The D-CEM2100 is a dual-pass transmissometer configured for the measurement of opacity and dust
concentration within the flue gas. Its unique optical arrangement provides continuous measurements of
transmissivity of visible light across the stack in opposite directions, providing not only an accurate average
of the dust loading in the stack, but a dynamic assessment of any mis-alignment errors that may occur due to
stack movement.
The analyser consists of a pair of stack-mounted transceivers designed to send and receive a visible light
beam across the stack in order to obtain measurement of transmissivity of the stack gases, from which are
calculated values of opacity and dust concentration.
The transceivers are controlled by a signal processor unit (SPU) that can be interfaced with a laptop
computer via a serial RS232 link for commissioning and servicing.
A remote data display unit (DDU) is connected to the processor via a 4-wire data bus up to 1km in length.
This module enables all output and diagnostic data to be accessed on a 2-line, 32-character alpha-numeric
display and keypad. It also provides 2 x 4-20mA outputs and 2 x volt-free contact relays for alarms and an
RS 485 MODBUS output. These outputs are fully configurable from the keypad and display.
A second DDU can also be connected to the SPU if required – see Supplement 1 at the end of this
document.
1.2 Overview
Dust and smoke emissions have for a long time been recognised as major atmospheric pollutants,
particularly since such emissions from stacks are clearly visible to an observer. There has been a
requirement for monitoring, and quantifying these emissions, for some time and a variety of instruments have
been marketed throughout the world for this purpose.
Instruments in the past have, however, generally proved to be unreliable, falling rapidly into disuse or to be
so expensive and complex as to be affordable only by the very large users, such as power stations. The
CODEL D-CEM2100 seeks to overcome these problems by providing a reliable, simple to use instrument
with low maintenance requirements.

2 Measurement Principle
Consider the two identical transceivers positioned at either side of the flue (or duct), unit 1 and unit 2. The
transmissivity of light from unit 1 to unit 2 (unit 1 transmitting) can be represented by the equation:
The transmissivity of light from unit 2 to unit 1 (unit 2 transmitting) can also be represented by the equation:
21 = K2 (Dr1/Dt2)
where:

LED 1 LED 2

Detector 1 Detector 2

Section 2
Measurement Principle
= √12 . 21
As the two bracketed terms above are each measured from only one of the transceivers, the output of the
instrument is independent of drift of either detector.
When the ball valve is closed the transmitted light signal received by the internal detector is increased by
light reflecting from the mirror on the ball valve, thus:
where Dt is the transmitted light signal with the ball valve open and ‘c’ is a constant representing the fraction
of the light from the LED that reaches the detector via the ball valve mirror and ‘l’ is the transmissivity of the
transceiver lens. This term is ‘squared’ because the light passes through the lens twice en route to the
detector.
The value of ‘c’ can be determined by making a measurement of Dtmirror when the lens is known to be clean
and ‘l’ can be set to the value 1, thus:
l2 = k

3 Specification
* The dust calibration depends upon the size and nature of the dust particles. Only an accurate comparison
of measured extinction values and dust concentration in mg/m3, determined by iso-kinetic gravimetric
measurement, can produce a rigorous calibration. Normally the testing will be performed in accordance with
the requirements of EN14181.
The instrument allows the operator to interrogate the micro-processor to observe the system parameters,
and to change them if required.
A menu-based program is used and access is gained by four keys mounted on the lid of the DDU.
NB. Any data contained in the following display illustrations is intended to be representative only.
4.1.1 Measurement
The two transceivers are mounted on opposite sides of the duct, each transceiver transmits modulated light
to, and receives modulated light from the other transceiver. The detector within each transceiver measures
both the transmitted light (dint) and the received light (dext). These measurements are used to calculate the
transmissivity from Trx 1 to Trx 2 (t12) and from Trx 2 to Trx 1 (t21) which is used to calculate the opacity.
4.1.2 Calibration
During the commissioning procedure, a calibration is conducted that sets the system gain to produce a zero
or known opacity.
NB. The outputs of the instrument are unaffected by key operation in all modes except the set-up
and maintenance modes.

