1.1 Main hazards

Important safety information in abbreviated form.
Always observe the complete safety information (see cross-references).
WARNING: Noxious and irritating sample gas
When the sample gas contains noxious or irritating substances:
Channel sample gas off safely (→p. 24, §3.2.2.1)
WARNING: Danger to life/health risks caused by leaks in the gas path
If noxious gases are channeled into the MCS100E: A leak in the gas path can create acute danger for persons.
Ensure suitable safety measures.
WARNING: Hazards by explosive or combustible gases
Do not use the MCS100E for measuring explosive or combustible gases
WARNING: Hazard in potentially explosive atmospheres
Do not use the MCS100E in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Important information

1.2 Intended use

1.2.1 Purpose of the device

The MCS100E measuring device is used for continuous and selective measurement of emissions (e.g.: HCl, NH
3
The MCS100E is normally located in the SICK MCS100E system cabinets.
Application limitations
The MCS100E only measures the gas composition correctly for which it was calibrated (
System Documentation). A change of the gas matrix can result in incorrect measured
values.
NOTICE: Risk of contamination of the gas path
If the sample gas does not have the composition for which the MCS100E was designed (
 

1.2.2 Installation site

System Documentation):
Ensure that the MCS100E cannot draw in sample gas. Flush the gas path of the MCS100E with inert gas.
The MCS100E gas analyzer is designed for operation in rooms or system cabinets.

1.3 Responsibility of user

Designated users
The MCS100E may be operated by competent persons only who, based on their device­specific training and knowledge of the device as well as knowledge of the relevant regulations, can assess the tasks given and recognize the dangers involved.
The Specialist level of the MCS100E may be operated only by skilled technicians who, based on their technical training and knowledge as well as knowledge of the relevant regulations, can assess the tasks given and recognize the hazards involved.
Correct use
Use the MCS100E only as described in these Operating Instructions. The manufacturer bears no responsibility for any other use.
Perform the specified maintenance work.
Do not remove, add or modify any components to or on the device unless described and specified in the official manufacturer information. Otherwise
– the device could become dangerous – the manufacturer’s warranty becomes void
Special local conditions
In addition to these Operating Instructions, follow all local laws, technical rules and company-internal operating directives applicable at the respective installation site of the equipment.
Retention of documents
These Operating Instructions and the System Documentation:
Must be available for reference.
Must be passed on to new owners.

1.4 Additional documentation/information

System documentation
Individualized versions of MCS100E with adapted internal or peripheral equipment exist. For the relevant information, see the delivered separate documentation, for example:

2.2.2 Measuring principle

Light source
Cell
Interference filter
Detector
MCS100E is a single-beam infrared photometer that works on the basis of the transmitted light measuring technique applying the single-beam dual-wavelength method and the gas filter correlation method.
Figure 3 Measuring principle
Product description
2.2.2.1
Correction of spectral interferences
In order to achieve greater measuring accuracy, interference sensitivities can be detected and compensated (depending on application).
Additive (spectral superposition) and multiplicative (dilution effects) effects are considered. Moreover, external digital and analog signals can be read in and processed (option).

2.2.3 Thermostatic control

MCS100E is equipped with a self-resetting thermal circuit breaker that protects the instrument against thermal damage.

2.2.4 Cell

Sample gas filter
A sintered metal filter in the gas inlet of the cell serves as protective filter.
Beam path
The beam path corresponds to the principle of the White Cell with the beam being folded by mirrors. The mirrors are mill-cut in the end plates. Thus the optical path length of the cell is invariable (depending on the application).
Thermostatic control
The cell is thermostatic-controlled (temperature control

2.2.5 Flow meter

The flow meter functions on the resistance anemometer principle. It comprises two temperature-dependent, heated resistors, one of which is positioned in the gas stream begin measured while the other does not have gas flowing over it. The difference in the resistances is a measure of the flow rate.

Product description

2.7 QAL3 (DIN EN 14181)

The procedure described in the following is TÜV-tested for MCS100E in the MCS100E HW emission measuring system.

2.7.1 Evaluation of zero and reference point data

In regular intervals – at the latest within the maintenance intervals as specified in the aptitude test - an internal readjustment of the measuring device is performed either automatically or manually at certain time intervals by either automatic or manual sampling of reference gases for zero point and reference point. As an option, the readjustment of the reference point can be performed by swiveling in an optical calibration filter (
§2.7.2).
If the limit for readjustment is reached (usually a deviation > 6% off the preceding calibration), an error is indicated.
Zero point
The value for the zero point is determined by sampling zero gas (usually dry instrument air) and reading the instrument display resp. determining the corresponding analog signal. In practice, the same zero gas that is used for internal readjustment can also be used for this procedure.
Reference point
The value for the reference point is determined by sampling a reference gas of known gas concentration and reading the instrument display resp. determining the corresponding analog signal. In practice, the same reference gas that is used for internal readjustment can also be used for this procedure.

2.7.2 Use of the calibration filter option

As an option, the MCS100E HW measuring device can be equipped with a third filter wheel which allows to swivel-in so-called calibration filters (
This function can either be started program-controlled or manually using the MCS100E standard software.
Zero point
As described above
Reference point, conventional method
As described above
Reference point, alternative method with calibration filter
The value for the reference point is determined by sampling zero gas and swiveling-in the calibration filters one after the other by selecting the corresponding menu functions. Then the value is displayed resp. the corresponding analog signal is given for each component.
The set reference value corresponds to the value of the calibration filter.
p. 17, Figure 2).
Subject to change without notice
During gas calibration, the last measured deviation of the calibration filter values is overwritten and set to zero until the next gas calibration is performed.

3.1 Transport

WARNING: Risk of injury by a heavy load
The MCS100E weighs approx. 70 kg. Improper lifting can cause painful and sometimes permanent back injury.
Use proper lifting techniques or auxiliary equipment to lift or move the MCS100E.
• Protect MCS100E from shock and vibrations.

3.2 Installation and initial commissioning

Only qualified personnel trained on the instrument may perform installation and initial commissioning of the MCS100E.
Please contact SICK Customer Service as required.

3.2.1 Preparing the place of installation

Make sure that the bearing capacity of the mounting location is appropriate.

3.2.2 Mechanical installation

MCS100E:
Must be mounted in a vertical position.
Use the existing mounting holes.
Use appropriate mounting material only.
Ensure sufficient heat dissipation, take care that instrument space is minimum 5 cm.
Installation
3.2.2.1 Sample gas connections
• Sample gas lines: – Sample gas inlet: 6 mm fitting with ferrule – Sample gas outlet: 10 mm fitting with ferrule
WARNING: Hot surface - risk of burns
The surface of the cell insulation is hot.
Allow hot components to cool down.
WARNING: Noxious and irritating sample gas
Depending on the sample gas composition, it is possible that the sample gas contains noxious or irritating components.
Discharge the gas outlets into the open or to an extractor.
Observe information from the plant operator.
NOTICE: Condensate is formed at the sample gas outlet
When the sample gas cools down, it is possible that condensate is formed at the sample gas outlet.
Lay the sample gas outlet running downwards so that no condensate is accumulated.
If necessary, provide for a suitable condensate collecting device and adequate ventilation.
Protect the measuring gas outlet from frost.
