bleshooting of the analyzer must review and follow these Warnings and Cautions.
Warnings
Review and follow these Warnings to avoid personal injury or environmental contamination.
! All covers/doors must be tightly fastened with all screws and the Measuring Cell/Optical
Bench Assemblies must remain in place while the circuits are live.
WARNING
If installed in a hazardous classified area and it is necessary to remove/open the analyzer’s cov-
ers/doors while the circuits are live, first monitor the area for flammable gases and proceed only
when the area is safe.
! When the Analyzer Enclosure’s cover is off, take appropriate precautions to avoid electrical
shock. Hazardous voltages are present inside.
WARNING
! Always disconnect main AC power and/or alternate power sources (if used, i.e., for relay con-
tacts) to the analyzer before opening any covers/doors on the analyzer and before removing any
WARNING
components from the analyzer.
! All electrical connections, adjustments, or servicing of the analyzer should be performed only
by properly trained and qualified personnel.
WARNING
All electrical connections, materials, and methods (plus all safety policies and procedures) must
be made in compliance with local wiring regulations and electrical codes for the hazardous
area, as specified by the Owner Company, local electrical-inspection authority, and National/
EU regulations.
! Because ultraviolet radiation can harm your eyes, never view the light emanating through the
end window of the source lamp. If the source lamp must be viewed while energized, wear safety
WARNING
glasses that block the ultraviolet radiation.
Contents | ix
Cautions
Review and follow these Cautions to avoid damaging the equipment.
! If it becomes necessary to handle any of the electronic circuit boards, do not subject the boards
to static discharge. The ideal solution is a static-safe work area. Since such areas typically are
CAUTION
not available at field installation sites, the use of a wrist strap connected directly to a ground
is recommended. If a wrist strap is not available, you should at the very least touch the metal
chassis (to ground yourself) before handling or touching the boards.
! The electronic circuit boards and other static-sensitive components should be stored and trans-
ported in static-shielding carriers or packages.
CAUTION
! For electric-shock protection, the analyzer must be operated from a grounded power source that
has a securely connected protective-ground contact.
CAUTION
! When handling the source lamp, it is very important not to touch the window of the lamp be-
cause residual oils from the fingers will absorb ultraviolet light. The window is the flat surface
CAUTION
at the end of the narrow glass tube. The lamp assembly is fragile and should be handled with
care.

UV Source Lamps Disposal

AMETEK recommends that all UV lamps – whether they are new, used, or damaged in any way
– need to be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner.
Most UV lamps do not contain restricted substances listed under the European 2 directive.
However, special handling requirements are required for some lamps if they are broken. Two
examples include Cadmium and Beryllium lamps. Refer to a current Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) for handling any lamp where the glass envelope has been broken and which has ex-
posed the metal cathode in the centre of the lamp.
Contents | xi
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
 This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designated to provide reasonable protec-
NOTE
tion against harmful interference when equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communica-
tions. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the interference at own expense.
! Read and follow the recommendations in this section to avoid performance variations or dam-
age to the internal circuits of this equipment when installed in harsh electrical environments.
CAUTION
The various configurations of the Model 9900 Analyzer should not produce, or fall victim to, electromag-
netic disturbances as specified in the European Union’s EMC Directive. Strict compliance to the EMC Di-
rective requires that certain installation techniques and wiring practices are used to prevent or minimize
erratic behavior of the Analyzer or its electronic neighbors. Below are examples of the techniques and
wiring practices to be followed.
In meeting the EMC requirements, the various Analyzer configurations described in this manual rely heavily
on the use of metallic shielded cables used to connect to the customer’s equipment and power. Foil and braid
shielded I/O and DC power cables are recommended for use in otherwise unprotected situations. In addition,
hard conduit, flexible conduit, and armor around non-shielded wiring also provides excellent control of radio
frequency disturbances. However, use of these shielding techniques is effective only when the shielding ele-
ment is connected to the equipment chassis/earth ground at both ends of the cable run. This may cause ground
loop problems in some cases. These should be treated on a case-by-case basis. Disconnecting one shield ground
may not provide sufficient protection depending on the electronic environment. Connecting one shield
ground via a 0.1 microfarad ceramic capacitor is a technique allowing high frequency shield bonding while
avoiding the AC-ground metal connection. In the case of shielded cables the drain wire or braid connection
must be kept short. A two-inch connection distance between the shield’s end and the nearest grounded chassis
point, ground bar or terminal is highly recommended. An even greater degree of shield performance can be
achieved by using metallic glands for shielded cable entry into metal Electronics Enclosures. Expose enough of
the braid/foil/drain where it passes through the gland so that the shield materials can be wrapped backwards
onto the cable jacket and captured inside the gland, and tightened up against the metal interior.
Inductive loads connected to the low voltage “Alarm Contacts” are not recommended. However, if this
becomes a necessity, follow proper techniques and wiring practices. Install an appropriate transient volt-
age suppression device (low voltage MOV, “Transzorb,” or R/C) as close as possible to the inductive device
to reduce the generation of transients. Do not run this type of signal wiring along with other I/O or DC in
the same-shielded cable. Inductive load wiring must be separated from other circuits in conduit by using
an additional cable shield on the offending cable.
In general, for optimum protection against high frequency transients and other disturbances, do not allow
installation of this Analyzer where its unshielded I/O and DC circuits are physically mixed with AC mains
or any other circuit that could induce transients into the Analyzer or the overall system. Examples of elec-
trical events and devices known for the generation of harmful electromagnetic disturbances include mo-
tors, capacitor bank switching, storm related transients, RF welding equipment, static, and walkie-talkies.

Special Warnings and Information
Equipment Used in Hazardous Locations

Refer to Chapter 2 – Specifications for details about the suitability of this equipment in hazard-
ous locations. This analyzer must not be commissioned until a person trained in the area of
evaluating equipment for use in hazardous classified locations has confirmed that this equip-
ment and its installation are in compliance with the requirements for the area.
! Explosion Hazard – Substitution of Components May Impair Suitability for Class I, Division 2.
WARNING
! Explosion Hazard – Do Not Disconnect Equipment Unless Power Has Been Switched Off or
the Area is Known to be Non-Hazardous.
WARNING
All input and output wiring must be in accordance with wiring methods authorized for the area
classification by the authority having jurisdiction. The need for sealing glands must be considered
for connections made directly to the enclosure when the area is pressurized or when the sample
is toxic or flammable in order to avoid the possibility of transporting gas to another area by way
of these wireways. Although the probability of leaks of the sample system is very low, a fitting left
un-tightened during maintenance could allow hazardous sample gas to flow into the analyzer
enclosure and the wiring area. Tests have indicated that with the sample system completely discon-
nected at the rear panel, all covers/doors installed/closed and on a table at atmospheric pressure,
with an inlet pressure of 13 psi applied to both inlet and vent ports, the pressure in the enclosure
will rise to 0.5 mBar (0.2” WC). This is very low pressure and normally would not pose any hazard,
but the installer must consider that if the analyzer is installed in a sealed (Type 4 or IP65) enclosure,
pressure at the wireway ends could build up to a level as high as the sample system inlet.

