URGE UPPLY The P-840LT Pour Point Analyzer’s provides for an optional inert gas purge to prevent condensation from forming on the cryocooler. This optional purge, if supplied, requires clean, dry nitrogen (98% pure) or other inert gas at a pressure of 0.7 bar (1.0 psi); This insert gas connection is made on the left side of Measurement Enclosure (Figures 3-2a and 3-2b).
Proper building codes and safety regulations should be followed. The P-840LT Pour Point Analyzer requires an independent 100 to 240 VAC (±10%), 50/60 Hz. power supply. AC power connections are made through the Customer Connections box attached to the upper left of the top enclosure (Figures 3-2a and 3-2b).
(Figure 3-4) or the Control Enclosure (Figure 3-6). Analog Output One isolated 4-20 mA output is standard on the P-840LT Pour Point Analyzer. An optional two additional 4-20 mA outputs may be provided. These connections are made in the Customer Connections Enclosure (Figure 3-4).
ModBus is available as a factory-installed option which utilizes either the Analyzer’s TCP/IP connection for ModBus or its serial ModBus connection. This connection is made in the Control Enclosure (Figure 3- 6). Consult ORB Instruments for more information. Digital Inputs The Analyzer incorporates four sets of voltage dry contacts that allow the control room to remotely activate selected functions.
Analyzers with a water cooled cryocooler. Turn the coolant supply On and check for leaks. Close the Measurement Enclosure door. You are now ready to run analyses using the factory default settings or program the instrument with your desired operational parameters (see Section 4, Programming).
