of safely and without environmental damage. Order-specific information gives
additional information specific to the instrument you have purchased. Appendix
A gives details of the ATEX and IECEx approvals, which may be applicable.
Appendix B gives details of the Input Output Unit, Appendix D describes the
optional In-Situ Heater and how it should be installed. Appendix F covers issues
involved with US EPA compliance. Appendix G covers issues involved with the
Hot Access Port.

About the PROCAL 2000 series

The PROCAL 2000 series is a range of high-performance infrared gas


process/emission analyser systems. These systems are intended to be used for
measuring gas concentrations, particularly in continuous industrial processes and
flue stacks.

Principles behind the system are described in the section entitled Technical
description, together with descriptions of the different component parts that
make up the system. Every system including a PROCAL 2000 Analyser Unit
also incorporates an Analyser Controller. An In-Situ Heater (ISH) is available
as an option, as an Input Output Unit (IOU).

The Procal 1100 (Analyser Control for Windows Network software only for
installation on customer support PC) which can control up to Six Analyser Units,
is supplied with its own Operating Manual. Information relating to additional
equipment that can be used in the system is given in this manual and in the
Procal 1200 manual.

PROCAL 2000 Operating Manual

PROCAL 2000 - an overview

Within the PROCAL 2000, up to six gases may be measured on up to six


channels. The second digit of the model number indicates the number of
measuring channels. For example, the PROCAL 2030 has three measuring
channels.

An optical diagram of the PROCAL 2000 system is shown in Figure 1-1 below.
Filtered IR radiation passes from the Analyser Unit into the sample cell, which is
fitted into the process duct. This sample cell has sintered panels, so allowing the
gas under study to permeate through the sample cell. IR radiation passes
through the sample gas, is reflected by a retro-reflector, and passes through the
sample gas once more back to the Analyser Unit. A PT100 platinum resistance
thermometer is situated in the sample cell. This provides temperature
information to the Procal 1000 series, which acts as the basis for the temperature
compensation.

The Procal 2000 has a built in Auto Verification Unit (AVU) which enables both
automatic and manual purging of the In-Situ Sample Cell.

2 Installation

Preparing the process gas duct


A special flange must be welded directly to the process duct to form a gas-tight entry
exactly as shown in Figure 2-2. This flange may be manufactured from a
3 inch, 150 lb ANSI flange. This item is available from Procal, part number 4-1114
The mating surface of the process duct flange must be of a quality that will allow a gas-
tight joint to be made when a gasket is used between the flange and the Analyser Unit
(or In-Situ Heater if fitted). The use of a flange and stub arrangement should be
avoided unless absolutely necessary, since this could lead to acidic condensation
forming. Figure 2-2 below gives mounting details for the flange.

Analyser Covers
Procal analyser’s are fitted with two basic types of Cooler / Heater however there are the following
exceptions:

 Analysers supplied with ATEX / IEC Certification

 Special Application Heater / Coolers

Refer to order specific drawings in these cases.

Option 1 – Fan Cooled Electrically Heated Cover fitted to Product Code:

PROCAL 2000 AC/AVU-F-24V

This type can be identified by the presence of a 100mm spigot protruding from
the base of the analyser cover.

The cover is fitted with an electrical heater and fan which enables the analyser
to operate in ambient temperatures of -30 ºC to +50 ºC. The heater / cooler
function is controlled by the AU, the set point is factory.

Issue 4 KITTIWAKE PROCAL LTD page 2-9


PROCAL 2000 Operating Manual

Forced air from an integral low voltage electrical fan is channelled past the AU
to draw heat away from the analyser. The Control of the fan is by the Analyser
Unit and cooling capacity is dependent on the ambient air temperature.
Services required – None additional to an AU. Note the Fan requires an
additional 0.8 amp allowance on the 24 Volt power supply. The Heater requires
an additional 2.5 amp allowance on the 24 Volt power supply, Fan and Heater
are not on at the same time.
As the Cover insulates the AU from the ambient air, then if the Fan is disabled
the AU can self-heat to a higher than normal temperature. It is advisable to
configure the system to have a high alarm on the head temperature of +55ºC
and to remove the AU power if this limit is exceeded.
The cover is fitted with a 100mm spigot to enable a flexible hose to be
connected allowing cool air to be ducted to the analyser if installed in a high
ambient temperature environment. Note the analyser will be delivered with a
300mm length of hose if an extended hose is not to be fitted then this should be
attached.
The cover also incorporates as standard an Auto Verification Block internally
piped and wired. The function of Auto Verification Block is described later.

Option 2 – Vortex Cooled Electric Heated Cover fitted to Product Code:

PROCAL 2000 AC/AVU-V-24V


This type can be identified by the Vortex Cooler Cover protruding from the base
of the analyser cover.
The cover is fitted with an electrical heater and vortex cooler which enables the
analyser to operate in ambient temperatures of -30 ºC to +65 ºC. The heater /
cooler function is controlled by the AU, the set point is factory set.
The Vortex cooler is a pressurised air powered cooler requiring an air supply;
cooled air is generated by the vortex tube and is used in a special cover to cool
the Analyser Unit. Control of the air supply is by the Analyser Unit. The Vortex
Cooler system is designed to operate with ambient temperatures up to 65ºC
and has a cooling capacity of 20ºC.
Services required - A supply of high-pressure plant air at 6.8-8 bar (100 -110
psi) and 311 l/min (11scfm). (Procal Standard ISO 8573-1242 see 7-5823-00
in appendix C).
As above, a high alarm on the head temperature is required at +55ºC.
The cover also incorporates as standard an Auto Verification Block internally
piped and wired. The function of Auto Verification Block is described below.

The zero (Instrument Air) and test gas flow rates are controlled by a need valve mounted on the
manifold block. The correct flow is set during the analyser manufacture and therefore there should be
no need to readjust.

