SAFETY SUMMARY

If this equipment is used in a manner not specified in these instructions, protective systems may be impaired.

AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL

To avoid explosion, loss of life, personal injury and damage to this equipment and on-site property, all personnel authorized to install, operate and service the this equipment should be thoroughly familiar with and strictly follow the instructions in this manual. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
DANGER.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Do not operate without doors and covers secure. Servicing requires access to live parts which can cause death or serious injury. Refer servicing to qualified personnel. For safety and proper per­formance this instrument must be connected to a properly grounded three-wire source of power.
WARNING .
POSSIBLE EXPLOSION HAZARD
This equipment is used in the analysis of sample gases which may be flammable, and the burner fuel used in the ionization process IS flammable. A system of intrinsically safe electronics and an explosion proof tower are used to prevent any ignition of a flammable gas leak. For this to be effec­tive, the module MUST be placed in a well-ventilated area, with unobstructed air flow around it.
DO NOT place it within another enclosure without assuring this ventilation.
DO NOT obstruct the vent holes on the top and sides of the module.
DO NOT place the FID module within another enclosure unless the latter has a guaranteed air cir­culation such as to dilute a worst case fuel or sample leak below 25% of the LEL. Doing so will ne­gate the safety features and may result in an explosion, serious injury, property damage and death.
WARNING .
FLAMMABLE SAMPLES
Consult the factory if flammable samples will be measured.
P-2 Preface Rosemount Analytical Inc. A Division of Emerson Process Management
Model NGA2000 FID2
Tampering or unauthorized substitution of components may adversely affect safety of this product. Use only factory documented components for repair.
Do not place hands or fingers in the Platform front handles when front panel is open. Dropping the front panel of the Platform while hand or fingers are inside either handle can cause serious injury.
Ensure that all gas connections are made as labeled and are leak free. Improper gas connections could result in explosion or death.

HAND INJURY HAZARD
WARNING.
POSSIBLE EXPLOSION HAZARD
WARNING.
POSSIBLE EXPLOSION HAZARD
Protection against explosion depends upon a special fuel flow restrictor in the fuel inlet fitting. DO NOT REMOVE THE FUEL INLET RESTRICTOR. Use the correct fuel flow restrictor for the fuel being used. Do not use 100% hydrogen fuel in a 40% H2/60% He configured FID module. Replace with factory supplied fitting only.
CAUTION .
PRESSURIZED GAS
This module requires periodic use of pressurized gas. See General Precautions for Handling and Storing High Pressure Gas Cylinders, page P-5.
CAUTION .
OVERBALANCE HAZARD
This analyzer module may tip instrument over if it is pulled out too far and the Platform is not prop­erly supported.

CAUTION.
CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT
This equipment is for use in a controlled environment. Refer to Section 1-6 Specifications (page 1-
7) in this manual for environmental conditions.
CAUTION.
HOT OVEN COMPONENTS
The oven and sample manifold are controlled to 80°C. Allow the analyzer to cool down before touching any of these components.
CAUTION.
OVER-VOLTAGE SPIKING
If this analyzer module is used with a non-Rosemount Analytical power supply, adding Rosemount Analytical PN 903341 Current Protector in series with the 24V positive power line will prevent over­voltage spiking and resultant fuse blowing when powering up the instrument.
Model NGA2000 FID2
CAUTION .
STATIC ELECTRICITY
Circuit boards in this instrument are static-sensitive. Take all static precautions when handling the circuit boards
NOTE
This Analyzer Module is completely leak-tested at the factory for gas leakage. The user is responsi­ble for testing for leakage at the inlet and outlet fittings on the rear panel (with a test procedure chosen by the user). The user is also responsible for leak-testing periodically and if any internal pneumatic components are adjusted or replaced. See leak test instructions in Section 2-6 on page 2-6.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING AND STORING HIGH
PRESSURE GAS CYLINDERS
Edited from selected paragraphs of the Compressed Gas Association's "Handbook of Compressed Gases" published in 1981
Compressed Gas Association 1235 Jefferson Davis Highway Arlington, Virginia 22202
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 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.

1-3 THEORY OF TECHNOLOGY

This Analyzer Module uses the flame ionization method of detection. The sensor is a burner in which a regulated flow of gas sample passes through a flame sustained by regulated flows of a fuel gas (a hydrogen/diluent mixture) and air.
Within the flame, the hydrocarbon components of the sample stream undergo a complex ionization that produces electrons and positive ions. Polarized electrodes collect these ions, causing current to flow through an electronic measuring circuit.
The ionization current is proportional to the rate at which carbon atoms enter the burner, and is therefore a measure of the concentration of hydrocarbons in the sample.
The gas pressures are continuously monitored and controlled through electronic pressure transducers.
The measurement of concentration is placed on the network, where it can be shown on the Platform Display or on other data acquisition devices.

