Section 1
802 Overview
The Galvanic Applied Sciences Inc. 802 Lead Acetate Tape analyzer (henceforth referred to as the
802) is an analyzer that has been designed to measure relatively low levels of hydrogen sulphide or
total sulphur in natural gas streams. The 802 is capable of measuring up to 2000 parts per million
(ppm) of hydrogen sulphide by volume without the requirement of sample dilution. With a new patentpending analysis algorithm, the 802 has a larger dynamic range and better linearity and repeatability
than previous models of lead acetate tape analyzers.
1.1
Principle of Operation
When hydrogen sulphide, H2S, reacts with lead acetate, the previously white lead acetate begins
to turn brown due to a chemical reaction. The reaction is as follows:
Pb(CH3COO)2 + H2S PbS + 2 CH3COOH
The colour change is caused by the conversion of lead acetate into lead sulphide. When a paper
tape that has been impregnated with lead acetate is exposed to hydrogen sulphide, brown stains
are seen on the tape. The rate of colour change on the tape is directly proportional to the
concentration of hydrogen sulphide in the gas stream. Thus, if the rate of colour change is
measured, the concentration of hydrogen sulphide in the gas stream can be determined. The
ASTM Method used by the 802 is D 4084-82 Analysis of Hydrogen Sulphide in Gaseous Fuels
(Lead Acetate Reaction Rate Method). For more information on how the analysis is carried out,
see sections 4.2 and 4.3.
1.2
802 Components in Brief
The 802 consists of 3 major components the electronics enclosure, the chassis, and the keypad.
The total sulphur version of the 802 has an additional component - the total sulphur furnace.
Many 802s are also equipped with an external sample conditioning system. A schematic of the
802 system is shown in Figure 1-1.

All of the components in the 802 are described briefly here, and in depth in Section 3.
1.2.1 Electronics Enclosure

The electronics enclosure contains the 802s LCD display screen that shows the user at a
glance the current concentration reading in a large font, as well as other information pertinent
to the analyzers operation. It also contains all of the analyzers inputs and outputs, as well as
the communication ports used to connect the 802 to a PC. The electronics enclosure is
described in detail in Section 3.1.
1.2.2 Chassis
The chassis is the black aluminium box that occupies the top half of the 802. It contains the
motor used to advance the tape, the optics block (detector), the lead acetate tape, the pulse
counter used to accurately advance the tape, the flow meter, and the sample humidifier
(bubbler). The chassis is described in detail in section 3.2.
1.2.3 Keypad
The keypad is attached to the chassis. This intrinsically safe keypad allows the user to review
the configuration of the 802 through the display screen, as well as to make any changes to the
parameters that can be changed through the keypad. Because the keypad is intrinsically safe,
it is able to be used even in classified areas. The keypad is described in detail in section 3.3.
1.2.4 Total Sulphur furnace

The total sulphur furnace enclosure, located below the electronics enclosure, contains the
heating element and reaction furnace used in total sulphur measuring 802s. The furnace is
used to convert all sulphur compounds in the sample gas into hydrogen sulphide by reaction
with hydrogen at a high temperature. The total sulphur furnace is described in detail in section
3.4.
1.2.5 Sample Conditioning System

The sample conditioning system is used to clean the sample gas and to reduce it to the
correct operating pressure for the 802. As such, it usually consists of one or more filters to
remove particulates and liquids from the sample gas, a regulator to control the sample
pressure at the correct value, and a sample sweep. It also may contain a manual 3-way valve
to allow selection of calibration or sample gas, a solenoid for auto-calibration purposes, and a
hydrogen regulator for total sulphur 802s.
1.3
Graphical User Interface
The Graphical User Interface (GUI) that is included on the 802 configuration disk that is shipped
with the analyzer allows the user to configure and monitor the 802 from a PC. The GUI allows the
user to change many more parameters than are accessible from the keypad. As well, it allows the
user to download, review, and export archived data. Further, it allows the user to configure and
calibrate both analog outputs, the four digital inputs, and all eight outputs, both relays and
solenoids. Finally, it allows the user to monitor the status of the entire analyzer from one screen,
something that is not possible on the 802s LCD screen. The GUI is described in detail in Section
5.

Section 2 Installation and Procedures

This section outlines some installation considerations for the 802 and basic procedures used for
various tasks related to the operation of the 802.
2.1
Installation Considerations
The 802 should be mounted in a location where it is not exposed to excessive vibration. In
addition, it should be mounted in a location where the ambient pressure remains relatively
consistent over the course of any given day, and where the ambient temperature does not
fluctuate wildly from day to night and winter to summer.
The vent line cannot have any backpressure on it, as backpressure can seriously impact readings.
The vent line should have no vertical bends, and should be as short as possible to allow the
unrestricted flow of sample out to the vent.
Allow approximately 15 on the left hand side of panel-mounted 802s to allow the removal of the
tape cover on the side of the chassis, and to allow easy access for tape installation and removal.
Allow 6 on the left side of cabinet-mounted 802s for the installation of a vent line.
The seals on Class 1 Division 1 802s are not poured at the factory. Before starting use of the 802
in a classified area, the seals must be poured. All explosion proof covers (motor box, electronics
enclosure, 110VAC to 24VDC power supply, and total sulphur furnace enclosure) must be closed
and sealed before powering up the analyzer in a classified area.
For total sulphur 802s, the furnace enclosure contains packing material inside that is used to
prevent damage to the system during shipping. Remove this packing material before powering up
the furnace.
Connect the correct power source. If the 802 has no AC to DC power supply, connect a 24VDC
power supply as shown in the leftmost image in Figure 2-1. If the 802 is a Division 2 AC-powered
unit, connect the AC power source to the AC to DC power supply as shown in the centre image in
Figure 2-1. If the 802 is a Division 1 AC-powered unit, connect the AC power source to the AC to
DC power supply unit as shown in the rightmost image in Figure 2-1. The power terminal block on
the division 1 terminal block is on the left when looking up from underneath the 802. The terminal
block with the red and black wires is the 24VDC output block. Do not turn the power on yet.
Figure 2-1: 802 Power Supply Connections (From left, 24VDC Div. 2, AC Div. 2, AC Div. 1)
Using the wiring diagrams in Section 7, connect the analog outputs as desired. Remember that
the analog outputs on the 802 require loop power, as the 802 does not provide power to them.
Connect any other digital inputs, solenoids, or relay connections as desired.
The dimensions of the 802, as well as the full wiring diagrams for both Class 1 Division 1 and
Class 1 Division 2 are shown in Section 7.

Basic Start-up Procedure
The following is a list of steps involved in starting up the 802.

1. Connect the keypad to the connector on the right side of the chassis (below the motor box
on division 1 units). See Figure 2-2 for the connector location on a division 2 802. The
Keypad connector is in the same place on a division 1 802.
Figure 2-2: Keypad Connector Location

2. Unpack the humidifier and remove the plug from the top of the humidifier.
humidifier to the line on the front of the humidifier with the 5% Acetic Acid
included in the 802 crate. Once filled, replace the plug and place the humidifier
802 chassis, behind the lower door. Connect the two Tygon sample lines to
barbed connectors on the top of the humidifier.
Fill the
solution
into the
the two
3. Remove the tape cover on the left side of the 802 chassis. Install the tape as outlined in
section 2.3.
4. Connect sample gas to the 802. If the 802 is equipped with a sample system, set the
pressure regulator to 15psig. If not, ensure that the sample gas is clean and is regulated
to a pressure of 15psig before connecting it to the 802. If the 802 is a total sulphur model,
set the sample flow meter to a flow of 0.5 and the hydrogen flow meter to a flow of 1.5.
Test the furnace for leaks by following the procedure in section 2.6.2.
5. Power up the 802. Wait for the 802s LCD screen to display 0.00ppm. Using the keypad,
enter the correct length of the reel of tape installed (section 3.3.1) 300 foot reels of tape
are included in the crate with the 802.
6. If the 802 is a total sulphur unit, connect to the unit with the GUI (section 5.1) and ensure
that the Furnace Pulse Width in the Global screen (section 5.3.4.1) is set to the correct
value for the AC Voltage being used (50% for 110VAC, 12.5% for 220VAC). WARNING:
Failure to ensure that the furnace pulse width is set to the correct value could result in
failure of the furnace element or melting of the quartz reaction tube.
Revision 1.2

7. Follow the leak test procedure in section 2.4 to ensure that the tape is well sealed against
the sample chamber by the compression head.
8. Allow the 802 to run on sample gas for approximately 1 hour. After 1 hour, inspect the
stains on the tape and compare them to those in Figure 2-3. If the stains are crisp and
well spaced, the compression head is sealing the tape well against the sample chamber. If
the stains have fuzzy edges, check the seal again as in step 7, and also check to ensure
that the tape is flat against the sample chamber (i.e. not creased) and is correctly
installed.
Figure 2-3: Stain Appearance

9. Once the correct seal has been established, connect a calibration gas of known
concentration to the calibration port and perform a manual reference run (section 2.5.1). If
the reading on the 802s LCD screen is within 2% of the certificate value for the
calibration gas, the 802 is within calibration and can be immediately entered into service.
10. If the 802 is not calibrated correctly, enter the calibration cylinder certificate concentration
into the MNT (Maintenance) menu using the keypad. Initiate a manual calibration run by
following the procedure in section 2.5.2.
11. Once the 802 is calibrated, it is ready to start analyzing sample gas.
2.3
Installation of Tape
The correct operation of the 802 is dependent on the correct installation of the lead acetate tape.
Follow this procedure exactly to ensure correct installation. Figure 2-4 shows a photo of the tape
enclosure with all components numbered these numbers will be referenced in the procedure.
The system MUST be in BYPASS mode prior to starting this procedure for replacement of tapes.
1. Remove the screw-on disks (not shown) from the supply reel (1) and take-up reel (2).
2. Take a new reel of tape and remove the adhesive tape securing the end. Place the tape reel
on the supply reel. Make sure the tape is installed so that the loose end hangs down on the
left side of the reel, not the right.
3. Thread the tape over the lower sample chamber guide pin (3). Push the compression head (4)
back and slide the tape behind the compression head. Ensure that the tape is flat against the
groove in the sample chamber (8) and has no creases.
Revision 1.2

4. Pull the tape up over the upper sample chamber guide pin (5).
5. Thread the tape over the black aluminium or grey plastic (shown) capstan of the pulse counter
(6).
6. Fold over the first 2 inches of the tape, and then slide this folded end of the tape into the slot
on the take-up reel (2), as shown in Figure 2-5.
Figure 2-5: Insertion of tape end into take-up reel
Revision 1.2

7. Replace the screw-on disks onto the supply and take-up reel. The larger disk goes on the
take-up reel.
8. Take up any slack in the tape by rotating the tape reel on the supply reel clockwise until the
tape is tight.
Other components of interest in Figure 2-4 are the sensor block cover (8), the vent bulkhead (9),
and the low tape sensor window (10). Once these steps have been followed, the tape should be
correctly installed on the tape transport system. Figure 2-6 shows the correct installation of tape
on the 802. The image on the left shows the completed tape installation without the anti-coning
disks and the one on the right shows the tape installation with the disks.
Figure 2-6: Correct Installation of Tape
2.4
Leak Testing of Compression Head
To ensure that repeatable data is obtained, it is essential to have a good seal between the
compression head, the tape, and the sample chamber. To test the seal, Galvanic recommends a
Dwyer Minhelic II gauge, available from Galvanic Applied Sciences. The gauge measures a range
of pressure from 0 to 5 inches of water column.
The following procedure is used to leak-check the 802 compression head and to obtain a proper
seal. Make sure the flow indicated on the chassis rotameter is approximately 2.0 before following
this procedure. The system MUST be in BYPASS mode prior to carrying out this procedure.
1. Remove the vent line from the elbow at the base of the chassis and attach the Minihelic to the
elbow, as shown in Figure 2-7.
2. Check the pressure indicated on the gauge. If the pressure reads 5 or above, as shown in
Figure 2-7, the tape is well sealed against the sample chamber by the compression head.
Press TAPE ADVANCE on the keypad and ensure that the pressure does not drop below 4
even when the tape is moving. It should return to 5 by the time the tape stops moving.
3. If the pressure is NOT 5 or greater, there is a problem with the seal somewhere in the
chassis. The first step will be to check and see if the problem is in the sample chamber itself.
Revision 1.2
2-7
21/08/2007
Figure 2-7: Minihelic indicating a good seal (L); connected to vent elbow (R)
4. Press BYPASS on the keypad to put the 802 into Bypass mode. Remove the compression
head. Pull the tape away from the sample chamber and put a thumb over the hole in the
sample chamber. If the pressure indicated on the Minihelic goes to 5 or greater, this will
indicate that the leak problem is caused by the compression head itself. If the pressure
indicated on the Minihelic with a thumb over the hole is close to zero, this is indicative of an
improperly installed gasket and/or window in the sample chamber assembly. Go to step 6. If
the pressure indicated is greater than 1, this is indicative of a leak in the humidifier. Go to step
7.
5. If the problem is with the compression head, there are a couple of possible resolutions. First,
take the compression head and rub the surface that actually contacts the tape on the paper
wrapper from the lead acetate tape to try and smooth it down. Reinstall the compression head
and check the pressure again. If the pressure is still not 5, remove the compression head
again, remove the setscrew from one side of the compression head and move it to the other
side to allow the compression head to be installed the other way in. Reinstall the compression
head, press TAPE ADVANCE on the keypad, and check the pressure again. If it is still not 5,
please call the service department at Galvanic Applied Sciences.
6. To check the sample chamber assembly for an improperly installed rear window and/or
gasket, remove the sensor block cover (number 9 in Figure 2-4) and unscrew the two screws
retaining the sample chamber in the chassis. Disconnect the sample inlet line (top) and the
sample vent line (bottom). Figure 2-8 shows an exploded view of the sample chamber
assembly for reference in taking the chamber assembly apart.
Figure 2-8: Sample Chamber Assembly Exploded View
Revision 1.2

Check that the two screws holding the sensor block clips (6) in position are as tight as
possible and then put a thumb back over the hole to check the pressure again. If the pressure
is still less than 5, remove the sensor block (4) entirely by disconnecting the two (or three)
electronics connectors on the sensor block, loosening the two screws holding the sensor block
retaining clips, and turning the clips outwards so that the sensor block is no longer retained.
Remove the sensor block. Ensure that the gasket (5) underneath the plastic window (3) is
correctly in position and that the plastic window is flat against the surface of the gasket, and
properly located within the indentation in the sample chamber. Check that the aperture strip
(2), if present, is stuck to the inside of the sample chamber with silicone grease. Clean out any
lint or dust noted in the square hole in the bottom of the sample chamber, as this may cause
the sensor block to have a high sensor current. Place the sensor block back on the sample
chamber, making sure not to knock the window out of position. Tighten it back down as far as
possible using the retaining clips. Reconnect the sample lines and check the pressure again
by placing a finger over the hole in the sample chamber it should be 5. If it is close to zero,
follow the procedure in this step again to check if the window was knocked out of position
when the sensor block was reinstalled. If it is greater than 1, go to step 7 to leak check the
humidifier. Reinstall the sample chamber back in the chassis and reinstall the compression
head, making sure that the tape is flat against the sample chamber. Check the pressure again.
If it is not 5, follow step 5 to check the problems with the compression head.
7. To test the humidifier for leaks, remove the Minihelic from the vent elbow and slide the
Minihelics rubber tubing over the end of the outlet barb on the humidifier, as shown in Figure
2-9.
Figure 2-9: Leak Testing the Humidifier

As shown in the figure, the outlet barb is the fitting close to the back of the humidifier. The
fitting at the front of the humidifier is the inlet barb that brings the sample gas into the
humidifier. While the gas is flowing through the humidifier, there should be a pressure greater
than 5 indicated on the Minihelic. If there is not, there is a leak in one of the fittings inside the
humidifier. Unscrew the 10 screws that hold the top onto the humidifier. Remove the top and
check the nuts on either end of the Nafion tubing. Be careful not to touch the tubing more than
absolutely necessary, as this may reduce the ability of the tubing to allow water vapour to
pass through it. Before putting the top back on, check the pressure again. If it is still not
Revision 1.2
2-9

greater than 5, there may be a problem with the tubing or one of the fittings. Please contact
Galvanic Applied Sciences Inc.s service department for assistance. If the pressure is greater
than 5, reattach the top to the humidifier and reconnect the Tygon tubing inside the chassis to
the outlet barb on the humidifier.
2.5
Initiating Calibration, Reference, and Zero
The procedures for running a calibration, reference, and zero run are slightly different, so they will
be covered separately for greater concision. A zero run should be performed before a calibration
run if both are to be done at the same time. NOTE: These runs will NOT initiate if an analysis
alarm (Alarm 1 or PAA) is currently triggered on the Normal run. If the 802 is in Alarm 1 or
PAA, the calibration, reference, or zero run will be entered into the run queue and will only
run once the alarm condition has cleared.
2.5.1 Manual Initiation of Reference

The following procedure will allow the user to run a manual reference run.
1. Connect a calibration cylinder containing a known concentration of hydrogen sulphide (or
total sulphur, if the 802 is a total sulphur unit) to the calibration port on the 802 sample
system.
2. Open the cylinder and set the low pressure gauge pressure on the regulator to 15psig.
3. If the sample system has a manual 3-way selection valve to choose between calibration
and sample streams, turn the valve to select the calibration stream. If not, go to step 4.
Make sure the chassis rotameter still reads a flow of 2.0. For total sulphur 802s, make
sure the sample flow meter still reads 0.5 and the hydrogen still reads 1.5.
4. If the 802 is equipped with an automatic calibration solenoid, the solenoid must be turned
on through the keypad. Press the F4 key to access the MNT (maintenance) menu. Using
the F4 (PGDN) key, scroll down through the maintenance menu until the line that says
Ref OFF is seen. Use the F2 and F3 keys if necessary to move the black highlight bar to
highlight this line. Press the EDIT key. Pressing the ENTER key will toggle the 802 to put
a reference run into the run queue.
5. Observe the results of the 802 measuring reference gas. If the reading is within 2% of
the certificate concentration value for the cylinder, the 802 is within calibration. Turn the 3way valve back to the sample stream to return to normal operation. If not, go section 2.5.2
to manually calibrate the 802.
2.5.2 Manual Initiation of Calibration

