Operators Manual
11 of 78
3.5 Measure menu

The flow chart (Fig 3 below) depicts the instrument measurement options available. The
flow lines are keyed to specific instrument actions.
Fig 3 : Instrument Measurement Menu Flow Diagram
Your instrument is pre-set with certain default values to anticipate your measurement
conditions, such as measurement display units, thermal cutoff temperature, etc. You
may, however, change these using the Instrument Modify Options Menus described in
Options set up on page 17.
3.6 Measurement displays

Switching on the indicating instrument first shows the software version and date on the
LCD, and then switches to a Configuration Display showing the gas being measured,
the purge gas required for the sensor, and the membrane model number for this sensor.
In the example shown in Fig 4 the display shows the gas being measured (g) as CO2, the
purge gas (p) as being N2 and the sensor membrane (m) as being model number 29561.
The configuration screen appears for the duration of the measurement cycle (usually 15
to 25 seconds), before switching to a continuous gas and temperature Measurement
Display.
Fig 4 : Configuration and Measurement Displays
There will be a delay between successive display updates depending on the length of the
purge/measurement cycle. Depending on the Number of Ranges configured for the
instrument (see Display units on page 18), the display resolution changes automatically
to reflect gas and temperature measurement value changes. To make changes to the
displayed units of measurement and display resolution, refer to Display units on
page 18.
Press the ESC key to exit from the measurement display and move to the Main Menu to
access additional menus (Measure, Options and Calibrate).
Operators Manual
12 of 78
3.7 Measurement hold switch (CO2 and N2 systems only)

Interruptions in the sample flow can cause temporary variations in measurements of CO2
or N2 gas concentrations. For this reason, the instrument provides a Hold capability to
exclude these measurements from the statistics. To use this capability, you must provide
an external switch (for example, on a filling machine) that is open while the sample is
flowing and closed during the flow interruption. Wire this switch as described in Hold
switch wiring identification on page 59.
When the switch is closed, indicating a Hold condition, the instrument holds the last gas
measurement values on all outputs, though temperature changes continue to occur,
flashes a HOLD message between LCD updates, and shows a Hld code in the LCD
bottom line at the right of the temperature measurement
Once the switch is reopened (typically, with the restart of sample flow) the instrument will
start to display the new measurement values. However, these values should not be
considered accurate until after one to four additional measurement cycles have been
performed (15-60 seconds). You can specify the number of additional cycles using the
Hold Recovery option in the Options menu, see Hold recovery (CO2 and N2 systems
only) on page 22.
3.8 Accessing measurements from the PC

If you have installed the Data Acquisition Software (as described in Data acquisition
software on page 39), you can use this program to download measurement data to your
PC.
a ) Menu overview
The program's main menus appear as follows:
Fig 5 : Data Acquisition Main Menu
b ) Acquiring data
With the instrument connected to your PC, and the sensor placed in a sample, you
should be able to conduct an initial data acquisition test.
First, make sure the program knows which COM port is used by your PC by choosing
Communications from the Configuration menu. Ensure the correct COM port is
checked (see Fig 6).
Operators Manual

Fig 9 : Data Acquisition Display
The number of samples in the buffer continues to rise until you choose End from the
Terminal menu, or when the limit of 2000 samples is reached.
c ) Printing, copying and saving data

The File, Print command places your list of values into a pre-formatted tabular template,
and sends it to your printer. The program asks you to enter Title and Author information
as illustrated in Fig 10. The operating system automatically sets the Date.
Fig 10 : Print Data Option
The resulting printed list includes the Title, Author and Date information on each page.
To save this list as a text (.txt) file, capable of being recalled by the MOCA3610 program
or imported as a file into other Windows programs, choose File, Save as. A dialog box
appears, with a space to fill in with an eight-letter name. (The program automatically
attaches a .txt suffix to these files.)
To copy this list to the Windows Clipboard, so that this information can be pasted into a
spreadsheet, word processor or any other kind of Windows program that accepts tabular
text information, choose Export, To Clipboard.
Operators Manual
If you have saved previous files, a grayed-out list of these names appears as well.
Typical to Windows programs, Directories and Drives boxes can be used to locate
other places to save the file. You may also type the drive and directory yourself when
saving the file.

3.9 Shutting down the system

Since the indicating instrument has a non-volatile memory, important parameters remain
memorized even when the instrument power is off.
During a short shutdown period (such as weekends), the sensor can be left in line, with
the instrument operating and the purge gas supplied.
Note :
If the model 32605 Purge Backup Unit is installed as described in Model 32605 purge
backup unit on page 39, the instrument can also be turned off.
If the inactive period is likely to last for a period of longer than 2 days, then to avoid any
damage to the sensor, remove it from the line and dry it off before storing. Refer to the
associated TC Sensors - Maintenance & Installation Manual, provided with your
instrument, for full instructions on this process.

