ACM 150 1.2. ACM 150 standard warranty The following warranty is between the Purchaser and Honeywell, known hereafter as Seller. • Seller warrants that for one year after on-site start-up, its products shall be free from defects in material and workmanship provided that inspection by seller indicates such defects developed under regular and proper use.
The user must read and follow all warning labels on the monitor and the highlighted CAUTION, WARNING, and DANGER notes in this manual. If the ACM 150 monitor is used in a manner not specified in this manual, the equipment's protection may be impaired. 2.2.
Authorized Users. Such users make decisions about the ACM 150 monitor set-up and use, the location of monitoring points, the use of data produced by the ACM 150 monitor, response to warn and alarm activation levels and incidents, and the response procedures.
A team member of the user’s company or a third-party service company who is a service technician or engineer and has received training from Honeywell or its agent on the operation and service of the ACM 150 monitor and who is authorized by their company to perform this service.
MSDS and take appropriate precautions when performing maintenance on the gas cell. Most of the time, the ACM 150 monitor operates, sampling ambient air without toxins. In the event of a toxic gas release at one of the sample points for the monitor, small amounts of poisonous gas and residue may be trapped inside the sample tubing, filters, and pumps inside the monitor.
The user must provide a circuit breaker for the main power supply per local electrical codes. 2.10. Hazardous Energy Isolation The ACM 150 monitor uses high-pressure CDA (compressed clean, dry air up to 100 psig) and low-pressure (5 psig) nitrogen. Both energies may be stored inside the monitor and must be relieved before performing any maintenance work involving the pneumatics.
ACM 150 2.10.1. Compressed Air Isolation Compressed air can be isolated by ensuring that the ACM 150 monitor compressed air isolation valves for the supply have been installed during installation or setup. Since each site’s requirements vary, it is up to the end-user to provide this isolation. Compressed air- stored energy can be removed by shutting off the air supply and allowing the pressure to bleed.
ACM 150 2.13. Flammability The ACM 150 monitor enclosure is constructed of nonflammable materials. All high- voltage (115/230 Vac) is contained within nonflammable enclosures. 2.14. Potential key failure points and trouble spots Potential key failure points and trouble spots can include, but are not limited to: Chemical exposure due to leaking fittings •...
If any label is absent or loose, please notify Honeywell. A new adhesive label will be sent. It may be applied to the ACM 150 monitor, as shown in the drawings, by the user or one of our service engineers.
As an option, a check valve can be added after the filter to allow the line to be pressurized with air from the ACM 150. This enables an automatic leak check of every sample tube once per day.
ACM 150 3.2.2. Main power switch This switch controls the line power. The ACM 150 monitor cannot operate unless it is switched ON. Switching it OFF disconnects line power to all ACM 150 assemblies. This is also a Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) switch. It accepts an external padlock in the OFF position.
Each area number is also a momentary test switch, which may be pressed and used for test purposes when the ACM 150 monitor is in the Front Panel Mode. In other modes, the switches are inactive.
To perform correctly, check valves must be installed in the sample lines connected to the ACM 150 monitor for the Line Leak Test to perform appropriately. This feature may be disabled via the configuration software.
ACM 150 3.2.6. Cycle valves When the computer selects a sample area, the corresponding sample valve diverts the flow path from bypass to sample. The boost pump draws the air sample in and pumps it to the gas cell connected to the boost pump through the cycle valve assembly.
1 to 6 correspond to valves S1-S6, with S7 and S8 provided for future use. When the ACM 150 monitor is in Front panel Mode, press the buttons to activate the momentary test switches for testing purposes. In other modes, the switches are inactive.
3.2.8.1. Venturi Pumps The ACM 150 monitor has two air-driven ducts (venturi pumps). One is the Bypass Venturi Pump. It draws a constant airflow through the tubes and the sample valves. This flow is only interrupted when the sample valve is energized, i.e., when the ACM is sampling that area.
3.2.8.2. Mechanical pumps The pumps are isolated in the bottom section of the ACM 150 monitor to muffle the noise and isolate vibration. Heat—cooling fans in the bottom section of the cabinet direct airflow across the pumps and their motors. The pumps are accessed by removing the front panel.
The Optics Bench is a Perkin Elmer Model Spectrum Two FTIR (Fourier Transform InfraRed) analyzer. It is the heart of the ACM 150 monitor, providing the analytical power to identify and quantify various gases. For more information, refer to the...