The following procedure will allow the user to manually initiate a calibration run.
1. Connect a calibration cylinder containing a known concentration of hydrogen sulphide (or
total sulphur, if the 802 is a total sulphur unit) to the calibration port on the 802 sample
system.
3. Enter the calibration gas concentration using the keypad. Press F4 to access the MNT
(maintenance) menu. Using the F4 (PGDN) key, scroll through the maintenance menu
until the line that has a value of GCalGa in the left column is seen. Use the F2 (UP) or F3
(DOWN) keys as necessary to move the black highlight bar to this line. Press EDIT. Enter
Revision 1.2
2-10
21/08/2007
the certificate value of the calibration gas concentration, and then press ENTER. Press
EXIT to return to the default screen.
4. If the sample system has a manual 3-way selection valve to choose between calibration
and sample streams, turn the valve to select the calibration stream. Make sure the chassis
rotameter still reads a flow of 2.0. For total sulphur 802s, make sure the sample flow
meter still reads 0.5 and the hydrogen still reads 1.5.
5. To initiate the calibration run, press the F4 key to access the MNT (maintenance) menu.
Using the F4 (PGDN) key, scroll down through the maintenance menu until the line that
says Cal OFF is seen. Use the F2 and F3 keys if necessary to move the black highlight
bar to highlight this line. Press the EDIT key. Pressing the ENTER key will toggle the 802
to put a calibration run into the run queue.
6. Once the calibration run is complete, run a reference to ensure that the calibration is valid.
7. Once satisfied with the calibration, return the 3 way valve to the sample position.
2.5.3 Manual Initiation of Zero

The following procedure will allow the user to manually initiate a zero run.
1. Connect a cylinder containing no hydrogen sulphide, such as ultra pure nitrogen, to the
dedicated zero port (or calibration port, if the sample system does not have a dedicated
zero port) on the 802 sample system.
3. If the zero gas concentration is zero, this step can be skipped. If not, enter the zero gas
concentration using the keypad. Press F4 to access the MNT (maintenance) menu. Using
the F4 (PGDN) key, scroll through the maintenance menu until the line that has a value of
OCalGa in the left column is seen. Use the F2 (UP) or F3 (DOWN) keys as necessary to
move the black highlight bar to this line. Press EDIT. Enter the certificate value of the zero
gas concentration, and then press ENTER. Press EXIT to return to the default screen.
4. If the sample system has a manual 3-way selection valve to choose between calibration /
zero and sample streams, turn the valve to select the calibration / zero stream. Make sure
the chassis rotameter still reads a flow of 2.0. For total sulphur 802s, make sure the
sample flow meter still reads 0.5 and the hydrogen still reads 1.5.
5. To initiate the zero run, press the F4 key to access the MNT (maintenance) menu. Using
the F4 (PGDN) key, scroll down through the maintenance menu until the line that says
Zero OFF is seen. Use the F2 and F3 keys if necessary to move the black highlight bar to
highlight this line. Press the EDIT key. Pressing the ENTER key will toggle the 802 to put
a zero run into the run queue.
6. Once the zero run is complete, run a reference run using the zero gas as the reference
gas to ensure that the 802 does read 0, or very close to 0, on the zero gas.
7. Once satisfied with the zero, return the three way valve to the sample position.
2.5.4 Manual Quick Calibration / Zero

This procedure can only be used on 802s equipped with the manual 3-way valve for selection
between the calibration stream and the sample stream. Note that this procedure will likely
result in less accurate gain and zero offset factors than those produced by following the
Revision 1.2
2-11
21/08/2007
procedures in sections 2.5.2 and 2.5.3. Ensure that the 802 is in BYPASS mode before
following these procedures.
2.5.4.1
Quick Calibration
1. Connect a calibration cylinder containing a known concentration of hydrogen sulphide

(or total sulphur, if the 802 is a total sulphur unit) to the calibration port on the 802
sample system.
3. Turn the 3-way valve to select the calibration stream. Make sure the chassis
4. Allow the 802 to run for two or three cycles until the readings look stable. Determine
whether the reading on the screen is too high or too low, and by approximately how
much (percentage). Press the F4 key to access the MNT (Maintenance) menu. Use
the F4 key (PGDN) to scroll down through the menu until the line with the value Gain
in the left column is seen. Use the F2 (UP) and F3 (DOWN) keys as necessary to
move the black highlight bar to this line. Press EDIT. Enter a new gain factor. If the
reading on the screen was too high relative to the certificate concentration value,
lower the current gain factor by the same percentage that the reading was too high. If
the reading was too low, raise the current gain factor by the same percentage that the
reading was too low. Press EXIT to return to the default screen to observe the new
reading.
5. Use step 4 to fine-tune the gain as desired.
6. Once satisfied with the gain, return the 3-way valve to the sample position.
2.5.4.2
Quick Zero
1. Connect a calibration cylinder containing no hydrogen sulphide to the calibration port

on the 802 sample system.
3. Turn the 3-way valve to select the calibration stream. Make sure the chassis
4. Allow the 802 to run for two or three cycles until the readings look stable. Determine
whether the readings look to be too high (positive) or too low (negative readings), and
by numerically how much. Press the F4 key to access the MNT (Maintenance) menu.
Use the F4 key (PGDN) to scroll down through the menu until the line with the value
Offset in the left column is seen. Use the F2 (UP) and F3 (DOWN) keys as necessary
to move the black highlight bar to this line. Press EDIT. Enter a new zero offset. If the
reading on the screen was positive, add this value to the current zero offset. If the
reading was negative, add this negative value to the current zero offset (i.e. reduce
the magnitude of the current zero offset). Press EXIT to return to the default screen to
observe the new reading.
5. Use step 4 to fine tune the zero offset as desired.
Revision 1.2

6. Once satisfied with the zero offset, return the 3-way valve to the sample position.
2.6
Total Sulphur Procedures
There are a couple of procedures that must be followed for maintenance and testing of totalsulphur furnace equipped 802s. These procedures are related to replacing the quartz reaction
tube and checking the furnace for hydrogen leaks after replacing the reaction tube.
IMPORTANT: It is essential that the power be turned off to the 802 before
carrying out either of these procedures. The furnace enclosure must be
allowed to cool for at least 45 minutes prior to initiating these procedures.
Do NOT remove the end caps of the furnace enclosure until the furnace is
cool attempting to remove the end caps while the furnace is still hot could
result in an explosion if even a small amount of hydrogen has leaked into
the furnace!
Figure 2-10 shows a numbered photo of the exterior and interior of the total sulphur furnace, for
ease of identifying all the parts discussed in these procedures.
Figure 2-10: Total Sulphur Furnace Enclosure - Exterior (L) and Interior (R)
The total sulphur furnace is housed inside an explosion proof enclosure (1). There are two screw
on end caps (2,3) that screw onto large threads (10) at each end of the enclosure. A conduit (6)
carries the power wiring (11,12) and the temperature sensor wiring (not visible) into the enclosure.
The sample flows through flame arrestors (4,5) on the way into and out of the furnace. The
reaction takes place in a quartz reaction tube (8) inside the actual total sulphur furnace, which is
housed in a smaller aluminium enclosure (7). The sample lines are attached to the quartz tube by
means of ultra-torr elbows (9) that have finger-tightened nuts to create an adequate seal.
2.6.1 Replacing Quartz Reaction Tube

The total sulphur reactions take place inside a quartz reaction tube inside the total sulphur
enclosure. The quartz reaction tube is shown in Figure 2-10.
Figure 2-11: Total Sulphur Quartz Reaction Tube
Revision 1.2
2-13
21/08/2007
In some situations it may be necessary to replace the quartz reaction tube. Depending on the
composition of the sample gas, the tube may coke up over time and cause flow impediment.
Alternatively, if the tube cokes up significantly, it may reduce the catalytic behaviour of the
reaction tube that helps the total sulphur reactions occur. The following procedure is to be
followed to replace a quartz reaction tube. Refer back to Figure 2-10 for assistance in
identifying parts in the total sulphur enclosure assembly.
1. As mentioned previously, turn off the power to the 802. Allow the furnace to cool down for
at least 45 minutes before removing the end caps.
2. Turn off the hydrogen and sample flow at the rotameters on the sample conditioning
system.
3. Unscrew the nuts all the way on the reaction tube sides of the two ultra-torr elbows inside
the furnace assembly.
4. Pull the ultra-torr elbows away from the reaction tube. Slide the old tube out of the furnace
assembly. Slide the nuts, ferrules and O-rings off the old tube.
5. Carefully slide the new tube into the furnace. Slide the old nuts and ferrules onto the two
ends of the tube, as well as two new kal-rez high temperature rubber o-rings. The correct
order is shown in the exploded view in Figure 2-11.
Figure 2-12: Exploded view of ultra-torr fitting

Slide the nut (4) with the threads facing toward the end of the tube, the ferrule (3) with the
narrower end facing toward the end of the tube, and the kal-rez high temperature o-ring
(3) over the end of the quartz reaction tube (5). Slide the end of the tube into the end of
the elbow (1) until it cannot be pushed in any further. Carefully tighten the nut onto the
elbow. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! This may cause the tube to break. Tug on the elbow
slightly after tightening to ensure that the elbow is snugly attached to the end of the tube.
6. Repeat step 5 for the other end of the tube.
7. Replace the end caps on the furnace enclosure. Be sure to align the threads correctly.
The end-caps will screw on very easily if the threads are aligned correctly. DO NOT
FORCE! Cross threading will seriously impair the explosion proof nature of the enclosure.
2.6.2 Leak Checking Total Sulphur Furnace

Once the quartz reaction tube has been replaced, it is necessary to leak check the furnace
prior to powering it back on. Follow this procedure for leak checking the total sulphur furnace.
Revision 1.2
2-14
21/08/2007
Turn the sample and hydrogen flow back on. Ensure hydrogen is flowing at 1.5 and sample is
flowing at 0.5 on the rotameters.
Place a cap on the top side of the flame arrestor on the right hand side of the total sulphur
furnace, as shown in Figure 2-13. This will block flow through the total sulphur furnace.
Figure 2-13: Location of Cap for furnace leak check
Watch the flow on the hydrogen and sample rotameters on the sample conditioning system. If
there is a good seal in the furnace, the flow on both rotameters should drop to zero within 1
minute.
If the flow does not drop to zero, use liquid leak detector (e.g. Snoop) to check all external fittings
for leaks. If there are none, remove the end caps from the furnace enclosure and ensure that all
the fittings on the four ultra-torr elbows inside the enclosure, especially the two on the reaction
tube itself, are as tight as possible. Again, be careful not to break the tube while tightening the
fittings.
Once the leak has been fixed, replace the end caps, remove the cap, and reattach the sample
line to the top of the flame arrestor. Ensure that this fitting is tight.
Restore power to the 802 and begin normal operation.

Section 3 Mechanical and Hardware

As was described previously in Section 1, the 802 is divided into five major components the
electronics enclosure, the chassis, the keypad, and optionally the sample conditioning system and the
total sulphur furnace. Each component will be described separately.
3.1
Electronics Enclosure
The Electronics enclosure is the brain of the 802. It contains the main processor, the system
memory, the power supply, the LCD display, the analog outputs, the relays, the solenoids, and the
communications ports USB, RS-232, RS-485, and high speed LAN. In Class 1 Division 1 (XP)
units, the electronics enclosure also contains the intrinsically safe barrier through which pass all
electrical connections between the electronics enclosure and the chassis. The interior of a Division
2 electronics enclosure is seen in Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1: 802 Division 2 Electronics Enclosure

The front of the electronics enclosure is dominated by the large LCD display. There are nine LEDs
surrounding the display, and on the right hand side of the display is a USB Type A connector that
can be used in either USB mode or RS-232 mode. See section 5.1.3 for more information.
3.1.1 Front Panel

The front panel serves as the user interface for the 802. It consists of the LCD display and the
surrounding LEDs. Simply by looking at the front panel, the user can immediately gain a good
deal of insight as to the current state of the 802. The front panel, including the lamacoid, is
shown in Figure 3-2.

3.1.1.1
LCD Display
The LCD display on the 802 is much larger than the displays found on previous Galvanic
lead acetate tape analyzers. The default display can be seen clearly in Figure 3-2. In the
default display mode, there are three separate zones on the LCD display. At the top of
the screen are 4 status indicators, marked mV, RUN, STATE, and TAPE. The middle of
the screen shows the calculated concentration value. The bottom of the screen shows
four menus that can be accessed by using the keypad.
The mV indicator indicates the current output of the sensor block. This number is adjusted
to zero at the beginning of an analysis, and becomes larger as the tape gets darker on
exposure to H2S. The larger this number is, the darker the stain on the tape is.
The RUN indicator indicates which analysis mode the 802 is currently in. The four
possible values of this indicator are shown in Table 3-1.
Code
NR0 to NR9
CR0 to CR9
RR0 to RR9
ZR0 to ZR9
Table 3-1: RUN Codes

Meaning
The 802 is currently analyzing the sample stream.
The 802 is currently running a calibration analysis to
calculate a new gain factor.
The 802 is currently running a reference analysis to
check the validity of the current calibration.
The 802 is currently running a zero analysis to
calculate a new zero offset.
The four run types are explained in detail in section 4.4. The numeral in the code indicates
which analysis cycle in the sequence the 802 is currently carrying out.
Revision 1.2

The STATE code indicates what state the 802 is currently in. There are seven possible
codes that may be seen in this indicator. They are explained in Table 3-2.

Table 3-2: STATE Codes

Meaning
The sensor block is initializing. This code is only seen
on power-up and during a user-forced tape advance.
The electronics assembly is waiting for measurement
from the sensor block. This code is only seen on power
up and during a user-forced tape advance.
Tape advance in progress. This code is seen at power
up, during a user-forced tape advance, and at the end
of every analysis cycle.
The sensor block is recalibrating and auto-zeroing the
output so that the sensor output starts at 0mV for the
next analysis run. This code is seen at the beginning of
every analysis cycle.
Sample Delay. Results obtained during this section of
the analysis cycle are considered invalid by the 802
and are not used in the concentration calculation.
Sample Interval. This is the standard analysis mode
where results are collected to calculate the
concentration.
The system is purging. This code is only seen
immediately after a stream change. The system purges
for a given period of time before beginning an analysis
on the new stream.
The INIT, IDLE, and CSENS codes are explained in more detail in section 3.2.1.2, which
describes the operation of the sensor block. The SD and SI codes are explained in more
detail in sections 4.2 and 4.3, which explain the standard analysis cycle and the timed
analysis cycle.
The TAPE indicator displays the length of tape currently remaining on the reel. This
allows the user to quickly determine the amount of tape left without having to open the
tape enclosure. This number MUST be reset every time the tape is changed to ensure
that this value is correct. The tape length can be reset through the keypad (Section 3.3)
or through the GUI (Section 5.3.4.1.1).
The centre of the LCD display is occupied by a large concentration display. This displays
the last calculated concentration value for the current stream. That is to say, if the
analyzer switches streams, the screen will switch to show the last calculated value for
that stream. If that stream has not been run since the 802 was powered up, the display
will read 0.00. The concentration value will update live if the 802 is in PAA Alarm (section
4.4.1.2) or if the user has configured the LCD to display live concentration values, either
through the keypad or through the GUI. The units value, by default set to PPM, can be
configured to display any units of the users choosing through the GUI (section 5.3.5.1). If
the 802 is configured to display the live concentration reading, the concentration units will
have an L in front of them. For example, PPM would become LPPM.
The bottom portion of the LCD is taken up by four menus. The codes F1, F2, F3, and F4
indicate the keys on the keypad used to access these menus. The purpose of each menu
is outlined in Table 3-3, and described in detail in section 3.3.

3.1.2 Electronics Assembly

Within the electronics enclosure are three separate circuit boards that are stacked together.
Together these 3 boards comprise the electronics assembly. The top of the assembly is
occupied by the display board, which controls the 802s LCD display and is home to the
USB/RS-232 connector. Below that, invisible from directly in front of the analyzer, is the
processor board. This board contains the units flash memory, which stores the units
configuration file, archive data (section 5.3.2), the Event Log (Section 5.3.3). The 802s
operating firmware and its backup are also stored on this board. The main processor and the
systems clock battery are also on this board. The bottom board is the input/output (I/O) board.
This contains four relays, two analog outputs, four solenoid drivers, four digital inputs, high
speed LAN, and RS-485 communications terminals. The analog outputs are NOT powered, so
they must be provided with loop power (24VDC) in order to output their values correctly. The
I/O board also contains a terminal block to receive signals from the detector, and a power
terminal to drive the motor for advancing the tape. At the bottom left hand corner is the power
terminal that provides power to the entire 802. Wiring diagrams for both the Class 1 Division 1
and Class 1 Division 2 802s can be found in Section 7.
3.1.3 AC to DC Power Supply

The 802 electronics run on 10-32VDC, provided either directly or by conversion from a 110220VAC source by an AC to DC power supply. The power supply is mounted either behind the
electronics assembly as in the Class1 Division 2 version of the 802, or in an external explosion
proof enclosure, as in the Class 1 Division 1 version. Regardless of version, the power supply
is capable of handling any voltage from 110 to 240 volts, and puts out a maximum current of 3
amps.
3.1.4 Intrinsically Safe Barrier

For Class 1 Division 1 802s, all electrical connections between the electronics enclosure and
the chassis must pass through an intrinsically safe barrier. The intrinsically safe barrier
connections are shown in Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3: Intrinsically Safe Barrier Connections

As can be seen in the figure, there are several connections that must pass through the barrier.
The connections on the left are on the hazardous side, and come from the chassis. Those on
the right are on the safe side. These connections are the keypad wiring, power to both the
Revision 1.2
3-20
21/08/2007
sensor block and the pulse counter, and signal wiring to carry communications between the
sensor block and the electronics assembly. The intrinsically safe barrier is mounted behind the
electronics assembly, so for space reasons the power supply for Class 1 Division 1 802s must
be mounted externally.
3.2
Chassis
The Chassis is the component of the 802 that contains all of the mechanical parts of the 802. It
contains the tape-advance motor, the pulse counter used to accurately advance the tape, the lead
acetate tape spool, and all components related to the actual flow of sample gas and the
measurement of the concentration of H2S in the sample gas stream. A photo of the chassis of a
Class 1 Division 2 802 with all the covers removed is shown in Figure 3-4.
Figure 3-4: 802 Division 2 Chassis (All Covers Removed)
3.2.1 Sample Chamber Assembly

The sample chamber assembly is the key component in the measurement of the H2S
concentration in the gas being measured. The sample chamber assembly allows the sample
gas to pass onto the lead acetate tape, and also contains the detector assembly, known as
the sensor block. An exploded view of the sample chamber assembly is shown in Figure 3-5.

The Rate/Read Aperture strip and the Rear Window are both made of a clear plastic material
to allow the light from the sensor block to pass through to the tape to correctly measure the
rate of colour change on the tape. The sensor block is held onto the sample chamber by
means of clips. By tightening the screws on the clips, the rear window is pressed into the rear
window rubber gasket and sealed to the sample chamber by pressure from the sensor block
above it. The rate/read aperture strip is sealed to the inside of the sample chamber using
silicone grease. The sample flow through the sample chamber assembly is shown in Figure
3-6, on the following page.
The clean, humidified, and flow-regulated sample enters the sample chamber from the sample
inlet. It then passes over the Rate/Read Aperture strip, behind the rear window. Some of the
gas passes through the aperture strip and onto the lead acetate tape, causing a measurable
colour change. The tape is held firmly against the sample chamber by the compression head.
The amount of gas that passes onto the tape is dependent on the size of the aperture strip
(section 3.2.1.1). The gas then passes out to the vent.

