1.3 Description
The analyser is designed to meet the needs of the control and product quality
applications of industrial gas producers and users, who require fast, accurate and
reliable gas analysis.
The analyser can support up to two gas measurements, using paramagnetic, zirconia
infrared and thermal conductivity transducers to determine the content of gas
samples.
Gas sample measurements are shown on the analyser display, and can also be
output to a serial device connected to the analyser, or as milliAmp (mA) / voltage
outputs, or over a selection of digital communications (Modbus RS485 or TCP and
Profibus).
The analyser conforms to the requirements of the NAMUR

(Normenarbeitsgemeinschaft für Mess Und Regeltechnik in der Chemischen
Industrie) standards NE43 (4 – 20 mA output) and NA64 (status outputs).
The analyser is simple to operate, with an intuitive user interface. The analyser is 3U
in height and is suitable for 19 inch rack, panel or bench mounting.
The analyser requires little routine maintenance, other than calibration which is
essential for the accuracy of sample gas measurements (see Section 6) and
replacement of filter / scrubber elements (if fitted: see Sections 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5).

containing trace Oxygen. Mixtures between 1000 ppm to 4000 ppm are preferred.
* If, during a calibration or validation routine, the measurement is outside the specified range,
a status message is displayed to indicate that there may be a problem (for example, the
wrong calibration gas has been introduced, or the transducer has drifted excessively). The
status can be over-ridden but the history will still remain.
** Range and background gas as per analyser specification. For optimal performance use
either low or high calibration point to be a single component gas.
05410001A / Revision 6 9
CAUTION
It is recommended that sample/calibration gas flow is monitored or the flow
alarm option is purchased from Servomex to ensure a representative sample
is being measured for control systems.
CAUTION
The sample and bypass flowmeters are calibrated for use with air as the
background gas. When fitted for the analysis of CH4 in Helium the flowmeter
reading should be multiplied by a factor of 2.7 to provide the correct flow
rate.

4.6 Menu options/screens and password protection
The menu structure of the analyser is shown in Figure 4, which indicates that some of
the options/screens are password protected.
When an option/screen is password protected, this means that the correct

corresponding password has to be entered before the option/screen can be accessed.
See Section 5.4.1 for details on how to set the security level.
Password protection operates as follows:
☞ As supplied, the security level is set to 'high', the supervisor password is set
to "2000" and the operator password is set to "1000".
• The first time you try to access a password-protected option/screen, you will be
prompted for the corresponding password. You must then enter the correct
password (using the editing method described in Section 4.10) before the option/
screen can be displayed.
• If you have already entered the corresponding password, you will gain access to all
options/screens protected by that password immediately (you do not need to enter
the password again).
☞ Once you have entered a password, it remains active until 10 minutes after
the last soft key is pressed. After this, the password becomes inactive; you
must re-enter the password to access password-protected options/screens
again.
To change the passwords see Section 5.4.3.

which must be connected.
34 05410001A / Revision 6
5.3 Connect the sample/calibration gas pipeline(s)
WARNING
Sample and calibration gases may be toxic or asphyxiant:
• Ensure that the external connections are leak free at full
operating pressure before you use sample or calibration gases.
• Ensure that the sample/bypass outlet pipes are vented to an
area where the gases will not be a hazard to people.
• Ensure that the analyser is used in a sufficiently well-ventilated
environment, to prevent the build-up of toxic gases.
Ensure that the pipes that you connect to the analyser are routed so
that they do not present a hazard to people.
CAUTION
When you carry out a leak test, do not exceed a maximum pressure of
34.5 kPa gauge (0.35 bar gauge, 5 psig) and do not introduce a sudden
change of pressure into the analyser. If you do, you can damage it.
CAUTION
It is essential that a MultiExact Trace O2 analyser is isolated from the sample
system until any cleaning solvents are fully purged from the pipelines.
Failure to take this precaution may lead to contamination of the zirconia
sensor, which will be observed as an offset and drift in output.
Connect your sample/calibration gas inlet and outlet pipelines to the inlets and outlets
on the rear of the analyser (see Figure 2). The sizes of the fittings are as follows:
Transducer Sample gas inlet Sample gas/bypass outlet

1 1
O2, CO, CO2, N2O, CH4 /8 inch outside diameter /4 inch NPT female
trace GFX transducer stainless steel stub
1 1
TCD and O2 purity and /8 inch NPT female /4 inch NPT female
control transducers
* The optional external filter should be fitted to the inlet pipe with the compression fittings
provided: see Section 8.4.
Refer to Section 2.4 for sample gas requirements, and Section 2.5 for calibration gas
requirements. Locate your gas selection valves as close as possible to the analyser.
☞ You must switch on the electrical supply and leave the analyser for at least
4 hours (or 24 hours for the trace GFX transducers) before you allow
calibration or sample gases into the analyser. Refer to the caution at the start
of Section 6.
05410001A / Revision 6 35
☞ For 0-10ppm CO2 or 0-500ppm CO2, on initial start-up you must switch on the
electrical supply and leave the analyser to purge on low calibration gas for at
least 24 hours until the reading has stabilised before calibrating the analyser.
5.4 Switch on/set-up
☞ When the electrical supply to the analyser is switched on, the Alarm LED and
the Fault LED will both go on for 1 second to demonstrate that they are
functioning correctly, and will then go off again.
When you switch on the electrical supply to the analyser, a 'start-up screen' is first
displayed (see Section 4.2), then the measurement screen (Figure 3) is displayed.
When the measurement screen is displayed, you can set up the analyser as described
below.
5.4.1 Selecting the security level and password(s)
You can configure the analyser to provide any of three levels of security:
Security level Function
Low None of the options/screens are password protected *
Standard Some of the options/screens are protected by a supervisor

password
High Some of the options/screens are protected by a supervisor

password and some of the options/screens are protected by an
operator password †
* Except for the 'change the password(s)' and 'select the security level' options/screens: see
notes below.
†
The supervisor password can also be used to access options/screens protected by the
operator password: see notes below.
☞ The 'change the password(s)' and 'select the security level' screens/options
are always protected by the supervisor password, regardless of the security
level selected. This is to ensure that unauthorised personnel cannot change
the security level and password(s) and so lock out the analyser from other
users.
☞ The supervisor password provides access to all password protected

options/screens. That is, if you have selected the 'high' security level and are
prompted to enter the operator password, you can also access the option/
screen by entering the supervisor password.
36 05410001A / Revision 6

