Management (Rosemount Analytical) representative for clarification.
• Follow all warnings, cautions, and instructions marked on and supplied with the product.
• Inform and educate your personnel in the proper installation, operation, and
maintenance of the product.
• Install your equipment as specified in the Installation Instructions of the appropriate
Instruction Manual and per applicable local and national codes. Connect all products
to the proper electrical and pressure sources.
• T o ensure proper performance, use qualified personnel to install, operate, update, program,
and maintain the product.
• When replacement parts are required, ensure that qualified people use replacement parts
specified by Emerson Process Management (Rosemount Analytical). Unauthorized parts
and procedures can affect the product’s performance, place the safe operation of your
process at risk, and VOID YOUR W ARRANTY. Look-alike substitutions may result in fire,
electrical hazards, or improper operation.

This software handbook describes the individual steps for successfully operating the FID
analyzer module and FID analyzer (analyzer module in a platform) from the Emerson Process
Management NGA 2000 series.
⇒ Chapter 2 contains an overview of the FID software menu structure.
⇒ Chapter 3 introduces the user interface (display and keys) and the main menu with its
submenus.
⇒Chapter 4 describes the basic functions (measurement and calibration) in detail and step
by step.
⇒Chapter 5 describes the expert level for the configuration of the module and any I/O
modules.
⇒ Chapter 6 describes the system configuration and diagnostics.
⇒ Chapter 7 contains information about the display controls.
Not all the contents of chapter 5 are relevant to all users. Which sub-chapters are relevant
depends on the configuration of the NGA 2000 system with regard to the following components:
Control module CM
Analyzer module AM
Input/Output-Modules I/O (SIO = Standard Input/Output;
DIO = Digital Input/Output)
Network I/O-Modules Analogue output with 3 alarms I/O;
Auto-Calibration I/O (“Autocal”);
System Auto-Calibration I/O (“Syscal”)
The following table gives the possible SIO/DIO configurations:
System unit SIO/DIO Configuration Chapter
FID analyzer module (AM)
No front panel, i.e. no control unit.
Can be combined with a platform, an MLT
analyzer, a TFID analyzer or a customerspecific control unit.
Platform (CM Software)
Control unit with front panel.
No measurement channels.
1 local SIO and 1 local DIO (or 2 local DIOs)
can be built into an MLT AM or a TFID AM
only.
SIO and DIO in the AM can only be
configured for the MLT/TFID channel.
No local FID I/Os
1 SIO and up to 4 DIOs can be built into the
platform.
SIO and DIO can be configured for all AMs
connected to the platform, e.g. for the FID.
System I/Os

NGA 2000 system with TFID analyzer and FID analyzer module
Introduction: 1
This manual concerns all FID analyzer modules combined with a platform, an MLT
analyzer or a TFID analyzer. This manual is also relevant for the CAT 200, which
consists of an MLT 1 in an EExd housing which is operated via a touch-screen front
panel or a magnetically operated front panel. There is a separate manual for the
CAT 200 which includes all CAT-related issues.
FID analyzer modules operated via a customer-specific control unit are not described
in this manual.
Network I/O modules have their own manuals which should be consulted for further
detail. In this manual, these I/O modules are only very briefly described.
Further questions should be directed to our Service Support Center.
On being powered up, the FID analyzer module (whether on a platform or as part of an NGA
network) runs through the initializing phase. This also includes a self-test of the analyzer(s) or
analyzer module(s). The LCD screen displays the company name and software version number
as well as a series of messages which indicate the status of the initialization cycle. Finally the
single component display of the FID is displayed, which serves as a starting point from which
the main menu, the analyzer module status menu and, if appropriate, the multi-channel display
of the analyzer network can be accessed.

The functions of the individual keys and the operation of the unit depend on:
the configuration of the analyzer or analyzer module
the optional modules (e.g. I/O modules) installed
the menu currently displayed.
If the power supply is interrupted, all user-specific module parameters are saved in a batteryoperated buffer.

In this menu the status of the FID analyzer module can be checked. Pressing F3 (“MORE”)
accesses a second page; press F2 (“ESCAPE”), F4 (“MORE”) or the ← -key to return to the first
page. Pressing the Enter key with the “Status details” line selected accesses further submenus
listing error messages and many other details.
These menus are informative only. None of the settings here can be changed; this can only be
done via the “Basic controls”, “Analyzer module setup” and “Analyzer module controls” menus
(chapters 4, 5.1 and 5.2 respectively).
Pressing F3 or the → -key in the single component display accesses the main menu. From this
menu all levels of the FID analyzer or analyzer module can be accessed allowing measurement,
calibration and data transfer parameters to be set.

The basic settings are fully explained and illustrated step by step. The two-column layout shows
the user interface of the NGA front panel on the left. This enables the user to follow each step
and compare the illustrations with the analyzer display screen. On the right, each step is briefly
described. Each sub-chapter begins and ends with a single component display. The keys to be
pressed for each step are highlighted in black.
Note: If there are no other
channels connected to the
FID, only the bargraph of the
FID itself will be displayed. A
change of channels will then
not be possible.