3.2.1.1
Read/Rate Aperture Strip
The Read/Rate aperture strip is used to control the quantity of gas that is actually passes
onto the lead acetate tape. If the sample gas H2S concentration is high, it is necessary to
reduce the quantity of gas that passes onto the tape to react with the lead acetate,
otherwise the rate of colour change will be too fast for the 802 to correctly analyze, and
poor results will be obtained. Likewise, if the sample gas H2S concentration is low, it is
necessary to allow more sample gas to pass onto the tape to allow the rate of colour
change to be high enough to produce decent results. Thus, for high concentrations, the
size of the aperture in the read/rate aperture strip is small, and for low concentrations it is
large. Certain ranges do not even require an aperture strip. There are several possible
read/rate aperture strip sizes. The most common aperture strip sizes are listed in Table
3-6 along with the maximum ranges they are capable of measuring and their correct part
numbers. For other ranges, please contact Galvanic Applied Sciences.

Note that each read/rate aperture strip size is capable of measuring any range between
the maximum range of the next largest aperture strip size and the maximum range of the
given aperture strip size. For example, a 1/8 aperture strip would be capable of
measuring 0-5 and 0-10ppm.

3.2.1.2
Sensor Block
The sensor block consists of two electronics boards, a light emitting diode, and a
photodiode detector. The 802s sensor block is shown in Figure 3-7.
Figure 3-7: 802 Sensor Block (From Left: Top View, Side View, Installed View)
The primary job of the sensor block is to measure the intensity of light reflected off of the
lead acetate tape. To do so, the light emitting diode emits a beam of red light that passes
through the rear window and the rate/read aperture strip and reflects off of the lead
acetate tape. The reflected light then passes back through the aperture strip and rear
window to reach the photodiode detector, where it is measured. As the stain on the tape
gets darker and darker while exposed to H2S, the amount of light reflected back to the
photodiode detector is reduced. The rate of change in the amount of light reflected back to
the photodiode detector is directly proportional to the concentration of H2S in the sample
gas. The sensor block communicates with the electronics assembly via an RS-485
connection. If the connection between the sensor block and the electronics assembly is
broken for any reason, an alarm will be triggered.
3.2.1.2.1
Sensor Block Calibration
The measured reading at the photodiode detector is referenced to the sensor output
obtained on white tape at the beginning of every analysis. At the end of every cycle,
the tape is advanced a certain distance to ensure that there is a new section of white
tape to be analyzed. The sensor block then adjusts the current to the light emitting
diode such that the photodiode detector has an output of 1000 millivolts. The current
required to produce a reading of 1000mV is called the Sensor Current. The
differential sensor output is obtained by subtracting the reference output of 1000mV
from the sensor output obtained on tape that has been exposed to H2S. The
differential sensor output is calculated continuously during an analysis.
As the sensor ages, the amount sensor current will increase. In addition, if the sensor
chamber gets dirty and blocked up with lint or fuzz from the tape, the sensor current
will also increase. To clean out this lint, follow the procedure found in Step 6 in section
2.4. As such, the 802 can be set up to trigger an alarm should the sensor current go
above a user-selected value. The set point for this alarm can be configured through
the GUI (Section 5.3.4.2)
Revision 1.2
3-24
21/08/2007
NOTE: If the 802 is relatively new (less than 1 year old),

sensor current alarms will most likely be caused by lint or dirt
build-up in the sample chamber.
If the sensor current reaches a hard-coded maximum value and the photodiode
detector still has not reached 1000mV, another alarm, the Sensor Calibration alarm,
can be triggered. This alarm can also be triggered through the GUI (Section 5.3.4.2).
Once the photodiode detector sees an output of 1000mV, the 802 processor sets this
value equal to zero. The net sensor output during an analysis is calculated by taking
the absolute value of the differential sensor output. The net sensor output starts from
0mV and increases as the stain gets darker. The raw sensor output is the actual
sensor output. It starts from approximately 1000mV, and decreases as the analysis
proceeds.
3.2.1.2.2
Other Sensor Block Functions
The sensor block has three other secondary functions. First, it contains a temperature
sensor that measures the ambient temperature near the sensor block. This
temperature sensor can be used to trigger alarms should the ambient temperature
rise above or drop below set amounts, values that can be set in the GUI (Section
5.3.4.2).
Secondly, the sensor block plays a key role in the tape advance algorithm. While the
tape advance motor is running, the sensor block receives pulses from the pulse
counter (section 3.2.2.3). When the sensor block receives the number of pulses set in
the GUI (section 5.3.4.1.1), it sends a message to the 802s main processor. The
processor then sends a message to the motor to stop advancing the tape.
Finally, the sensor block also receives signals from the low tape sensor (Section
3.2.2.4). If the sensor block receives an alarm signal from the low tape sensor, it
sends this signal to the main processor, which then triggers a low tape alarm.
These other functions are not permitted to interfere with the sensor blocks primary
purpose of measuring the light reflected off the lead acetate tape. As such, they are
only updated during the time that the tape is advancing. Running these other functions
during an analysis cycle might introduce noise into the analog-to-digital converter
(ADC), which could negatively affect the concentration results obtained by the 802, so
they are turned off during an analysis cycle.
3.2.2 Tape Transport System

The tape transport system is responsible for advancing the tape and ensuring that the 802 has
a fresh section of white tape available at the commencement of every analysis cycle. The tape
transport system for the 802 is shown in Figure 3-8.
Revision 1.2
3-25
21/08/2007
Figure 3-8: 802 Tape Transport System
The tape transport system consists of the supply and take-up reels, the drive motor, the
compression head, the pulse counter, and the optional low-tape sensor.
3.2.2.1
Supply and Take-Up Reels
The supply and take-up reels are the key components in the tape transport system. The
supply reel, which has a small screw-on retaining disk, is found on the bottom of the
chassis, and can hold reels of tape up to 350 feet in length. The tape is threaded over the
lower tape guide, past the sample chamber assembly and compression head, over the
two upper tape guides, and finally over the pulse counter pulley before reaching the takeup reel. The take-up reel, which has a large screw-on retaining disk, is driven by the
motor, and is responsible for advancing the tape at the end of every cycle. For more
information on the correct installation of tape into the tape transport system, please see
section 2.3.
3.2.2.2
Motor
The drive motor is a small 5 volt electric motor that is controlled by the main processor of
the 802. It is either installed inside the chassis, as in the Division 2 802, or in an explosion
proof enclosure on the outside of the chassis, as in the Division 1 802. The motor turns
the take-up reel to advance the tape at the beginning of every analysis cycle to ensure
that the next analysis has a section of pure white tape to react with the hydrogen sulphide.
The length of time that the motor runs for is controlled by the 802s processor in
conjunction with the pulse counter.
Revision 1.2
3-26
21/08/2007
3.2.2.3
Pulse Counter
The pulse counter is the component of the tape transport system responsible for ensuring
even spacing of stains on the lead acetate tape. The pulse counter is shown in Figure 3-9.
Figure 3-9: Pulse Counter

The images on the left and in the centre show the pulse counter as it appears when not
installed in the chassis. The centre image shows the two connectors on the back side of
the pulse counter. The right image shows how the pulse counter appears in the tape
transport system. The black aluminium capstan is mounted on the silver nub seen in the
left image, and it rotates when the tape moves over it. The pulse counter is a device that
produces a specific amount of pulses for every revolution. By measuring the number of
pulses produced by the movement of the tape while the motor is running, the 802s
processor can ensure that the tape is advanced exactly the same distance before every
analysis cycle, regardless of the quantity of tape on the take-up reel. This ensures that the
stain spacing on the tape is even; further, by reducing the amount of white space between
subsequent stains, tape wastage is minimized, and tape life is maximized.
When the motor advances the take-up reel, causing the tape to move, the movement of
the tape causes the capstan on the pulse-counter to rotate, producing pulses. These
pulses are read by the sensor block, which then sends the pulse count to the 802s
processor. When the processor receives a number of pulses equal to the number of
pulses per advance set in the GUI (section 5.3.4.1.1), typically around 40 pulses, or a little
less than one sixth of a revolution, it sends a signal to the motor to stop turning, and the
tape stops advancing.
The pulse counter also allows the 802 to accurately indicate the quantity of tape remaining
on the supply reel, as long as the initial length is set correctly in the GUI (section
5.3.4.1.1) or through the keypad (section 3.3). This value is displayed on the 802s LCD in
the upper right corner, and can be output through an analog output. The quantity of tape
remaining is calculated after every analysis cycle, using the formula outlined in section
5.3.4.1.1. This value can also be used to trigger a low-tape alarm when the quantity of
tape goes below a user-set value, set up through the GUI (Section 5.3.4.2).
3.2.2.4
Optical Low Tape Sensor (Optional)
The optical low tape sensor is an optional low tape sensor that is mounted just above the
supply reel. It shines a beam of light at the tape on the supply reel and looks for light
reflected off of the tape on the supply reel. If the amount of tape remaining on the supply
reel is below the level of the optical low tape sensor, there will not be any reflection read
by the low tape sensor. This will result in the low tape sensor triggering a low tape alarm.
Typically the low tape alarm triggers when there is approximately 15 feet of tape
Revision 1.2
3-27
21/08/2007
remaining on the supply reel. The low tape alarm can be disabled or enabled through the
GUI (Section 5.3.4.2).
3.2.2.5
Compression Head
The compression head is the component in the tape transport system that seals the lead
acetate tape up against the sample chamber so that the lead acetate can react with the
hydrogen sulphide in the gas stream. The compression head is shown in Figure 3-10.
Figure 3-10: 802 Compression Head

The compression head is comprised of a black low-friction plastic held up against the tape
and sample chamber by means of two springs. The low-friction plastic construction
ensures that the tape moves smoothly past the compression head, preventing tape
breakage.
The compression head has two purposes. First, by creating a seal between the tape and
the sample chamber, it ensures that the stains on the tape are even and have sharp
edges, which produces much better results. Second, because the low friction plastic is
black, it prevents stray light from being detected by the photodiode on the sensor block.
This in turn prevents inadvertent triggering of high concentration alarms, as stray light
could make the 802 think it was analyzing a much higher concentration gas than it actually
is.
3.2.3 Sample Flow Related Components

The chassis contains several components related to the actual flow and conditioning of the
sample. They are the critical orifice (not found in total sulphur units), the Nafion sample
humidifier, the rotameter and the power vent (eductor). The sample flows through the
components in that order from the critical orifice, though the humidifier and rotameter, and
finally out of the analyzer through the power vent.
3.2.3.1
Critical Orifice
A critical orifice is a Swagelok fitting that has a very small hole passing through the
fitting. Because the hole is so small, the maximum flow rate through the fitting is limited,
regardless of the inlet pressure. Thus, using a critical orifice ensures that the sample flow
rate through the analyzer remains consistent, even if there are fluctuations in the pressure
of the sample gas.
It is essential to have a consistent flow rate because the concentration reading is
dependent on sample flow rate. The higher the flow rate, the more hydrogen sulphide
Revision 1.2
3-28
21/08/2007
comes into contact with the lead acetate tape in a given period time, and thus the faster
reaction and higher concentration reading.
A total sulphur 802 does not contain a critical orifice. The sample flow through a total
sulphur 802 is controlled by two rotameters on the external sample system.
3.2.3.2
Sample Humidifier
The reaction between lead acetate and hydrogen sulphide is improved if the hydrogen
sulphide-containing sample gas is humidified prior to coming into contact with the lead
acetate. The standard Nafion humidifier for the 802 is shown in Figure 3-11.
Figure 3-11: Nafion Humidifier

The humidifier is located behind the lower access door on the front of the chassis. The
door has a hole through which the liquid level in the humidifier can be observed. The
Nafion humidifier is filled with a 5% Acetic Acid solution. The acid solution is used to keep
the humidifier free of algae, as well as to lower the freezing point to several degrees
below zero Celsius. The sample gas passes through the tube at the top of the humidifier.
The tube is made of a material called Nafion, which is selectively permeable and allows
water vapour, which collects above the surface of the liquid water in the humidifier, to
pass into the sample stream. By allowing the water vapour to enter into the sample
stream, the sample stream is thereby humidified.
3.2.3.3
Rotameter
The rotameter is a device that indicates the flow rate through the 802. It is mounted on the
upper access door on the chassis. The standard rotameter on the 802 chassis is shown in
Figure 3-12, on the following page.
It is important to note that the chassis rotameter does not control the flow rate of the
sample gas it only measures the flow rate of the gas. The flow rate through the 802 is
controlled either by the critical orifice or by the two controllable rotameters (one for
sample, one for hydrogen) on a 802 total sulphur units external sample conditioning
system. The flow rate indicated on the chassis rotameter is approximately 2.0, but this will
vary from unit to unit due to variances in the size of the hole in the critical orifice.

Power Vent (Eductor)
The power vent, also known as the eductor, is a device that produces a positive pressure
at the exhaust while allowing the analyzer vent to remain at ambient pressure. An eductor
is shown in Figure 3-13.
Figure 3-13: Eductor

The eductor has two purposes. The first is related to the fact that changes in ambient
pressure can affect the results produced by the 802. If the 802 is inside a building where
there is a fluctuating static pressure in comparison to the outside ambient pressure, the
power vent will eliminate any influence on the tape staining. Static pressure changes
inside the building are normally caused by building vent fans coming on and off which will
change the differential pressure across the sample chamber. Pressure can also be
affected by a strong wind blowing across the vent. When this happens, a slight change in
the pressure of the sample between the tape and the sample chamber occurs. This slight
change in differential pressure across the tape can cause a reduction in the seal between
Revision 1.2
3-30
21/08/2007
the tape and the sample chamber, resulting in poorly shaped stains that give poor results.
It can also cause more air to be introduced into the sample chamber, diluting the sample
gas and producing lower-than-expected results.
Secondly, if the 802 is located in a cold climate, the humidified sample gas passing out of
the vent can freeze, blocking off the flow through the sample system. By using an eductor,
the residence time of the sample gas within the 802 is reduced, making it less likely that
the moist air will freeze inside the analyzer.

Keypad
The keypad is the component of the 802 that allows the user to make changes to the analyzer
without the need for attaching a computer with the Graphical User Interface software installed. The
keypad is intrinsically safe, meaning that it can be used even in a class 1 division 1 area without
first having to declassify the area. This means that changes can be made to the analyzer quickly
and easily on site. The 802s keypad is shown in Figure 3-14.
Figure 3-14: 802 Keypad

The keypad consists of a total of 20 keys. Eleven of these keys are simple numerical keys,
marked with the numbers 0 through 9 plus a decimal key. These keys are used for entering in new
numerical values. There are 9 other keys that are used for the functions outlined in Table 3-7.

This is the setpoint value for alarm 1 on the Normal run. If the calculated
concentration value at the end of any cycle exceeds this value, Alarm 1 will be
triggered. See section 4.4.1.1 for more information on Alarm 1. This value can also be
set in the GUI see section 5.3.5.2.3.
This is the setpoint for PAA on the normal run. If the calculated value at any time
exceeds this value, the PAA will be triggered. See section 4.4.1.2 for more
information on the PAA. This value can also be set in the GUI see section 5.3.5.2.3.
This parameter displays the name and range associated with analog output 1. By
default, this output is set to output the concentration value from the normal run. The
range can be set using the keypad, while the name and range of this parameter can
also be set in the GUI (Section 5.3.5.2.2)
This parameter displays the name and range associated with analog output 2. By
default, this output is set to output the length of tape remaining. The range can be set
using the keypad, while the name and range of this parameter can also be set in the
GUI (Section 5.3.5.2.2)
This is the calibration gain, which is the number that the rate of change is multiplied
by to obtain a concentration value. When this number is changed, the display and the
analog output immediately update to reflect the new calculated concentration value.
For more information on the gain and the calculation of the concentration value, see
section 4.4.2. This value can also be set through the GUI (section 5.3.5.3).

This is the calibration gas concentration, from which the calibration gain is calculated
during a calibration run (section 4.4.2). This value can also be set through the GUI
(section 5.3.5.3).
This is the concentration that the analyzer reads while analyzing gas that contains no
hydrogen sulphide. The zero offset is calculated during a zero run (section 4.4.3).
When the gain is updated, the value of this parameter is automatically changed to
reflect the new gain. This value can also be set through the GUI (section 5.3.5.5).
This is the zero gas concentration, from which the zero offset is calculated during a
zero run. This value is typically zero, and should not be set to any other number
unless the zero gas is known to contain a certain quantity of hydrogen sulphide. This
value can also be set through the GUI (section 5.3.5.5).
The next four parameters indicate the polarity of the digital inputs. If the value is set to
OFF, it means that the digital input will be considered triggered if the switch
connected to the digital input is off. This is used for the Total Sulphur furnace
temperature switch and the low pressure switches, both of which turn on when
conditions are normal and turn off when in an alarm condition. If the value is set to
ON, it means that the digital input will be considered triggered if the switch connected
to the digital input is on. This is used for run initiation switches which are off when the
switch is not depressed, and turn on when the switch is pressed. The polarity of
digital inputs, as well as their displayed names, can also be set in the GUI (Section
5.3.6).
These parameters indicate the fail safe position of the four relays. The fail-safe
position is the position that the relay will default to when a) the 802 is in bypass mode
and b) the relay has not been triggered by an alarm or any other event. If the value is
set to OFF (which all four relays are set to by default) the relay will be off (i.e. set to
the normally open position) when the 802 is in bypass mode and when the relay has
not been triggered by any event. If the value is set to ON, the relay will be on (i.e. set
to the normally closed position) when the 802 is in bypass mode and when the relay
has not been triggered by any event. The Fail Safe Position of the relays can also be
set through the GUI (Section 5.3.7).
These parameters indicate whether or not the four relays will latch when triggered by
an event. If the value is set to OFF, the relay will return to fail safe position as soon as
the event that triggered the relay has cleared. If the value is set to ON, the relay will
remain in the non fail safe position until the latch has been cleared by the user, either
through the GUI or through the keypad. The latching behaviour of the relays can also
be set through the GUI (section 5.3.7).
This parameter allows the user to initiate a calibration cycle. By default this is set to
OFF. A calibration run can be initiated by highlighting this parameter, pressing the
EDIT key, then pressing ENTER to toggle the setting to ON. This will put a calibration
run into the run queue. The setting will return to OFF once the calibration run has
completed. Note that a calibration run will not initiate if Alarm 1 or the PAA are
currently triggered it will wait in the run queue until the alarm condition has
completely cleared. Ensure that the calibration gas concentration has been correctly
entered and that the calibration gas is hooked up to the calibration port prior to
initiating a calibration run. The Calibration run can also be initiated, and the displayed
name for this run can be changed from the GUI (5.3.5.3).Note than a Calibration run
can initiated from the keypad ONLY if the Conditional checkbox in the Calibration
stream page in the GUI has a checkmark in it.
This parameter allows the user to initiate a reference run to check the 802s
calibration. By default this is set to OFF. A reference run can be initiated by
highlighting this parameter, pressing the EDIT key, then pressing ENTER to toggle
the setting to ON. This will put a reference run into the run queue. The setting will
return to OFF once the reference run has completed. Note that a reference run will
not initiate if Alarm 1 or the PAA are currently triggered it will wait in the run queue
until the alarm condition has completely cleared. Ensure that the calibration gas is
hooked up to the calibration port prior to initiating a reference run. The reference run
can also be initiated, and the displayed name for this run can be changed from the
GUI (5.3.5.4). Note than a Reference run can initiated from the keypad ONLY if the
Conditional checkbox in the Reference stream page in the GUI has a checkmark in
it.