xvi | Model 9900RM Analyzer

OVERVIEW
This chapter discusses the features and summarizes the operation of the
Model 9900RM (Rack Mount) Analyzer. It also provides an overview of the
sample system, electronics, and other analyzer sub-systems.
Theory of Operation
The Model 9900RM Analyzer measures the absorbance of ultraviolet radia-
tion (light) by a gas or liquid species. In the standard motorless filter (single-
species) configuration the analyzer measures at two discrete wavelengths,
while in the optional motorized filter wheel (multi-species or multi-range)
configuration it uses a maximum of six discrete wavelengths. In gases, the
concentrations of the species absorbing the light are determined through
application of the ideal gas law in concert with the laws of Bouguer, Beer,
and Lambert law, extended by using a system of linear equations. The
measurements can be viewed from the Human-Machine Interface (HMI),
on a computer via a serial or Ethernet connection, or can be tied to ana-
log output channels for viewing on a remote Distributed Control System
(DCS), Data Acquisition System (DAS), or Programmable Logic Controller
(PLC).
The Beer-Lambert law, in combination with the ideal gas situation, states
that:
At a given wavelength the volumetric concentration of an

absorbing gas is directly proportional to the logarithm of
the transmittance and the temperature, and inversely pro-
portional to the Measuring Cell length and pressure.
The proportionality constant is determined according to the units chosen

for length, temperature, and pressure.
Overview | 1-1
The Implementation
The analyzer is comprised of two ultraviolet light sources, a Filterblock
that houses two (motorless filter, or “single-species”, version) to six (mo-
torized filter wheel – multi-species or multi-range version) wavelength
selective filters, a Beamsplitter, front surfaced mirrors, a Measuring Cell,
and two matched Photodetectors (Figure 1-1).
Figure 1-1.

Bench Controller Board
The principle operation of the Model 9900 Analyzer is controlled by the
Bench Controller board.
The Bench Controller board is responsible for interfacing to all of the

electro-mechanical and electro-optical components of the analyzer’s
Optical Bench for the purpose of timing, control, detector data acquisition
and pre-processing, and signal monitoring and optimization. The Bench
Controller board firmware uses the real-time operating system
FreeRTOS.org to manage the Bench control, data acquisition, signal pro-
cessing and customer I/O tasks.
The Bench Controller board also handles customer inputs and outputs,
which includes the optional touchscreen color Human-Machine Interface
(HMI), processing of detector data to generate customer outputs, conver-
sion of auxiliary data input signals, and communication with the DCS,
DAS, or PLC. See Figure 1-1.
Customer I/O Board

The Customer I/O board is a customer interface board that provides four
isolated analog outputs, two contact inputs, and one status relay output.
An alternative connection point is to an isolated RS-485 communication
port on the Bench Controller board.
The voltage outputs are selectable to either 0–5 V or 1–5 V. Each of the
contact inputs can be configured to initiate an action (e.g., Zero-Calibra-
tion or Span-Calibration) or to indicate a sample system state (e.g., on
sample stream or on calibration gas). The status relay can be set up to be
triggered on a combination of analyzer detectable Fault or Warning condi-
tion, calibration in progress state, or bench setup in progress.
Overview | 1-3
Optical Bench
Model 9900 Analyzer (Multi-Species/Motorized Filter Wheel Version)
In this configuration up to six filters are used in a rotating filter wheel
(Figure 1-1). To achieve measurements at discrete wavelengths, the lo-
cations of the filters in the filter wheel and the placement of the source
lamps are chosen so that, at any given time, the Photodetectors are ex-
posed to light from only one lamp and filter combination (i.e., a discrete
wavelength). With two source lamps and six filters, twelve discrete wave-
lengths can, theoretically, be produced. In practice, up to six are used.
One revolution of the filter wheel is used to collect a complete set of

detector data from the available wavelengths. During the revolution, the
source lamps are pulsed alternately.
Model 9900 Analyzer (Single-Species/Motorless Filter Version)

In this configuration two filters are used, each one mounted in front of
one lamp (Figure 1-1). The light sources are modulated, such that only
one lamp is being pulsed at a time. The signals from the Photodetectors
are demodulated such that light from only one lamp and filter combina-
tion is considered at a time in the data analysis (i.e., a discrete wavelength
is used to measure the chemical species of interest).
Model 9900 Analyzer (Single- and Multi-Species Versions)

As each pulse of light arrives, the Beamsplitter directs half the light to the
Reference Photodetector and half through the sample gas to the Measure
Photodetector. Because of the longer optical path length, light losses at
the mirrors, and light losses through the Measuring Cell windows, the
amount of light received by the Measure Photodetector is less than that
received by the Reference Photodetector, even when there are no absorbers
in the sample gas.
Although the analyzer uses individually controlled power supplies for

each PMT to counter such effect, under certain circumstances (e.g., long
path length Measuring Cell, strong wavelength, etc.), the imbalance can
become so great that it may be necessary to place a screen in the Refer-
ence path to block a portion of the light. At each wavelength for any given
analyzer, these optical-path factors produce a constant difference between
the amounts of light received by the two Photodetectors.
When absorbers are present in the sample gas, the amount of light re-
ceived by the Measure Photodetector is reduced further. The magnitude
of the reduction is dependent upon the concentrations and absorbance
constants of the absorbers. Thus, for each wavelength, the difference in
the amounts of light received by the two Photodetectors (corrected for the
optical-path factors) is used to determine the absorbance of the sample
gas. Then, the concentrations of the individual absorbers of interest are
calculated.