Once enabled, if the sample temperature exceeds this limit, then alarms are set and a
Hot message appears on the bottom right of the measurement display.
4.4 Alarm and analog outputs

While HIGH and LOW LIMIT alarms serve different purposes than ANALOG CURRENT
outputs, their modification procedures are the same in the menu. Thus, this section
explains only how to set the LOW LIMIT ALARM.
The flow chart in Fig 11 shows all available options. In addition, Analog outputs on
page 62 and Alarm outputs on page 66 describe these outputs in more detail.
Connector and wiring identification for these outputs are in Wiring identification on
page 57.
If you choose LowHigh, the first menu allows you to enter

the low limit. Enter the value and press ENTER to move
on the next screen.
Operators Manual
Under the MODIFY OPTIONS menu, highlight ALARM and press ENTER. Choose
DISABLED if you want to disable alarms, or choose between the standard LowHigh or
High-HighHigh alarm. For ANALOG OUTPUT, the menu choice is either DISABLED or
ENABLED.

On this screen, LL stands for LOW LIMIT. Use the UP/

DOWN ARROWS to move the decimal place to the
correct position in the displayed value, and press ENTER
to confirm and save this limit, and move to the next screen
where you can enter the HIGH LIMIT.
The HIGH LIMIT (HL), HIGHHIGH LIMIT (HH), ANALOG LOW LEVEL (AL), and
ANALOG HIGH LEVEL (AH) values, are all entered in the same way.
a ) Alarm and recorder output test

When you set each limit in the menus, the associated instrument alarm or analog output
provides a test signal. The Alarm Limit menus provide test relay outputs at the Alarm
Relay pins (see Table 25, Low/High Alarm Relay Responses, on page 67 and
Table 26, High/High-High Alarm Relay Responses, on page 67). The Analog Level
menus apply a test current (or voltage) at the recorder output Gas Concentration pins.
For example, when Analog Output, High Level is selected, after you press ENTER to
save the new limit in the UP/DOWN MODIFIES screen, the instrument provides a 20 mA
(or 5 V) test signal at the Gas Concentration pins of the Recorder connector.
The test analog signal or alarm output remains on the associated output pins until you
press ESC to return to the main menu. Refer to Alarm and recorder output testing on
page 69, for further description and use of these diagnostic outputs.
4.5 Serial output

The instrument serial output provides formatted text for an RS-232 compatible printer,
monitor, or computer interface.
Choose SERIAL OUTPUT from the MODIFY OPTIONS menu, to give you a choice of
DISABLED, ENABLED, DIAGNOSTICS and UPLOAD.
When ENABLED, the output provides a running log of gas concentration and sample
temperature measurement information. See Alarm outputs on page 66 for a more
detailed description of the outputs.
The DIAGNOSTICS output provides lines of hexadecimal code indicating how your
instrument is performing. In addition, the RS-232 output provides a running log of
diagnostic results for every measurement cycle.
The UPLOAD option is currently unavailable.
4.6 Continuous purge mode

successive measurement cycles. It suppresses sharp peaks and troughs, while retaining
reasonably fast response to real concentration changes.
Choose ROLLING AVERAGE from the MODIFY OPTIONS menu. Then select
DISABLED if rolling averages are not required, or select the number of successive
measurement cycles (each being approximately 22 seconds), over which the average
will be taken (3,5,7 or 9).
4.8 Language
The instrument can display its menus in English, French, Japanese, Spanish, German,
or Italian although the units of measurement remain the same (i.e. parts per million is still
expressed as ppm regardless of language).
Choose LANGUAGE from the MODIFY OPTIONS menu and select your preference.
4.9 Hold recovery (CO2 and N2 systems only)

This option allows you to choose a longer or shorter recovery time after a Hold condition
has ended.
Choose HOLD RECOVERY from the MODIFY OPTIONS menu. You are given a choice
of 1, 2, 3 or 4 cycles before normal measurement resumes, each cycle being
approximately 15 seconds in length. Highlight the desired recovery period, and then
press ENTER.
4.10 Offset
While Orbisphere analyzers are accurate to within 0.006 V/V of CO2, 0.01 cc/kg of H2, or
0.3 ppm of N 2, you may wish to apply a specific offset value to the displayed gas
measurement.
If, for example, 0.1 V/V should be subtracted from CO2 measurements, choose OFFSET
from the MODIFY OPTIONS menu to bring up the data entry screen.
For this example, you would want a negative offset so

highlight NEG. and press ENTER.
Enter the value to be subtracted and press ENTER.
The measurement display, recorder analog output, and RS-232 output of gas
concentration reflect this offset value. The RS-232 output also lists the offset value in a
separate column.

