SECTION 1
DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
The Model CAT7 Thermal Conductivity Analyzer is
designed to continuously measure the concentration of
a single component of interest in a flowing gas mixture. The measurement is based on the different
thermal conductivity's of the individual components of
the sample stream. The method is especially well
suited to analysis of two-component sample streams.
However, analysis of multi-component streams is possible if the various components of the background gas
occur in relatively constant ratio, or have similar thermal conductivity's.
Each Model CAT7 Analyzer is factory-assembled, as
ordered, for determination of a specified component,
with specified range of concentration, contained in a
background component or background mixture of
known composition. Typical examples include: 0 to
100 % hydrogen in nitrogen; 20 to 50 % helium in
methane; and 0% to 3% carbon dioxide in air. If so
ordered, the instrument is provided with two or three
ranges; selectable via a side-panel switch. Information specific to the individual instrument is provided in
the data sheet inserted in the back of this instruction
manual.
A Model CAT7 Analyzer consists of an analyzer module, Section 1-1, and, if ordered, an accessory gas
selector panel, Section 1-4.
1-2 THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY CELL
The thermal conductivity cell is a metal
block with separate passages for the sample and reference gases. In all applications,
the sample passage receives a continuous
flow of sample gas. Depending on the application, the reference passage may receive a continuous flow of reference gas, or
may have the reference gas sealed within.
The sample passage contains a pair of
temperature-sensitive resistive filaments.
The reference passage contains a similar
pair. Electrically, the filaments are connected as legs of a Wheatstone bridge. An
internal voltage-regulated power supply is
connected via a 20-ohm dropping resistor,
to the bridge.
With the power supply output adjusted to
provide an appropriate voltage across the
bridge, an electric current flows through the
filaments, heating them and thus increasing
their electrical resistance. The
heat-dissipation rate for each filament depends on the thermal conductivity of the
surrounding gas.
1-1 ANALYZER MODULE
The analyzer module is supplied in an explosion-proof enclosure suitable for installation in
hazardous locations classified as Zone 1,

), T4.

Initially, with suitable downscale calibration
gas flowing through the sample passage
(and also through the reference passage if
of the flow-through configuration), the
bridge is balanced. Thereafter, any change
in the relative proportions of the components passing through the sample passage
changes the thermal conductivity of the gas
mixture, causing a temperature differential
between sample and reference filaments.
The resultant change in filament resistance
unbalances the bridge, applying a signal to
the electronic circuitry (Section 1-3).

1-3 ELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY
The analyzer module contains solid-state circuitry that conditions the bridge-imbalance
signal as required to provide readout on the
meter. In addition, a field-selectable output
for a voltage-type recorder is provided as
standard. A field-selectable output of 4 to 20
mA for a current-actuated recorder or other
device is obtainable through use of an optional plug-in circuit board. A calibration
curve can be used to convert meter or recorder readings into concentration values.
Typical calibration curves are supplied for
standard ranges. Calibration curves for special ranges are available as options.
To avoid use of a calibration curve in an application where it would otherwise be required,
the analyzer may be equipped with an optional linearizer board. If so, the linearizer is
factory set for a given range only, and is not
usable on another range. Note that a linearizer is usable only if non-linearity at mid-
scale does not exceed approximately 20% of
fullscale.
1-4 GAS SELECTOR PANEL
If so ordered, the analyzer module is provided
with an appropriate gas selector panel, Figure
1-4. The gas selector panel permits selection,
flow adjustment, and flow measurement for
the various gases: sample; flowing reference
gas, if used; and downscale and upscale calibration gases. Proper choice of a gas selector panel depends on:
1. Configuration of the thermal conductivity
cell, i.e., flowing or sealed-in reference
gas.
2. Composition of the sample stream. For
non-corrosive streams, the gas selector
panel is assembled with brass components. For corrosive streams, stainless
steel is used.

