OPM 3000 - Ordering Information . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . page 1-7
A typical Rosemount Analytical OPM 3000 Opacity/Dust Density Monitor
should contain the items shown in Figure 1-1. Sheet 1 shows the assembly on
the transceiver side, and sheet 2 shows the assembly on the retro reflector
side. Items on the mounting panel are factory installed and come as shown.
Figure 1-2 shows the transceiver assembly with the optional stainless steel
weather cover.
Due to the availability of optional accessories, the system package will vary.
Use the product matrix, in Table , to compare your order number against your
unit. The first part of the matrix defines the model. The last part defines the
various options and features of the OPM 3000. Ensure the features and
options specified by your order number are on or included with the unit.
The OPM 3000 Opacity/Dust Density Monitor provides continuous, low
maintenance, precision measurement of opacity and optical density in
industrial applications. It is a cost-effective instrument that serves as an aid in
operating pollution and/or process control equipment.
Opacity refers to the amount of light being scattered or absorbed by particles
in the light beam path. An opacity or dust density transmitter (also called a
transmissometer) measures the particulate level of stack emissions. One of
the most common reasons for measuring opacity is to comply with
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or other national requirements.
Federal regulations for new emission sources and many state regulations for
both new and existing sources specify maximum limits for stack emission
opacity.
A transmissometer can be used in a variety of applications. Those
applications include monitoring the efficiency of emission control systems,
detecting broken bags in baghouses, and determining the time rapping cycles
for electrostatic precipitators. Another application is to gauge the
effectiveness of injecting flue gas conditioning agents used to improve
electrostatic precipitator performance.