4.9.7.5 Oxygen/CO2
To correct the data to standard levels of oxygen or CO2 an estimate of the oxygen at the point of
measurement is required. If no normalisation for oxygen or CO2 is required, then a fixed value should be
used and the standard level brought to the same value.
If the oxygen or CO2 level is being continuously measured connect the analogue output of the oxygen
analyser into the CODEL analyser and select the analogue input. Note that the O2 standard must be less
than 20.9% and the CO2 standard must be greater than 0%.
4.9.7.6 Pressure
To correct the data to a standard pressure, normally 101kPa, the pressure at the point of measurement
needs to be determined. If the flue pressure is relatively constant through all firing conditions, then a fixed
input should be used. If the pressure is not constant, it should be measured and bought into the instrument
via the 4-20mA input within the processor.
If no normalisation for pressure is required, then a fixed value should be used and the standard level brought
to the same value.
The standard level is set to wet or dry. For the set values option the percentage water vapour in the flue gas
needs to be determined and entered. This has a range of 0.0 to 30.0%. If the vapour concentration is
relatively constant a fixed input should be used. If it is not it should be measured and brought into the
instrument via the 4-20mA input in the processor.
4.10 Calibrate
From this option the levels of the detector within the transceivers may be displayed. The basic calibration of
the instrument is set by a ‘Gain Factor’ which can be calculated during a calibration routine.
5 CALIBRATE
Press the ENTER key while this is displayed and the following options are available:
4.10.1 Calibrate
The basic calibration of the instrument can be calculated from this routine. It is preferable to conduct this
operation with the plant shut down to ensure zero opacity within the duct. If this is not possible, however, the
instrument can calibrate to an estimate of the opacity. Set the calibration target either to an estimate of the
opacity or to zero, and set the desired number of cycles over which the calibration factor is determined (a
minimum of 30 is recommended). The calibration should now be run and the display will show a count down
during its execution. When the calibration is complete, the instrument will exit the calibration routine.
Note: if the system is being used as an EN14181 QAL 1 compliant instrument then the zero calibration must
be carried out on the zero point alignment tube. The heads and ball valves will need to be transferred to the
commissioned zero rig before completing the zero calibration, see below and supplement 4.

Initiate - there are two methods of initiating an automatic zero calibration, by the on
board clock or remotely via a logic input. Scroll and select using the
ARROW and ENTER keys
Cal timer - having selected Cal timer first set the cal interval by scrolling the 3-digit
number
in the display using the ARROW keys to give an interval between
calibrations measured in hours. Save the setting by pressing the ENTER
key. Setting a value of 000 will inhibit the timed auto cal.
Next Cal - using the ARROW and ENTER keys enter the time in 24-hour clock format
at
which the next calibration is to be performed, e.g. 0352 is 3:52 am.
Exit - after entering the last data the display switches to EXIT. Press ENTER to
revert
to Mode 1 display and normal operation.
Logic - this enables the plant status logic input to be configured as an input for
calibration initiation. Press ENTER to access. Select ‘YES’ using the
ARROW keys and press ENTER to accept. This will overwrite any
configurations previously made for Plant Status input.
Output Data - select YES if output data is to be on current output 1. After completing
automatic
compensation and span check, current output 1 reads zero for 120 seconds
and then the sum of the window compensations for 120 seconds. The span
check value is then output for 120 seconds prior to returning to normal
output measurement.
The relationship between extinction and dust density may be described as the ‘Dust Factor’.
where:
This Dust Factor is input and held within the instrument to convert extinction to fine dust density. Some
important points to note when calibrating the analyser from iso-kinetic sampling results are given below.
- Take care to ensure that the normalisation parameters temperature, oxygen, pressure &
water vapour) are set to sensible values, and establish to what standard conditions the
sampling results will be normalised to. Iso-kinetic results are automatically brought to
ambient temperature as the flue sample cools through the sample line, and in general these
are then normalised to 0C (273K). Normalisation to the other parameters is variable, and
depends largely upon whether they are being measured at the same time as sampling.
- It is reasonable to start with an estimate of the dust factor (see below) and ensure that at
least the correct temperature is held within the instrument, entered via the keypad. If it is
uncertain whether the sampled data will be normalised to the other conditions, they may be
taken out of operation, by bringing the measured values to the standard levels. e.g. O 2
standard level 3%, value fixed at 3% dry, Pressure standard level 101kPa, value fixed at
101kPa and Water Vapour standard level dry, value fixed at 0%.
- While the sampling is being conducted, record the minutes average and normalised dust
value mg/Nm3 preferably from a chart recorder, if used, (making sure of course, that the
current output has been correctly configured). If not available, however, the displayed
normalised dust value should be recorded regularly for comparison.
After the sampling has been conducted, the two results may be compared, and the dust factor adjusted if
necessary, to bring the model analysers’ calibration to that measured by iso-kinetic sampling.
NB. Important. Take care to compare only like with like with regard to the normalising data.
It must be emphasised that this approximation of the dust factor cannot be accurate and that it might be as
much as a factor of 2 in error particularly if the particle size is large.

