[Used to cancel the maintenance mode.] ② PW/TR light ‥ ‥ ……………… Illuminates continuously when the equipment is working (power light). And flickers in the case of abnormality in the equipment.
2. Operation method 2-1. Start-up method Before start-up FI-800, confirm that the correct pipings and wiring works are performed. (Refer to the separate manual 「Installation work manual」 for details.) (1) Confirm that the power is not supplied to the unit...
Confirm relations between 「reference gas」 and 「reference gas concentration」 with 「Specifications for measuring gas」 prepared separately. 2-3. Gas alarm action The FI-800 provides three alarm patterns such as 「H, HH alarm」, 「L, LL alarm」 and 「L.H. alarm」. Each alarm action has the 1...
! CAUTION b-contact( Break contact) at non-exiting condition may change to open contact in a moment due to physical shock. Whenever alarm signals are used with b-contact(option), please put delayed circuit( for about one second) to receiver side of b-contact to avoid such phenomenon.
Flashing CONT light This is a cautional indication for the decrease 1 2 of contrast. This means that the interferometric sensor is being dirty. Recommend to replace or repair it before interruption of measurement. Flashing 2-6. Trouble indications and countermeasures Display of error code number When the abnormality is detected during Flashing...
3.Operation method in maintenance mode 3-1 Maintenance mode and summery of each menu Maintenance mode of FI-800 is to make 「 Confirmation of the status for interferometric sensor」, 「Adjustment of 4~20mA output」 「Adjustment of sensor sensitivity」, 「Setting of alarm levels」 etc.
3-2. Contrast display of interferometric sensor Pressing the SET switch during is displayed, is displayed for about 1 second. 0.5 0 8 After that, CONT and AL1 lights turns ON as shown in right figure and contrast of interferometric sensor measured by light source 1 is displayed.
3-4. Adjustment of 4~20mA output Pressing SET switch while L 4.0 displayed, 4mA test signal is output as shown right figure. Pressing ▲▼switch, it changes to 20mA output. ▲▼switch When SET switch is pressed during 4mA or 20mA test signal output, LCD flashes and signal level can be adjusted with ▲▼switch.
3-6. Setting of alarm levels Pressing SET switch during is displayed, the alarm pattern of FI-800 is displayed. Under this condition, the 「1 alarm level」 and 「2 alarm level」 are shown with ▲▼switch. AL1 light and AL2 light turn on for 「1 alarm level」...
3-7. Alarm test It is possible to confirm alarm functions of this analyzer. ! CAUTION When make alarm(transmission) test, announce it to respective department beforehand as this analyzer has an alarm contact. Carry it out after making proper treatment (external signal output, alarm contact). ①...
3-8. Setting of AUTO REF CAL CYCLE(Option) Pressing SET switch during is displayed, auto reference calibration cycle is displayed. This is an optional function. The FI-800 which has no optional function is set to 「 ACC.0 」. Select 0~7 with ▲▼switch A C C.
4.Maintenance and inspection This analyzer is used to operate continuously for a long time. To keep the sufficient performance, regular inspection is required. - Maintenance contract - It is recommendable to make maintenance contract for regular inspection, adjustments, repairing including gas calibration to maintain stable operation and sensitivity.

<Monthly including daily inspection> Item Countermeasure Confirmation of Supply reference gas from GAS IN by changing the external reference gas level 3-way cock position and confirm that the reference gas level is indicated. If not, make “Reference gas calibration.” Confirmation of Make displays of contrast and light amount for interferometric deterioration for sensor.
(4) Supply the power source and confirm that the analyzer works in normal. 4-3. Treatment for storage or long-time shutdown (1) When FI-800 is not used for a long time, remove the measuring gas (especially solvent gases and vapors) inside pipings by blowing the fresh air or nitrogen.

6. Definition of word The definition of word to be used in this manual. Measuring gas Target gas to measure in sample gas Base gas Remaining gas excluding measuring gas in sample gas. Reference gas The gas to be used as the basic standard gas to measure gas concentration.
Low sample flow, decrease of light amount for interferometric function light source, decrease of interferometer contrast. Power requirement 100VAC±10%~220VAC±10%, 50/60Hz, max 8VA Operating temp. & -10℃~+40℃, below 80%RH(Condensing gas inside FI-800 is humidity not possible) Outer dimensions Approx. 220(W) x 332(H) x 122(D)mm Weight Approx 16Kg. Structure Flame-proof ExdⅡB+H2T4...
As long as the kinds of composing gases are known, the mixing ratio(concentration) can be determined by measuring the refractive index. The optical interferometric sensor applied in the FI-800 displays “Interference fringes” on the image sensor. The interference fringes which shifts in proportion to refractive index is reflected onto the image sensor.