The slotted screw flow valve is located on the Auto Verification Unit manifold accessible by removing
the AU outer case.

Figure 2-9

Note: It is important during commissioning that the Zero / Cal Gas flow rate is verified as
process conditions have to be taken into account. To verify that the flow rate is correct the
pressure signal during zero should be approximately 20mbar above process conditions.

If required the flow rate can be adjusted by turning the needle valve mounted within the manifold.

Additional Functions of the Auto Zero / Verification Manifold

 Void Purge
The space in the reflector tube referred to as the void is continuously purge,
the flow rate is controlled using a orifice therefore no adjustment required.

 Analyser Purge
The cast aluminium enclosure containing the main optical components is also
continuously purged, the flow rate is controlled using a orifice therefore no
adjustment required.

3 Operation

Introduction

The Procal 2000 Analyser Unit must be operated as part of a system


incorporating a Procal Analyser Controller. There are no user accessible
controls or indicators on the AU as the whole system operates under the control
of the Procal 1100 or Procal 1200. Full operating instructions for both the
Procal 1100 or Procal 1200 and the complete Procal system are given in the
Operator's Manual supplied with the Procal 1100 or Procal 1200

Introduction

This section outlines the basic theory of infrared measurement of gas


concentrations, and explains how this theory is applied to the PROCAL 2000
range of analysers.

Following a brief overview of the PROCAL 2000, each of the individual


components is described - Analyser Unit, ACU. The optional In-Situ Heater is
described in Appendices to this manual.

This section is intended for those people who need or would like to know how the
Procal 2000 analyser works as a measuring instrument. Understanding the
technical aspects of the analyser and the theory behind its operation are not
necessary for installation and routine operation.

Infra-red absorption theory

Infra-red (IR) radiation lies in the electromagnetic spectrum at wavelengths


between 2 µm and 16 µm (10-6 m). When a beam of broadband IR radiation
passes through most types of gas, the level of IR emerging will be reduced at
certain wavelengths. This is due to absorption by the gas of some of the
radiation at particular wavelengths. The pattern of such absorption - known as
an absorption spectrum - is characteristic of a particular gas. Absorption spectra
are highly effective in identifying gases and concentrations.

A typical absorption spectrum for Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is shown in the


illustration below. It can be seen that CO2 absorbs IR radiation most readily at
wavelengths of 4.4 µm and 2.7 µm. Consequently, these two wavelengths are
widely used in the detection and concentration measurement of CO2.

The amount of radiation absorbed by a gas at its critical wavelength(s) is directly


proportional to the concentration of the gas under study. The illustration below
plots the radiation absorbance of CO2 against its concentration. This plot is
known as a calibration curve. Using this calibration curve allows the
concentration of a CO2 sample to be calculated by measuring its absorbance.

Most process gas analysers - including the PROCAL 2000 - operate at a number
of fixed wavelengths, which are chosen according to the gases to be measured.
Within the analyser is an IR source which emits broadband IR radiation. An IR
detector detects the radiation which has passed through the sample gas. With a
single gas, it should be a straightforward matter to measure absorbance, identify
the gas and calculate concentration. In practice, however, there are usually
several gases. More than one gas may exhibit absorption at a given wavelength.
This effect is termed 'cross-sensitivity', and may be compensated for such that
accurate concentrations of individual gases may still be displayed.

IR theory applied to the PROCAL 2000

page 4-2 KITTIWAKE PROCAL LTD Issue 4


4 Technical description

In the PROCAL 2000, interference filters are placed in the path of the broadband
IR radiation. Two filters are used per component. One selects a measuring
wavelength, while the other selects a reference wavelength. The filters are
mounted on a rotating disc immediately in front of the IR source. This
arrangement gives rise to an IR beam alternating rapidly between measuring
wavelength and reference wavelength for each component. This alternating
beam passes through the gas to be measured, eventually striking the IR detector.

Filters have been selected such that if any of the gas to be measured is present,
then a significant amount of radiation will be absorbed at the measuring
wavelength, with very little or none at the reference wavelength.

The quantity of radiation per unit time is a function of two factors: (1) the
number of molecules within the optical path and (2) the extent to which these
molecules absorb radiation, expressed as the absorption coefficient.

Absorbance may be defined in the following expression:

A = E.C.l = -log10 (IM/IR) + OZ

where: A is the absorbance


E is the Extinction Coefficient
C is the gas concentration
l is the length of sample through which the beam has passed
IM is the IR signal strength at the measuring wavelength
IR is the IR signal strength at the reference frequency
OZ is the zero offset.

It will be seen that there is a logarithmic relationship between the concentration


and the ratio of the IR signal strengths at the measuring and reference
wavelengths.

It is these two signal strengths which are shown on the TEST screen under the
titles measured value and reference value.

During calibration of the analyser, the measured absorbance is recorded for


known sample gas concentrations over the range required for the specific
application. Results of this exercise are recorded within the system's memory in
the form of a look-up table. During live operation of the analyser, the system
calculates concentration levels from absorbance levels by continual reference to
this look-up table.

PROCAL 2000 Operating Manual

Cross-sensitivity

While IR absorption measurement is the optimum solution for many continuous


process gas analysis requirements, it is not perfect. Conventional IR analysers
can suffer from the problem of cross-sensitivity, caused when more than one
gaseous component absorbs radiation at a selected wavelength.

Water vapour is the most common component to cause cross-sensitivity,


followed by carbon dioxide. Water vapour exhibits absorption across a wide
part of the IR spectrum. Since most flue emissions contain high percentages of
water vapour, conventional cross-stack IR analysers often suffer from
inaccuracies caused by cross-sensitivity. When using extractive analysers, water
needs to be removed by condensation.