This parameter allows the user to initiate a zero run. By default this is set to OFF. A
zero run can be initiated by highlighting this parameter, pressing the EDIT key, then
pressing ENTER to toggle the setting to ON. This will put a zero run into the run
queue. The setting will return to OFF once the zero run has completed. Note that a
zero run will not initiate if Alarm 1 or the PAA are currently triggered it will wait in the
run queue until the alarm condition has completely cleared. Ensure that the zero gas
concentration has been correctly entered and that the zero gas is hooked up to the
correct port prior to initiating a zero run. The zero run can also be initiated, and the
displayed name for this run can be changed from the GUI (5.3.5.5). Note than a Zero
run can initiated from the keypad ONLY if the Conditional checkbox in the Zero
stream page in the GUI has a checkmark in it.
This parameter allows the user to acknowledge all current alarms, and by doing so
clear all latches at the same time. Clearing all latches can be accomplished by
highlighting this parameter, pressing the EDIT key, and then pressing ENTER to
toggle the setting to ON. This setting will immediately return to OFF. Clearing all
latches at the same time can be accomplished through the GUI by pressing the Reset
Latches button (section 5.2.1.2)
3.3.3 Analyzer Alarm List

The Analyzer Alarm List, accessed by pressing F2 from the main display screen, lists all
currently triggered alarms. This allows the user to determine at the site exactly what
parameters are currently in the alarm state without the need to log into the 802 with a
computer. A sample analyzer alarm list is shown in Figure 3-17.
Figure 3-17: Analyzer Alarm List

The analyzer alarm list shows all currently triggered alarms, stream related, global, and those
triggered by digital inputs. The screen also informs the user which stream triggered the alarm
if it is an analysis based alarm the first two alarms in the image have the title NORM:,
indicating that these alarms were triggered in the normal stream. Global alarms, such as
FURN, are stream independent and hence have no stream titles. If the list contains more than
4 alarms, the F1 and F4 keys can be used to page up and page down through the list. A more
complete list, including the time at which the various alarms were triggered and cleared, can
be found in the Event Log in the 802 GUI (see section 5.3.3).
3.3.4 Display
The Display Menu allows the user to choose how they wish to have their sensor output and
concentration values displayed. To access this menu, press F3 from the default display. This
will bring up a screen as shown in Figure 3-18.
Revision 1.2
3-36
21/08/2007
Figure 3-18: Display Menu

By default, the sensor output display, in the top right corner of the 802s LCD screen, is set to
output the net sensor output, starting from 0mV at the start of an analysis and increasing as
the stain on the tape gets darker and darker. If the user presses F1, however, they can output
the raw sensor output in the same location, which starts from 1000mV at the start of an
analysis and decreases as the stain on the tape gets darker and darker. To indicate that this is
what is currently being displayed, the units change from mV to LmV. To return to the standard
net sensor output display, simply press F1 again. This change can also be made through the
GUI by selecting Live mV Enable (section 5.3.4.1).
The main concentration display, in large numbers at the centre of the LCD screen, defaults to
displaying the concentration value calculated for the last completed analysis. However, if the
user wishes to see the concentration value that is continuously calculated during an analysis
cycle, they can choose to have the display the Live PPM value by pressing the F2 key. To
indicate that the concentration value is now being updated live on the screen, the
concentration units to the right of the numerical concentration display will get an L in front of
them. For example, if the concentration units were PPM, if the unit was set to output the live
concentration value, the displayed units would change to LPPM, as shown in the figure. To
return to the default concentration settings, simply press F2 again. This change can also be
made through the GUI by selecting Live PPM Enable (section 5.3.4.1).
3.4
Total Sulphur Option
The 802 is available with the option of being capable of measuring the total sulphur content of a
sample gas stream. It is not possible, however, to measure total sulphur and hydrogen sulphide
content on the same 802. The sample gas is mixed with hydrogen in a quartz reaction tube at a
high temperature of 900C. At this temperature, the hydrogen reacts with all sulphur components
to form hydrogen sulphide, and most hydrocarbons to form methane. The hydrocarbon reactions
are known as cracking reactions. The conversion of total sulphur to hydrogen sulphide is covered
in ASTM Method D4468-85: Total Sulphur in Gaseous Fuels by Hydrogenolysis and Rateometric
Colorimetry. A few common reactions are shown in Table 3-10.

Because the sulphur compounds are all converted into hydrogen sulphide, a measurement of the
hydrogen sulphide content formed by these hydrogenation reactions will be directly equivalent to
the total sulphur content in the sample gas stream.
The total sulphur reaction takes place in an external total sulphur furnace that is mounted below
the electronics enclosure. The total sulphur furnace is shown in Figure 3-19.
Figure 3-19: Total Sulphur Furnace

The total sulphur furnace operates on 110VAC, so 802 total sulphur analyzers cannot be powered
by 24VDC power supplies. The temperature is controlled by modulating the power output to the
furnace from the I/O board in the electronics enclosure. This modulation is set up in the GUI see
section 5.3.4.1. The temperature is monitored using a temperature switch wired into digital input 1
on the 802 I/O board. If the temperature in the furnace drops below the temperature set point for
any reason, the digital input will trigger an alarm. Note that when the furnace is at full operating
temperature, the outside surface of the furnace enclosure will be hot and should not be touched.
3.5
Sample Conditioning System
The sample conditioning system is an optional accessory that filters the sample gas and lowers it
to a pressure suitable for use in the 802. A typical sample conditioning system is seen in Figure
3-20.
Revision 1.2
3-38
21/08/2007
Figure 3-20: Typical Sample Conditioning System

The sample conditioning system generally consists of some kind of filtration the type depends
on the composition and conditions of the sample gas, a pressure regulator to regulate the sample
down to 15psig, and a valve to switch between calibration and sample gas to allow the 802 to be
calibrated. The filter generally has a sample sweep associated with it. Sample gas is usually taken
off the bottom of the regulator to drive the power vent. The calibration valve can be either a
manual 3-way valve or a solenoid controlled by the 802.
Total sulphur sample conditioning systems have two additional components rotameters to
control the flow of sample and the flow of hydrogen. The flow of hydrogen is set significantly
higher than the flow of sample to allow for complete reaction in the total sulphur furnace.
Revision 1.2
3-39
21/08/2007
Section 4 Operation
The 802 is capable of measuring hydrogen sulphide using two measurement methods. The first
method is the same time-based analysis method used in previous models of Galvanic lead acetate
tape analyzers. The second method, the standard analysis, is a new patent-pending analysis method
that improves repeatability, linearity, and dynamic range. The 802 is has four total analysis modes
normal analysis, which is analysis of the customers sample gas; calibration, which produces a new
gain factor for the 802; zero reference, which determines the zero offset of the 802; and reference,
which checks the current calibration of the 802. Each analysis mode also has certain alarming
capabilities, regardless of which analysis method is chosen.
4.1
Event Sequence
There is a set sequence of events that occur during an analysis, regardless of the analysis method
used and the type of stream being analyzed. These events are outlined in Table 4-1.

This event only occurs if the 802 has switched analysis run
types (e.g. from normal to calibration) directly prior to the
current analysis. The sample system is purged for a given
amount of time, set in the GUI (section 5.3.4.1) prior to
initiating analysis on the new run type.
The tape is advanced until a new section of white tape is
available for analysis. Sets the photodiode detector output
to 1000mV by adjusting the sensor current.
Sets the 1000mV standard photodiode detector output on
white tape equal to 0mV.
This event differs between the Standard Analysis and the
Time-based analysis. The two versions of the Sample Delay
will be covered in their respective sections standard
analysis (Section 4.2.1) and timed analysis (Section 4.3.1)
The concentration is calculated. At the end of the sample
interval the analog outputs and MODBUS registers are
updated, and any alarm conditions reported.

Standard Analysis
The standard analysis method produces highly linear results with a large dynamic range. The
standard analysis has two parts the Sample Delay and the Sample Interval. The cycle time is
generally the sum of the sample delay time and the sample interval time, though there is one other
parameter, the Tape Saturation Cutoff (TSC) that may affect the length of the analysis.
4.2.1 Sample Delay Standard Analysis

After the tape is advanced and the sensor block is looking at a fresh section of clean white
tape, a new analysis cycle will begin with the sample delay. The sample delay in the standard
analysis is a short time period where the 802 simply disregards all of the sensor data coming
from the sensor block. That is to say, any concentration readings calculated in this first few
seconds of time are not held in memory. However, they still can trigger the PAA alarm. This is
done because in the standard analysis, the first few seconds of data is of little value as there
is a significant amount of noise in the signal at the very beginning of an analysis. After a few
seconds, the noise settles down significantly. The sample delay, by default set to ten seconds,
Revision 1.2
4-40
21/08/2007
prevents this noise from negatively affecting results. The sample delay can be set in the GUI
(section 5.3.5.1.1) to any time period of the users choosing, but it is recommended that this
value be left at the default value for the best possible results.
4.2.2 Sample Interval Standard Analysis

As soon as the sample delay time has elapsed, the 802 moves into the sample interval time.
During the sample interval, the concentration of hydrogen sulphide in the sample stream is
continually calculated and compared against the PAA Alarm set point. If at any time during the
sample interval the calculated concentration exceeds the PAA alarm set point, the PAA Alarm
is immediately triggered. See section 4.4.1.2 for more information on the PAA alarm and other
stream alarms. The sample interval time set in the GUI (section 5.3.5.1.1) is the maximum
amount of time the 802 can remain in the sample interval mode. Once the sample interval time
is reached, the 802 will automatically cease the current analysis, calculate the concentration
value for the analysis, update all outputs, advance the tape, recalibrate the sensor block, and
begin a new analysis cycle.
4.2.3 Tape Saturation Cut-off (TSC)

The tape saturation cut-off is the sensor output at which the 802 will automatically cease the
current analysis, calculate the concentration value for the current analysis, update all outputs,
advance the tape, recalibrate the sensor block, and begin a new analysis cycle. The TSC
takes precedence over the sample interval time for completion of an analysis that is to say, if
the sensor output reaches the TSC prior to the completion of the sample interval time, the
analysis will be considered to be complete. Thus, the sum of the sample delay and sample
interval times in the standard analysis mode is only a maximum cycle time value. The actual
cycle time could potentially be shorter. To have a better chance of the maximum cycle time
being the actual cycle time, the TSC value should be set to a very high value in the GUI
(section 5.3.5.1.1). By default, this is how the 802 is configured at the factory. Setting the TSC
value to a high level makes it much more likely that the analysis time will reach the end of the
sample interval prior to reaching the TSC.
4.2.4 Calculation of Concentration Value

The concentration value displayed on the 802s LCD screen, analog outputs, and in MODBUS
is calculated during the sample interval. This value is then output to the 802 LCD screen, the
analog output, and MODBUS. The Gain Factor, which is a numerical factor that converts the
sensor signal into a concentration reading, is either manually entered into the GUI (section
5.3.5.1), through the keypad (section 3.3.2), or calculated automatically in a calibration run
(section 4.4.2).
4.3
Timed Analysis
The timed analysis method is the same analysis method that was found on previous Galvanic lead
acetate tape analyzer models the 801 and 902. This method is useful for customers who desire
static and well defined analysis times above all else. The algorithm used to calculate the
concentration in the timed analysis is different from the one used in the standard analysis.
4.3.1 Sample Delay Timed Analysis

The sample delay on the timed analysis method is much longer than the sample delay on the
standard analysis method. As before, once the tape has advanced and the sensor block is
now looking at a fresh section of white tape, the analysis begins with the sample delay. During
the sample delay on the timed analysis, the 802 is continually calculating a live concentration
value. The live concentration value is compared to the PAA alarm set point, and if at any time
Revision 1.2
4-41
21/08/2007
the live concentration value exceeds the PAA alarm set point, the PAA alarm is immediately
triggered. However, if the live concentration does not exceed the PAA alarm set point, the live
concentration value is not stored in memory and is instead discarded. The sample delay can
be set in the GUI (section 5.3.5.1.1) to any time period of the users choosing, though the
default value of 140 seconds is usually ideal for a timed analysis.
4.3.2 Sample Interval Timed Analysis

The sample interval on the timed analysis method is where the actual concentration
measurement is carried out. The sample interval time set in the GUI (section 5.3.5.1.1) can be
set to any value of the users choosing, though the default value of 30 seconds is usually ideal
for the timed analysis. Once the sample interval time is reached, the 802 will automatically
cease the current analysis, calculate the concentration value for the analysis, update all
outputs, advance the tape, recalibrate the sensor block, and begin a new analysis cycle.
4.4
Analysis Modes
The 802 has four analysis modes, or run types that can be selected for operation at any time.
They are normal, calibration, reference, and zero. The length of the sample delay and sample
interval, as well as the magnitude of the tape saturation cut-off point, can be set independently for
each type of stream. These are set through the GUI see the Streams section 5.3.5.1.1. This will
allow either tape conservation or rapid updates (with the downside of increased tape consumption)
in the normal analysis and shorter analysis cycles for calibration, reference, and zero, reducing
both down-time for non-normal analysis cycles and reducing calibration gas consumption.. Each
stream type also has certain alarm types associated with it.
4.4.1 Normal Run

The Normal run is the most commonly used of the four run types on the 802. This is the run
type that will allow the user to monitor the concentration of hydrogen sulphide in their actual
process gas. By default, this run is set to continuously operate, with interruptions only in the
case of other runs being triggered to run.
4.4.1.1
Alarm 1
Alarm 1 is an alarm that triggers when the calculated concentration at the end of a cycle
is higher than the Alarm 1 set point. The alarm 1 set point can be set either through the
OPER menu from the keypad (section 3.3.1) or through the GUI (section 5.3.5.2.3). The
802 compares the final calculated concentration at the end of the sample interval with the
alarm 1 set point value. If the value of the calculated concentration is higher than the
alarm set point value, the alarm will be triggered, the alarm LED on the front panel will turn
on, the event will be listed in the Event Log and on the Analyzer Alarm list on the 802s
LCD screen, and any outputs associated with this alarm will also be triggered. Once the
concentration of the normal stream drops back below the Alarm 1 set point, the alarm LED
will turn off, Alarm 1 will be cleared from the Analyzer Alarm List, and any unlatched
outputs associated with Alarm 1 will return to their non-triggered state. Any latched
outputs associated with this alarm will have to be manually cleared through the GUI
(section 5.3.7).
4.4.1.2
Predictive Alarm Analysis (PAA)
The Predictive Alarm Analysis (PAA) alarm mode is an alarm mode that triggers when the
live calculated concentration at any point during the analysis cycle (except for the sample
delay on the standard analysis method) exceeds the PAA alarm set point. When the 802
enters PAA mode, the concentration displayed on the 802s LCD screen immediately
begins to update with the live concentration value once per second. In addition, any
Revision 1.2
4-42
21/08/2007
analog output or MODBUS register that is currently outputting the stream 1 normal
concentration value will also output the live value of the concentration once per second
while the 802 is in PAA mode. The PAA mode will clear as soon as the concentration of
the gas stream drops back below the PAA alarm set point. The PAA alarm set point can
be set either through the OPER menu from the keypad (section 3.3.1) or through the GUI
(section 5.3.5.2.3). When the 802 is in PAA mode, this alarm will be listed in the Analyzer
Alarm list, as well as in the Event Log, and the red ALARM LED on the front panel of the
802 will also be lit. Any outputs associated with this alarm mode will also be triggered.
Once the concentration of the normal stream drops back below the PAA set point, the
alarm LED will turn off, PAA will be cleared from the Analyzer Alarm List, and any
unlatched outputs associated with PAA will return to their non-triggered state. Any latched
outputs associated with this alarm will have to be manually cleared through the GUI
(section 5.3.7).
4.4.2 Calibration Run

