INTRODUCTION

This manual provides all the necessary information to install, operate and
maintain the 330S, 330SDS, 331S and 331SDS model H2S Analyzer units. This
manual is intended for all technical level users.

Throughout this document will be referring to the models 330S and 331S.
However, the information applies equally to the 330SDS and 3301SDS (Dual
sensor), unless otherwise stated. To clarify, the difference between an "S" model
and a "SDS" model analyzer is the second sensor the "SDS" has to measure H2S
giving it the capability to measure H2S from two different samples at the same
time; the DS stands for Dual Sensor.

The Envent 330S/331S H2S Analyzer is a uniquely rugged and simple design that
utilizes lead acetate based detection which provides a linear and interference-free
output of H2S concentration. This analyzer can measure a wide range of hydrogen
sulfide concentrations from parts per billion (ppb) concentrations to parts per
million (ppm) concentrations. With the addition of a dilution sample system, it
can read high concentrations in percentage up to 100%. There are other options
available such as the sample system for H2S analysis in liquids or the addition of a
hydrogen reaction furnace for total sulfur measurements.

Warnings & Cautions


This section covers all warnings and cautions for the 330S and 331S H2S
analyzers. They are divided into warnings and cautions applicable to both the
330S and 331S, only 330S, and only 331S H2S analyzers. Please read and
understand all statements as they are for your own safety when installing,
operating and maintaining the analyzer(s). Some of these statements are also
noted throughout the manual when relevant.

Warning & Cautions for 330S & 331S H2S Analyzers

Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been switched off or area is
known to be non-hazardous.

Turn off power before servicing. Ensure breakers are off before connecting or
disconnecting power supply.

Electrostatic Hazard – Backpan and Certification nameplate must be cleaned only


with a damp cloth to prevent static charging hazard.

Hydrogen Sulfide and/or other hazardous gases may be present under normal
operation – proper precaution and protective equipment is advised. Please refer to
"Risk Assessment - Safety Information" on page 77 for more information.

The analyzers input voltage range shown in Certification Nameplate (e.g., 120 –
240VAC) is limited when installing external devices (e.g., Solenoids).

Incorrect configuration of the analyzer may cause incorrect operation. Injury


and/or damage to facilities may occur. Check analyzer's functionality after
configuration changes have been made.

Total Sulfur Furnace reaches a temperature of up to 900 °C internally after


1 hour on. Do not touch external surface as it can reach up to 150 °C. Allow
enclosure 1 hour after powering down the analyzer to cool down before servicing.

The analyzer should be mounted in an area in which it is not exposed to vibration,


excessive pressure, temperature and/or environmental variations.

Disassembly of the pressure regulator and solenoids in the field is not advised.
Consult Envent Engineering Ltd if the regulator or solenoid appears
contaminated.

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 3 Revision 2


Before resuming line pressure, be sure that all port connections, sample sweep
and sample conditioning system are securely installed.

All connections must be leaktight to ensure the effectiveness of the analyzer as


well as safety. The user is solely responsible for the product selection, safety and
warning requirements for the application. If the equipment is used in a manner not
specified by Envent Engineering Ltd, the protection provided by the equipment
may be impaired.

Do not use solvents, brake cleaners, soaps, detergents or rubbing alcohol to clean
up analyzer or sample system.

Division 1.

Open circuit before removing cover.

Ensure that the analyzer received is suitable for the electrical classification of the
installation site:
• The 330S is designed for Class I, division 1 Groups CD
or Groups BCD (Check Analyzer Nameplate)

The glass window on the XP enclosure must remain installed in order to maintain
area classification.

Seals not poured. Pour seals before energizing the circuit (See "Chico A Sealing
Compound: For sealing fittings in Hazardous Locations" on page 71 for further
details).

Analyzer may utilize an optional CCS, Model 646 Series pressure switch located
on the side of the XP enclosure:
• Dual seal, MWP 500psi

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 4 Revision 2


• Annunciation is visible leakage from the pressure adjustment cover
(flow from this cover can indicate the possibility that a failed primary
seal condition could exist in the pressure switch).

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Physical Reaction
Envent's models 330S and 331S H2S analyzers use ASTM D4084 – 07: Standard
Test Method for analysis of hydrogen sulfide in gaseous fuels (Lead Acetate
reaction rate method). This method uses lead acetate impregnated paper.
Throughout this document the term lead acetate tape will be written as "H2S
sensing tape". Refer to "Safety Data Sheet for H2S Sensing Tape" on page 72 for
safety information on the H2S sensing tape.

The H2S sensing tape reacts when in contact with hydrogen sulfide by the
compound relationship shown below. This tape does not react to any other sulfur
compounds in the gas stream. This makes it free from interference when more
than one sulfur compound is present in the sample stream. The H2S reaction is
visibly evident by a brown stain directly on the H2S sensing tape.

H 2 S + Pb(CH 3COO) 2 H



2O
→ PbS + 2CH 3COOH
The electronics built into the models 330S and 331S have been programmed to
measure the rate of darkening over time which, in turn, gives the hydrogen sulfide
concentration level. When no H2S is in contact with the H2S sensing tape, the
analyzer sensor reads 1000 mV (+/- 100 mV).

The sensor block has a LED and a photodiode detector. The LED emits a red
beam of light which is reflected off of the H2S sensing tape to the photodiode
which detects the light intensity. The darker the H2S sensing tape becomes when
in contact to H2S, the less light the photodiode detector receives reducing the
millivolt value, which in turn, increases the H2S value. The "SDS" models
uniquely measures rate of change on both sides of the H2S sensing tape, allowing
for simultaneous readings of two separate samples.