PROCAL 2000 analysers do not suffer appreciably from cross-sensitivity due to


water vapour, carbon dioxide or other 'problem' gases. PROCAL 2000 units
configured for applications where cross-sensitivity would normally be a problem
are equipped with additional measuring channels and the unique PROCxsens
(iterative) calculating software. NOX analysis provides a good example of how
these additions work. Normally, a 3-channel analyser would be used, analysing
NO, NO2 and the sum of these NOX gases. Measurement of NO is subject to
cross-sensitivity to water vapour. So, the PROCAL 2000 for NOX has two
additional undisplayed channels, measuring water vapour and carbon dioxide.
Once the absorbances of these two components at NO measuring wavelengths
are known, they can be compensated for, to arrive at a true figure for NO
concentration.

Gas filter correlation

Gas filter correlation spectroscopy is used in the PROCAL 2000 series of IR


analysers in order to enhance their sensitivity and reduce their cross-sensitivity
to interfering components. This technique is useful for gases at lower
concentrations and those that have a lot of fine structure in their IR spectrum.

The technique effectively increases the resolution of the interference filters used,
which typically have a bandwidth of 2% of their peak transmission wavelength.
In terms of spectroscopy, this is quite broad. Figure 4-3 shows the structured
spectrum of HCl with sharp, narrow bands which are too narrow to be well
matched to the interference filter. The absorption, which is sensed when a filter
on its own is used, is the average absorption rather than the much higher peak
absorption of the HCl gas.

One way of increasing the selectivity of gases when using interference filters is
to use sealed cells filled with the gas under study. Kittiwake Procal has
produced sealed cells filled with HCl, NO, Methane and CO, and is likely to add
other gases to this range. To show how these sealed cells work, refer to Figure
4-4. A matched pair of filters is used with both filters being as similar as
possible in their transmission and wavelength characteristics.

page 4-4 KITTIWAKE PROCAL LTD Issue 4


4 Technical description

If they were used individually, they would produce identical reference and
measurement pulses at the IR detector, and both would react to the presence of
the gas being measured. The example given is for hydrogen chloride, HCl.

However, if a gas cell filled with HCl is put in series with one of the filters, the
pulses become unbalanced and the pulse caused by the reference filter becomes
weaker. When HCl gas enters the sample tube of the PROCAL analyser, the
measurement pulse falls much more than the reference pulse. The reason for this
is that the reference pulse has been filtered by the sealed cell, so the sharp
narrow bands of wavelength at which HCl absorbs are absent. Therefore, further
absorption by the HCl is small. The measurement pulse, on the other hand,
reacts to HCl in the normal way. Therefore, the introduction of the sealed gas
cell has sensitised the pair of matched filters to HCl.

When interfering gases - such as water vapour - come into the sample cell, both
pulses reduce in almost the same proportion. This is because the water vapour
absorption is broadband and does not follow the same pattern as the HCl
absorption. It therefore causes absorption of both pulses. The method of signal
processing divides the intensity of the measurement pulse by the intensity of the
reference pulse before calculating the absorbance. Therefore, equal,
proportionate changes which occur to both pulses are cancelled out. This shows
that substantial immunity to water vapour and other interfering gases can be
achieved in this elegant fashion.

There are further advantages in the use of gas filter correlation, as opposed to the
conventional use of reference wavelengths. Since the measurement and reference
wavelengths are the same, and as they come from matched filters and only differ
by the filtering caused by the gas in the sealed cell, any effect due to temperature
change of the source also cancels out. When different wavelengths are used
there can still be some effect due to temperature fluctuations in the infra-red
source. The signal-noise ratio has been raised by the use of gas filter correlation,
permitting the measurement of smaller amounts of gas. Kittiwake Procal uses
gas filter correlation in combination with software, such as PROCxsens and
matrix algebra, which enable complete correction to cross-sensitivity to be
achieved, even eliminating the small cross-sensitivities that remain after gas
filter correlation cells are used. In practice, an improvement in the immunity to
water vapour of more than a order of magnitude is achieved. In the case of
measuring HCl - one of the most demanding analyses - the main improvement is
in the immunity to the interference effects of hydrocarbons.

Analyser Unit

The Analyser Unit is shown, with its cover removed, in Figure 4-5 below. All
the principal components are as notated on the illustration, and described in text.

Figure 4-5 PROCAL 2000 Analyser Unit with inner and outer cover removed

Within the AU is a broadband infra-red (IR) source, which is an enclosed


electrical filament consuming about 8 W and running at about 1100°C.
Radiation from the source passes through the filter wheel. This wheel is fitted
with up to 8 filters, and up to 3 gas cells. Drive of the filter wheel is by means of
a DC motor at a controlled speed of around 7.5 revolutions per second. On the
rim of the filter wheel are a series of slots. These slots pass through a light
source-detector assembly on either side of the wheel. The time is detected,
amplified on the filter wheel pcb, and passed to the AU processor. The AU
processor uses the timing pulses to match each reading with the filter in the
optical path at any moment.

Once the IR beam has passed through the filter, it passes through the head exit
lens and into a void that is purged with a non-absorbent gas. This void acts as a
spacer between the AU and the sample cell so that the latter can be inserted fully
into the duct, thus avoiding stratification of the gas which can occur near the
wall of the duct. The lens is normally made of calcium fluoride. For
measurement of longer wavelengths, a zinc selenide lens is used. Lens materials
are selected for their good IR transmission characteristics and their inert nature.

page 4-8 KITTIWAKE PROCAL LTD Issue 4


4 Technical description

When the IR beam has passed through the sample gas and been returned to the
AU, it is incident on the detector. This detector is a high-performance solid state
device working on the pyro-electric principle. Radiation striking the detector
causes minute temperature changes which are translated into electrical signals.
These signals are proportional to the level of irradiation, and are largely
independent of wavelength.

Within the AU is the intelligent head pcb. This has a number of functions. It
amplifies the signal from the IR detector, and passes this to the ACU. It supplies
and regulates DC power to all parts of the AU. Lastly, it amplifies and transmits
the temperature signals from the two temperature sensors in the sample cell and
the AU respectively.