4.11 Corrections
Note :
This option is reserved for qualified Orbisphere Service Representatives only. As such,
if you feel that corrections are required, please contact your local Orbisphere Service
Representative to perform this operation for you.
a ) Temperature correction
If the sample temperature varies during the measurement cycle, the temperature change
is translated as an interference signal on the sensor measurements. This option reduces
the influence of temperature variation on the sensor.
When the process temperature is steady or changes very slowly, this correction is not
necessary, thus it should be disabled.
Choose CORRECTIONS in the MODIFY OPTIONS menu followed by TEMP
CORRECTION. Select ENABLED to apply a temperature correction to gas
measurements, or DISABLED if no correction is required.
b ) Humidity correction
This routine only concerns measurements made in 100% humid gases or in traces of
dissolved gas in water.
Choose CORRECTIONS from the MODIFY OPTIONS menu and HUMIDITY. This menu
provides a choice of DISABLED, ENABLED and CALIBRATE.
If you are making trace measurements in dry, or less than 100% saturated gases, then
the built-in humidity correction would be inappropriate, and should be DISABLED.
If you are measuring gases in the presence of humidity, however, the contribution from
humidity to the measured thermal conductivity is calculated from built-in formulae, and
subtracted from the net measured result.
Choose ENABLED to apply the correction, using previously stored humidity parameters,
for the amplitude and temperature coefficient of the correction. When you enable
humidity correction, this correction is applied to each sensor reading. The amount of
correction is listed in the RS-232 diagnostic output (see Serial output on page 21).
Choose CALIBRATE from the menu to begin calibration of the humidity effect and
perform a recalculation of the amplitude parameter. The temperature coefficient is set by
default, and cannot be changed.
The next screen then directs you to expose the sensor to a humid gas sample. You must
expose the sensor to a sample having a known humidity, and no measured or interfering
gas. Either the sensor can be exposed to a sample of humid purge gas or it can be
directly immersed in water and purge gas.
In the case of measurements in humid air, using a dry air purge, the water can be simply
aerated, and it suffices to immerse the sensor in water from a tap.
It is permitted, however, to have the purge gas present in the sample since this gas does
not interfere. You can either use purge gas saturated with water, or water saturated with
the purge gas.
The act of saturating water with the purge gas (see Fig 13) eliminates all other potentially
interfering gases, given enough time. If the water volume is restricted to a few tens of
milliliters, about 15 minutes is adequate time to ensure complete purging of interfering
gases and temperature equilibration.

Watch the signal (Slope value displayed on screen) change until it becomes stable.
When the signal is stable, press ENTER to store the new humidity correction.
As an alternative to exposing the sensor to humid gas, expose the sensor to a water
sample that is saturated with the purge gas. In this calibration, the purge gas passes
through water-saturated material (a porous piece of paper) that is in the flow chamber
(see Fig 14).
Fig 14 : Water Saturated with Purge Gas
To perform this calibration, wet a piece of paper until it is saturated with water, but not
dripping. Use a porous and durable type of paper, such as a piece of coffee filter paper
cut to fit into the flow chamber. Then, disconnect the flow chamber from the sensor, place
this paper into the flow chamber (as illustrated in Fig 14) and reconnect the sensor.
Run the gas through the saturated paper, for about 5 minutes, until the signal becomes
stable. When the signal is stable, stop the flow of gas to the Flow Chamber. Watch the
signal change again until it is stable at a new level. When no further change occurs,
press ENTER to store the new humidity correction.
4.12 Liquid/Gas coefficient

If the liquid sample flow rate is below the minimum required, then the measurement will
be lower than the actual value. If the actual measurement value is known by some other
measurement system, then a value can be entered here which will be used to compute
the correct actual value.
Operators Manual
Next, start the purge gas into the flow chamber, running the gas at a flow rate of about
one bubble per second into a beaker of water.
25 of 78
Enter the value of the liquid/gas coefficient.
The measured value will be multiplied by the coefficient value entered here to give the
correct measured value. By default, this value is set to 1.
4.13 Membrane selection

The H2 sensor can be fitted with different membranes, each having individual sensitivity
and flow requirements. To select the correct membrane, choose MEMBRANE from the
MODIFY OPTIONS menu then choose the membrane model number from the list
displayed.
Once you select any membrane (even if you reselect the same membrane and press
ENTER), you must re-calibrate the sensor, as described in Calibrations on page 27. In
addition, you must re-calibrate any corrections you may be using, as described in
Corrections on page 23.
Note :
For detailed specifications regarding sensors and membranes, please refer to the
accompanying TC Sensors - Maintenance & Installation Manual.

Fig 15 : Instrument Calibration Menu Flow Diagram
Note :
When you select the Calibration menu, the instrument discontinues all measurement
operations.
All of the menus require user input of one form or another. This is carried out using the
four function keys on the Instrument Panel (see Instrument controls on page 9). You

should ensure you are familiar with the use of these keys in entering and modifying
numeric fields (see Entering numerical values on page 10), before accessing these
menus.
Note :
When using non-Orbisphere instruments during calibration processes (e.g. pressure
gauges), their accuracy should be 10 times more precise than Orbisphere instruments.
5.2 Barometric pressure sensor calibration

You can verify or calibrate the instrument's internal barometric pressure sensor against
your local atmospheric pressure.
Select CALIBRATE from the main menu followed by BAROM PRESSURE.
The instrument first displays the current barometric
pressure reading. Press ESC if this agrees with your
current atmospheric pressure, or ENTER to modify and
bring up the next screen.
Enter the new value and press ENTER to return to the
previous BAROM. PRESSURE display, followed by ESC
to accept the value.
5.3 External pressure sensor calibration

The instrument can be fitted with a model 28117 external pressure sensor, capable of
measuring up to 3.5 bar (50 psi). An accurate pressure gauge is required to calibrate this
sensor.
Select CALIBRATE from the main menu followed by EXTERN. PRESSURE.
The instrument first displays its current external pressure
sensor measurement. If this agrees with the pressure
currently applied to the external pressure sensor, then
press ESC. If this measurement does not agree, and you
wish to re-calibrate, press ENTER to display the menu for
selection of pressure measurement units. Choose the
desired units to bring up the calibration Method menu.
There are two methods of calibrating this sensor:
Choosing ONE POINT allows you to enter the absolute

