    5910 MOISTURE ANALYZER Overview The Model 5910 Moisture Analyzer measures trace concentrations of moisture in ultra- high purity gases such as air, oxygen, hydrogen, helium, argon, neon, nitrogen, and xenon using a quartz crystal microbalance sensor. Calibrated range is 0 to 150 parts-per- billion by volume (PPBV) with a trend indication for measured concentrations above the calibrated range.

  • Page 14: Controller / Communications

    One RS-232 or one RS-485 serial interface provide communication be- tween the analyzer and your recording or data acquisition equipment. The 5910 analyzer is configured, and analyzer parameters are set, by using either the analyzer display, keypad and function keys, or using an external PC.

  • Page 15: Moisture Sensor

    Gas Flow Controlling the gas flow rate The 5910 Moisture Analyzer gas flow is controlled by a mass flow controller and a pres- sure regulator/orifice. The mass flow controller is located in the reference gas leg of the sample system. A microprocessor reads the total gas flow at the exhaust and adjusts the pressure regulator to maintain a constant total flow.

    Sample gas measurement (Figure 1-3) The sample gas enters the analyzer through the gas inlet and flows through the first dia- phragm valve (DV1). The flow then splits. One half of the sample gas continues through the “sample” leg. It passes through the pressure regulator which is computer-controlled.

  • Page 20 5900 analyzers is estimated to reach 10% (i.e., a 2 PPBV change at 20 PPBV) after 45 months of service. Even though the QCM-based moisture analyzers are extremely stable, AMETEK recom- mends that you check the calibration of the analyzer every three years. This performance check should be handled as part of the normal maintenance schedule for the equipment.

    Special Addresses Addresses $F0 through $FF are reserved for special functions with address $F0 used as a broadcast address. Address $F0 Node address $F0 is used as a single point address, i.e. it is intended for use in configura- tions with a single slave. The slave will respond to all messages with node address $F0. You must be careful to prevent multiple slaves from receiving commands with the broad- cast address as this will cause a bus contention.
