DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
1-1 OVERVIEW
Instruction Manual
760001-A
October 2002
SECTION 1
This manual describes the Flame Ionization
Detector (FID) Analyzer Module of Rosemount Analytical's NGA2000 Series of gas
analysis components. See Figure 1-1 below
and Figure 1-2 on page 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.

1-4 GAS SAFETY FEATURES
The FID Analyzer Module is designed with a
factory installed continuous dilution purge system in accordance with standard ANSI/NFPA
496 - 1993, Chapter 6. Front-panel LEDs indicate that the burner flame is lit and that the
purge system is enabled. In addition, fuel gas
is automatically shut off when a flame-out
condition occurs or the safety system is disabled.
The purge system is enabled only if there is
proper purge gas flow in, purge gas pressure,
and internal case pressure, and after five
times the case volume has been exchanged.
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
through the combination of an inlet fuel flow
restrictor and purge gas flow.
This module is designed to use 100% hydrogen fuel or 40% H
mum inlet pressure of 3446 hPa-gauge (50
psig). A different flow restrictor is used for
each fuel type.
A standard FID Analyzer Module is only
equipped to analyze a non-flammable sample,
below 100% of the LEL.
POSSIBLE EXPLOSION HAZARD
Protection against explosion depends
upon a special fuel flow restrictor in the
fuel inlet fitting. Do not remove 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 Analyzer Module. Replace only
with factory supplied fitting.

equipped to use 100% hydrogen fuel. The
particular application and characteristics of
the sample gas to be measured will dictate
the preferred type of fuel. The following guidelines can be used for determining fuel gas
type:
1. For measuring low-level hydrocarbons in
ambient air or in other sample gas with
relatively constant oxygen content, 100%
hydrogen is preferable. It provides the
highest obtainable sensitivity and maximum stability. Zero drift caused by ambient temperature variations of the fuel
cylinder is somewhat lower for 100%
hydrogen than for mixed fuel. (With either
fuel, it is desirable to maintain a constant
cylinder temperature.)
2. 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.
An effective way to reduce the effect of internal oxygen is to dilute it with an inert gas. This
can be accomplished with a constant dilution
of sample and calibration gases upstream
from the burner. But it is simpler and more accurate to provide that diluent in the form of
premixed fuel. Both nitrogen and helium have
been used as a diluent, but helium has proven
to be most effective in improving the quality of
response to the various species of hydrocarbons.
As indicated earlier the flame output signal is
optimum when the ratio of hydrogen flow to
inert flow is about 40/60. Therefore, this is the
chosen composition for hydrogen/helium premixed fuel.
The sample flow is kept low to maximize the

dilution effect while still providing adequate
sensitivity. The burner air flow is normally
about four times the fuel flow, and changes
have little effect on signal strength. For a

760001-A

given flow, the signal can be optimized by adjusting the fuel flow rate.
Typical flow rates with premixed fuel:
Model NGA2000 FID
with the latter. However, in any application
where the sample contains more than one
species of hydrogen and/or a varying concentration of oxygen, mixed fuel is preferred.
Fuel 100 cc/min
Sample 7 cc/min
Air 400 cc/min
Note that with a 40/60 premixed fuel, the
above flow rates amount to 40 cc (8%) hydrogen, 67 cc (13%) inert plus sample and 400
cc (79%) air, which compare closely to the 30
cc (8%) hydrogen, 45 cc (12%) inert/sample
and 300 cc (80%) air noted earlier for straight
hydrogen fuel.
Since sample flow in the case of mixed fuel
operation is only about 1/6 of that with straight
hydrogen fuel, higher sensitivity is obtained

Table 1-1. Analyzer Characteristics Relative to Fuel Gas
The mixed fuel is recommended, not only for
sample containing variable concentrations of
oxygen, but also for a specific pure gas application. If straight oxygen samples are used
with straight hydrogen fuel, the mixture entering the burner is essentially 40% H
which tends to produce an unstable signal.
The mixed fuel works better. Note that the
choice of fuel determines certain analyzer
characteristics, as shown in Table 1-1 below.