The Calibration run is the run that calculates the Gain Factor and allows the analyzer to
correctly convert signals from the sensor block into an understandable concentration reading.
The calibration run consists of one or more analysis cycles, the number of which is user
configurable. The user has the ability to set how many total cycles are included in the
calibration run, and how many of those cycles are used to calculate the new gain factor
through the GUI (Section 5.3.5.3). By default, the first analysis cycle in the calibration run is
not included in the calculation of the new gain factor. To calculate the new gain factor, the 802
takes the average concentration reading of the cycles that the user has selected to use in this
calculation. It compares this average number to the calibration gas value either entered
through the GUI or the keypad, and then multiplies the gain by a certain value so that the
average value becomes equal to the calibration gas value. It is also important to note that the
zero offset, should it be of a value greater than 0, will also automatically change to reflect the
change in gain factor. For example, if the gain were to change down by a value of 10%, the
zero offset would also decrease in value by 10%.
The calibration run can be initiated in several ways. It can be initiated from the MNT menu
using the keypad (Section 3.3.2), remotely via a button connected to a digital input (section
5.3.6), or manually or on a timed schedule via the GUI (section 5.3.5.3). The Condition
checkbox in the Calibration stream tab in the Stream window (section 5.3.5.3) must be
checked in order to initiate a calibration by any of these methods. Note that regardless of how
the analysis is triggered, it is essential that a calibration gas cylinder be correctly connected to
the calibration port on the 802 and that the correct concentration value be entered into the 802
via the keypad or GUI. Also, the auto-calibration solenoid, if the 802 is so equipped, must be
configured to turn on when a calibration run is initiated.
Regardless of how the calibration run was triggered, it will NOT run if the 802 Normal run is
currently in Alarm 1 or PAA alarm condition. It will be entered into a run queue and will only
run once the alarm condition(s) on the normal run has cleared.
4.4.2.1
Calibration % Deviation Alarm
The Deviation alarm is an alarm that triggers if the newly calculated calibration gain
differs from the calibration gain in the 802s memory by more than a user-selected
percentage value (set in the GUI). If the calibration gain changes by more than this
amount, the % Deviation alarm will be triggered. This alarm will trigger any output
associated with it, and it will be logged in the Event Log and in the Analyzer Alarm List on
the 802s LCD screen. The new calculated gain factor will not be stored in memory, and
the 802 will continue to operate using the previous gain factor. Possible causes of a %
deviation alarm being triggered include an empty calibration gas cylinder, a calibration
cylinder that is not present, or an incorrectly entered calibration gas concentration value. If
Revision 1.2
4-43
21/08/2007
a Deviation Alarm is observed, a manual calibration should be performed on-site to verify

the performance of the 802.
4.4.3 Zero Run

The Zero run is the run that calculates the 802s zero offset. The 802 will not likely read
exactly 0.0 on a gas that contains no hydrogen sulphide. The zero offset is a numerical
parameter that is subtracted from every reading the 802 makes, and is calculated by running a
Zero run on a sample gas stream that contains no hydrogen sulphide. Like the calibration run,
the zero is usually taken as an average of multiple results. The user has the ability to set how
many total cycles are included in the zero run, and how many of those cycles are used to
calculate the new zero offset through the GUI (Section 5.3.5.5). By default, the first analysis
cycle in the zero run is not included in the calculation of the new zero offset. The reading on
zero gas is averaged over the user selected number of analysis cycles. This average then
becomes the new zero offset, and is subtracted from every analysis result on every stream
type. The zero offset is recalculated automatically by the 802 whenever the gain factor is
updated, either manually or in a calibration run.
The zero run can be initiated in several ways. It can be initiated from the MNT menu using the
keypad (Section 3.3.2), remotely via a button connected to a digital input (section 5.3.6), or
manually or on a timed schedule via the GUI (section 5.3.5.5). The Condition checkbox in the
Zero stream tab in the Stream window (section 5.3.5.5) must be checked in order to initiate a
calibration by any of these methods. Note that regardless of how the analysis is triggered, it is
essential that a gas cylinder containing a gas with no hydrogen sulphide (such as ultra pure
nitrogen), or clean instrument air, be correctly connected to the calibration port on the 802 and
that the correct concentration value, most likely 0, be entered into the 802 via the keypad or
GUI. Also, the auto-zero solenoid, if the 802 is so equipped, must be configured to turn on
when a zero run is initiated.
Regardless of how the zero run was triggered, it will NOT run if the 802 Normal run is currently
in Alarm 1 or PAA alarm condition. It will be entered into a run queue and will only run once
the alarm condition(s) on the normal run has cleared.
4.4.3.1
Zero % Deviation Alarm
Like the calibration % deviation alarm, the Zero % Deviation alarm is triggered if the
newly calculated zero offset differs from the zero offset stored in memory by more than a
user-set percentage value, set in the GUI. If the zero offset changes by more than this
amount, the % Deviation alarm will be triggered. This alarm will trigger any output
associated with it, and it will be logged in the Event Log and in the Analyzer Alarm List on
the 802s LCD screen. The new calculated zero offset will not be stored in memory, and
the 802 will continue to operate using the previous zero offset. Possible causes of a %
deviation alarm being triggered include an empty zero gas cylinder, a zero gas cylinder
that is not present, or use of a gas cylinder for zero that contains a measurable
concentration of hydrogen sulphide. If a Deviation Alarm is observed, a manual zero run
should be performed on-site to verify the performance of the 802.
4.4.4 Reference Run

The Reference run is a run that is used to validate an existing calibration on the 802. The 802
is run on a sample gas that contains a known concentration of hydrogen sulphide. If the
reading obtained on a single analysis cycle, or an average of multiple analysis cycles, is close
to the known concentration of the gas stream (within 2% of the cylinder concentration), it can
be said that the calibration is still valid. If it is not, then it is time to run a calibration run to
recalculate the gain factor. Typically, the reference run is only run for a single analysis cycle,
Revision 1.2
4-44
21/08/2007
though the number of cycles to average and the total number of analysis cycles per reference
run are user configurable through the GUI.
Like the calibration and zero runs, the reference run can be initiated in several ways. It can be
initiated from the MNT menu using the keypad (Section 3.3.2), remotely via a button
connected to a digital input (section 5.3.6), or manually or on a timed schedule via the GUI
(section 5.3.5.4). The Condition checkbox in the Reference stream tab in the Stream window
(section 5.3.5.4) must be checked in order to initiate a calibration by any of these methods.
Note that regardless of how the analysis is triggered, it is essential that a gas cylinder
containing a known concentration of hydrogen sulphide be hooked up to the correct port,
usually the calibration port, on the 802 sample system.
Regardless of how the reference run was triggered, it will NOT run if the 802 Normal run is
currently in Alarm 1 or PAA alarm condition. It will be entered into a run queue and will only
run once the alarm condition(s) on the normal run has cleared.
4.4.4.1
Reference % Deviation Alarm
The Reference % Deviation alarm is triggered if the current reference reading varies
from the previous reference reading by more than a user-set percentage value. The
reference deviation alarm is reported on the Analyzer Alarm List on the 802s LCD screen,
as well as in the Event Log. It is important to note, however, that if the concentration of
gas used for reference in the current reference run differs significantly (i.e. more than the
percentage deviation value) from the concentration of gas used for the previous reference
run, the reference deviation alarm will be triggered even though the calibration on the 802
may still be valid. For this reason, it is very important that the concentration of gas used
for reference purposes remain as consistent as possible.
4.5
Bypass Mode
The Bypass mode allows users to make changes to the 802 changes such as changing the
tape, cleaning the sample chamber, or anything else that could cause an erroneously high
concentration reading. When Bypass is enabled, either through the GUI (section 5.2.1.2) or the
keypad (section 3.3), all outputs switch to their fail-safe positions. The analog outputs will switch to
outputting their fail-safe current. The BYPASS LED on the front panel of the 802 will also blink
yellow as a visual indication that the 802 is in bypass mode. The reason for this is straightforward.
Replacing tape and working around the sample chamber can cause the 802 to read false high
concentration readings. If the 802 were not in bypass mode, these false high readings could cause
a plant shut-in when the alarm outputs related to these false high readings were triggered. This is
not a desirable situation.
IMPORTANT! It is very important to enable BYPASS any time any work is

being done on the 802! It is also important that bypass not be enabled while
the 802 is indicating any alarm conditions on the normal stream, as this will
disable any currently enabled alarm outputs.
If the 802 is left unattended in bypass mode, it will be unable to trigger
alarm outputs in the event of a true alarm condition, so it is essential that
the 802 be taken out of bypass mode after all work is completed. The 802
does have a Bypass timeout that disables bypass mode after a userconfigurable time period (configurable through the GUI section 5.3.4.1) but
it is worthwhile ensuring that bypass is disabled prior to leaving the 802
unattended after completing any work.

Section 5 Graphical User Interface

The 802 Management System Graphical User Interface (hereafter referred to as the GUI) that is
included with the 802 allows the operator to watch and configure all aspects of the analyzers
operation. The GUI is capable of communicating with the analyzer through USB, RS-232 (serial), or
High Speed LAN (Arcnet), and allows the user to set up MODBUS communications. The GUI requires
a Microsoft Windows compatible PC, with Windows 2000 or newer operating system installed.
This manual provides instructions on the installation, setup, and use of the 802 GUI. It includes
requirements and procedures for installation along with instructions for communication between the
802 analyzer and the computer used to configure and watch the analyzer. It also outlines the
procedures for calibration, configuration, and data acquisition.
5.1
Installation and Connection
5.1.1 System Requirements

Table 5-1 shows the system requirements for the 802 GUI.
Table 5-1: Computer Requirements for 802 GUI
Parameter
Operating System
Memory
Disk Drives
Serial/USB Port
Requirement
Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP are the only operating systems
supported by the GUI.
Minimum 512MB
A CD ROM drive is required to read the installation disk, and a minimum of
20 megabytes of space is required for installation on the PC hard drive.
More space will be required to save analyzer configurations and archive
data.
The 802 can be connected to the PC via either a 9-pin male serial
connector or via a standard USB cable (included with the analyzer). The
COM port used to connect to the 802 cannot be used for any other
purposes; otherwise connecting to the 802 will not be possible.
5.1.2 Software Installation

Insert the Setup compact disk that was included with the 802 into the PCs CD ROM Drive.
The disk should automatically load the setup utility and prompt the user as to how to proceed.
In the event that the setup utility does not automatically load, follow these instructions:
1. Press the Start button and then select Run from the Start menu.
2. Type in the drive designation for the optical drive (e.g. D:\) followed by setup.exe.
3. Press enter and follow the instructions given.
5.1.3 Connecting the 802 to the PC

There is a dipswitch on the 802 Display Board that selects between RS-232 (serial) and USB
connectivity. To access this dipswitch, open the 802 electronics enclosure. Unscrew the black
thumbscrew below the LCD display (between the LEDs marked Bypass and Alarm). Carefully
remove the white lamacoid. The dipswitch is just above the 802s LCD screen between the
LAN ACCESS and LAN DATA LEDs as shown in the close-up of the 802s display board in
Figure 5-1.
Revision 1.2
5-46
21/08/2007
Figure 5-1: 802 Display Board with Communications Select Dipswitch

If both switches are in the Up position (marked on the electronics board as RS-232), the
analyzer will communicate via RS-232. If both switches are in the Down position (marked on
the electronics board as USB), the analyzer will communicate via USB. Once the selection
has been made, replace the lamacoid back onto the analyzer.
If the PC is not configured with a USB port, connect the USB end of the USB-Serial cable
included with the analyzer to the USB port to the right of the LCD display on the front of the
802 (between the labels Rx USB and Tx USB). Connect the serial end of this cable to the
male 9-pin serial port on the PC.
If the PC is configured with a USB port, connect one end of the USB-USB cable included with
the analyzer to the same USB port on the front of the analyzer, and the other end of this cable
to an open USB port on the PC.
By default, the 802 is configured at the factory for communication via USB.
5.1.3.1
Installation of USB Drivers Windows XP
Once the USB connection has been made and the analyzer is powered on, Windows will
immediately detect new hardware. Ensure that the configuration disk that came with the
analyzer is in the PCs CD-ROM drive. If the PC is running on Windows XP, a balloon
notifying the user that Windows has found new hardware (802 H2S Analyzer) will appear
in the taskbar, and then a window like the one shown in Figure 5-2 will appear.

copy the required files, and then bring up one final window. Select Finish to finish the
installation.
Once the first installation is complete, the PC will identify a second piece of hardware (802
H2S Analyzer) that it needs drivers for. Repeat the above procedure to install this second
set of drivers. Once this set of drivers has installed, a balloon will appear in the taskbar
stating that the hardware is installed correctly and is ready to use.
5.1.3.2
Installation of USB Drivers Windows 2000
The installation of the drivers for Windows 2000 is similar to the Windows XP Procedure.
When the USB connection has been made and the 802 powered on, a window like the
one shown in Figure 5-5 will appear.
Figure 5-5: Windows 2000 USB Installation Screen 1

Click Next to proceed. The installation will proceed by bringing up a window like the one

Select Search for a suitable driver for my device (recommended), and then click Next
to move on to the next part of the installation process. The next screen to appear is shown
in Figure 5-7.

This screen asks the user where Windows should search for the drivers. Since the drivers
are on the configuration CD that came with the 802, put a checkmark in the CD-ROM
Drives checkbox and leave all the other checkboxes empty. Then press Next. The
installation process will search the CD ROM drive until it finds the correct drivers, and then
it will bring up the screen shown in Figure 5-8.
Revision 1.2

This screen prompts the user to install the driver that was found. To install this driver,
press Next. This will install the drivers. One final window will then appear that tells the
user that the drivers have installed correctly. Press Finish to complete the installation
process.
As with the Windows XP installation procedure, a second driver installation will be
necessary after the first installation procedure is complete. Follow the above procedure for
the second set of drivers. Once the second set of drivers has installed, the PC is ready to
communicate with the 802.
5.1.3.3
Determining the correct COM Port
Many modern computers have more than one COM port, so it is essential to know the
correct COM port to use to connect to the 802. The method of determining the correct
COM port is the same for both Windows 2000 and Windows XP. To determine the correct
port, go to the Control Panel of the PC. Double-click on System, and then open the
Hardware tab. Then click on the Device Manager Button. Scroll down in the device
manager until the node called Ports (COM & LPT) is seen. Expand this node by pressing
the (+) icon. Something like the display seen in Figure 5-9 should be seen.
Revision 1.2
5-51
21/08/2007
Figure 5-9: Ports Identified in Device Manager

The 802 installation should be visible as GALVANIC USB INTERFACE (COM x), where x
is a number. In Figure 5-9, for example, the 802 is installed as COM 7, 12, and 13. Note
that each individual USB port will have a different COM number, and will need to have the
drivers installed separately. This COM number will be used when setting up the
communications parameters (Section 5.2.3), so make a note of it.
5.2
Interface and Icons
The GUI is a Windows-based, point and click interface. When the software is first opened, the
screen shown in Figure 5-10 is seen.

5.2.3 Logging on to the 802

To establish a communication link between the computer and the 802, open the GUI by
double clicking on the Gas802 icon. Ensure that the communications cable is correctly
connected to both the computer and the 802. Also, ensure that any other Galvanic software
installed on the computer, such as the DIMAC Desktop or 902 software, is closed. Click on the
Communications Setup button at the top of the screen, and a window such as the one seen
in Figure 5-15 is seen.

Figure 5-15: Communications Setup Window

Select the correct COM port from the drop-down menu, based on the procedure outlined in
section 5.1.3.3. If using RS-232 or USB, the baud rate should be set at 9600. If the unit will be
communicated with via Modbus, set the Modbus Address field in the Communications
Options box to the desired Modbus address (valid range from 1 to 255). Alternatively, put a
checkmark in the All Stations checkbox, which will cause the analyzer to poll all possible
Modbus addresses. In the Timeouts box are two fields Backoff Timer and Retries. The
Backoff timer tells the GUI how much time, in ticks (one tick being 55 milliseconds), to wait for
a response from the 802 before retrying to contact the analyzer. If the communication link
between the 802 and the PC is slow or unreliable, perhaps because of a long distance
between the PC and the 802, it may be necessary to increase these numbers to allow for a
successful communications link. Otherwise, leave all other configuration parameters at their
default settings. Once the settings are correctly set, click on the OK button to close this
window. Click on the Logon button at the top of the screen to connect to the 802. If
communications is unsuccessful, ensure that a) the correct COM port is chosen, b) the correct
baud rate is chosen, and c) that the cable is securely connected to both the PC and the 802. If
changing the baud rate and COM port still does not result in a successful connection, please
call Galvanic Applied Sciences technical support and someone will assist you.
If the communications settings are correct, after the Logon button is pressed, a bar graph with
increasing length will appear at the bottom of the screen, showing the logon progress. This is
Figure 5-16: Logon Progress Indicator

Once this progress indicator reaches 100%, the GUI will bring up a dialogue box asking if the
user wants to enter Read-Only or Update mode. This dialogue box is shown in Figure 5-17.
Figure 5-17: Select Mode Dialogue Box

Pressing Read Only will enter a read-only mode. Pressing Update will prompt for a password
that must be entered before Update mode can be entered. The password is entered into the
dialogue box that is shown in Figure 5-18.
Revision 1.2

Figure 5-18: Update Mode Logon Dialogue Box

The password for the Update Mode is set by default to 2222. However, by following the
procedure in section 5.2.2.3, this can be changed to any value of the users choice.
5.2.3.1
Read Only Mode
Read Only mode is a mode of the 802 GUI that does not allow the user to write any
changes to the analyzer. It allows the user to look at all the screens and review all the
settings of the analyzer, but prevents the user from writing any changes to these settings
down to the 802.
5.2.3.2
Update Mode
Update mode is a mode of the 802 GUI that allows the user to make changes to any
setting in the GUI and write these changes to the analyzer. This mode is password
protected to prevent unauthorized changes to the analyzer. If the user originally logs into
the 802 in read only mode, it is possible to enter update mode by going to the Tools menu
and selecting Update. This will bring up the password request dialogue box. If the correct
password is entered, the GUI will then be in Update mode.

5.3.1 Watch Window

The Watch Window is the default main screen of the 802 GUI. The Watch Window allows the
user to see the status of many facets of the analyzer all at a glance. It is shown in Figure 5-19.
Figure 5-19: Watch Window

Right at the top in the centre of the screen are four large fields with the title Last Results.
These four fields, of which Normal is the largest, show the results of the last full analysis cycle
for each of the four analysis types. On the left hand side of the screen are 19 fields containing
data. These fields show the current values for many operating parameters of the 802. The
fields are explained in Table 5-6.

