• Long life Within the 5100P, a tunable diode laser (TDL) is used to produce energy at a very specific wavelength which the analyte of interest’s molecules strongly absorb. The radiant energy produced by the TDL passes through the Sample gas, and any analyte molecules present in the gas stream will absorb a fraction of this energy.
Concentration Measurements After the 5100P Analyzer has been powered up, the Sample gas supply line can be connected to the optional 5100P Sample Conditioning Panel, or directly to the 5100P Gas Analyzer, where it begins measuring the Sample gas. For...
Communicating With the Analyzer The analyzer offers communication with the analyzer via its integrated Display User Interface, or using the 5100P Application Software option installed on a desktop or laptop computer (via USB connection). Both communication meth- ods are described in Chapter 3.
See example at left while CLOCKYEAR navigating from the User Interface HOME screen to the CLOCK/YEAR configuration screen. See also “Communicating With the 5100P TDLAS Analyzer Via the User Interface” and “Communicating With the 5100P TDLAS Analyzer Via the 5100P Application Software” in Chapter 3.
Table of Contents near the beginning of this manual, in this chapter, and in the 5100P Analyzer Manual Supplements shipped with the system. This information describes procedures to follow to avoid personal injury and/or damage to the equipment.
Failure to comply with these storage conditions will void your warranty. Uncrating and Inspecting the Analyzer Open the shipping and storage case the 5100P Analyzer is shipped in and inspect the instrument for damage. If equipment is damaged, notify the carrier and contact AMETEK Service (https://www.ametekpi.com/customersupport/...
Power Adaptor supplied.) Charging the 5100P Analyzer Battery Pack The 5100P Analyzer is designed for battery operation, and it is important to en- sure that its Battery Pack has been fully charged prior to using the analyzer. To charge the Battery Pack: Charge the 5100P Analyzer only in non-hazardous locations.
When the Battery Pack is fully charged, the GREEN LED will be On and the YELLOW LED will be Off. 4. Charge the 5100P for a minimum of eight (8) hours, (or overnight, if pos- sible) prior to operating the analyzer using its Battery Pack. This should provide 8-plus hours of continuous analyzer use.
5100P Analyzers With and Without a Sample Conditioning Panel The 5100P Analyzer is typically supplied with a Sample Conditioning Panel – connected to the analyzer – which provides pressure reduction, filtering, and flow control adjustment. A Sample gas supply line is connected to the Sample Panel using an 1/8-inch Swagelok®...
Standard Pressure Sample Panel (Typical Operation) The Standard 5100P Sample Conditioning Panel (Figure 2-2.1) operates with a raw Sample gas pressure of 1.03–17.2 BARG (15–250 PSIG). Downstream of the Inlet Valve, a pressure regulator is used to reduce the Sample gas pressure to the recommended operating pressure of the 5100P Analyzer (0.4–0.7 BARG [6–10 PSIG]).
The Low Pressure 5100P Sample Conditioning Panel (Figure 2-2.2) operates with a raw Sample gas pressure of 0.06–1.03 BARG (1–15 PSIG). Upstream of the AMETEK Sample Panel Inlet Valve, a pressure regulator (in- stalled by customer/end user) is used to reduce the Sample gas pressure to the recommended operating pressure of the 5100P Gas Analyzer (0.4–0.7 BARG...
No Sample Panel 5100P Analyzers that will be used in ATEX/IECEx Zone 2 areas must have an AMETEK-supplied Sample Conditioning Panel. When operating the 5100P Analyzer without an AMETEK-supplied Sample Conditioning Panel, precautions must be taken to ensure the accuracy of performance and reduce possible maintenance issues.

Proceed only when the area is found to be safe. Before performing maintenance on the 5100P Analyzer, power down the ana- lyzer by pressing the Power On/Off button on the front panel. If process gas and vent lines are connected, disconnect the lines and replace the caps on the Sample Panel connections to prevent unwanted ambient items like dust and water from entering the analyzer sample path.
Maintenance Under normal operating conditions, the Sample Panel requires very little main- tenance. This section describes the maintenance required to keep the 5100P Analyzer operating at peak efficiency. Safety Considerations Before working on the analyzer, read the entire procedure you will be performing to learn how to safely perform maintenance on and troubleshoot the analyzer / product.
”PN” in the following procedure(s) refers to AMETEK Part Number. Systems With an AMETEK-Supplied Sample Panel The Filter (membrane separator), which is located on the AMETEK Sample Panel, protects the analytical system (Sample Cell, Flow Meter, etc.) from con- tamination by dirt, dust, and liquids that can be present in the process stream.
Page 73
If the Filter appears to be clean, skip the remainder of this procedure, replace the Filter Cap, and prepare the 5100P Analyzer for operation. If the Filter is dirty or damaged, you will need to replace it. To remove the Filter, first remove the o-ring that is installed in the o-ring groove on the outer edge of the cap.
Systems Without an AMETEK Sample Panel 5100P Analyzers that will be used in ATEX/IECEx Zone 2 areas must have an AMETEK-supplied Sample Conditioning Panel. If you are operating the 5100P Analyzer without an AMETEK-supplied Sample Conditioning Panel, precautions must be taken to remove liquid and solid par- ticulates from the Sample gas, to ensure analyzer performance and accuracy.
From the 5100P Application Software: • View the Settings screen and edit the Alarms Output High Limit value. Refer to “Configur- ing the 5100P Parameters From the Setup Screen“ in Chapter 3 for information on how to change this value.

Battery Low (5100P Application Software) The 5100P’s internal battery needs to be charged. There is approximately 5–10 minutes of analyzer run-time before it will power itself down completely. Typically, a minimum of eight (8) hours of charging (or overnight, if possible) should provide 8-plus hours of continuous analyzer use.
Specifications Specifications included in this chapter are standard for the 5100P Analyzer in most applications, but they do not include information directly related to specific analytes and stream compositions. For analyte-specific information, refer to the 5100P TDLAS Analyzer Manual Supplement for your application (in the Documentation Package folder shipped with the 5100P).
