2. CHAPTER TWO: INSTALLATION

2.1

Preinstallation Requirements

Power Requirements
Voltage: 115/230 VAC + 10%, 50/60 Hz, voltage swings should be less than 10%
Current: Service at greater than 20 Amps (10 Amps for 230VDC)
Analyzer is set for either 115VAC or 230 VAC operation.
Environmental Requirements
Instrument should be located in a dry, climate controlled area. For best results, ambient temperature
should not change by more than 5ºC during any 24 hour period or by more than 15ºC during the year.
Gas Requirements
Oxygen: 99.9% pure dry oxygen for pyro conversion.
Span/Standard Gas: Carbon dioxide balance with a known amount of sulfur mixed in. Concentration of
the standard should be near the expected concentration of the sample.
Zero Gas: Carbon dioxide free of sulfur impurities.
Sample Gas: The gas that is to be analyzed.
Sampling System: Required to deliver 1000 cc/min. of zero, span, or sample gas when that stream is
being analyzed.
It is extremely important that the flow rate of all the streams be the same. Any difference in flow rates will cause a
proportional error in the results. Gas streams should be filtered to five (5) microns before they enter the detector.
Because SO is readily absorbed (leached) by most metals, care should be taken to minimize the use of
2
metals in the sampling systems. Metal in the sampling system can cause inaccurate (usually low) results
or cause a lag in response when concentrations change. Plastic tubing should be used anywhere that
temperature, pressure, or other safety considerations do not prohibit its use. If metal must be used, nickel
is the best choice. Stainless steel is an alternative, but only if nickel is not available. Brass or copper
should not be used.
