The DOD64-FTIR system can be configured with a maximum of 4 manifolds and each manifold has 16 sample points. Gas detection and analysis occurs in the DOD64’s Interferometer located above the pump panel within the service door.
Exhaust ports are located on the right-side panel of the DOD64-FTIR and are also labeled. Each sample line should be extended a maximum of 400 ft. and each exhaust line should be extended a maximum of 25 ft.
2.1.1 Warning Labels, Descriptions, & Danger Zones The below table references all warning labels and their meanings that may be encountered while operating and servicing the DOD64-FTIR gas detection system. WARNING: Hot Surface. This surface will be hot to touch and may cause injury. Please avoid or take caution when working near this zone.
2.2 Touch Screen Display The DOD64-FTIR features a 19”, full color, LCD touch screen display, enhancing the presentation and visibility of data. All DOD64-FTIR menus and data points are accessible through this state-of-the-art HMI. (Figure 2.1). The display also offers the ability to use USB type mouse and keyboard during data analysis.
FTIR Manual 2.5 FTIR Interferometer The DOD64-FTIR features an MKS MCT Detector or Perk & Elmer DTGS detector. The MKS detector comes with a patented 400ml IR cell with a 10-meter optical path and an internal cooling system. This design allows a fast sampling time that leads to reduced total time for analysis.
FTIR Manual 2.10 Service Areas The service areas allow easy access to the valves, manifolds, pumps, power supply, and the interferometer. Figure 2.3 shows the internal layout with the service areas open. Service areas are equipped with a lock to restrict internal access.
The DOD64-FTIR uses a USB Memory or a Solid-State Drive to store historical information including concentration logging, event history, configuration information, and spectra files. The use of higher speed USB Memory Sticks (2x, etc.) may not be compatible with the DOD64-FTIR. USB Memory Sticks may be purchased through DOD Technologies – see Appendix A.
The front opening panel door is designed to be used as ramp to roll the system out of the crate (see installation package for details). The DOD64-FTIR rests on four rollers which can be locked in place and bolted to the floor if necessary.
3.2 Sample Tubing Sample tubing is connected to the DOD64-FTIR on the top the unit. All sample tubes require 1/4” OD x 3/16” ID Teflon FEP (400 ft max length) which may be purchased from DOD Technologies, INC (See Appendix A).
The standard output modules included with the system require an external 24V supply connected to the DOD64-FTIR to supply power for the outputs. Use only AWG22 to AWG18 twisted wire (wire sizes UL1015 and UL1007) Strip from 0.25” to 0.31” (6.5mm to 8.0mm) from each wire to insert into the connector. To connect the wires to the spring-loaded output connector: •...
Chapter 4 – Setup & Configuration 4.1 Touch Screen Calibration After powering on the DOD64-FTIR, the machine will display a crosshair in each corner of the screen. Press the center of each crosshair to configure the touchscreen. Without the correct calibration of the screen and touch function will not work correctly.
5.2 General Machine Operation When the DOD64-FTIR is powered on it will begin with the initialization screen which is followed by a countdown (figure 5.1). The machine will then go into analysis and display the analysis screen. If the operator touches the ‘SETUP MODE’...
FTIR Manual Figure 5.1 The touchscreen on the DOD64-FTIR is used for all configuration and control of the unit. Analysis mode is active by default approximately two minutes after power on unless an operator intervenes. At this point the DOD64-FTIR is designed to continuously monitor for gas. Various tasks can be completed while remaining in analysis, including viewing faults/events, concentration history, individual spectra files and TWA logs, or checking point configuration and flow limits.

If more than one analyzer is installed, additional points can be viewed by pressing the left and right buttons at the top left of the screen.
Page 21
FTIR Manual The status of each point is reported as it changes. Yellow indicates the point is being prepared for analysis. Blue indicates the point is being analyzed. Grey indicates the point is being purged of remaining gas from a previous window.

FTIR Manual Select the blue checkbox in order to display the calibration spectra for the chosen gas. The blue line shows the unique calibration spectra for the gas, while the red line shows the most recent full spectra analysis scan. When the spectra viewer is LIVE, the red spectra line will always show the spectra from the most recent analysis scan and change as each scan ends.
FTIR Manual 5.2.1 Faults and Events Figure 5.3 Pressing the Faults/Events tab at the top of the Analysis screen will display the Faults/Events screen (figure 5.3), allowing you to view a detailed history of the machine’s faults and/or events. You may select any day on the calendar to view a log of that day’s events.
To return to the main analysis screen, select close. The DOD64-FTIR will remain in the analysis mode while viewing this screen and the concentration log can also be accessed from the Setup > History menu.
5.3 Setup Menu Entering the Setup Menu will end analysis and the DOD64-FTIR will no longer be actively monitoring the environment for gases. Touching the Setup button at the top of the analysis screen will bring you to the Setup menu and automatically display the Adjust Flow screen.