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 11 Revision 2


Figure 1. H2S Analyzer Principle of Operation Diagram

Figure 1 above shows a flow and pressure regulated of a filtered sample gas
passing through the humidifier into the sample chamber. An aperture in the
sample chamber, which differs in sizes depending on the application, allows the
gas to come in contact with the H2S sensing tape creating a brown stain.

Flow and pressure are the most important variables when measuring H2S and
must be kept at a constant state for the analyzer to measure H2S properly. Pressure
should be kept at a constant 15 psig. The lowest pressure found to be tolerable for
proper H2S measurement is 0.5 psig. Flow must be kept at a constant flow of 2 cm
(83.63 cc/min). A change in flow of +/- 1 cm affects the reading by 10% of full
range.

Analysis Cycles
The analysis of the color rate of change on the H2S sensing tape is measured in
analysis cycles. An analysis Cycle lasts up to a maximum of 720 seconds (12
minutes).

Do not change the Maximum Analysis Time, consult Envent Engineering Ltd.

Analyzers sold prior to Mid-August 2016 are set to have a 360 second analysis
cycle.

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 12 Revision 2


Once an analysis cycle is complete, the motor moves the H2S sensing tape giving
the sensor block new tape surface area to start the analysis again. In normal
operation, if the analyzer is being exposed to H2S within its range, the analysis
cycle should last between 150 to 210 seconds (1.5 to 2.5 min); the cycle lasts 720
seconds if no H2S is present.

Figure 2. H2S Analysis Cycle

Figure 2 shows a complete analysis cycle from when the motor has advanced the
H2S sensing tape from a previous analysis (1), to the end of the current analysis
(4). Once the H2S sensing tape has finished moving and new tape surface area is
exposed, the reflection of light from the LED to the photodiode detector is at its
maximum and results in a voltage output from the sensor block of 1000 mV (+/-
100 mV). This voltage is captured by the analyzer and it is referred to as the "Zero
Voltage". The zero voltage will vary for each surface area of the H2S sensing tape
and will represent the starting point for the H2S reading for that cycle.

From stage (2) to (4) the H2S value starts increasing as the millivolt value drops
from exposure to H2S. This stage is called "RRA Analysis". The RRA stands for
Rapid Response Algorithm and it is the instantaneous H2S readings calculated
every 67 ms. As the H2S sensing tape darkens, the RRA value starts going up
every second. Although the RRA values are calculated almost instantaneously,
they are not as accurate as the final reading obtained at the "Concentration
Calculation" stage (3) to (4). However, RRA values can be used as a trigger
alarms setpoint in case the application requires a rapid response time (less than
the RRA Analysis completion). The first part of the RRA Analysis (2) to (3)

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 13 Revision 2


completes when the mV value drops 100 mV. Once it drops 100 mV, stage (3) to
(4) "Concentration Calculation" starts.

On this stage, the H2S slope is optimal for calculating the final H2S value for that
Cycle. Algorithms are used by the controller board to calculate as accurately as
possible the H2S final value. Once the final value is obtained, it will stay at that
value (shown in the display and 4-20 mA analog outputs) until the next cycle has
finished and updates the H2S current reading. This stage will always be 1/5 of the
amount of time it takes stage (2) to (3) to complete. Thus, if stage (2) to (3) took
600 seconds, then stage (3) to (4) will take 120 seconds.

It is important that the analyzer is used for its calibrated H2S range. Do not use
this unit for an application that will require readings outside of its calibrated
range. This will cause the H2S sensing tape to run out faster and may cause less
accurate readings. The range is determined by the aperture strip in the sample
chamber. For more information analyzer ranges, refer to "Aperture Strip" on page
20.

Dual Sensor Analysis cycle (SDS):

Dual sensor analyzers have two sensors that read H2S from two different samples
at the same time, e.g. Sensor 1: 0-20 ppm H2S Sensor 2: 0-200 ppm H2S. The
analysis cycle process is the same per sensor as explained earlier in this section;
however, some extra algorithms have been implementing to help with the
interaction between the two sensors and their analysis cycles' timing.

Both analysis cycles for each sensor will always start at the same time. When the
motor moves and new H2S sensing tape area is exposed, a new analysis cycle has
started for both sensors. However, the analysis cycles from each sensor will finish
at different times. Either sensor 1 or sensor 2 will finish its analysis cycle first.
Regardless of which sensor finishes first, it will wait for the other sensor to
complete its analysis cycle. Once both sensors have completed their analysis
cycles, the motor will move and new H2S sensing tape area is exposed for a new
analysis cycle.

It is important to clarify that when the first sensor has finished its analysis cycle,
even when it is waiting for the second sensor to complete its analysis cycle, it
immediately updates any outputs associated with that sensor (Analog output 4-20
mA, alarms, display H2S value, etc.).

ANALYZER COMPONENTS

In this section, the main components of the 330S/331S H2S analyzer will be
covered as well as the optional components added to the system at customer
request. A brief explanation of type, functionality, set up and options will be
described.

Total Sulfur and Dilution system options will not be covered in this section.
Please refer to Total Sulfur and Dilution manuals.

Controller Board
The H2S controller board is the most important electronic component of the
analyzer. It is a printed circuit board that holds all of the customer's connections
such as, communication ports, digital inputs, analog outputs, relay outputs
solenoid outputs, and AC or DC power input. Refer to Figure 3.

Figure 3. H2S Controller Board Front View (Customer Connections)

Power Connection

There are AC or DC H2S controller boards and will be specified by customer


request. The controller board with an AC power supply has an input voltage range
from 110 to 240 VAC (50-60 Hz) and the controller board with a DC power
supply has an input voltage range from 10 to 32 VDC. Refer to Figure 3.