The GUI automatically polls the analyzer every 2 seconds, causing this page to be updated
continuously. This allows the user to be able to monitor the status of the 802 analyzer live.
5.3.1.1
Analysis Alarms
At the bottom of the screen is a box labelled Analysis Alarms. Within this box are 4
smaller boxes that are entitled Normal Run, Calibration Run, Reference Run, and Zero
Reference. Each box contains 3 or 4 labels next to circles. These circles are either green
or red. Green means that the given alarm is not on, while red means that the given alarm
has been triggered. Stream alarms are covered in sections 5.3.5.2.3 (Normal run alarms),
5.3.5.3 (Calibration alarms), 5.3.5.4 (Reference Alarms), and 5.3.5.5 (Zero Alarms).
5.3.1.2
Analog Outputs
The box labelled Analog Outputs shows the current output, from 4 to 20mA, of the two
analog outputs on the 802 electronics board. Analog outputs can only be configured from
the GUI, not from the keypad. Calibration of the analog outputs is covered in section
5.3.10.1, while configuring analog outputs to output certain data points and configuring
ranges is covered in section 5.3.5.2.2.
5.3.1.3
Relays
The box labelled Relays shows the current status of the four solid-state relays. The circle
beside each of the relay titles indicates the status. A red colour means that the relay has
been triggered, be it by an alarm or some other trigger, while a grey colour means that the
relay has not been triggered. Setting up the latching behaviour of relays is described in
section 5.3.7. Associating relays with various alarms and stream types is described in
sections 5.3.4 (Global) and 5.3.5 (Streams).
5.3.1.4
Solenoids
The box labelled Solenoids shows the current status of the four solenoid drivers on the
802 electronics board. If the analyzer is not configured with any solenoids, this box can be
Revision 1.2
5-60
21/08/2007
ignored. A grey circle beside a solenoid label indicates that the solenoid is de-energized,
while a red circle indicates that the solenoid is energized. Setting up the latching
behaviour of solenoids is described in section 5.3.7. Associating solenoids with various
alarms and stream types is described in sections 5.3.4 and 5.3.5.
5.3.1.5
Discrete Inputs
The box labelled Discrete Inputs shows the current status of the four discrete inputs on
the 802 electronics board. These discrete inputs can be such things as low-pressure
switches, oven temperature sensors (on total sulphur analyzers), or piezo buttons used to
initiate specific runs. A red circle beside a discrete input label indicates that the particular
discrete input has been triggered, while a green circle indicates that the particular discrete
input has not been triggered. Setting up discrete inputs is described in section 5.3.6.
5.3.1.6
General Indicators
The box labelled General Indicators indicates the current status of non-analysis related
alarms, as well as the status of relay latches. As before, a green circle beside each label
indicates that the alarm has not been triggered, while a red circle indicates that the alarm
has been triggered. If a latch has a red circle beside it, it means that that relay or solenoid
has been latched. Latches must be manually cleared (section 5.3.7) before the circle
returns to grey. See section 5.3.4.2 for more information on non-analysis related alarms,
and section 5.3.7 for information on setting up latches.
5.3.2 Archive
The archive is where data related to the analyzers operation, including live concentration
data, hourly averages, and other important data, is stored. When this screen is first accessed,
the screen appears as in Figure 5-20.
Figure 5-20: Archive Screen Prior to Downloading Data

It is necessary to pull all of the data out of the log prior to doing any data manipulation. To
extract data from the log, press the Read Archive from Analyzer button. The archive on the
802 analyzer is quite large, so pulling data from the archive can take several minutes,
especially if the PC is connected to the analyzer via a serial connection. Once the data has
been retrieved, the screen changes appearance and looks as in Figure 5-21, on the following
page. On the left of the data, there are 3 grey columns, titled Seq, Log Name and
Timestamp. Seq shows how many data points there are in the total log. Log Name tells the
user which log the data came from useful when the data is exported (section 5.3.2.3). To
look at another log, select the desired log from the pull down menu at the top left, with the
label Archive. For more information on the various types of logs, see section 5.3.2.4, Log
Setup. The Timestamp column shows the date and time when the data in a given row was
obtained. To the right of these grey columns are several white columns containing data. The
Revision 1.2
5-61

first row in the archive has data labels that identify exactly what data is in each column. The
column widths can be automatically scaled to fit the data by pressing the Auto-Size Columns
(
) button at the top of the screen.
Figure 5-21: Archive Screen after Downloading Data

The archive is set up at the factory to log the data points of the most interest to operators,
though the archive is fully configurable to log many more data points see section 5.3.2.4.
5.3.2.1
Graphing Data
The data in the white columns can be graphed by right clicking and dragging down to
select the desired portion of a given data column. Once the data of interest has been
selected, click on the button at the top of the screen with the label Graph Selected. This
will create a graph that shows the trend in the selected data, an example of which is

Figure 5-22: Charted Data

On the graph there are 3 blue dashed lines. The solid blue line in the middle shows the
average of the selected data, while the 2 dashed blue lines above and below the central
line show one standard deviation away from the mean in both directions. The solid blue
line is labelled in yellow boxes at both ends of the chart with the numerical value of the
average. The dashed blue line above the average is labelled with the numerical value of
the average plus 1 standard deviation, and the dashed line below is labelled with the
numerical value of the average minus 1 standard deviation. Below the chart are the
numerical values of the statistics the number of data points (samples), the average, the
standard deviation, and the standard deviation, in percent, relative to the average.
Directly above the chart are three buttons, whose functions are listed in Table 5-7.

Filtering Data
The data table can be filtered to show only certain data by clicking on the funnel ( ) icon
in the header on all but the Log Name column. Data can be filtered by date in the
timestamp column, and by using one of six numerical operators in any column containing
numerical data. The two types of filtering will be covered separately.
5.3.2.2.1
Filtering Data by Date
Clicking on the funnel icon on the right hand side of the Timestamp column header
will cause a pull-down menu to appear. This menu contains the following options:
[All] Selecting [All] will turn off any current filtering of data by date.
[Custom] Selecting [Custom] will bring up the dialogue box shown in
Figure 5-23.
Figure 5-23: Date Sorting Selection Dialogue Box
Revision 1.2
The dialogue box allows the user to choose a date range for the data that
they wish to display, starting at a certain date and ending at a certain date.
Today shows only data obtained on the current date.
Yesterday shows only data obtained yesterday.
This Month shows only data obtained in the current month.
Last Month shows only data obtained in the previous month.
5-64
21/08/2007
IMPORTANT: The date and time must be correctly set on the 802 for this filtering to
work correctly, as the timestamp on each row of data is obtained from the analyzers
internal clock.
5.3.2.2.2
Filtering Data Numerically
This method of filtering works best in the sequence number column, although it can be
used in any column that contains numerical data. In the header of the column to be
filtered, clicking on the funnel icon on the right hand side of the header will cause a
pull down menu to appear. The menu contains the options [All] and [Custom]. As
before, selecting [All] will cause any current numerical filtering of data to be cleared.
Selecting [Custom] will bring up the dialogue box shown in Figure 5-24.
Figure 5-24: Custom Numerical Filtering Dialogue Box

There are six numerical operators that can be used to filter the data, listed in Table
5-9.

When this operator is used in conjunction with a number, the data will
be filtered such that only data greater in value than the number
entered will be displayed. For example, if the expression >1000 was
entered into the dialogue box, the column will be filtered such that only
data with values greater than 1000 will be displayed.
be filtered such that only data lower in value than the number entered
will be displayed. For example, if <1000 was entered into the
dialogue box, the column will be filtered such that only data with
values less than 1000 will be displayed.
be filtered such that only data that is EXACTLY equal to the number
entered will be displayed. For example, if =1000 was entered into the
dialogue box, only data exactly equal to 1000 will be displayed.
be filtered such that only data ending in the number entered will be
displayed. For example, if *25 was entered, the column will be
filtered such that only data ending in 25 (e.g. 9.2929292925,
1.00000025, etc) will be displayed.
When this operator is used to join a string of numbers together, the
data will be filtered such that only data being exactly equal to each
number in the string will be displayed. For example, if the expression
1^5^7^12 was entered into a list of data containing the whole
numbers from 1 to 20, the only numbers in the list that would pass
through this filter would be the numbers 1, 5, 7, and 12.
When this operator is used to join two or more other operators in a
string, the data will be filtered such that only data that fulfills all of the
operators conditions will be displayed. For example, if the user wished
to display all of the data with values between 7 and 8, they could type
>7&<8 into the dialogue box. Note, of course, that this would filter out
values of exactly 7 and exactly 8.

5.3.2.3
Exporting Data
Right clicking on the archive data table gives the user several options for exporting data,
by printing or saving to a file. The file export options are listed in Table 5-10:
Load From File loads a previously saved proprietary data file (.dcar).
Save to File saves the data to a Galvanic proprietary format (.dcar).
Save as Packet CSV
Save as Legal CSV
Save as XLS - saves the data to a Microsoft Excel File
Copy Selection To Clipboard allows the user to copy a selection from the data
table to the clipboard to be pasted into another program, such as Microsoft Excel.
Copy Image to Clipboard copies an image of the table to the clipboard that
can be pasted into an image-editing program or into a Microsoft Word Document.
Hide Selected Column(s) hides one or more selected columns. If a table is
exported to a Microsoft Excel file while columns are hidden, those hidden columns
will NOT be exported to the file.
Unhide All Columns displays any columns of data that may have been
previously hidden.
5.3.2.4
Log Setup
To configure the 802 to log values in data points other than those set up at the factory,
press the Log Setup button at the top of the Archive screen. This will cause a pop-up
window as seen in Figure 5-25 to appear.
Figure 5-25: Archive Setup Window

As shown in the window, there are a total of 6 logs available. The logs available are:
Revision 1.2
5-66
21/08/2007
Log On Run the values of the data points logged in this log will update after
every completed analysis cycle.
Log Hourly the values of the data points logged in this log will update every
hour. The log is updated at the top of every hour.
Log Daily the values of the data points logged in this log will update every day.
The time at which the log is updated can be set in the Hour Taken column. The
log can only be updated at the top of the hour. Enter a value of 0 (midnight) to 23
(11pm) in this column.
Log Periodic 1 to 3 these three logs are empty by default when the analyzer is
set up at the factory. Any data point of the users choosing can be logged in each
of these three logs, at a frequency of the users choosing. The frequency of
logging, in seconds, is entered into the column entitled Frequency (Seconds).
Please note that the frequency of logging for each data point within a given
periodic log must be the same; that is to say, if one data point in Log Periodic 1
has a logging frequency of 1000 seconds, all the data points in Log Periodic 1 will
have a logging frequency of 1000 seconds.
On the left hand side of the Log Setup window is a tree that contains 7 nodes. Within
each of these nodes are data points that can be logged. Many of these data points are
static or rarely changed values that should not need to be continuously logged. The data
points of the most interest are stored in the two nodes called Non Persistent Analysis
Status and Non Persistent Status Entries.
Non-Persistent Status Entries contain data points such as the current
concentration readings for all four stream types (normal, calibration, reference,
and zero), the gain, status of various alarms and latches, and the status of digital
inputs and outputs.
Non-Persistent Analysis Status contains data points such as the live sensor
output, hourly and daily minima, maxima, and averages, and the tape remaining.
To expand any node, simply left click on the (+) icon to the left of the node label. This will
expand the node to show all of the data points within that node. To put any data point into
a log, left click on the data point of interest, and while holding the right mouse button
down, drag the data point into the desired log. Once the left mouse button has been
released, the data point should become a row in the table for the log, and the change to
the log configuration will be automatically written to the analyzer. If the data point is in Log
Periodic 1-3, ensure that a frequency is entered for the data point. Note that changing one
frequency time within a given periodic log will cause all the frequency times in that log to
change to the same value. To remove a data point from any log configuration, simply right
click on the row to be removed, and then select the Delete Item option from the popup
menu that appears. Once all the desired changes are made, click on the Read from Unit
to ensure that the changes have correctly written to the unit, and then click on the (x) in
the top right hand corner to close the log configuration window.
5.3.3 Event Log

The Event Log window is a window that keeps track of all of the various conditions (alarms,
power on/off, configuration changes, digital input conditions, etc) that occur as the analyzer
runs. An example of the Event Log window is shown in Figure 5-26.
Revision 1.2
5-67
21/08/2007
Figure 5-26: Event Log

The Event Log is primarily used as a troubleshooting aid. If issues start occurring with the
analyzer, looking at the Event Log can help to track down the source of the issue. The Event
Log also gives a record of the types of alarms that have occurred during operation of the
analyzer, and when exactly they occurred. To obtain a full list of all of the Event Log records
from the analyzer, simply press the Read from Device button at the top of the screen.
As with the Archive data, records in the Event Log can be sorted according to date, following
exactly the same procedure as in section 5.3.2.2.1. Because the Event Log does not contain
numerical data, numerical sorting is not possible. However, it is possible to sort the Event Log
according to the type of event that caused data to be recorded in the Event Log. For example,
if the user wished to show all the alarms that had been triggered in the 802 since it began
operating, it is possible to filter the event column using the parameter =Alarm. This will show
all alarms stored in the Event Log.
The Event Log not only tracks all alarm conditions experienced by the analyzer, both global
and stream related, but also such things as changes in configuration and power up events. At
the bottom of the screen is a bar graph titled Event Log Memory Usage. This shows the
percentage of the Event Log memory currently used by the Event Log. When this number
reaches 100%, the analyzer will start writing over the oldest Event Log records with the
newest records.
5.3.4 Global
The Global screen shows parameters that affect all four analyzer streams (sample, calibration,
reference, and zero), as well as general parameters that are unaffiliated with the actual
analysis. The Global screen is shown in Figure 5-27.
Revision 1.2
5-68
21/08/2007
Figure 5-27: Global Screen

The Global screen is divided into two boxes General and Global Alarms.
5.3.4.1
General
The General box contains fields that affect the overall configuration of the analyzer. There
are 4 smaller boxes within this box, as well as several changeable fields and 4
checkboxes. Each field or box will be explained separately. Whenever any change is
made to a changeable field, the change must be written to the unit by pressing the ( )
button. If more than one change is made on the Global screen, it is not necessary to write
after every change, but all changes to the Global screen MUST be written before leaving
the screen.
Revision 1.2
Live PPM Enable - Putting a checkmark in this box will cause the analyzers LCD
screen to update live with the gas concentration as it is calculated within the
analyzer. When this checkbox is left un-checked, the screen will only update with
a new concentration value when an analysis cycle has completed. If Live PPM is
enabled, the concentration units displayed on the 802s LCD screen will have an L
in front of them i.e. if the concentration units are PPM, then the screen will read
LPPM if Live PPM is enabled.
Live mV Enable - Putting a checkmark in this box will cause the analyzers LCD
screen to show the raw sensor output, counting down from approximately
1000mV, rather than the sensor output that is adjusted to count up from 0mV. If
the Live mV is enabled, the units of the sensor output displayed on the units LCD
screen will change from mV to LmV.
Backlight Lock On - The LCD on the 802 has a backlight that causes the screen
to light up and be easier to read. If this checkbox is checked, the backlight on the
screen will be continuously turned on. This should only be checked if power
consumption on the analyzer is not a serious concern.

Timed Analysis Enable Checking this box will disable the standard method of
analysis (section 4.3) and enable the timed analysis method that was used on
previous Galvanic lead acetate tape analyzers. Because the 802 standard
analysis method is significantly more linear and has a broader dynamic range
than the timed analysis method, it is highly recommended that this box remain
unchecked. However, if a consistent cycle length is of the utmost importance,
timed analysis is the best way to ensure this.
Site Identification - This box contains three fields that contain the units unique
identification. The ID field contains the analyzers serial number. The Site field
tells the operator which site the analyzer is installed at, and the location tells the
operator where in the site the analyzer is installed. Do not change the ID field
under any circumstances unless instructed to by Galvanic service personnel.
Version The values in the three unchangeable fields in this box show the
current versions of firmware installed in the analyzer, the sensor block, and the
Rosetta that helps the GUI identify the data it reads from the analyzer. These
values are useful for diagnosing problems.
Bypass Timeout Bypass mode is a mode of the analyzer that disables any
outputs that may be triggered by alarms. This mode is useful for doing any kind of
service work that may result in inadvertent triggering of alarms. However, for
normal operation, it is essential that bypass mode be disabled. Thus, the 802 is
equipped with a bypass timeout. When enabled, by putting a checkmark in the
Enable box, bypass mode will automatically be exited by the analyzer after a
certain number of seconds after the last keypad button push. The length of the
bypass timeout, in seconds, can be set by the user in the Bypass Timeout (s)
field. By default, this is set to 450 seconds, and is disabled. When the 802 is in
bypass mode, the output from both analog outputs goes to the fail-safe output to
ensure that the user recognizes that the analyzer is in bypass mode. See section
4.5.
Furnace Pulse Width This field is only relevant for total sulphur measurement
(section 3.4). The furnace pulse width is the percentage of time that power is
delivered to the total sulphur furnace, and serves as a temperature control
mechanism for the furnace. IMPORTANT: It is essential that this number be set at
50% for analyzers running on 110VAC, and 12.5% for 220-240VAC. Any values
higher than these numbers could result in failure of the furnace element or melting
of the quartz reaction tube within the furnace. This field should not be changed
until after consultation with the Galvanic Applied Sciences service department.
Trend Filter Length This field determines the weighting the current reading has
in the calculation of the historical trend. The larger this number is, the smaller the
weighting the current value has in the calculation of the historical trend. The trend
is a form of data filtering that smoothes the long-term data to show a long-term
trend in concentration. This value should not be changed except after consultation
with the Galvanic Applied Sciences service department.
Purge Time This field determines the length of time the analyzer purges after a
stream switch. When a stream switch occurs, the analyzer will advance the tape,
then purge with the new gas for as many seconds as the number in this field, then
advance the tape again before starting to analyze the new stream. The longer this
number is, the better the results will be on the next stream. A minimum time in this
field should be about 30 seconds.
5.3.4.1.1
Tape Box
There are 4 fields in the Tape box that control the way the analyzer advances tape
between analyses. The first field, Stain Width, shows the width, in feet or metres, of
one stain on the tape. This field is calculated based on values in the next two fields.
Revision 1.2
5-70
21/08/2007
The second field, which is called Stain Width per Pulse, shows the distance the tape
advances every time the pulse counter (section 3.2.2.3) receives a pulse.
Calculating Stain Width per Pulse should only need to be done if the pulley on the
pulse counter needs to be replaced for some reason. Measure the diameter, in
inches, of the pulse counter pulley using an accurate set of callipers. Multiply this
number by pi to get the circumference of the pulley. Divide this number by 12 to get
the circumference of the pulley in feet. The Pulse Counter receives 256 pulses every
time it makes one full revolution, so dividing the circumference of the pulley in feet by
the number of pulses per revolution will give the length of tape advanced when the
pulse counter receives one pulse. This is expressed in the following formula:
Stain Width Per Pulse (feet) = ((Diameter (inches) x ) / 12)/256
The formula can also be expressed in metric as follows:
Stain Width Per Pulse (metres) = ((Diameter (millimetres) x )/1000)/256
If a metric value is entered into this field, the value in the Stain Width field will also be
in metric.
The Stain Width In Pulses box allows the user to choose how many pulses the pulse
counter should receive before stopping a tape advance. The larger the number in this
field, the greater the stain spacing will be. The smaller the number in this field, the
more overlap there will be between stains. By default, this number is set to around 40.
If the spacing is too great with a value of 40, reduce this number to around 37 and
check stain spacing again. Too much overlap between subsequent stains will cause
poor results. Too much white space between subsequent stains will cause faster than
desired tape usage. The maximum value that can be entered into this field is 99. If the
user enters a value higher than this into the field and attempts to write it to the 802,
the field will turn yellow, indicating that an invalid value has been entered. Enter a
value between 1 and 99 into this field.
The Tape Remaining field shows the amount of tape, in feet or metres, remaining on
the reel. This value is used for the Tape Length alarm (section 1.3.4.2) and for
outputting of tape length remaining on analog outputs and the analyzers LCD display.
It is ESSENTIAL that this field be manually updated whenever a tape is replaced to
ensure accuracy of the Tape display on the analyzers LCD and analog outputs. For
example, if the user is using a 300 foot lead acetate tape, it is essential that he or she
update this field to a value of 300 every time a new tape is installed. The value in this
field is correct within 1% on a 350 foot tape.
5.3.4.2
Global Alarms
Global alarms are non-analysis related alarm parameters that affect all streams
identically. These alarms are related to hardware and other physical parameters that
affect the operation of the analyzer. In many cases, the set point for these global alarms is
user configurable. Each alarm can be configured to a) be active or not active and b) to
trigger certain outputs, either solenoids or relays.
Sensor Current If the sensor current (section 3.2.1.2.1) rises above the setpoint value, the alarm is triggered, as there is likely a problem with the sensor
block. The set-point for this alarm is configured at the factory and should not be
changed.
Revision 1.2
5-71
21/08/2007
High Temperature The High Temperature alarm will be triggered if the

