1 - I NTRODUCTION SpectraSensors’ SS2100 products are high-speed, diode-laser based extractive analyzers designed for extremely reliable monitoring of very low (trace) to standard concentrations of specific components in various background gases. In order to operate the analyzer safely, it is important to closely review all information contained in this manual.
Headquartered in Houston, Texas, SpectraSensors was incorporated in 1999 as a spin-off of the NASA/Caltech Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for the purpose of commercializing space-proven measurement technologies initially developed at JPL. SpectraSensors was acquired by the Endress+Hauser Group in 2012. Manufacturer Address SpectraSensors, Inc.

Intended Equipment Use The SS2100 analyzer is intended for use as instructed in the documentation package provided with the equipment. SpectraSensors recommends that the qualified technician read and reference the documentation when installing, operating or having direct contact with the SS2100 analyzer.
SS2100 Analyzer Hazards may vary by stream composition. One or more of the following conditions may apply. Flammable. Gases used in the processing of this analyzer may be extremely flammable. Any work in a hazardous area must be carefully controlled to avoid creating any possible ignition sources (e.g., heat, arcing, sparking, etc.).
General Safety Information FUNCTIONAL EARTH GROUND - Symbol indicates grounding points intended primarily for troubleshooting. INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION - Avoid CAUTION exposure to beam. Class 3b Radiation Product. CLASS 3B INVISIBLE LASER Refer servicing to the manufacturer or qualified RADIATION WHEN OPEN personnel.

SS2100 Analyzer potential hazards within this document. The user is responsible for identifying and mitigating any potential hazards present when servicing the analyzer. Personnel Responsibility The safety of the analyzer is the responsibility of the installer and the organization he/she represents. Mitigating risks Refer to the instructions for each situation listed below to mitigate associated risks.
General Safety Information Explosion/fire hazard Any work in a hazardous area must be carefully controlled to avoid creating any possible ignition sources (e.g., heat, arcing, sparking, etc.). All tools must be appropriate for the area and hazards present. Electrical connections must not be made or broken with power on (to avoid arcing).

3 - E QUIPMENT NSTALLATION The information in this chapter is related to safety during the equipment installation. SpectraSensors Class 1 Division II analyzers use a non-incendive protection method, and as such all portions of the local installation codes apply. The maximum allowed inductance to resistance ratio (L/R ratio) for the field wiring interface must be less than 25 µH/Ω.
SS2100 Analyzer conduit runs. Always carry the load using one of the following points/methods (refer to the drawings included with the purchased SS2100 analyzer model): • Mounting points on Unistrut frame • Cross members on Unistrut frame • Support beneath instrument (best used when employing a forklift) Ensure all equipment used for lifting/moving the analyzer is rated for the weight load.
Equipment Installation A switch or circuit breaker must not interrupt a protective earth conductor. Thread lubricant must be applied on all conduit hub threaded connections. SpectraSensors recommends using STL8 lubricant on all conduit screw thread and it’s taped openings. Protective Chassis and Ground Connections Before connecting any electrical signal or power, the protective and chassis grounds must be connected.
SS2100 Analyzer Process samples may contain hazardous material in potentially flammable and/or toxic concentrations. Personnel should have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the physical properties and safety precautions for the sample contents before installing the SCS. SpectraSensors recommends using 1/4” O.D x 0.035” wall thickness, seamless stainless steel tubing.
Equipment Installation 6. Fully ream all tubing ends. Blow out the line for 10 to 15 seconds with clean, dry nitrogen or air prior to making the connection. 7. Connect the sample supply tube to the SCS using the 1/4” stainless steel compression-type fitting provided.

Equipment Operation Intermittent Operation To isolate the measurement cell for short‐term shutdown The analyzer can be isolated from the primary sample bypass section for short- term shutdown or maintenance of the analyzer while allowing the sample bypass flow to continue in a steady-state mode. Due to the high pressure of the process sample, it is advisable to allow the sample bypass flow to continue during short-term isolation of the analyzer.

SS2100 Analyzer Although the pressure reducing regulator at the process sample tap is designed for “bubble-tight” shut off, this condition may not occur after the system has been in operation for an extended period. Isolation of the SCS from the field pressure regulator will discontinue sample flow and may cause the pressure at the outlet of the field pressure regulator to slowly increase if “bubble-tight”...
5 - M AINTENANCE AND ERVICE This chapter provides safety information for the maintenance and service of the SS2100 analyzer. Potentially Hazardous Substances SS2100 analyzers that detect H S can acquire leaks that lead to unsafe amounts of toxic gas. Refer to “Mitigating risks” on page 2-6. Disposal of hazardous substances Depleted H S scrubbers and scrubber indicators contain...