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 15 Revision 2


Solenoid Output Drivers & Furnace Output

The H2S controller board has four solenoid driver outputs. They operate at the
same voltage used to power the controller board and are used to directly drive
solenoids for shutdown, auto-calibration, stream switching, etc. The connection
F1-F1 is used to power up the furnace for Total Sulfur applications (Refer to
Figure 4).

Do not supply external power to solenoid drivers on the controller board.

Figure 4. Relay & Solenoid Outputs

Dry Contact Relays

The H2S controller board has four dry contact relays used as status outputs, to
drive external relays or solenoids. They are rated for a maximum of 120 VAC 5
Amp (Refer to Figure 4).

Analog Outputs

The H2S controller board has two isolated loop power 4-20mA outputs which can
be set up for different variable outputs. Loop power (10-32 Volts) sourced from
the end device (PLC) is required for the analog to output. Figure 5 shows the
different wiring set ups for the analog outputs.

The third wiring option shown in Figure 5 uses Envent's powered AO board(s) to
provide self-powered analog outputs. These boards are available at Envent
Engineering Ltd. Refer to "Power AO Boards" on page 30.

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 16 Revision 2


The factory default variable for the two analog outputs is the current H2S reading
on sample 1, labeled in the ICE software as "Sample 1 H2S – Current Value",
meaning both analog outputs are based on the H2S readings for sample 1. For
SDS models, analog output 2 outputs the variable for sample 2.

Figure 5. AO 4-20 mA Output Wiring Options

Digital Inputs

The H2S controller board has four digital inputs use to signal the analyzer of a
change of state from an external device, refer to Figure 3. As factory default,
DI#1 is used for low H2S sensing tape sensor and DI#2 is used for low pressure

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 17 Revision 2


switch, if applicable. These two devices are installed to the analyzer only by
customer request.
Serial Ports & I2C

The H2S controller board has the communication capabilities for RS-232, RS-485
and Ethernet (Optional). The RS-232 Serial port is wired to a mini USB Female
connector for easy access with an communication extension cable (provided with
analyzer) refer to Figure 6.

Figure 6. RS-232 Serial Port wired to a Mini USB Female Connector

The TCP/IP communication is achieved via a communication electronics card


which is connected to the I2C terminal block on the controller board. It does not
come with the analyzer unless otherwise requested by the customer. For more
information on the Ethernet communication card refer to "Ethernet
Communication Card" on page 30.

LCD Display Board


The LCD display board used for the H2S 330S/331S models is a graphic backlit
display with a direct tactile or magnetic interface, refer to Figure 7. The magnetic
interface is only used on the 330S H2S analyzers which are for Class I, Division 1
areas. The LCD display connects to the controller board with an IDC ribbon
cable.

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 18 Revision 2


Figure 7. 330S & 331S H2S Analyzer Graphic Display

Sample Chamber
The sample chamber is the component that allows the H2S sample to come in
contact to the H2S sensing tape which in turn is read by the sensor block. The
sample chamber is made of the following components:

Figure 8. Sample Chamber (Exploded View)

Sensor Block

The sensor block measures the intensity of the LED light reflected off of the H2S
sensing tape. It is composed of an electronic board, a red light emitting diode and
a photodiode, refer to Figure 8. As the tape gets darker due to exposure to H2S,
the photodiode receives less light. Less light translates to more H2S.

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 19 Revision 2


Window & Gasket

These two components seal the small compartment where the H2S comes inside
the sample chamber, refer to Figure 8. The window keeps a clear view for the
LED and the photodiode to work properly and isolates them from the sample gas.
The rubber gasket seals the Sample Chamber compartment preventing any leaks.

Aperture Strip

The sample chamber has a fixed size aperture of ¼ inch which is used for
concentrations in between 1 ppm to 16 ppm.

For concentration applications below 1 ppm or above 16 ppm an aperture strip is


installed behind the window in the Sample Chamber, refer to Figure 8. These
aperture strips keep the analysis time to be approximately the same regardless of
the range.

Various sizes of apertures match different measurement ranges. Table 2 shows the
aperture size according to its range.

H2S Range Aperture Strip Envent PN


50 ppb to 1 ppm ppb style 330110
1 ppm to 16 ppm None (1/4" fixed aperture size) N/A
16 ppm to 30 ppm 1/16" 330103
30 ppm to 50 ppm 1/32" 330102
50 ppm to 100 ppm Pin Holes 330100
100 ppm to 500 ppm Laser Dot 330109
Over 500 ppm Addition of a dilution panel. Consult Factory.

Table 2. Aperture Strips & Ranges

Aperture strips can be changed to accommodate for a different range application.


Refer to the table shown above to select the best option on the new concentration
application. Contact Envent Engineering Ltd to purchase an aperture strip.

Remember: gain and span values on analog outputs will have to change based on
new range application. Please re-calibrate analyzer. Refer to "H2S Gas
Calibration" on page 54.

The adhesive used to glue the aperture strip in its place is RTV108 Translucent
Adhesive. RTV102, RTV103, and RTV109 could also be used.

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 20 Revision 2


Trigger Slide

The trigger slide is the device that seals the H2S sensing tape against the sample
chamber. The pressure created by the two springs is enough to seal the sample
chamber (4 – 5 W.C). The head of the trigger slide is low-friction which ensures
the H2S sensing tape to move smoothly preventing the tape to break. It also
ensures that the stain on the tape has even and sharp edges. Refer to Figure 9.

Figure 9. Trigger Slide Installed on a 330S H2S Analyzer (Applicable for 331S Analyzers)

Sample flow Components


The analyzer should have components that control and prepare the gas sample for
proper H2S readings. These components are: flowmeter, humidifier, and eductor
block.

