Emitters and receivers 1.1 The ER060L system The ER060L system consists of an emitter EM060L and a receiver RE060L. A power sup- ply unit PM101L is needed to power the electronics in the receiver. Figure 1.1. The ER060L system. 1.1.1 Technical specifications ER060L system EM060L/RE060L Dimensions (L ×...
Emitters and receivers 1.1.2 The emitter EM060L The EM060L can transmit light over a path length of up to 5 meters. The light is led from the laser head unit to the emitter via an optical fiber. The ending of the fiber is placed at the focal point of a parabolic mirror.
Emitters and receivers 1.1.3 The receiver RE060L The RE060L unit contains a fibre holder and a mirror. The optical components are adjust- able for the optimisation of the calibration light. Figure 1.3. The receiver RE060L. Main parts of the receiver RE060L 1 ½“...
1.2 The ER060AUTOL system ER060AUTOL is designed to be used for flue gas monitoring in stacks/ducts in combina- tion with one Opsis LD500 analyzer. The ER060AUTOL consists of one emitter, EM060L and one receiver RE060AUTOL. In addition to a cross stack optical monitoring path, the ER060AUTOL provides automatic calibration function.
The inner diameter of the cell is 2” (53 mm) and the length is approximately 130mm. The temperature controller, TC100, is located on the control unit. The optical fiber is leading the captured light to the Opsis analyser unit, which by those means can be protected from high temperature, dust, humidity etc.
ER060AUTOL is a cross stack monitoring unit. Emitter and receiver are mounted on op- posite sides, on 1 1/2” pipe socket connections. The recommended mount is a port kit sup- plied by Opsis which includes set of 4” ANSI flanges that are attached to the stack/duct walls.
LD500 CEM system accessories 2.1 The PM101L power supply In order to operate the electronics in the receivers RE060L and RE060AUTOL, an Opsis PM101L power supply unit is required. The PM101L unit provides a ±15 V and a +6 signal to the RC101L detector card inside the receiver.
2.3 The optical fibres Three qualities of laser optical fibres are available for the LD500 system. The standard fi- bre OF010 can be used in most applications. However, in applications where oxygen is measured, the fibre OF005 should be used.

With a calibration cell in the measurement path (add-on calibration). A serial port in the Opsis analyser is used to control the calibration unit. The operating routines are included in the Opsis analyser software. Version number 7.10, or later, is re- quired.

Warning: This is a Class 3A (EC Standards) Laser Device. Caution should be taken when working with the equipment. At all work near the emitter and receiver or with the optical fibre cable connected to the LD500 analyser, safety goggles or eye protection should be used.
Safety precautions • The polished ends of the fibre are very sensitive to dust and dirt. Ensure that they are protected at all times. If they should need to be cleaned, a soft cotton cloth or lens tissues may be used, with a little alcohol if necessary. Never touch the ends of the fibres with your fingers, and do not use fabrics containing synthetic fibres for cleaning.
Installation 5.1 Placement conditions for the emitter/receiver Make sure that there is enough space for the emitter/receiver. The emitter/receiver must be mounted horizontally. The maximum angle is 15°. The emitter and the receiver must be mounted with a clear line of sight between them.
Installation 5.2 Placement conditions for the analyser The analyser must be placed in an air conditioned and heated instrument cabinet. One 230 V (115 V), 10 A socket must be located in the proximity of the analyser cabinet. If there are any doubts that the 230 V (115V) is not free from surges, the analyser has to be pro- tected with a surge suppressor or an Uninterruptible Power Source UPS.

Installation which one is connected in the EM060L emitters, and the second is projected inter- nally in the RE060AUTOL unit. Make all the tubing connections according to the tubing drawing, see drawing no. 9 section 9. Connect the purge air. 5.5.1 Electrical connections Attach the flex tube to the bottom of the receiver and make all the electrical connections.
1.5 m optical fibre. There are three ways to operate the LA060: Use it to visually align the transmitter and receiver. Use the ordinary measuring fibre to transfer light level information from the LD500 into the LA060 display. This simplifies light alignment (at the transmitter site) for long measuring paths.
Connect the optical fibre included in the kit. Then connect the other end of the fibre to the optical transmitter. Put the ordinary fibre from the LD500, into the right con- nector of the LA060.
If there is a question of the quality of the optical throughput, use the LA060 to measure the intensity of the light. Connect one end of the fibre into the LD500 laser output, the other end into the upper right connector on the LA060. Depending on the output intensity of the laser, readings of 30-60 dB are normal.
Splitting multiplexers and demultiplexers are used when several measuring path are co- trolled by one LD500 analyser or several gases are measured. Figure 7.1. Splitting multiplexer MX10nL or demultiplexer MXn01L. Note: When ordering a splitting multiplexer or demultiplexer, the laser module type must be specified.
Demultilexer, 4 laser modules, 1 path 7.2 Switching multiplexers, SX10nL A switching multiplexer can be used when a LD500 analyser is used for several paths and a splitting multiplexer causes an unacceptable loss of light. There are seven different types of switches, SX10nL, where n stands for the number of outputs, n = 2, 3, ..., 8.

Multiplexers and demultiplexers changed. Move the cursor to the column Config and press [Enter]. The menu Com port setup opens, where it is possible to configure the port that the switch is connected to. It is possible to use the SX10nL together with splitting multiplexers. In the multiplexer set- up menu this option can be set.
Maintenance Maintenance of the Opsis LD500 system should be scheduled and followed on a regular basis to ensure proper operations and prevent the possibility of malfunctions. Maintenance records should be kept in a log book at the monitoring location. 8.1 Check list for preventive...
Maintenance 8.2 Emitter and receiver 8.2.1 Cleaning the mirrors and windows The protective windows are made of quartz, and cleaning causes no problems. Dirt and grease can be removed using a soft cotton cloth with acetone or pure alcohol. The mirrors are made of a thin layer of aluminium which is sputtered onto a quartz sub- strate.
Appendix: ER060AUTOL setup The configuration is made in the following steps. Enter the IO256 software, section A.1 Set up units (protocol: IOMan) for communication between the analyser and the IOMan modules, section A.2. Load and save the settings from the IOMan modules (inputs and outputs), section A.3.
Enter the IO256 software. Choose Input => Channel setup. For the channel con- nected select Type = “Pt100”, Input range = “direct”, Scaled range = “direct” and Name = “celltemp”. Repeat step 1 for the other input signals. LD500 IO256 input Protocol Channel type...