Sample System
The sample system components are configurable for both gas and liq-
uid applications. A typical configuration for the sample system consists
of Sample Inlet and Outlet (Vent) connection points on the analyzer, a
Sample and a Vent line (supplied by AMETEK or by customer), the Mea-
suring (Sample) Cell, and an optional flow indicator (or meter/sensor). See
Figure 1-2.
Zero gas and Span gas also come in through the Sample Inlet, switched
from sample gas by manual or automated valves. The sample system can
also contain pressure sensors/indicators, additional sensors (O2, Cell Pres-
sure, Flow Rate), a particulate filter, sample dryer, and other application-
dependent components. Information about optional components that
make up the analyzer or its sample system are included in Appendix A
– Options, or in the Supplemental Information section of this manual, in the
form of Manual Supplements.
Sample Flow
The sample gas is drawn from the sample stream through a Sample
Probe (by AMETEK or by customer) and through the Sample Line to the
Measuring Cell where it is analyzed and returned through the Vent Line
to the dispersal location, either the sample stream, a low pressure flare
header, or a vent pipe to atmosphere.

tional equipment, and may not be exactly as shown for your system.

Analyzer Electronics and Sample System Features
The Model 9900 Analyzer has been designed to comply with electrical
classification requirements for General Purpose and Division 2/Zone 2
areas specific to this analyzer’s intended application. Depending on the
application, some of these features may not be available for your analyzer.
Multi-Component Analysis (Motorized Filter Wheel version only)

The availability of six discrete wavelengths enables multi-component
analysis or single-component analysis with the capability of eliminat-
ing interferences from other absorbers. As an example, the analyzer
can be configured for measurement of all, or a combination of:
SO2/NOx, SO2/H2S, SO2/total reduced sulfur (TRS), and NOx in a dry
sample gas. It can also be configured for liquid applications.
Analog Output signal channels

Four isolated analog output channels. The channels are configurable
individually as voltage output (0–5 VDC or 1–5 VDC) or current output
(0–20 mADC or 4–20 mADC). When configured as 1–5 VDC or 4–20 mADC
output, an option is available to clamp the output from going below
1 VDC or 4 mADC. Each channel can be assigned a signal from a list of
measured parameters. Each channel can be calibrated individually.
Status Relay
One dry contact (normally open) status relays. The relay is configu-
rable to indicate any of the following: a Fault or Warning condition,
calibration in progress state, or bench setup in progress..
Contact Inputs
Up to two contact inputs. The inputs are configurable to trigger one of
these actions: Zero-Calibration, Span-Calibration, Bench Auto-Setup,
Track-Hold, or an on- oroff-process stream.
Data Upload/Download to/from USB Flash Drive

A USB port on the HMI allows the transfer of logged data to a USB
Flash Drive for viewing on a computer. The USB Flash Drive is also
used to upgrade the HMI software.
Human-Machine Interface (HMI) – Optional

A menu-driven interface provides access to analyzer information,
setup, diagnostics, and calibration screens, plus a display of system
signals and parameters.

Communications
ModbusRTU-over-RS485:
One RS-485 serial communication port is dedicated to customer data
acquisition. This port uses Modicon Modbus® RTU protocol. The Mod-
bus® RTU protocol can be used with the analyzer operating as a slave
device, responding to Modbus queries within one second.
ModbusTCP-over-Ethernet:
One RJ-45 Ethernet port is for 10/100 Base-T (IEEE802.3) network con-
nection, using TCP/IP protocol, which allows for remote communica-
tion between the analyzer and the customer DCS, DAS, or PLC. It
supports Modbus TCP protocol.
Advanced Diagnostics
Preventive maintenance and diagnostics are made easy with improved:
• Lamp setup and optimization.
• Lamp, optical system, and I/O diagnostics available via the HMI.
• LEDs on the circuit boards to indicate the status of key system func-
tions such as relay status and heater duty cycles. Information about
the LEDs on the Bench Controller board and Customer I/O board,
and their operation descriptions and current states, are included
with each board’s layout drawing in Appendix C.
• Test points on boards to facilitate functional operation checks.
Information about Bench Controller board test points, their pa-
rameters, and their values are included with the Bench Controller
board’s layout drawing in Appendix C.
Gas and Liquid applications

Sample systems designed to accommodate gas and liquid applications.
Optional Sensors
Support for external sensors for measuringO2 and sample flow.
Graphing and Saving Trend Data

Pre-defined groups of parameters are logged continuously on the
HMI and the data for parameter groups can be graphed on the display
and saved to a USB Flash Drive. The HMI stores data for the last 12
hours (at 1-minute intervals).

Pre-Installation Requirements
Storage Prior to Installation

If the analyzer is stored for any period of time prior to installation, it
must be housed in a temperature-controlled environment where it is not
subject to dripping or splashing liquids, corrosive gases, high humidity, or
excessive heat or cold. Recommended storage conditions include:
Temperature: 0 °C to 50 °C (32 °F to 122 °F)

Relative Humidity: < 70 %
Failure to comply with these storage conditions will void your warranty.
Uncrating and Inspecting the Analyzer
! Lift the analyzer out of its shipping container only by grasping it

from the sides or bottom. Do not use the handles on the front of the
CAUTION
analyzer to lift it out of its shipping container, or to transport it.
Upon receiving the analyzer system, remove it from the shipping con-
tainer and check the exterior of the analyzer for damage. Remove the
top cover from the Analyzer Enclosure and check all of the components
within the enclosure to ensure they are secure and there is no physical
damage.

One power-disconnect explosion-proof switch (breaker), rated for
appropriate supply voltage at the installation site and certified for the
hazardous location (to satisfy local electrical codes, the switch must be
certified by the local authority for the appropriate hazardous loca-
tion). The power-disconnect switch (breaker) must be connected to
and mounted in a safe area near the analyzer (within 3 metres/9.84
feet), in an easily accessible area. The switch (breaker) must be clearly
labeled (e.g., “AMETEK Model 9900 Analyzer Main AC Power Discon-
nect Switch”). For safety reasons during maintenance, this switch
allows the main AC power to be disconnected from the analyzer prior
to performing service on the analyzer. This switch (breaker) is to be
supplied and installed by the customer/end user.

analyzers have ½" NPT cable entries; 240 V analyzers have M20 cable
entries). Customer/end user required to supply/install cable glands
that meet the requirements of local wiring regulations and electrical
codes.
• Detergent-based leak detector (Snoop® or another suitable leak detec-

tion agent is permissible).
• A supply of ¼" non-rigid tubing, such as Teflon, for the Sample and
Vent gas lines. Length will vary, depending on the distance between
the analyzer and the sample extraction and dispersal points. Ap-
propriate ferrules for the tubing material must be used. Supplied/in-
stalled by the customer/end user.
• A supply of ¼" non-rigid tubing, such as Teflon, for the Calibration

and Zero gas lines. Length will vary, depending on the distance
between the analyzer and the Calibration and Zero gas cylinders.
Appropriate ferrules for the tubing material must be used. Supplied/
installed by the customer/end user.