Flowmeter

This component comes with all 330S/331S H2S analyzer. The flowmeter is a F65-
65mm forged aluminum body with a standard cartridge control valve*. Flow must
be kept at a constant flow of 2 cm (83.63 cc/min). A change in flow of +/- 1 cm
affects the reading by 10% of full range.

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 21 Revision 2


*The flowmeter is changed to a "No Knob" for 330S/331S H2S analyzers with
total sulfur or dilution systems. The flow is controlled using a critical orifice set to
a flow of 83.63 cc/min and flowmeters located in the sample conditioning system.

Humidifier Unit

For the H2S to adhere to the surface of the H2S Sensing tape, it needs to be
humidified. The humidifier unit helps having constant moisture content in the
sample which increases the chemical reaction on the H2S Sensing tape. Envent
Engineering Ltd offers a unique design of humidifiers meant to meet the
requirements for humidification of the sample before it gets into contact with the
H2S sensing tape; refer to Figure 10 .

Figure 10. Envent's Humidifier Unit for 330S & 331S

The humidifier works by using Nafion Tubing. This material has the capability to
transports water vapor from the most humidified medium to the driest medium.
The sample gas traveling inside the Nafion tube is dryer than the outside of the
tube which is being saturated with water, thus, humidifying the gas sample. It is
important to have a constant flow to create a constant humidification of the
sample gas.

The humidifier unit can be filled with distilled water or 5% Acetic Acid up to
where the line indicates on the unit. Acetic acid is preferable over distilled water
since it prevents the liquid to create mold and fungus overtime. Also the freezing
point for water is 0 °C and for 5% Acetic Acid is -2 °C making it more reliable
under freezing temperatures.

For the SDS models, the humidifier has two inlet and outlet ports. It is important
to make sure that the tubing is not connected to the wrong port. The Vinyl tubing
that connect to the humidifier are label with a 1 and a 2, make sure they are
matched when installing them to the humidifier.

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 22 Revision 2


The analyzer should not be exposed to ambient temperatures lower than 0 °C.
By default, all 330S/331S H2S analyzers have a temperature alarm set to 0 °C
descending.

The analyzer should be mounted in an area in which it is not exposed to vibration,


excessive pressure, temperature and/or environmental variations.

Figure 11 shows know how to install the humidifier unit in a model 331S H2S
analyzer. Same principle applies for the model 330S H2S analyzer.

Figure 11. Humidifier Unit Installed in a 331S H2S Analyzer

Eductor Block

The analyzer reading can be affected by positive or negative pressure on the


sample vent line. This can be caused by strong winds blowing across or directly
into the vent; or by mechanical venting (exhaust fan). The eductor will eliminate
any influence on the analyzer reading; refer to Figure 12 .

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 23 Revision 2


Figure 12. Eductor Block (Venturi Effect)

The eductor is required with this model in order to maintain electrical safety and
certification in division 2 areas.

In cold climates, since the analyzer is venting a moist sample, freezing can occur.
The educator will help reduce freezing problems in the vent line due to the
increased velocity and drying effect of the sweep gas. The eductor vent can be
retrofitted to existing analyzers.

In normal conditions, the eductor makes a noise similar to a gas leak. This noise is
normal and it is due to the 15 psig pressure being expelled through the restricted
fitting creating suction from the gas vent line (Venturi Effect). DO NOT block the
opening at the bottom of the eductor or the modified elbow fitting.

Sample Conditioning System


The function of the optional sample conditioning system is to regulate and filter
particulates of free liquids from the sample, refer to Figure 13. Consideration
must be taken from all potential conditions when designing the sample
conditioning system. This section will only cover the 330S/331S standard
conditioning system which can be divided into conventional (Refer to Figure 14)
or alternative (Refer to Figure 15).

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 24 Revision 2


Figure 13. PI&D Diagram of Standard Sample System for 330S & 331S H2S Analyzers

For special sample systems, refer to drawing package in the analyzer binder or
USB flash drive provided with the analyzer.

The standard sample conditioning system consists of:

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 25 Revision 2


Filter Housing, Pressure Regulator, & Pressure Gauge (Conventional)

Filter Housing

The filter housing is capable of withstanding up to 5000 psig. This filter is set as
"Particulate" to better remove solid particles from the gas sample. For wet/dirty
systems, the filter is set as "Coalescent". The bonded microfiber filter element
located inside the filter housing should be changed at least every 3 months or as
required depending on the application.

Please contact Envent Engineering Ltd to order more bonded microfiber filters.
(Part No. 330406)

Pressure Regulator

The pressure regulator is a Swagelok 316SS 0-3600 psig Inlet and 0-25psig outlet
Series KPR.

Pressure Gauge

The Pressure gauge has a range of 0-30 psig. The pressure should be maintained
at 15 psig for normal operation. The lowest pressure found to be acceptable for
proper H2S measurement is 0.5 psig; however, it is not recommended to have a
lower pressure than 10 psig.

Three-way valve

It allows the user to manually switch from sample gas to calibration gas.

Sweep Needle Valve

This needle valve works by draining any liquids that may collect from the filter. It
also reduces lag time in the sample piping.

To learn more about lag time in the sample inlet please go to "Sample Volume &
Flow Rate" on page 34.

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 26 Revision 2


Figure 14. Conventional Standard Sample System

Maximum pressure for the standard sample system (conventional) is 2500 psig.
Analyzers, depending on its application, are installed in different types of sample
conditioning systems which may make its maximum inlet pressure vary. Consult
Analyzer's drawing package for more information about maximum inlet pressure.
The analyzer unit by itself can only withstand a maximum of 30 psi.