Integral Auto Verification Unit

All PROCAL 2000 analysers is supplied with an Auto Verification Unit


mounted in the AU outer cover..

The integral Auto Verification Unit has two primary & three secondary
functions.

Primary Functions

1 It provides totally automatic zeroing of the system, and secondly it


acts as a safety purging system to prevent condensation forming in
the sample cell of the Analyser Unit.

In its Auto-zero function, a zero check is instigated on a periodic


basis by a command signal from the Procal 1000 (ACU or ACWn).
The control voltage switches a solenoid valve on the Auto
Verification Unit which diverts a regulated flow of instrument air in
to the Analyser Unit In-Situ Cell.

After a predetermined stabilisation period, the Procal 1000 will read


the zero gas signal and, if necessary, adjust the zero offsets on every
channel until a true zero is obtained. Once zeroed in this manner, a
further signal from the Procal 1000 will shut off the supply of
instrument air, and natural purging action will quickly refill the
sample cell with process gas. The unit will go back to on-line
process measurements.

During this Auto-zero procedure, all displays and outputs are frozen
at the last 'on line' levels before commencement of the Auto-zero
routine. This includes the time required for the sample cell to purge

page 4-10 KITTIWAKE PROCAL LTD Issue 4


4 Technical description

clear of instrument air at the end of the Auto-zero cycle. The


frequency and duration of the flush times in the Auto-zero routine can
be altered as described in the Operation section of the ACU
Operating Manual.

2 In the event of a power failure to the system, the In-Situ Heater element (when
fitted) and the sample cell will cool, possibly to below the dewpoint.
Condensation could then occur on the process side of the sample lens. The de-
energised solenoid valve on the Auto Verification Unit opens and floods the
sample cell with dry instrument air, thus removing the possibility of
condensation. The unit will continue to purge the cell until the fault condition is
rectified.

The Auto Verification system hardware is a single panel of components mounted


inside the outer AU Cover. The software to operate the system is fully pre-
programmed into the Procal 1000 and the AU.

Secondary Functions

1 Optionally if the system is set up for Auto Calibration the Auto Verification
Unit can switch on 1 of 2 Calibration Gas lines in the required sequence under
control of the Procal 1000 to facilitate Span Calibration or verification.

2 To eliminate the ingress of moisture or absorbing gases into the VOID a


continuous low purge is applied utilising an restrictor mounted on the Auto
Verification Unit. The analyser is supplied with the AU purge piped.

Note No action is required during installation

3 To eliminate the ingress of moisture or absorbing gases into the analyser


optical housing a continuous low purge is applied utilising an restrictor
mounted on the Auto Verification Unit. The analyser is supplied with the
purge piped.

Note No action is required during installation

This unit will, on automatic command from the Procal 1000, divert a flow of instrument
air to the Procal 2000 analyser. This will occur under either condition below;

1 when an auto-zero is required

5 Maintenance

Introduction

The PROCAL 2000 is a high-technology analytical tool. Like other specialised


industrial equipment, it needs regular maintenance if it is to operate at peak
performance.

It is strongly recommended that if a PROCAL 2000 system is purchased, a


service contract is taken out. This will cover regular cleaning, calibration and
routine preventative maintenance. A service contract will assure priority
response to emergency call-outs. Please contact Kittiwake Procal or Procal
distributors for further information about service contracts.

Caution
While the instrument is accurately aligned and calibrated as part of the
standard production procedure, it is possible that components may
become misaligned due to prolonged vibration in operation. If
misalignment is suspected, the user should not attempt to re-align the
instrument. Incorrect realignment will invalidate the calibration. Call
Kittiwake Procal or your Procal distributor.

Routine maintenance schedule

If the user does not have a service contract and decides to undertake routine
preventative maintenance in-house, the following schedules should be strictly
followed.

Please note that if the system is not properly maintained, the manufacturer's
guarantee may be voided or limited.

Calibration may be required more frequently by the local pollution inspectorate


or other regulatory authority.

Quarterly (three-monthly) schedule


visual inspection of Analyser Unit for cracks, corrosion or any other signs of
physical damage

access the TEST screen on the Control Unit, and check all operational data
displayed

keep a record of the signal readings so that any deterioration due to lens
clouding or electrical faults can be quickly identified.

visual inspection of all cables and gas connections for integrity, and for cracks,
corrosion or any other signs of physical damage.

Issue 4 KITTIWAKE PROCAL LTD page 5-1


PROCAL 2000 Operating Manual

calibration (see under the heading Field calibration check within this section);
note that calibration may
need to be performed more frequently if required by regulatory authorities
Annual schedule
 internal visual inspection of Analyser Unit for signs of ingress of dust, moisture
or process fluids and/or gases

 check that the source is emitting and that its lens is clean

 check all mirrors, lenses and optical filters for cleanliness

 check the filter wheel motor (when unplugged) for ease of rotation, and replace
the motor if any friction is apparent

 visual inspection of all cables and gas connections for integrity, and for cracks,
corrosion or any other signs of physical damage.

 Pt100 platinum resistance thermometer resistance check. The resistance should


be 100 + (38/100) x temperature.

If the results of any of the above checks cause you any concern, contact
Kittiwake Procal, or your Procal distributor or agent, immediately.

Cleaning

Please do not attempt to clean any of the optical surfaces within the instrument.
Contact Kittiwake Procal, or your Procal distributor or agent, for a cleaning
service. If you attempt to clean optical surfaces and cause damage, the warranty
on the PROCAL 2000 system may be voided or limited.

5 Maintenance

Field calibration check

Introduction
The gases used in the original factory calibration are of known accuracy and the
calibration achieved using them should not be discarded lightly.

Each test can be carried out individually or as part of a comprehensive field


calibration check.

Note that the Routine maintenance schedule within this section calls for an
annual Field Calibration Check.