For this reason, the path length of the gas cell is directly proportional to the detection sensitivity. The standard gas cell used in the ACM 150 monitor has a path length of 5 meters. Transfer optics and adjustable mirrors below the cell focus and direct the infrared beam into the cell and out to the detector.
3.2.11. Relay outputs The ACM 150 monitor Relay Output Board is shown below. It has 86 relays. Relays #1 to #80 are arranged in 4 rows of 20 relays. These are the programmable relays. By default, they are preset to activate as follows: Relay #1 to #40: Assigned in sequence to Areas #1 to #40.
ACM 150 The output relays are provided for interface to PLCs, direct activation of alarm devices, and direct initiation of automatic gas shutdown. They may also be wired to status panels. All relays are double-pole double-throw (DPDT) with dry contacts rated for 30 Vdc, 2 A.
• 3.2.12. Relay output control panel The Relay control panel provides both status and control. When the ACM 150 monitor activates a relay, the corresponding LED lights remain lit until the condition clears or the relay is reset. The 80 alarm relays have a momentary test switch active in the Front Panel Mode.
ACM 150 Figure 18. Relay Control Panel The Control Panel Status LEDs for Power On, Manual Mode, and Comm. Active have the same functions as the other control panels. Refer to Control panel status.
This panel provides grounded receptacles for power cords wired to the various subassemblies and mechanical pumps in the ACM 150 monitor. If DC power is required, each subassembly has its power supply. Power to any subassembly can be disconnected by unplugging it from the power distribution panel.
Air sampling system 3.4.1. ACM 150 flow cycles The ACM 150 monitor is designed to move air samples from one area to the next as quickly and efficiently as possible while ensuring that each sample is fresh and representative of the air in the sampled area when analyzed. The Cycle Valves are shown...
This sequence is automatically repeated for each area sampled on a continuous 24-hour cycle. It is only interrupted by Background scans or when the ACM 150 monitor is no longer automatic.
3.4.4. Valve switching and timing ACM 150 flow cycles identify the valves energized during each cycle. The flow schematic for these valves may be obtained on request, including Sample Valves 1-10 and Sample Valves 11-20, 21-30, and 31-40. All valves are shown in the de-energized state. For 3- way valves, the de-energized state is C—common to NO—...
ACM 150 3.4.5. CDA panel The panel below sets and controls the pressure of clean/dry air (CDA). It splits into two air set regulators, one for the Venturi Pump air supply and one for the Line Leak Test. Solenoid valve S9 usually is opened to supply air to drive the two Venturi Pumps. It shuts off automatically when the Backup Exhaust Pump takes over and is manually reset to open.
3.4.6.4. In-line sample filters Honeywell supplies the initial set of inline filters for each sample port on the ACM 150 monitor (from 10 to 40). The filters are installed near the sample inlet. They prevent a build-up of particulates in the tubes and protect the flow control orifices in the Sample Valves.
The following options can be included with or added to any ACM 150. 3.5.1. Sample points The ACM 150 monitor can be purchased with 10, 20, 30, or 40 sample points. There is a maximum of 40 sample points. 3.5.2. Automatic line leak test Sample tube integrity must be confirmed whenever a new tube is installed.
The ACM 150 monitor can provide qualitative identification and quantitative analysis of the chemicals in their gaseous state. Each time the ACM 150 monitor scans an air sample, it collects multiple spectra of that sample, typically 4 or 2. The FTIR spectrometer takes about 1.2 seconds to collect a single scan.
Calibrations taken on one ACM 150 must be valid for computing accurate concentrations on any other ACM 150. In that way, calibration spectra are also valid for all ACM 150s and older models. This is accomplished using a reference (or background) spectrum to which each analysis spectrum is ratioed.
The computation accuracy is further improved using advanced data fitting statistical techniques, known by the broader term of Chemometrics. The technique of PLS (partial least squares) is employed in the ACM 150 monitor to fit a data set from the unknown air spectra to the “training” set in the method.
3.6.5.2. Your Methods - Chemicals Monitored by Your ACM 150 The ACM 150 monitors the air samples for the presence of gases and vapors of liquid chemicals. It will monitor only those chemicals for which it has been configured. Although several methods may be used, the ACM 150 monitor is always provided with at least one analytical method.
4.1. Space requirement No access is required from the rear or either side. The ACM 150 monitor may be against a wall or set back-to-back with another monitor. Allow a space of 3 inches (8 cm) behind the rear for air circulation. Front access is required. Leave a clear space of 36 inches (91 cm) in front of the cabinet door.