1-4 GAS SAFETY FEATURES

The FID2 module is divided into two parts - a pneumatic section and an electronic section. The two sections are separated by a pair of solid partitions to prevent any leak of gas in the pneumatic section from reaching the electronics. The electrical connections into the pneumatic section are made intrinsically safe by a series of over-voltage protection devices and current limiting resistors. The burner itself is an explosion-proof assembly. The combination of these two techniques allows the analyzer to meet international safety standards without the use of an expensive continuous-dilution purge - but ONLY when it is installed in a general purpose area with good air circulation.
WARNING
POSSIBLE EXPLOSION HAZARD
Hydrocarbon concentration(s) in the sam­ple gas must be below the Lower Explo­sion Limit (LEL).
The FID2 is designed to use 40% H fuel at a maximum inlet pressure of 3446 hPa­gauge (50 psig).
1
WARNING
POSSIBLE EXPLOSION HAZARD
Protection against explosion depends upon a special fuel flow restrictor at the fuel inlet. DO NOT REMOVE THE FUEL IN­LET RESTRICTOR.

1-5 FUEL GAS OPTION

The standard FID2 Analyzer Module requires 40% hydrogen/60% helium burner fuel gas.
For monitoring internal combustion exhaust emissions or other sample gas with varying oxygen content, mixed fuel is preferable. In fact, a hydrogen/helium mixture is more desirable than a hydrogen/nitrogen mixture. With this type of sample, the use of mixed fuel gas minimizes the error introduced by oxygen synergism.
/60% He
2
All tubing ahead of the burner is rigid metallic tubing assembled with ferrule/nut type compression fittings. However, should an internal fuel leak occur, a worst-case leak would be dissipated below 25% of the LEL of hydrogen by natural dilution outside of the pneumatic section before it could be ignited by any external ignition source, and there is nothing within the pneumatic section to ignite it.
Changes in the burner air flow rate have little effect on signal strength. For a given flow, the signal can be optimized by adjusting the fuel flow rate.

INSTALLATION

2-1 UNPACKING

When the FID2 Analyzer Module is received, carefully examine the shipping carton and contents for signs of damage. Immediately notify the shipping carrier if the carton or contents is damaged. Retain the carton and packing material until all components associated with the Analyzer Module are operational.

2-2 ASSEMBLY

The FID2 analyzer module MUST NOT be placed within a conventional NGA platform, single module enclosure or dual module enclosure since the latter would not allow free flow of air around the module, thus violating its safety certification. The enclosure is designed so that this would be very hard to do anyway.
There is a special platform specifically designed to accept this module; consult the factory for details.

2-3 LOCATION

WARNING.
POSSIBLE EXPLOSION HAZARD
Do not place the FID2 module within an­other enclosure unless the latter has a guaranteed air circulation such as to dilute a worst case fuel or sample leak below 25% of the LEL. Failure to will negate the safety features and may result in explo­sion, serious injury, material damage and death. Also, do not cover the vent holes on the top and sides of the module.
Install the Analyzer Module in a clean, weather-proofed, non-hazardous, vibration­free location free from extreme temperature variations. For best results, install the Analyzer Module near the sample stream to minimize sample transport time.
Operating ambient temperature is 5 °C to 40 °C, limited to temperature changes of less than 10 °C/hr. Acceptable dew point range is less than 95% relative humidity, but not in excess of 40°C wet bulb temperature.
The cylinders of fuel, air, and calibration gases should be located in an area of relatively constant ambient temperature.
CAUTION .
PRESSURIZED GAS

2-4 GASES

a. Overview

During normal operation, the Analyzer Module requires fuel and air to maintain the burner flame as well as suitable standard gases for. Refer to the criteria for selection of these gases in Section 2­4c on page 2-2.
After initial startup or after startup following a prolonged shutdown, the analyzer may display baseline drift for a considerable period of time, particularly on the most sensitive range.
Commonly, the drift is caused by small amounts of organics (such as hydrocarbons) in the inner walls of the tubing in both the internal flow system and the external gas supply system. Drift results from any factor influencing the equilibrium of these adsorbed hydrocarbons, such as temperature or pressure. Hydrocarbons adsorbed within the analyzer in the gas passageways (or
Rosemount Analytical Inc. A Division of Emerson Process Management Installation 2-1
Instruction Manual
760002-A July 2002
Model NGA2000 FID2
in the fuel or air lines) will elevate the overall baseline.
Note that this type of drift occurs only when the flame is burning. If drift occurs when the flame is extinguished, the electronic circuitry is at fault or the burner or cabling is contaminated with a conductive film. To minimize drift, use clean fuel and air, keep the analyzer clean, and locate the gas cylinders in an area of relatively constant ambient temperature.
The cylinders supplying all gases each should be equipped with a clean, hydrocarbon-free, two-stage regulator and a shutoff valve.
All new external gas tubing (except for SAMPLE BYPASS) is strongly recommended, preferably pre-cleaned, stainless steel, gas chromatograph-grade tubing. Thoroughly clean before use (if a hydrocarbon-based cleaning solvent such as acetone is used, purge tubing with dry nitrogen or helium for several minutes before using.)
Gas line connections are compression fittings. Do not use pipe thread tape on such fittings.
Since the oxidation of hydrogen is accompanied by the formation of water vapor, the exhaust tubing always should be slanted downward at least 6 degrees from horizontal. Otherwise, water may accumulate in the line, causing back pressure and noisy readings, or may back up in the line and flood the burner.
If the sample is toxic or noxious, or is to be reclaimed, connect the Bypass outlet to a suitable disposal system. Do not use any device that may cause back pressure in the line.
to appropriately labeled fittings on the rear panel. All connections are 1/4-inch ferrule-type compression fittings. Burner exhaust and bypass must be vented at atmospheric pressure to a non-classified location in accordance with ANSI/NFPA-
496.

