  • Page 7: Electromagnetic Compatibility

    CAUTION ELECTRICAL ENVIRONMENTS. The various configurations of the 3050-AP should not produce, or fall victim to, electromagnetic disturbances as specified in the European Union’s EMC Directive. Strict compliance to the EMC Directive requires certain installation techniques and wiring practices be used in order that erratic behavior of the Analyzer, or its electronic neighbors be prevented or minimized.

  • Page 11: Overview

    CHAPTER 1 Overview The 3050-AP Moisture Analyzer is a smart sensor that measures trace concen- trations of moisture in a process gas stream. The 3050-AP is compatible with He, Ar, Ne, Xe, Kr, O , NO, CO, CO , refrigerants, air, and specialty gases.
  • Page 12: Controller/Communication

    Figure 1.2: 3050-AP Flow Diagram gas streams, is a function of the moisture content of the sample gas. Thus, the moisture concentration of the sample gas is determined from this frequency difference. The calibration data, which relates the moisture concentration of the gas stream to the measured frequency difference, are stored in an EE- PROM within the QCM sensor module.
  • Page 13: Internal Timing

    The 3050-AP has no local user programming functions. It requires serial communication with an external PC for configuration. Once configured, the analyzer is capable of stand alone operation. The analyzer is factory config- ured and packaged with configurator software for initial setup of operating parameters.

  • Page 17: Installation

    The 3050-AP is designed to operate on a clean gas stream; specifically, the sample gas stream must be free of particulates and aerosols. If the 3050-AP analyzer is being used on a clean gas stream (i.e. - free from particulates and aerosols), AMETEK Process Instruments recommends...
  • Page 18: Sample Pressure And Temperature Requirements

    AMETEK Process Instruments recommends that a inline, 1/8” tube 7 UM filter (supplied) be installed an the inlet of the analyzer. AMETEK filter (part number 271639001) is ideally suited for this purpose, and will mount directly on the inlet fitting of the analyzer.