Calibration Equipment
The calibration gases must be in cylinders that can be located close to the AU.
Each cylinder must be fitted with a regulator. It is very important that each
cylinder has a supplier certificate of calibration, since experience has shown that
large variations in actual concentration can be encountered.

It is important that the person carrying out the calibration should be aware that
he/she is dealing with toxic gases and carries out all safety procedures associated
with the handling of high-pressure gas cylinders.

Other equipment required for the tests:

 pressure gauge with 1/8 BSP taper male fitting (Pipe thread EN 10226 R1/8);
scaled 1 barG FSD

 if water concentration is to be checked: Procal 9000 Field Calibrator


(Procal Part number 1-2775 or 1-2764)

Void pressure Test


You will require:
o A pressure gauge (0 – 3barg) connected to a 150mm length
of 6mm flexible pipe.
o A Ball valve connected to a 150mm length of 6mm flexible
pipe

1 Turn the air supply to the AU

2 Remove the AU outer Cover

3 Unscrew the sintered muffler fitted at the Void purge outlet. Screw to the Void
purge outlet the pressure gauge with the 1/8 BSP taper male fitting, sealed with
PTFE tape.

4 Identify the void air feed connection on the auto verification unit and disconnect.
Ensuring the restrictor is still connected to the auto verification unit. Insert the ball
valve between the auto verification unit void air feed and the void pipe ensuring the
ball valve is in the off position.

5 Switch on the air supply to the AU

6 Open the ball valve until the gauge reads approximately 1 bar, and then turn the ball
valve to the off position.

Issue 4 KITTIWAKE PROCAL LTD page 5-3


PROCAL 2000 Operating Manual

7 After 10 minutes check that the gauge reading has dropped by less than 5%.
If the drop has been greater than this, check that the pressure gauge fitting is
not leaking and then repeat the test. If the test fails again it is likely that the
sealing of the centre lens is defective. In this case, the analyser will have to
be dismantled and the centre lens re-sealed.

8 Switch off the air supply to the AU

9 Remove the gauge from the Void Purge port and refit the sintered muffler.
Remove the ball valve and reconnect the void purge pipe.

10 Ensure all connections disturbed during the test are correctly fitted.

11 Switch on the air supply to the AU

Sintered Panel Flow Test

Observe the stack pressure under normal operation and note the reading (this is
found on the TEST SCREEN in the Analogue and derived Channels Table and
is labelled as P SAMPLE). From the AUTOZERO drop down menu select
MANUAL AIR PURGE, wait for the pressure to stabilize and then note the
reading. If the increase in pressure is greater than 50mbar (0.72 psi), the sintered
panel is partially blocked.

Gas Calibration

(For US EPA instruments see Appendix F)


In order to carry out the Gas calibration check of the analyser the testing
engineer must be at ENGINEER access level. Details of switching between
Access Levels can be found in the operator manual. It should be noted that NO
CHANGES should be carried out for calibration without the approval of the
customer based on QAL 3 results.

1) On the Test Screen of ACWn select START AUTOZERO NOW from the
AUTOZERO drop down menu, and allow the analyser to go through the whole
cycle, noting pressure, abs and concs readings. Upon completion of Auto-zero,
select MANUAL AIR PURGE from the same drop down menu, wait for the
readings to stabilise and then record the results. Readings should be as close to
zero as possible, to provide a baseline for calibration.

Figure 5-1: Selection of Auto Zero and Manual Air

2) Connect the outlet of the gas cylinder via the necessary fittings and regulator to
the AVU CAL port to be used located on the underside of the AU outer cover
(Usually Port 4 – CAL gas 1). From the AUTOZERO menu (fig.1) select MAN
CAL GAS 1, open gas regulator and set pressure to approx 1.9barG/27psiG.

page 5-4 KITTIWAKE PROCAL LTD Issue 4


5 Maintenance

3) To ensure that all water vapour and auto-zeroing gas has been driven out of the
sample cell wait for at least three minutes before taking any readings. Observe the
TEST screen and note the reading for water vapour, which should have reduced to
a level of less than 2% of the abs reading during normal operation (e.g. if abs
during normal operation is 100, reading should be <= 2). If it is higher, slightly
increase the gas flow.

4) After allowing enough time for the calibration gas in question to stabilise (around
3 minutes) record the readings. If the displayed concentration reading is within
±2% of actual bottle value no calibration is necessary and the user can go to Step
6.

5) If the display shows a calibration reading that is >±2% of the gas bottle,
recalibration is required using steps 7 to 9.

6) Turn off the gas regulator and gas bottle and allow regulator to drop to 0, then
select MANUAL AIR PURGE from the AUTOZERO menu (fig.1). Repeat steps 2
to 5 AFTER readings on TEST screen have stabilised around 0.

7) On the TEST screen go to MANUAL CALIBRATION on the main menu and


select CALIBRATE COMPONENTS from the drop down menu. If the manual
calibration choice is greyed out it is because operator access level is selected.
Change to Engineer level, and continue.

Figure 5-2: Selection of Manual Calibration

8) After selecting CALIBRATE COMPONENTS the window shown in figure 3 will


open. To calibrate the gas in question select it from the drop-down text box, enter
into the EXPECTED VALUE box the ACTUAL Gas Bottle concentration, and
then click the ADJUST BUTTON.

Figure 5-3: Adjusting the Calibration of the selected Gas

9) The software automatically recalculates the coefficients for the given gas so that
returning to the TEST screen should give the correct reading. An indication in the
information window will display a successful calibration. To return to the TEST
screen simply select the EXIT button shown in figure 3. Figure 4 shows the
selection of Hydrogen Chloride from the drop down menu, and a successful
calibration.

