    The ECOM J2KN can be fitted with up to 5 separate gas sensors. The ECOM J2KN is suited for a variety of applications: Boiler/Burner Flue Gas Analysis; Engine Emissions Analysis; Pollution Source Testing; and Environmental Reporting of Stack Gas Parameters, among others.
  • Page 4: List Of Abbreviations

    List of Abbreviations Listed below are some abbreviations that are used throughout this manual. Oxygen Carbon Monoxide Carbon Dioxide Nitric Oxide Nitrogen Dioxide (NO+NO General term for Oxides of Nitrogen Sulfur Dioxide Temp Temperature EFF / Eta Combustion Efficiency Batt Battery T.
  • Page 5 Carefully remove the hoses and cables from the top compartment of the case. Plug in the supplied power cord to the back panel of the analyzer and to an appropriate power outlet. (The ECOM J2KN will operate on 100 – 230 VAC) Make sure the Peltier Gas Cooler and Particulate filter assembly is mounted properly on the top edge of the right side of the unit.
  • Page 6 2.2 Fuel Selection There are 13 pre-programmed fuel selections in the ECOM J2KN. These will include Natural Gas, Diesel Oil, Propane, Butane, Fuel Oil #2, #4, and #6, Coal, Wood (at varying moisture contents) and others.
  • Page 7 North American applications, due to availability of the SDMM Card and / or Advanced DAS software. If you are using the SDMM Card option and / or the ECOM Advanced DAS software option, please select NO by pressing the F4 button.
  • Page 8: Keypad Functions

    2.8 CO Bypass F3 key / #3 key The J2KN is equipped with an automatic & manual CO Bypass to protect the CO sensor from over- range conditions. When levels exceed the programmed CO limit, an automatic CO bypass activates a small purge pump to divert the gas and purge the CO sensor.
  • Page 9 Printing The easiest way to make a print-out of the measured values displayed by the ECOM J2KN, is to simply press the F2 / #2 key. The printer will start and all measured and calculated values will be printed on the tape. If you wish to store only one reading for later print-out, you can press the #5 key to store the values in short term memory.
  • Page 10 2.12 Adjustments - Allows user to make adjustments to the calculated and measured values The J2KN is capable of calculating emission values by changing certain options via the ECOM J2KN’s Adjustments menu. Press the key when in the normal measurement mode to access the Adjustments menu, then move the cursor to the relevant position and press Enter.
  • Page 11 Sets the internal clock, dd:mm:yy hh:mm:ss 2.13 Control Entering the Control screen lows user to view contact information for ECOM, millivolt reading of sensors, operation hours, serial number, battery voltages, and software version of the analyzer. It also allows access to calibration screens.
  • Page 12: Section 3 Calibration Procedure

    Section 3 Calibration Procedure For best results, the gas concentration should be as close to the expected levels of emissions as possible. Because each sensor is linear through a nominal range, one calibration gas concentration can be used for a reasonably wide range of emission levels.
  • Page 13 Check with the agency for any existing protocols they may prefer or acknowledge. ECOM America Ltd. can help you obtain acceptable protocols for your area, if required. Additional Notes: Variances in the analyzer’s core temperature may affect the reading and accuracy of electrochemical sensors.
  • Page 14: Section 5 Data Acquisition

    PC card reader - Belkin or SanDisk Data logging Instructions After having started the J2KN and allowed the analyzer to perform 3 minute initialization, you may set up the data logging function. Insert MM card in slot on top of J2KN remote. Remote will respond with message that MM card is compatible.

    The data collected on the J2K with Multi Media Card will open in a spreadsheet with the recorded on calculated values displayed in the following format. Column Description Range/Comment/Example Date DD.MM.YYYY 13:02:2006 (February 13, 2006) Time HH:MM:SS 09:36:54 (9:36:54 AM) O2 in vol.% 0.0 –...
  • Page 16 ECOM Data Interface Box with the analyzer and PC. Set-up directions: The Data Interface Box must be synchronized with the corresponding J2K / J2KN for wireless operation the first time it is used with the analyzer. Please follow these steps: Switch on the analyzer, and allow it to complete the 3 minute auto-zero.

    However, it will operate in the base unit cradle, while it is re-charging. The control module of the ecom-J2K is powered by 3 nickel-metal-hydride batteries, (type AA). When these batteries need charging, they can be recharged by docking the control module to the base unit.
  • Page 18 Peltier Gas Cooler / Water Trap Assembly Proper Sample Conditioning is key to accurate and reliable flue gas measurements. The ECOM J2K employs a high capacity Thermoelectric Peltier Gas Cooler and Condensate Trap to ensure proper conditioning of the flue gas sample. The flue gas is drawn from the stack, through the probe and sample line where it enters the gas cooler assembly.
  • Page 19 Radio communication between base unit & remote The information exchange between the remote control and base module is via radio transmission (868 MHz) with coverage of 150 feet, dependent on outside RFI / EMI. The strength of the radio signal is indicated by a bar on the bottom right side of the main menu screen.
  • Page 20 “Air free CO measurement” The J2KN can be used to check CO levels in the gas stream, relative to a 0% O2 concentration. To view this screen, press the UP or DOWN arrow key in the Gas measurement mode. A screen similar to the one below will be seen.
