UV Source Lamps Disposal AMETEK recommends that all UV lamps – whether they are new, used, or dam- aged in any way – need to be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner. Most UV lamps do not contain restricted substances listed under European RoHS 2 Directives.
However, some electronic devices may be susceptible to interference, therefore, ensure that this equipment is used in a suitable environment. The various configurations of the 993X Analyzer should not produce, or fall victim to, electro- magnetic 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 prevent or minimize erratic behavior of the Analyzer or its electronic neighbors.
Tel: +1 403 235 8400 ametekpi.com FCC Compliance Statement (993X Gas Analyzer subject to Part 15): This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Special Warnings and Information Equipment Used in Hazardous Locations Refer to Specifications in this document for details about the suitability of this equipment in hazardous locations. This analyzer must not be commissioned until a person trained in the area of evaluating equipment for use in hazardous classified locations has confirmed that this equipment and its installation are in compliance with the requirements for the area.
The AMETEK 993X Gas Analyzer uses photometric analysis to continuously measure the concentration of various gas components (example, H S levels in pipeline quality natural gas). The 993X Analyzer can also use various sensor technologies to measure the concentration of one or multiple gas components – i.e., hydrogen (H ), carbon dioxide (CO ), and/or total hydrocarbons (THC) –...

993X Analyzer. Refer service requirements to qualified personnel. Read this entire section before beginning installation of the 993X Analyzer. Failure to do so, and / or use of the 993X Analyzer in a man- ner not specified in this manual, may impair the protection against fire, electrical shock, and personal injury originally provided by this equipment.
If the Optical Bench appears to be damaged open the ESD packaging (follow ESD precautions to prevent ESD damage to the electronics), observe the Optical Bench, and contact AMETEK Service with details of the damage. Reseal the ESD-safe packaging while awaiting instructions from AMETEK.
Analyzer Site Preparation The 993X Analyzer is approved for installation in hazardous areas classified as Class I, Division 2, and ATEX/IECEx Zone 2. Observe the following guidelines when selecting an analyzer installation loca- tion: • Select a readily accessible position for the analyzer to allow for routine maintenance.
Always install the analyzer in a location that is as free as possible from vibrations. • The 993X Analyzer is rated for outdoor operation (IP66 / NEMA 4X and ambient -20 °C to +50 °C/-4 °F to 122 °F). The analyzer should be shaded from direct sunlight to minimize solar heat- ing and to allow for better viewing of the HMI (Human-Machine Interface).
Tools, Equipment, and Supplies Required for Installation To install the analyzer, you need the following: • M4 hex driver required to turn the Upper/Lower Cam Pins used to secure the Optical Bench on the Optical Bench Mount inside the Electronics En- closure.
After the Optical Bench Assembly has been installed, store its shipping box and packing material in a safe location so that it can be used to safely return the Optical Bench to AMETEK, in the event it needs to be returned to the factory.

AC Power and Signal Connections Check ground continuity to all electrical enclosures before applying power. Connections to the AC source must be made only by qualified electri- cians. AC source must be single-phase, grounded-neutral type. Cable glands suitable for use in Division 2, Zone 2 areas must be used for all field wiring.
® Connections for Modbus RTU on the RS-485 (Optional) The RS-485 terminals can be used for remote communication with a Distrib- uted Control System (DCS), Data Acquisition System (DAS), or Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) using Modicon Modbus® RTU protocol. The Modbus® RTU protocol can be used with the analyzer operating as a slave device, re- sponding to Modbus queries within one second, and providing full access to all registers.
One (1) Micro-USB port is included on each Controller board installed, and is used only to upgrade the individual Controller board analyzer firmware. These ports should not be accessed for normal analyzer operations. If necessary, contact AMETEK Service. 42 | 993X Gas Analyzer PN 903-8820, Rev A...
The Cable Entry Cover Plate provides multiple cable entry ports at the bottom of the Electronics Enclosure. Plug each unused cable entry port with an appropriate threaded plug (supplied by AMETEK). Shielding is required to maintain EMC compliance. If shielded cable is used it should be terminated only at the end of the user device.
If there is a discrepancy, contact the local distributor or the factory. The 993X Analyzer is available in two operating voltage configura- tions (120 VAC or 240 VAC), configured by AMETEK at the factory per customer/end user requirements. See the Product Label on the Electronics Enclosure door for the operat- ing voltage for your analyzer before working on the analyzer.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting Before performing any maintenance on the analyzer, test the area around the analyzer for flammable gases and proceed only when the area is found to be safe. Cleaning the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) Clean the graphic panel on the HMI regularly to avoid dust build-up. When cleaning the graphic panel, power to the HMI (analyzer) must be OFF.
The 993X Analyzer is available in two operating voltage configura- tions (120 VAC and 240 VAC), configured by AMETEK at the factory per customer/end user requirements. See the Product Label on the Electronics Enclosure door for the operat- ing voltage for your analyzer before working on the analyzer.
