MRU Instruments, Inc. USER MANUAL AMPRO 2000 / OPTIMA 7 9.4 Configuration of measurement program (Flue gas measurements) Select one of the 4 configurable measurement programs. For each of the programs the following parameters can be configured: • CO ppm limit: adjustable value for the CO sensor protection. If the CO value in the flue gas is higher than the adjusted value in the analyzer, the purge pump will be activated and the sensor will be protected against high CO concentrations.
MRU Instruments, Inc. USER MANUAL AMPRO 2000 / OPTIMA 7 9.4.2 Fuel type selection and O reference Each time you start a measurement program you can select a fuel type from the fuel type short list. This short list is linked to the measurement program and can be configured as a sub set of fuel types from the total fuel type list.
MRU Instruments, Inc. USER MANUAL AMPRO 2000 / OPTIMA 7 9.4.3 User definable fuel types Here, four fuels are adjusted individually. The name as well as the parameters are adjustable. As the other fuel types, they can be pre-selected or left out.

MRU Instruments, Inc. USER MANUAL AMPRO 2000 / OPTIMA 7 11.8 Power ON and zeroing Press the ON key. The analyzer will start zeroing without any further action from the user. The probe shall NOT be installed in the stack during zeroing!
USER MANUAL AMPRO 2000 / OPTIMA 7 12 HOW TO TAKE A MEASUREMENT Every AMPRO 2000 is capable of making a complete flue gas measurement. How to perform this is described below. The description of other optional available measurement programs can be read in the appendix or in additional flyers.
MRU Instruments, Inc. USER MANUAL AMPRO 2000 / OPTIMA 7 12.2 Core flow search Before using the core flow search it must be switched-ON: OK . The core flow search will help you to find the optimal measurement point in the stack. The core flow can be identified by the maximum flue gas temperature.
MRU Instruments, Inc. USER MANUAL AMPRO 2000 / OPTIMA 7 12.3 Measured Value Display After the core flow search you will see the measurement values on the display. Measurement values can be organized on three pages, each page displaying 6 measurement val- ues.
USER MANUAL AMPRO 2000 / OPTIMA 7 12.4 Non-continous draft measurement The AMPRO 2000 provides for a non-continous draft measurement. The draft measurement is disabled when a maximum time after zeroing has elapsed or a significant change in temperature has been detected by the instrument. The maximum time is configured to 10 minutes.
MRU Instruments, Inc. USER MANUAL AMPRO 2000 / OPTIMA 7 12.5 CO purging (optional)(not possible with CO2 IR sensor) When the CO ppm limit is reached the analyzer will start the CO purging pump to protect the CO sensor from getting saturated with CO. Other values will not be affected while the CO sensor is being purged.
MRU Instruments, Inc. USER MANUAL AMPRO 2000 / OPTIMA 7 12.7 Test program This test program is made for testing facilities that will test these analyzers with test gases and don’t need to make any modifications. In this program you will only see measured values and no calculated values at all.
USER MANUAL AMPRO 2000 / OPTIMA 7 12.9 Temporary buffer The AMPRO 2000 gives the possibility to set the momentary values into a temporary buffer during effecting and continuing the measurement. Later on, the values can be brought back from the temporary buffer to the measuring window in order to print them out or / and to save them 12.9.1 Set values into temporary buffer...
MRU Instruments, Inc. USER MANUAL AMPRO 2000 / OPTIMA 7 12.10 Storage the measuring results If in the function key bar "store" is indicated, you can store with the accompanying function key F2 or F3 the measurement in the data memory. The function of the data memory is explained in chap- ter 13.
