    The various configurations of the 3050-RM Moisture Analyzer 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 that certain installation techniques and wiring practices are used to pre- vent or minimize erratic behavior of the Analyzer or its electronic neighbors.

  • Page 18: Moisture Sensor

    Moisture Sensor Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) The 3050-RM Analyzer uses a quartz crystal microbalance sensor to measure water vapor concentration. This is a piezoelectric device that is capable of extremely sensitive mass measurement. To make the QCM sensitive to water vapor the surface is coated with a thin film of hygroscopic material.

  • Page 19: Gas Flow

    Gas Flow Sample System The 3050-RM Moisture Analyzer sample system enables the analyzer to make reli- able water vapor measurements at concentrations down to 0.1 PPMV. The sample system serves several purposes: • It controls the sample conditions at the Sensor assembly (e.g., flow rate, temperature, pressure).

  • Page 20: Sample Flow

    Sample Flow Normal operation of the 3050-RM Analyzer uses an internal bypass, which increases the response speed of the system. However, the 3050-RM is capable of running in a gas-saver mode as well, which allows the analyzer to run on a sample volume of approximately 150 SCCM.

  • Page 21: Solenoid Valves

    The three-way solenoid valves (SV2, SV3, SV4) are used to select the gas stream that is passed through the sensor; the remaining two (2) streams are passed to the vent. During normal operation of the 3050-RM, the analyzer continuously cycles between the Sample- and Dry-Reference gas streams. This switching action modulates the water vapor concentration to which the sensor is exposed.

  • Page 22: Verifying The Analyzer

    During the verification operation, a new span factor is calcu- lated for the sensor, and this value is then applied for all subsequent readings. AMETEK recommends performing a verification cycle monthly. How- ever, no verification cycle should be performed during the startup of the analyzer.

  • Page 23: Dew/Frost Point Measurements

    Dew point values are calculated from the moisture concentration measure- ments (PPMV) and the sample or process pressure. For temperatures below 0 °C, the 3050-RM uses equations to determine the water vapor pressure over ice, rather than over super-cooled water. Thus, the 3050-RM reports a frost- point temperature consistent with the physical form of the condensed phase in a real process stream.

  • Page 25: Installation And Start-Up

    All regulatory agency and personnel safety proce- dures for your jurisdiction must be followed. Read this entire chapter before installing the 3050-RM Moisture Ana- lyzer. Failure to do so may impair protection against fire, electric shock and injury originally provided by this equipment. Do not use this analyzer in a manner not specified in this manual.

  • Page 26: Pre-Installation Requirements

    Analyzer Requirements Space Requirements The 3050-RM Analyzer requires an area 48 cm wide x 13 cm high x 42 cm deep (19" x 5.25" x 16.5") plus rear clearance for analyzer connections and proper ventilation (Figures 2-1.1, 2-1.2, and 2-1.3).
