Measurement: The measurement of CO is continuous. The on-line gas is continuously being diffused into the Infra-red CO sensor sampling assembly. The CO reading is updated every second on the display. Also 4-20mA is generated and alarm relays are energized if CO2 concentration exceeds the preset alarm levels.
Front Panel PT605 front panel is equipped with a large liquid crystal display with back light, four alarm LEDs for visual alarm indicators, and keypad switches. The H S & CO concentration and sample and clear mode are displayed on the LCD. The keypad switches are used to reset alarms, calibrate sensors and program unit configuration.
sampling cycle the gas reading increases as the H S concentration in the sampling chamber increases. The data on the last line of the LCD is simply used as a diagnostic and troubleshooting feature Clear Cycle During normal operation the duration of the clear cycle is 3 minutes. An internal solenoid valve is switched off during this cycle restricting the flow of sample gas through the H S sensor assembly and allowing the sensor to purge with ambient air.
Alarm LEDs and Keypad switches There are 4 LEDs on the front panel labeled AL1 thru AL3 and a Fault LED. These LEDs are the visual indicators of any active alarms. The alarm relays and LEDs can be reset by pressing the RESET key on the front panel.
PT605 Analyzer is suitable for use in hazardous location. The unit can be mounted to the wall or panel. Refer to figure 2 for the mounting holes and dimensions on the fiberglass enclosure.
The analyzer is DC operational only if it is not equipped with the AC input terminal on the customer connection board assembly. 4-20mA analog output: PT605 Analyzer generates a linear 4-20mA DC analog output equivalent to H S concentration in the stream. This analog output can be connected to devices like PLC, DCS and chart recorders.
MODBUS Communication later in this document for additional details. Connecting the gas stream to the analyzer PT605 requires a clean and dry gas sample from the process stream for proper operation. A minimum of 50 PSIG line pressure is needed. In normal operation the pressure should not exceed 500 PSIG.
Unit Startup Check list Use the following steps as a guide for proper startup procedure. Unit must be installed in shaded area to avoid extreme heat conditions. Perform all the system wiring as discussed in the previous section. ...
Important Installation & Maintenance Note Do not block Vents on the system enclosures. There is Vent tube fitting located one top left corner of the system enclosure. Blocking vent or attaching a long tubes on vents will create back pressure that may result in sensor contamination.
Sensor Calibration Typically the H S & CO concentration of the calibration gas should be close to 50% of the full scale range of the analyzer. The following table lists the calibration gas for analyzer with different full scale range. Recommended Recommended S Range...
H2S Sensor Calibration Calibration Procedure Remove the cap from the calibration port of the three way valve installed. Move the valve handle to CALIB position. This will shut off the sample input from the stream and allow the calibration gas to flow to the sensor. Connect the calibration gas to the CALIB port on the valve.

output from the sensor. The gain factor is a number between 1 and 250. A good sensor should have a gain factor between 40 and 240 STEP 6. At the end sampling cycle the analyzer switches off the solenoid valve and the sensor begins to clear.
Tips on good calibration (for H2S) In order to perform good calibration, follow the instructions below Make sure the flow meters are stable and are set at 1 SCFH. Not enough pressure on the calibration gas may cause flow meter to fluctuate and will result in inconsistent flow of gas through the sensor.

STEP 4. After purge cycle the following message will be displayed. Apply Calib Gas CO2 = 0.0 SensrSignl = 0.4 v The unit is now ready for gas standard. Apply the CO2 calibration gas and make sure the flow meter is set at 1.0 SCFH. Calibration gas must be applied for at least 2 minutes. When the Sensor Signal reading has stabilized then by using ▲...

Fine tuning 4-20mA Analog Output All the 4-20mA analog output adjustments are performed at the factory. However, the user may desire to fine-tune the analog output. First make sure that the load is connected or the analog output terminal is connected to a PLC and then follow the instructions below.
Alarm Relays There are 3 programmable relays for alarms. Each sensor can have 2 relays assigned for low and high Alarms. Relays are designated such that low alarm is distinct for H S and CO however, the high alarm relay is shared by both sensors. The alarms levels can be programmed anywhere between 0 and the full scale range of each sensor.

When arrow is pointing to L (Latching) or NL (non-latching) field use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to toggle between L and NL and press ENTER when done. After modifying all 3 fields for an alarm the arrow will jump to next line or next alarm. Modify both Lo and Hi alarms in similar manner using the UP and DOWN arrow keys to change the value and ENTER key to accept the change and skip to next data field.
RTU protocol. Only the PLC / Controller can make requests to read the contents of the data register in PT605. A unique address must be assigned to Model PT605 analyzer in order for the PLC to request data from the unit. Refer to previous section for assigning address to the analyzer.
Modbus Registers Description 40001 Heart Beat register. Simply a counter that is increment every second to indicate the analyzer is operating properly The counter overflows to 0 after 65535 (approx 18 hours) 40002 Spare not used. Value read would be 0 40003 Current analyzer mode.

Replacing Analyzer Sensor Assembly After long exposure to the gas sensor may lose its accuracy. Sensor should be replaced if the accuracy is not to the desired level even after calibration of the sensor as discussed in the previous sections. Both H2S and CO2 sensor assemblies are located inside the sampling system junction box.
Care PT605 should not be installed facing the direct sunlight. Installation in an extreme high temperature region should be avoided. All the covers must be tightly installed to avoid any electrical hazards and to avoid any dust or water getting inside the unit.