5.5 Setting up automatic validation/calibration (option)
5.5.1 Overview of automatic validation/calibration
Automatic validation operates in the same way as automatic calibration, except that
the transducers are not calibrated when the low and high calibration gases have been
passed through the transducers. Automatic validation therefore allows you to
determine the drift of sample measurements over time. You can set tolerance levels,
so that if the sample measurements fall outside acceptable limits, a 'maintenance
required' status is raised ( ) to identify that a full calibration needs to be carried out.
If your analyser supports auto validation/calibration you have the option to:
• Configure the analyser so that automatic validation/calibration of a transducer is

carried out once (at a preset time).
• Configure the analyser so that automatic validation/calibration of a transducer is
carried out repeatedly at a specified frequency.
• Use the soft keys to manually start an automatic validation/calibration
(see Section 6.2.1).
• Use a control input signal (on the RS485, ethernet, profibus or switch input) to
initiate an automatic validation/calibration (see Section 5.2.5).
☞ You can also perform a 'remote calibration' using the switched inputs on the
calibration option pcb if they are configured accordingly (see Section 5.5.3).
☞ If your analyser is configured to provide two sample gas measurements, you

can set up and carry out two separate automatic validations/calibrations, one
for each measurement transducer.
Automatic validation/calibration provides the following functionality:
• During an automatic validation/calibration of a transducer, the analyser controls

gas selection relays which can be used to control the flow of low and high
calibration gases into the analyser. An optional valve block can also be supplied.
• The analyser checks that the resulting measurement is within the preset validate
target range (validate target value ± validate tolerance value).
• If the measurement is within the preset validate target range and mode is set to
calibrate, the transducer is calibrated (as in manual calibration).
05410001A / Revision 6 41
• You can specify a pre-warning time, which will precede the automatic
validation/calibration. During this time, the 'service in progress' status output
(see Section 5.2.4) will be set; the automatic validation/calibration will then be
carried out at the end of the pre-warning time. If automatic validation is cancelled
during this time the gas selection control will not have changed state.
• You can specify an inerting phase. This ensures that non-inert and sample gases
cannot flow into the analyser one immediately after the other. During this phase,
inert gas (the low or high calibration gas) will be introduced between the two gases
for a preset time. This may be used to prevent potentially dangerous mixtures
occurring
• You can specify a flushing phase. This phase operates as a delay, after a different
gas is routed into the analyser, before a validation/calibration is carried out.
5.5.2 Automatic validation/calibration sequence
Before you carry out an automatic validation/calibration, you must preset the following
parameters:
Parameter Use/range
Low target value Low measurement target value for validate/calibrate
Low target tolerance Low measurement target tolerance
High target value High measurement target value for validate/calibrate
High target tolerance High measurement target tolerance
validation/calibration type Low, high, low & high or high & low
Mode Calibration or validation (see Section 5.5.1)
Pre-warning On or off
Pre-warning time Only applicable if pre-warning is on. Specifies the length

of the pre-warning period (0 min 1 sec to 59 min 59 sec)
Inerting On or off
Inert gas Only applicable if Inerting is on. Specifies the type of

inert gas (high or low)
Inerting time Only applicable if Inerting is active. Specifies the inerting

time (0 min 30 sec to 59 min 59 sec)
42 05410001A / Revision 6
Flushing time Specifies the flushing time (0 min 30 sec to 59 min

59 sec)
Timer On (active) or off (inactive). If active the calibration or

validation can be carried out regularly at a specified
frequency.
Start time/date Only applicable if the timer is active. This specifies the
time/date on which the first automatic validation/
calibration will be carried out. See Section 5.4.3.
Repeat time Only applicable if the timer is active. If set (in the range
1 hour to 999 days), specifies the interval between
successive automatic calibrations/validations. Select
0 hours and 0 days if repeat is not required.
Figure 28 shows a typical automatic calibration sequence, where:
• Pre-warning is on.
• Automatic calibration of transducer 1 (Tx1) has been initiated.
• validation/calibration type has been set to low & high.
• Mode has been set to calibration.
• Inerting is set to on (active) and inert gas has been set to low.

5.5.3 Remote calibration or automatic validation/calibration
Switch inputs can be set to remote calibration mode (remote cal), automatic
validation/calibration mode (auto val) or disabled so the inputs will have no function,
refer to Figure 17.
The remote calibration function is designed for installations where the analyser is
placed in an inaccessible area and the calibration gas valves are operated
independently of the analyser.
In Remote cal mode, switch input pins 1 – 2 activate a transducer low calibration (as if
the request had been selected from the user interface) and switch input pins 3 – 4
activate a transducer high calibration. Switch input pins 5 – 6 activate the transducer
service in progress (SIP) status, which must be closed before either calibration can be
executed. This is to ensure a calibration can not be executed without a service in
progress status being activated. For example, to carry out a remote low calibration:
Close pins 5 – 6 remote service in progress (SIP) on

Close pins 1 – 2 activate low calibration
Open pins 5 – 6 remote service in progress (SIP) off
A calibration will be successfully completed if the current measurement is equal to the

target measurement ± the auto validation tolerance values, see Figure 32. If this
condition is not met a maintenance required status will be raised.
☞ If the switch inputs are set to 'remote cal' mode the gas control relays will not
be changed from 'sample' during a remote low or high calibration.
See Section 6 for instructions on manual calibration to ensure that your calibration
procedure is correctly configured.
In auto val mode, switch input pins 1 – 2 Initiate an auto validation/calibration

sequence and switch input pins 3 – 4 stop an auto validation/calibration sequence.
1. Select ➞ Set up ➞ Switch Inputs.