Issue 4 KITTIWAKE PROCAL LTD page 5-5


PROCAL 2000 Operating Manual

Figure 5-4: Choices in drop down menu

10) When all necessary channels have been calibrated disconnect the cylinder from
CAL Gas port, and select MAN AIR PURGE from AUTOZERO menu (fig.1).
After taking zero readings select MANUAL AIR PURGE again from
AUTOZERO menu to turn off air (MANUAL AIR PURGE should NOT have a
tick next to it). This returns the analyser to the normal process operation.

Water Vapour Calibration Check

A water vapour calibration should only be performed in the field if there is good
reason to doubt the readings obtained. This is because laboratory conditions
CANNOT be repeated in the field. A calibration carried out in the field IS NOT as
accurate as one done in the factory.

To carry out the calibration a KITTIWAKE PROCAL 9000 Field Calibrator is


required.

1) Connect the KITTIWAKE Procal 9000 Field Calibrator as described in the


calibrator handbook.

2) Using the ACU options menu, or ACWn Main screen selection turn off the Auto
Zero function

3) Set the Calibrator to give a level of 80% of the FULL RANGE water vapour.

4) Monitor the H2O readings and wait for them to settle (approx 5-10 minutes)

5) If the displayed concentration reading is within ±5% of the set concentration, no


recalibration is necessary.

6) If the displayed concentration reading shows a deviation of >±5% from the set
water vapour concentration recalibration should be carried out by following steps
7 to 10.

7) If operating with ACU use the SERVICE menu (described earlier in the manual)
to select Calibration option, if using ACWn, select MANUAL CALIBRATION
from the TEST SCREEN menu, and then CALIBRATE COMPONENTS (fig.2)

8) The analyser will average the water vapour reading for 1 minute and then display
it as shown in the calibration graph. If the set concentration figure is significantly
different from the previously observed average, then it is likely that one of the
surges occurred during the 1 minute averaging time. In this case, repeat steps 3 to
8 of this procedure.

5 Maintenance

9) On the ACU adjust the required concentration to read the same as the value set on
the calibrator, with ACWn check the Measured value against the Expected value

10) On ACU select calibrate option and apply, on ACWn click the Adjust button. The
analyser will immediately recalculate the calibration table values for water vapour
so that on return to the TEST screens the correct value should be displayed

11) Disconnect the KITTIWAKE PROCAL 9000 Field Calibrator and replace the
“Hot Access” blanking plug

12) Using ACU turn on the Auto Zero via the options selection, with ACWn turn on
Auto Zero via AutoZero selection (fig.1)

Fault-finding

Presented below is a list of faults which Kittiwake Procal considers can be


diagnosed and rectified by some users.

WARNING
You must not attempt to FAULT-FIND OR REPAIR this system unless
you are qualified, competent and authorized to work on electrical
equipment operating at your local mains electrical supply voltage.

MAIN screen shows variable readings


1 Check whether the TEST screen shows rapid changes in concentration,
inconsistent with expected levels.

2 If the TEST screen shows low readings, check for condensation on, or
contamination of lenses and mirrors.

3 The quality of the IR signal may be poor. Check with an oscilloscope that the
waveform shown in Figure 5-2 (a) appears at TP1 on the OHU pcb (with ground
connection to E). It is important that the observed waveform is as smooth as in
Figure 5-2.

4 Connect the second channel of a dual-beam oscilloscope to the AU terminal


LK21 (top). With the oscilloscope trace mode set to 'CHOP', check that the
'phasing' of the wheel pulses shown in Figure 5-2 (b) is such that they coincide
with the peaks and troughs in the IR signal. If they do not, please contact Procal
as your system may need recalibration. DO NOT UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES ATTEMPT ANY ADJUSTMENT OF YOUR AU.

Changing PROCAL 2000 components

Certain components can be changed by the user within the PROCAL 2000
system, when necessary.

Changing the integral IR source filament


This procedure will be necessary if the filament has become open circuit. This
will be indicated by the alarm message on the P1000 series controller screen and
will be confirmed by very low signal levels on the TEST screen.

The IR source has a replaceable filament, part number 1-2716J, that is the only
part which needs replacing. Provided the protective air purge is maintained
through the analyser during the time that it is switched off, it is possible to
change an IR source filament without withdrawing the AU from the process
duct.

Feeding cables into the IOU


There is a gland plate provided in the IOU casing. Remove the plate and prepare
suitable glands for the Power Supply (mains or line) Cable (Cable 1), and for
each of the Serial Connection Cables (Cables 6 or 13). Other suitable glands
should be provided for the other Input/Output Cables (Cables 3 and 4)

When the IOU is wall mounted, cable glands are recommended to be on the
underside of the unit.

Connecting the system to the supply


The IOU has been designed to operate on either of two power supplies:

 110 V ac nominal (low limit 90 V, high limit 132 V), 47-63 Hz.

 230 V ac nominal (low limit 180 V, high limit 264 V), 47-63 Hz.

No user adjustment is necessary as the IOU automatically detects the input


voltage. The procedure to connect the system to the mains supply is:

1 Ensure that all wiring between the IOU, AUs, Control Unit and ancillary
equipment is correct. To connect the above power supply the Terminal Block
Cover will need to be removed, ensure this is replaced before continuing to
power the unit.

2 Connect the free end of the mains cable to a suitable ac supply. Follow local
regulations for permanently installed equipment. It is recommended as good
practice that a means of disconnection is provided within 2 meters and an RCD
or ELB is also fitted.

The installation is now complete and the system is ready for operation.

Not suitable for mains switching nor signal switching.

Operation

NOTE: If the IOU is powered without communications from the Control


Software then all relays will be in their alarm state and all current transmitters
will output 2mA. A timeout is provided after communications is established to
ensure the above occurs only in the case of a communications fault.

The Output Modules have an LED on the module which is illuminated in an


Error condition. This error is the result of the Module being unable to create any
current output. This will be normally be because the output for this module is
open circuit. Hence these LEDs can be used to check the system wiring. Note
this requires operating the IOU with the cover removed. This should only be
done by a qualified service engineer and the earlier warning as to operation on
Mains Voltage applies.