(gauge plus atmospheric) pressure currently applied to
the external pressure sensor. Press ENTER when the
value has been entered.
Use the UP/DOWN ARROWS to move the decimal place
to the correct position in the displayed value, and press
ENTER to confirm. The instrument then calibrates the
sensor and returns to the external pressure display.
Operators Manual
ONE POINT permits you to calibrate at one pressure value

TWO POINT requires that you calibrate against high and low pressure values
(generally required only for high-pressure applications)
29 of 78
The TWO POINT calibration requires that you apply and enter a LOW POINT and a
HIGH POINT pressure value. The menus are similar to the ONE POINT menu described
above.
Enter the atmospheric pressure as the low point value. Then, adjust the forcing gas
pressure to between 2.5 and 3 bar (absolute) for the high point. Enter the absolute
pressure (gauge plus atmospheric pressure) of the forcing gas for the high point.
After you enter the second value, the instrument calibrates the sensor and returns to the
external pressure display.
5.4 TC sensor calibration

When calibrating, the TC sensor is exposed to either:
1) A source of 100% pure CO2, H2, or N2 gas at a known elevated pressure (Partial
Pressure)
2) A known concentration of CO2, H2, or N2 gas at a known pressure (Fraction)
3) A known concentration of dissolved CO2, H2, or N2 (Dissolved)
The Partial Pressure method is generally recommended only when measuring at higher
line pressures, and requires a precise in-line pressure gauge to perform.
For calibration in a gaseous sample, the advantage of the Fraction method is that it is
independent of the precision of other devices, and is fairly easy and quick to perform.
WARNING
Handle H2 gas with great care ! It is extremely flammable and explosive.
TC sensor calibration may be performed either in-line, with the sensor left in its mounting
(such as a sensor socket or flow chamber), or off-line with the sensor removed, using a
separate flow chamber.
a ) In-Line calibration
Performing an in-line sensor calibration with a gaseous or liquid sample of known gas
concentration can be convenient, since you can leave the sensor in its mounting. You
simply introduce the reference gas or liquid to the sensor, and enter the expected values
via the menus.
For in-line calibration, first you must shut off the sample flow. Then, connect a source of
the gaseous or liquid reference sample to the sensor in its mounting (sensor socket or
flow chamber), and purge all existing gas or liquid out of the system. If you are calibrating
in-line, using a gaseous sample, in a model 32001 flow chamber, connect the calibration
gas source to the flow chamber's outer port (as illustrated in Fig 16).
Fig 16 shows how to introduce both calibration gas and normal sample media to the flow
chamber, if required. A and B represent 3-way valves. Calibration gas is sent in through
the sample out port and waste gas is sent out through the sample in port, as shown (left).
In normal measurement operation (right), the calibration gas inlets and outlets are shut
off
Note :
When your system returns to measurement immediately after a successful in-line
calibration, the displayed value may appear slightly lower than expected until two or
three measurement cycles have elapsed. This is the sensor's normal response to
switching from Calibration to Measurement mode.
Operators Manual
30 of 78
Fig 16 : Flow Chamber - Calibrate & Measure Flows
b ) Off-line calibration
First shut off the sample flow. Then, extract the sensor from its socket or mounting and
close off the socket with the stainless steel plug provided. (If you are using a model
32003 ProAcc insertion/extraction valve, the sample is sealed off automatically as the
sensor is withdrawn.) If you are using a flow chamber, shut off the sample flow and then
extract the sensor from the flow chamber. Also, if you are using an external temperature
sensor, disconnect it from the sensor.
Make sure that the grill in the front of the sensor is clean and dry. Insert the sensor in the
model 32001 flow chamber, and tighten with its collar. Connect the gaseous or liquid
reference sample to the flow chamber's central sample entry port and purge all air and
water out of the system.
The exit from the flow chamber should be unobstructed, thus making the pressure in
contact with the sensor equilibrated with that of the atmosphere. If the exit from the flow
chamber is completely free, the gas pressure in contact with the sensor will be that of the
atmosphere.
Alternatively, adjust a needle valve on the exit from the calibration unit to raise the
applied pressure to any other desired calibration pressure. This has the advantage that
you can simulate more closely the actual gas pressure in the sample, so raising the
precision of later measurements - but it has the disadvantage that an accurate pressure
gauge must be available.
c ) Partial pressure calibration
The procedure requires a source of pure gas (regulated by a pressure valve) connected
to the central entry port of the flow chamber, an accurate pressure gauge at the exit of
the flow chamber, a needle valve to control the gas flow on exit, and a beaker of water to
monitor the gas flow (as illustrated in Fig 17).
To carry out the calibration, open the valve on the gas cylinder. Adjust the needle valve
until gas is flowing through the chamber at a rate of about 1 bubble per second indicated
by the beaker of water. Adjust both the valve on the gas cylinder and the needle valve
Operators Manual
With this procedure, you must expose the sensor to a known pressure of pure CO2, H2
or N2 gas, in the range of 1 to 5 bar absolute.
31 of 78
Fig 17 : Partial Pressure Calibration Diagram
until your desired calibration pressure is indicated on the accurate pressure gauge at the
exit to the flow chamber and the flow rate is approximately 1 bubble per second.
To expose the sensor to the gas and to stabilize the reading, operate in Measurement
Mode for about 30 minutes. After this time, press ESC and select CALIBRATE from the
main menu, followed by SENSOR TC and PARTIAL PRESSURE. Select your preferred
unit of measurement from the PART PRESS CAL menu, to bring up the menu for
specifying the gas pressure.
Enter the absolute gas pressure, taken from the pressure
gauge at the exit of the flow chamber. Press ENTER
when the value has been entered.
Use the UP/DOWN ARROWS to move the decimal place
to the correct position in the displayed value, and press
ENTER to confirm and start the calibration process.
The calibrating... please wait message appears for a
few seconds, and then the instrument starts three
calibration cycles.
The partial pressure and temperature measurements are
displayed. On this display, the current calibration cycle
number (cal:n) is also displayed in the bottom right-hand
corner.
On completion of the three cycles, the instrument then

