1. Insert the pre-swaged ferrule into the fitting until the front ferrule seats in the fitting. 2. Tighten snug by hand or lightly seat the nut using a wrench. Using a wrench, tighten an additional 1/4 turn. 1-4 | Model 120HD Hydrogen Analyzer...
repositioning the Gas Inlet/Outlet Connections You can change the orientation of both the sample gas inlet and outlet from horizontal. 1. Locate the Swagelok fitting near the IN /OUT labels on the right-hand side of the unit. 2. Loosen the Swagelok fitting and rotate it to the new position.
Electrical Installation Installing the Battery The Model 120HD operates on power supplied by (1) 6V No. 521 Energizer Industrial Alkaline Lantern Battery. Follow the instruc- tions below to install the battery. Turn Knob 1 to the OFF position. Loosen the two thumbscrews on the front left-hand panel so that you can open the door to the battery compartment.

replacing the Battery 1. Turn Knob 1 to the OFF position. 2. Loosen the two thumbscrews on the front left-hand panel so that you can open the door to the battery compartment. Slide the door off its hinges by lifting upward for easier access to the battery compartment. 3.
Electrical Circuit The Model 120HD analyzer’s electronic circuits include five power supplies, a linearization circuit, a digital display, and the hydrogen sensor. Power Supplies The circuit requires five power supplies: +5V, -5V, +1.25 and -1.25 V, and a 120 mA constant current source.
SPECIFICATIONS Operating range: 0 to 25% hydrogen in water-saturated air. Accuracy: ±4% full scale (± 1% H response Time: < 1 minute for 90% step change. repeatability: ± 2% full scale (±0.5% H Environment: Ambient Temperature: 50 to 100°F relative Humidity: 0% to 100%, relative Sample Gas Flow rate: 50 ml/min...
120 hours minimum with backlight. (Analyzer can be used until unable to set to 120.0.) Power Drain: 210 mA, 6V (with backlight) 170 mA, 6V (without backlight) Weight: Less than 15 lb with battery. 2-2 | Model 120HD Hydrogen Analyzer...
OPErATION Initial Start-Up The 120HD analyzer has a backlit digital display. When Knob 1 is turned to the SET position or to the second TEST position there is an icon of a light bulb that indicates that the display screen will be backlit when NOTE using these functions.
5. The digital readout should settle at 0.0 within five minutes. If it does Front display with not, adjust the Electrical Zero Adjust Screw #4 (Figure 3-1) until the adjustment knobs. reading is 00.0. The 120HD is now ready to analyze a gas sample. 3-2 | Model 120HD Hydrogen Analyzer...
Analyzing a Gas Sample Hydrogen gas is flammable, and in a mixture with air concentrations above 4% - 5%, it is explosive. Vent the gas from the outlet to a safe area - outdoors, if possible. Always make sure the workplace is well- ventilated.
