HAZARDOUS AREA USE The standard unpurged 700B is suitable only for use in safe areas. The 700B control unit and sensor head for installation in hazardous areas may also be purged. OPTIONS Options available include isolated analogue output and alarms, a data link, facilities for calculating and displaying flue gas temperature and combustion efficiency (using an external thermocouple).
SECTION 2 ANALYSER DESCRIPTION 2.1. INTRODUCTION The analyser comprises two separate units, the sensor head and the control unit, which may be mounted up to 300m apart. Refer to Appendix 3. The sensor head mounts directly onto the flue with a probe tube which projects through the duct wall into the process gas to draw out a sample for analysis.
interrogation of alarms which may arise within the analyser. If the temperature and efficiency option is fitted, flue gas temperature and combustion efficiency can be displayed. 2.2.3 Control Unit Functions The main board of the control unit inputs the analogue signals from the sensors via a 12 bit A to D converter.
The oxygen and optional combustible sensors are mounted external to the flue. Sample gas is drawn through the sensors by means of an air driven aspirator. The oxygen content of the sample is measured with the well-proven Servomex zirconia cell. The optional combustibles sensor is a Constant Temperature Catalytic (CTC) sensor and is used to determine the level of combustible gases (expressed as carbon monoxide) in the sample stream.
Figure 2.2 Sensor Head Flow Schematic A small portion of the aspirator air supply is tapped via the capillary restrictor/flame trap (11) to provide a reference oxygen level in the reference side of the oxygen measuring cell (6). The total sample gas flow is monitored by the flow sensor (8) which initiates an alarm if the sample flow drops below a preset level.
The terminal block on the sensor head contains voltage selector links to adapt the unit to the local supply voltage. AIR REGULATOR UNITS Three types of air regulator unit are available which are designed for different applications. In all cases inlet air pressure should be in the range 0.6 - 6 barg (10 - 100 psig). 2.4.1 Oxygen Only Analysers This is a simple air pressure regulator which controls the air pressure applied to the aspirator in...
Figure 2.3 Flow Schematic - Air Supply and Calibration Unit MOUNTING FLANGE The flue has to be fitted with a flange for attachment of the sensor head. The standard flanges are suitable for a skin temperature up to 350 C (662 F).
PROBE TUBES A wide range of probe tubes, with or without filters, is available. Servomex can advise on the choice of probe for a specific application. Standard probes include: Unsupported filter probes up to 1 metre long for a maximum flue gas temperature of...

The analyser fault alarm will warn of the following: Low sample flow Sensor head under or over temperature Oxygen cell under or over temperature Oxygen cell output out of limits In addition to the volt-free contact alarm there are three non-isolated alarms for: Oxygen high Oxygen low Analyser fault (alarms as above)
INSTALLATION INTRODUCTION 3.1.1 General This Section gives details on the installation of the Model 700B analyser and the various options which are available. Specific standards of safety are not included in this manual, since requirements of relevant authorities vary widely.
Cables must comply with local electrical safety requirements. Cable glands and unused gland holes should be weatherproof to IP standards, see Section 6.1.2.7. Adaptors are included to enable 20mm glands to be used. A gland kit for the 700B is available (part no. 00700999).
Fully calibrate analyser and set up parameters as required. (Refer to sections 4.6 & 4.7) The analyser is now fully operational and should be left powered up continuously. Note : Where options are fitted, the additional installation, both mechanical and electrical, should be incorporated with the above as convenient.
3.2.2 Interface Card WARNING Disconnect the electrical supply before fitting this or any option card. Open the control unit case and plug the interface adaptor card (00722901) into the main board, making sure that the card is correctly orientated, see Figure 3.2 (this card will already be fitted if options were specified originally).
Figure 3.2 Fitting Option Cards INSTALLATION OF SENSOR HEAD AND PROBE TUBE 3.3.1 General The sensor head is designed with a flange to mount to the flue/process duct. It is essential that all the mounting bolts are tightened evenly during installation to prevent the sensor head tilting and thus causing a leak.
3.3.2 Mounting Flange Two mounting flange options are available for mating surface temperature up to 350°C. One flange is designed for use with flues where the wall is thick enough to permit the flange to be welded to it. The second flange is designed to be bolted to the flue wall where it is either inconvenient or too thin to permit welding.
The flange is then welded to the free end of this pipe. This pipe is not supplied by Servomex. For dimensions see Figure 3.5B. Note : When a length of tube is used on a circular duct it should be lagged to prevent problems occurring due to excessive heat loss to the atmosphere.
Figure 3.5B Mounting Flange Orientation - Circular Flue Ducting 3.3.5 Bolt-on Flange This flange may be bolted to the flue wall using screws into tapped holes or by using screws through clearance holes with securing nuts on the inner flue wall. Refer to figure 3.5C. Cut a hole 96mm in diameter in the wall of the flue.
3.3.6 Sensor Head Orientation Details The preferred orientations of the sensor head are shown in Figure 3.6. If the sensor head is mounted in a non-preferred orientation the accuracy or service life may be reduced. Figure 3.6 Preferred Sensor Head Orientations SENSOR HEAD TO CONTROL UNIT INTERCONNECTION 3.4.1 General...
Ensure that link LK9 on the main circuit board is installed. See Figure 5.1 Ensure that terminals 9 and 10 on TB3 in the control unit are linked as shown in the wiring diagram in appendices 1 and 2. See Figure 5.1 If the auxiliary air option is used, the link LK1 on the combustibles card 00722925 must be removed.
3.4.3 Signals Cable A cable with 5 twisted pairs is used for signals from the sensor head to the control unit . If the analyser has the combustibles option then 10 twisted pairs are required. Note: All the signal cables must have a braided overall screen or a foil overall screen and drain wire. On cables not connected to the sensor head, the screen should be terminated at the earth bus bar as shown in Figure 3.7A The cables connected to the sensor head should be terminated at the capacitive earth terminals on the ends of the earth bus bar as shown - two are provided, one for...
3.4.4 AC Electrical Supply The analyser is not fitted with a switch for disconnecting the electrical supply. A suitable isolating switch must be installed by the user. Caution Ensure that the voltage selector links in the control unit and sensor head are correct for the supply voltage (see Figs 3.9 and 3.10).
Page 37
3.4.4.1 CE Marked Analyser The mains power connection to this instrument is made via an electrical filter unit attached to the bottom of the case. The power cable into this unit does not need to be screened. To connect the Control Unit to the mains supply: Isolate the mains supply at source.

