  • Page 5: Max 5 Portable Combustible Efficiency Monitor

    The MAX 5 Portable Combustion Efficiency Analyzer provides several special features and applications. It directly measures oxygen, carbon monoxide, combustibles, and temperature levels in a subject sample stream. The MAX 5 also includes microprocessor-based special functions enabling the computer to calculate levels of carbon dioxide and combustion efficiency.

  • Page 6: Main Features

    CO Analysis. Four ranges of CO analysis are available for the MAX 5; one standard 0-1000 ppm CO and three optional ranges - 0-500 ppm CO, 0-1% CO and 0-25% CO.

  • Page 8: Principle Of Operation Sensor Description

    PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION SENSOR DESCRIPTION Oxygen. The oxygen section uses Teledyne’s Micro-Fuel Cell, Class B-3 oxygen sensor (U.S. Patent No. 3,429,796). The B-3 Micro-Fuel Cell measures the concentration of oxygen in a gas stream. The analysis is specific for oxygen; i.e., the measuring cell will not generate an output current unless oxygen is present in the sample gas.

  • Page 9: Temperature & Calculated Values

    K1 = fuel factor on hydrocarbon composition K2 = theoretical maximum CO concentration of flue gas K3 = correction factor for latent heat (“wet” losses) The values of K1, 2 and K3 for the four fuels covered by the MAX 5 are: Natural Gas 0.38 11.8 11.0...
  • Page 10 (Lower Explosive Limits) values. To determine the output of the sensor to any of the gases listed, compared to the same concentration of methane, multiply the MAX 5 reading obtained by the factor listed. For example, if the output is calibrated with methane at 2%, the output for ethylene at 2% would be 2.0% X 1.26 = 2.52% methane equivalent.

  • Page 11: Detector Response To Gases

    To determine the concentration of a compound present at the sensor from the MAX 5 reading, when calibrated with Methane, divide the MAX 5 reading (in percent Methane) by the factor. For example, if Ethylene is flowing by the sensor, and a MAX 5 reading of 2.0% is obtained, the concentration of Ethylene would be: MAX 5 Reading = 2.0% = 1.59%...

    J4 or is not present, connect it to J4 to find it in the shipping carton. Then, remove the protective bag, connect it to J4, and plug it into the receptacle in the bottom left side of the MAX 5. b. To replace the combustibles sensor, remove the existing sensor from the recep- tacle, detach the connector from the sensor, and throw away the old sensor.

    If the analyzer is subject to high positive pressures, damage may occur to the pumps or other flow systems. A regulator may be necessary upstream to maintain sample pressure at or below atmospheric level, if you want to use this analyzer to measure a high pressure sample.
  • Page 17 CAUTION: ADJUST SPAN GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR TO MINIMUM FLOW RATE (2-3 scfh) BEFORE CONNECTING TO ANALYZER. NOTE: To perform manual spanning of the MAX 5, the Calibration Kit is required. The calibration kit consists of 3 gases; 2 calibration (CO & Combustible) and a background (nitrogen).
  • Page 18 To store reading press ENTER. The word SPAN will light up on top of the LCD. For span calibration a known higher temperature input would be required or changes to the low temperature. So if span calibration is not desired, press ENTER to return to normal operation. NOTE: Centigrade readings are automatically stored in memory.

  • Page 19: Special Functions

    To restore the built in temp. calibration constants press the CAL and LOGO keys simultaneously, then press °F/°C key. Press the CAL and COMB/TEMP keys simultaneously. This restores the proper values and exits the calibration mode. SPECIAL FUNCTIONS To activate the other special functions press both the arrow keys simultaneously. The LCD will show: 1 2 3 4 5 6...

  • Page 20: To Display Readings

    To PRINT stored readings (Key 5) (Optional - See Appendix) Plug the printer cable into the MAX 5 serial port and the printer. Turn on the printer. Activate Special Functions and press key #5. The printer will print the I.D. number and the six numerical values of each of the stored readings in chronological order.

  • Page 21: Automatic Data Output

    To test, press any key other than the LOGO or ENTER keys; to resume normal operation press the LOGO key. To perform a total memory reset press the ENTER key twice in succession. AUTOMATIC DATA OUTPUT (Function 7) Activate Special Functions. Press key 7 to activate the Data Output function.

  • Page 23: Battery Recharging

    Before you replace the batteries, perform the following tests (make sure the MAX 5 is unplugged from the wall): To Test the Power Supply (charging circuit): Open the MAX 5 as instructed in Steps 1 and 2 under the “To Replace Batteries” section below. Locate R39 resistor.

  • Page 24: Sensor Replacement

    Tape the new batteries in place and replace the plate. Insert the battery pack in the MAX 5 and screw it in place. Reconnect J2 to analog PCB. Put on the bottom of the case, insert and tighten the screws on the sides and tighten the screws in the back of the MAX 5.

    Indicates the batteries are depleted or near depletion after about 8 hours use. REMEDY: Recharge the batteries. FAILURE WARNING SIGNS The MAX 5 indicates failure warning signs with a CELL FAIL message on the LCD and a bAd reading. The cell output is low which results in too high a span requirement.