c. Gas Specifications

Fuel Gas — Standard analysis usually requires mixed fuel, i.e., 40% (±2 %) hydrogen and 60% helium. H fuel is recommended over H because of better linearity in concentration output. Such blends are supplied by many gas vendors specifically for this use, with a guaranteed maximum total hydrocarbon content of 0.5 ppm, measured as methane. This specification should be used when obtaining these mixtures.
Burner Air — In order to ensure a low background signal, hydrocarbon free grade air with less than 1 ppm maximum total hydrocarbon content is highly recommended. An alternative source for burner air and zero gas (see Calibration Gases below) is a combination diaphragm pump and heated palladium catalyst. This process continuously removes moderate amounts of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide from ambient air.
Calibration Gases — Calibration method and gases depends on the type of fuel gas used, the operating range, and the desired measurement accuracy. In all methods, zero and span gases are used, and are introduced through the sample inlet at the rear of the module.
Zero Gas It is recommended that the gas should have a composition as close to the background composition of the sample as possible.

Span Gas Span gas consists of a specified concentration of methane and other hydrocarbons in a background gas such as nitrogen.
Model NGA2000 FID2
Instruction Manual
760002-A July 2002
Sample Gas — Sample gas must be nonflammable (below 100% of the sample's LEL).
Flow Rate — The sample flow rate must be between 0.5 L/min. and 2 L/min.
Pressure/Filtration — See Table 2-1 on page 2-4 for input pressure specifications. Noncompliance with these specifications could cause over-pressure damage to the module.
All internal pressure settings are preset at the factory, but the operator should check for accuracy. It is essential that the

sample be filtered for particulates down to 0.1 microns. A suitable filter is
the Balston type 95S6 with 0.1 micron filter element. It should normally be replaced on a two week schedule, depending on the sample.
Leak Test — The Analyzer Module is completely tested at the factory for gas leakage. The user is responsible for testing for leakage at the inlet and outlet fittings on the rear panel. The user is also responsible for internal leak testing periodically and if any internal pneumatic components are adjusted or replaced (with a test procedure chosen by the user).

2-5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

NOTE
Electrical installation must be in compli­ance with National Electrical Code (NEC/NFPA 70) and/or any state or local codes.
Two electrical connections are required on the Analyzer Module: POWER and NETWORK. See Figure 2-3 below. On the Analyzer Module, two NETWORK connectors are available, either of which is appropriate for: 1) interconnection with the Back plane of the Platform or 2) "daisy-chaining" with other NGA 2000 components, or 3) connection to a PC
via a suitable LONTALK adapter and software such as the NGA DDE server and client. Connect Analyzer Module POWER to Back plane POWER or external 24 VDC power source.
Connect the network cable to either the NETWORK 1 or NETWORK 2 connection on the Analyzer Module front panel, and the NETWORK connection on the LON I/O module if used with a Platform, or directly to a computer using appropriate LONTALK adapter hardware and software such as the NGA DDE server. Connect the power cable to both the Analyzer Module front panel and to a 24V 5A minimum power supply.

2-6 ANALYTICAL LEAK CHECK

The FID2 Analyzer Module is completely tested at the factory for gas leakage. The user is responsible for testing for leakage only at the inlet and outlet fittings on the rear panel.
CAUTION
SENSOR PRESSURE
Do not expose the Sensor to pressure in excess of 1.0 psig as this may cause dam­age.

a. Flow Indicator Method

Supply air or inert gas such as nitrogen, at 1 psig (6.8 hPa), to the analyzer through a flow indicator with a range of 0 to 250 cc/min. Install a shut-off valve at the sample gas outlet. Set the flow rate to 125 cc/min.

b. Manometer Method

Install a water-filled U-tube manometer at the sample gas outlet. Install a shut-off valve at the sample gas inlet. Admit air or inert gas to the inlet shut-off valve until the analyzer is pressurized to approximately 50 hPa. The water column will be about 500 mm.

Figure 2-5. Leak Test - Manometer Method
Close the inlet shut-off valve and, following a brief period for pressure equilibrium, verify that the height of the water column does not drop over a period of about 5 minutes. If the water column height drops, the system is leaking and must be corrected before the introduction of any flammable sample gas or application of power.

c. Troubleshooting Leaks

Liberally cover all fittings, seals, and other possible sources of leakage with a suitable leak test liquid such as SNOOP (part 837801). Bubbling or foaming indicates leakage. Checking for bubbles will locate most leaks but could miss some, as some areas are inaccessible to the application of SNOOP. For positive assurance that system is leak free, perform one of the tests in Section 2-6 above.