ASSEMBLY OF PROBE TUBES AND SENSOR HEAD 3.9.1 General There are many possible configurations for the probe assemblies but for clarity only the most commonly used versions are shown. It is recommended that the analyser should be powered-up before the sensor head is fitted to the flue.
The sensor head, as supplied, vents back to the flue. With the exception of the unsupported probe version, it is possible to vent to atmosphere providing the flue pressure is within +/- 50mmwg. To convert to vent to atmosphere the plug (14) in figure 3.23 and (10) in figures 3.24 and 3.25 should be removed and replaced in the vent hole on the front face of the sensor head.

3.10 CALIBRATING GASES The following calibration gases must be available: Oxygen Sensor: Air point: Clean, dry air, free of combustibles. Plant compressed air may be used providing it is clean and free of water and oil vapour. End point: 0.3% O in N , nominal, is recommended (can be in the range 0.25 to 2.5% O ).
Check that the calibration port is sealed to prevent air ingress. If an isolating valve is fitted it should be closed. Check that the correct electrical supply fuse (F2) in the control unit has been fitted. See 3.4.4. 3.12.1 Initial Start-up When the electrical supply is switched on, the display will indicate 'RESTART' shortly before displaying the message 'PROBE 713/4' which identifies the type of sensor head fitted.
The analyser can be requested, via the keypad, to display messages to aid fault diagnosis. Note: All instruments are despatched with the password set to: 000 If a new password is assigned make a note of it and store in a safe place. If it is lost, contact Servomex.

5.2.2.1 CELL TEMP HI or CELL TEMP LO CELL TEMP HI or CELL TEMP LO occur when the zirconia cell temperature is more than ±32C from its set point. Note: 1. If there are problems with the sample block temperature control this will also affect the zirconia cell temperature.
This is not an analyser fault but a process problem. Prolonged operation under these conditions may have an adverse effect on the oxygen cell. In these circumstances contact Servomex. Check: 1. Check all cabling between controller and sensor head.
5.2.2.2.2 Cell Output Voltage The cell output voltage, at a cell temperature of 725C, can be calculated from: where P is the percentage oxygen concentration. This equation assumes an offset of zero. Any offset observed at the air point should be added or subtracted according to its polarity. Figure 5.2 shows the cell output and its acceptable limits.
5.2.2.5 CO. SENS FLT The combustibles sensor consists of two pellistors in a heated body. A detailed description of its operation is given in Section 6. On the combustibles board (00722925) there are four diagnostic indicators which identify the specific fault (see Figure 5.1b). These indicators are for: Combustibles sensor short circuit (pcb ident)

