  • Page 13: Description

    DESCRIPTION The main part of the PMA50 EX is the paramagnetic oxygen measuring cell. This measuring principle is one of the most precise quantitative methods for determination of the oxygen contents in the range of 0-100 vol% O The Oxygen Analyzer PMA50 EX is destined for stationary operation. The mounting into an Ex db eb IIC T4 housing with breathing and draining devices in the sample gas inlet and outlet , allows the analyzer to be...

    A window in the housing of the analyzer enables the control of the analog/digital measured value display 15, the heating control LED and status LED 14, as well as the measuring range LEDs and 6. All operating elements are accessible from the outside and guarantee simple and user-friendly handling dur- ing calibration as well as measuring range switching.

    The enclosure purging has to flow off atmospherically free! 11.2 PMA 50 EX/P/PD WITH PRESSURE COMPENSATION (WITHOUT SIL-CERTIFICATION) In case of barometric or process-related pressure variations, the PMA50 EX can be equipped with a special pressure compensation. The pressure can be compensated in a range of 0.6 to 1.1 bar abs. This can eliminate measurement errors due to pressure fluctuations.

  • Page 20: Supply Connections

    When using the analyzer outdoors, it must be protected against the effects of the weather. If possible, the installation should be done in constant climatic ambient conditions. A vibration-free location is ideal for installation. If this is not possible, antivibration mounts must be used to decouple the housing.

    16.2 OPTION PURGING ENCLOSURE OR ENCLOSURE VENTILATION According to the Ex-Certificate (see annexe) purging of the enclosure is also required in case of increased inlet pressure of 1.1 to max. 1.5 bar abs. To do this, choose the option Part No. 05A9005. For increased pressure and corrosive gases, the analyzer must be equipped with the option enclosure purging (Part No.

    16.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION If you do not use the correct supply voltage, the equipment may be destroyed. Please take care of the correct supply voltage as indicated on the type plate. Warning The equipotential bonding terminals of the analyzer housing and the terminal box must always be connected in case of installation in hazardous area.
  • Page 23: Starting Up

    STARTING UP The following steps must be carried out when commissioning the analyzer:  Before starting the equipment for the first time, check that the electrical connections and the gas connec- tions have been executed as requested. The voltage indicated on the type plate must correspond to the mains supply.
  • Page 24: Zero Calibration

    18.1 ZERO CALIBRATION To do a zero-point calibration of the analyzer, use an O2-free gas, e.g. nitrogen (N ) 5.0. Follow the steps below:  Connect the flexible PVC or Viton tube with the bottle’s pressure reducer of the N -zero gas bottle;...
  • Page 25: Full Scale Value Calibration

    After zero calibration, the full scale value must also be calibrated! Note 18.2 FULL SCALE VALUE CALIBRATION For oxygen concentrations of the sample gas below 30 % O , dry air can be used for calibration. Higher concentrations ideally require a test gas corresponding to the full scale value! Note Before calibrating the full scale value, always check the zero point.

  • Page 27: Measuring

    MEASURING During initial commissioning at a new measurement location, all the steps described above must be followed. The accuracy requirements for the analysis determine the interval of recalibration. The sample gas quantity should be adjusted between 10 Nl/h and 60 Nl/h air (external flow meter). After selecting the desired measuring range, the analyzer is ready for measurement.
  • Page 28: Cross Sensitivities

    CROSS SENSITIVITIES The following table shows the cross sensitivities of the most important gases at 20 °C [68 °F] and 50 °C [122 °F]. All values are based on a zero calibration with N and a full scale value calibration with 100 vol% O .
  • Page 29 The selectivity of the above mentioned measuring principle is based on the high susceptibility of oxygen to other gases (see table). The following examples shall show how cross sensitivities can be considered for the zero calibration. Example 1: Determination of the rest content of oxygen in a 100 % carbon dioxide (CO ) protective atmosphere at 20 °C [68 °F] In the table of cross sensitivities you can read the value for CO...
  • Page 30 The correction factor is calculated as follows: Correction factor =  (100 – O -concentration) This results in the following correction factor:  = 1.0526 (100 – 5) For the gas mixture, the corrected total cross sensitivity for 0 vol% oxygen is therefore calculated in good approximation: 1.0526 x -0.1123 vol% = -0.1182 vol% The corrected total cross sensitivity with plus/minus sign change can now be used for correction during zero...
  • Page 31: Closing Down

    For the gas mixture in example 2 the corrected total cross sensitivity then is calculated in good approximation for 20.93 vol% oxygen: 0.7907 x -0.1182 vol% = -0.0935 vol% The corrected total cross sensitivity with plus/minus sign change now can be used for the correction of the full scale value calibration.
  • Page 32 The physical measuring principle and the special design of the analyzer minimize the maintenance require- ments. The preceding components necessary for the sample gas conditioning are to be maintained according to the respective instruction manuals. The calibration of zero point and full scale value must be carried out with the corresponding test gases ac- cording to the instructions.