Envent IFR Filter Housing, Regulator, & Pressure Gauge (Alternative)

Pressure Regulator and Filter Housing

The sample conditioning system comes with the Envent's IFR regulator and filter
housing unit. The maximum inlet pressure is 3600 psig and outlet is 0-25 psig.

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 28 Revision 2


Optional Components
Envent Engineering Ltd offers optional components that could be required for
certain applications. These components are:
Low H2S sensing Tape Sensor

Analyzers can automatically alarm when the H2S sensing tape is almost fully used
and needs to be changed for a new one. It alarms when the tape has 2 – 5 days left
remaining on the roll. This sensor is installed at customer request or it can be
obtained after purchase. Refer to Figure 16.

Figure 16. Low H2S Sensing Tape Sensor

Please contact Envent Engineering Ltd to order a low H2S sensing tape sensor.
(Part No. 330046A)

The low H2S sensing tape sensor is wired to DI#1 in the controller board by
default. Low tape alarm is configured to change state of Relay#4, Fault LED, and
Virtual#1 for standard configurations.
Low Pressure Switch

Analyzer with low pressure switch(es) alarm when the sample inlet pressure drops
below 10 psig. Pressure switch(es) are installed at customer request. It is wired to
DI#2 by default in a Fail Safe configuration. Low pressure alarm is configured to
change state of Relay#4, and Fault LED for standard configurations.

Figure 17. Internal & External Pressure Switches

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 29 Revision 2


There are two types of pressure switches available. Internal pressure switch and
external pressure switch; refer to Figure 17. Both styles can be used for both the
330S and 331S H2S analyzers. If the internal switch is used on the 330S H2S
analyzer (division 1), a flame arrestor is used to comply with regulation standards.
Power AO Boards

The 330S/331S H2S analyzer has two isolated loop power 4-20mA Outputs. For
self-powered AO, power AO boards can be implemented at customer request;
refer to Figure 18.

Figure 18. Analog Output Board

Ethernet Communication Card

The 330S/331S H2S analyzer has the capability to communicate through RS-232
and RS-485. For Ethernet (TCP/IP Protocol), a communication card is
implemented to the analyzer at customer request, refer to Figure 19 .

Figure 19. Ethernet Communication Card

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 30 Revision 2


INSTALLATION

Installation Requirements

Electrical Requirements

The 330S/331S H2S analyzer's controller board can either be 110-240VAC or 10-
32VDC. Consult the analyzer nameplate attached to it or factory calibration
certificate for more information.

Controller board ground connection to chassis is represented by the letters “FG”


and ground symbol.

Certification nameplate shows the voltage range at which the controller board can
withstand (e.g., 120 – 240 VAC), however, when using external devices which
are powered by the controller board (e.g., solenoids), that voltage range no longer
applies and only the external device’s voltage rating shall be used; e.g., 120 VAC
rated solenoid, the analyzer shall be powered with only 120 VAC and not 240
VAC.

The power consumption for a VDC analyzer is 3 Watts and for a VAC is 5 Watts.
For the total sulfur option the power consumption 300 Watts.

Location for the System

First to be considered is the electrical area classification the analyzer will be


installed in. Make sure the analyzer meets the requirements for the installation
site. The 330S H2S analyzer is suitable for Class I, Division 1 Groups CD (or
Groups BCD by customer request). The 331S H2S analyzer is suitable for Class I,
Division 2 Groups ABCD.

When the total sulfur option is used, the 330S is rated for Class I, Division 1
Groups BCD and the 331S is for Class I, Division 2 Groups BCD.

The 330S/331S H2S analyzer should be mounted in an area in which it is not


exposed to vibration, excessive pressure, temperature and/or environmental
variations. The ambient temperature range for the 330S/331S H2S analyzers is 0
to 50 Degree Celsius. If the analyzer is installed in an area where temperatures go
out of this range or it varies abruptly, Envent Engineering Ltd has options such as
cabinets or shelters; consult Envent Engineering Ltd.

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 31 Revision 2


Space Requirements

Figure 20. Space Requirements for the 330S & 331S H2S Analyzers

Make sure to leave at least 1 feet of extra space on the left side of the 330S H2S
analyzer. This will allow proper opening of the side door located at the upper blue
chassis where the H2S sensing tape is located.

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 32 Revision 2


Sample Point Selection

The sample to the 330S/331S H2S analyzer must be representative of the process
stream and should be taken from a point as close as possible to the analyzer to
avoid lag times and sample degradation in the tubing. A probe must be installed
vertically on a horizontal section of pipe ensuring that the sample is drawn from
the middle third of the pipeline.

An optional Genie GPR Probe regulator may be used. The function of this probe
is to ensure a clean dry sample to the analyzer and to reduce the pressure of the
sample. The lower pressure will improve the response time of the analyzer. Refer
to Figure 21.

It is advisable that the probe not be installed on a vertical pipe.

Sample inlet & sample sweep

1/4 inch 316 stainless steel tubing and fittings are recommended for the sample
inlet and sample sweep tubing. Sample sweep can be connected to a flare line if
available. Refer to Figure 21.

1/8 inch 316 stainless steel tubing can also be used if the response time of the
analyzer is of particular concern.

Vent line

3/8 inch stainless steel tubing and fittings are recommended for the vent line to a
maximum of 6 feet in length. 1/2 inch stainless steel tubing should be used for
vent lines exceeding 6 feet. The tubing should be installed with a slight downward
slope and should be as short as possible. Refer to Figure 21.

The sample vent line must be tubed to atmospheric pressure outside and cannot be
connected to a flare line or header.