ACM 150 4.3. Vacuum sampling system The ACM 150 monitor samples up to 40 areas, which are scanned and analyzed sequentially, as described in the Air sampling system. The main assemblies are: Draws flow through sample tubes and bypasses the flow...
5.1. Receipt and unpacking ACM 150 systems and parts may be shipped in one or more containers. Each packing slip indicates the number of crates. Report any signs of rough handling or damage to the transportation carrier during shipment. Inspect all equipment and parts after removal from shipping containers.
The user must install an external circuit breaker for the power supply line to the ACM 150. It should be dedicated and rated for 20 A at 115 Vac with a minimum of 10,000 AIC (amperes interrupting capacity). Honeywell does not provide an external circuit breaker.
Lockout/Tagout procedures. 5.2.2. Emergency Power-Off (EPO) option Some facilities require equipment like the ACM 150 monitor to have an EPO (or panic) switch. The user can add an EPO switch between the external breaker/switch and the Main Power Switch.
110-115 Vac range, advise Honeywell before placing an order. The ACM 150 monitor can be set up at the factory to operate on AC power in the 200-230 Vac range. The user is responsible for appropriately sizing the external circuit breaker.
Utility gases and exhaust piping 5.3.1. Nitrogen supply The ACM 150 monitor requires a constant supply of nitrogen, which is used as a dry purge gas for the optics bench and as a zero gas for the Background cycle. The requirements...
ACM 150 5.3.3. Exhaust The ACM 150 monitor exhausts the air samples through an exhaust pipe on the top. Connect this to an exhaust duct with no flow restriction compatible with the types of gases monitored by the ACM 150 monitor. The requirements are:...

5.4.5.1. In-line filters The ACM 150 monitor requires a filter at the inlet of each sample line to protect the tubing and internal sampling system from particulate accumulation. Honeywell supplies one filter for each sample port. Install the filters at the sample pick-up point when the tubing is run to each port.
5.5.1. Access plates Figure 27 Shows two access plates on top of the ACM 150 monitor. They are provided for wiring the outputs. Remove one or both plates and cut or drill, as necessary, to accommodate your preferred connection, such as:...
Even a computer reboot will cause this to occur. A bypass switch must be utilized to maintain power in the wire loop so that the ACM 150 monitor can be shut down for service or when loading new software.
This sequence can cycle repeatedly and may result in exposure to toxic gas while ERT personnel are repairing the leak. If the ACM 150 monitor output relays are used to shut down the gas source and interrupt the gas flow, a latching relay must be used in the control loop. If not, the ACM 150 monitor relay will shut down the gas source and stop the leak detected by the ACM 150 monitor.
FTIR Bench installation The FTIR bench has two clamps. After ACM 150 is installed, both clamps must be removed before turning it on. If you need to move ACM 150 or the FTIR bench, those clamps must be assembled before moving.
5.7.3.3. Ethernet interface The ACM 150 monitor is designed to connect to a PLC via gateways. The ACM 150 monitor has an Ethernet interface, and an OPC driver is available. If you use this interface, all data is available to the PLC, i.e., the concentrations of all gases monitored on all ports.
ACM 150 5.8. Installation drawings Drawings may be provided separately to clarify the installation of special or modified assemblies in addition to those in this section. Figure 30. ACM 150 Installation Diagram 1...
There is no danger to the operator when opening doors or the outside panels on the ACM 150 monitor for inspection purposes. No internal plates, shields, or components should be touched, tested, removed, or serviced except by a Trained Technician.
Typically, the ACM 150 monitor operates in normal scanning mode. The display updates each time the ACM 150 monitor completes a scan of a sample area. A scan samples the air from that area, analyzes the sample, and displays the results. The cycle time for each update depends upon the setup and configuration of the ACM 150 monitor.
Below is an image of Recent Scan Results. It updates as each area scan is completed, about every 15 seconds, on a standard ACM 150 monitor. The display shows variables that are determined by the Setup program. These variables can be updated as conditions...
ACM Number all correspond to the inlet port 150 monitor software allows you to enter number, 1 - 40, on top of the ACM 150 the name or equipment ID #. monitor. This is where the sample tube connects the ACM 150 monitor to the remotely sampled locations.

6.5. Alarm 1/Alarm two incidents and actions The primary purpose of the ACM 150 monitor is to generate an Alarm 1/Alarm 2 Incident whenever the level of a hazardous gas exceeds set point limits. Such incidents cause several actions to occur automatically: •...
