SAFETY SUMMARY

SUPPLY VOLTAGE

3. Supply Voltage

◆ Verify correct polarity for 24 V DC operation !

◆ This product is a Safety Class 1 instrument (provided with a protective earth terminal).

To prevent shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cabinet must be connected to an
electrical ground. The instrument must be connected to the AC power supply mains through
a three-conductor power cable , with the third wire firmly connected to an electrical ground
(safety ground) at the po wer outlet. If the instrument is to be energized via an external power
supply, that goes for the po wer supply, too.
Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor or disconnection of the protectiv e
earth terminal will cause a potential shock hazard that could result in personal injury.
Deliberate disconnection is inadmissible / prohibited !

◆ Use only power supply VSE 2000, UPS 01 T or equiv alent po wer supplies to be in
agreement with the CE conformity.

◆ In case of exchanging fuses the customer has to be certain that fuses of specified type and
rated current are used. It is prohibited to use repaired fuses or def ective fuse holders or to
short-circuit fuse carriers (fire hazard).

◆ Always disconnect power, discharge circuits and remove external voltage sources before
troubleshooting, repair or replacement of any component !

Any work inside the instrument without switching off the power must be
performed only by a specialist, who is familiar with the related danger !

SAFETY SUMMARY

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Rosemount Analytical

5. Electrostatic Discharge

The electronic parts of the analyzer can be irreparably damaged if exposed to electrostatic
discharge (ESD).

The instrument is ESD protected when the covers have been secured and safety precautions
observed. When the housing is open, the internal components are not ESD protected any more.

Although the electronic parts are reasonably safe to handle, you should be aw are of the following
considerations:

The best example for ESD is when y ou walk across a carpet then touch an electrically grounded
metal doorknob: the tiny spark which jumps is a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD). You can
prevent ESD b y removing the charge from your body before removing the analyzer´s housing and
ensuring that no ESD can be built up while working with opened housing.

Ideally , the analyz er should be opened and serviced in an ESD protecting workstation: here y ou
can wear a wrist trap. Should there be no such workstation available, be sure to carry out the
following procedure:

Discharge the electric charge from your body. Do this by touching a device that is electrically
grounded (any device that has a three - prong plug is electrically grounded when it is plugged into
a power receptacle).
This should be done several times during the operation with opened housing (especially after
leaving the service site because the movement on low conducting floors or in the air might cause
additional ESDs).

PHOTOMETER ASSEMBLY

2. Photometer Assembly

Depending on gas component and measuring range, different photometer assemblies may be
realized in BINOS® 100 4P. Optionally the photometer can be sealed against ambient air . In this
case all parts are sealed with O - rings.
The entire photometer assembly is mounted as a unit on the main circuit board (BKS) by means
of a bracket. The main circuit board is inserted into guide rails in the analyzer housing, to which
the front panel (membrane keypad) and the rear panel are mounted.

2.1 Photometer

To enable both types of measurement - the standard absolute and the additional differential
measurement (while taking the base concentration level into consideration) - a special photometer
assembly has been developed (see Fig. 2-1).

The basic part of the photometer assembly is the chopper housing (01). The light source (thermal
radiator, 02), the analysis cell (03), and the signal detection unit [including a filter cell (04) and a
detector (05/07)] are all mounted on this chopper housing.

The chopper housing also incorporates the interference filters for the selection of spectral
bandpass ranges from the broadband emission of the light sources.

Between the two halves of the chopper housing (03), which are sealed together with an O-ring,
there is the chopper blade which is driven b y a stepping motor. Both the chopper housing and the
motor encapsulation are hermetically sealed against ambient in order to prevent any gas from
entering, such as atmospheric CO2, which could lead to background absorptivity (preabsorption)
thus causing drift effects. An absorber pro vides f or constant remov al of any traces of CO2 which
may enter the interior of the chopper housing via diffusion.

In addition the chopper housing incorporates a photoelectric gate for providing a reference signal
for the phase angle of the chopper blade, and a temperature sensor (10) for monitoring
continuously the temperature of the photometer assembly . The information thus obtained is used
by the signal processing electronics to compensate thermal effects.