5.6 Calibration linking
☞ Calibration linking only applies to analysers configured for 2 measurements.
☞ If calibration is not linked, the alarms for each transducer will operate in
accordance with their corresponding 'During Calibration' options during
calibration.
Calibration linking is useful when you route a single gas stream into both inlets of the
dual measurement analyser.
If you link calibration, then:
• When you calibrate transducer 1, the alarms (Section 5.11.1) and analogue output
(Section 5.7.2) for transducer 2 will operate in accordance with the transducer 2
'During Calibration' option during calibration.
• When you calibrate transducer 2, the alarms and analogue output for transducer 1
will operate in accordance with the transducer 1 'During Calibration' option during
calibration.
1. Select ➞ Set up ➞ Calibration.
2. Select 'Yes' or 'No' for calibration
linking.

5.7 Configuring and using the mA outputs (option)
5.7.1 Overview
The analyser can be supplied with a mA output for each sample gas measurement for
which the analyser is configured.
Each mA output provides a constantly updated output, in which the current represents
the value of gas sample measurements.
The analyser allows you to specify two separate range configurations per
measurement for the mA outputs: range 1 and range 2. The current range is shown on
the measurement screen (see Figure 3):
is shown if range 1 is selected.
is shown if range 2 is selected.
The mA output can be selected as:
• 0 to 20 mA, where 0 mA represents the lowest sample measurement and 20 mA

represents the highest sample measurement in the range you have specified.
• 4 to 20 mA, where 4 mA represents the lowest sample measurement and 20 mA
represents the highest sample measurement in the range you have specified.
In addition to the above, you can specify how the mA output will operate during
calibration, fault conditions and under-range conditions.
Details of the output parameters for the mA outputs are given in Section 5.7.2. Set up,
configure, check, calibrate and use the mA outputs as described in Section 5.7.4.
5.7.2 Introduction to the mA output parameters
The mA output parameters that you must set up are as follows:
Parameter Values/options
Range The selected option determines the mA output range

associated with a measurement:
Range 1 The output is set to use range 1
Range 2 The output is set to use range 2
Auto The output will automatically switch between

range 1 and range 2 depending on sample
measurements
05410001A / Revision 6 51
Parameter Values/options
Range 1 low level The range 1 lowest sample measurement
Range 1 high level The range 1 highest sample measurement (span) *
Range 2 low level The range 2 lowest sample measurement
Range 2 high level The range 2 highest sample measurement (span) *
During calibration The selected option determines how the mA output will
operate during calibration:
Freeze As soon as the calibration screen is displayed,

the mA output will 'freeze' at its last output value.
The output will only be updated to reflect
subsequent measurements when calibration
screen has been exited.
Follow The mA output value will reflect the measurement

value, even during calibration.
Jam condition The selected option determines how the mA output will
operate during a fault condition:
High The output value will be held at 21.5 mA

(suitable for trace measurements)
Low The output value will be held at 0 mA

(suitable for purity measurements)
None The output values will continue to be derived from

the sample gas measurements, even though
these output values may be erroneous.
mA output range 0 – 20 mA or 4 – 20 mA *
Underrange Any value below 4 mA #
Range change point The range change point †
Hysteresis The range change hysteresis †
* See Section 5.7.1.

†
Only available when Auto range is selected.
#
Only available if the 4 – 20 mA output range is selected; this sets the lowest output current
during normal operation, and allows out of range and negative gas concentrations to be
monitored through the mA output. For example, with an under-range setting of 3.8 mA, the
mA output can be less than 4 mA (which indicates a the Range low level), down to a
minimum of 3.8 mA, where an output between 3.8 mA and 4 mA indicates a gas
concentration below the range low level.
52 05410001A / Revision 6
5.7.3 Setting up the mA output parameters
☞ If auto ranging is selected, the way in which the output changes between the
ranges depends on the values you have set for the range change point and
the hysteresis.
For example, if you set the range change point to 18% and set hysteresis to 1%, then:
• The output value must be greater than 18% before changing from range 1 to
range 2.
• The output value must be less than 18% – 1% (17%) before changing from range 2
to range 1.
Use the following procedure to select auto ranging or manually select the range:
1. Select ➞ Set up ➞ mA output.

2. Select the required measurement
range option.
Figure 48 – The mA configuration

screen (one measurement analyser)
3. Select the range option you want the
output to use (range 1, range 2 or
auto). If you have selected auto
ranging, you must also set the range
change and hysteresis values.
Figure 49 – The mA range screen

4. Return to the mA configuration
screen (Figure 48) and select 'Set up'
option.
5. Edit the range high level and low
level.

level screen
05410001A / Revision 6 53
☞ You cannot enter a high level value higher than 120% of the maximum
measurement that the corresponding gas transducer can determine (refer to
Appendix A9).
☞ The minimum differences between the low level and high levels are detailed in
Appendix A9.
6. You can select the during calibration
option to 'Freeze' or 'Follow'.