INSTALLATION
2-1 SITE PREPARATION
This section provides information that may be
required prior to installation.
For outline and mounting dimensions of the
analyzer drawing 661318. For outline and
mounting dimensions of the gas selector
panel, see Figure 2-1, and Figure 2-2.
2-2 CUSTOMER ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Customer electrical connections are shown in
Figure 2-7 and drawing 661562.
2-3 FLOW DIAGRAMS
For gas connections, refer to appropriate flow
diagram:
• Analyzer using sealed reference
gas, Figure 2-4.
• Analyzer using flowing reference
gas, Figure 2-5.
2-4 LOCATION AND MOUNTING
a. Location
Proper location for the analyzer depends
on two basic considerations:
•
Accessibility to the sampling point
•
Protection of the instrument
Ideally, the analyzer should be located as
close to the sampling point as possible.
Short sample lines reduce time lag in
readings. In practice, however, protection
of the instrument sometimes calls for
more remote placement.
The analyzer should be mounted in a
clean, dry atmosphere. Ambient temperature should be within the range of
o
32
F to 100 F (0oC to 38oC).
b. Mounting
The analyzer is designed for wall mounting. Refer to drawing 661318.

2-5 UNPACKING
The Model CAT7 Thermal Conductivity Analyzer is a precision instrument and should be
handled carefully. Carefully examine the
shipping carton and contents for signs of
damage. Immediately notify the carrier if the
carton or its contents are damaged. Retain
the carton and packing material until the instrument is operational.
2-6 GAS REQUIREMENTS
The Model CAT7 requires cylinder gases appropriate to the particular application (refer to
the Data Sheet in the rear of this manual).
Suitable gases are available from various
suppliers.
2-7 CALIBRATION GAS REQUIREMENTS
For calibration, the analyzer requires a downscale and an upscale calibration gas, both
normally specified in the Data Sheet. Proper
choice of calibration gases for a particular application depends on the composition of the
sample stream and the operating range used.
a. Sample Gas Composition
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 instruments 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 leakproof condition.
Internal leaks resulting from failure to observe these precautions could result in an
explosion causing death, personal injury
or property damage.
2-9 LEAK CHECK
Pressurize the system with air or inert gas
such as nitrogen, making sure not to exceed
specified pressure limitation.
In a typical application, the sample gas
consists of two components, for example:
hydrogen in nitrogen. In this example,
hydrogen is designated the “measured
component” and nitrogen constitutes the
“background gas.”
2-8 SUPPRESSED-ZERO RANGES
With any zero-suppressed range, the
zero-concentration point for the measured
component lies off-scale, below the lower
range-limit. A typical example is 80% to
100% hydrogen in nitrogen. Here the appropriate upscale calibration gas would be pure
hydrogen. The downscale gas would have a
composition appropriate to establishing a calibration point slightly above the lower
range-limit e.g., 81% hydrogen in nitrogen.
Liberally cover all fittings, seals and other
possible sources of leakage with leak test liquid such as SNOOP (PN 837801).
Bubbling or foaming indicates leakage, which
MUST be corrected before introduction of
flammable-sample and/or application of electrical power.

must be interconnected according to the flow
diagram specified in the Data Sheet at the
front of this manual. Gas fittings on both
modules are tagged as to use. Fittings are
1/4-inch NPT for 1/4-inch (6.3 mm) tubing.
For interconnection, use 1/4-inch (6.3 mm)

Removal of AC power from the analyzer,
as in a power failure, de-energizes both
alarm module relays, setting an alarm
condition. Switching characteristics of the
ALARM 1 and ALARM 2 relays are as
follows:
Alarm 1 Relay
The ALARM 1 relay coil is de-energized
when the meter needle moves downscale
through the value that corresponds to
setpoint minus deadband. This relay coil
is energized when the needle moves upscale through the value that corresponds
to setpoint plus deadband (see Figure
2-10).
Alarm 2 Relay
The ALARM 2 relay coil is de-energized
when the meter needle moves upscale
through the value that corresponds to the
setpoint plus deadband. This relay coil is
energized when the needle moves downscale through the value that corresponds
to setpoint minus deadband (see Figure
2-10).
Fail-safe Applications
By making the appropriate connections to
the double-throw relay contacts, the operator can obtain either 1) a contact closure or contact opening for an energized
relay, or 2) a contact closure or contact
opening for a de-energized relay. For
fail-safe applications, the operator must