Note that on positive pressure ducts, ensure that the ball valves are closed before removing the transceivers
(for lens cleaning etc.) in order to avoid exposure to hot toxic gases. If in doubt concerning the valve position,
then de-energise the valves to ensure closure before removing the transceivers.

Using standard MODBUS protocol function 03 allows a host to obtain the contents of one or more holding
registers in the CODEL DCEM2100.
The request frame from the host (typically a DCS or SCADA) defines the relative address of the first holding
register followed by the total number of consecutive registers to be read.
The response frame from the CODEL DCEM2100 lists the contents of the requested registers, returning 2
bytes per register with the most significant byte first. A maximum of 125 registers can be accessed per
request.
The formats of the request and response frames are detailed below, where ‘X’ and ‘n’ are hexadecimal

8 Routine Maintenance
All CODEL equipment is designed for continuous and reliable operation and to keep the levels of
maintenance to an absolute minimum. The electronics require no routine maintenance; they are all solid-
state and undergo a rigorous factory burn-in procedure.
It is important that the optical windows of both the transceivers are kept reasonably clean and any mounting
tubes free from build-up of dust and fly ash. This can be accomplished by removing the transceivers** and
wiping their windows with a soft, dry cloth. If the windows are cleaned, a calibration is advised afterwards.
Should a clean flue condition become available and the instrument was commissioned with an opacity offset,
it is recommended that a calibration be conducted to take advantage of this situation.
On positive pressure ducts ensure that the ball valves are closed prior to removal of the transceivers
for lens cleaning – failure to do so could cause exposure to dangerous, hot, toxic gases.
9 Fault Finding
The analysers that make up this SmartCem system are sophisticated devices and any problems
necessitating internal repair or adjustment should only be undertaken by fully trained technicians.
In the absence of any CODEL trained technicians on site, it is strongly recommended that, in the event of a
fault, CODEL or its local service agent be contacted immediately with equivalent current information
contained in the analyser records.
To obtain current values for data recorded in the analyser records follow the ‘Current Data’ procedure
described in the SmartCom software manual (OPS.088).