5.7.4 Calibrating the mA output
Use the following procedure to calibrate the mA output:
1. Select ➞ Service ➞ mA output.
Figure 57 – The mA output

service screen
2. Select the required 'Calibrate' option.
Figure 58 – The mA output

calibrate screen
3. As soon as the mA output calibrate screen is shown, the nominal mA output

value is set to 20 mA:
• Use your control/monitoring equipment (connected to the analyser) to
monitor the actual output value.
• Use the and soft keys to increase or decrease the actual
output value until your control/monitoring equipment indicates 20 mA
output.
4. When the mA output has been correctly calibrated, press the soft key:
the mA output service screen (Figure 57) will then be displayed again.
☞ The actual mA output value is controlled from the mA output calibrate screen
as long as the screen is displayed. As soon as the mA service screen is no
longer displayed, the mA output value will be updated to reflect the
corresponding gas measurement.
56 05410001A / Revision 6
5.8 Configuring and using the voltage outputs (option)
5.8.1 Overview
The analyser can be supplied with a voltage output for each sample gas measurement
for which the analyser is configured. The output is set up in the same way as for mA,
however:
• The voltage range is 0 to 10 V

• There is no 'underrange' facility
• The jam 'High' output value will be held at 10.75 V
• The jam 'Low' output value is held at 0 V
5.9 Correcting O2 measurements for background gases (purity or control only)
☞ If you are measuring O2 (oxygen) in a background of nitrogen or air, you do not

need to correct the measurements.
5.9.1 Overview of measurement errors
For an O2 purity or control transducer, the composition of any typical background gas
in the gas sample will have a minor effect on the analyser measurement. The following
table gives 4 examples of cross-interference errors (O2 measurement errors) in gases
which contain 100% of a specific background gas, for an analyser which has been 'Lo'
calibrated with N2 (nitrogen) and 'Hi' calibrated with O2.
Background gas Error Background gas Error
Argon –0.22% Halothane –1.93%
Carbon dioxide –0.26% Helium –0.29%
Note that the error is directly proportional to the concentration of the background gas
in the sample being measured, and in most cases can be ignored.
If you cannot ignore the error, you can use the procedure in Section 5.9.2 and
Appendix A9 to enter a compensation to correct for the error.
☞ Example: If you are measuring O2 (oxygen) in a background of carbon dioxide

–0.26 should be entered as the cross interference offset.
☞ A full list of cross-interference offsets (O2 measurement errors) are given in

Appendix A9 For a control measurement the offset should be taken from the
20 °C column and for a purity measurement use the 60 °C column.
05410001A / Revision 6 57
5.9.2 Entering a cross-interference (X-Interference) compensation
☞ You can only apply cross-interference compensation to O2 purity or control

measurements.
☞ X-Interference compensation is disabled during calibration, and is not applied

to the values shown in Figure 74. All other outputs (that is, serial or mA
outputs) remain compensated.
Use the following procedure to enter a compensation to correct for an O2 (oxygen)

measurement error:
1. Select ➞ Set up ➞ X-Interference.
☞ If your analyser is configured for a single sample measurement, the

X-Interference offset screen is then displayed. Continue at step 3.
2. With the X-Interference select screen

displayed select the required
measurement, then press the
soft key.
3. The offset value shown on the
X-Interference offset screen is the
correction which will be applied to O2 Figure 59 – The X-Interference
(oxygen) sample measurements offset screen
before they are displayed (or output).
4. Edit the displayed offset as described
in Section 4.10.
5.10 Selecting display units
You can change the measurement units shown on the display (and output). The
following display units are supported:
Units Meaning
% volume %
ppm parts per million
vpm volume parts per million
mg/m3 mg m-3 (milligrams per normal cubic metre)
mol/mol mols per mol (or moles per mole)
% LEL volume % of the Lower Explosive Limit
58 05410001A / Revision 6
☞ When you select display units other than the measurement default units, you
must also enter the units conversion factor: refer to Appendix A5 to determine
the units conversion factor for your specific application.
☞ If you select the "off" option on the units selection screen, the display units
revert to the measurement default units as supplied.
☞ Converting from one measurement unit to a different display measurement

unit may reduce the resolution of the displayed measurements.
Use the following procedure to select the displayed units, and to change the units
conversion factor:
1. Select ➞ Set up ➞ Unit selection.

2. If you want to change the currently
displayed units, press the soft
key: the units selection screen will
then be displayed.

05410001A / Revision 6 59
5.11 Configuring the measurement alarms
5.11.1 Alarm modes and levels
Two separate measurement alarms are available for each sample gas measurement
for which the analyser is configured, and you can configure each alarm to operate in
one of three modes:
Alarm mode Operation
None The alarm is not used (that is, an alarm condition will not be
activated under any circumstances)
Low alarm An alarm condition will be activated when a sample measurement

is lower than the preset alarm level *
High alarm An alarm condition will be activated when a sample measurement

is higher than the preset alarm level *
* During a calibration, an alarm will only be activated if the alarm 'Follow' option is set to yes.
While a measurement alarm condition is activated:
• An 'alarm' icon is shown on the measurement screen (see Section 4.2). The
number ("1" or "2") in the icon will identify the alarm which has been triggered.
• The alarm LED on the front of the analyser (see Figure 1) flashes on and off.
• If the alarm relays have been fitted the appropriate alarm relay will be triggered.
You can view the details of the activated alarm: see Section 5.11.4.
☞ Ensure that the measurement alarm and hysteresis levels are not too close to
the expected sample measurements. (If they are, minor – and acceptable –
variations in your sample gas concentrations will result in spurious alarms.)
☞ If you configure one measurement alarm as 'low' and configure the other
alarm as 'high', ensure that the 'high' alarm and hysteresis levels are higher
than the 'low' alarm and hysteresis levels. (If you do not, the analyser can be
permanently in an alarm condition, until you correct the levels.)

