Achtung - Heiße Oberfläche Environmental Information (WEEE) This AMETEK product contains materials that can be reclaimed and recycled. In some cases the product may contain materials known to be hazardous to the environment or human health. In order to prevent the release of harmful substances into the environment and to conserve our natural resources, AMETEK recommends that you arrange to recycle this product when it reaches its “end of life.”...
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Read and follow the recommendations in this section to avoid performance variations or dam- age to the internal circuits of this equipment when installed in harsh electrical environments. CAUTION The various configurations of the 3050 should not produce, or fall victim to, electromagnetic disturbances as specified in the European Union’s EMC Directive.
Sec 501.4(b) or CEC 18-152) and in accordance with the authority having jurisdiction. If the 3050 is to be powered by a source of 24 VDC other than that supplied by AMETEK, the power source’s output must be isolated from hazardous mains voltages using double or reinforced insu- lation which has a minimum dielectric strength of 2300 VAC.
Overview The 3050 Moisture Analyzer is a smart sensor that measures trace concen- trations of moisture in a process gas stream. At the heart of the 3050-DO Analyzer is a 3050-OLV, which has been modified for operation at mois- ture concentrations below 100 ppbv. The 3050 is compatible with He,...

For enhanced interface and process monitoring, AMETEK offers optional System 2000 Software with graphical user inter- face to record and process your data in a Windows 95/NT format. User provided software may also be used with the 3050 serial ports.
The sensor saver mode extends the life of the sensor, but provides slower response time. The analyzer updates every 2.5 minutes instead of 1 min- ute; however, the analyzer still responds within specifications. Refer to analyzer specifications on page 2-3. 1-4 | AMETEK 3050-DO Moisture Analyzer...

3. Turn on the analyzer and wait for the analyzer to control the oven tempera- ture at around 60 degrees Celsius. 4. Then click on the Flow Adjust button from the Monitor tab. Wait a few minutes for the analyzer to control the flow. After a few minutes, the text field labeled External will unlock as shown in Figure 4-11a. Enter the value displayed on the external flow meter and click the Update button. Figure 4-11a. Flow Adjust Screen. 4-14 | 3050-DO Moisture Analyzer...

The External field will lock again and the configurator will calculate a new Flow Span and send it to the analyzer. Then the analyzer will attempt to control the flow again and when it’s done, the External field will unlock again. You can repeat this process until the value of the Internal flow meter matches the external flow meter. When calibration is complete press OK, to return to the Monitor tab. Figure 4-11b.

(PI-MBUS-300 RevJ). The Modbus protocol transmission mode imple- mented is Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) with the analyzer operating as a slave device. The AMETEK 3050 analyzer supports both RS485 and RS232 serial com- munication standards. The physical communication connection between a Model 3050 analyzer and a customer DCS\SCADA\PLC\DAS or a general-purpose computer is RS485 or RS232.

HOLDING REGISTERS Since the RAM space on the analyzers is limited and not every customer’s DCS\SCADA\DAS\PLC supports Modbus floating point value transfer, floating point values that are commonly accessed on a Model 3050 ana- lyzer are scaled and converted into integer values to load into Modbus registers for transmission.
