Part 2 – Analyzer / Air Pump Mounting General All Q45 Series instruments offer maximum mounting flexibility. A bracket is included with each unit that allows mounting to walls or pipes. In all cases, choose a location that is readily accessible for calibrations.
Part 2 – Analyzer/Air Pump Mounting Q45S/87 Wet H S Monitor System Wall or Pipe Mount A PVC mounting bracket with attachment screws is supplied with each transmitter (see Figure 4 for dimensions). The multi-purpose bracket is attached to the rear of the enclosure using the four flat head screws.
Part 2 – Analyzer/Air Pump Mounting Q45S/87 Wet H S Monitor System Panel Mount, AC Powered Monitor Panel mounting of an AC powered monitor uses the panel mounting flange molded into the rear section of the enclosure. Figure 7 provides dimensions for the panel cutout required for mounting.
25 ft. of tubing that should be cut to the desired length. A 5 ft. piece of 2 conductor cable is also supplied to interconnect the pump with the relay control in the Q45S/87 monitor. See Figure 8 for Junction Box dimensions. The junction box comes complete with mounting hardware for pipe or wall mounting identical to that used for the monitor enclosure.
Part 3 – Sensor Mounting General Select a location for the sensor on the side of the scrubber inlet or outlet duct. Do not mount the sensor on the bottom of a horizontal duct section. If the duct is horizontal, mount the sensor at about 45-60 degrees off of vertical.
Q45S/87 Wet H S Monitor System Part 3– Sensor Mounting Figure 10 shows an exploded view of the duct insertion assembly with the hydrogen sulfide sensor and cable assembly. To facilitate installation, disassemble the sensor system so that the front half of the holder can be screwed into the duct separately.
Q45S/87 Wet H S Monitor System Part 3– Sensor Mounting Sensor Prefilter Membrane On the front of the sensor holder is a membrane that serves as a sample prefilter to protect the sensor from deposits that could cause premature sensor failure. This membrane is held in place with a screw-on cap, and the membrane should be changed every 2 or 3 months to insure proper operation of the system.
Part 4 – Electrical Installation General The Q45 is powered from either 115 or 230 VAC, 50/60 cycle power. Please verify the type of unit before connecting any power. The power supply voltage is marked on the circuit board near the AC power connection terminals.
Part 4 – Electrical Installation Q45S/87 Wet H S Monitoring System The analog outputs from the system are present at terminals TB1 and TB2. The loop-load limitation in this configuration is 500 Ohms maximum for each output. Also note that these two outputs are completely isolated from each other to insure that ground loops do not result from the connection of both outputs to the same device such as a PLC or DCS.
Part 4 – Electrical Installation Q45S/87 Wet H S Monitoring System Figure 12 - Pump Interconnect Connection Two sets of SPDT relay contacts are provided on the power supply board. None of the relay contacts are powered. The user must supply the proper power to the contacts. For applications that require the same switched operating voltage as the Q45 (115 or 230 V), power may be jumpered from the power input terminals at TB5.
Part 4 – Electrical Installation Q45S/87 Wet H S Monitoring System Sensor Wiring The sensor cable can be quickly connected to the Q45 terminal strip by matching the wire colors on the cable to the color designations on the label in the monitor. Route signal cable away from AC power lines, adjustable frequency drives, motors, or other noisy electrical signal lines.
Part 4 – Electrical Installation Q45S/87 Wet H S Monitoring System Cord-grips used for sealing the cable should be snugly tightened after electrical connections have been made to prevent moisture incursion. When stripping cables, leave adequate length for connections in the transmitter enclosure as shown below. The standard 25 ft. sensor cable normally supplied with the system is already stripped and ready for wiring.
Part 5 – Configuration User Interface The user interface for the Q45 Series instrument consists of a custom display and a membrane keypad. All functions are accessed from this user interface (no internal jumpers, pots, etc.). RELAY 4-DIGIT INDICATOR MAIN DISPLAY MENU ICONS MENU ICONS SIGN...
Part 5 – Configuration Q45S/87 Wet H S Monitoring System 5.11 Keys All user configurations occur through the use of four membrane keys. These keys are used as follows: MENU/ESC To scroll through the menu section headers or to escape from anywhere in software.
Part 5 – Configuration Q45S/87 Wet H S Monitoring System Icon Area The icon area contains display icons that assist the user in set-up and indicate important states of system functions. The CAL, CONFIG, and DIAG icons are used to tell the user what branch of the software tree the user is in while scrolling through the menu items.
Part 5 – Configuration Q45S/87 Wet H S Monitoring System 5.21 Software Navigation Within the CAL, CONFIG, CONTROL, and DIAG menu sections is a list of selectable items.

Part 5 – Configuration Q45S/87 Wet H S Monitoring System 5.22 Measure Menu [MEASURE] The default menu for the system is the display-only menu MEASURE. This menu is a display-only measurement menu, and has no changeable list items. When left alone, the instrument will automatically return to this menu after approximately 30 minutes.
Part 5 – Configuration Q45S/87 Wet H S Monitoring System 5.23 Calibration Menu [CAL] The calibration menu contains items for frequent calibration of user parameters. There are three items in this list: Cal Sulfide, Cal Temp. and Set Range. The sulfide calibration function allows the user to adjust the transmitter span reading to match a reference solution, or to set the sensor zero point.