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 33 Revision 2


Figure 21. 331S Recommended Venting for 331S (Same as the 330S H2S Analyzer)

Sample Volume & Flow Rate

The sample should be supplied to the 330S/331S H2S analyzer at 10-15 psig and
at a flow of 83.63 cc/min (set flowmeter at 2.0). A bypass sweep is recommended
to reduce sample lag time in the sample line if it is at high pressure or it is longer
than 15 feet (The Standard H2S conditioning sample system has a bypass sweep).
The standard sample tubing material is 1/4" 316 stainless steel; however, 1/8"
stainless steel tubing can be used if the response time is critical (refer to Table 3).

Introduction to the 330S/331S ICE Software

The 330S/331S H2S analyzer has a software application for more advanced
changes on the analyzer's configuration. To install the ICE Software, refer to the
installer which comes in a USB flash drive with the analyzer (Check Start-up kit
box). It is also available at www.envent-eng.com.

The analyzer is configured at the factory according to the information provided by


the customer at the time of purchase. If no information is provided by the
customer, Envent Engineering Ltd will assign a standard configuration.

This manual covers only information that will help the user update/change the
analyzer's configuration file. The features in the ICE Software that are not
covered on this manual are not to be changed from its factory configuration. If
advanced changes are necessary involving features not cover on this manual,
contact Envent Engineering Ltd for assistance.

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 39 Revision 2


Safety Guidelines

Read this manual section before operating the ICE software to change the default
configuration to ensure correct operation of the analyzer.

Envent Engineering Ltd configures analyzer in conformance to the customer


specifications (if applicable). Any modifications on the factory configuration by
the user may impair the proper functionality of the analyzer if not performed
properly. Contact Envent Engineering Ltd for more information on how to modify
the configuration of the analyzer.

For Class I, Division 1 Model 330S Analyzers, the glass window must remain
installed in order to maintain area classification. However, to communicate to the
330S analyzer via RS-232 or RS-485 the glass window must be removed. Ensure
area is known to be a non-hazardous before removing the explosion proof
window.

Using the ICE Software

This section covers an overview on the 330S/331S ICE Software application. It


shows how to connect, configure and change the factory configuration to
accommodate for different applications.

The H2S analyzer's controller board has a USB port for local user interface and
three RS-485 connections. The RS-485 connections are identified with numbers
from 1 to 3 on the controller board. Connections RS-232, RS-485-1 and RS-485-2
are used to communicate with the analyzer to check or modify the current
analyzer's configuration; these connections have Modbus communication
capabilities. RS-485-3 is only used for remote display option. The proper Mini
USB to USB cable is provided in the analyzer spare parts.
Connecting the Analyzer to a Computer Using the ICE Software

Install the ICE software on your computer using the software installer provided in
the USB flash drive or on the Envent Engineering's website.

Once the ICE software is installed, physically connect the analyzer to the
computer using the Mini USB to USB cable provided.

Open the ICE software. Select the USB port the analyzer is physically connected
to. Do not select ''Enable Hi-Speed''. Click on ''Read'' and wait until the green bar
has completed at the bottom of the screen, refer to Figure 23.

Once communication has been established successfully, the user will be able to
modify the analyzer's configuration and write it to the analyzer.

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 40 Revision 2


Figure 23. ICE Software: Enable Communication

If there are communication problems, check for the following:

1. Check that the analyzer is ON.


2. Check that the communication cable is properly connected.
3. If the ICE software application was open before physically connecting the
analyzer to the computer, close the ICE software and re-open it. Try again and
enable communication.

Modify analyzer's Configuration

Before modifying the factory configuration file, make sure to save it on your
computer first for future retrieval. If the factory configuration file is lost or
modified without saving it, a copy is kept in the USB flash drive given with the
analyzer. Envent Engineering Ltd can also provide a copy. To save the
configuration file, go to File > Save or Save as.

Make the appropriate changes on the factory configuration file through the ICE
software. When changes are made, they need to be uploaded to the analyzer in
order to overwrite what is currently on it. Click on the ''Write button'' (located
beside the Read button; refer to Figure 23) and wait until the new configuration is
uploaded successfully.

Discrete Input Configuration

In this section of the ICE software, discrete inputs (and virtual inputs) are
configured. Go to System IO>Inputs>Discrete Inputs. Refer to Figure 24.

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 41 Revision 2


Analog Inputs are not covered in this manual since they must not be changed from
their factory values.

Figure 24. ICE Software: Configuration: System IO Tab: Inputs Tab

IO Name

IO names are names assigned to the discrete and virtual inputs. The name is up to
the user's discretion. Figure 24 shows DI#1 to be for Low H2S Tape Sensor. Once
a discrete or virtual input is configured, an alarm can be added based on the
discrete or virtual input status. Refer to "Alarm Configuration" on page 45.
Active State Action

Active state action is the response or output the discrete or virtual input will have
when changing states. "Standard" is selected when the discrete or virtual input is
used to output an alarm condition. "Bypass and halt" will place the analyzer into
these states when the discrete or virtual input changes state. "Acknowledge" is
used when an latched alarm needs to be acknowledged remotely (by means of a
switch).
Analog & Discrete Output Configuration

In this section of the ICE software, analog and discrete outputs are configured. To
access the analog and discrete outputs, go to System IO>Output Tab. Refer to
Figure 25.

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 42 Revision 2


Figure 25. ICE Software: Configuration: System IO Tab: Outputs Tab

Analog Outputs

Analog outputs are used when a device must be monitored or controlled remotely
over a pair of conductors. Two 4-20 mA loop-powered analog output connections
are available on the controller board (or looped-powered if AO Boards were
requested by the customer); refer to "Analog Outputs" on page 16 for more
information. This section will refer to the configuration of the analog outputs
through the ICE software.