OPERATION
3-1 ANALYZER CONTROLS AND ADJUST-
MENTS
Normal operation of the analyzer involves
adjustments of only the ZERO, SPAN, and
RANGE Switch, if provided. See Figure 1-1.
The various internal adjustments are factory
set and normally do not require readjustment
except after replacement of a circuit board or
major component. Refer to Section 1.
3-2 GAS SELECTOR PANEL CONTROLS
The controls provided on the optional gas selector panel will depend on the application.
For use of sealed-in reference gas, refer to
Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-4. For flowing reference gas, refer to Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-5.
3-3 STARTUP PROCEDURE
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 leakproof condition. Leak-check instructions
are provided in Section 2-9.
Internal leaks resulting from failure to observe these precautions could result in an
explosion causing death, personal injury
or property damage.
NOTE:
Never apply power to analyzer without gas
flowing. The filaments in the cell tend to
deteriorate faster than normal.
Board (depending on detector bridge polarity). This action disconnects power to
the bridge. To safeguard against filament
damage, this lead should remain disconnected until proper gas flow has been established. Refer to drawing 661562.
After performing a leak check, start up the
analyzer as follows:
1. Set regulators on the gas cylinders for a
supply pressure of 10 to 50 psig f(69 to
345 kPa).
2. Provide a sample flow of 50 to 350
cc/minute through the analyzer. A rate of
250 cc/minute is recommended unless
faster flow is desired to reduce sample
transport time.
3. If the thermal conductivity cell uses flowing reference gas, provide a reference
flow of 5 to 50 cc/minute.
4. Apply power to the analyzer. The filaments will now begin to heat. Verify
proper flow of sample gas and flowing
reference gas, if used.
5. Allow the analyzer to warm-up for a minimum of six hours to ensure temperature
equilibrium.
NOTE:
If ambient temperature is below 60°F
(15.6°C), or if the temperature will go below
60°F (15.6°C) within the next six hours, allow a minimum of 12 hours for the instrument to stabilize.
Startup is now complete; the analyzer is ready
for calibration per Section 3-4.

THEORY
4-1 THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY CELL AND AS-
SOCIATED BRIDGE ADJUSTMENTS
Within the thermal conductivity cell are four
resistive filaments suspended in individual
cavities of a metal block (Figure 4-1A) and
connected electrically as legs of a Wheatstone bridge (Figure 4-1B). Although physically the cell block is one piece, functionally it
may be considered to have two sides as
shown:
Sample Side
Two filaments that constitute opposite legs of
the bridge are positioned in a passage that
receives a continuous flow of the sample gas.
Reference Side
The remaining two filaments are positioned in
a passage filled with the reference gas. Depending on the application, the reference gas
may flow continuously through the passage,
or it may be sealed within the cell.
The Bridge Voltage Power Supply is connected, via a 20-ohm dropping resistor, to the
bridge (See Section 4-5). The power supply
output is adjusted to provide an appropriate
voltage across bridge terminals 1(+) and 2(-).
An electric current flows through the filaments,
heating them and thus increasing their electrical resistance. The heat-dissipation rate for
each filament depends on the thermal conductivity of the surrounding gas. Initially, with
downscale calibration gas flowing through the
sample and reference sides of the
flow-through configuration, R26 is set for zero
bridge-output signal. During subsequent
analysis of the sample stream, any change in
the relative proportions of the components
passing through the sample side changes the
thermal conductivity of the gas mixture, caus-
ing a temperature differential between sample
and reference filaments. The resultant
change in filament resistance unbalances the
bridge.
The bridge-imbalance signal is routed to the
Master Board, where it is processed to drive
the meter and recording device, if used (see
Section 4-2).
Periodically, downscale calibration gas is
passed through the cell, and the ZERO Pot is
adjusted for an appropriate reading on the
meter or recorder.
4-2 MASTER BOARD
The Master Board, Figure 2-8, provides two
stages of amplification utilizing integrated-circuit amplifiers AR1 and AR2.
a. Functions Associated with AR1
AR1: Gain Adjust Potentiometer R4.
This screwdriver-adjustable, factory-set
trimming potentiometer determines feedback resistance for AR1 and thus permits
adjustment of AR1 gain from X1 to X100.
This adjustment sets the sensitivity for
Range 1, i.e., the highest-sensitivity
range.
Range Provisions: In the basic single-range Model CAT7, a jumper is connected from TB3-1 to TB3-4, thus routing
the unattenuated output from AR1 directly
to the non-inverting input of AR2. During
factory assembly of a dual-range or triple-range instrument, the jumper is omitted and a RANGE Switch is connected as
shown below. The output from AR1 is
then routed to AR2 through a network that
provides adjustable attenuation for ranges
2 and 3.

