1900 Digital O Gas Analyser Remove the power/interface compartment cover WARNING The power/interface compartment cover is heavy. Ensure that you do not drop the cover once it is disengaged from the body of the analyser. If you do, you may injure yourself or damage other equipment. CAUTION Place the cover carefully on a clean surface, resting on the exterior of the cover, so that the pregreased threads do not become contaminated.
1900 Digital O Gas Analyser • The volt-free relay contacts are isolated from the analyser mains circuits and from each other, so that either mains voltage circuits or signal voltage circuits can be connected to the contacts. • The milliAmp output and (where enabled) RS485 terminals are separated from the analyser mains circuits by reinforced insulation.
1900 Digital O Gas Analyser 5.3.3 Interface signal connections WARNING All of the analyser interface signal outputs are considered to be incendive and therefore must only be connected to safe area equipment. CAUTION To comply with EMC requirements, you must use screened 4 to 20 mA cables to connect to the milliAmp outputs.
1900 Digital O Gas Analyser 5.3.4 Mains electrical supply connection CAUTION Ensure that the analyser as supplied is correctly configured for your mains electrical supply voltage. If the analyser is not correctly configured for your mains electrical supply voltage, the analyser may not operate correctly, or it may be damaged when you operate it.
1900 Digital O Gas Analyser Refit the power/interface compartment cover WARNING The power/interface compartment cover is heavy. Ensure that you do not drop the cover when you refit it to the body of the analyser. If you do, you may injure yourself or damage other equipment. CAUTION Ensure that the pregreased threads of the cover do not become contaminated.
1900 Digital O Gas Analyser Connect the sample/calibration gas pipe(s) WARNING Ensure that the pipes that you connect to the analyser are routed so that they do not present a trip hazard to people. WARNING Sample and calibration gases may be toxic, asphyxiant or flammable. Ensure that the external connections are leak free at full operating pressure before you use sample or calibration gases.
1900 Digital O Gas Analyser Switch on/set-up When the electrical supply to the analyser is switched on, the Alarm LED and the Fault LED will both go on for 1 second to demonstrate that they are functioning correctly, and will then go off again. When you switch on the electrical supply to the analyser, a ’start-up screen’...

1900 Digital O Gas Analyser Configuring the measurement alarms 6.4.1 Alarm modes and levels Two separate measurement alarms are available, and you can configure each alarm to operate in one of three modes: Alarm mode Operation None The alarm is not used (that is, an alarm condition will not be activated under any circumstances).
1900 Digital O Gas Analyser 6.4.3 Hysteresis levels The hysteresis level associated with a measurement alarm determines when an alarm condition (once activated) is deactivated, and this depends on the alarm mode, as follows: Alarm mode Effect of hysteresis Low alarm Once the low alarm condition has been activated, the alarm condition will not be deactivated until a sample measurement is above (alarm level + hysteresis level).
1900 Digital O Gas Analyser 6.4.4 Setting the measurement alarm levels and modes Ensure that the measurement alarm and hysteresis levels are not too close to the expected sample measurements. (If they are, minor - and acceptable - variations in your sample gas concentrations will result in spurious alarms.) ...
1900 Digital O Gas Analyser 6.4.5 Unlatching measurement alarms When necessary, use the following procedure to unlatch any ‘latched’ measurement alarm(s) (see Section 6.4.2): On the Measurement screen, press the soft key; the Alarm option screen (Figure 26) will then be displayed. With the "Unlatch"...
1900 Digital O Gas Analyser Configuring and using the milliAmp output 6.5.1 Overview The analyser is supplied with a milliAmp output facility. The milliAmp output provides a constantly updated output (through a signal cable connected to the analyser), in which the current represents the value of gas sample measurements. The analyser allows you to specify two separate output configurations for the milliAmp outputs: Range 1 and Range 2.
1900 Digital O Gas Analyser 6.5.2 Introduction to the milliAmp output parameters The milliAmp output parameters that you must set up are as follows: Parameter Values/options Range 1 high level The Range 1 highest sample measurement (span) *.
