GPR-7100 Portable Analyzer User Manual Set-up The analyzer is approved for indoor as well as outdoor use if the ambient temperature remains within the specified range. Please refer to "Appendix A - Technical Specifications" on page 36. This portable analyzer configuration is designed to be used on a flat horizontal surface.
Sample In and Sample Out ports are labeled. Figure 3. Gas ports The sample inlet tubing for ppm portable analyzer model GPR-7100 must be metallic, preferably stainless steel (SS). The sample vent line may be of SS or hard plastic tubing with low gas permeability.
NOTE: If venting at slightly positive pressure (maximum 10 PSIG) a back pressure regulator is required, and the sensor must be calibrated within the same conditions as sampling. If assistance is required to configure a measurement at a positive pressure, please contact PST with full application details for a review.
GPR-7100 Portable Analyzer User Manual Connect your gas After reading "3 Before connecting gas" on page 9, follow the procedure below specific to your por- table analyzer to connect your gas. To connect your sample gas: for port designation. Figure 3 on page 9 Calibrate the sample gas pressure by setting the same input pressure and flow rate as the sample gas.
GPR-7100 Portable Analyzer User Manual Calibration gases NOTE: It is recommended to use ambient air and span gases for calibration to ensure the best measurement readings. A cylinder of the appropriate certified span gas should be made available for installation and commissioning.
GPR-7100 Portable Analyzer User Manual Disconnect your gas Follow the procedure below that is applicable to your portable H S analyzer model to disconnect your gas. Shut down sample gas source. Allow air to flow through pump for 5 minutes.
GPR-7100 Portable Analyzer User Manual Operation This section details the best practice operation for a correctly installed analyzer. Please refer to "2 Installation" on page 5 for analyzer installation guidance and gas connection. User interface The portable analyzer has a 3.5-inch (88.9 mm) LCD display and a five-key keypad interface.
GPR-7100 Portable Analyzer User Manual Initial start-up and self-test Once you press the button, the analyzer will immediately start up. The digital display responds instantaneously and will display an initial start-up screen: Figure 9. GPR-series analyzer start-up screen After self-diagnostic tests, the analyzer switches to sampling mode and displays the H S reading from the sensor (larger size numeric value) and the measurement range (small size font with units).
GPR-7100 Portable Analyzer User Manual Menus NOTE: Available menu options and sequences will vary between analyzer model and sensor type. 6.3.1 Main Menu and interface keys To access the Main Menu, press the Menu key and the following Main Menu display will appear: Figure 11.
GPR-7100 Portable Analyzer User Manual 6.3.2 Range selection Within the Range menu, you can select 6 options. The range is linked to the display and the 4...20 mA analog output of the analyzer. Figure 12. Portable analyzer Range and Default Range displays...
GPR-7100 Portable Analyzer User Manual Measurements outside manual range If the H S reading goes above the manual or auto range maximum value, the values will be displayed up to 10% above the maximum range. Beyond this, an OVER RANGE warning will be displayed.

GPR-7100 Portable Analyzer User Manual NOTE: Entering a new serial number will reset calibration (span and zero) to default values and erase the Calibration Log. To change the sensor serial number: to select Sensor SN=00000000. The display will change as shown below in Figure Figure 15.
GPR-7100 Portable Analyzer User Manual Zero calibration The zero calibration adjustments are limited to 30% of the most sensitive range. All analyzers are QC- tested to confirm the zero calibration. Should you observe a zero calibration error more than 30% of the lowest range, we recommend first: Check the sample system for any possible leaks.
Page 27
GPR-7100 Portable Analyzer User Manual In the sub-menu, set the Span Gas value. If using certified cylinder gas, this can be found on the certificate that was supplied with the cylinder: to progress to the next digit or to move to the previous digit; use edit the values.
NOTE: The correction value does not relate to actual readings it is a proportional value. This value can be used by the PST Factory for diagnostics. Reset calibration This function will reset both span and zero calibration information to default values. It will not clear the Calibration Log.

GPR-7100 Portable Analyzer User Manual Battery recharge The analyzer is powered by an integrated lead-acid rechargeable battery that is mounted inside the housing. A 9 V DC/AC battery charger is supplied with your analyzer. It can enable indefinite operation whilst the analyzer is plugged in, and continuous operation during the 12-hour charging cycle.
The integrity of the sensor housing has been tested at the PST Factory prior to shipment. The analyzer must be calibrated once the installation has been completed and periodically thereafter.