Installing the Mechanical Components
While installing the mechanical components, refer to the associated illus-
trations for the dimensions and locations of components.
Installing the Analyzer

The complete analyzer is contained within a standard enclosure. For Rack
Mount applications, a slide mount will be mounted on each side of the
analyzer. See Figure 3-1 for analyzer dimensions, Figure 3-2 for the layout
of the internal components, and Figure 3-3 for the Rear Panel Layout.
All external connections to the analyzer are made through the Rear Panel.
When mounting the analyzer into a rack, allow sufficient room behind the
analyzer for the Sample Line and Vent Line and for the cable or conduit
carrying wiring to the input/output signal terminal strips inside the ana-
lyzer.
When chassis slides are used the Sample and Vent Line tubes, Ethernet
cable, and signal cable(s) must be flexible and long enough to allow re-
moval of the analyzer from the rack.
The AC Power cable is routed into the Analyzer Enclosure through the
Cable Entry Ports at the analyzer Rear Panel and terminated at the AC
Power Distribution/MOV board.
The valve configuration and the flow control associated with the sample,
Zero, and Calibration gases are to be supplied by the customer.
Location and Environment
The entire analyzer system can be mounted in a rack or in a specially

designed cabinet or shelter. In all cases, the analyzer system must be
installed indoors to ensure it is protected from harsh environmental ele-
ments.
 Regardless of which installation method is used, be sure to install the

analyzer in a location that is as free as possible from vibrations.
NOTE
The surrounding ambient temperature of the analyzer should be main-

tained between 0–50 °C (32–122 °F).
Division 2/Zone 2 Applications:

The enclosure provides ingress protection IP20 per IEC 60950. The cus-
tomer is required to provide additional ingress protection to IP54 when
installing in Division 2 or Zone 2 classified hazardous areas.

Installing the Sample System
!All regulatory agency, personnel safety procedures, and installation/

removal procedures must be followed during the installation/removal
WARNING
of the sample system components. A breathing apparatus must be
worn when installing/removing equipment from the sample gas
extraction point. The sample stream may be under positive pressure,
and injury or death from inhaling toxic gases in the sample stream
could result from attempting to install/remove equipment without the
use of a breathing apparatus.
Sample Prerequisites
The following are typical conditions which the sample gas must meet:
• The dewpoint temperature of all components in the sample must be

lower than the lowest expected operating temperature of the Measur-
ing Cell (i.e., components of the sample gas mixture must not con-
dense within the analytical system).
• When introduced into the analyzer, the pressure and temperature

of the Calibration Gas mixture should be as close as possible to the
temperature and pressure that will exist in the Measuring Cell during
normal operation of the analyzer.
• The sample gas should be free of particulate materials.
• The maximum allowable pressure is the lesser of 275 kPag (40 psig);
35 kPag (5 psig) if the optional Paramagnetic O2 Sensor is installed;
or the maximum pressure rating of any optional pressure measuring
device that is installed.
• The typical sample flow rate should be 0.5–5.0 L/min (1.0–10.0 scfh).
The volume of the sample system will affect the response time of the over-
all system.

Installing and Connecting the Sample and Vent Lines
The analyzer is supplied with Sample Line Inlet and Vent Line Outlet con-
nection fittings, which are mounted on the analyzer Rear Panel (Figure
3-3). Unless otherwise specified, the sample system fittings are ¼" Swa-
gelok® connectors.
 The connectors required for connecting to the customer’s sample sys-

tem are also ¼" Swagelok® tube fittings.
NOTE
Appropriate ferrules for the tubing material must be used – supplied

by customer.
Install the Zero gas line at the same time as you make the Sample and
Vent Line connections to the analyzer.
To install the Sample and Vent Lines:
1. Route the Sample Line from the analyzer to the gas sample probe on
the stack.
Route the Vent Line (if used) from the analyzer to the gas dispersal
location (vent to atmosphere).
Ensure there are no loops, sags, or other traps in the Sample and Vent
Lines. Provide support where needed.
2. Make the connection for the Sample Line at the analyzer and at the
gas sample probe.
Make the connection for the Vent Line at the analyzer and at the dis-
persal location (vent pipe to atmosphere).
 If solenoids are added to the sample system to control the flow of

sample and calibration gases, it is the responsibility of the customer.
NOTE

Connecting the Zero Gas
The analyzer is supplied with a Zero gas inlet connection fitting, which is
mounted on the analyzer Rear Panel (see Figure 3-3).
 The connector required for connecting the Zero gas to the analyzer is
a 1/8" Swagelok® tube fitting.
NOTE
Install the Zero gas line at the same time as you make the Sample and
Vent Line connections to the analyzer.
Zero gas connection requirements:
• The Zero gas must be dry and must not contain any components
which absorb ultraviolet light (radiation) at the wavelengths em-
ployed by the analyzer, nor contain any components which might
react with components in the sample gas mixture. Nitrogen (UHP) or
Instrument Air (as per ANSI/ISA S7.0.01 (1996) Quality Standard for
Instrument Air) that meets these requirements are suitable for use as a
Zero gas for the analyzer.
 If an optional O2 Sensor is installed, Instrument Air cannot be used

as Zero gas; nitrogen must be used.
NOTE
• A supply of 1/8" non-rigid tubing, such as Teflon, for the Zero gas line.
Length will vary, depending on the distance between the analyzer
and the Zero gas cylinder. Appropriate ferrules for the tubing material
must be used. Supplied/installed by the customer/end user.
• Adjust the Zero gas pressure to <5 PSIG at 2 SCFH prior to initiating
an Auto-Zero.
To install the Zero gas line:
1. Route the Zero gas line from the analyzer to the Zero gas cylinder.
2. Connect the Zero gas line to the Zero gas cylinder and to the Zero gas
inlet on the Rear Panel of the analyzer (see Figure 3-3).

Digital Communication
The analyzer may be configured to communicate simultaneously via its
RS-485 serial port and its Fast Ethernet connection.
 Contact your Network Administrator for information about proper

settings required to establish Modbus and Ethernet communications.
NOTE
! Always disconnect the main AC power to the analyzer before opening

any covers/doors on the analyzer, before making any wiring or cable
WARNING
connections, and before removing any components from the analyzer.
If using the USB connection, confirm the USB Flash Drive or cable
is secured in place (Figure 3-4).
For Division 2/Zone 2 analyzers, the USB Flash Drive is secured in

the USB port with a Locking Clip.
Connections for Modbus® RTU on the RS-485
The RS-485 terminals on the Customer I/O board can be used for remote
communication with a Distributed Control System (DCS), Data Acquisi-
tion System (DAS), or Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) using Modi-
con Modbus® RTU protocol. The Modbus® RTU protocol can be used with
the analyzer operating as a slave device, responding to Modbus queries
within one second, and providing full access to all registers.
For analyzers using the Customer I/O board (typical default):

Connect a customer supplied serial cable (4‑wire or 2-wire multi-drop
connection with signal ground, maximum 1200 m) between the customer
DCS, DAS, or PLC and the RS‑485 terminals on this board (TB1).
For analyzers using the Bench Controller board:

Connect a customer supplied serial cable between the DCS, DAS, or PLC
and J502 on the Bench Controller board.
 After the analyzer installation is complete (including all I/O Signal,

Relay Contact, and AC Power connections), configure and enable the
NOTE
RS-485 port for Modbus® communications as described in “Start-Up
and Verification” (Powering Up the Analyzer) later in this chapter.