Changing the analog outputs' ranges (span values) should be done in consultation
with Envent Engineering Ltd. If the intention is to change the analyzer's H2S
range, previous steps must be followed in order for this change to work properly.
The aperture strip must be changed, alarm setpoint values, gain, H2S range, etc.

Do not change the "Factory Zero" and "Factory Span" values.

The Third analog output is only used for Total Sulfur options. Do not modify
factory settings.

Track Mode

This option allows activating or deactivating the analog output. Refer to Figure 25
area ①

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 43 Revision 2


IO Name

IO Names are names assigned to the analog outputs. The name is up to the user's
discretion. Figure 25 area ① shows the analog output names as "H2S" as default
for standard configurations.
Zero & Span

These columns refer to the range being measured. Since the variables used for the
analog outputs are the analyzer H2S readings, the zero and span values are 0 to 20
ppm of H2S (for standard configurations). Refer to Refer to Figure 25 area ①

For the standard factory configuration on 330S/331S, both 1 and 2 analog output
variables are based on the analyzer H2S readings of sample 1.

For the standard factory configuration on the 330SDS/331SDS models, analog


output 1 variable is based on H2S reading of sample 1 and analog output 2 variable
is based on H2S reading of sample 2.

Factory Zero & Factory Span

These values are set at factory. They compensate for the differences on the
resistors and capacitors in the controller board. Do not modify these values.
Variable

Items used by the analog output to signal their current statuses. To select a new
variable, go to the right hand menu on dark blue background and find the new
variable. Click and drag the variable to the variable column and proceed to change
the specification on the analog output row according to the new variable.
Discrete Outputs

In this section of the ICE software, discrete outputs are named and their status
states are set-up. Refer to Refer to Figure 25 area ②.
IO Name

IO Names are names assigned to the discrete outputs. The name is up to the user's
discretion. Names are set-up according to the analyzer standard factory
configuration file. These names are based on what alarm variable they are used
for. These discrete output names will appear in the Output Controls column in the
Alarm tab section. Refer to Figure 25 area ②.

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 44 Revision 2


Active State

Active state is the condition the discrete output will have when in alarm. If
selected as "De-energized", the discrete output will be fail-safe. Refer to Figure 25
area ②.
Alarm Configuration

In this section of the ICE software, alarms and alarm setpoint are configured.
Refer to this section to learn how to add, modify, or delete an alarm.
Adding an Alarm

Go into the ''Alarm'' tag, refer to Figure 26. This section will show the current
alarm configuration on the analyzer.

Figure 26. ICE Software: Configuration: Alarms Tab

To add an alarm, use the right hand menu on dark blue background to locate the
appropriate variable as shown in Figure 26. On the right hand menu is where all
analyzer variables can be found. In this example, we will add an Emergency
System-Shutdown (ESD) using 15 ppm of H2S concentration readings as the
setpoint. To add the appropriate variable for this example, click on
Modes>Sample> H2S >Current Value. Refer to Figure 27.

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 45 Revision 2


Figure 27. ICE Software: Adding Variable as an Alarm

Click on the appropriate variable, in this case ''Current Value'', and drag it all the
way to the empty variable box, refer to Figure 27. Once the variable has been
added to the list, you can proceed and change the alarm parameters on the
variable. These parameters are:
Description

It will label the variable. This will identify the alarm on the display.
Sense Mode

Alarm will activate when variable values are ascending or descending.


Setpoint

The setpoint is the value at which the alarm will activate.


Reset

Value at which the alarm resets back to a no alarm condition. The reset value is
calculated automatically from the setpoint minus the dead-band value assigned.
Dead-band

Area of a measured variable that must be compensated before the alarm condition
goes to a non-alarm condition. The dead-band is use to avoid ON-OFF repeatedly
if the variable value is close to the alarm setpoint.

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 46 Revision 2


Latch

Latching an alarm will keep its alarm condition even after the variable values are
no longer in alarm condition. When an alarm is latched, it will need to be
acknowledged through the display (ACK) or by remote acknowledge (through a
Digital Input) for the control outputs to go back into normal state.
Output Controls

Output control or discrete outputs, when selected, will change states when the
alarm is triggered. To select the active state of the discrete outputs, go to System
IO>Outputs Tab>Discrete Outputs.
Alarm Timer

It is a timer delay for the alarm to activate once it has hit the setpoint and kept that
alarm condition during the timer countdown. The analyzer recognizes the alarm
condition but it will not go into an alarm state or activate any discrete outputs until
the timer countdown has completed. (E.g. the temperature is set to 120 seconds
and the setpoint is 0 Degrees Celsius - descending). The analyzer will go into
alarm after the analyzer reaches 0 Degrees Celsius or lower and stays at or below
the setpoint during the full countdown.
AO1 & AO2 Full Scale

It forces the analog outputs to full scale when a condition is met. For instance, if
the RRA alarm setpoint is set to 20 ppm with a Full scale AO1 option checked
(Checkbox), AO1 will immediately go to 20 mA or Full scale when the analyzer
reads 20 ppm or more. This would happen before the actual analysis time is done
(2-3 mins) which makes it ideal for immediate shutdown.

Figure 28. ICE Software: New Alarm Set-up

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 47 Revision 2


Figure 28, shows a new alarm non-latching, ascending, setpoint of 15 ppm, dead-
band of 0.1, description as ESD, no output controls and no alarm timer.

To move the alarm up or down on the list, click on the ''View'' column for that
specific alarm. In our example, click on the ''8 of 32'' box which highlights the
entire alarm row. Then press control + up or down arrow keys.
Removing an Alarm

Click on the ''View'' column for that specific alarm. Once the alarm row is
highlighted, press ''Delete'' on the keyboard.