PHOTOMETER ASSEMBLY

Rosemount Analytical

Each analysis cell is divided in the middle by a partition wall in two halves: the measurement and
the reference side. These sides are sealed at both ends by CaF2 windows. This allows the
differential measurement to be carried out. The sample gas passes through the measurement side
while the reference side is filled with either nitrogen or another ref erence gas .

The filter cell (04) consists of a cone which optimally adjusts the radiation cross section of the
analysis cell to the detector surface.

2.2 Detectors

BINOS® 100 4P is equipped with two different detectors. The reason for this solution is the
dependence on temperature of an H2O-filled gas detector (dew point undershoot). Therefore , for
CO2 a gas detector is used and for H2O, a pyroelectrical (solid-state) detector.

The gas detector (05) and its preamplifier are interconnected by an isolated cable. The preamplifier
(06) is mounted on the analysis cell (03).

The solid-state detector and its preamplifier are directly interconnected (07); both are mounted
on the filter cell (04).

MEASURING PRINCIPLE

3. Measuring Principle

The analyzers are non - dispersive infrared photometers (NDIR).
They detect the infrared light absorbed by the gas to be measured using the measurement of
selective radiation in a column of gas.

The wavelength of the absorption bands is characteristic of the type of gas being measured, while
the absorption strength gives a measure of the concentration of this gas component.

The detector receives signals succeeding in time. The difference between the absorption
measured in the measurement and reference cells gives a measure of the difference in concen­tration of the gas component being measured.

To enable this measurement, a gas detector is used for CO2 and a pyroelectrical one for
water vapour.

3.1 Pyroelectrical Detector

The spectral transmittance curves of the interference filter used in the BINOS® 100 4P analyzer
and the spectral absorption of the gases CO2 and H2O are shown in Fig. 3-1. It can be seen that
the absorption bands of these gases each coincide with the bandpass of one of the interference
filters.

The signal is generated by a pyroelectrical detector. It records the incoming IR radiation; the
intensity of this radiation is reduced by the absorption of the gas at the according wavelengths. By
comparing the radiation of measurement side and reference side of the analysis cell, an alternating
voltage signal is developed. This signal results from cooling and heating of the pyroelectrical
material of the detector.

MEASURING PRINCIPLE

3.2 Opto - Pneumatic Measuring Principle (Gas Detector)

A thermal radiator generates the infrared radiation which passes first through a chopper wheel.
Then the radiation passes alternately through a filter cell and reaches the measurement and
reference sides of the analysis cell with equal intensity.

After passing another filter cell, the radiation reaches the gas detector.
The gas detector compares and evaluates the radiation coming from the measurement and
reference sides and converts them into voltage signals proportional to their intensity via a
preamplifier.

The detector consists of a gas-filled absorption and a compensation chamber, interconnected via
a flow channel.

MEASURING PRINCIPLE

Rosemount Analytical

Standardly the detector is filled with the infrared active gas to be measured and is only sensitive
to this distinct gas with its characteristic absorption spectrum. The absorption chamber is sealed
with a window which is transparent for infrared radiation (usually CaF2, calcium fluoride).

When IR radiation passes through the reference side (purged with an unpressurized gas, which
does not absorb within a specified spectral range; in most cases nitrogen [N2] is used) of the
analysis cell into the detector, no absorption occurs. Thus the gas inside the absorption chamber
is heated, it expands and some of it passes through the flow channel into the compensation
chamber.

When the IR radiation passes through the measurement side (purged with sample gas) of the
analysis cell into the detector, a part of it is absorbed depending on the gas concentration. Then
the gas in the absorption chamber is heated less than in the case of the radiation coming from
reference side. The absorption chamber cools down, the pressure is reduced, and a part of the gas
passes through the flow channel into the measuring chamber.

The flow channel is designed so that it hardly impedes the gas flow by restriction. Due to the
radiation of the chopper wheel, the different radiation intensities lead to periodically flow pulses
within the detector.

The microflow sensor ev aluates and converts the pulses into electrical voltages. The electronics ,
which follow, evaluate the signals and convert them into the corresponding display format.

