These parameters can be set with the three pushbuttons on the front panel as well as by connect- ing the serial interface to a Windows-PC running the program BMT 964 Link, which is supplied with each instrument. Another way of configuring the instrument is to use the so-called Link Mode via the serial interface.

Précaution: Avertissement : L’ozone est un gaz à forte toxicité. Les concentrations d’ozone mesurées à l’aide de l’analyseur d’ozone BMT 964 vont au-delà de la limite mortelle. C’est pourquoi il convient d’utiliser une technique de sécurité adéquate (détecteur d’ozone). Attention : Le montage et le branchement au secteur devront être exécutés par une personne spécialement formée...
OZONE ANALYZER BMT 964 Manual, Rev. 04/2021 Installation and Power Connection The OZONE ANALYZER BMT 964 is a 144 x 72 mm front panel instrument (according to DIN 43700). The mounting cut-out should be 139 x 67 mm (W x H). Depth is approx. 230 mm.
BMT ozone analysers for gaseous ozone are equipped with particle filters containing a replacea- ble filter insert. The filter inserts should from time to time be checked for dirt (see page 29, Maintenance), and be replaced on a regular basis depending on the degree of particle content of the sample gas.

OZONE ANALYZER BMT 964 Manual, Rev. 04/2021 Alarm-Event is entered into the Event-Log. The display alternates between the measurement result and the message High Alarm! If Alarm Beep is activated, there is also an acoustic signal, which may be stopped using the BACK key, if the front panel menu is on its basic level.
For test purposes both analog outputs can be set to their max. (10 V / 20 mA) re- spectively min. (0 V / 4 mA) values. With the program BMT 964 Link any voltage and current can be put out.
Alarm Beep If this item is set to Enabled, the BMT 964 emits an acoustic signal during Low- or High-Alarms. This beeper may be stopped using the BACK button, if the front panel menu is on ist basic level.
If Timed/Polled is set to Timed, there is an output every Time Interval seconds (s. configura- tion of the RS-232 on p. 19). In case Polled is set, the BMT 964 expects the input of a question- mark ('?', without CR), to which it responds with a block of data. User mode data output always follows the format in the following example: 26.03.01,12:16:28,154.3 g/Nm3,1.008 bar,00.0,0000...
Float: Range –9999999 .. 99999999 (floating point number as e.g. 1.234567, max. 8 charac- ters including the decimal point) It is very important to wait for confirmation from the BMT 964 once a command is sent. Link- Mode is started by sending the following command:...
Automatic Zeroing with Control of Purge Gas Purge gas control can be taken over by the BMT 964. The relay contact Purge (Pin 2) is used for this purpose. This contact (max. 28V, 0.5A) can switch e.g. a BMT Purge Unit PUDC2, which consists of a solenoid valve and a small air pump with dust filter.

Accuracy can be impaired in this state. Lamp Off Error The UV-lamp does not work any more. The message Error: Lamp Off is shown constantly.
MESSTECHNIK (s. also Chapter Troubleshooting). The Error Relay indicates an error. 11 Event- and Error-Log These two logs are stored by the BMT 964 and document important events and errors. The last 48 events and the last 16 errors are stored, which means that the oldest entries are overwritten when new entries are stored.

OZONE ANALYZER BMT 964 Manual, Rev. 04/2021 In case of excessive dirt (e.g. Dirty Warning or Dirty Alarm as described on page 26), the cuvette should be cleaned. We recommend to send in the analyzer to the manufacturer or representatives (see chapter Troubleshooting).
The logging capabilities of the software can also be used to detect randomly occuring errors. In case the BMT 964 has to be sent in for service or repair, you do not need an RMA, but please provide the following details:...

OZONE ANALYZER BMT 964 Manual, Rev. 04/2021 Appendix C: Cabinet Version BMT 964C General description The OZONE ANALYZER BMT 964C (cabinet version) is housed in a splash-proof IP 65 (NEMA 4X) aluminum cabinet, and is equipped with everything necessary for fully automatic stand-alone operation.
OZONE ANALYZER BMT 964 Manual, Rev. 04/2021 Warning: Do not apply more than 2.5 barg gas pressure to the instrument! The Cabinet is also available with 1/8" or 1/4" compression fittings at the sample gas inlet. The catalyzing cartridge CAT-35 provides a G 1/8 thread (BSPP 1/8") at the outlet. The power and signal connectors are waterproof.
For replacement order "REFILL". Operation The operation of the BMT 964 C is the same as of the standard BMT 964, see chapters 1 to 14! Adjustment of Sample Flow: The sample gas flow rate can be set with the red knob (door open, upper right corner).
Note: The signal connector pinout of the BMT 964 C is different to the pinout of the standard instrument BMT 964! Also, the purge contact (Pin 9) is not connected, as it is used internally.
N - O F F - G A N A L Y S The BMT OZONE-IN-OFF-GAS System is an ozone analysing system for moist off-gases, housed in a splash-proof IP 65 (NEMA 4X) aluminum cabinet. It consists of the Off-Gas Cabi- net BMT 964OG, and the separate Peltier-electric cooler/dryer DH5.
SGP 5, and the DH5 power supply, in a wall mounted aluminum cabinet, 300 x 400 x 120 cm (W x H x D, twice the height of the standard BMT 964C cabinet). The cool- er/dryer DH5 is mounted upright on top of the reaction vessel, or in a large diameter off-gas tube.
The DH5 electric cooler/dryer and the analyser cabinet BMT 964OG are connected with an elec- tric cable, and with two PTFE tubings 3 x 5 mm leading the sample gas from the reactor to the analyser for ozone measurement, and leading it back to the reactor after measurement (no critical ozone destruct necessary).
Operation The operation of the Off-Gas Cabinet is the same as of the standard BMT 964, see chapters 1 to 14! Adjustment of Sample Flow: The sample gas flow is produced by the sample gas pump SGP 5, and is set in the factory.

The BMT 964 AQ is a SENSOR because it does not have a display. It is designed to directly be connnected to e.g. a workstation via a 4-20 mA, or 0-10 V, signal line. The workstation also has to monitor and control the instrument's functions like auto-zeroing, or possible failure indica- tions.

(where address space starts with 0). Caution: Care has to be taken that the MODBUS master does not reconfigure the BMT 964 in an endless loop. The internal non-volatile memory will only tolerate a limited (1,000,000) number of write cycles.
OZONE ANALYZER BMT 964 Manual, Rev. 04/2021 Function Code 3 – Read Holding Registers This code is used to request numeric information. The query specifies a start register and the number of registers to be transmitted. Register size is 16 bits. Floating point and long values re- quire two words to be transmitted.
CRC Error Counter Exception Counter Return Query Data is a simple loop-back test. The BMT 964 will echo the message sent to it. Please note, that the data field of this query should be two bytes long. Both CRC Error Counter and Exception Counter will start at 0 when the instrument is switched on.