CPU Board 2-1117 has LEDs which indicate power on and program running.

LED1 – ON – 5V power applied.

LED4 – Pulsing once per second indicated program running.

LED2 and LED3 are blank, used by Procal in programming the board.

Appendix D - In-Situ Heater

Introduction

Some PROCAL 2000 systems are supplied with an optional In-Situ Heater
(ISH). This Appendix describes this option, and details how to install it.

In-Situ Heater description

An optional In-Situ Heater (ISH) may be fitted around the sample cell, and is
recommended for applications involving flue gases at temperatures below
120°C, or on applications with high acid dew point or where monitoring is
required when process is off. The ISH contains an electrical heater, which has
the effect of keeping the temperature of the sample cell well above the dew
point, thus preventing condensation onto any optics in contact with the process
gas.

Regulation of the ISH is from the PROCAL 2000 and is automatic.

The additional power requirement for the In-Situ Heater is 1 kW.

Fitting the In-Situ Heater

WARNING
DO NOT CONNECT ANY MAINS CABLE (LINE CORD) TO THE
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS WITHIN THE ISH
HAVE BEEN MADE AND THE UNITS ARE SECURELY CLOSED ONCE

WARNING
PHYSICALLY DISCONNECT THE MAINS VOLTAGE SUPPLY BEFORE
FITTING THE IN-SITU HEATER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS
WARNING COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY FROM
ELECTRIC SHOCK.

During installation of the In-Situ Heater, you may need to refer to the relevant
installation drawing in the Order-specific information section of this manual,
particularly if you will be making up your own interconnecting cables.

1 Fit the supplied circular gasket to the four M16 bolts on the vertical flange
already fitted to the process gas duct.

2 Offer up the ISH to the vertical flange. Introduce the heater gently into the duct
and fit the ISH flange onto the four M16 bolts.

3 If the AU is not to be fitted immediately, fit nuts to the four bolts, and finger-
tighten to retain the ISH safely.

4 Once the In-Situ Heater has been fitted, you may go on to fit the Analyser Unit.

Fault on the ISH


When an ISH is fitted, the TEST screen will display the heater power level. This
should start at 100% when the analyser is cold, and then reduce to a lower
percentage as the analyser warms up and reaches its setpoint.

If the set point shown on the Procal 1000 TEST screen is consistently below
120oC, then it is likely that the ISH is not working properly. Take the following
actions:

1. Check set point of ISH in S/W is correct

2. Measure the voltage between TB1-13B and TB1-15B on the AU junction box.
This should show a steady or pulsing 24 V dc.

2 Check that all the connections between the AU and the Control Unit are properly
made.

3 Confirm that a steady or slowly switching mains voltage appears between the
L and N terminals in the ISH mains connection box.

Appendix F - Procal analysers for US EPA compliance

Introduction

To satisfy the environmental regulations in the USA and some other countries, it is
necessary to both check and demonstrate that the analyser is within its quoted
calibration accuracy. This requires that the Autozero facility should be augmented
by an automatic check of the span calibration of the analyser.

Once a day the analyser zero and span accuracy is to be checked and recorded.
This record is maintained on a rolling 7-day basis, and the record for the previous
seven days should be available for viewing and printing at any time on demand.
This appendix describes the implementation of US EPA 40 CFR Part 75 in the
Procal 2000. It must be read in conjunction with the main technical manual.

Services

The following services are required for this option:

ZERO GAS Clean, dry instrument air at a continuous 0.5 litre/min for the
analyser void purge and 5 litres/min for 4 minutes. The zero
gas solenoid is energised-closed so that in the event of a power
failure the analyser sample cell is filled with zero gas, thus
preventing damage due to acidic condensation of the sample
gas in the sample cell.

SPAN GAS This should be a gas mixture containing all the gases for which
verification is required. The concentration of each gas should
be between 80% and 100% of the full-scale sensitivity of its
measured channel. Consumption is 5 litres/min for 4 minutes
every 24 hours. NO, CO, SO2 etc. should be mixed with N2.
NO2 should be mixed with pure air. The span gas
concentration (from the certificate) must be entered at the
menu item ‘Calibration verification’ on the Control Unit each
time a new gas bottle is installed. For US EPA compliance
purposes it should be EPA Protocol 1, calibration gas, vendor
certificated.

PROCAL 2000 Operating Manual

Operation

Manual operation of Auto-Zero is carried out using the following steps;

1) If not already on the TEST screen select the EYE symbol to navigate there.

2) Select AUTOZERO from the menu, this will give a drop down menu giving the
serial number of the Analyser head ACWn is looking at. Ensure the serial
number is for the head requiring the Auto-Zero.

3) Select START AUTOZERO NOW from the drop down menu.

The above steps assume that MANUAL AIR PURGE is NOT on. An Auto-Zero
cannot be carried out with manual air on, so this should be turned off before
hand. This is done by following the above steps but selecting MANUAL AIR
PURGE instead of Start AutoZero Now.

An automatic Auto-Zero is done on a settable time interval – usually every


12hours, the set up for which is done on the MAIN SCREEN. This is also the
place where the Auto-Zero function can be turned ON or OFF, the procedure for
this is detailed in the ACWN Control Manual.

During the first Auto-Zero cycle after midnight a calibration routine is included
in the operation, this data will be recorded once per day over a 7-day period.
This data can be inspected and printed as described in Viewing the results.

During calibration phase the introduction of the gases causes the pressure in the
cell to increase slightly. To allow for both variations in the process pressure and
in the pressure during auto calibration, a transducer in the analyser is used to
provide continuous pressure compensation. In addition, to ensure that
calibration gas is present, the calibration gas cylinder pressure is sensed by a
pressure switch (set to operate at 100psi) integral with its regulator. An alarm is
set up within ACWn that can be set to trigger if the gas pressure is low.