Figure 40. Export Events 6.5.2. Relay activation When an Alarm 1/Alarm 2 Incident occurs, the ACM 150 monitor software activates the corresponding relays. All ACM 150 monitors have at least 80 output relays, and each relay's action is programmable. The default setup for the ACM 150 monitor assigns these relays to areas 1-40.
Typically, alarm incidents are brief and quickly clear if the alarm event activates automatic gas shutdown. With the gas supply cut off, the leak should dissipate. However, if the leak is not shut off, the ACM 150 monitor will likely sense the alarm event each time it scans the leaking area(s).
The Lock-on Mode can help ERT determine when it is safe for workers to re-enter an area. The Lock-on Mode is also used to introduce a test chemical while the ACM 150 monitor is locked onto the area. Lock-on Mode data is archived.

ACM 150 6.7. Archived Spectrum and Trends The ACM 150 monitor stores the infrared spectrum data from all its modes for the past day. The Archived View allows you to review and identify these spectra selectively. Figure 46. Archived Views...
ACM 150 6.7.1. Archived spectrum view When you select Archived Spectrum View, the menu shown in Figure 46 Display. Use the number keys on the keyboard to enter the desired date and the time interval. Normal: Scans collected in the normal scan mode. Generally, only the regular scans of Alarm 1 and Alarm 2 are essential to the user.
ACM 150 6.7.2. Trend graphs Trend Graphs are available for all the active gases on every scanned point. The data from each scan is stored for this purpose. Trend Graphs provide a means of viewing a leak incident from start to finish.
The average gas concentration for each point and gas is calculated and saved to a TWA file on the ACM 150 monitor hard drive every eight hours. In addition, an MTD file may be created to calculate the average gas concentration for the last 30 days.
Some malfunctions are temporary and self-corrected. For example, if the ACM 150 monitor acquires a “bad scan,” That scan will be rejected, and the system will try again. A malfunction will be generated if it cannot complete a good scan. Some malfunctions, such as a failure of the optional Line Leak Check, do not interrupt the operation of the ACM 150 monitor.

ACM 150 If you know the name for a point but not the gases to be monitored, you can assign the name now and configure the gases later. If there is no status indicator next to the point, it must still be configured.
ACM 150 7.6. Settings – Order of Scan Settings> Order of Scan The Order of Scan defines the point scanning sequence. Points may be scanned in any order and repeated in the sequence, and they can also be in the sequence without being made active.
ACM 150 7.6.2. Configuration key For reference, a configuration key appears down the right side of the screen. This key indicates which points are enabled in Point Configuration. NOTE Only points with Scan Enabled in the Single Point Configuration can be scanned.
ACM 150 7.6.3. Reviewing and changing the order of scan You must wait to log in with an access code to review the scan order, but you may not change it. After you log in, you may edit the sequence and enable or disable points. When editing the Order of the Scan, follow the steps in.
Decide on the scan sequence you want to use before you make any changes. Note that points may be scanned in any sequence. If you want the ACM 150 monitor to spend more time scanning one or more critical points, you can repeat the point(s) in the sequence.
Composite Point groups have only one advantage. They shorten the scan cycle. Since the ACM 150 monitor typically monitors air with no target gases, the readings are usually zero. Composite sampling enables the ACM 150 monitor to increase its scan rate until a gas leak occurs.
ACM 150 CAUTION Composite point sampling may expose employees to hazardous conditions by lowering the gas detection capability. Use Composite Points only if the rate of scan must be increased. The following rules apply and must be followed: Group only the sample areas to avoid combining long and short tube runs, which may cause an imbalance in the composite mixture.
ACM 150 7.8. Settings – Relay Configuration Settings> Relay Configuration The ACM 150 monitor has 80 programmable relay outputs. This section describes the relays' functions and uses. Alarm 1/Alarm 2 incidents and actions. These relays have a default setup that controls their program until that setup is changed.

The FTIR spectra have a high resolution, enabling distinct identification of one chemical from another. The ACM 150 monitor only monitors for chemicals in their gas (vapor) phase. G.5.
Pounds per square inch gauge, relative to atmospheric pressure at sea level. G.9. The ACM 150 monitor reports concentration values for gases in parts per million (PPM) and parts per hundred thousand (PPHT) (water vapor only). A pure gas would have a value of 100% concentration (by volume). One part in one million (1 PPM) is 0.0001% or 100% divided by 1 million.
