    Section 1 Model 600 MHFID Analyzer Page 5 of 105 Manual Rev 1.0 1.10. Removing Protective Caps Do not apply AC power to this analyzer until removing the plastic ¼-inch caps from the sample/zero/span/fuel fittings on the rear panel. Failure to remove these caps will result in analyzer contamination.

  • Page 21: Features

    2.1. Description The CAI Model 600 MHFID Heated Total Hydrocarbon Analyzer utilizes a highly sensitive flame ionization detector (FID) for measuring volatile hydrocarbon concentrations in industrial or vehicle emission applications. Also included is an accessory (CUTTER) that can be used to remove all but the methane content of the sample gas.

  • Page 22: Ranges

    Section 2 Model 600 MHFID Analyzer Page 7 of 105 C- ETC-US/CE _ Manual Rev 1.0 2.2.1. Ranges The analyzer is factory configured with four physical ranges of 30, 300, 3,000, 30,000 ppm. The flexibility of the design will easily accommodate software ranges that can used for specific applications.

The analyzer will measure the Total Hydrocarbon Content (THC), the Methane content, and then calculate the Non Methane results.

  • Page 33: Alarms

    Pressures must be maintained at a constant level. A minor variation between the values indicated on the CAI data sheet and the indicated values is not cause for concern. It is important that once operational, these pressures remain very constant. Sample pressure the most critical.
