The opacity value of the span filter (9) is shown on the calibration certificate which accompanies the instrument. As required by ASTM D 21 -07, the STACK 710 indicates the PLCF value on the current loop output for 90 s at the end of each calibration check. The value is scaled from 0.0 to 10.0.
Displayed Opacity = 1 - (1-FilterOpacity) 1/PLCF The operating wavelength of the STACK 710 is 525 nm. All audit filters will be calibrated at this wavelength. Remove the filter, insert the next filter and record the reading.
Alternatively, the instrument may be removed and attached to test stands or a pipe for calibration. The STACK 710 provides a convenient facility for testing on a workbench or other flat surfaces. The Transceiver may be laid on its left side and the Retro-reflector on its right side;...
When the hourglass disappears, the Clear Stack Calibration is complete. Gravimetric Calibration (Isokinetic Calibration) The STACK 710 measures the opacity of dust and smoke emissions. As explained in the Reference section of the manual, this may be converted to Dust Density using calibration constants.

If the data points form a marked curve rather than a straight line, change the Trendline to a Polynomial of order 2. The coefficient of the x2 term is the Dust Gain 2 calibration constant. To enter the Dust Gain and Offset values into the STACK 710, press Unlock displayed, press Use the...
Press three times to return to the main display. Setting Calibration Constants Manually If the STACK 710 is miscalibrated, it is possible to recover the situation by replacing the erroneous calibration constants. The Previous constants and the constants determined during Factory testing are stored in the instrument.

It should also be pointed out that the STACK 710 Dust (opacity monitor) is a double-pass instrument. This means that the light beam crosses the medium twice and experiences twice the amount of absorption, as illustrated in .

STACK 710 6 Theory of Operation and Application Requirements for Environmental Legislation The STACK 710 meets or exceeds the requirements of U.S. 40CFR 0 AppB PS1 and ASTM Standard Practice D 21 . 6.5.1 General Description The STACK 710 measures opacity by shining a light beam through flue gases. An internal microprocessor calculates opacity, dust density and other parameters.
The STACK 710 uses a novel method to compensate for such changes by using Flood LED (2) to illuminate both detectors ( and 7). Because it uses no focusing...
STACK 710 6 Theory of Operation and Application 6.5.3 Calibration Check The Transceiver periodically performs a two-step calibration check. In the first step, a zero reflector (10), mounted on the outside of the Transceiver is placed into the optical beam. In the second step, the upscale filter (9) is also placed in the light path.

Maintenance Identifying Faults The STACK 710 Dust (opacity monitor) has been designed to assist the user in finding and correcting many possible problems. If the instrument detects a problem, it will switch off the Green System OK LED and de-energise the System OK relay.
- Do not move either mechanism by hand or the precision gearbox may be irreparably damaged Note: When contacting ENVEA Service Department, please have the Instrument Type and Serial Number available. This will ensure a more accurate and efficient response.
STACK 710 7 Maintenance Maintenance The STACK 710 has been designed for a minimal amount of routine maintenance. To ensure a maximum monitor lifetime, however, the following maintenance schedule has been developed. Remember that the air purge system should always be left on, even if the boiler is off, to prevent any optics contamination.
Transceiver Cover 7.5.1 Removing the cover If it is necessary to open the STACK 710 Transceiver cover, for example, to change communications option links or switches, proceed as follows: Figure 22: STACK 710- removing the cover. ENVEA UK Ltd...
STACK 710 7 Maintenance Undo the eight screws (A). Pull the cover back about 50 mm (2”). Reach in and disconnect the touch panel connector (B) by pulling it towards the rear. Remove the cover completely. Replacing the cover 7.5.2 First, check that the sealing cord (D) is clean, evenly pressed down into its channel, continuous and undamaged.