5.11.2 Latching/non-latching alarms
You can configure each of the two measurement alarms to be either latching or not
latching:
Select ➞ Set up.
Alarm setting Meaning
Latching Once the alarm condition has been activated, the alarm condition
remains activated (even if subsequent sample measurements would
not trigger the alarm) until the alarm is manually unlatched
Not latching Once the alarm condition has been activated, the alarm condition
remains activated only until a subsequent sample measurement
which would not trigger the alarm is made. The alarm condition is
then deactivated
When necessary, use the following procedure to unlatch any 'latched' measurement
alarm(s):
1. On the measurement screen, press the soft key; the alarm option screen
(Figure 67) will then be displayed.
2. With the 'Unlatch' option highlighted, press the soft key. All latched
alarms will then be unlatched and the measurement screen will be displayed
again
5.11.3 Hysteresis levels
The hysteresis level associated with a measurement alarm determines when an alarm
condition (once activated) is deactivated, and this depends on the alarm mode, as
follows:
Select ➞ Set up.
Alarm mode Effect of hysteresis
Low alarm Once the low alarm condition has been activated, the alarm
condition will not be deactivated until a sample measurement is
above (alarm level + hysteresis level)
High alarm Once the high alarm condition has been activated, the alarm
condition will not be deactivated until a sample measurement is
below (alarm level – hysteresis level)
62 05410001A / Revision 6
For example:
• If a 'low' alarm has an alarm level of 98% and a hysteresis level of 1%, the alarm will
be activated when a sample measurement is < 98%, and the alarm will not be
deactivated until a sample measurement is > 99%.
• If a 'high' alarm has an alarm level of 3 ppm and a hysteresis level of 1 ppm, the
alarm will be activated when a sample measurement is 3 ppm, and the alarm will
not be deactivated until a sample measurement is 2 ppm.
5.11.4 Viewing the measurement alarm status
1. Select ➞ View.
2. In the alarm status screen shown in
Figure 67, both measurement alarms
are shown as 'Inactive'; that is, either
the mode of each alarm is set to
'none', or no alarm condition currently
exists.

5.12 Setting up the flow alarm (option)
The flow alarm (utilising Flowcube [F3] technology) option measures the sample flow
through a measurement transducer and allows the user to configure two low flow
alarms and one high flow alarm. The flow alarm allows preventative maintenance to
be taken before the sample flow rate reduces to unacceptable levels
(see Section 2.4).
The configuration options and defaults for each flow alarm are given below:
Alarm % Level Status type % Level Status defaults

configurable? configurable? default
Low flow Yes Yes 70% Maintenance required

alarm 1
Low flow Yes Yes 50% Fault

alarm 2
High flow No Yes 130% Not active

alarm
☞ In environments where significant ambient temperature changes are

expected, it is important to consider the temperature coefficient of the flow
alarm (page 128) when setting alarm levels.
☞ A zero and Normal calibration must be performed on the flow alarm before the
reading is accurate. See Section 6.4 for the calibration procedure.
☞ During measurement calibration or validation (not flow calibration) the status

level of each flow alarm will be demoted. A Fault status will be reported as a
Maintenance Required and a maintenance required status will not be reported
at all.
1. Select ➞ Set up ➞ Flow alarm.

6 CALIBRATION
CAUTION
During calibration of O2 purity, O2 control, 0-10ppm CO, 0-10ppm CO2,
0-500ppm CO2, 0-20ppm N2O or 0-50ppm CH4 measurements it is good
practice to perform a low (Lo) calibration followed by a high (Hi) calibration.
However, a single point calibration is often sufficient (see Appendix A10).
CAUTION
During calibration of TCD measurements it is good practice to perform a low
(Lo) calibration followed by a high (Hi) calibration.
CAUTION
During calibration of O2 Trace measurements a regular low point calibration
can be performed with less frequent high (air point) calibrations
(see Appendix A10). If both high and low calibrations are being carried out
then it is important that the high calibration is carried out first.
6.1 Manual calibration
☞ The required frequency of calibration depends on the reliance that you place
upon the accuracy and consistency of the measurements made by the
analyser. Adjust the frequency according to your requirements and the drift
characteristics of your analyser (see Appendix A9 and A10).
☞ You can carry out a manual calibration at any time unless an automatic
validation/calibration is in progress.
☞ If the auto validation/calibration option is installed, the gas control relays

(Section 5.2.5) will select the correct gas once the manual calibration screen
is shown (Figure 73). Sample gas will be reselected once the screen is exited.
You must manually calibrate the analyser as part of the initial set up, and whenever
ambient conditions have changed.
If the analyser is configured for automatic validation/calibration (see Section 6.2):
• We recommend that you manually calibrate the analyser regularly during normal
operation (see Appendix A10), and that you keep a record of the calibration errors.
Use the errors to adjust the required calibration frequency.
Manually calibrate the analyser as follows:
1. Ensure that your equipment is configured to correctly route your calibration gas

6.3 Calibrating the pressure transducer (O2 purity only)
CAUTION
On a pressure driven analyser, do not exceed the specified maximum
calibration gas inlet pressure, and on a flow driven analyser, do not exceed
the specified maximum flow rate. If you do, the pressure transducer may be
damaged and the analyser may not operate correctly.
CAUTION
You must perform low and high measurement calibration (as described in
Section 6) before you calibrate the pressure transducer. The flow rate
through the analyser must be kept constant for both the low and high
pressure calibration points.
If you use pressure compensation (see Section 7.2), you must calibrate the pressure
transducer when you first calibrate the analyser, and annually thereafter.
Calibrate the pressure transducer as follows:
1. Calibrate the analyser as described in Section 6.

