URPOSE/SAFETY SUMMARY
The purpose of this manual is to provide information concerning the components,
functions, installation and maintenance of this particular NGA 2000 module.
Some sections may describe equipment not used in your configuration. The user
should become thoroughly familiar with the operation of this module before operating
it. Read this instruction manual completely.
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 this
equipment should be thoroughly familiar with and strictly follow the instructions
in this manual. Save these instructions.
If this equipment is used in a manner not specified in these instructions,
protective systems may be impaired.
DANGER

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
continuous dilution purge system is factory-installed (in accordance with
Standard ANSI/NFPA 496-1993, Chapter 6, and it must be functional at all times
during operation. DO NOT DISABLE THIS PURGE SYSTEM.
WARNING: FLAMMABLE SAMPLES
Consult the factory if flammable samples will be measured.
WARNING: PARTS INTEGRITY
Tampering with or unauthorized substitution of components may adversely
affect safety of this product. Use only factory-approved components for repair.
WARNING: POSSIBLE EXPLOSION HAZARD
Ensure that all gas connections are made as labeled and are leak free. Improper
gas connections could result in explosion and death.
CAUTION: PRESSURIZED GAS
This module requires calibration with a known standard gas. See General
Precautions for Handling and Storing High Pressure Gas Cylinders at the rear of
this manual.
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: HAND INJURY HAZARD
Dropping the front panel of the Platform while hand or fingers are inside either
case handle can cause serious injury.
CAUTION: PURGE AIR REQUIREMENT
This Analyzer Module must be used in conjunction with a device (Platform or PC
Interface) that can actively monitor network variables related to pressure or flow
of the continuous dilution purge, or the front panel LEDs of the Analyzer
Module, as installed, must be visible. The purpose of this requirement is to
maintain adherence to ANSI/NFPA 496 standard which assures the continued
viability of the purge system. Under no circumstances should any pressure or
flow indicator be connected to the PURGE AIR OUT outlet of the Analyzer
Module because this may affect the sealing performance of the module.
CAUTION: OVER-VOLTAGE SPIKING
If this Analyzer Module is used with a non-Rosemount Analytical power supply,
adding Rosemount P/N 903341 Current Protector in series with the 24 V positive
power line will prevent over-voltage spiking and resultant fuse blowing when
powering up the instrument.
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 2.4.4.

1.1 OVERVIEW
This manual describes the Flame Ionization Detector (FID) Analyzer Module of
Rosemount Analytical's NGA 2000 Series of gas analysis components. See Figures
1-1 and 1-2.
The FID Analyzer Module is designed to continuously determine the concentration of
hydrocarbons in a flowing gaseous mixture. The concentration is expressed in
parts-per-million or percent of volume.
The entire FID Analyzer Module is designed as a slide-in module (if configured in
stand-alone instrument fashion), removable from the front of the Platform, with gas
connections made from the rear. All electronics relative to sample detection and
conditioning are included in this module.
1.2 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
The monitoring of atmospheric air for low-level hydrocarbon contaminants and
determining the hydrocarbon content of exhaust emissions from internal combustion
engines are examples of typical applications for the FID Analyzer Module.
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 sample
gas passes through a flame sustained by
regulated flows of a fuel gas (hydrogen or 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. This measure of concentration is placed on the network, where it is can be
shown on the Platform Display or on other data acquisition devices.