5.2.2.6 Combustibles Board (00722925) Set Up Procedure This board is factory set. However if the combustibles sensor and or the combustibles board are changed then the following procedure must be carried out:- Set the combustibles sensor constant to 3. Refer to section 4.6.3. Connect a supply of calibration air to the calibration inlet of the sensor head at a flow rate of 600ml/min and allow sensor to stabilize.
5.2.2.7 CAL.FAIL The CAL.FAIL display only occurs within the sensor calibration routine, refer to section 4.7. In the case of the combustibles sensor this indicates that with air as calibrating gas the voltage between TP6 and TP2 on the combustibles board is not between 0 and 5 volts. Similarly the CAL.FAIL display will also occur when using 1% carbon monoxide in air as a calibrating gas if the voltage between TP6 and TP2 on the combustibles card is not between 1 and 5 volts greater than the voltage measured at the same point using air as calibrating gas.
Check cabling between sensor head and control unit. Check that the flow trip parameter is set to the most suitable for the application. On most 700B applications we recommend setting this to F. TRIP ZERO. Refer to section 4.6.1. Check that the aspirator air solenoid valve has opened.
Page 117
Check that with the aspirator air correctly set, as above, that there is a sample inlet flow of approximately 300 ml/min. If not, check for a blockage in the sample system. Investigate external and internal filter, inlet probe tubes, internal pipework, flametraps and finally the sample block.
Control unit Function Description Normal Reading Test points TP4, TP1 Aspirator air turned off, no sample flow. 20 - 30mV typical* (Main board) TP4, TP1 Aspirator air on and set to pressure written on the 30 - 40mV typical* sensor head printed circuit board. Wait two minutes to stabilise.
The repair of printed circuit boards at component level is not recommended and it is normal to trace faults on these boards by substitution. This section covers the removal of these boards so that any faulty ones can be replaced and returned to Servomex for repair. Refer to figure 3.2 for identification and relationship of parts.
Do not move the board from side to side extensively to remove it as this may damage the connector on the interface adaptor board. Refit in the reverse order to above - Note - Ensure that option cards 00722925 (combustibles) and 00722911 (isolated O output) are not fitted above one another.
REPAIR OF THE SENSOR HEAD This section covers removal and replacement of the major components in the sensor head. Refer to Figure 5.3 for identification and relationship of all parts. It is recommended that anti-seize compound is used on certain gas connectors. This is detailed in the appropriate places below.

Corrosion blockages are due to the process sample falling below its dew-point temperature and condensing. This will only occur if the sensor head has not been correctly installed. Ensure that there are no cold spots along the length of the inlet tube. These may be due to mounting the sensor head on a stand-off.
RETRO-FITTING COMBUSTIBLES SENSOR KIT (00714998) (See Figure 5.3). Turn off the electrical supply to the analyser and allow the sensor head to cool. Remove and discard the auxiliary air blanking nut (32) from the sensor head cover (18) and remove the cover. Refer to section 5.4.1. Remove and discard the combustibles sensor blanking tube (A).
Switch on the analyser and allow it to warm up and stabilize. Set up the combustibles board, 00722925 referring to section 5.2.2.6. Referring to section 4.7, calibrate the oxygen and combustibles sensors. Set in the combustibles parameter as required referring to section 4.6.3.

6.1.2.4 Accuracy (typical) Under constant conditions and directly after span and air point calibration, the following accuracy will be achieved: Oxygen Output: ±0.1% oxygen up to 10% oxygen ±2.5% of reading between 10% and 21% oxygen Combustibles output: ±5% of range selected on factory calibration gases NOTE: Accuracy is defined as the net effect of non-repeatability and non-linearity.
Oxygen alarm and system fault outputs are available via the isolated oxygen output and alarm module (refer to Section 6.4). The combustibles level alarm is available on the combustibles version of the 700B as follows: Range: 0-4.99% CO + OFF (0.01% steps)
PROBES/RESPONSE TIMES 6.2.1 INTRODUCTION Response time depends upon probe type and length. There are essentially 5 categories of probe: < 500°C, Filter probes, unsupported < 500°C, Filter probes, supported < 1000°C, High temperature alloy probes < 1600°C, Ceramic probes < 1800°C, Ceramic probes All data given in this Section refers to the Vent to Flue Options and are typical times only.
Sample average temperature: If the average temperature of the sample gas in the probe tube can be established or estimated by measuring temperature profile along the tube, use column 2 to find the appropriate correction factor. 6.2.2 RESPONSE TIMES Table 2 Probe Type Description DV lag...
6.3.1 OXYGEN SENSOR The Servomex (R) zirconia sensor (Figure 6.3) is manufactured using yttria stabilised zirconia. When this material is heated to a temperature above 600°C it will conduct oxygen ions. The oxygen ion conductivity increases exponentially with temperature. The sensor consists of a disc of yttria stabilised zirconia mounted in a tube of the same material.
The output of the cell is given by the Nernst equation: where 20.95 and P are the oxygen contents of air and the sample respectively (%). For the nominal cell temperature of 725°C: (RT/nF) = 21.50mV Hence the cell output is given by: E = 21.50ln(20.95/P)mV.

experience the same variations in ambient conditions and as oxidation does not occur on the passive bead the presence of combustible gas is indicated by a difference in temperature between the two beads. This can be measured by comparing the resistances of the coils or the currents passing through them.