2. Temporarily fit a suitable adjustable valve (such as a needle valve) and a
flowmeter to the sample gas outlet (see Figure 2).
3. If the auto validation/calibration option is fitted, the high calibration gas will
automatically be selected during calibration. Otherwise, connect the high
calibration gas supply to the sample gas inlet pipe on the analyser.
4. Fully open the adjustable valve (that is, so that the pressure at the outlet is
ambient atmospheric pressure).
5. Select ➞ Service ➞ Pressure.
6. Allow the O2 measurement shown on
the screen to stabilize (for at least
30 seconds), then take a note of the
calibration gas flow rate and press
the soft key, ensure low
calibration concentration is greater
than 95% and less than 105%.
Figure 85 – The pressure low
calibration screen
72 05410001A / Revision 6
7. If low calibration was successful the

screen should display as shown in
Figure 86.
8. Adjust the valve so that the
measurement reading is between
105 and 115% O2.
9. Adjust your calibration gas supply so Figure 86 – Pressure high
that the flow rate is the same rate as calibration screen
noted in Step 6.
10. Allow the O2 measurement shown on the screen to stabilize for at least
30 seconds, then press the soft key.
11. Open the valve or remove completely and adjust the calibration gas supply so
that the flow is the same as noted in step 6. Pressure transducer calibration is
now complete.
6.4 Calibrating the flow alarm (option)
If the flow alarm option has been fitted you must calibrate the flow alarm when you first
calibrate the analyser and annually thereafter.
Before commencing the calibration procedure, ensure the ambient temperature has
been relatively constant for at least half an hour.
Use the following procedure to calibrate the flow alarm:
1. Select ➞ Service ➞ Flow alarm.
2. Select the zero calibration option and

stop the flow of gas through the
analyser. Wait 3 minutes before
pressing the soft key.

7 GENERAL OPERATION
CAUTION
Sample and calibration gases must be as specified in Sections 2.4 and 2.5.
If the pressure/flow rates are outside the ranges specified in Sections 2.4
and 2.5, you must regulate the gases externally, before they enter the
analyser.
CAUTION
Before you allow sample or calibration gases into the analyser, you must
leave the analyser with the electrical supply switched on for at least:
• 4 hours, on an analyser without CO, CO2, N2O or CH4 transducers.
• 24 hours, on an analyser with CO, CO2, N2O or CH4 transducers.
If you do not, the gases may condense inside the transducer(s) and the
measurement will not be fully stabilised.
7.1 Checking the relay signal outputs
☞ Gas selection relays (sample, cal lo, cal hi) are not effected during the signal
relay override as this could cause hazardous gas flows.
If required, use the following procedure at any time to perform a check on the outputs
of the signal relays fitted to the analyser:
1. Select ➞ Service ➞ Relay.

2. Figure 89 shows the relay state
(energised or deenergised) that the

After you have switched off the analyser, when required or as necessary (for example,
if you need to carry out plant/factory maintenance and will not use the analyser for
several days):
• Ensure the gas inlet and outlets are blocked off (closed valve or protective caps
supplied).
• Isolate/lockout the external electrical supply and disconnect the electrical supply
cable from the analyser.
05410001A / Revision 6 77
8 – Routine maintenance MultiExact Gas Analyser
8 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
WARNING
The analyser must be maintained by a suitably
skilled and competent person.
WARNING
Do not open or attempt to open the analyser yourself. If you do, you
will invalidate any warranty on the analyser, and the analyser may not
operate safely or provide accurate measurements.
WARNING
Sample and calibration gases may be toxic or asphyxiant:
• Never inspect the inlet filter(s), or service or repair the analyser
while such gases are still connected to it.
• If the analyser is to be serviced or repaired it is important that all
pipework is flushed with an inert gas and the analyser is allowed
to freely vent to local atmosphere.
CAUTION
If the analyser is to be temporarily removed, and it is measuring trace CO2,
the pipework should be purged with nitrogen and then the inlet and outlet
should be capped off. This is to prevent exhausting the CO2 scrubber.
8.1 Cleaning the analyser
When necessary, use a damp (but not wet) cloth to wipe clean the outer surfaces of
the analyser (to prevent the entry of dust or other particulates into the interior of the
analyser).
8.2 Inspecting/replacing the fuse (when necessary)
WARNING
Ensure that the electrical supply is isolated/locked out
from the analyser. If you do not, there will be a danger of
injury or death from electric shock.
WARNING
Fire Hazard, only use the same type and
rated fuse as recommended.
78 05410001A / Revision 6
MultiExact Gas Analyser 8 – Routine maintenance
If you think that an electrical supply fuse has failed, use the following procedure to
inspect the fuses and replace it if necessary:
1. Refer to Figure 95. Remove the fuse holder (3) from the electrical supply
connector (1) on the rear of the analyser.
2. Both live and neutral lines have fuse protection. Remove the live fuse (2) from
the holder and check the continuity across the fuse. If there is continuity, the
fuse has not failed: refit it to the fuse holder (3) and repeat for the neutral fuse
(4).
If there is no continuity, the fuse has failed:
• Fit a new fuse (of the correct type and rating, see Section 2.3) to the fuse
holder (3).
3. Refit the fuse holder (3) to the electrical supply connector (1) on the rear of the
analyser.

8.3 Inspecting the optional filter element (O2 purity / control only)
If you only use the analyser on applications which use clean, dry gases, an inlet filter
may not be required. If however, your application requires a filter, it can be easily
checked.
1. Ensure the gas supply to the analyser is switched off.

