    OVERVIEW Model ta Gas Purity Monitor Introduction The ta5000F Process Gas Analyzer is a trace level gas chromatograph capable of detecting ppb concentrations of contaminants in sample gas matrices. The system consists of a microprocessor controlled gas chro- matograph utilizing the Analytical Flame Ionization Detector (FID). Functional Overview In order to achieve specified performance, the ta5000F performs these primary functions:...

    bustion into H O and CO . The resultant electrons are collected to gener- ate a current signal. Higher hydrocarbons, those containing more than a single carbon group, generate additional CH Ions in proportion to the carbon number. As a result the theoretical sensitivity of the flame ioniza- tion detector to non-methane hydrocarbons is at least two times higher than methane.

  • Page 19: Analyzer Description

    ANALYZER DESCRIPTION Front Panel and User Interface The front panel of the ta5000F is where the user interface is found. The user interface is a combinationof the display screen and menu keys. The display screen shows information and options for running the ta5000F. The Menu Keys correlate to menu labels on the display screen and are used for all input to the operating system.
  • Page 20: Display Screen

    Rear Panel Display Screen The display screen is where the instrument displays all current informa- tion and options.The display is separated into three sections. The top section of the screen is the Status Bar. This is where the instru- ment displaysthe current status. This bar will also display which screen is currently selected, the time and date and other important Status informa- tion.
  • Page 21: Installation

    • Operating Manual • Accessories purchased with the ta5000F If any evidence of damage exists, immediately contact the shipping com- pany, save the original shipping container, and notify Ametek as soon as possible for consultation. Location and Environment 1. The area where the ta5000F Gas Analyzer is to be operated should be clean with minimum particulate matter and dust in the air.
  • Page 22: Electrical Preparations And Connections

    3. Have adequate ventilation around the instrument area without any high flow velocity draft directly onto the instrument. If a combustible gas stream is connected to the instrument it is essential to have proper vent- ing to avoid any possible explosion hazards. Be sure not to block any vent slots in the rear or top of the analyzer since limited air circulation will cause overheating and poor performance.
  • Page 23: Support Gas Utilities

    2. Use Cajon VCR fittings with gaskets to connect to UHP regulators. Do not use pipe thread fittings since they are not clean and are not leak-tight for Ametek’s trace gas analysis. Suggested Hardware for Gas Connections UHP Regulators for Carrier and Sample Gases Dual stage stainless steel, 0 to 150 psig outlet with gauges and 1/16-inch VICI female fittings.
  • Page 24: Damage Prevention

    Guidelines for Prevention of Damage PLEASE STUDY THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY BEFORE IN- STALLING OR OPERATING THE INSTRUMENT. CAUTION Carrier gas The RGD detectors can be destroyed if operated at temperature without flow. The carrier gas should remain flowing until all heated zones are below 50 C (2 to 3 hours).
  • Page 25: Installation Instructions

    CAUTION If any inconsistencies are encountered during installation, stop im- mediately. do not continue the installation without direction from Ametek customer service. CAUTION Tools Suggested for Installation All connections are made using U.S. standard size conectors.
  • Page 26: View Of Gas And Power Connections

    Connect Sample Gas The ta5000 analyzer can be used for process or single gas sample analysis. On-line process sample line should be connected to the “SAMPLE IN” 1/16 “ VICI fitting on the rear panel. Optimal results are achieved with constant flow rates (20-100 sccm).