MEASURING PRINCIPLE

3.3 Technique

The broad emission coming from two IR sources (in the case of dual channel analyzers)
passes a chopper blade, then passes through an optical filter and finally enters the analysis
cell. The light transmitted through these cells is focused by filter cells onto the detector. The
preamplified detector output signals are forwarded to the microprocessor electronics which
converts the analytical signals to results expressed directly in physical concentration units
such as Vol.-%, ppm, mg/Nm3 etc.

5. Preparation

Please check the packing and its contents immediately upon arrival.
If any item is damageg or lost you are kindly requested to notify the forwarder to undertake a
damage survey and report the loss or damage to us immediately .

5.1 Installation

The analyzer must not operate in explosive atmosphere without supplementary protective
measures !

The installation site for the analyzer has to be dry and remain above freezing point at all times.
The analyzer must be exposed neither to direct sunlight nor to strong sources of heat.
Be sure to observe the permissible ambient temperatures (cf. Section 24: Technical Data).

For outdoor installation, we recommend to install the analyzer in a protective cabinet. At least, the
analyzer has to be protected against rain (e.g., shelter).

The analyzer has to be installed as near as possible to the sample point in order to avoid low
response time caused by long sample gas lines.
In order to decrease the response time, a sample gas pump with a matching high pumping rate may
be used. Ev entually , the analyz er has to be operated in the bypass mode or by an o verflow v alve
to prevent too high flow and too high pressure (Fig. 5-1).

GAS CONDITIONING (SAMPLE HANDLING)

Rosemount Analytical

5.2 Gas Conditioning (Sample Handling)

The conditioning of the sample gas is of greatest importance for the successful operation of any
analyzer according to extractiv e method.

Only conditioned gas has to be supplied to the analyzer !

The gas has to fulfil the following conditions.

It must be:

❏ free of condensable constituents,
❏ free of dust,
❏ free of aggressive constituents which are not compatible with the material of the gas

paths, and

❏ have temperatures and pressures which are within the specifications stated in Section 24,

"Technical Data" of this manual.

Inflammable or explosive gas mixtures may not be intr oduced into the analyzer
without supplementary protective measures !

When analyzing vapors, the customer has to avoid the precipitation of condensate in the gas
paths.

Suitable gas conditioning hardware may be supplied or recommended for specific analytical
problems and operating conditions.

5.2.1 Gas Flow Rate

The gas flow rate should be within the range 0.2 l/min to max. 1.5 l/min !

A constant flow rate of about 1 l/min is recommended.

GAS CONNECTIONS

5.3 Gas Connections

All the fittings for gas line connections are placed just on the rear panel of the analyzer and are
clearly marked (Fig. 5-2 and Fig. A-2):

IN = gas inlet

OUT = gas outlet

M = measurement side

R = reference side

Do not interchange gas inlets and gas outlets !

The exhaust gas lines have to be mounted in a declining, pressureless and frost-free way
and according to the valid emission legislation!

Zero gas, span gas and reference gas are introduced directly via the respectiv e gas inlet. The test
gas containers hav e to be set up according to the current legislation.
Be sure to observe the safety regulations f or the respective gases !

PRESSURE CORRECTION / TOLERANCE CHECK

ENTRY OF SYSTEM PARAMETERS

8.2.1 Pressure Correction

To eliminate faulty measurements due to changes in barometric pressure or sample gas pressure,
the operator is offered the opportunity to enter the current pressure expressed in hPa (mbar) in a
range of 800 to 1300 hPa. The concentration values computed by the analyzer will then be
corrected to reflect the barometric pressure or sample gas pressure resp. entry.

The correction factor is calculated via following formula:

Correction factor =

1024 hPa

actual pressure

The entry is effected by using and

8.2.2 Tolerance Check

The tolerance function is for the activation and deactivation of the tolerance check procedure for
various calibration gases.

If the tolerance check procedure has been activated, the microprocessor will verify during
calibration procedures whether the used calibration gas shows a deviation of more than10 %
from measuring range of zero (zero - level) or more than 10 % of the nominal concentration value
entered resp. (span).

If this tolerance is exceeded, no calibration will be performed, and an error message will
appear (see Section 13).