2. Refer to Figure 96. Unscrew and remove the filter retainer cap (4).
3. Inspect the condition of the white filter element (2, fitted to the spigot on the rear
of the filter retainer cap). If the filter element is wet or dirty:
• Remove the used filter element from the filter retainer cap, and dispose of it.
• Push a new filter element onto the spigot on the inner side of the filter retainer
cap.
4. Inspect the 'O' ring (3) on the inner side of the filter retainer cap (4). If the 'O' ring
is twisted or damaged:
• Remove the 'O' ring, then dispose of it.
• Fit a new 'O' ring to the inner side the filter retainer cap.
5. Ensure that the 'O' ring (3) is correctly located in the recess in the inner side of
the filter retainer cap (4), then refit and tighten the filter retainer cap.
CAUTION
Do not operate the analyser with the filter element removed. If you do,
particulates in the sample gas may seriously damage the analyser.

8.4 Inspecting the filter element (CO / CO2 / N2O / CH4 trace only)
If you only use the analyser on applications which use clean, dry gases, you will only
need to inspect the inlet filter element every 3 months. On other applications, we
recommend that you inspect the inlet filter element more frequently.
Refer to Figure 97.
1. Ensure that the electrical supply to the analyser is switched off.

2. Unscrew the filter nut and replace the old sintered filter with a new one.
3. Replace the filter nut and switch the analyser back on.
CAUTION
Do not operate the analyser with the filter element removed. If you do,
particulates in the sample gas will seriously damage the analyser.

8.5 CO2 scrubber
8.5.1 For 0-10ppm CO2
The scrubber fitted to the 0-10ppm CO2 requires changing every 2 – 4 years
depending on installation practices.
If the T90 – T100 response degrades significantly from the performance observed
when the analyser was commissioned, then this may indicate that the scrubber
requires changing.
Contact Servomex or your local Servomex agent for instruction on how the scrubber
can be changed.
8.5.2 For 0-500ppm CO2
The scrubber fitted in the 0-500ppm CO2 sealed transducer requires changing after 10
years of normal operation.
8.6 Use of the analyser with toxic gases
WARNING
If toxic gases are present in the gas stream, the concentrations of the
gases sampled or used for calibration of the analyser may be above
their respective threshold limit values, so:
• You must regularly leak-test the analyser and associated
equipment.
• If any leaks are found, do not continue to use the analyser or
associated equipment until appropriate corrective action has
been taken.
We recommend that you leak-test the analyser at least once every
6 months:
• If there are leaks within the analyser, it must be returned to
Servomex for repair. Do not continue to use the analyser.
• You must seal any leaks in your sample pipelines or system.
CAUTION
When you carry out a leak test, do not exceed a maximum pressure of
34.5 kPa gauge (0.35 bar gauge, 5 psig) and do not introduce a sudden
change of pressure into the analyser. If you do, you may damage the
analyser. We recommend that you allow at least 30 seconds to fully
pressurise the analyser to the maximum pressure.
82 05410001A / Revision 6
CAUTION
If you use a liquid to assist in leak testing, do not spill liquid onto the
horizontal surfaces of the analyser or it's electrical connections.
8.7 Preventative maintenance
To minimise unscheduled analyser downtime, ensure the proper operation of the

analyser and to comply with the guidelines of applicable regulatory bodies, we
recommend that you utilise the SERVOSURE annual preventative maintenance
program for your analyser.
The preventative maintenance program consists of a yearly inspection of the analyser,

and repair of any faults, to ensure that the analyser meets its original factory
specification. Once inspection and repair are complete, you will be provided with a full
SERVOSURE report.
Note that you will always be informed in advance if any repairs or new parts are
required for your analyser.
Contact Servomex or your local Servomex agent to arrange for a preventative

maintenance contract.

A1 RS232 CONNECTION DETAILS

WARNING
Ensure that the electrical installation of any equipment connected to
the analyser conforms with all applicable local and national electrical
safety requirements.
WARNING
The RS232 output is separated from the analyser mains circuits by
reinforced insulation. The terminals must only be connected to
circuits that are themselves separated from mains voltages by at
least reinforced insulation.
CAUTION
To comply with EMC requirements, you must use a screened cable to
connect to the RS232 output. The screen must also be connected to the
analyser enclosure.
A1.1 Overview
The serial port on the MultiExact can be used to output measurement and status data
and to transfer configurations to and from other MultiExact units.
The serial port on the rear of the analyser (Figure 2, item 19) is an RS232 ± 5.5 V
9-way 'D' type connector.

Appendix MultiExact Gas Analyser
A1.2 Connecting the analyser to a PC
The analyser can be directly connected to the 9-way 'D' type serial port (usually
designated "COM1" or "COM2") on your PC. Use a compatible 9-way 'D Null Modem'
cable (with a recommended maximum length of 3 metres), with female-to-female
connectors. To prevent the cable coming loose at the analyser ensure the connector
screws are tightened (if supplied on the cable).
If your PC only has USB serial ports, use a commercially available 9-way 'D' type
serial to USB converter to connect the PC.
A1.3 Configuring the RS232 serial output parameters
You must configure the analyser serial output parameters to suit the requirements of
the PC (or other device) which you have connected to the serial output port on the
analyser. The output parameters which you can configure are listed below:

command in HyperTerminal. You can then import this text directly into applications
such as Excel®.
05410001A / Revision 6 99
A1.5 Configuration transfer
If you are setting up multiple units and you want to use the same configuration settings
in each analyser, you can transfer configuration data from one unit to another, either
via a computer or directly with one another. This way all the user setable
configurations: calibration tolerances and targets; auto validation sequences, mA
ranges and settings, alarm settings etc can be transferred to multiple units. Both units
must have matching options fitted. If they differ, a transfer will not be possible.
1. To activate the transfer configuration

utility hold down the 4th soft key for
5 seconds during the analyser start
up sequence. The screen to the right
will appear:
Figure A3 – Transfer configuration