shows the sensitivity of the sensor as a percentage of the
sensitivity determined when calibration was last
performed.
Note :
If this is the first calibration then the message indicates a percentage of the expected
value, rather than the last calibration.
Operators Manual
32 of 78
This percentage must be between 30% and 170% in order to calibrate. If the percentage
is outside the limits, you will see the CALIBRATION OUT OF BOUNDS message. You
will need to press ESC to continue. Check that the membrane does not need to be
replaced and that no leaks are evident.
If the percentage is within the limits press ENTER to accept and complete the calibration
process (the message CALIBRATION COMPLETE will appears briefly) or ESC to abort.
d ) Fraction calibration
This method uses a known purity of CO2, H2 or N2 gas at a known pressure, and requires
either the instrument internal barometric pressure sensor or an external pressure sensor
as a reference. The pressure sensor is pre-calibrated at the factory. However, to check
or re-calibrate either pressure sensor, see Barometric pressure sensor calibration on
page 28 or External pressure sensor calibration on page 28.
To expose the sensor to the gas and to stabilize the reading, operate in Measurement
Mode for about 30 minutes. After this time, press ESC and select CALIBRATE from the
main menu, followed by SENSOR TC and FRACTION. Select your preferred unit of
measurement from the FRACTION CAL menu (either %vbar if using the barometric
pressure sensor, or %vext if using the external pressure sensor), to bring up the menu
for specifying the gas pressure.
Note :
If you choose %vbar, the exit port of the flow chamber or sensor mounting must be
open to the atmosphere.
Enter the concentration of the calibration gas in volume percent and proceed as
described above for Partial Pressure Calibration.
Note :
If the sensor voltage slope shifts more than 1%, calibration restarts and the message
Recal Err XXX% will appear. Three continuous calibrations with a shift of less than 1%
must be performed, before the calibration can be completed.
e ) Dissolved calibration
This method requires a known concentration of CO2, H, or N2 dissolved in liquid as a
reference sample.
Select CALIBRATE from the main menu, followed by SENSOR TC and DISSOLVED.
Select your preferred unit of measurement from the DISSOLVED CAL menu.
Enter the dissolved CO2 concentration of the sample and proceed as described above
for Partial Pressure Calibration.

Accessories and attachments

Certain applications may require the use of one or more of the items described below.
6.1 Model 32605 purge backup unit

Since it is necessary to continuously purge the sensor to prevent the ingress of moisture,
normally you would want to leave the instrument switched on at all times even when gas
analysis is not required. If it is more practical to be able to switch off an analyzer for
several days at a time (without removing the sensor), a purge backup unit is
recommended.
Install the model 32605 Purge Backup Unit directly between the instrument and sensor
using the sensor cable. It is powered by internal batteries which batteries recharge
automatically (using the sensor cable) when the instrument is switched on. When the
instrument is switched off, the purge backup unit continues to leave the sensor's solenoid
in the open position (enabling purge gas entry) for up to four days. A green LED
illuminates when the battery is adequately charged; a red LED illuminates when
recharging is necessary.
6.2 Model 32557/32559 external temperature sensor

This temperature sensor is ideal for applications where the sampling line or room
temperatures undergo frequent change. It provides an independent temperature signal
to the instrument that is not affected by room temperature. The temperature sensor
connects to an adapter that is factory-mounted to the rear of the model 31260, 31460, or
31560 sensor (and available as a retrofit for model 31250, 31450, or 31550 sensors).
The temperature sensor connects to this adapter using a 4-pin LEMO connector.
The model 32557 temperature sensor is mounted in-line in a pipe, using a model 29501
sensor socket. The on-line temperature sensor, model 32559, is designed for mounting
in 6-mm or -inch stainless steel tubing.
6.3 Data acquisition software

The 3610 instrument can be used as an acquisition device through the Windowscompatible MOCA3610 PC program, available as model number 32681.E from
Orbisphere.
The program uses the instrument's RS-232 connection (ENABLED in the Options
Menu, as described in Serial output on page 21) to set up a table of measurement
information including gas, temperature, and time.
The program interfaces to any available RS-232 serial port on your computer. It may be
necessary to run an independent utility on your PC in order to designate such a COM
port.
a ) Program setup
KB - 30/07/04 - 3610Accessories.fm

