  • Page 3 General Warnings and Cautions " WARNING 1. The Ultima X Sampling Module - Aspirated Model described in this manual must be installed, operated, and maintained in strict accordance with the labels, cautions, warnings, instructions, and within the limitations stated. 2. The Ultima X Sampling Module - Aspirated Model is designed to sample gases or vapors in air.
  • Page 4 7. Extremely high concentrations of combustible gas or vapor between the lower explosive limit (LEL) and the upper explosive limit (UEL) will cause the indication on the Ultima X Gas Monitor to indicate full scale or above full scale. If the concentration level is further increased and exceeds the UEL, the display will continue to show an above scale indication.

    Terminology ELECTRO-CHEMICAL SENSOR - Sensor employing the reactions of chemicals generating electric currents to detect certain gases. EXHAUST GAS - Gas after it has passed through the sensor. FLOW RATE - The volume-per-minute of gas in the sample line. SPAN - Full scale or up-scale reading on the meter display. SPAN GAS VALUE - Gas concentration which gives the instrument an up scale or full scale value.

    Double check the area classification of the sampling module. Refer to FIGURE 1-2 to find the area classification label on your unit. Ensure that the Ultima X Gas Monitor is rated properly by referring to Ultima X Gas Monitor instruction manual (P/N 10036101) for more details.

  • Page 14: Mounting The Aspirated Sampling Module Unit

    Mounting the Aspirated Sampling Module Unit (All Models) 1. Locate the Aspirated Sampling Module and the Ultima X Gas Monitor(s) in a clean, accessible location. • Since the unit enclosure is non-corrosive, it can be mounted to the outside of a building or in other wet environments.

    2. Attach a 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) OD sample tubing to the flow block sample inlet fitting on the Ultima X Gas monitor (FIGURE 1-1). Ensure tubing is compatible with the sampled gas. 3. Route the sample tubing to the area to be monitored.

  • Page 19: Exhaust Line Placement

    5. Install the provided end-of-line filter at the end of the sampling tubing, if applicable. 6. Check for leaks along the entire length of the sample tubing line. Any leak will dilute the gas sample from the area of interest and give a lower than actual gas reading.

  • Page 20: Electrical Connection

    A flow detector within the Aspirated Sampling Module activates a relay when sufficient flow exists for proper gas detection. Generally, the Ultima X Gas Monitor output signal is routed through this relay. When the flow is insufficient, the relay opens and the gas signal is interrupted.

  • Page 21: Warning

    • If unit is an explosion-proof model: • Remove and discard the cable grip threaded into the enclosure. • Follow National Electrical and local procedural Codes. 3. If not using the attached wiring harness: a. Remove the top cover of the Sampling Module by rotating the cover counter-clockwise.

  • Page 22: Initial Start-Up

    Consult equip- ment instruction manual for further details. All instruments must be returned to normal operation when Aspirated Sampling Module and Ultima X Gas Monitor adjustments are completed. 4. Before applying compressed air to the Aspirated Sampling Module compressed air inlet: a.
  • Page 23 5. Apply the compressed air to the compressed air inlet of the Aspirated Sampling Module at 20 to 25 psig (137 to 172 kPa). 6. Pull out the red locking ring and adjust the knob on the air regulator to obtain a reading of 10 psig (90 kPa). 7.

  • Page 27: Chapter 4, Maintenance And Troubleshooting Guidelines

    Chapter 4, Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guidelines Maintenance The Aspirated Sampling Module requires minimal maintenance. However, the filters need routine inspection and possible replacement. It is good practice to have on hand replacement filters to minimize any down time of your unit (see TABLE 4-2). Filter Maintenance Filter maintenance consists of visual inspection of the two filters, end-of-line filter and the in-line filter which blocks water from entering...