Connections for Modbus® TCP on Ethernet (Optional)
When using the Ethernet interface (using Modbus-TCP) on the analyzer,

the minimum requirements for the Ethernet cable is a CAT 5e cable to
connect the analyzer to the network, up to a maximum of 100 m from the
hub/switch/router. The Ethernet interface supports a 10Base-T/100Base-TX
connection.
When used via the analyzer HMI, this option provides read access to data
and status registers. The system is limited to calibration command write.
When used via the optional Modbus gateway, this option provides full
access to the registers, and the ModbusRTU-over-RS485 becomes unavail-
able.
Connect the Ethernet cable between the RJ-45 Ethernet port on the back
of the analyzer (see Figures 3-3) and the network.
 After the analyzer installation is complete (including all I/O Signal,

Relay Contact, and AC Power connections), configure and enable the
NOTE
Ethernet parameters.
Removing/Replacing the USB Flash Drive
The USB Flash Drive comes inserted in the analyzer HMI’s USB port on
the bottom of the HMI (inside the analyzer enclosure). This procedure
describes how to safely remove and replace the USB Flash Drive when
upgrading the HMI-Display firmware, or in the event of a USB Flash
Drive failure. Otherwise, removing the USB drive is not recommended.
To remove/install a USB Flash Drive in the USB port on the HMI (use of
Locking Clip required for Division 2/Zone 2) – Figures 3-4.1 and 3-4.2:
1. Power down the analyzer and then remove the screws that secure the
top cover on the analyzer electronics enclosure.
2. Press the yellow “PRESS TO OPEN” button on the top of the HMI to

Division 2/Zone 2 Applications
Division 2/Zone 2 analyzers have a Gland Plate on the analyzer Rear Panel
(see Figure 3-3). These analyzers do not have the Power Entry Switch
Plate (including AC Power Switch and AC Plug Connector) on the analyz-
er Rear Panel; therefore, an external power-disconnect switch (supplied
by customer/end user) is required to turn the analyzer power On/Off.
See “Division 2/Zone 2 Analyzers” under “Tools, Equipment and Supplies
Required for Installation” earlier in this chapter for more information.
To connect AC Power to the Division 2/Zone 2 analyzer:
1. Remove the top cover from the Analyzer Enclosure.
2. Remove the M20 or ½" plug from the AC Power Gland Plate.

3. Route the AC Power wiring (approved by local wiring regulations and
electrical codes) to the power-disconnect switch and make the connec-
tions.
Route the AC Power wiring from the power-disconnect switch to the

analyzer.
 The power-disconnect switch (breaker) must be connected to and

mounted in a safe area near the analyzer (within 3 metres/9.84 feet),
NOTE
in an easily accessible area. The switch (breaker) must be clearly la-
beled (e.g., “AMETEK Model 9900 Analyzer Main AC Power Discon-
nect Switch”).
For safety reasons during maintenance, this switch allows the main
AC power to be disconnected from the analyzer prior to performing
service on the analyzer.
4. At the analyzer, use a certified cable gland (supplied by customer/

end user) with the AC Power Wiring and connect the cable gland to
the Power Entry Gland Plate. Route the AC wiring to J101 on the AC
Power Distribution/MOV board and terminate the wiring.

Pressure Leak Check
The analyzer has been checked for sample system leaks at the factory as
part of AMETEK’s quality assurance procedures. However, since fittings
may loosen during transport, and the Sample Line, Vent Line, and Zero
Gas lines are installed on-site, it is important that you perform a leak
check on the entire sample system prior to powering up the analyzer for
the first time, or following the replacement of any lines/fittings or Measur-
ing Cell parts.
! Preventing leaks in the sample handling system is critical to ensure

proper analyzer operation. If sample gas migrates into the Optical
CAUTION
Bench Assembly or Reflector Block due to a leak in the Measuring
Cell, the optics will become damaged and most likely require replace-
ment. Most leaks are preventable with the regular replacement of the
Measuring Cell o-rings.
1. Connect Zero Gas to the Sample Inlet fitting and plug the Sample
Outlet.
2. Adjust the Zero Gas pressure within the Measuring Cell approximate-
ly 65 kPa (10 psi) above the expected Measuring Cell operating pres-
sure.
! Do not exceed 100 kPag (15 psig) if the Paramagnetic Oxygen Sensor
is installed.
CAUTION
Do not exceed the pressure rating of any installed pressure measuring

device.
Do not exceed 275 kPag (40 psig) under any conditions.
3. Using standard leak detection procedures check all Sample/Vent Line

connections and the Measuring Cell for leaks.
4. If a leak is detected, carry out the appropriate repair procedure.
5. Repeat Steps 2–4 until all leaks have been fixed.
6. The analyzer leak check is complete. After turning off the Zero Gas
and slowly relieving the pressure, disconnect the Zero Gas and re-
move any plugs or caps installed for the leak check.
! Reduce the pressure slowly and under control.