AR2 Zero Adjustment Potentiometer R1:
This screwdriver-adjustable, factory-set
trimming potentiometer is used to eliminate voltage offset within AR2. When the
input signal is zero, R15 is adjusted so
that the output signal also is zero.
SPAN Control: This potentiometer provides continuously variable adjustment of
closed-loop gain for AR2, to permit establishing an upscale calibration point on the
meter scale or recorder chart. With upscale calibration gas flowing through the
analyzer, the SPAN Control is adjusted
for the appropriate reading.
d. Meter
The meter is connected from TB3-7 to
TB3-8. Potentiometer R22 permits adjusting meter sensitivity so that meter fullscale agrees with recorder fullscale.
e. Output Selection Switch S1
4-3 VOLTAGE OUTPUT LINEARIZER BOARD
OPTION
The output signal from the Master Board is a
function of the degree of imbalance in the
bridge circuit, but is not linear with respect to
the concentration of the measured component. Providing that the non-linearity of the
calibration curve does not exceed 20% at
midscale (for 50 % H
put Linearizer Board may be used to equip a
given operating range for linear readout of
concentration on the meter and on a potentiometric recorder.
Straightening of the concentration-vs.-output
curve is accomplished by sequential adjustment of eight odd-numbered trimming potentiometers designated R19 through R33. Each
pot controls the gain of an associated operational amplifier.
During factory checkout of a linearizer circuit
board, potentiometers R19 through R33 are
initially set at midrange. With zero input signal applied to the linearizer circuit, ZERO potentiometer R35 is adjusted for zero output.
Then an appropriate low-level signal is applied to the input, and R19 is adjusted for fullscale output. The procedure is repeated as
many times as required to obtain properly
linearized output.

4-4 ISOLATED 4 TO 20 MA CURRENT OUTPUT
BOARD OPTION
This option provides isolated current output
for applications which require 4 to 20 mA into
a maximum load of 1500 ohms. This output is
NOT linearized. A description of the board
and the functions of its main components follows.
The purpose of the Isolated Current-Output
Board is to convert an input signal of 0 to -5 V
to an isolated output signal of 4 to 20 mA.
With a zero voltage at the input, R6 is adjusted so that the output at AR1 is 1 V. The
gain of AR1 is .8 so that an input of 0 to -5 V
is converted to 1 to 5 V. This voltage is fed to
a variable output level-inverter consisting of
AR2, Q1, Q2, and T1. T1 has two identical
output windings, each with a rectified DC output. One is used to provide feedback to the
inverter input of AR2. The other is used as an
isolated output to drive AR3 and Q3 with a 1
to 5 V signal across R16. Trim-pot R17 is
adjusted to provide a span of 4 to 20 mA.
This current is presented to the collector of Q3
and is capable of driving loads of up to 1500
ohms.
4-5 BRIDGE POWER SUPPLY
The regulated, adjustable voltage required for
the thermal conductivity bridge (Section 4-1)
is provided by the Bridge Power Supply. It
consists of a power transformer, fullwave rectifiers CR1 and CR2, voltage regulator Q1,
and an RC filter network. Bridge voltage, as
measured between bridge terminals 1(+) and
2(-), is adjustable from 5 to 13 VDC via R2.
Proper setting depends primarily on filament
material: 3 to 4 VDC for tungsten; 5 to 12
VDC for Hitempco. Bridge voltage is factory-set as required for the application (see
Data Sheet) and normally does not require
readjustment unless the power supply is replaced.
619710, power transformer T1 has three secondary that are used as follows:
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 circuit board and
to test point TP1. Potentiometer R2 should be
adjusted to +15.5 VDC ±50 mVDC.
The negative DC, regulated by VR2 is applied
to pin D of the circuit board.
The center tap is the common reference for
both the +15 and -15 volt supplies and is applied to pin R of the circuit board and to test
point TP2.
Both outputs are used for individual amplifiers
on the various circuit boards.
90-volt center-tapped secondary
Drives a rectifier circuit on the optional Current Output Board. The transformer winding
and the associated circuit constitute a floating
power supply for the emitter-follower stage.
9.5 VAC secondary
Drives a +5 VDC supply not used in this instrument.
4-7 DETECTOR BLOCKS
There are two types of detector configurations; flowing reference and sealed nitrogen
reference. The sealed reference with nitrogen
can be recharged by flowing nitrogen through
the reference and closing the plugs. Three
filament types are available: tungsten,
Hitempco, and gold-sheathed tungsten.
4-6 ±15 VOLT POWER SUPPLY
The ±15 Volt Power Supply plugged into J101
of the Master Board, provides power for the
various circuits. As shown in schematic

