the desired value. This
value is calculated using the following equation:
Source Voltage Value = 3X Source Current Value
5.9 TIME CONSTANT
Time constant switch SW2 on the Signal Board (Figure 3-2), determines the speed of

Model 815 Explosion Proof Non-Dispersive Infrared Analyzer
If explosive gas samples are introduced into the analyzer, it is recommended
that sample containment system fittings and components be thoroughly leak
checked prior to initial application of electrical power, routinely on a periodic
basis thereafter, and after any maintenance which entails breaking the integrity
of the sample containment system. Leakage of flammable samples could result
in an explosion. Refer to leak check procedure, Section 2.8.
WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Troubleshooting in the field requires access to live parts which can cause death
or serious injury. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
Note:
Before servicing analyzer, disconnect power and shut off sample flow to unit.
Periodic maintenance consists principally of changing the desiccant in the reference
cell and cleaning the sample cell. An instrument maintenance log should be kept with
the instrument, and all service, calibration and adjustments should be noted.
As an aid to periodic maintenance and possible future troubleshooting, the digital
display reading with the MODE switch set at TUNE should be measured and recorded
in the maintenance log after initial start-up, and at regular intervals thereafter. Also, a
record of the detector signal with zero and span gas will indicate any instrument drift,
which is an indication of the need for cleaning the sample flow system.

6.2 CELL DESICCANT
Traces of water vapor and/or carbon dioxide will eventually diffuse into the reference
cell, and can change the transmittance characteristics of the cell, causing instrument
drift. Therefore, all reference cells with a path length greater than 4mm contain a
desiccant on the inlets and outlets to prevent moisture from entering.
Whenever t he seal is opened and exposed to the atmos phere, replace the desiccant
with the type specified in the Calibration and Data Sheet and Table 6-1.
Refer to Figure 6-2. Sources are marked with the resistance value, for example, 11.5 -
11.6 in matched pairs. Install the higher value as the reference source.
Note:
Observe how the parts are disassembled so that the reverse procedure can be
used for reassembly.
1. Remove the two screws holding the source housing to the chopper housing.
2. Remove the two screws holding the source to the source housing. Note how the
source is mounted. There is a front and back side.
When replacing the source, insure that its orientation is exactly the same as the old
one. Each source is marked on the back. Install the source with the higher
designation at the reference site.
3. Reverse the procedure outlined above to reinstall the new source assembly,
ensuring teflon spacers are in place and the screws have not been overtightened.
Sources are ceramic and can crack or break under excessive pressure.
After replacing the source, adjust per Section 5.6 Source Balance Shutter Adjustment

not resolve the problem, contact your local Rosemount Analytical service office. A list
of Rosemount Analytical Service Centers is located in the back of this manual.
WARNING: PARTS INTEGRITY
Tampering or unauthorized substitution of components may adversely affect
safety of this product. Use only factory-documented components for repair .
WARNING: COMPONENTS IN CONTACT WITH SAMPLE
Components in contact with the sample are selected based on each individual
application to prevent any reaction between the sample and the maters of
construction. If the materials of construction react with the sample stream, the
sample can leak into the enclosure resulting in damage to the analyzer and
erroneous measurements. Refer to Calibration and Data Sheet when replacing
these “wetted” parts, or contact the factory for additional information.
7.1 CIRCUIT BOARD REPLACEMENT POLICY
In most situations involving a malfunction of a circuit board, 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. As standard policy, rebuilt boards are available on an exchange basis.
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.

1. Never drop cylinders or permit them to strike each other violently.
2. Cylinders may be stored in the open, but in such cases, should be protected against
extremes of weather and, to prevent rusting, from the dampness of the ground. Cylinders
should be stored in the shade when located in areas where extreme temperatures are
prevalent.
3. The valve protection cap should be left on each cylinder until it has been secured
against a wall or bench, or placed in a cylinder stand, and is ready to be used.
4. Avoid dragging, rolling, or sliding cylinders, even for a short distance; they should be
moved by using a suitable hand-truck.
5. Never tamper with safety devices in valves or cylinders.
6. Do not store full and empty cylinders together. Serious suckback can occur when an
empty cylinder is attached to a pressurized system.
7. No part of cylinder should be subjected to a temperature higher than 125°F (52°C). A
flame should never be permitted to come in contact with any part of a compressed gas
cylinder.
8. Do not place cylinders where they may become part of an electric circuit. When electric
arc welding, precautions must be taken to prevent striking an arc against the cylinder.
