Apertures • Created by applicable regulation of the sample and reference beam balance
Sample cell • Depending on the application, the sample chamber receives a sample, zero-point
or end-point gas flow so that a part of the infrared radiation is absorbed in a
concentration-dependent manner
˝
• The radiation passes unhindered if the reference chamber is filled with a gas that
does not absorb infrared (N2).
Infrared detector • A two-part transmission detector with front and rear chambers filled with the gas
components to be measured, with selectivity being determined by the infrared
detector. The two chambers are separated by an infrared-transparent window.
Additionally, the two chambers are separated by a stressed metal membrane with
counterelectrodes. This unit is known as the diaphragm capacitor.
• It reacts in the following manner in the presence of the sample component:
• IR radiation is weakened in the sample cell's sample chamber and enters the
receiver's front chamber.
• The equilibrium between the sample and reference beams initially established
by calibration and the aperture is now disturbed.
• There is an energy difference (temperature change) in the form of reduced
pressure in the front chamber.
• This pressure reduction is transformed into a capacitance change in the
membrane capacitor by deflecting the metal diaphragm.
• Since the diaphragm capacitor is connected to a high-impedance DC voltage, a
corresponding periodic AC signal is generated.

Associated gas The sample gas is a mixture of the sample component(s) and associated gas
effects components. If the infrared absorption bands of one or more associated gas
components overlap the sample component’s bands, the sample results will be
affected.
The influence of interfering gas components is termed cross sensitivity or carrier
gas dependence.
Cross sensitivity is determined by connecting an inert gas (e.g. N2) which is mixed
with the interfering gas components (corresponding to the sample gas).
The influence acts on the zero-point measurement value indication.
Carrier gas dependence, which is rarely observed. Occurs when the physical
properties of the sample gas differ markedly from those of the sample gas. This
interference changes the slope of the device’s characteristic curve. This curve is
corrected at the end-point.
The Uras 14 has the following methods available for interference correction:
• Interference filter
• Filter cells
• Internal electronic cross-sensitivity correction
• Internal electronic carrier gas correction
Pressure In accordance with the gas laws, the sample cell’s volumetric concentration
depends on the pressure in the sample cell and is thus dependent on the process
gas and air pressure. This effect acts on the end-point and amounts to approx. 1%
of the measurement value per 1% of pressure change (therefore, per 10 hPa).
An internal pressure sensor reduces this effect to 0.2%.
Flow rate The flow rate affects pressure in the sample cell and the module’s T90times.
The flow rate should be between 20 and 100 liters/hour.
Temperature Temperature has a markedly different effect on all optical components in the beam
path. This effect is reduced by:
either:
• Temperature compensation
A temperature sensor in the first infrared detector’s preamplifier measures the
temperature in the module.
This signal is used for electronic correction.
Zero-point effect: ≤ 1% of span per 10°C
End-point effect: ≤ 3% of measurement value per 10°C
or
• Thermostat (optional)
The temperature influence is further reduced by controlled heating of the optical
components to 55°C.
Zero-point effect: ≤ 1% of span per 10°C
End-point effect: ≤ 1% of measurement value per 10°C

Application The Uras 14-Ex analyzer module is capable of measuring non-combustible and
combustible gases under atmospheric conditions which can form an explosive
environment (Zone 1).
Design For use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 (combustible measurement gas) the analyzer module
is installed in a pressure-tight cylinder.
The analyzer module consists of the following components:
• Flange on which the analyzer is mounted
• Cylinder with threaded cap, the cylinder screws into threads in the flange.
All electrical and gas connections are made through the flange.
• Power supply and system bus lines are routed through pressure-tight cable
openings.
• Gas inlet and outlet lines are routed through flame traps.

Overview
Chapter contents In this chapter you will find information on the following module components:
Location in Module The emitter inserts are attached to the modulator receiver disk (aluminum block).
Depending on the measurement task, one or two emitter inserts can be installed.
If only one emitter insert is used, it can be placed in the first or second beam path
depending on the requirements of the measurement application.
Structure The emitter insert consists of a reflective body which houses a wire filament in a
ceramic shell. The unit is sealed behind a gas-tight, infrared-transparent window.
To increase its service life the emitter insert is filled with a special gas.

Location in module The apertures and their adjustment screws are located on the main frame between
the modulator and sample cells.
Structure The main frame always has two apertures installed and these are moved back and
forth horizontally by a screw-type drive mechanism.
They are shown in a inset to the cross section of the sample cells installed in the
sample and reference chambers.
Function The apertures act as a shutter for the infrared emitter signal according to the
setting provided for the sample or reference beam.
Goal Equal intensity for both infrared detector beams during the basic adjustment.
Asymmetry is caused by design factors or sample gas characteristics.
Alignment is accomplished with the "optical alignment" function.

Sample cell with
integrated filter cell
Location in module The filter cell is installed between the sample cell and infrared detector or between
the sample cell and calibration cell.
Function The sample and reference sides are individually filled with the applicable
interference gas.
This causes absorption of the portion of the beam in the range of the interference
gas absorption lines.
Result: A sharp reduction in cross sensitivity.
Versions For various applications there are various versions of the filter cell, as shown
below:
Figure 3-13
Filter cell
Location in module Depending on the module layout and measurement task, the optical filters are
located at the following points:
• Between the sample cell and infrared detector
• Between two infrared detectors
• Between the calibration unit and infrared detector
Structure The optical filter (interference filter) consists of two silicon disks which are
metallically loaded to achieve the desired property.
The filter is fastened in a metal housing.
The housings are different for the various installation locations mentioned above.
Figure 3-14
Optical filters
Structure The calibration unit is a motorized shifting device for the calibration cells.
A small drive motor with a drive pin moves the slide on which the calibration cell is
mounted.
Small permanent magnets are used to improve calibration cell positioning and
attachment.
An attachment using two U mounts makes it possible to have a difference in width
between the versions with and without optical filters.

Location in module The calibration cell is a option to be mounted in the calibration unit.
A calibration cell can be installed in each beam path.
Structure The calibration cell housing consists of a gold-plated metal frame with four
chambers that are sealed gas-tight by means of infrared-transparent windows.
Three chambers are filled with nitrogen.
One chamber is filled with the required test gas mixture.
Figure 3-17
Calibration cell
Location in module The infrared detector is placed at the end of the sample cell.
Depending on the application, there can be from 1 to 4 detectors installed.
A maximum of 2 detectors are possible per beam path.
Function The emission entering the detector is absorbed in the region of the fill gas
absorption lines and by molecular collision is momentarily converted to heat energy
corresponding to pressure. This pressure change is received by the membrane
capacitor.
The 150-V voltage applied now generates a corresponding mV signal via a high-
resistance circuit.
The primary emission absorption occurs in the forward chamber (positive
deflection). In the rear chamber there is a flank-driven emitted beam portion of the
rotation lines which in the case of overlap with interference gas components leads
to cross-sensitivity. The greater depth of the rear chamber causes the absorption of
most of this interference emission and there is also a pressure increase here to
counter the pressure in the front chamber. This suppresses a certain amount of the
cross-sensitivity effect.
The preamplifier has 3 jumpers to allow signal matching to x1, x3 or x10. These
jumpers are set during the initial calibration.
The temperature probe is used to determine the ambient temperature of the optical
components and is therefore part of the optional measurement signal temperature
compensation circuit. Only the first infrared detector’s probe is used for
temperature measurements.
Types All infrared detectors are mechanically identical. Detector fill is determined by the
application. The detectors are suitable for all measurement ranges shown on the
data sheet.