Entry of “YES”: Tolerance check is deactivated.
Entry of “NO”: Tolerance check is activated.

Perform the entry by using and

To calculate the 10% value the measuring range of "AbS.2" is taken over from

"AbS.1" while being in absolute measuring range.

Note:

Usually it is not necessary to adjust a gas - cylinder correction factor of 1.000. The difference
between the set and the actual values may happen due to the test gas tolerances or during the
analyzer calibration.

In absolute measurement mode the reference side of the analyzer is purged with an unpressurized
gas, which does not absorb within a specified spectral range (flow: approx. 1 l/min)! In most cases
nitrogen (N2) is used.

CALIBRATION

Rosemount Analytical

9.3 Calibration

T o ensure correct measurement results, zeroing and spanning should be carried out once a week.
Spanning can be performed only after zeroing.

For the calibration procedure the required test gases have to be fed to the analyzer through the
respective gas inlets (cf. Section 5.3) with a no-back-pressure gas flow rate of about 1 l/min (the
same as with sample gas) !

After switching on the analyzer, wait at least 15 to 50 minutes
(depending on installed detectors) before admitting gas to the analyzer !

Zeroing

For zeroing, the measurement side of the analysis cell has to be purged with the same gas
as its reference side.

Spanning

The span gas concentration should be in a range of 80 % - 110 % of full - scale range !
For lower span gas concentrations the measuring accuracy could be lower for sample
gas concentrations, which are higher than the span gas concentration !

When using span gas mixtures the entry for “C.Cal” must be set to “NO”
(see Section 8.2.9) !

9 - 4

The correct pressure must be entered before performing the calibration,
if you want to have the possibility of pressure correction (see 8.2.1) !

GENERAL

Rosemount Analytical

12.2 General

The analyzer is equipped with a serial interface enabling communication with a host computer . The
host computer can call up, prescribe, or alter parameters, as well as initiate analyz er operations,
using standardized protocols. The optional BSI 10 plug in circuit board constitutes the hardw are
interface. This ma y be configured as RS 232 C or RS 485 interface. The RS 485 interface permits
networking several analyzers. Each analyzer may then be addressed using an assigned
numerical ID - code.

Communications are always initiated b y the host computer, i.e., analyz er behaves passively until
the host computer requests information from them or demands commencement of an action.

Communications use so - called “telegrams” being exchanged between the host computer and
the analyzer(s). Syntax for these telegrams is established in protocols.

T elegrams alwa ys commence with the "$" start character, immediately followed b y a three - digit
instruction code.

Subsequent elements of telegrams are segregated by the ";" hyphen c haracter.

The final element of all telegrams transmitted must be the “CR” termination character.

Upon receipt of the termination character, the analyzer attempts to e valuate the current contents
of its input buffer as a valid telegram. If the syntax of the transmitted telegram is correct, the analyzer
will transmit a response telegram to the host computer. This consists of the start character, an
instruction code, requested data, a block - parity byte, and the termination character .

If the syntax of the transmitted telegram is not correct, the analyzer will transmit a status telegram
containing an error message to the host computer. Each ter mination character reception thus
initiates an analyzer response.

90002927(1) BINOS® 100 4P e [1.00] 25.06.97

Rosemount Analytical

SERIAL INTERFACE (OPTION)

T o avoid detecting transmission errors, the host computer can insert a message - length parity byte
immediately preceding the termination character for verification by the analyz er .

The analyzer invariably transmits message - length parity bytes immediately preceding termina­tion characters.

The time elapsed between the reception of star t characters and termination characters is not
limited by the analyzer , i.e ., there are no “time - out” periods.

If the host computer transmits new characters before the analyzer has responded to the preceding
telegram, the analyzer’ s input b uffer will reject them, i.e ., these characters will be ignored b y the

analyzer .

The transmission rate may be set between 600 and 4800 baud.
An echo - mode may also be activated.

The analyzer software is configured so that telegrams may be sent to the host computer at time

SIP - parameter On.-L. = NO for off - line status

T elegram setting:

Instruction code 006: sets analyzer on - line status
Instruction code 007: sets analyzer off - line status

If the analyzer is set to off - line status, it will accept only instruction code 006. All other instructions
will be ignored and result in transmission of appropriate status telegrams.