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 calibration and instrument
air for purge requirements. Criteria for selection of these gases follow in 2-4c on
page 2-5.
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 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 absorbed hydrocarbons, such as
temperature or pressure.
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. 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
PURGE IN/OUT and SAMPLE BYPASS) is
strongly recommended, preferably precleaned, stain-less 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.
Instruction Manual
760001-A
October 2002
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.
Purge air and burner air should be supplied from separate sources.
b. Connections
Reference Figure 2-2 on page 2-2. Connect inlet and outlet lines for sample,
burner fuel and air, exhaust, bypass, and
purge to appropriately labeled fittings on
the rear panel. All connections are 1/4
inch ferrule type compression fittings except the PURGE AIR IN and OUT connections, which are 3/8 inch compression
fittings. The BURNER EXHAUST OUT is
a 1/2 inch connection. Burner exhaust,
bypass and purge air out must be vented
at atmospheric pressure to a nonclassified location in accordance with
ANSI/NFPA-496.
It is recommended that no connection be
made to the PURGE AIR OUT port. If,
however, the analyzer's location requires
interconnection with a venting system, the
3/8" O.D. line should be kept as short as
possible, and no longer than four feet.
CAUTION
POSSIBLE INSTRUMENT DAMAGE
No connection should be made to the
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE fitting. Doing
so may cause damage to the instrument.
Gas line connections are compression fittings. Do not use pipe thread tape.

c. Specifications
Fuel Gas
Standard analysis usually requires mixed
fuel, i.e., 40% (±2%) hydrogen and 60%
helium. H2/He mixed fuel is recommended over H2/N2 fuel 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.
NOTE
The fuel restrictor is marked with a red
dot, and the sample capillary is marked
with a red or green dot for mixed fuel
applications.
Some applications require the use of
100% hydrogen fuel. When using this
option, always ensure that sample
pressure (4 to 5 psig) is present when
fuel flow is present. Otherwise, the detector tip may be damaged.
The fuel restrictor and sample capillary
are marked with a white dot for 100%
hydrogen fuel applications.
Burner Air
In order to ensure a low background signal, burner air should contain less than 1
ppm maximum total hydrocarbon content.
An alternate 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.
Purge Air
Instrument quality air, nitrogen, or other
nonflammable gas is required for the
safety purge system.
Instruction Manual
760001-A
October 2002
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.
Z
ERO GAS - Analysis is affected by the
background gas of the sample. Therefore,
it is recommended to use zero gas with as
close to the background composition of
the sample as possible. Normally less
than 0.5 THC as CH
If the burner fuel is 100% hydrogen, the
zero gas, background gas of the sample
or background gas of the span gas cannot
be hydrogen or oxygen. These gases
combined with pure hydrogen fuel would
generate excessive heat in the burner,
causing deterioration of the internal components of the burner.
S
PAN GAS - Span gas consists of a speci-
fied concentration of methane or other
hydrocarbon in a background gas such as
nitrogen. Analysis is affected by the
background gas of the sample. Therefore, span gas containing the same
background gas as the sample is recommended. Then, the background effect is canceled out.
S
AMPLE GAS - Sample gas should be non-
flammable (below 100% of the sample's
LEL). For high sensitivity applications requiring background gas compensation,
contact the factory.
F
LOW RATE - The sample flow rate must
be between 0.5 L/min. and 2 L/min. Flow
rate for purge air should be 16 to 18
L/min.
P
RESSURIZATION/FILTRATION - Sample
pressure at the SAMPLE inlet should be
within the range of 483 to 1035
hPa-gauge (7 to 15 psig), and internally,
should be 345 hPa-gauge (5 psig) nominally. Burner fuel pressures should be:
4 is sufficient.

Instruction Manual
760001-A
October 2002
1725 to 3450 hPa-gauge (25 to 50 psig)
for cylinder regulator, 1518 to
1723 hPa-gauge (22 to 25 psig) internal.
Burner air pressures should be: 1725 to
3450 hPa-gauge (25 to 50 psig) for cylinder regulator, 965 to 1103 hPa-gauge (14
to 16 psig) internal. Purge air (external
supply) pressure should be between 689
and 1378 hPa-gauge (10 and 20 psig),
689 to 827 hPa-gauge (10 to 12 psig)
nominal. The internal purge air regulator
pressure is factory preset at a nominal
setting of 551 hPa-gauge (8 psig) with a
supply pressure of 689 hPa-gauge (10
psig). Noncompliance with these specifications, particularly those concerning
purge air, could cause over-pressure
damage to the module. The nominal internal case pressure is about 0.5 to 1.0
inch of water, and the pressure relief
valve is set at 1/3 psig (nominal).
At the very least, the module's safety system, which requires a certain volume of
purge air flowing through the case before
allowing burner ignition, will not allow the
instrument to operate.

for accuracy. Sample should be filtered
for particulates down to two microns.
d. 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
Two electrical connections are required on the
Analyzer Module: POWER and NETWORK.
See Figure 2-4 on page 2-4. On the Analyzer
Module, two NETWORK connectors are
available, either of which is appropriate for: 1)
interconnection with the Backplane of the
Platform or 2) "daisy-chaining" with other
NGA2000 components. Connect Analyzer
Module POWER to Backplane POWER or external 24 VDC power source.
All internal pressure settings are preset at
the factory, but the operator should check
