PREFACE

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.

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.

WARNING: STATIC ELECTRICITY

Circuit boards in this instrument are static-sensitive. Take all static precautions
when handling the circuit boards.

PREFACE

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 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: CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT

This equipment is for use in a controlled environment. Refer to the
specifications (page P7) in this manual for environmental conditions.

CAUTION: HOT OVEN COMPONENTS

The oven and sample manifold are controlled to 80
down before touching any of these components.

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 on page 2-5.

QUICK STARTUP PROCEDURE

The purpose of this reference guide is to provide a easy to follow, step by step procedure
through initial start up and ignition of the FID2 Analyzer Module. This procedure assumes
that the customer has already made all necessary electrical and gas connections and
established the proper network connections.

1. Turn on power to the instrument. The #1 LED (POWER) will illuminate. The #3 LED
(BLOCK) will begin flashin g.

2. If sample gas has been connected and the sample pressure to the analyzer is sufficient
to provide an accurate reading, the #4 LED (SAMPLE) will be illumninated.

3. Allow the analyzer module to warm up and the burner block temperature to reach the
proper minimum ignition temperature (50°C). When the burner block temperature
reaches the minimum ignition temperature, the #5 LED (IGNITE OK) will come on.

4. The instrument is now ready to be lit. Lighting the burner can be conducted in one of
two methods: a) manual ignition from the front panel of the Analyzer Module or b)
autoignite from the Platform.

OVERRIDE/IGNITE" switch (located to the left of the indicator lights) in the up
(FUEL OVERRIDE) position for 30 seconds. Immediately move the switch to the
down (IGNITE) position. The "IGNITE" mode is automatically set to stay on for a
preset time period and does not require the switch to be held down. If the lighting
procedure was successful, the #2 LED (FLA ME) will begin flashing as the flame
temperature rises to the correct operating temperature. Once this LED becomes
solidly lit, the flame has reached operating temperature.

the "light" softkey shown in the "Light Flame" menu of the Platform. The Analyzer
Module will begin to go through an automated sequence of enrichment and
ignition similar to the manual mode described in step 5. If the burner fails to light
on the first try, the Analyzer Module will perform 2 more tries before terminating
the autoignite sequence. If the Analyzer Module fails to light after 3 attempts, an
error message will be displayed sho wing the cause of the fault.

5. If the burner fails to light, check all gas connections for proper gas composition and
pressure, block temperature, and outlets for obstructions. Repeat step 4.

6. If the flame is lit, the #2 LED will begin flashing. Once the flame temperature has
reached the correct operating temperature, the LED will remain on solid.

7. If the fuel and air pressures and ratios are within proper operating parameters to
support a continuous flame operation, the # 6 LED (FUEL/AIR) will illuminate. This light
will not be on before or during flame ignition.

8. Once the burner block temperature reaches the control temperature of 80°C, the #3
LED will stay on solid.

9. If the instrument has been successfully lit, the temperatures are up to proper operating
levels, and the fuel, air, and sample gases are properly adjusted to support the flame
and achieve reliable results, all 6 indicator lights will be lit solid.

The unit is now ready for calibration or burner optimization.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 OVERVIEW

This manual describes the Flame Ionization Detector (FID2) Analyzer Module of Rosemount
Analytical's NGA 2000 Series of gas analysis components. See Figure 1-1.

The FID2 Analyzer Module is designed to use a flame ionization technique to measure the
total concentration of hydrocarbon (including certain oxygenated hydrocarbons)
components within the sample stream.

The entire FID2 Analyzer Module is designed as a module with electrical connections at its
front, and gas connections made from the rear. All electronics relative to sample control and
signal conditioning are included in this module.

INTRODUCTION

1.2 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Typical applications for the FID2 Analyzer Module include:
The monitoring of atmospheric air for low-level total hydrocarbon contaminants
Determining the total hydrocarbon content of exhaust emissions from internal combustion

engines
Carbon bed monitoring
Determining the total hydrocarbons content of process and product gases from air

separation plants

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.

INTRODUCTION

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.

INTRODUCTION

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).

1

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.

The FID2 is designed to use 40% H2/60% He 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.

1

The fuel restrictor is part of the Flow Control Manifold Assembly, which is specific to an application.

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.

2

There is a special platform specifically designed to accept this module; consult the factory
for details.

Install the Platform and I/O Module(s) according to guidelines in the Platform manual.

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, vibration-free
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.

Flame Ionization Detector 2 Analyzer Module

INSTALLATION

The cylinders of fuel, air, and calibration gases should be located in an area of relatively
constant ambient temperature .