12.3.4 Setting Interface Parameters

Agreement of interface parameters between analyzer and host computer is a fundamental
requirement for communication without errors.
The following analyzer parameters are concerned:

❏ Baud rate: 600 / 1200 / 2400 / 4800 bits/s
❏ Data bits: 8
❏ Stop bits: 2
❏ Parity bit: none
❏ Echo mode: on / off (received characters will be retransmitted immediately)
❏ LPB-test: on / off (message - length parity check)
❏ ID No.: 0 to 99 (device ID No . in RS 485 mode)

TELEGRAM SYNTAX

Rosemount Analytical

12.4 Telegram Syntax

Telegrams are assembled as follows:

12.4.1 Start Character ( “$” = Hex 24)

If the start character is missing will be transmitted of an appropriate status telegram by the analyzer.

12.4.2 Termination Character ( “CR” = Hex OD)

If the termination character is missing, no decoding of the transmitted information will be performed,
and the analyzer will not respond. No response message will be transmitted.

12.4.3 Instruction Code

Each instruction is assigned a unique three digit numerical instruction code. If a received
instruction code should be other than three digits in length or contain non - numerical ASCII­characters, the analyzer will transmit an appropriate status telegram. Reception of unassigned
instruction codes will also result in the transmission of a status telegram.

In the RS 232 C mode of operation, the instruction code immediately follows the start character;
in the RS 485 mode of operation, the start character is followed by a two - digit de vice identification
code, the separator character “;” and a three - digit instruction code, in this order .

12.4.4 Hyphen Character ( “;” = Hex 3B)

Individual elements of a telegram line are separated by this hyphen character. Missing hyphen
characters can lead to misinterpretations of telegrams, and will result in transmission of an
appropriate status telegram.

12.4.5 Status Telegram

If telegram syntax is faulty, or analyzer is unable to act upon an instruction received, then the
analyzer will transmit a status telegram to the host computer .

These status telegrams are listed here for reference:

NUMERICAL REPRESENTATION / BLOCK PARITY CHECK

Rosemount Analytical

12.4.6 Numerical Representations

T elegrams may contain integers or real numbers. The formats for these numbers are subject to the
following restrictions:

Integers: - Max. value = 216 - 1

- Positiv e numbers only accepted

- No decimal points allowed

Real: - Maximum of 6 digits accepted

- No alphabetic characters (e.g. 2.2E-6) allowed

- Analyzer output = 6 - digit real numbers

12.4.7 Block Parity Check

The master control computer may insert a message - length parity byte into telegrams. This
invariably consists of two characters.

The message - length parity byte is the cumulatively EXCLUSIVE - OR correlation of all previously
transmitted characters of the telegram line. Representation is in hexadecimal format. For example,
if the decimal value should be decimal 13, this will be represented by the two characters “OD”, i.e.,
030H and 044H.

The verification procedure may be enabled or disabled at the analyzer (see Section 12.3.4).

12.6 Datalogger

The analyzer has been equipped with a datalogger which instantly prints out all major data stored
during the measurement: measuring values, measurement mode, error status, serial number, and
time of up to 180 storage locations. An automatic function enables the automatic recording of
measuring values at defined time intervals. Data output is accomplished e.g. by a printer
connected via serial interface.

12.6.1 Manual Recording of Data in the Datalogger

DATALOGGER

If the measured value is displayed, then the actual data could be stored by just pressing

The measured value memory automatically switches over to the next storage location assigned.
The initiated storage process is acknowledged by the following message, displayed for a short
period of time:

(“XX” identifies the location for the next storage)

If all 180 storage locations are occupied, the error message “E.37” (OA error =
Overflow Area error) appears on the monitor . In case that the new values must be
stored, then press and the first lines will be overwritten.

Normally the message “E.37” disappears 1 or 2 minutes later.

The datalogger may be programmed via analyzer electronics, but this is possible only when “YES”
has been selected for parameter “P.SEt” (see Section 8.1).

In this case the assigned storage location number is constantly display ed on the monitor .

In addition the storage location can now be freely assigned by pressing the keys