CAUTION

Start-Up and Verification
This section describes equipment and controls on the analyzer system that
require adjustments and settings before, during, and after power-up.
Powering Up the Analyzer

When powering up the analyzer, certain checks should be performed
to ensure the analyzer is operating properly. These checks are discussed
in the following procedure. If there are problems encountered during
power-up, refer to the “Start-Up Diagnostics Checklist” following these
procedures for help in diagnosing and correcting problems.
! Hazardous Locations
Do not cycle the analyzer power on if there is a hazardous gas atmo-
WARNING
sphere present, unless a power-disconnect switch (approved for the
Hazardous Area) has been installed for use with the analyzer.
Before applying power to the analyzer, test the area around the ana-
lyzer for hazardous gases and proceed only when the area is found to
be safe.
To apply power to the analyzer:
1. General Purpose (GP) Analyzers:

Switch the AC Power Switch on the analyzer Rear Panel to the On
position. This will also apply power to the Human-Machine Interface
(HMI).
Division 2/Zone 2 Analyzers:

Switch the analyzer power-disconnect switch to the On position. This
will also apply power to the Human-Machine Interface (HMI).
When the HMI is powered up, the message “Connecting to UV

bench...” is displayed (Figure 3-8).
If this screen does not appear within approximately 30 seconds, cycle the
analyzer power Off then On again. If this screen still does not appear,
check the AC power connections to the analyzer, and the 24 VDC Power
Connector on the HMI unit (from the Power Supply). If there is still no
response from the analyzer, contact the local distributor or factory.

tile memory, and then reset the analyzer by cycling the AC power
Off/On. This is necessary to ensure these changes are updated in
the analyzer.
5. Set the HMI Date and Time to local time. For information about how
to change the HMI Date and Time, refer to “Viewing and Changing
HMI Date\Time” in Chapter 4.
6. Set the nominal Measuring Cell Pressure and Temperature to correspond

with your process conditions. For information about how to change
these settings refer to “Viewing and Changing Sample Cell Parameters”
in Chapter 4.
7. Enter the calibration gas concentration(s), as described under “Span-

Calibrate the Analyzer and View the Results” in Chapter 5.
8. From the home screen, view the species and parameters that have
been selected for display at the factory.
9. Perform a manual Zero on the analyzer and then, optionally, perform

a manual Span. These procedures are described under “Manual Zero
and Span Calibration” in Chapter 5.
After the calibration, note the time the analyzer takes to display a
stable concentration value. The response time should be approximate-
ly 30 seconds or less (excluding the external sample system).
The analyzer is ready to begin sampling gas.

Start-Up Diagnostics Checklist
This checklist describes problems that may be encountered while power-
ing up the analyzer and/or preparing it for normal operation. If the ana-
lyzer experiences problems during power-up, review this checklist and
perform the corresponding corrective action to fix any problems.
Problem Encountered
The normal HMI start-up sequence of the message “Connecting to UV
bench...” appearing on the HMI-Display followed by the home screen ap-
pearing do not appear immediately after applying AC power.
Corrective Action
Take all necessary precautions and check the AC wiring to ensure it is prop-
erly connected.
Problem Encountered
During the normal HMI start-up sequence (“Connecting to UV bench...”
message on the HMI) the error message “UV BENCH NOT CONNECTED
TO HMI UNIT...” appears on the HMI instead of the home screen appear-
ing.
Corrective Action
Take all necessary precautions and ensure the connectors on all cables be-
tween the HMI and the analyzer are properly connected, and check these
cables for damage. Replace the cables if damaged.
Problem Encountered

Status
DIAGUV Bench tions.
Certain status conditions will be active until the analyzer has warmed up to
normal operating temperature, at which time they should clear automatically.
Refer to “Analyzer Diagnostic Status Codes, Trigger Conditions, and Cor-
rective Action” in Chapter 6 for complete status condition descriptions and
corrective action to take to correct the status conditions.

Problem Encountered
One or both source lamps are not firing. Note that the lamps are almost com-
pletely covered by a housing, but a flashing orange glow will be visible when
looking at the lamp from the socket end.
Corrective Action
Take appropriate safety precautions and check for proper wiring connections.
If the wiring is okay, check the connections of the lamps in their sockets. Re-
view the section titled “Replacing the Source Lamps” in Chapter 6 and make
adjustments to the lamps. Perform an Auto Setup, if necessary, to ensure the
lamps are operating at peak efficiency.
Recalibrating the Analyzer

The Model 9900 Analyzer has been calibrated at the factory for your re-
quested range or a default range.
If the analyzer will be used to measure a sample concentration which

is significantly different from that of the original (factory-set) range,
AMETEK recommends re-spanning the analyzer. Refer to Chapter 2 for
analyzer ranges and Chapter 5 for detailed information about how to
calibrate the analyzer.
To recalibrate the analyzer:
1. Enter the concentrations of the components in the Calibration Gas

mixtures before performing the Zero/Span functions.
2. Connect (or turn on) the Zero Gas to the analyzer and perform a
manual Zero.
3. Connect (or turn on) the Span Gas to the analyzer and perform a
manual Span.

Normal Operation
After the analyzer is set up and started, the analyzer ’s HMI defaults to the
home screen. During normal operation, the home screen displays the
real-time analysis results and optional measurements on the screens. The
HMI is updated every two seconds.
 IMPORTANT
To help you determine in the future if there are problems with your
NOTE
analyzer, it is important to observe and record initial readings (when
the analyzer sample system is clean) of the PMT (photomultiplier
tube) signals for each filter and the sample response time.
Also record the date the analyzer was commissioned for operation
to help you determine lamp age, which can be helpful if diagnosing
problems with the analyzer. Whenever lamps are replaced, record the
date for future reference.
Monitoring Analyzer Performance

The Model 9900 Analyzer has a USB port on the bottom of the HMI, which
is accessible by removing the top cover from the Analyzer Enclosure.
! For Division 2/Zone 2 analyzers, ensure the USB Flash Drive is

secured in the USB port with its Locking Clip.
WARNING
Pre-defined parameter groups are logged continuously on the HMI. The

data for these parameter groups can be graphed on the display. Refer to
“Viewing Data Trending Diagnostic Information” in Chapter 6 for more
information about graphing data.
The data – which the HMI stores for the last 12 hours, at 1-minute inter-
vals – can also be saved to a USB Flash Drive.
Observe and record the signals every month to monitor signal strength.
Make the first recording after commissioning the analyzer for operation.
 It is important to record these values each month immediately after a

manual Zero function to simulate the same conditions during the origi-
NOTE
nal recordings. If the values are recorded using the sample gas, the results
may be skewed because the composition of the gas can vary. All signals
should return to within 5 % of the values recorded the previous month.

Recording Initial Sample Response Time
The analyzer’s sample response time can be used for two functions. One
function is to help you set the sample gas flow rate. The other function
is to help you determine if the typical response time is increasing, which
may indicate a plug in the sample system.
Typically, a good response time is approximately 30 seconds (excluding

the external sample system) when the sample system is clean and op-
erating at peak efficiency (response time may vary due to Sample Line
length).
To check and record the initial sample response time:
1. Manually Zero the analyzer. Refer to “Manual Zero and Span Calibra-
tion” in Chapter 5 for information about how to perform a manual
zero.
2. After the Zero is complete, return the gas flow to Sample Gas. View
the home screen and observe the output concentration. Record the
time it takes the analyzer to display the first concentration reading.
 It is important to record the response time only after performing a

manual Zero to simulate the same conditions during the original
NOTE
recordings.
3. If the sample response time is adequate, no further adjustment is nec-

essary.
4. Record the response time in a log book every month.

