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.

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.

Before calibration can begin, the following conditions must be met:
Span gas must flow through the analyzer for a sufficient period of time.
The measured value must be stable.
Each range can be spanned separately, or all together. This preference can be set in
the “Calibration parameters” menu (see chapter 5.1.2, page 5-13).
If it is not possible to calibrate all ranges with the same span gas, the ranges must be
calibrated separately.
The span gas concentration must be between 10% and 110% of the upper limit of the
current range. See chapter 5.1.1, page 5-5.

“Zero/span calibration” menu.
⇒ Change to the “Zero/span diagnostic data” submenu (via the “Result” menu item) to
check the results of the calibration.
Entering calibration values manually
If a calibration attempt fails, e.g. due to interruptions in the gas supply, the calibration procedure
must be repeated. The recorded zero and span gas values may be so extreme, that a simple
repetition of the calibration procedure may not be enough to solve the problem. In such cases
the calibration factors must be entered manually.
Conditions for the manual setting of factors:
In the “Zero/span calibration” menu the “Calibration adjustment limits” parameter
(see above) must be set to “DISABLED”.
In the “Calibration parameters” menu (see ch. 5.1.2, page 5-13) the “Zero ranges” and
“Span ranges” must be set to “SEPARATELY”.
⇒ In the “Zero/span calibration” menu press F2 (“Factors”) to access the “Calibration

“Calibration adjustment limits” parameter
If this parameter is set to “ENABLED”, calibration will only be successful if the result lies
within the set limits. If the result lies outside these limits, an error message will be displayed
in the “Analyzer zero” and/or “Analyzer span” menu.
If this parameter is set to “DISABLED”, calibration will be possible even if the results lie
outside the set limits. This setting necessary e.g. when calibration is to be performed
manually (see ) chapter 5.1.1, page 5-9).
“Calibration averaging time” parameter
Determines the time span the analyzer uses to obtain the calibration average. Longer times
should result in more accurate results. The value can be set to any value between 0 and 60
seconds. The default value is 5 seconds.
“Calibration failure alarm” parameter
If this parameter is set to “Yes”, a failed calibration will cause a warning to be issued.
“Cal failure allowed” parameter
If the set point differs by a greater margin that that set here, a warning will be issued if the
calibration failure alarm is also enabled. The value can be set to any between 5% and 80%,
the default value is 50%.
If the measurement signal is not stable after the time out set here, a warning will be issued if
the calibration failure alarm is also enable. The value can be set to any bezween 0 and 300
seconds, the default value is 60 seconds.
“Zero ranges” and “Span ranges” parameters
Determine whether measurement ranges should be zeroed or spanned together or
separately. If this value is set to “TOGETHER”, all ranges are automatically calibrated in turn.
If the ranges are to be calibrated manually (see ) chapter 5.1.1, page 5-9), these
parameters must be set to “SEPARATELY”.
It is only possible to calibrate ranges together when the concentration of a single
span gas lies within 10% and 110% of the upper limit of each range. If this is not the
case, only those ranges which meet this criterion will be calibrated automatically; all
others will be ignored.

Analog output setup
“Signal value for 0%/100% output” parameters
The signal values for the output signals are set here. This makes it possible to “magnify” a
specific part of the measurement range.
For example:
Measurement range is from 0 to 100 ppm
The signal for 0% is set to 40 ppm, that for 100% to 70 ppm
Standard analog output setting: 0V = 0 ppm 10V = 100 ppm
Adjusted analog output setting: 0V = 40 ppm 10V = 70 ppm
Following a range change the values set here will be lost. To change the output
signal permanently, the settings in the “Range setting” menu must be changed. See
ch. 5.1.4.3, page 5-25.
The signal range at the analog output should never be smaller than that of the
smallest measurement range. This is to avoid excessive noise on the output signal.
“Output current” parameter
The output current range is set in this line. There are two options available:
0...20 mA (and automatically 0...10V)
4...20 mA (i.e. 2...10V)
“Hold output during calibration” parameter
Determines the behaviour of the signal at the analog output during calibration. The two
options are:
Yes the signal remains steady during calibration
No the signal follows the measurement signal during calibration
See the following illustration:
This setting is valid for all types of calibration for a platform or analyzer SIO: manual,
time controlled, AK controlled and system calibration.
“Signal name”, “Current signal value” and “Source module” parameters
These parameters are read-only and show the current settings: the selected signal, the
current value of the selected signal and the module from which the signal originates.