Part 5 – Configuration Q45S/87 Wet H S Monitoring System The STN display provides the highest possible contrast and widest viewing angle under all conditions. Contrast control of this type of display is generally not necessary, so contrast control is provided as a means for possible adjustment due to aging at extreme ranges.
Part 5 – Configuration Q45S/87 Wet H S Monitoring System *Relay B Mode Relay B in the Q45S is used to activate the air-wash system meant to remove condensation from the sensor. This relay is set to CLn1 (factory default). Do not change the factory setting for this relay without first consulting ATI or your ATI representative.

Part 5 – Configuration Q45S/87 Wet H S Monitoring System The entry value is limited to a value within the range specified in “Set Range”, and the 0% and the 100% point must be separated by at least 1% of this range Use the LEFT arrow key to select the first digit to be modified.
Part 5 – Configuration Q45S/87 Wet H S Monitoring System This function establishes the hysteresis, or “deadband”, for Relay A. *A Hysteresis Hysteresis is most often used to control relay chattering; however, it may also be used in control schemes to separate the ON/OFF trip points of the relay.
Part 5 – Configuration Q45S/87 Wet H S Monitoring System Figure 19 is a visual description of a typical alarm relay application. When value rises to ≥ 1.000 ppm, relay When value falls to < 1.000 ppm, relay closes, until value falls back to < 0.950 ppm.

Part 5 – Configuration Q45S/87 Wet H S Monitoring System Fail Out This function enables the user to define a specified value that the main current output will go to under fault conditions. When the Relay Option Board is installed, the display will read Fail Out #1. When enabled to ON, the output may be forced to the current value set in Fail Val (next item.) With the Fail Out setting of ON, and a Fail Val setting of 6.5 mA,...
Part 6 – Calibration Calibration Once power is applied, the H S sensor must be given time to stabilize. This is best done by following the zeroing procedure below. Establishing a stable zero is critical to the proper operation of the monitor. A complete calibration will include zeroing and spanning the sensor. 6.11 Zero Cal Hydrogen Sulfide sensors have fairly low offset currents at zero.
Part 6 – Calibration Q45S/87 Wet H S Monitoring System The sensor zero offset value in nA from the last zero calibration is displayed on the lower line of the Default Menus for information purposes. 6.12 Span Cal Span calibration is done using compressed gas hydrogen sulfide standards. These standards are available from ATI or from a variety of specialty gas suppliers.
Part 6 – Calibration Q45S/87 Wet H S Monitoring System Temperature Calibration The temperature calibration sequence is essentially a 1-point offset calibration that allows adjustments of approximately ±5 °C. The sensor temperature may be calibrated on line, or the sensor can be removed from the process and placed into a known solution temperature reference.
Part 7 – PID Controller Details PID Description PID control, like many other control schemes, are used in chemical control to improve the efficiency of chemical addition or control. By properly tuning the control loop that controls chemical addition, only the amount of chemical that is truly required is added to the system, saving money.

Part 7 – PID Controller Details Q45H/86 Air-Stripping Dissolved Ozone System The most notable feature of the algorithm is the fact the proportional gain term affects all components directly (unlike some other algorithms - like the “series” form.) If a pre-existing controller utilizes the same form of the algorithm shown above, it is likely similar settings can for made if the units on the settings are exactly the same.
Part 7 – PID Controller Details Q45H/86 Air-Stripping Dissolved Ozone System If it appears that even large amounts of integral gain (>20) don’t appreciably increase the desired response, drop I back to about 1.0, and increase P by 1.00, and start increasing I again. In most chemical control schemes, I will be approximately 3 times the value of P.
Page 43
Part 7 – PID Controller Details Q45H/86 Air-Stripping Dissolved Ozone System The easiest process’ to control with closed-loop schemes are generally linear, and symmetrical, in nature. For example, controlling level in tank where the opening of valve for a fixed period of time corresponds linearly to the amount that flows into a tank.
Part 8 – System Maintenance General The Q45S/87 Wet Hydrogen Sulfide System will generally provide unattended operation over long periods of time. With proper care, the system should continue to provide measurements indefinitely. For reliable operation, maintenance on the system must be done on a regular schedule.
Part 9 – Troubleshooting General The information included in this section is intended to be used in an attempt to quickly resolve an operational problem with the system. During any troubleshooting process, it will save the most time if the operator can first determine if the problem is related to the analyzer, sensor, or some external source.
Q45S/87 Wet H S Monitoring System Part 9 - Troubleshooting Analyzer Tests 1. Disconnect power and completely disconnect all output wiring coming from the analyzer. Remove sensor wiring, relay wiring, and analog output wiring. Re-apply power to the analyzer. 2. Using the Simulate feature, check operation of analog outputs and relays with a DMM.