Maintenance and troubleshooting

7.1 General maintenance
While unauthorized opening of the instrument normally voids the Orbisphere warranty, it
is necessary to open the process instrument for output wiring connections.
Fuse replacement, AC voltage changes, and conversion from current to voltage output
also can be performed by the user.
WARNING
Disconnect power before opening the instrument.
To open a panel/rack mount or portable instrument, remove the front panel key
and place the instrument face down. Remove the four 3-mm Allen head screws on
the rear, and carefully pull off the rear panel, taking care not to disconnect any
wires.
To open a wall mount instrument, unlock the front panel of the unit with the key
provided to expose the electronics inside.
a ) Internal fuse replacement

For panel/rack mount and portable instruments, the power supply is attached to the
inside of the rear panel. For wall mount instruments, the power supply is located on the
rear panel of the instrument housing.
At position F1 on the power supply is a black plastic fuse holder. Remove the fuse cover
using a thin coin or a small flat-bladed screwdriver to push down and turn.
The 230 VAC power supply uses a T 100 mA fuse.
The 115 VAC power supply uses a T 250 mA fuse.
The 10-30 VDC power supply uses a T 1.25 A fuse.
b ) AC voltage switch
A rotary 115/230 VAC switch is located next to the fuse holder (see Internal fuse
replacement above). You can change this with a turn from a small flat-bladed
screwdriver. Check to see that the correct fuse for your voltage is installed before
connecting the instrument to a power supply.
c ) Alarm output jumper settings
KB - 30/07/04 - 3610MaintTroubleshoot.fm
The default factory setting is for Normally Open operation. You can change this to
Normally Closed (or vice versa) by changing the J14 jumper settings.

Current output from 0-20 mA to 4-20 mA (or vice versa), contact your Orbisphere
Service Representative first.
7.2 Instrument and sensor maintenance

Under normal operating conditions, your 3610 analyzer requires no maintenance. If the
indicating instrument is properly connected, handled with reasonable care and kept
clean, it should give you no mechanical or electrical problems.
Periodically, check the TC sensor calibration using a known standard. As long as the
reading is 1% of the expected value, no action needs to be taken. If the calibration has
changed 1-10%, perform a new calibration. If the deviation is more than 10% of the
original values, a change of membrane may be required.
A visual inspection of the sensor face may also reveal any problem like dust deposits or
accumulation of dirt onto the protection grill.
The TC sensor will require regular servicing. For sensor servicing and membrane
replacement details, please refer to the associated TC Sensors - Maintenance and
Installation Manual, which should have been delivered with your instrument.

Installation
This section provides necessary information to install and connect the instrument. If you
have any questions or experience any difficulties, do not hesitate to contact your
Orbisphere representative regarding this installation procedure.
The instrument is available in a variety of configurations, as identified in Table 30,
Indicating Instrument Configurations, on page 73.
The instrument front panel has a key-lock to switch on the instrument, a two-line liquid
crystal display (LCD) displaying 16 characters per line, a light switch to illuminate the
LCD for three minutes when connected to an external power source and four control
keys.
Check to see that any required mounting and sampling hardware has been included.
This varies with each application, but in general:
A model 29501 sensor socket or a model 32003 ProAcc insertion/extraction valve
is used to mount the sensor directly in a pipe.
A model 32001 or model 32002 flow chamber is used to introduce an on-line
sample with 6-mm or -inch tubing, or to introduce a gas for calibrating.
A model 28117 pressure sensor may be used when calibrating or measuring in
gaseous samples.
Special mounting hardware is included for panel and rack mount instruments.
KB - 30/07/04 - 3610Installation.fm
Finally, certain accessories, such as a purge backup unit, external temperature sensor,
or data acquisition software for Windows may have been ordered. Refer to Accessories
and attachments on page 39 for a description of these items.

8.1 Mounting
Note :
For all mountings, include at least 100mm additional rear clearance for cable protrusion.
a ) Panel instrument installation

The standard panel mount instrument configuration is illustrated in Fig 21.
Fig 21 : Panel Mount Configuration
Use the model 32200 panel mount template as a guide for the necessary panel cutting
and drilling. To use, place the template where you wish to mount the instrument, and
mark the drill holes and cut lines. Your mounting hardware includes a drill bit. Use this to
drill the 5.4 mm holes required, then cut the 214.5 mm wide by 125.5 mm high panel
holes.
Four self-clinching bolts secure the instrument to the panel. It is easiest to attach the
bottom two bolts first, guide the instrument into place, and then fix the top two bolts to
finish the procedure. Once tightened, the self-clinching bolts ensure that only one person
is required to remove the instrument.
The instrument can also be mounted in a 19" rack, either one across (model 32202
illustrated in Fig 23) or two across (model 32203 illustrated in Fig 24).
As with the panel mount configuration, four self-clinching bolts secure the instrument to
the rack panel.
Operators Manual
A retrofit panel mount (model 32201) is also available. This enables users of existing
Orbisphere analyzers to replace their instruments with the 3610 series, without additional
drilling or panel cutting, as shown in Fig 22.