Changes in case temperature affect the resistance of the sensor connected to J18. This
in turn changes the bias of amplifier AR1,
which controls the input to the case heater via
switch U2. The heater receives power
through pins 3, 4 and/or 5, depending on the
voltage selected at switch S3. A thermal fuse
at J5 prevents the case from overheating.
4-9 DUAL ALARMS OPTION
Instruments with optional Dual Alarms have
two pots on the front door which are used to
select setpoints. The scales on the nameplate designate setpoints from 0 to 100%.
The module plugs into a socket, which is part
of a terminal block mounted onto the chassis
of the instrument. A marker on the alarm
module indicates the function of each socket
pin.
This unit is factory configured and requires no
user adjustment. Pins for AC power (1, 2, and
3), alarm setpoint control (8, 10, 18, and 19),
and signal from analyzer circuitry (7 and 9)
are wired at the factory.
Connections of the remaining pins depend
upon the application. The relays are rated at

isolate the analyzer from the sample and the
sample-handling system.
First admit downscale and upscale standard
gases to analyzer and note response:
1. If performance is normal with standard
gases, although not with sample gas, the
sample and the sample-handling system
are suspect. Check these areas.
2. If analyzer gives off-scale or erratic readings with standard gases, as well as with
sample gas, the problem might be the
filaments or the electronic circuitry. To
isolate the malfunction, substitute fixed
precision resistors of appropriate value for
the filaments. Hitempco filaments have a
cold resistance of 72 ohms. Tungsten
filaments have a cold resistance of 18
ohms. Filament connections are shown in
schematic 654616. With appropriate resistors substituted for the filaments, attempt to balance the bridge as follows:
a. If bridge balance is obtained with the
fixed resistors, the filaments are
probably defective and should be replaced.
b. If bridge balance is unobtainable with
the fixed resistors, the problem might
be the electronic circuitry. Substitute
each circuit board, in turn, until proper
operation is obtained.
5-1 THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY CELL
The thermal conductivity cell and associated
elements of the bridge are mounted inside the
analyzer case, within a thermally-insulated
compartment.
Depending on the bridge current level, the
filaments gradually become mismatched, and
eventually burn out. Normal progression of
symptoms is baseline drift. Sealed reference
cells must be serviced by the factory.
If the cell uses flowing reference gas, the filaments may be replaced by the user. Refer to
Figure 4-1 and the parts list in Section 1.
Filaments are sold as matched sets. If one
must be replaced, its mate also must be replaced. Electrically, the filaments are mated
across the diagonals of the cell. Refer to
Figure 4-1B. The filament across points 3 and
1 corresponds to the filament across 8 and 1,
and the filament across points 6 and 2 corresponds to the filament across 5 and 2.

