A xenon flash lamp is utilized as the source for the ultraviolet and visible regions. The collimated beam from the xenon lamp travels through the measuring cell. There are several styles of measuring cells for the IPS-4 (see Figure 5-2). When an application requires sensitivity at shorter wave- lengths, UV-grade fused silica windows are used.

All regulatory agency and personnel safety procedures for your jurisdiction must be followed. The IPS-4 Analyzer is certified with regard to electrical safety for Pollution Degree 2 (normally nonconductive environmental pollution WARNING occurs with occasional condensation) and Installation Category II (lo- cal level transients, less than those found at power distribution level).
Pre-Installation Requirements Storage Prior to Installation If the analyzer is stored for any period of time prior to installation, it must be housed in a temperature-controlled environment where it is not sub- ject to dripping or splashing liquids, corrosive gases/liquids, high humid- ity, or excessive heat or cold.
• A supply of 1/4” O.D. 316 stainless steel tubing for the Instrument Air (or N ) and Span fluid lines. Length will vary, depending on the distance between the analyzer and the supply source. Supplied by the customer. 3-4 | IPS-4 Analyzer...
Information” section of this manual and the Documentation Pack- age shipped with the analyzer. Location and Environment The IPS-4 Analyzer is designed for operation in environments classified “Pollution Degree 2” per IEC 61010, so it must be shielded from conduc- tive pollution and subject to only temporary condensation.

The surrounding ambient temperature of the analyzer should be main- tained between -20 °C to +50 °C (-4 °F to +122 °F). If the analyzer system is mounted within an AMETEK-designed shelter, these conditions are taken into consideration in the design of shelter.
“Supplemental Information” section of this manual or the Documentation Package shipped with the analyzer for installation infor- mation. If the Sample Probe/Sample Tap is not supplied by AMETEK, refer to the information and drawings shipped with the probe.
Connecting I/O Signals, Alarm Relay Contacts, and AC Power The analog input/output signals, alarm relay contacts, and AC power requirements are specific to each analyzer installation. For AC electrical supply cable and conduit requirements, refer to – and comply with – local wiring regulations and electrical codes for the area.
100 m, special requirements may be necessary. Con- tact your network administrator for information. For systems using a permanent Ethernet connection, a ferrite core (Part Number 301-1044, supplied by AMETEK) must be installed on the Ethernet cable (supplied by customer), inside the Electronics NOTE Enclosure.

Purge the sample system with Zero fluid. Purge the measuring Cell for at least 1 minute or until cell as been flushed and the reading has stabilized (which ever is longer). Typically, the IPS-4 Analyzer controls the zero flow rate; no adjust- ments are required. NOTE If the customer provides the sample system zero, run the manual zero at a flow rate of 2.5 L/minute (0.08 scfm).
AMETEK recommends that you observe and record this information every month to obtain a history. From these recordings, you will be able to determine if there are problems with the analyzer, such as increasing sample response.

Installing the Optical Bench Assembly After the analyzer has been installed, the Optical Bench Assembly can be mounted in the Electronics Enclosure. All electrical connections to the Optical Bench Assembly are made via pre-wired connector plugs (no hard wiring is required). Ensure there is no power being supplied to the analyzer while install- ing the Optical Bench Assembly.

MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING The Maintenance & Troubleshooting chapter discusses preventive main- tenance to keep the analyzer system operating at peak efficiency, how to check for plugging in the analyzer sample system, and how to replace internal parts. This chapter also discusses how to view alarm messages to diagnose and troubleshoot problems with the analyzer.
Preventive Maintenance To reduce the occurrence of problems with the analyzer, AMETEK recom- mends that you follow the “Analyzer Preventive Maintenance Schedule,” as outlined in the following pages. Since most analyzer problems originate within the sample handling system, the primary objective of the preven- tive maintenance schedule is proper care of the sample system.
Analyzer Preventive Maintenance Schedule Frequency Task As required Clean the Analyzer Cleaning the exterior of the analyzer is required occasionally to re- move dust and other debris. Use a damp cloth to clean the analyz- er’s exterior, including the User Interface Panel screen. Daily Check for Alarms To view alarms, press the...

Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) with the analyzer operating as a slave device. The IPS-4 Analyzer supports RS485 serial communication standards. The physical communication connection between a Model IPS-4 analyzer and a customer DCS\SCADA\PLC\DAS or a general-purpose computer is RS485.
Make sure that you rebooted the analyzer after changing the MBUS- PORT parameter value to 1. NOTE When designing a Modbus RS485 multi-drop communication system with the Model IPS-4 analyzer, the system designer should consider the follow- ing: • Analyzer primary output is moisture concentration and analyzer sta- tus codes.
Analyzer Modbus Interface Parameters A number of analyzer Modbus interface parameters need to be set up in order to establish communication with the Modbus master. These pa- rameters are accessed via the service port on the analyzer using a service program running on a PC.
