Add a label to or near the breaker that clearly states its use (e.g., “AMETEK 993X Analyzer AC Mains Power Breaker”). For safety reasons during maintenance, this breaker allows the AC Mains power to be disconnected from the analyzer prior to performing service on the analyzer.
Page 45
Installing the Sample System All regulatory agency, personnel safety procedures, and installation/ removal procedures must be followed during the installation/removal of the sample system components. A breathing apparatus must be worn when installing/removing equipment from the sample gas ex- traction point. The sample stream may be under positive pressure, and injury or death from inhaling toxic gases in the sample stream could result from attempting to install/remove equipment without the use of a breathing apparatus.

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.
Page 51
Digital Communication The analyzer can be configured to communicate simultaneously via its RS-485 serial port and its Fast Ethernet connection. Contact your Network Administrator for information about proper settings required to establish Modbus and Ethernet communications. Always disconnect AC mains power and/or alternate power sources (example, for relay contacts) to the analyzer before opening any covers or doors on the analyzer, before making any wiring or cable connections, and before and before removing any sample system as-...
Page 52
® 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.
Page 53
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. EH&S PN 903-8820, Rev C...
Page 54
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.
Page 56
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.
Page 57
4. Feed the AC power cable through the Power Entry Port on the bottom of the Electronics Enclosure (see Figure 7.1). Connect the GND wire to the Ground Stud (see Figure 5.1). Connect the L1 and L2(N) wires to the terminals on the AC Distribution Board (see Figure 5.1).

System Start-Up and Verification When powering up the analyzer, certain checks should be performed to en- sure the analyzer is operating properly and is ready to be commissioned into operation. Resolve any problems before proceeding to the next start-up stage. Before proceeding, test the area around the analyzer for flammable gases and proceed only when the area is found to be safe.
Page 60
Powering Up the Analyzer When powering up the analyzer, certain checks should be performed to ensure the analyzer is operating properly. These checks are discussed in the follow- ing procedure. If there are problems encountered during power-up, refer to “Performing Start-Up Diagnostic Checks” (following this procedure) for help in diagnosing and correcting problems.
Page 61
If the HMI displays the message “UV 99xx Controller not connected to HMI unit” check the Communications Cables between the UV Bench Controller board and the Modbus Gateway on P2 or between the Mod- bus Gateway on E1 and the HMI to ensure they are properly connected. Refer to the Analyzer Internal Component Layout drawing (Figure 4) and the Analyzer Internal Wiring Diagram (Figure 2.9) for the locations of the connection points on the UV Bench Controller board and the Modbus...
Page 62
Temp Control Corrective Action Take appropriate safety precautions and check the related RTD for a short or an open circuit. If necessary, replace the RTD with an AMETEK-approved replacement part. Contact AMETEK Service for assistance. Problem Encountered Temperature Low alarm(s) remains active after the analyzer has been allowed to warm up for at least 30 minutes.
Page 63
Problem Encountered During the normal Human-Machine Interface (HMI) start-up sequence: • The message “Connecting to controller(s)...” appears on the HMI, followed by the HOME screen appearing, do not occur, or • The message “UV 99xx Controller not connected to HMI unit” appears on the HMI, and the HOME screen does not appear immediately after applying AC power.
Page 64
Pressure Leak Check The analyzer has been checked at the factory for pressure leaks. However, fittings can loosen during transport. Also, fittings are tightened when the Sample, Vent, and other lines are connected during initial installation, and fittings are loosened/retightened whenever the Measuring Cell is removed and reinstalled (i.e., for service).
Page 65
3. From the Auto-CAL screen, press NS (non-sampling) to shut off the sample gas flow. Figure 8.2. Auto-CAL screen, NS (non- sampling) Flow Control mode enabled. Bleed down the sample system to atmospheric pressure (check gauge). To avoid tearing the Membrane Filters in the Filterblock, always bleed down the sample system pressure on the downstream (outlet) side of the Filterblock.
Page 66
Figure 8.3. Auto-CAL screen, colA (Column A) Flow Control mode enabled. 5. While observing the Sample Gas Pressure Gauge on the analyzer Column Block, use the Sample Gas Pressure Regulator to increase the Zero gas pressure to 550 kPa (80 PSIG). 6.
Page 67
9. After the sample system has been bled down, recap the Vent Outlet. Disconnect the Zero gas from the Sample Inlet fitting and reconnect it to the Zero Gas fitting on the analyzer. Reconnect the Sample Line to the Sample Inlet fitting on the analyzer. Keep the Sample Inlet valve closed.
Page 68
16. Open the valves isolating the analyzer from the sample stream. Set the pressure to 550 kPa (80 PSIG) using the Sample Gas Pressure Regulator or the Rotameter. If using the Rotameter, the arrow on the handle of the three-way valve must be facing downward while setting the sample gas flow rate.
Page 69
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.
Page 70
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.
Page 71
c. Power down the analyzer. Wait 5 minutes to allow the high-voltage capacitors in the source- lamp power supply to discharge. d. Open the Electronics Enclosure door. 2. If gas fittings were disconnected/reconnected while servicing the analyzer, perform a leak (pressure) check on the sample system fittings to ensure there are no leaks in the sample system.
Page 72
