This instrument’s internal pullout chassis is equipped with a safety stop latch located on the left
side of the chassis. When extracting the chassis, verify that the safety latch is in its proper
(counter-clockwise) orientation.
If access to the rear of the chassis is required, the safety stop may be overridden by lifting the
latch; however, further extraction must be done very carefully to insure the chassis does not fall
out of its enclosure.
If the instrument is located on top of a table or bench near the edge, and the chassis is extracted, it
must be supported to prevent toppling.
Failure to observe these precautions could result in personal injury and/or damage to the product.

Used by Permission
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
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.

CONDENSED STARTUP AND CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Model 868
Prior to shipment, this analyzer was subjected
to extensive factory performance testing, during
which all necessary optical and electrical adjustments were made. The following instructions are recommended for initial startup and
subsequent standardization of the analyzer. In
most cases, these simple instructions are sufficient to operate the analyzer. The detailed instructions given in Section 3 are required if the
optical bench alignment has been disturbed,
which could possible occur during shipment.

DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
1-1 OVERVIEW
The Model 868 Non-Dispersive Infrared Analyzer (NDIR) continuously determines the concentration of a particular component of interest
in a flowing mixture. The analysis is based on a
differential measurement of the absorption of infrared energy. With the proper selection of detector, optics and cells, the instrument has a
wide range of applications, subject only to the
limitation that the analysis involve the determination of a single component, which must absorb infrared energy.
Within the analyzer, two equal energy infrared
beams are directed through two parallel optical
cells, a flow-through sample cell and a sealed
reference cell. Solid-state electronic circuitry
continuously measures the difference between
the amount of infrared energy absorbed in the
Instruction Manual
748003-N

SECTION 1
two cells. This difference is a measure of
the concentration of the component of interest in the sample. Readout is on a front
panel display with 0 to 199.9 digital display.
In addition, a +5 VDC output for a potentiometric (voltage) recorder is provided as
standard. Additional outputs (0 to 10 mV, 0
to 100 mV, 0 to 1 VDC) are available as options.
A calibration curve may be used to convert
display or recorder readings into concentration values. The analyzer may utilize an optional linearizer circuit for linear readout of
concentration values on the display and on
a recorder.
The analyzer is equipped for remote selection of ranges.

2-9 CALIBRATION GAS REQUIREMENTS
Analyzer calibration consists of setting a
zero point and one or more upscale points.
All applications require a zero standard gas
to set the zero point on the display or recorder chart. If the factory Calibration and
Data Sheet (in the rear of this manual)
specifies the background gas, use it as the
zero gas. If background gas is not specified, use dry nitrogen for the zero gas.
Model 868
Instruction Manual
748003-N
November 2002
2-10 SAMPLE HANDLING SYSTEM
Many different sample handling systems are
available, either completely assembled or as
loose components. The type used depends on
the requirements of the particular application
and the preferences of the individual user.
Typically, the sample handling system incorporates such components as pumps, valves to
permit selection of sample, zero standard, or
upscale standard gas; needle valve in sampleinlet line for flow adjustment; flowmeter for flow
measurement and/or indication of flow stoppage; and filter(s) to remove particulate matter.
2-11 LEAK TEST
DANGER
POSSIBLE EXPLOSION HAZARD
This instrument is not designed for analysis
of flammable gas samples. If flammable gas
samples are introduced, internal leakage
may result creating a flammable mixture
which could result in an explosion.
2-12 SAMPLE FLOW RATE
For best results, the sample flow rate must
be in the range of 1 to 2 SCFH (500 to 1000
cc/min.). A subnormal flow rate will result in
undesirable time lag.
Assume that two cell columns are required
to flush any cell. Table 2-1, on page 2-4,
indicates approximate flushing time at atmospheric sampling pressure, i.e., the outlet of the cell venting to a atmosphere for
various cell lengths.
Flushing time is inversely proportional to
flow rate.
The primary effect of flow rate, other than
flushing time, is cell pressure. Due to the
restriction of the exit tubing, increasing flow
rate increases sample pressure in the cell.
For a 9-inch (232 mm) cell venting to atmosphere, the cell pressure rises from 0
psig (0 kPa) at no flow, essentially linearity,
by 1 mm Hg per CFH flow up to at least 20
CFH (10 L/min.).
The following procedure is designed for sample
pressure up to 10 psig (69 kPa).
1. Supply air or inert gas such as nitrogen at
10 psig (69 kPa) to analyzer via a flow indicator with a range of 0 to 250 cc/min.
2. Set flow rate at 125 cc/min.
3. Use a suitable test liquid such as SNOOP
(PN 837801) to detect leaks. Cover all
fittings, seals and all sources of possible
leaks.
4. Check for bubbling or foaming which indicates leaks.
5. Correct any leakage for introduction of
sample and/or application of electrical
power.
At 7.5 to 8.0 CFH (3.8 to 4 L/min.), therefore, the pressure is increased by about 1%,
and the output signal is thereby increased
by about the same 1% over static conditions. In all cases, the effect of pressure on
readout is eliminated if the same flow rate is
used for the measured sample as well as
for the zero gas and span gas.
It should be noted that at higher flow rates,
because of increase in sample cell pressure, the non-linearity of the calibration
curve increases. Therefore, if higher flow
rates are required, the calibration curve
should be redrawn at these same flow
rates.
At 2 CFH (1 L/min.) gaseous sample temperatures are equilibrated to instrument
temperature regardless of stream temperature. At extremely high flow rates, this may
not be true, but no such effect has been
noted up to 18 CFH (9 L/min.).
Rosemount Analytical Inc. A Division of Emerson Process Management Installation 2-3
In some applications the analyzer is used to
measure the difference between the concentration of the component of interest in two sample
streams. If so, the reference side of the analyzer, as well as the sample side, utilizes a flow-

component.