2.4 G

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 2.4.2.

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 in the fuel or air lin es) 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.

ASES

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.

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 hydrocarb ons an d carbo n mo nox i de fro m ambie nt ai r.

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.

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 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).

STARTUP AND OPERATION

3.4 OPTIMIZATION PROCEDURE

Although the module has been set up for best operation at the factory, settings can change
and your application may be different. The following shows how to optimize the operation of
the FID2 for your application.

1. Ignite the flame of the FID2 using the startup procedure as above.

2. Verify that the mixed fuel supply pressure at the Analyzer’s rear panel bulkhead is
between 49 and 50 psig.

3. Allow the Analyzer module response to stabilize. Typically allow 1 to 4 hours.

4. Select the desired range to optimize. For best results use a span gas with a
concentration of 100 ppm CH4 or greater. This will minimize the effects of the THC
contamination in the fuel and burner air supply.

5. Set the internal sample pressure to the desired operating level. The sample pressure
must be kept constant throughout the optimization procedure.

6. Set the internal burner air pressure to between 965 to 1103 hPa-gauge (14 to 16 psig).
The burner air pressure must be kept constant throughout the optimization procedure.

7. Set the internal fuel pressure to 345 hPa-gauge (5 psig). Calibrate the instrument as
stated below.

8. Introduce the span gas and monitor the reading until it is stable. Increase the internal
fuel supply setting in the following sequence: 600 hPa-gauge (8.7 psig), 625 hPa-gauge
(9.1 psig), 650 hPa-gauge (9.4 psig), 675 hPa-gauge (9.8 psig), 700 hPa-gauge (10.1
psig), and 725 hPa-gauge (10.5 psig). Monitor the reading at each fuel pressure
setting. Wait at least 2 minutes between fuel setting changes. Record all the readings.

9. Review the readings for each fuel pressure setting. Select the fuel pressure setting that
produces a reading that is within 1% from the maximum. For this condition the FID2 is
operating at its optimized plateau.

STARTUP AND OPERATION

3.7 CALIBRATION DETAILS

The range change resistor in the preamp has some effect on the way the spans work. In
most NGA analyzers it is possible to make them zero and span all ranges together or
separately. If this option is selected, the analyzer attempts to determine if a zero or span is
appropriate using the supplied zero and span gases, and if the gases are suitable it will go
ahead and zero or span as many ranges as it can. The FID2 however may switch gains
between ranges, and if so it will not be able to zero or span the ranges on the other side of
the switching point.

The switching point is determined by a number of factors, including the gas response factor,
the sample pressure, the type of fuel and the capillary used. In general it will occur at about
600ppm of methane on a low range instrument. This means that if the ranges are set at 10,
100, 1000, 5000, the analyzer will be able to span the lower two, or the higher two at once,
but not all four.

Generally, it is best to operate the analyzer on a single range and calibrate that, or to
calibrate the ranges individually.

If the user is unable to calibrate the Analyzer Module (i.e., when ZERO or SPAN is initiated,
nothing happens), several possible solutions may be tried. One solution relates to the use of
an incorrect gas for zeroing or spanning (e.g., using a high concentration gas to zero or a
zero gas to span the Analyzer Module). Simply recalibrating with the appropriate gas(es)
may not correct the problem because the ZERO OFFSET or SPAN FACTOR has been set
to an extreme value in the process.

To remedy the problem, do the following:

1. Verify that correct zero and span calibration gases are being used properly. If so,
attempt to recalibrate according to instructions at the beginning of the previous section,
ensuring that case temperature and displayed measurement reading are stable before
initiating the calibration routine. If incorrect gases were used in the initial, failed
calibration, skip to Step 2.

2. Make the following selections from the Main Menu: Expert Controls and Setup, Analyzer

Module Setup, then Calibration Parameters. Disable Calibration Adjustment Limits.

3. Recalibrate the analyzer module according to instructions at the beginning of the
previous section, ensuring that case temperature and displayed measurement reading
are stable before initiating the calibration routine.

4. Enable Calibration Adjustment Limits in the Calibration Parameters menu.

For further information and troubleshooting tips, refer to the NGA Reference Manual.

STARTUP AND OPERATION

3.8 ROUTINE OPERATION

After binding and calibration, proceed as follows:
Supply sample gas to the SAMPLE INLET. Adjust external flow controller or throttle valve so

that flow discharged from the BYPASS outlet is between 0.5 and 1.0 L/min. The reading on
the SAMPLE pressure gauge should be the same as that used during adjustment of the
span control. Adjust, if necessary.