Archive Setup Configuration

In this section of the ICE software, archiving is configured. To set up the


archiving to record information on certain variables, go to the Configuration >
Archive Setup Tab in the left side menu.

Figure 29. ICE Software: Configuration: Archive Setup Tab

The green-black box shown in Figure 29 is a representation of the memory


capacity of the controller board for archiving information. The green area
represents the memory that will be consumed or used by the items already selected
and the amount (in this case 100,000 records). The black area represents the
memory availability. Figure 29 shows that the two items or variable selected (in

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 48 Revision 2


this case Current Value and Sensor Zero) with 100,000 records (per item) would
use 54.6% of the total memory capacity.
Item & Archive Name

There are up to 6 groups with a maximum of 6 items (variables) that can be added
to each group. Group 1 name assigned for Figure 29 is "Sample".
Rollover Count

It is the number of records per item that the analyzer will archive.
Activation: End of Analysis

The analyzer obtains a new H2S reading after the analysis cycle is completed (360
sec max). That is when the analyzer will record the values of each item selected.
The average analysis time is 140 sec to 220 sec; depends on the application and
the H2S range.
Activation: Continuous (Always Set)

When data needs to be recorded at a certain time interval regardless of the analysis
cycle, this option is used. The time interval options vary from every 1 sec to every
30 min. The End of Analysis and the Continuous (Always Set) options can also be
selected at the same time.
Selecting More Items (Variables) Inside a Group

To select items inside a group, locate the variables in the right hand menu on dark
blue background and drag them into the ''Item'' column; same procedure as
"Adding an Alarm" on page 45.
Creating another Group

CALIBRATION PROCEDURES

H2S Gas Calibration


Depending on the application, the 330S/331S H2S analyzer will require more
or fewer periodic calibrations. There is no specific time as to how often the
H2S analyzer should be calibrated. It will depend on the application,
importance of accuracy for the application, and how dirty or clean the
environment and sample are. The following is the calibration procedure for
the 330S/331S H2S analyzer:

1. Source a calibration gas of H2S in balance of N2 regulated to 15 psi


(check expiry date). H2S concentration to be approximately 2/3 of full
scale range or close to the H2S alarm set point.
2. Press the bypass button and verify the "Bypass" LED illuminates (alarms
will be held in the non- alarm state).
3. Turn off all gas supplies to the analyzer and check that a sufficient
amount of H2S sensing tape is installed.
4. Press the "Menu/Set" button until "Mtr Run" is displayed. Press the right
arrow [→], the H2S sensing tape will advance for approximately 10
seconds.
5. Press the "Menu/Set" button until "mV" is displayed ("###mV"). If the
mV reading is 1000mV (+100mV), proceed to the next step, otherwise
re-zero sensor (Refer to "Re-zero Sensor Procedure" on page 55).
6. Connect calibration gas to calibration port and turn the 3-way calibration
valve 180°. The valve handle should be pointing towards where the gas
bottle tubing is connected to (Calibration Inlet).
7. Turn on sample inlet valve, ensure that the sample regulator is supplying
15psig to the eductor (make sure there is suction from the eductor block).
Adjust the flow meter to 2.0. Wait until the H2S reading has stabilized
(10 to 15 minutes).
8. With calibration gas applied, if H2S reading is satisfactory (+2% of
analyzer full range) skip to step 16, if H2S reading is not satisfactory a
gain adjustment is required, continue to step 9.
9. Press the "Menu/Set" button until the gain setting is displayed ("###
Gain").
10. Calculate the new gain. New gain value should be within approximately
25% of the gain installed at the factory.

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 54 Revision 2


11. To adjust the gain setting such that the analyzer displays the correct H2S
concentration, press the right [→] and / or left [←] arrows until the cursor
is underneath the number you wish to change.
12. Adjust the number using the "Menu/Set" button (it will increase until "9"
then will cycle back through "0").
13. Save the new gain value by pressing the right arrow [→] until "Saved"
appears or discard by pressing the left [←] arrow until "Cancel" appears.

MAINTENANCE

The 330S/331S H2S analyzer will provide reliable service with very little
attention. If the analyzer is kept clean there should be no requirement to
recalibrate from factory gain settings. However, regular check-up (at least
every three months) will ensure that the analyzer is operating to
specifications.

• Ensure that the H2S sensing tape take-up and feed reels are tight
• Ensure that the flow meters, humidifier tubing and sample chamber
tubing are free of liquid or particulate contamination. If the sample
conditioning system is flooded with liquid, refer to "Sample Conditioning
System Cleaning Procedure" on page 58.
• Ensure there is enough H2S sensing tape, especially if a low H2S sensing
tape sensor is not installed. Refer to "H2S Sensing Tape Change
Procedure" on page 57.
• Check the sample conditioning filter(s) every time the H2S sensing tape is
replaced. Replace the filter(s) as required.

H2S Sensing Tape Change Procedure

Figure 32. 331S & 331SDS H2S Sensing Tape Change Procedure (Applicable for 330S & 330SDS Analyzers)

Envent Engineering Ltd. Page 57 Revision 2


Sample Conditioning System Cleaning Procedure
During start-up or plant upset situations, the 330S/331S H2S analyzer may
become contaminated with amine or hydrogen sulfide scavenger solution.
This may cause the analyzer to read low (this can be determined at
calibration). If the analyzer reads low, it will require incremental increases in
the gain to maintain calibration. Please refer to factory calibration sheet for
factory set gain factor. The scavenger solution is water soluble and therefore
is relatively easy to clean.
