3 Model 7600 Quickstart Guide GETTING STARTED This Quickstart Guide is designed to get you set up and operating your Teledyne Analytical Instruments Analyzer quickly. It shortcuts the details so you can install and use your new analyzer with a minimum of fuss. This Quickstart Guide should be used in conjunction with the Instruction Manual that shipped with your instrument. Only necessary features to get you operational are discussed in this guide. Many of the advanced features of this analyzer are not described here so you should refer to the Instruction Manual to get the most from your analyzer. The Model 7600 NDIR Gas Analyzer measures the concentrations of NO, SO 2, CO 2, CO and CH 4 contained in a sample gas. The NO, SO 2, CO 2, CO and CH 4 components are measured by non-dispersion infrared method. The analyzer can be equipped with an internal paramagnetic O 2 sensor or use an external zirconia O 2 sensor to increase the number of measured components to 5. A maximum of 5 components including O 2 can be measured simultaneously. Front Panel (Operator Interface) Take a minute to familiarize yourself with the analyzer s interface. The standard 7600 NDIR Gas Analyzer is housed in a rugged NEMA-4 enclosure with controls and display accessible from the front panel. The operator interface consists of eight buttons for operating the analyzer, a display screen, plus power and back light switches. Teledyne Analytical Instruments 1

7 Model 7600 Quickstart Guide Gas Connections Note: Read all cautions contained in the Instruction manual before installing sample system. You will need the following calibration gases: Zero gas: N 2 (NO, SO 2, CO 2, CO, CH 4 and built-in paramagnetic O 2 sensor). Purge gas (N 2 or other inert gas) Span gas: 90% of full scale of component for analysis. Span gas: for built-in paramagnetic O 2 sensor 90% of full scale of O 2. If using an external zirconia O 2 sensor, you will need: Zero gas dry air or air Span gas 1-2% O 2 The analyzer is designed for 1/4 inch tubing. Installed fittings are 1/4 NPT. A typical piping diagram is shown below. This diagram shows calibration gases directed to the analyzer through solenoid valves which are controlled by the analyzer. There are several ways to bring sample gas to the analyzer depending on the number of inlet/outlet gas connections on your instrument. Refer to Section 2.2 in the Instruction Manual for other configurations. 1. Connect the sample gas to the SAMPLE IN port. 2. Connect a vent line to SAMPLE OUT port. Exhaust to atmospheric pressure. 3. Calibration gases should be tee'd into the sample inlet with appropriate valves. (See piping diagram). 4. Regulate the sample gas pressure to keep the sample flow around 0.5 liter/min ± Use short tubing with minimum bends for improved response time. 6. If required, connect a purge gas to the purge inlet. Use a purge flowrate of 1 lpm. Note: Exhaust connections must be consistent with the hazard level of the constituent gases. Check Local, State, and Federal laws, and ensure that the exhaust stream vents to an appropriately controlled area, if required. 7. Use a flowrate of 0.5L/min ±0.2L/min. Your sample system should be designed to avoid any flow fluctuation during measurement. A flowmeter should be installed to observe the flow reading as shown in the piping diagram below.