Analyzer Configuration
An Analyzer Configuration Report (called “9900_Analyzer CFG Report”) is
included in the analyzer Documentation Package. This document lists the
factory-default configuration settings of all programmable parameters for
the analyzer.
Changes to the analyzer configuration settings can be made, saved, or

restored while working from the HMI.

 If changing a channel’s output setting from voltage to current, or

NOTE
current to voltage, the corresponding dip switch on the Customer I/O
board must first be changed to the required setting, followed by chang-
ing the Type[switch] setting on the screen. Finally, change the Range
parameter to the desired setting.
If the output Type is changed, the channel must be re-calibrated. Refer

to “Analog Output Calibration” later in this chapter and “Calibrate
the Analog Outputs” in Chapter 5 for details about how to calibrate
the analog outputs.

To change analog output settings:
1. First, assign a signal to an analog output channel by entering a Mod-

bus Register number in the Assignment field. To determine the Regis-
ter numbers, press to view the Analog Output Assignment Code
sub-menu (Figure 4-14.2.2), which lists the available screens (by but-
ton name). Each screen lists Assignment codes for the corresponding
Modbus Register Address. Enter these codes to assign analog outputs
to Channels 1–4 (these screens are illustrated in the following pages).
If an output channel is not used, assign ‘0’ to the corresponding As-
signment field.
Tap the Assignment field for the analog channel, to display a numeric
keypad. Enter the Assignment Code and press ENT to accept the
change. Repeat this step to configure other output channels.

2. Next, change the low Scale and/or high Scale output value for each
output, if required, and press ENT to accept the change. Repeat this
step to change the low and/or high Scale values for other outputs.
3. Select an output Type (switch), either mA or V, by tapping beside the

desired Output Type.
4 Next, select the Range by tapping the desired option. If mA is selected

the Range options are 4-20 or 0-20 mA. If V is selected the Range op-
tions are 1-5 or 0-5 V.
5. To clamp the output to the selected Range, press the clamp out-
put button to change it to , which indicates it is enabled.
6. After the changes have been made, press to save the new values,
or press to refresh the changes.
The Analog Output Assignment Code sub-menu allows you to view the
codes for all analyzer signals that are available to be assigned to an analog
output channel. These codes are the corresponding Modbus Register Ad-
dress numbers for the analyzer signals.
For example, to assign the Measuring Cell temperature to Analog Out-

put 1, press the Sensor button to view the Sensor assignment codes and
note the code for Cell temp (71). Return to the Analog Output Setup
screen and enter “71” in the Assignment field for Analog Output 1.

CALIBRATION
Calibrating the analyzer can be done directly from the Distributed Con-
trol System (DCS), Data Acquisition System (DAS), or Programmable
Logic Controller (PLC), or using a combination of DCS, DAS, or PLC and
Human-Machine Interface (HMI) settings. This chapter discusses how to
manually Zero- or Span-calibrate, and how to configure and enable the
Auto Zero function, from the analyzer HMI. This chapter also discusses
how to view the results of Zero and Span calibrations. Finally, this chapter
discusses how to calibrate the analog outputs.
This manual does not discuss how to enable the appropriate flow control
settings using the DCS, DAS, or PLC system, prior to performing the cali-
bration procedures.

Zero and Span Calibration
From the Calibration menu, you can access various screens to configure
Zero and Span calibration parameters, initiate Manual Zero and Span cali-
brations, set up and enable the optional Auto-Zero calibration, and view
the Zero and Span calibration results.
The Model 9900RM Analyzer can support Manual calibration (typical ap-
plications) and Auto-Zero calibrations (optional). For Manual calibrations,
the Zero or Span calibration gas must be introduced manually into the
Measuring Cell. For Auto-Zero calibrations, an optional solenoid is inte-
grated within the analyzer sample system, and the Auto-Zero function
can be configured to control the solenoid, which will automatically intro-
duce Zero gas through the analyzer sample system and its Measuring Cell
according to predetermined settings.
 Zero- and Span-calibration results are automatically saved to non-

NOTE
volatile memory after the calibration is complete.

MAINTENANCE and TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter discusses preventive maintenance to keep the analyzer

system operating at peak efficiency, how to check for plugging in the
analyzer’s sample system, and how to replace internal parts. This chapter
also discusses how to view status conditions to diagnose and troubleshoot
problems with the analyzer.
Safety Considerations
Before performing any maintenance, service, or troubleshooting on the
 analyzer, review and follow all safety information under “Personnel
NOTE
and Equipment Safety Information” following the Table of Contents
near the beginning of this manual. This information describes proce-
dures to follow to avoid personal injury and/or damage to the equip-
ment. All regulatory agency and personnel safety procedures for
your jurisdiction must be followed.
Personnel should be thoroughly familiar with the operation of the

analyzer before performing the maintenance and troubleshooting
procedures described in this section.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting | 6-1

Maintenance
Generally, the Model 9900 Analyzer requires limited maintenance. The
Analyzer Preventive Maintenance Schedule lists general maintenance to
follow to ensure continued and proper operation of the analyzer. This
section also describes parts that require replacement and the frequency in
which they should be replaced.
Preventive Maintenance
To reduce the occurrence of problems with the analyzer, AMETEK recom-
mends that you follow the Analyzer Preventive Maintenance Schedule.
Since most analyzer problems originate within the sample system, the
primary objective of this schedule is proper care of the sample system.
! Preventing leaks in the sample system is critical to proper analyzer

operation. The analyzer’s sample system must be leak checked when-
CAUTION
ever it has been dismantled for maintenance or repair.
The “Analyzer Preventive Maintenance Schedule” suggests actions and

their frequency when caring for the analyzer. Detailed information and
assembly drawings that are intended to assist you when changing out
parts can be found in appropriate sections in this chapter and/or in the
“Supplemental Information” folder of the analyzer Documentation Package.
Analyzer Preventive Maintenance Schedule
Frequency Task
Daily Check for Fault or Warning Status Conditions
The DIAG button on the HOME screen is the first indication from the
Human-Machine Interface (HMI) that there are active status condi-
tions. If status conditions are triggered, this button begins flashing and

Status
DIAGUV Bench
changes color (ORANGE=Warning status; RED=FAULT status). If so,
view the UV Bench Status diagnostic screen.
From other screens, the button (with ORANGE or RED indicator)
also serves to indicate there are active status conditions.
Review “Troubleshooting and Diagnostics” in this chapter for information
about the status conditions and the suggested corrective actions to take
to clear the conditions.