8.2 Connections
a ) Power input
WARNING
The installation of a 3610 instrument should only be performed by personnel specialized
and authorized to work on electrical installations, in accordance with relevant European
and/or national regulations. In accordance with safety standard EN 61010-1, it must be
possible to disconnect the power supply of a 3610 instrument in its immediate vicinity.
While the instrument electronics are well shielded, it is still advisable to locate the
instrument as far as possible from any source of electromagnetic perturbation.
AC power input
CAUTION :
Use a power supply cable type H05VV-F 3 X 0.75 mm2 (supplied with the instrument).
The length of the cable should be three meters maximum and it should have a
separable plug (with three connectors, L+N+PE), without a locking device, to mate with
a socket outlet in the building. The cable and the plug must conform to an appropriate
European or national standard.
For wall mount instruments, AC power connections use the right most waterproof
cable gland (see illustration in Fig 25). The power cable must be wired according to the
label inside the housing. Three FAST ON 6.3-mm spade-type connectors are supplied
with the wall mount instrument for wires measuring from 0.5 - 1 mm2.
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
Remove the exterior insulation of the cable for a length of about 50 mm.
Insert the cable through the right most cable gland.
Strip the wires for a length of about 8 mm.
Put a FAST ON (spade-type) connector on each of the three wires.
Put the live, neutral, and earth wires on the corresponding spade plugs of the
mains filter, as indicated on the label affixed to the bottom of the wall mount box,
opposite the filter.
6) Slide the cable farther through its cable gland until its external insulation
penetrates about 6 mm inside the housing, blocking the cable gland.
For panel and portable instruments, AC power connections use a standard detachable
power cable on the rear panel of the instrument (as illustrated in Fig 27 and Fig 31).
10-30 VDC power input

Note :
This is only applicable to the 3610/450 and 3610/550 panel mount instruments and the

connector. Insert the wire into the connector opening and release the lever to hold
the wire firmly in place.
For wall mount instrument terminal blocks, use a small-bladed flat screwdriver to
loosen the screw at the top of the terminal block connector. Insert the wire into the
connector opening and tighten the screw to hold the wire firmly in place.
8.7 Sensor and sensor purge gas installation

The TC sensor has a threaded collar and storage cap, a screw-on protection cap
covering the membrane, and a LEMO 10-pin connector for the sensor cable. The sensor
cable has a mating screw-on connector, and a snap-in LEMO plug for connecting to the
instrument. The standard sensor cable length is three meters, but extension cables of up
to 100 meters can be provided without any loss in signal sensitivity.
The TC sensor also has entry and exit ports for a purge gas supply. A LEMO 4-pin
adapter may be mounted at the rear of the sensor to connect to an external temperature
sensor. When factory-fitted with the external temperature sensor adapter, the H2 sensor
is designated model 3126x, the CO2 sensor is model 3146x, and the N2 sensor is model
3156x.
For full instructions on sensor and sensor purge gas installation, please refer to the TC
Sensors - Maintenance & Installation Manual that was provided with your instrument.
8.8 Model 28117 pressure sensor installation

The pressure sensor can be mounted in the model 32002.x flow chamber. It is held in
place by a threaded, blue-colored aluminum collar. The pressure sensor 4-pin LEMO
connector plugs into the socket labeled pressure on the instrument. The maximum cable
length is 50 meters.
8.9 Analog outputs

The 3610 instrument provides a choice of three analog output signals of 0-5 Volts, 0-20
mA, or 4-20 mA, which represent the measured CO2, H2, or N2 gas concentration,
temperature, and pressure. See Wiring identification on page 57 for output wiring
connections and Analog current/voltage output jumper settings on page 42 for current/
voltage output conversion.
The instrument generates these analog outputs using a 12-bit digital converter. Thus, the
minimum increment of any output can be determined by dividing the output range by
4096. For example: You could set the gas concentration range to 0-500 ppm for 4-20mA,
and your recorder would still pick up changes of 0.122 ppm. The accuracy of each
increment is 1%.
a ) Gas concentration output
When ANALOG OUTPUT is DISABLED in these menus, the instrument scales the gas
concentration output to vary linearly with the measured gas concentration, from 0 to 9999
(of the measurement units selected). The relation between the gas concentration
measurement M and the analog output signal V (voltage V) or I (current, mA) is as shown
in Table 17.
Operators Manual
You can scale the analog output signal of CO2, H2, or N2 concentration to vary between
any two custom gas concentration levels. Instructions for setting these levels are in
Alarm and analog outputs on page 20.
63 of 78
Table 17 : Custom Analog Output Disabled

