User Manual Introduction
QCL-MAN -CT2211-Aerosol-Leak-Detection-System-Rev F October 2015
1 Introduction
The aerosol leak detection system described in this document has been quality control
tested and left the manufacturer in pristine condition. To achieve the correct and safe
operation of the product, it must be transported, installed, operated, and maintained
as described by the manufacturer.
This manual contains all the information required to operate the leak detection
system, including basic maintenance and troubleshooting information. Please read the
manual carefully before you start work on the leak detection system, as it contains
important information that must be followed to guarantee the correct operation of
the system and the safety of personnel. The manual is divided into sections, which
allows you to rapidly find the information you need.
Cascade Technologies is committed to continuously improving its products and
documentation. Every effort will be made to include any sensor modifications by the
manufacturer in the documentation. However, it should be noted that this document
reflects the supplied sensor as of the revision number and date on the front cover.
Should you require further information or should particular problems arise that are not
covered within this user manual, then refer to the Leak Detection System Installation
and Service Manual. Additional help can also be requested from Cascade Technical
Support (qcl.csc@emerson.com) or Cascade Technologies distribution partners.
1.1 Qualified personnel
These operating instructions have been prepared for technically qualified personnel
who have been specially trained or who possess appropriate knowledge in the field of
instrumentation and control.
Knowledge of the safety information within this user manual and its technically correct
implementation are prerequisites for danger-free installation, commissioning,
operation and maintenance of the system. Only qualified persons have the required
specific knowledge to correctly interpret the general safety information and warnings
given in this user manual and thus apply them to the particular application.
1.2 Safety
During the manufacturing process of the aerosol leak detection system, a rigorous set
of safety and quality checks is performed to ensure that the equipment meets and
exceeds the safety requirements for the system. In order to maintain the operational
performance and safety of the control system, the correct installation, use, and
maintenance procedures detailed by the manufacturer must be adhered to.
The aerosol leak detection system uses no ionizing radiation.
Certain parts of the Leak Detection system carry dangerous voltages. All housings
must be closed with covers in place and the sensor head mounted and connected to
the air arch before switching on. Death, personal injury, and/or damage to persons
and/or property may result if this is not observed.
Introduction 1
Introduction User Manual
October 2015 QCL-MAN-CT2211-Aerosol-Leak-Detection-System-Rev F
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
All lasers used within the leak detection system are of class 1. The emitted laser light is
invisible (mid-infrared) and the pulse duration so short that the unprotected eye will
not be damaged. The nature of the laser beam path and beam width furthers ensures
that it should be impossible to cause any eye damage. The leak detection system has
warning labels at appropriate positions according to USA 21 CFR 1040.10.
1.3 Certifications and approvals
All in zone parts comply with the ATEX directive (94/9/EC).
This leak detector complies with USA 21 CFR 1040.10. It is
also designed and manufactured under an approved
quality management system to ISO 9001:2008.
1.4 System overview
The aerosol leak detector is used on aerosol production lines in conjunction with a
control and reject mechanism, to form the aerosol leak detection system, which is
used to manage the interaction with the line and the safe removal of faulty cans at
high speed. The system consists of a detector, control console (non-ATEX), encoder,
optical gates, rejecter (air based reject as standard), reject chute, air preparation
equipment, and mounting mechanics. Figure 1-1and Figure 1-2 below show the
schematic of the leak detection system:

1.5 Leak detector overview
The leak detector identifies aerosol cans that are leaking propellant as they are carried
along a conveyor belt at high speed. The leak detector consists of an air extraction
arch, air filter/regulator, sample cell, sensor head and either a Venturi or 3-phase
blower.

A. Air extraction arch — draws the air from around the aerosol can into the
sample handling system
B. Air filter — for the removal of air particles and leaked contents of the
aerosol cans
C. Sample cell — laser light is directed through the air extracted from around
the cans and back into the sensor head.
D. Sensor head — contains the lasers and laser light detector. It is ATEX
Category 3 rated for a Zone 2 explosive environment.
E. Conveyor belt — transporting the aerosol cans
Aerosol cans (not shown) are moving along the conveyor belt.
The control console (not shown) is located outside the explosive environment and is
not ATEX rated.

The power supply (not shown) for the sensor is also mounted outside the explosive
environment.
The Venturi (not shown) is powered by compressed air and mounted in the exhaust
line below the sample cell. It is used to draw air from around the aerosol cans via the air
extraction arch.
The 3-phase blower (not shown) is powered from the control cabinet and mounted in
the exhaust line below the sample cell. It is used to draw air from around the aerosol
cans via the air extraction arch.
The Venturi air status pressure switch (not shown) signals a third party controller if the
air pressure drops below that required by the Venturi.
Gas concentrations are measured using mid-infrared optical absorption spectroscopy.
The light sources are quantum cascade lasers, which are operated to produce
wavelength sweeps that cover the absorption lines of the gases.
The lasers are mounted in the leak detector, and light is directed into the sample cell,
where it is partially absorbed by the gas from the stack. The reflected light from the
cell is detected by a receiver in the leak detector. The variation in the intensity of the
light in the vicinity of the absorption lines is measured, and the concentration is
determined using a comprehensive spectral fitting routine.
