A0048935 Figure 3. ATEX label for use in hazardous areas The Rxn-41 probe has also been approved for use in hazardous areas in the United States (US) and Canada by the Canadian Standards Association when installed in accordance with the Hazardous Area Installation Drawing (4002396).
532 nm, 785 nm, or 993 nm and is certified for use in hazardous areas. The Rxn-41 probe is ideally suited for use in chemical plants and refineries to measure batch or continuous flow production. It is also highly effective for use in pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities for glasslined reactors as part of a quality-by-design (QbD) solution using process analytical technology (PAT) analyzers.

An EO extension cable is available for longer cable runs or installation in conduit. EO fiber cable The EO fiber cable connects the Rxn-41 probe to the analyzer with a single, robust connector that contains the excitation and collection fiber-optics as well as an electrical laser interlock.
Yellow (YE) excitation fiber for laser output • Red (RD) collection fiber for spectrograph input An FC to EO fiber converter is then used to connect the FC cable to the Rxn-41 probe. A0048939 Figure 7. FC cable assembly showing connector for analyzer...
Take care to install the probe such that it measures the flowing sample or sample region of interest. Installation guidelines The Rxn-41 probe is designed for installation directly into process streams and reactor vessels according to the installation guidelines below: •...
Operating Instructions Rxn-41 Raman spectroscopic probe Hazardous area installation For hazardous areas, the probe must be installed according to the Hazardous Area Installation Drawing (4002396). When installing the probe in situ, the user must provide the strain relief to the fiber optic cable at the probe installation location.
Rxn-41 Raman spectroscopic probe Operating Instructions Process and probe compatibility Prior to installation, the user must check that the probe pressure and temperature ratings, as well as the materials from which the probe is made, are compatible with the process into which it is being inserted.
Operating Instructions Rxn-41 Raman spectroscopic probe Certifications and markings Endress+Hauser offers certifications for the Rxn-41 probe according to the standards below. Based on the desired certification(s) below, the probe or probe tag will be constructed and marked accordingly. Type Description ATEX marking and ▪...
Operating Instructions Commissioning The Rxn-41 probe is delivered ready to connect to the Raman Rxn analyzer. No additional alignment or adjustment to the probe itself is required. Follow the instructions below to commission the probe for use. The probe installation and usage parameters may have specific requirements governed by the associated application.
The Endress+Hauser Raman Rxn-41 probe is a sealed immersion probe for in situ Raman spectroscopy of liquid- phase samples in a pilot or process plant setting. The Rxn-41 line of probes is designed to be compatible with Endress+Hauser Raman Rxn analyzers equipped with a laser operating at 532 nm, 785 nm, or 993 nm.
Diagnostics and troubleshooting Refer to the table below when troubleshooting issues with the Rxn-41 probe. If the probe is damaged, isolate the probe from the process stream and turn off the laser prior to evaluation. Contact your service representative as needed for assistance.
Cleaning the probe window If the Rxn-41 probe window has come in contact with a sample, dust or fingerprints, etc., it may need to be cleaned. Extra care must be taken to ensure that the window surface is not further contaminated during the cleaning process.