Analog Output Gas Concentration Measurement (M)
4-20mA (I)
M = (I-4) * 625
0-20mA (I)
M = I * 500
0-5V (V)
M = V * 2000
When ANALOG OUTPUT is ENABLED, the instrument rescales outputs for each of the
three signals (4-20mA, 0-20mA and 0-5V) between any Low (L) and High (H) limits that
are defined in the Modify Options Menu (See Alarm and analog outputs on page 20.).
The relationship between the analog output signal V (voltage V) or I (current, mA), and
the measurement M is represented in Table 18.
Table 18 : Custom Analog Output Enabled
Analog Output Gas Concentration Measurement (M)
4-20mA
M = L + ((H - L) * ((I - 4) / 16))
0-20mA
M = L + ((H - L) * (I / 20))
0-5V
M = L + ((H - L) * (V / 5))
Using Table 18, the following is an example of the measurement calculation for a 16mA
analog signal (I) (on a 4-20mA configuration) and where the low and high limits are
defined as 10 (L) and 20 (H):
M = L + ((H - L) * ((I - 4) / 16))
M = 10 + ((20 - 10) * ((16 - 4) / 16))
M = 10 + (10 * 0.75)
M = 10 + 7.5
M = 17.5
This same calculation can also be represented graphically as illustrated in Fig 41.
Fig 41 : Analog Output - Graphical Representation
The output upper limit is fixed at 20mA or 5V whenever the displayed concentration is
equal to or exceeds the defined High limit value. Similarly, the output lower limit is fixed
Operators Manual
64 of 78
at 4mA, 0mA or 0V if the concentration is equal to or less than the defined Low limit
value.
The output also shows these extreme upper and lower limit values under other
conditions as summarized in Table 19.

advisable to use Orbisphere's Windows data acquisition software described in Data
acquisition software on page 39. Otherwise, you may use a third-party communication
software (such as Hyper Terminal).
8.11 Alarm outputs

Note :
Alarm outputs are NOT applicable to series 3610/x10 and 3610/X40 instruments.
Two alarm relay outputs are available in most instrument configurations (see also Alarm
output wiring identification on page 59 for alarm output wiring connections). Each alarm
relay can be set for Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) operation - the factory
default setting is Normally Open. If you wish to change the setting on your instrument,
please refer to Alarm output jumper settings on page 41 for details.
You can set your own alarm limits. If the measured gas concentration is outside of these
limits, the instrument activates the appropriate alarm relay. Instructions for selecting the
alarm configuration and setting the alarm limits are in Alarm and analog outputs on
page 20.
Table 25 and Table 26 list all alarm conditions and alarm relay responses for your
options settings.
Operators Manual
The Alarm Outputs options menu gives you the choice of selecting the alarm
configuration (Low/High or High/High-High). This configuration determines the manner
in which the alarm relays respond to various system or measurement conditions.

rather, it sets both alarm relays.
Operators Manual

Fig 42 shows a graphical representation of when the alarms are triggered.
Fig 42 : Alarm Conditions - Graphical Representation
The High or HighHigh alarm is initially activated, once the measurement goes above the
limits set. The Low alarm is activated when the measurement falls below the low limit.
The instrument clears the Low alarm when the gas concentration rises to 1% above the
low limit, or clears the High or High-High alarm when the gas concentration drops to 1%
below the high or high-high limit.
8.12 Installation completion check list
a ) Check voltage and line power

The indicating instrument is available in 115 VAC, 230 VAC, and 10-30 VDC versions.
Make sure that it is correct before connecting to a power supply, and make sure that the
ground of the AC supply is connected.
Note :
While the instrument case is watertight, the detachable power cable connection is not.
b ) Check purge gas supply

It is critical that the TC sensor has a supply of purge gas running before operating the
system. The TC sensor, when exposed to a liquid sample, could be damaged if the purge
gas is not running.
For full details on the correct purge gas to use for your sensor, refer to the accompanying
TC Sensors - Maintenance & Installation Manual.
The TC sensor must be purged continuously. The instrument does this automatically;
thus make certain that power is supplied constantly to the instrument. If it is desirable to
be able to shut off the instrument while leaving the sensor installed in a liquid sample,
install a model 32605 purge backup unit as described in Model 32605 purge backup
unit on page 39.
Operators Manual
c ) Maintain instrument power at all times
69 of 78
d ) Alarm and recorder output testing

When connecting the alarm or recorder (analog) outputs to user-supplied equipment, it
may be helpful to verify the connections using a test signal from the instrument. For this
purpose, the 3610 instrument provides diagnostic signals for both the alarm output pins
and the recorder current (or voltage) gas concentration output pins.
When you set alarm and analog output limits using the Modify Options menus (see
Alarm and analog outputs on page 20), an associated alarm or analog output test
signal is provided at the connections.
The alarm limit selections of this menu set the high and low alarm relays.
The analog output selections of this menu apply a test current (or voltage) output
at the recorder output gas concentration pins.
The diagnostic outputs provided from the Modify Options menu procedures are:
Table 27 : Alarm and Recorder Diagnostic Outputs
Modify Options Selection
Output Provided
Alarm, Low Limit
Closure (*) of Low Alarm relay, Low Alarm Pin to Common
Alarm, High Limit
Closure (*) of High Alarm Relay, High Alarm Pin to Common
Alarm, High-High Limit
Closure (*) of both High Alarm Relay and Low Alarm Relay,
High Alarm Pin and Low Alarm Pin to Common
Analog, Low Level
4mA (or 0mA or 0 Volts) applied to Gas Concentration Pins
Analog, High Level
20mA (or 5 Volts) applied to Gas Concentration Pins
(*) These alarm relay outputs are for Normally Open alarm relays. If the relays are set to
Normally Closed, these relay outputs are the opposite, Opening instead of Closure (see
Alarm outputs on page 66)
The test alarm relay closure or analog signal remains on the output pins until you return
to the Main Menu.