APPENDIX
A2 SERIAL OUTPUT FORMATS

The serial output consists of a number of measurement lines, one line for each
update.
Each measurement line consists of a number of elements, separated from each other
by the delimiter string " ; " (space, semicolon, space), in the following format:
<date> ; <time> ; <gas> ; <meas> ; <units> ; <status>

[ ; <gas> ; <meas> ; <units> ; <status>]
where:
<date> Is the date on which the measurement was made.
<time> Is the time at which the measurement was made.
<gas> Specifies the sample gas measured.
<measurement> Is an actual sample measurement, as displayed on the

measurement screen.
<units> Is the measurement units, as displayed on the measurement

screen.
<status> Up to three letters may be displayed relating to status, these are:

F = fault, M = maintenance required, S = service in progress.
"[" and "]" Elements between these bracket symbols are only output when
the analyser is configured for two sample measurements. The
bracket symbols themselves do not appear in the output.
An extract from a typical serial output for a 1-measurement analyser is shown below:

A3 IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE FOR MODBUS COMMUNICATIONS

(OPTION)
A3.1 Introduction
This appendix details the implementation and use of the Modbus protocol in the
MultiExact analyser.
A3.2 References
Document "MODBUS over Serial Line Specification & Implementation guide V1.0
Nov 02" Modbus web site modbus.org.
A3.3 Modbus Setup
The Modbus setup form will allow the user to configure the following parameters:
Default values are in Bold.
Parameters Options Comments

Address 1 to 247 Slave address of unit.
Mode ASCII or RTU Select serial transmission mode.
Baud rate 2400, 4800, 9600,
19200, 38400
Parity Odd, Even, None.
104 05410001A / Revision 6

A3.4 Supported function codes
For simplicity, only the following function codes will be supported.
Function Description Usage

01 Read coils Read calibration status, pump state, etc.
02 Read discrete inputs Read faults and alarm states.
03 Read holding registers Read settings.
04 Read input registers Read measurements, units, etc.
05 Write single coil Change modes, perform calibration etc.
06 Write single register Change single setting.
08 Sub Function Diagnostic to test communications.
00 = Return
query data
16 Write multiple registers Change multiple settings.
A3.5 Exception codes
If an error should occur while processing a message one of the following exception
codes will be returned by the instrument.
Code Condition Meaning

01 Illegal function Requested function code is not supported.
02 Illegal data address The combination of data address and transfer
length is invalid for this function.
03 Illegal data value A value contained in the query data field is not an
allowable value. This indicates a fault in the
structure of the remainder of a complex request.
This does NOT mean that a value to be stored in a
register is incorrect as Modbus has no means of
determining what is legal for any particular register.
04 Slave device failure An unrecoverable error occurred while the unit was
attempting to perform the requested action.
A3.6 Addressing
Addresses in Modbus ADU (application data unit), run from 1 – N, whereas addresses
in the Modbus PDU (protocol data unit) run from 0 – N. This appendix gives addresses
in the ADU model. Depending on the particular Modbus master, addresses may have
to be entered as they are given or have 1 subtracted from them. For example to read
register 101 an address of 100 may be needed.
05410001A / Revision 6 105

A3.7 Floating point numbers
Floating point numbers (e.g. 12.34, –1012.32, etc.), are digitally represented using the
IEEE–754 format. Single precision floating point numbers are used throughout and
they require 32 bits of data. Since a Modbus register holds 16 bits it takes 2 registers
to represent a floating point number. We default to having the most significant word of
the float, bits 16 – 31, in the first register, and the least significant word, bits 0 – 15, in
the next register. This order can be reversed by setting a coil in the system control
mapping (Appendix A3.14).
A3.8 System data mapping
Read-only access to system data will be provided in a block of 100 registers. These
can be accessed as input registers using function code 04.
Register Name Comments

1–7 Serial number ASCII text, 14 characters max,
terminated by a zero.
8 – 15 Software version ASCII text, 16 characters max,
A3.9 Transducer data mapping
Each transducer will provide read-only access to its measurements and associated
data in blocks of input registers that can be read with function code 04.
The first block of registers provides just the measurement data from all transducers
allowing all measurements to be obtained with a single request. Each register
provides 2 bytes of data so it takes 2 registers each to store a 4 byte floating point
measurement value.

5001 – 5002 Transducer 1 Floating point number
5003 – 5004 Transducer 2
A block of 100 registers is allocated for each transducer to provide the means of
supplying the measurement and other transducer related data as follows:

101 – 200 Transducer 1 Measurements and data for each transducer
106 05410001A / Revision 6

The following table shows the assignment for transducer 1. Each register provides
2 bytes of data.

A3.10 System Fault Mapping
Read-only access to system fault information will be provided in a block of

100 registers. These can be accessed as discrete inputs using function code 02 or as
input registers using function code 04. Reading them as discrete inputs provides a
simple bit result for each, 0 for off and 1 for on. Reading them as input registers
provides information on their NAMUR status, as follows:
• 0 = off
• 1 = fault
• 2 = maintenance required
• 3 = service in progress
The fault, maintenance required, and service in progress faults provide a summary of
the other states and can only be off or on. The registers are assigned as follows:

1001 Fault If any system fault exists.
1002 Maintenance required If any system maintenance required status
exists.
1003 Service in progress If any system service in progress status
exists.

Read-only access to transducer fault and alarm information will be provided in a block
of 100 registers and coils. These can be accessed as discrete inputs using function
code 02 or as input registers using function code 04. Reading them as discrete inputs
provides a simple bit result for each, 0 for off and 1 for on. Reading them as input
registers provides information on their NAMUR status, as follows:
• 0 = off,
• 1 = fault,
• 2 = maintenance required,
• 3 = service in progress.
