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 .

See General Precautions for Handling and
Storing High Pressure Gas Cylinders, page

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 CalibrationGases 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.

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
4.3
[110]
8.2
[208]
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.

Method
Close the outlet shut-off valve and notice
that the flow reading drops to zero. If the
flow reading does not drop to zero, the
system is leaking and must be corrected
before the introduction of sample gas or
the application of power.

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.
