    The system consists of a microprocessor controlled gas chro- matograph utilizing the Unique Reduction Gas Detector (RGD) designed by Ametek’s Trace Analytical. Functional Overview In order to achieve specified performance, the ta5000R performs these...
  • Page 12: Reduction Gas Detection

    Reduction Gas Detection Species eluting from the RGD column set pass immediately into the heated bed of mercuric oxide (HgO) and the photometric detector. Within the HgO bed, the general reaction occurs: X + HgO (solid) => XO + Hg (vapor) where X is any appropriate reducing gas.

    ANALYZER DESCRIPTION Front Panel and User Interface The front panel of the ta5000R is where the user interface is found. The user interface is a combinationof the display screen and menu keys. The display screen shows information andoptions for running the ta5000R. The Menu Keys correlate to menu labels on the display screen and are used for all input to the operating system.
  • Page 22: Display Screen

    Rear Panel Display Screen The display screen is where the instrument displays all current informa- tion and options.The display is separated into three sections. The top section of the screen is the Status Bar. This is where the instru- ment displaysthe current status. This bar will also display which screen is currently selected, the time and date and other important Status informa- tion.

    • Operating Manual • Accessories purchased with the ta5000R If any evidence of damage exists, immediately contact the shipping com- pany, save the original shipping container, and notify Ametek as soon as possible for consultation. Location and Environment 1. The area where the ta5000R Gas Analyzer is to be operated should be clean with minimum particulate matter and dust in the air.
  • Page 25: Electrical Preparations And Connections

    2. Support gases for the instrument should be located near the analyzer. A uniform temperature environment for cylinders and regulators is es- sential in order to keep constant pressure and flow rate. Always keep gas containers inside the building where temperature fluctuations are at a minimum.
  • Page 26: Regulators And Plumbing

    Use Cajon VCR fittings with gaskets to connect to UHP regulators. Do not use pipe thread fittings since they are not clean and are not CAUTION leak-tight for Ametek’s trace gas analysis. Suggested Hardware for Gas Connections UHP Regulators for Carrier and Sample Gases Dual stage stainless steel, 0 to 150 psig outlet with gauges and 1/16-inch VICI female fittings.