Section 10
Requirements for EN 14181
This means, in essence, purchasing an analyser with a QAL 1 certification, calibrating it to the QAL 2 standard
and then performing Annual Surveillance tests and a Linearity test. The QAL 2 calibration may be undertaken
up to six months after the initial installation, in order to allow the analyser to “settle in”. Initial installation and
commissioning are covered in Chapters 6 and 7 of this manual.
Prior to QAL 2 calibration, Annual Surveillance Testing and Linearity checking, the DCEM 2100 has to have
off-line checks performed to establish that it is working correctly. These checks are undertaken on a Zero point
alignment tube. This tube should be placed near the location of the sensors if possible to minimise disruption
when removing the sensors from the stack; if the tube is placed some distance from the stack, the sensors
and associated enclosure will have to be demounted and set up elsewhere, a very time consuming procedure.
a) Ensure a clear duct. Or with the head mounted on a zero point alignment tube )see supplement 4)
b) Remove the cap to the check cell holder
c) Remove the lowest value Neutral density filter from the box.
N.B. THE FILTER WILL BE CONTAINED WITHIN A PLASTIC BAG, DO NOT REMOVE THE FILTER UNTIL
IT IS REQUIRED. DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS WINDOWS OR ALLOW DUST TO FALL UPON THEM.
ONCE THE FILTER HAS BEEN USED, RETURN IT IMMEDIATELY TO THE PLASTIC BAG AND
REPLACE IN THE BOX. SEAL THE BOX.
ANY DUST OR FINGERPRINTS MAY AFFECT THE READINGS YOU OBTAIN AND CAUSE ACCURACY
ISSUES. IF THE THERE ANY FINGERPRINTS ON THE WINDOWS, THE UNIT MUST BE RETURNED TO

The Zero point alignment tube is a vital component in the accurate calibration of opacity monitors. Calibration
of these devices cannot be carried out on a stack due to the fact that dust is ever present in the stack, even if
the process is turned off, due to the venturi effect drawing dust up the stack.
The tube can be obtained from CODEL International but because of their size and weight it is normally
uneconomical to do so. Operators are advised to construct their own and place it near the dust monitor
sampling point.
The arrangement below should be used on ducts less than 10 metres in width. For longer ducts please

17.6 Application
The zero point alignment tube must be used to entirely replicate the separation and alignment of the sensor
in its working position. To do that , it is necessary to have micro-alignment adjustment for each sensoron the
zero point alignment tube.
1. Transfer the entire head, ball valve and purge assemblies from the duct (a laborious procedure
because the purges have ciompressed air connected to them) OR
2. Fit permanent dummy purges to the tube so that only the heads and ball valves need to be
transferred. If the site purges are left in place, it will minimise the riskof hot process gasses being
vented locally from the duct
Before starting any tests, temporarily blank off the open ports into te duct to protect personnel.
Mount the heads and ball valves on the zero point alignment tube – reproducing the orientation of the
sensors exactly as they are fitted in their measurement locations.
Remove the Tx1 head (noting its orientation with respect to its ball valve) and look through it towards the
Tx2. The transmitted beam from the Tx2 should be a full disc with no cropped edges. If the edges are
cropped, realign Tx2 using the alignment adjustment in the purge.
Next fit a Codel alignment telescope to the Tx1 ball valve and adjust the alignment of Tx1 until the
transmitted beam from Tx2lies perfectly central within the cross hairs of the alignment telescope. Note the
orientation of the telescope.

Use Open / Close stoppers to adjust mirror positions. Turn the stopper clockwise or anticlockwise
to adjust mirror position and then lock it with help of grub screw to spindle.
19.4 WORKING:
Motorised Fail Safe Shutters take around 10-15 sec to fully OPEN OR CLOSE according to given
command by software.
To accommodate this operational behaviour during window checks & calibration, software is
programmed to wait for almost 20 sec before proceeding to next operation.
Actuator Control Unit (ACU) is used to identify commands from SPU and convert them suitably to
requirements of motorised actuators.
In case of mains power failure, Capacitor bank in the circuit takes over to close the fail safe
shutters and protect lens from getting contaminated. On resumption of mains power, capacitor
bank is kept on standby again. A Circuit comprising of capacitor and relay will ensure that bank
is cut off from circuit after certain time interval (typically 15-30 Sec) when power loss occurs to
protect it from discharging quickly.
Valves will be in closed position when shipped from the factory. At the time of commissioning,
please ensure that position of indicator on top of motorised actuators coincide with physical
position of valve. E.g. when actuator pointer indicates ‘CLOSE’, valve should also be in ‘CLOSE’
position, such that mirror is facing the Lens of transceivers.
On application of power ACU identifies the input command from SPU and accordingly activate
the actuators.