Adjust the Range Number setting.
If maximum sensitivity is required from the FID2 Analyzer Module, use an optimum

combination of settings on the SAMPLE, FUEL, and AIR pressure controllers. Settings must
be determined experimentally, but the curves in Figures 3-7, 3-8 and 3-9 may be used as
guides for the FID2 optimization procedure above.

The Analyzer Module will not allow the user to increase the upper limit of a range beyond
the "maximum range" software setting. To change the "maximum range" value, select the
following from the Main Menu: Technical Configuration Menu, Service Menus,

Manufacturing Data, and Analyzer Manufacturing Data. Select Minimum/maximum ranges
and tags… and then Maximum Range, and use the arrow keys to scroll the indicated values
for each applicable measurement. The same applies for Minimum Range settings.

During shutdown, always turn off fuel gas first, then the air and sample gases. The flame
can also be turned off by setting Ignition System Enable to "Off" in the Light Flame menu
(under Basic Controls). Subsequently, remember to set Ignition System Enable to "On"
before attempting to ignite the flame.

After initial startup, or startup following a prolonged shutdown, the Analyzer Module requires
about one day's continuous operation to stabilize. For several days afterwards, calibrate

daily. The frequency of subsequent calibrations can be reduced as experience dictates,
consistent with the accuracy requirements of the particular application.

3.9 S

If the FID2 is to be left in the powered down state for any length of time greater than a few
hours, it is important that the flame tower be dried out before it cools off. This is to avoid
condensation causing corrosion. If the sample contains halogenated compounds this is
even more important.

Flush the flame tower with burner air for around an hour after the flame has been turned off.
Simply leave the burner air flowing. When no evidence of condensation can be seen in the
exhaust tubing, it is safe to switch off the FID2 power.

If this precaution is not taken, corrosion can occur making it hard or impossible to light the
flame.

HUT DOWN PROCEDURE

3.10 SAFETY SYSTEM

The FID2 Analyzer Module safety system is entirely passive. The pneumatic section of the
analyzer is designed to be intrinsically safe, except for the flame tower itself which is
designed to be explosion proof. Intrinsic safety design ensures that any energy released in
the hazardous area (the pneumatic section) will not be enough to ignite any hydrogen that
may have leaked. This is achieved by limiting the voltage and the current in all the circuitry
that enters this area. It is therefore essential that NO modifications are done to the
circuit boards. Any repairs should be performed at the factory where the correct
components will be used.

The flame tower is designed to be explosion proof. This is achieved by careful control of the
spacing and clearances of the assembly, and the presence of the various flow restrictive
devices and the outlet flame arrestor. It is essential that no changes be made to this

device that can impact any of these clearances, and thus that any repairs of the
device are such as to maintain its designed clearances. It is recommended that any

repairs of the flame tower be performed in the factory or at other authorized Rosemount
service centers.

A temperature safety system activates when the burner flame temperature exceeds
225

°°°°

C for over 60 seconds. This will shut off the fuel and d isplay a messa ge on the light

flame menu screen. After cooling to below 225°C, the unit can be re-ignited normally.

APPENDIX A. GAS SAFETY FEATURES

A.1 GAS SAFETY FEATURES

The NGA 2000 Flame Ionization Detector Analysis Module is designed to meet international
safety standards in accordance with IEC 1010 and other related documents. The gas
handling part of the module is designed to be intrinsically safe, other than the flame tower
which is explosion proof (Ex"i" and Ex"d" respectively)

The standard module is only equipped to analyze a non-flammable sample, below 100% of
the lower flammable limit.

WARNING: POSSIBLE EXPLOSION HAZARD

Protection against explosion depends upon a special fuel flow limiting restrictor

C.1 INSTRUCTIONS

This section provides a means of rapidly finding any desired function or configuration factor
in the menu system.

The NGA menu system is necessarily complex due to the wide variety of configuration
possibilities available with the NGA architecture.

This section consists of a series of titles describing the function or configuration desired,
with a series of menu titles that show the path taken to that function.

The menu selections are sometimes abbreviated; Basic Controls is referred to as Basic for
example, Expert controls and set up as Expert, and Technical level configuration as
Technical.

Each analyzer is configured per the customer sales order. Below is the FID2 sales matrix
which lists the various configurations available.

To identify the configuration of an analyzer, locate analyzer name-rating plate. The FID2
has two (identical) name-rating plates, one located on the rear of the front panel (inside the
analyzer), and the second located on the front-right-side of the analyzer cover (viewing
analyzer from front panel). T he 12-position sales matrix identifier number appears on the
analyzer name-rating plate.