temperature experienced by the sensor blocks on-board temperature sensor
exceeds the set-point value, in degrees Celsius.
Low Temperature - The Low Temperature alarm will be triggered if the
temperature experienced by the sensor blocks on-board temperature sensor
goes below the set-point value, in degrees Celsius.
RTC Battery The Battery alarm will be triggered if the voltage from the on-board
clock battery, which maintains the analyzers real-time clock should the power fail,
drops below a hard-coded value. In addition, it will also trigger if the time and date
in the real-time clock varies from the time and date of the connected PC by more
than a certain amount.
Maximum Tape Advance The maximum tape advance alarm will be triggered if
the motor advances the tape more than a certain number of rotations without
getting a corresponding signal from the pulse counter that controls the tape
advance (see section 3.2.2.3). If this alarm triggers, it will generally indicate a
problem with the encoder. The length of the maximum tape advance can be set
by the user, but it is advised to leave this set at the factory default.
Maximum Analysis Time The maximum analysis time is an alarm that triggers
if the cycle time is longer, in seconds, than the value set in this field.
SensorComm The Sensor Communications alarm is an alarm that triggers if
the unit is no longer able to communicate between the motherboard and the
sensor block. If this alarm triggers, the unit will no longer function correctly.
Low Tape The 802 can be configured with an optional optical low tape sensor
(see section 3.2.2.4). If this alarm is triggered, it means that the tape is very low
and should be replaced soon. The Low Tape alarm, should it be installed, is
triggered when there is approximately 15 feet of tape remaining on the reel.
Tape Length A low tape alarm can also be triggered based on the amount of
tape that is calculated to be remaining by the pulse counter. The alarm will trigger
when the length of tape calculated to be remaining, in feet, drops below the
number set in this field. For this alarm to work correctly, it is essential that the
length of tape in the reel be reset to the correct length value (usually 300 or 350
feet) in the Global screen whenever a tape is replaced (see section 5.3.4.1.1)
Tape Movement If the pulse counter (section 3.2.2.3) no longer receives any
pulses when the tape is advanced by the motor, this alarm is triggered. Tape
Movement and maximum tape advance alarms may be triggered by the same
problem, so both should be watched for. Possible causes of a tape movement
alarm include tape breakage, jamming of the encoder, and motor failure.
Sensor Calibration If the 802 is unable to adjust the detector output to 1000mV
on white tape even after raising the sensor current to the maximum allowable
value, the sensor calibration alarm will be triggered. This alarm will typically be
triggered if the tape does not move correctly and the stain becomes exceptionally
dark before the next analysis begins, or if there is no tape present.
5.3.5 Stream
The Stream screen shows parameters that affect each individual stream, and all parameters
that directly affect the analysis. The Stream screen is shown in Figure 5-28.
Revision 1.2
5-72
21/08/2007
Figure 5-28: Stream screen

The Stream screen is divided into two parts the left hand side shows parameters that affect
all streams equally, while the right hand side is divided into four separate screens through the
use of tabs at the top of the screen. Each tab allows access into the configuration for each
stream. A green checkmark in the tab for a stream indicates that that stream is currently
enabled, will run conditionally (i.e. triggered by an external control), or is running on a timed
schedule. A red x indicates that the stream is disabled, and will not run under any
circumstances.
5.3.5.1
All Stream Parameters
On the left hand side of the screen are fields and boxes that tell the analyzer how to
calculate the concentration, as well as how long to run each cycle for, what type of
analysis to run, and what concentration units to display on the screen.
The Gain Factor is the parameter that the rate of change is multiplied by to get a
concentration. For more detailed information on the analysis and how
concentration is calculated, see section 4.2.4.
The Zero Offset is the value that is subtracted from all concentration readings to
give corrected readings. Zero offset is obtained by running the Zero stream,
which is usually run on a gas that contains no hydrogen sulphide, such as pure
nitrogen. For more information on the Zero, see section 4.4.3.
The Analysis Units field allows the user to change the units that are displayed on
the screen. This can be PPM, PPB, Mol%, or any other unit the user chooses.
Please note that changing the value in this field does NOT change the calibration
of the analyzer if the user wishes to change the calibration of the unit to be in a
different unit, they must use a calibration gas with a known concentration in the
unit they wish to display.
5.3.5.1.1
Sample Timing Method
Each individual stream (Normal, Calibration, Reference, and Zero) can be configured
with a different Sample Delay, Sample Interval, and TSC (mV). In this way,
Calibration, Reference, and Zero runs can be shorter than the Normal Run, allowing
for faster calibration, referencing, and zeroing. This is particularly useful if the analyzer
is not auto-calibrated, as the technician does not need to be on-site for as long to
Revision 1.2
5-73
21/08/2007
calibrate the analyzer. It also allows for conservation of calibration and zero gas, as
these gases do not need to be run for as long for each cycle. The sample timing
method is actually adjusted in each individual stream, accessed via the four tabs at
the top of the screen.
At the top of each individual stream screen are three fields Sample Delay, Sample
Interval, and TSC (mV). The combined total of Sample Delay and Sample Interval
fields, in seconds, is the maximum length an analysis can be. By default, the delay is
set to 10 seconds, and the interval is set to 230 seconds. Thus, the default maximum
cycle time on the 802 is 240 seconds, or 4 minutes. This can be changed by the user
to whatever maximum analysis cycle time they desire. If the Timed Analysis Enable
checkbox is checked in the Global page, the values in these fields should be set to
140 for the delay and 30 for the interval. The TSC (mV) is the sensor output, in
millivolts, at which the analyzer will finish a cycle and advance to a new piece of white
tape. TSC is an acronym for Tape Saturation Cut-off. If the sensor output reaches the
tape saturation cut-off before the maximum cycle time is reached, the analyzer will
consider the analysis cycle to be complete. Thus, the actual cycle time may be shorter
than the maximum cycle time, depending on the magnitude of the tape saturation cutoff, as well as the concentration of gas being analyzed and the configuration of the
analyzer.
5.3.5.2
Normal Run
A Normal Run is an analysis that is carried out on the sample stream. The Normal Run
screen is shown in Figure 5-29.
Figure 5-29: Normal Run Screen

The entry in the Name field is the name that will be displayed in the Current Analysis
field in the watch window. Below the name field is the Consecutive Runs field. This field
tells the analyzer how many times to run the normal run before switching to the next run
in the run queue. If no other run is enabled, the analyzer will simply continue running
normal runs until another run is triggered either conditionally or scheduled. By default, this
field is set to 1.
5.3.5.2.1
Switching
The Switching box allows the user to control what outputs are associated with the
normal run. There are 4 relays and 4 solenoids that can be controlled by the analyzer.
Revision 1.2
5-74
21/08/2007
Putting a checkmark in any of the relay or solenoid boxes will cause that relay or
solenoid to energize when a normal run is running. Note that relays 1 to 3 generally
are used for alarm indications, so it is inadvisable to use any of these relays to
indicate a given run.
5.3.5.2.2
Analog Output Managers
The Analog Output Managers box allows the user to set up each of the two analog
outputs on the 802 board to output a given parameter, as well as the range that each
of the two 4-20mA outputs is scaled to.
If the Enabled box is not checked for the given analog output, that analog output will
not be active for the normal stream.
The Description field allows the user to enter a text description for each analog
output that will be displayed on the 802s LCD screen.
The Function field is a pull down menu that allows the user to choose from a list of
parameters to output to each analog output. By default, analog output 1 is set to
display the live concentration reading and analog output 2 is set to display the amount
of tape remaining. The following parameters can be output:
The Gain Factor.
The Zero Offset.
The Stream 1 Cal. Gas concentration.
The Stream 1 Ref. Gas concentration for the reference run.
The Stream 1 Zero Gas concentration for the zero run.
The Stream 1 Norm Reading, which is the current concentration of
H2S measured in the sample stream.
The Stream 1 Cal Reading, which is the last result obtained on a
calibration run.
The Stream 1 Ref Reading, which is the last result obtained on a
reference run.
The Stream 1 Zero Reading, which is the last result obtained on a
zero run.
The amount of Tape Remaining.
The Sensor Temperature, in degrees Celsius.
The Sensor LED Current, in milliamps.
The Stream 1 Trended Reading.
The Stream 1 Hourly Average, which is the average concentration
reading taken over the last hour.
The Stream 1 Hourly Minimum, which is the minimum concentration
reading observed over the last hour.
The Stream 1 Hourly Maximum, which is the maximum
concentration reading observed over the last hour.
The Stream 1 Daily Average, which is the average concentration
reading taken over the last day.
The Stream 1 Daily Minimum, which is the minimum concentration
reading observed in the last day.
The Stream 1 Daily Maximum, which is the maximum concentration
reading observed in the last day.
To the right of each pull down menu are two fields which tell the analyzer how to scale
each of the analog outputs on the 802 electronics board. The left box field is entitled
Minimum and the right field is entitled Range. The value in the Minimum field is the
minimum numerical value that will be output on the analog output, and the value in the
Range field is the maximum numerical value that will be output on the analog output.
Revision 1.2
5-75
21/08/2007
Note that the scaling for the analog outputs depends on the value being output. If the
user wishes to change the values output on either analog output, he or she must
ensure that the scaling is correct for the chosen output. If the user is uncertain what
range to set a given output value to, please consult Galvanic Applied Sciences for
assistance. To calibrate and test analog outputs, please refer to Section 5.3.10.1.
5.3.5.2.3
Alarms
The Alarms box contains the configuration for the analysis alarms on the normal
stream. There are four types of alarm Alarm 1, PAA Alarm, %Deviation Alarm.
Each alarm can be enabled by putting a checkmark in the check box next to the alarm
label. By default, Alarm 1 and the PAA alarm are enabled for the normal stream. Both
alarm types have an associated field that allows the user to enter a set-point
concentration for each alarm. In addition, both alarm types can be configured to
trigger specific relays and/or outputs. To enable specific outputs for each alarm,
simply put a checkmark in the desired checkboxes in the Actions box.
The PAA, or predictive alarm analysis, is outlined in detail in section 4.4.1.2. The
%Deviation alarm is triggered when consequent runs vary from each other by a
greater percentage than the value set in this field. This alarm is generally disabled for
the normal stream, as it is of little value for normal runs it is expected that some
degree of variation in H2S concentration from analysis to analysis on the normal
sample stream will occur.
5.3.5.3
Calibration
The Calibration Run is set up very similarly to the Normal run, with a few notable
differences. The calibration run is set up to automatically calibrate the analyzer and
calculate a new gain factor. This calibration run can be triggered to start from either a
digital input or on a timed schedule. Note that the analyzer must be equipped with the
auto-calibration option in order to use remote calibration or timed schedule initiation of
calibration. The Calibration screen is shown in Figure 5-30.
Figure 5-30: Calibration Screen

Generally, the Calibration run should not have the Enable checkbox checked, as doing so
will use much more calibration gas than necessary. If the user wishes to calibrate the
analyzer remotely by using a push-button, the Conditional checkbox should be checked,
Revision 1.2
5-76
21/08/2007
and if the user wishes to have the calibration run initiate on a timed schedule, the Time
checkbox should be checked. If the Time checkbox is checked, the fields in the
Frequency field must be filled in. The Day of Week field tells the analyzer what day of the
week to run the calibration on. This value can be from 0 to 7, with zero telling the analyzer
to run the calibration every day, 1 being Monday, and 7 being Sunday. In the Oclock
field, an hour from 0 (midnight) to 23 (11pm) must be entered. In the Minutes field, a
number of minutes, from 0-60, can be entered. So, for example, if the number 6 was
entered in the Day of Week field, 21 was entered in the Oclock field, and 15 was entered
in the Minutes field, the analyzer would run a calibration every Saturday at 9.15pm.
IMPORTANT: If the user is using a remote or timed calibration, it is essential that the
analyzer have calibration gas correctly hooked up to the analyzer calibration port, and that
the correct calibration gas concentration value be entered in the Cal. Gas Concentration
field directly above the Frequency box (see below for more information). If not, the
analyzer will not calibrate correctly.
Below the three checkboxes at the top of the screen are four fields entitled Name,
Consecutive Runs, Runs to Average, and Cal. Gas Concentration. In the Name field
the user can enter a 7 character or less description of the Calibration run. This will be
displayed in the Current Analysis field in the Watch Window, as well as on the analyzers
LCD Display. The Name field for the Calibration run is set to Cal by default. In the
Consecutive Runs field, the user can set how many cycles to run during each calibration.
This is set to 4 by default. In the Runs to Average field, the user can set how many of the
consecutive runs to average. For example, if the Consecutive Runs field is set to 4, and
the Runs to Average is set to 3, the analyzer will average the values of the last 3
calibration runs to calculate the new gain factor. See section 4.4.2 for more information on
the operation of the calibration run and the nature of the gain calculation. In the Cal. Gas
Concentration field, enter the value of the concentration that is listed on the certificate
that came with the calibration cylinder. Getting a valid calibration is dependent on the
calibration gas concentration being entered correctly, so it is ESSENTIAL that the
calibration gas value be entered precisely as it is written on the calibration gas certificate.
A value of zero cannot be entered into this field if a value of zero is entered into this field
and the user attempts to write this value to the unit, the field will turn yellow, indicating that
an invalid value has been entered into the field. In addition, this value will not have been
written to the 802.
The Switching and Analog Output Managers boxes are set up identically to the way the
normal run is set up. Generally, Solenoid 1 is used as the auto-calibration solenoid, so the
Solenoid 1 checkbox should be checked for Calibration. By default, the analog outputs are
disabled for all runs except the normal runs, to prevent operator confusion. However,
should the user wish to output values from the calibration to analog output, they can do so
via the pull down menus in the two analog output configurations.
The Alarms box is configured similarly to the way it is configured for the Normal run. To
avoid accidentally triggering an alarm and shutting in the plant while the analyzer is in
calibration, it is advised that Alarm 1 and Alarm 2 be disabled for the Calibration run. The
%Deviation Enable is the alarm that is of most importance for the Calibration run. When
enabled, this alarm compares the current value for the gain to the new value of the gain
calculated during the analysis. If the new gain varies from the old gain by more than plus
or minus the percentage value entered in this field, the analyzer will trigger an alarm and
the new gain will not be accepted by the analyzer. This alarm is particularly useful for
analyzers that are calibrated remotely without a service person on site, as it will prevent
incorrect gains caused by such things as empty calibration cylinders or empty hydrogen
(on total sulphur units) from being entered.
As with the normal run, the alarms on the calibration run can be configured to trigger any
digital output the user desires. To initiate a calibration from the GUI, press the button
Revision 1.2
5-77
21/08/2007
marked Stream 1 Calibration. When this button is pressed, a confirmation box, shown in
Figure 5-31, appears to ask for confirmation of the intent to run a calibration.
Figure 5-31: Calibration Confirmation Dialogue Box

To run a calibration, simply press the YES button. If the Stream 1 Calibration button was
pressed by accident, simply press the No button.
Please note that if any analysis alarms have been triggered on the Normal run (i.e. Alarm
1 or PAA), any calibration run triggered from the GUI will be put into the run queue and
not run until the alarm condition(s) has/have cleared.
5.3.5.4
Reference
The Reference run is a way to check whether or not the analyzer is correctly calibrated. It
is configured in much the same way as the Calibration run, although this run only
displays the result of 1 run (or the average of 2 or more runs) on the same calibration gas
as used for the calibration run. It does not recalculate the gain as the calibration run does.
To determine whether or not the analyzer needs to be calibrated, run a reference. If the
reading obtained by running the reference is close to the certificate for the calibration
cylinder analyzed, then the analyzer is still correctly calibrated. If not, a calibration should
be run immediately afterwards.
The %Deviation Enable alarm on the Reference run is different from that on the
calibration run. The reference deviation alarm is based on the percentage difference in
reading from the previous reference reading. If the current reference reading differs by
more than the percentage value entered in this field, a % deviation alarm is triggered. This
indicates that a calibration should be run. To ensure that there is a good reference to
compare the % deviation alarm to, a reference should be run immediately after a
calibration.
All other settings are configured the same way as for the Calibration run. The solenoid for
the reference should be the same as the one for the Calibration, as the two runs both use
the same gas cylinder. The Reference run can also be initiated from the GUI by pressing
the Stream 1 Reference button and confirming the request in the pop-up dialogue box,
just as in the Calibration run.
Please note that if any analysis alarms have been triggered on the Normal run (i.e. Alarm
1 or PAA), any reference run triggered from the GUI will be put into the run queue and not
run until the alarm condition(s) has/have cleared.
5.3.5.5
Zero
The Zero run is a way to check what the analyzer will read on a gas that contains no H2S.
Running a zero run will result in a zero offset being calculated for the analyzer. The zero
offset can be set up similarly to the Calibration and Reference runs, as either a remotely
triggered or timed scheduled analysis. The Zero run is generally associated with a
different solenoid than the Calibration and Reference runs use by default, the Zero is
set to use solenoid 2. The Zero run can be configured like the Calibration run in that it
can be set to run several analyses and take the average to calculate the zero offset.
Revision 1.2
5-78
21/08/2007
It is important to note that a suitable zero gas is used for the Zero run. A suitable zero gas
can be ultra-pure nitrogen, or instrument air that is known to contain no H2S. If the zero
gas contains a significant amount of H2S, the ability of the instrument to operate correctly
can be impaired. If a gas with no H2S is unavailable, it is essential that a value reflecting
the accurate H2S concentration of the gas used for the zero be entered into the Cal. Gas
Concentration field. If the gas does not contain any H2S, the value in this field should be
set to zero.
The %Deviation Enable alarm on the Zero run is similar to the one on the reference run
it is deviation relative to the previously obtained zero value.
The Zero run can also be initiated from the GUI in the same way as the Calibration and
Reference runs. Please note that if any analysis alarms have been triggered on the
Normal run (i.e. Alarm 1 or PAA), any zero run triggered from the GUI will be put into the
run queue and not run until the alarm condition(s) has/have cleared.
5.3.6 Input
There are 4 digital inputs on the 802. The Input screen allows the user to configure these
digital inputs in any manner. These inputs can be configured to trigger a certain type of run, or
to monitor external pressure or temperature switches, for example. The Input screen is shown
in Figure 5-32. Each digital input is configured in the same manner. At the top of each digital
input is a field called Discrete Input (x) Name. The value entered in this field (alphanumeric,
maximum 6 characters) is displayed on the Watch Window screen. In addition, whenever a
digital input is triggered, this value will be displayed on the Alarm screen on the analyzers
LCD screen (See Section 3.3.3). Ensure the value entered in each name field is
understandable.
Below the name field are two checkboxes, one labelled Enable and one labelled Alarm. If the
Enable checkbox is enabled, the digital input is enabled and monitored. If not, the digital input
is disabled and will not respond to any inputs. If the Alarm checkbox is checked, the condition
of each digital input will be logged in the Event Log (section 5.3.3). Below the two
checkboxes for each digital input are three boxes, Polarity, Run Selector, and Actions. The
Polarity box contains two radio buttons labelled Active On and Active Off. When Active On is
selected, the input will be considered triggered if an ON (binary 1) signal is received from the
digital input. If Active Off is selected, the input will be considered triggered if an OFF (binary 0)
signal is received from the digital input. The Run Selector box contains 4 checkboxes that
allow the user to select what run should be associated with each digital input. By default,
Discrete Input 3 is configured to initiate a calibration run.
Revision 1.2
5-79
21/08/2007
Figure 5-32: Input Screen

The Actions box allows the user to associate outputs, both relays and solenoids, with each
digital input. Configuration of these actions is dependent on the users requirements.
By default, digital input 1 is configured as a temperature alarm for the total sulphur furnace,
named FURN, and digital input 2 is configured to read a low pressure switch, named PRESS.
Digital input 4 is not configured.
5.3.7 Output
The Output screen allows the user to configure the behaviour of the 8 outputs 4 relays and
4 solenoids - on the analyzer main electronics board. The Output screen is shown in Figure
5-33.
Revision 1.2
5-80
21/08/2007
Figure 5-33: Output Screen

Each output has two configuration points Fail Safe Position and Latch Enable. The Fail
Safe position is the position that the output will default to should the output not be triggered.
The Fail Safe position is also the position that the relays will switch to while the 802 is in
bypass mode. The Fail Safe position can either be Off or On. By default the fail-safe position
for both relays and solenoids is off. If an output whose fail-safe position is on is triggered by an
alarm or some other event, the output will then go to the off position.
The Latch Enable allows the user to latch certain outputs. If an output is latched, it means
that the output will stay in its triggered position until the user clears the latch, regardless of
whether or not the event that triggered the output has cleared. The state of a latch is indicated
by the coloured circle under the title Latch State. A grey circle indicates that the output is not
latched, while a red circle indicates that the output is latched. All latched outputs can be

5.3.8 Ports
The Ports screen shows the configuration of the 3 main communications ports on the 802
analyzer the Front Panel Serial Port (RS-232), the ISO 485 Port (RS-485), and the
MODEM Port (RS-232). The Ports screen is shown in Figure 5-34, on the following page.
The configurations of these communications ports are not user configurable. The purpose of
this screen is to show the user the communications settings for each of the three
communications ports to allow for successful communication between the analyzer and the
PC. Ensure that the settings on this screen match the settings entered in the communications
setup box in Section 5.2.3.

