Single Gas Analyzer (SGA) Operations Manual Introduction SSi provides single gas analysis technology for use in heat treating and other production environments. This manual covers the following product line used for the analysis of single gas composition: Single Gas Analyzer (SGA). The SGA includes a color touch screen and detection cell with intelligent electronics contained in a metal enclosure designed for rugged industrial environments.
The Read/Write Registers page gives access to the underlying Modbus registers of the SGA. This page is primarily intended for testing and troubleshooting purposes. Please contact SSi before attempting to make any changes to the settings on this page. Network Configuration section on page 30. The network configuration is described in this section.

If you are unable to find the unit in the list of devices, it is possible that a network setting (such as subnet mask) may be different, the unit may be connected to a different network, or the unit may not be powered on. SSi recommends consulting an IT engineer or network administrator. If needed, call SSi at (513) 772-0060.

Single Gas Analyzer (SGA) Operations Manual Chart Sub Menu There is a sub-menu available by putting a finger or a stylus anywhere on the chart and holding it there for two seconds. The sub-menu will have the following options available: Zoom, Restore, Add Note, Data, and Exit.
Single Gas Analyzer (SGA) Operations Manual Pump Control (Menu Option) The Pump Control screen allows the user to turn the pump on or off. The current pump status will be displayed on the screen. To change the status, tap the “Set Pump” button, select “On” or “Off,”...
Single Gas Analyzer (SGA) Operations Manual H2 Flow: The value entered here will be used in nitriding calculations. Enter the applicable H2 flow in your system. CO2 Pres: (0-10) – Any value entered here will be used in place of the actual CO2 reading for internal calculations.
Single Gas Analyzer (SGA) Operations Manual Communications (Menu Option) The Communications option allows you to view and change the current IP Address, Mask, and Gateway for the SGA. To change this information, tap to highlight an item, then tap “Edit” and use the keyboard screen to enter desired information.
Single Gas Analyzer (SGA) Operations Manual Alarms Setup The Alarms option allows you to set lower and upper limits and assign actions to readings for the SGA. Tap to highligh the desired gas type. Then tap the appropriate buttons to enter a Lower Limit and an Upper Limit.
These outputs require calibration to ensure that the mA signal corresponds to a given output value (zero value for the lowest value and span value for the highest value). SSi recommends output calibration be performed on each output at least once per year, or as needed.
Single Gas Analyzer (SGA) Operations Manual 7. Let the unit output what it has set for the zero measurement, and note the reading on your attached measuring device. 8. Tap “Measured value (mA)” and tap the “Edit mA” button. 9. Enter the measured value and tap “OK.” 10.
Single Gas Analyzer (SGA) Operations Manual Zero Calibration Procedure 1. Connect the gas to the “Cal Gas Inlet” on the side of the SGA enclosure. It is recommended to let everything (gas and SGA) sit for approximately thirty minutes to allow the temperature to achieve equilibrium.
Single Gas Analyzer (SGA) Operations Manual Digital IO Card (Menu Option) The Digital IO Card menu displays Communication Status, Outputs, and Event Inputs. It also allows the user to set and reset outputs. Tap the Set Output button to turn on an output, or tap the Reset Output button to turn off an output.
Single Gas Analyzer (SGA) Operations Manual H2 Gas Display Settings This menu option allows you to adjust the SGA’s display options for H2. Simply tap an option to highlight it, then tap “Change” to bring up the available options. Tap to select your desired option, and tap “Select”...
Single Gas Analyzer (SGA) Operations Manual Control Interface via a Web Browser The SGA can be controlled using the touchscreen or a web browser on your computer. The web browser connects to the unit through an Ethernet connection. The computer you are using and the unit need to be on the same network with the same subnet mask.
Single Gas Analyzer (SGA) Operations Manual Instrument Information The Instrument Information screen provides basic information about the unit, including Desciption, Part #, Serial #, Sub Serial #, Main Version #, Sensor Version #, and Web Page Version #. This information can be useful for troubleshooting purposes. Super Systems Inc.

Single Gas Analyzer (SGA) Operations Manual Output Configuration The Output Configuration screen allows you to adjust output parameters for loops 1 and 2. For each loop, the following parameters can be adjusted: Source: A selected source: External or NDIR Gas. ...
These outputs require calibration to ensure that the mA signal corresponds to a given output value (zero value for the lowest value and span value for the highest value). SSi recommends output calibration be performed on each output at least once per year, or as needed.
Sensor Calibration To ensure accurate readings, the gas sensor must be calibrated at the low end and high end of the measured gas composition range. SSi recommends calibration be performed at least once per year, or as needed. Connect the gas to the “Cal Gas Inlet” on the side of the SGA enclosure and open the valve. It is recommended to let everything (gas and SGA) sit for approximately thirty minutes to allow the temperature to achieve equilibrium.