A further function is for the remote start of an Autozero cycle, which overrides
the internal automatic timer. This facility is activated by shorting 2 inputs on the
Analyser Unit with the volt-free contact.

Appendix F

Figure 2 shows a table giving the phases of the calibration cycle including Auto-Zero,
their default timings and the states of the gas solenoids during the automatic calibration.
Note that the Zero gas solenoid valve is energized-closed so that in the event of a power
failure the valve opens, flooding the sample cell with dry air and excluding low
temperature sample gas that could cause acidic condensation and hence corrosion.

Action on calibration error

If a calibration error occurs, the action required depends on the scale of the
error:

 If the error is less than 2.5% of full scale, no action is required as the calibration
is within specification

 for a change in calibration of between 2.5% and 5% of full scale, the analyser
calibration is automatically adjusted to give the correct reading and the calibration
is OK

 if an error is greater than 5% error or if the gas cylinder pressure falls below 100
psi, the analyser is considered to be out of calibration; no re-calibration action is
taken and the readings on the MAIN screen are shown thus:

(235) PPM Total NOx

Appendix G - Hot Access Port

Introduction

The Hot Access Port has been added to the reflector tube on the PROCAL 2000
analyser (See Figure G2 for location) to enable water vapour injection while
minimising condensation in the analyser probe. This will hence enable water
vapour based re-calibration on site from a suitably accurate water vapour
generator. The Procal 9000 Field Calibrator, including Water Vapour control is
available, see Procal Data Sheet 7-3057 for details.

Additionally this port can be used as a sample extraction port without


disconnection of any other gas lines on the instrument.

Warning
AS THIS PORT IS CONNECTED TO THE INSTRUMENT MEASURING
CELL IT MUST BE CLOSED GAS TIGHT TO AVOID LEAKAGE OUT OR IN
WHEN NOT IN USE. A LEAK WILL INVALIDATE BOTH THE AUTO
ZERO / AUTOCAL RESULT AND CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENT
RESULTS.

This port is on the main stack flange; an optional insulation jacket is available, to
raise the port’s temperature whilst allowing access. See Figure G1 – Insulation
Jacket for details.

Operation

For most installations the use of the hot access port for water vapour injection
will require the fitting of an insulated jacket (Procal Part No 4-5455) around the
port to reduce the risk of condensation. See Fig G1 for fitting details. When the
jacket is fitted the system temperature should be allowed to stabilise before
continuing with any measurements. This may take up to 30 minutes. The jacket
allows for connection or disconnection without removal of the insulation as
shown on Fig.G1.

Before using the Hot Access Port for calibration first carry out an AutoZero with
the Hot Access Port closed off.

Carefully remove the plug with a 5mm Allen Key (Procal part 6-9901-87) and
place in a secure location for re-installing later. See Figure G1 – Insulation
Jacket and Figure G2 – Reflector Tube for details. Note that gases from the
process may escape from this port when it is open. Suitable precautions must be
taken, ie avoid breathing the hot escaping gas.

When applying water vapour a heated line or a purpose designed close coupled
evaporator should be used, and any exposed pipe or fittings containing hot
vapour should be insulated. See Figure G3 – Water Vapour Line Fitting
PROCAL 2000. On completion of tests remove the connecting line and replace it
with the hot access port plug, a 1/8 BSP taper plug, Procal part 6-6060-20 using
PTFE tape (Procal part 9-2900-01) to seal the thread. Ensure this is tightened to
form a gas tight seal.

Appendix H – By Pass

Introduction

Some PROCAL 2000 systems are supplied with an optional By-Pass Assembly

For the follwing applications

 Where the process temperature is > 350°C and < 800°C (> 660°F and
< 1112°F)

 For small diameter Stacks / Ducts < 900mm ( < 3 ft )

This Appendix describes this option, and details how to install it.

By-Pass description

The optional By-Pass assembly is used in high temperature


applications or where the stack or duct size does not allow the
analyser to be fully inserted. The assembly requires two flanges
to be wielded to the stack or duct. The spacing, specification and
orientation of the flanges is critical, refer to the appropriate By-
Pass drawing. In some applications with a high flow rate an
orifice plate may have to be fitted between one of the stack
mounting flanges and the By-Pass assembly.

The By-Pass assembly also includes a heater assembly to


maintain the Analyser In-Situ sample cell at the control
temperature. The electrical heater, which has the effect of
keeping the temperature of the sample cell well above the dew
point, thus preventing condensation onto any optics in contact
with the process gas.

Control of the Heater is from the PROCAL 2000 and is


automatic.

The additional power requirement for the In-Situ Heater is 1


kW.

The assembly also includes a sample scoop which can be fitted


to either branch of the by pass. A proportion of the stack /
process gas is diverted through the By-Pass and passed the
Procal 2000 In-Situ Cell enabling the gas concentrations to be
monitored. The stack gas is driven through the By-Pass by both
the action of the scoop and a “Chimney” effect caused by the
dissimilar gas temperature in the stack and By-Pass. It is
therefore recommended that when the stack temperature is
higher than the By-Pass Heater set point the scoop is mounted
on the upper By-Pass branch and when the stack temperature is lower than the
By-Pass temperature the scoop is mounted on the lower branch.

Fault on the HEATER


When an HEATER is fitted, the TEST screen will display the heater power
level. This should start at 100% when the analyser is cold, and then reduce to a
lower percentage as the analyser warms up and reaches its setpoint.

If the sample temperature shown on the Procal 1000 TEST screen is consistently
below 120oC, then it is likely that the HEATER is not working properly. Take
the following actions:

Issue 4 KITTIWAKE PROCAL LTD page H-5


PROCAL 2000 Operating Manual

1 Measure the voltage between TB1-13B and TB1-15B on the AU junction box.