5.3.9 Modbus
The Modbus screen allows the user to set up the 802 analyzer to output data in 3 varieties of
MODBUS communication protocol Enron, Modicon 16, and Modicon Floating Point. As there
are a large number of possible configurations for Modbus, and every user may desire a
slightly different configuration, this manual will only cover the basics of Modbus configuration.
If the user requires assistance in setting up a Modbus configuration, the Service department at
Galvanic Applied Sciences Inc. will assist in configuring the unit as desired. To set up a new
Modbus list, press the New Modbus List button at the bottom of the screen. This will bring up
the dialogue box shown in Figure 5-35.
Figure 5-35: Create Modbus List Dialogue Box

The pop-up menu gives the choice of the 3 possible types of Modbus. Select the desired type
of Modbus list and press OK. When a new Modbus list is opened, one of three possible empty
trees appears in the main Modbus window, depending on the type of Modbus chosen. The
three possible Modbus trees are shown in Figure 5-36.
Revision 1.2
5-82

Figure 5-36: Empty Modbus Trees.

The Enron tree is at left, the Modicon 16 tree is in the centre, and the Modicon with Floating
Point Tree is at the right. The number in brackets after each node label indicates how many
data points are in each node.
At the bottom of the screen are two fields. One is entitled Modbus Type and tells the user
what type of Modbus list currently open. Note that the value in this field for Modicon with
Floating Point will read MODICON32. The other field is called Address, and the user must
input the desired Modbus address for the analyzer into this field.
5.3.9.1
Enron
An Enron Modbus list contains 4 nodes on the Modbus tree. They are Coils, Short
Integers, Long Integers, and Floating Point. Coils are Boolean data points that is to
say, they have a value of either 0 or 1. To that end, data points entered into the Coils
node would usually be data points that are simple status indicators, indicating the status of
a given alarm, input, or output. If the value of the data point is 0, the status of the logged
alarm, relay, etc, would be off, and if the value is 1, the status would be on. Short integers
are 16 bit whole numbers with either positive or negative sign. Long integers are 32 bit
whole numbers with either positive or negative sign. Floating point values are also 32 bit
numbers, but unlike the integers they do not have a sign, but they do have decimal points.
5.3.9.2
Modicon 16
A Modicon 16 Modbus list contains 4 nodes on the Modbus tree. They are Output Status,
Input Status, Input Register, and Output Register. The Input and Output Status nodes
contain Boolean data points. Data points in the Output Status node are able to be written
to, so the Output Status node can contain data points such as stream requests. If the
value in a given stream was changed from 0 to 1, the analyzer would then initiate that
stream. Data points in the Input Status node are read-only, so this node would contain
data points such as alarm, input, and output status that cannot be changed remotely.
Input Registers are data points that are read-only outputs of analyzer data, such as
calculated concentration. Please note that Modicon 16 only outputs data as 16 bit
numbers, so the display of decimal points in this type of Modbus list is not possible.
Output Register contains non-Boolean data points that can be written to remotely. These
would include such things as tape length, calibration gas concentration, and gain factor.
5.3.9.3
Modicon with Floating Point
Just like the Modicon 16 Modbus list, the Modicon with Floating Point (MODICON 32) list
contains 4 main nodes on the Modbus tree. However, the Input and Output Registers
contain sub-nodes. They are Register Short, Register Long, and Register Float. Thus,
the input and output registers can output data in 16-bit, 32-bit, or 32-bit with floating point
in the Modicon with Floating Point Modbus list.
Revision 1.2

5.3.9.4
Typical Modbus Setup
The default Modbus setup for the 802 uses the Modicon with Floating point format. Data
points are added to the Modbus list in much the same way that data points are added to
the Archive (see Section 5.3.2.4 Log Setup). Figure 5-37, on the following page, shows
a typically configured Modicon with Floating Point Modbus list.
On the left hand side of the screen is a narrower field entitled Available Points. In this
field are several expandable nodes. The nodes of most interest are Non-Persistent
Status Entries and Non-Persistent Analysis Status. These contain the data points that
are most likely to be output in a Modbus list, as they are the most relevant to the operation
and status of the analyzer. The following data points are output by default:
Stream 1 Normal Reading, which is found in the Non-Persistent Status Entries
node (expanded by pressing on the (+) sign to the left of the node label). This
value is the current value of the gas concentration in the sample stream
calculated by the analyzer. This value will update live every second if the analyzer
is in PAA alarm mode.
Gain Factor, which is found in the Non-Persistent Analysis Status node. This
value is the current value of the calibration gain, which is used to calculate the
concentration of the gas being analyzed.
System Alarm Status, which is found in the Non-Persistent Status Entries node.
The value in this entry, either 0 or 1, indicates whether or not any of the global
alarms (Section 1.3.4.2) have been triggered. If the value is 0, no global alarms
have been triggered. If the value is 1, a global alarm has been triggered.
Figure 5-37: Typical Modicon with Floating Point List
Revision 1.2
5-84
21/08/2007
Stream 1 Normal Alarm 1, which is found in the Non-Persistent Status Entries

node. The value in this entry, either 0 or 1, indicates whether or not Stream 1
Normal Alarm 1 has been triggered. If the value in this entry is 0, the
concentration of gas in the sample gas stream is below the Alarm 1 set point. If
the value in this entry is 1, the concentration of gas in the sample gas stream is
above the Alarm 1 set point.
Stream 1 Normal Alarm 2, which is found in the Non-Persistent Status Entries
node. The value in this entry, either 0 or 1, indicates whether or not Stream 1
Normal Alarm 2 has been triggered.
Stream 1 PAA Alarm, which is found in the Non-Persistent Status Entries node.
The value in this entry, either 0 or 1, indicates whether or not the analyzer is in
Predictive Alarm Analysis mode. If the value is 0, the concentration of gas in the
sample stream is below the PAA alarm set point. If the value is 1, the
concentration of gas in the sample stream is above the PAA alarm set point and
thus the analyzer is in PAA mode.
mV, which is found in the Non-Persistent Analysis Status node. This value is the
current sensor output of the analyzer, in millivolts, starting from 0mV at the
beginning of an analysis cycle.
Sensor Temperature, which is found in the Non-Persistent Analysis Status node.
This value is the current ambient temperature experienced by the sensor block,
and by extension the analyzer as a whole.
Tape Remaining, which is found in the Non-Persistent Analysis Status node. The
value in this entry shows the length of tape remaining in the analyzer.
There are several columns in the Modbus list table. The first is Modbus Items which
shows the Modbus list tree and the various data points that are in each node. Register is
the most important, as it shows the address of each data point. These addresses are
essential for setting up the device that will read the Modbus list, so it knows which data
point is output to which register. Type shows the type of each data point. Possible values
in this column include Boolean, unsigned long, and float. Most data points are either
Boolean or Float. Floats can be output in the short and long nodes, but the decimal points
will be lost. Certain data points have specific units associated with them, and these will be
shown in the Units column. If a data point does not have units associated with it, this
column will show a value of Unknown for that data point. In the Value column, Boolean
data points will have either a value of True (if on) or False (if off). Numerical data points
will show the value currently entered in the given data point. The Permissions column
shows whether a given data point is Read Only or Writeable. Writeable data points are
the only data points that can be written to remotely through Modbus.
5.3.10
Maintenance
The Maintenance screen is a password-protected screen that allows the user to test and
configure certain parts of the analyzers hardware. The Maintenance screen is shown in
Figure 5-38.
Revision 1.2
5-85
21/08/2007
Figure 5-38: Maintenance Screen

To test the hardware, the checkbox entitled Direct Board Control Enable must be checked.
This will allow any changes made on this screen to be written directly to the board. When the
checkbox is checked, the FAIL light on the 802s front panel will blink red, notifying the user of
this condition. Direct board control will automatically be disabled if the user changes to any
other screen in the GUI. However, it will not automatically be disabled should the GUI be
exited directly from the Maintenance screen without first removing the checkmark from this
box. IMPORTANT: If the 802 is left in direct board control enable mode, no outputs will be
updated during an analysis, so it is essential that this checkbox be unchecked before exiting
the GUI. The Maintenance screen allows the user to calibrate and test the analog outputs, test
the digital outputs, and test the pulse counter.
5.3.10.1 Calibrating Analog Outputs

There are 2 analog outputs on the 802. Each analog output must be calibrated
individually. To calibrate analog outputs, a multimeter set to measure milliamps must be
connected across the analog output, and the analog output must be powered, as the 802
motherboard does not provide power to the analog outputs. When the analog output is
correctly powered, a green LED will glow on the electronics board next to the AO terminal
block.
To calibrate analog output 1, connect the multimeter to the AO 1 terminal block. Press the
Calibrate AO 1 button. In the Analog Output 1 Calibration box, there are six useradjustable fields, arranged in 2 rows and 3 columns. The left column is called Zero and
the centre column is called Span, and the right column is called Fail-Safe. The top row is
called Scaled Value and the bottom row is called Raw Value. The Scaled Value for zero,
span, and fail-safe tell the analyzer what currents should be output to the AO when the
data point being sent to the AO has a value equal to its minimum or maximum output
value (configured in section 5.3.5.2.2), or when the analyzer is in bypass (fail-safe) mode.
Revision 1.2
5-86
21/08/2007
Press the Output Zero button. The multimeter should read exactly the value entered in
the Scaled Value field in the Zero column, usually exactly 4 milliamps. If the multimeter
does not read exactly this value, use the up and down arrow buttons next to the raw value
field in the zero column to adjust the current output to the analog output until it does read
the exact value of the scaled value field. Once the multimeter does read this exact value,
press the Output Span button and repeat the process. This time, the meter should be
made to read exactly the value in the scaled value field in the span column, usually
exactly 20 milliamps.
Finally, the fail-safe position should be calibrated. The fail-safe position is the value that
the analog output will output when the analyzer is in bypass mode, and is a value outside
the standard scaled range of the analog output. For example, if the analog output is
scaled to output 4 to 20 milliamps, the fail-safe value could be 3 or 21 milliamps. To
calibrate the fail-safe position, press the Output Fail-Safe button. Using the arrow buttons
beside the Fail-Safe Position field, adjust the value in this field until the meter reads 3
milliamps, or whatever the chosen fail-safe value is.
Once the analog output is correctly calibrated, press the Capture Calibration button to
write this new configuration to the analyzer. Then, test that the output works correctly
using the Analog Output Test box. Enter a value between 0 and 100 into the Test
(Percent) field and ensure that the reading on the multimeter is the same as the reading
in the Test mA field. If it is not, the calibration is not correct, and needs to be changed. If it
is, the calibration is correct. Press the Calibrate AO 1 button again to close this field, and
then press the Calibrate AO 2 button and repeat the process for analog output 2. Make
sure to move the meter to analog output 2. Once both analog outputs are calibrated, press
the Permanent Configuration Write to Analyzer (
new Analog Output configuration to the 802.
) button to permanently write the
5.3.10.2 Relays and Solenoids

The checkboxes at the bottom of the screen allow the user to engage and disengage the
relays and solenoids to ensure that they are working correctly. The coloured circles below
each checkbox show the current state of each output. Red indicates that the output is on,
while grey indicates that the output is off.
5.3.10.3 Tape Encoder Test

The Tape Encoder Test field shows if the pulse counter that is used to control the tape
advance is working correctly. If the pulse counter is turned by hand, a number should
appear in this field. If a number does not appear in this field, there is a problem with the
tape encoder. Please contact the service department at Galvanic Applied Sciences.
5.3.10.4 ArcNet Threshold (mV)

This value is relevant to high speed LAN (ArcNet) communication only, and should not be
changed without consultation of the Galvanic Applied Sciences service department.
5.3.10.5 Firmware Upgrade

At the bottom of the Maintenance screen are three buttons in a box called Firmware
Upgrade. These three buttons are used to upgrade the firmware on the 802 in the event
of improvements or changes to the firmware code. In this case, a new firmware file will be
provided to the user by Galvanic Applied Sciences. Upgrading the firmware on the 802 is
a 3 step process. First, press the Read Old Configuration Button. Pressing this button
Revision 1.2
5-87
21/08/2007
reads back the current configuration and saves it to a backup file. It will also bring up the
Firmware Update screen shown in Figure 5-39 as an overlay to the Maintenance screen.
Figure 5-39: Firmware Upgrade Screen

The Firmware Upgrade Screen shows a flow chart of the tasks that must be completed
before the firmware upgrade is complete. The steps in the Firmware Upgrade screen will
turn blue as they are finished, and the current task will blink yellow. Tasks yet to be
completed will be black. Once Save Old Configuration on the Firmware Upgrade screen
has turned blue, Step 1: Read Old Configuration will also turn blue. At this point, press
the Write Firmware button. This will bring up a window shown in Figure 1-39 that asks for
the user to tell the GUI where to find the new firmware file, which is a .bin file.
Figure 5-40: Open New Firmware File Window

Choose the correct firmware file and press Open. This will cause the new firmware to be
written to the 802. The GUI will then read back and verify that the new firmware was
written correctly before rebooting the 802 to start running on the new firmware. The read
and write process will take several minutes. The progress is indicated by the progress
meter at the bottom of the main GUI screen. Once this is complete, Step 3: Merge New
and Old Configuration on the Firmware Upgrade screen will blink yellow. Press the
Merge Firmware button. This will merge the previous configuration with the new firmware
so that it is not necessary to re-enter all of the configuration information in the various
screens of the GUI. Merging the firmware allows the 802 to continue operating as normal
immediately after the firmware upgrade is complete. Once the firmware upgrade is
complete, if the Firmware Upgrade screen does not automatically close, press Hide to
close the Firmware Upgrade screen.

Solution
1.
Compression head not correctly sealing.
Check the seal on the compression head (section

2.4)
Tape not seated properly
Remove tape and reinstall tape (section 2.3)
Stain is not well defined causing

erratic readings.
2.
Stain is uneven (darker at top or

bottom)
causing
erratic
readings.
Compression head not seated properly.
Loosen screws that hold compression head to

chassis. Adjust compression head so that it will
sit flush against sample chamber and check seal
(section 2.4)
3.
Stain is normal but readings are

still erratic.
Stains have too much overlap
Increase Stain Width In Pulses value in the

Tape Box of the GUI (section 5.3.4.1.1) by 5 so
that the stains are further apart.
Back pressure on analyzer vent.
Check eductor for proper operation.
Frozen vent lines due to high humidity in

area.
Make sure vent slopes downward.
Sensor Current is too high. This should be

accompanied by a Sensor Current alarm.
Lint in sample chamber causing light blockage.

Clean the sample chamber by following Step 6 in
section 2.4.
4.
Stains overlapping each other.
Insufficient pulses per tape advance to

allow correct stain spacing.
Increase Stain Width In Pulses value in the

Tape Box of the GUI (section 5.3.4.1.1) by 5 so
that the stains are further apart.
5.
Stains unevenly spaced (large

gaps between stains).
This
should be accompanied by a
Tape Movement alarm.
Pulse Counter not correctly connected to

sensor block.
Check that Pulse Counter connector on the top

right corner of the sensor block is correctly
connected.
Pulse Counter not rotating.
Check that the pulse counter capstan is rotating

when the tape advances. If not, the pulse counter
may need to be replaced.
6.
Total Sulphur readings are
erratic.

EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE

Not likely to be a problem, except in fire situation. However, effects may include headache, nausea, fatigue,
abdominal cramps and joint pains. Contact with eyes may cause irritation. Although not readily absorbed through
intact skin, an unprotected wound may allow entry into bloodstream.
EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE
May cause loss of appetite, colic with abdominal pain, cramps, nausea, vomiting, constipation and weight loss.
Red blood cell function and production may be impaired, possibly leading to anaemia. Effects on the nervous
system include forgetfulness, irritability, decreased sex drive and possibly impotence, dizziness and depression.
Progressive degeneration of the brain can occur with prolonged high exposures. Damage to peripheral nerves
can lead to weakness in arms, legs, wrists, ankles and fingers. Kidney damage may occur with long term
exposure. Evidence exists that long term exposure to lead compounds increases the risk of cancer. Exposure to
lead during pregnancy may cause increased risk of miscarriage and neurobehavioral effects on the fetus.
Exposure of males to lead may cause low sperm counts and other adverse effects on sperm.