5-2 ELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY
a. Amplifier Zero Adjustments
The zero adjustments on the Master
Board are factory set and normally do not
require readjustment except after replacement of a major component. If readjustment becomes necessary, use
following procedure:
AR2 Zero Adjustment (Refer to Figure
2-8):
1. Open the input to AR2. In a single-range instrument, this is done by
disconnecting the jumper from TB3-1
to TB3-4.
2. Ground the input of AR2 by connecting a jumper from TB3-4 to TP1
(GND).
3. Adjust R15 for 0 VDC output signal at
TB4-2.
4. Restore connections to normal.
b. Bridge Balance and Range Sensitivity
Adjustments
Perform start-up procedure in Section 3-3,
then proceed as follows:
Sensitivity Adjustment(s) are:
1. Admit upscale calibration gas to the
analyzer at the same flow rate as is
used for the sample gas. Wait for
reading on meter or recorder to stabilize.
2. On the Master Board, set AR2 Gain
Adjustment R4 so that reading on the
recorder, if used, or on the meter is
appropriate to the upscale calibration
gas. Refer to data sheet or calibration curve. Range 1 sensitivity is now
properly adjusted.
3. If analyzer has more than one range,
set the RANGE Switch for Range 2.
This is the reduced sensitivity range.
Then, on the Master Board, set
Range 2 Attenuation Adjustment R7
so that the reading on the recorder, if
used, or on the meter is appropriate
to the upscale calibration gas.
4. If the analyzer has three ranges, set
the RANGE Switch for Range 3. This
is the least sensitive range. Then, on
the Master Board, set Range 3 Attenuation Adjustment R9 so that the
reading on the recorder, if used, or on
the meter is appropriate to the upscale calibration gas.
1. On the analyzer, set the ZERO and
SPAN controls to their midpoints (five
turns). If the analyzer has a RANGE
Switch, set it to Range 1, the highest-sensitivity range.
2. Admit downscale calibration gas to
the analyzer at the same flow rate as
is used for the sample gas. Wait for
the reading on the meter or recorder
to stabilize.
3. Refer to Figure 2-8 and set the Balance Adjustment on the Master
Board, (range 1 or single range R8,
range 2 R6, range 3 R26) so that the
reading on the meter or recorder is
zero or an offset value. Refer to Data
Sheet.
5-2 Service and MaintenanceRosemount Analytical Inc. A Division of Emerson Process Management
5. If previous readings were obtained on
a recorder, set the Meter 100% Adjustment R22 so that the meter fullscale matches the recorder fullscale.
If the analyzer has more than one
range, this adjustment should be
made on Range 1.
Bridge Voltage Adjustment
Bridge voltage is factory set as required
for the application (see Data Sheet) and
normally does not require readjustment
unless the bridge power supply is replaced. Bridge voltage is measured between terminals 1(-) and 2(+), and is
adjustable via R2. See schematic
613561.

c. Case Temperature Controller
Refer to drawing 661540. Malfunction in
this option can occur in three areas:
Heater
Check continuity with ohmmeter. Verify
that resistance is approximately 113 ohms
at 25°C.
Temperature Sensor
This is an RTD and should have approximately 550 ohms at 25°C. Check for
continuity with ohmmeter.
Thermal Fuse
The fuse opens at temperatures above
72°C. Check continuity with ohmmeter.
d. Dual Alarm Module (Optional)
This module is not user-serviceable. If
problems occur, contact Rosemount
Analytical service.
The module has Zero and Span potentiometers that set the 0 to 5 V input. To
check these, adjust the analyzer for zero
gas, set the Low Alarm set point to 0 %,
and turn the Deadband counterclockwise.
Adjust the Zero pot to trigger the alarm.
Do the same for High Alarm (ALARM 2 on
the front panel). The alarm span should
agree with the analyzer meter span. Readjust the deadbands to the desired level.
(See Figure 2-9 and Figure 2-10)
NOTE
For instruments with more than one range,
RANGE 1 is the most sensitive range; it
must be set for the highest gain. This
range should be used for the smallest
span. Always start procedure with RANGE
1 (i.e., RANGE 1 ... 95 to 100%, RANGE 2 ...
90 to 100%, RANGE 3 ... 60 to 80%).
1. Set the ZERO and SPAN controls to their
midpoints (five turns).
2. If the instrument has a Range Switch, set
it to RANGE 1.
3. On the Master Board, connect a digital
voltmeter between TB3-1 and TP1 (polarity does not matter).
4. Flow downscale calibration gas through
the sample inlet of the analyzer. Adjust
R8 until the reading on the voltmeter is
zero. The analyzer meter should also
read zero.
5. Flow upscale calibration gas through the
sample inlet of the instrument. Adjust R4
until the meter reads 100 % (fullscale).
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 above until no adjustment is required.
If the analyzer has more than one range, repeat steps 2 through 6 with the following alterations:
Range 2
5-3 SUPPRESSED ZERO ADJUSTMENT
If the instrument has suppressed-zero ranges
and does not calibrate properly, adjust the
potentiometers located on the Master Board
(see Figure 2-8). Follow the startup procedure in Section 3-3. After the analyzer has
stabilized, use appropriate calibration gases
to make the following adjustments. Refer to
Section 2-7 for information on selecting appropriate gases.
Rosemount Analytical Inc. A Division of Emerson Process Management Service and Maintenance 5-3
Set the Range Switch to RANGE 2. In step 4,
adjust R6, and in step 5, adjust R7.
Range 3
Set the Range Switch to RANGE 3. In step 4,
adjust R26, and in step 5, adjust R9.
