Purpose of this document Purpose of This Document This instruction manual describes the standard scope of supply of the GM901 CO Measur- ing System, as well as the standard range of accessories available. The purpose of this doc- ument is to explain the functioning of the GM901 and describe the procedures for mounting, installing, starting up, and operating the device.
Safety Information Intended Use The GM901 CO Analyzer must only be used to monitor CO concentrations in gas ducts. If the device is used for any other purpose or changed in any way, also during installation and as- sembly, any warranty claims vis-à-vis SICK AG will be rendered invalid.
Please observe safety regulations at all times to prevent accidents. If the GM901 is used as a sensor in conjunction with a control system, the operator must make sure that a failure or malfunction cannot lead to operating conditions that cause dam- age or lead to other hazardous operating conditions.
Evaluation unit Sender Fig. 2 CO Measuring Device GM901 The basic configuration of the GM901 consists of: • Sender • Receiver • Evaluation unit with connecting cable (2 m/6.6 ft) • Cable for connecting the sender and receiver units (15 m/50 ft) Optional Accessories •...
Note Available measuring data The measuring values provided by the GM901, serving as pathway to the process ma- nagement level are defined in the device master data file (GSD). You find the measuring sizes and their corresponding measuring unit in the table below:...
Laser Gas Analyzer Mounting the CO Measuring device GM901 To ensure that the GM901 is installed and started correctly, the unit should be adjusted first. A CO-free environment is required for this zero-point adjustment. If the installation is not in operation and the duct is free of CO, the adjustment can also be carried out at the measuring point.
Step 3 Fig. 17 Installing the weatherproof cover for the GM901 1. Mount the baseplate sideways on the flange with tube and secure it to the surface of the flange plate on the duct (purge-air attachment) using the threaded pins provided.
• The evaluation unit has a separate mains switch. The following must be provided by the customer: The power supply for the GM901 and purge-air unit (3-phase) Signal cables suitable for the application PE conductors for connecting to the exterior of the connection unit (in accordance with...
Connecting the evaluation unit - terminal strip ST 5 Cable length: max. 1000 m (3,280 ft) CAN-H / CAN-L / CAN GND Connecting the GM901 receiver - terminal strip ST 6 or ST 7 Standard cable (17 m/55.8 ft)) +24 V...
30 minutes • Never change the alignment of the mounting brackets during the zero-point adjustment Once fitted to the duct the purge air attachments of the GM901, a new adjustment needs Note to be carried out, see Chapter 3.3, p. 16! Device parameters are altered by adjustments made to the measuring distance.
Keep the parts for the zero-point comparison (mounting bracket, bracket for the CO cells) in a safe place ▸ Mount the GM901 at the measuring point, see Chapter 3.3.2, p. 18. ▸ To check linearity carry out manual SPAN test (optionally) 5.3.5...
Do not insert a cell filled with CO yet Note Input tray for the CO cell Fig. 28 GM901 Sender with test cell holder ▸ To start the SPAN test, press the CAL button on the evaluation unit (see Chapter 6.3.2, p.
Choose Init PBUS Cold This initializes the new adress of the Profibus software. The device master file(GSD) can now be configured via PROFIBUS-Master to the operational requirements of the GM901. ▸ Choose Init PBUS Warm. Restart of the PROFIBUS stack.
Dismantling the Sender and the Receiver It is recommended to decommission the GM901 device during longer periods of plant shut downs. It is essential to dismount the GM901 if the optional purge air unit is decommis- sionend. Hot, toxic gases may be released! Toxic gases may be released from the duct when the GM901 system components are removed from the wedge flange or socket.
9.3.7 Remote Diagnosis If the information in this section is not sufficient to correct an error and return the GM901 to its operating state, please read the following messages on the GM901 display and send it to the SICK Customer Service Department quoting the device data so that we can carry out a remote diagnosis .
