5. Mounting the Measuring Cell Assembly in the Analyzer Oven:

a. Remove the 3 mm holding screw from the Sample Cell RTD.

Remove the Flame Arrester (black plug) from the counter bore
hole in the Heat Transfer Block (on the Measuring Cell).

b. Swing the Optical Bench Assembly toward the Analyzer Oven and
then swing the Measuring Cell Assembly toward the Heater Plate.

Align the hole in the Heat Transfer Block with the Sample Cell
RTD tip and carefully push the Measuring Cell Assembly toward
the Heater Plate. Adjust the entire Measuring Cell/Optical Bench
Assembly as required to firmly seat the Measuring Cell Assembly
against the Heater Plate.

c. Using an Allen key, insert the 3 mm holding screw into the counter
bore hole in the Heat Transfer Block and thread it (until it is snug)
onto the Sample Cell RTD from which it was removed (see Figure
3-5). Do not use a ball driver – the head can break off inside the
screw. Do not tighten the screw at this time.

 velocimeter Purge Air
The Velocimeter Purge Air provides instrument air to backpurge (clear)
the pitot tubes or to perform a Zero/Span calibration on the Velocimeter.

The purge air is normally obtained from the Instrument Air supply air
via a separate regulator and flow restrictor mounted on the left side of
the Electronics Enclosure. The required purge air pressure is indicated by
a label on the analyzer backpan. The Electronics Enclosure air pressure
can be verified by connecting a pressure gauge (e.g., Magnahelix™) to
the fitting (gauge port) located on the lower right side of the Electronics
Enclosure. The Electronics Enclosure air pressure should typically be be-
tween 0.1 and 0.2 inches of water with respect to the air pressure outside
the cabinet.

Status relays
The analyzer uses three relays which indicate the operational status of the
analyzer. Each relay provides a set of SPDT (Form C) dry (potential-free)
contacts. The relays are configured for fail-safe operation (i.e., energized
for the non-alarm condition).

The three sets of status relays used are:

Normal/Fault Status Relay

When the analyzer is operating in its normal Run state, this relay is
energized. This relay is de-energized if a Fault alarm condition exists
within the analyzer’s built-in diagnostic system (the analyzer requires
service). In RUN mode, S is displayed on the upper-right line of the
User Interface Panel to indicate this relay has become de-energized.

With the exception of an Over-Temperature fault (f Temp High) –

detected by the Over-Temperature RTD Daughter boards – on the
Sample Line, Vent Line (if used; or SCU), or Analyzer Oven, this
relay’s contacts reset automatically upon correction of the Fault alarm.
The Over-Temperature fault, however, must be reset manually. To reset
this relay, you must press SW300 on the Termination board, located in
the Electronics Enclosure.

When a Fault alarm condition exists (relay is de-energized), the sample

system will automatically switch to Backpurge mode if the analyzer’s
Flow Control Mode is set to Analyzer (automatic) Control mode. A
lower case “b” will be displayed in the top-left corner of the RUN
mode screen to indicate the analyzer has automatically forced its Flow
Control Mode to Backpurge.