Frequency Task
Monthly Check Analyzer Response Time
Manually zero the analyzer and then observe the sample response time.
View the HOME screen on the HMI and observe the output concentra-
tion. Record the time it takes the analyzer to display the first concentra-
tion reading.
Observe the species on the HOME screen and record the time it takes the
species concentration(s) to begin ramping up from the near-zero levels to
the stream concentration levels. Typically, a good response time is less
than 30 seconds, depending on the sample system length and the volume
that needs to be displaced with the sample gas. A change in the response
time, over time, may suggest plugging problems in the sample system.
Every 6 Months Sample and Vent Lines
Inspect the Sample Line and Vent Line (if used) for sags, sharp bends,
or damage to the outer skin. If necessary, take appropriate safety pre-
cautions and replace the lines. Perform a leak check on all associated
fittings after replacing any line(s).
9–12 Months Source Lamps
Replace the source lamps. One or both of the source lamps may need
to be replaced sooner if information from the analyzer’s diagnostics

Status
DIAGUV Bench
indicates related status conditions (i.e., “ALC low error” or “ALC high
error” are active on the UV Bench Status diagnostic screen). Refer to
“Replacing the Source Lamps” later in this chapter.
Every Year Measuring Cell
Clean the Measuring Cell. This annual schedule is a minimum require-
ment. If other conditions are found to be present, as outlined under the
section titled “Measuring Cell Preventive Maintenance” in this chapter,
cleaning may be required more frequently.
At the same time, replace the o-rings and check the condition of the
Windows (replace if damaged).
Every Year USB Flash Drive
The USB Flash Drive supplied by AMETEK is 1 GB, which can store
approximately 2.5 years of continuously logged data. However, to avoid
problems with logging data to the USB Flash Drive, AMETEK recommends
saving the logged data to a PC annually (such as during regular
maintenance) and then deleting the contents of the USB Flash Drive.
Every 2 Years Filter Assembly, Optical Bench
(Multi-Species/Motorized Filter Wheel analyzers only)
Replace the Filter Wheel Drive Belt and the Filter Wheel Bearings.
If there are recurring status conditions that suggest problems with the
Filter Wheel or other related parts in the Filter Assembly, replace these
parts sooner. Refer to “Filter Wheel Maintenance – Motorized Optical
Bench Analyzers,” later in this chapter.
Other Human-Machine Interface (HMI)
Clean the graphic panel on the HMI regularly to avoid dust build-up.
When cleaning the graphic panel, power to the HMI (analyzer) must
be OFF. Using a damp cloth to avoid electrostatic discharge, wipe the
graphic display panel.
Other Change Fuses
Replacing a fuse is only required in the event that a fuse has blown or
been damaged. See listings under “Spare Analyzer Fuses” in Chapter 7
and the AC Power Distribution/MOV Board (100-2450) in Appendix C for
fuse locations. Substitution of specified replacement components
(fuses) is not permitted. Disconnect power supply before replacing
the fuses on the AC Power Distribution/MOV board.

Before Performing Maintenance
! The analyzer sample system will be under positive pressure.

WARNING
Under normal operating conditions, lethal concentrations of H2S and
other toxic gases may be present within the analyzer’s sample system.
Take all necessary safety precautions to purge the sample system and
to ensure safe handling of the Cell. If necessary, a breathing appa-
ratus must be worn while servicing the sample system.
Before working on the sample system, manually zero the sample system,
isolate it (blocked it in) from the sample stream, and disconnect analyz-
er power. This procedure is necessary prior to changing out any ana-
lyzer components or replacing any replaceable parts (as part of regular
preventive maintenance), or when performing leaks checks following the
replacement of the Zero Gas supply or other adjustments to any of the
connection points in the analyzer’s sample system.
The sample system is defined as all components in the analyzer sys-

tem through which sample gas passes.
Detecting a Plug in the Sample System
Detecting a plug is best done by observing the analyzer’s measurement

response time immediately after Zeroing the analyzer. A typical response
is less than 30 seconds. Observe your analyzer and learn what a normal
response time is. Use the recorded response time as a reference for detect-
ing the formation of plugs in the sample system over time.
If the sample response time is longer than normal, it is most likely due to
plugging somewhere in the sample system. The portion of the sample sys-
tem with the highest risk of plugging is the sample inlet and the section
of the sample inlet most prone to plugging is at the sample gas extraction
point. One way to confirm that a plug is in the sample inlet is to close the
Vent Valve’s isolation valve and Zero the analyzer.
If your application disperses the used sample gas to atmosphere via a

 stack or low pressure flare header, disconnect the Vent Line and tem-
NOTE
porarily install an NPT plug.

Observe the Cell Pressure (CellP) reading (HOME screen) and if the
reading approaches the Zero Gas supply pressure, a plug is present some-
where in the sample inlet.
! To avoid damaging the pressure transducer, do not set the pressure

higher than its maximum rating.
CAUTION
 After confirming that the plug is somewhere in the sample inlet, take
all appropriate safety precautions and dismantle the sample system,
NOTE
starting at the sample gas extraction point.
Plugs in the sample outlet (or vent side) of the sample system are rare.
Plugs in the vent system cause the aspirator drive air to flow back into the
Measuring Cell and, essentially, simulate a Zero Gas Flow or Zero condi-
tion.
Locating a Plug in the Sample System
If analyzer problems occur, they are most likely related to improper

sample system operation, such as plugs or leaks. Plugs in the sample sys-
tem cause problems in analyzer response time, either to changing sample
stream conditions or to Zero Gas. Leaks are potentially dangerous and
will eventually lead to corrosion problems.

Changing Out Replaceable Parts
This section discusses the parts that should be changed out, according to
the “Analyzer Preventive Maintenance Schedule.” These procedures focus
on the AMETEK supplied sample system.
! Preventing leaks in the sample system is critical to ensure proper

analyzer operation. If sample gas migrates into the Optical Bench
CAUTION
Assembly or Reflector Block section of the Cell due to a leak in the
Measuring Cell Assembly, the optics will become damaged and will
require replacement. Most leaks are preventable with regular cleaning
and replacement of the Measuring Cell o-rings.
Measuring Cell Preventive Maintenance
The o-rings in the Measuring Cell should be replaced every year to avoid
a leak in the sample system. If the sample system operates above atmo-
spheric pressure, sample gas can leak from the Measuring Cell.
While the Measuring Cell is disassembled, clean its chambers and parts.
Refer to Figure 6-1 and Figure 6-2 for assistance in locating and identifying
the hardware components.
Clean the Measuring Cell and its Windows:
• If the analyzer responds slowly to zero when the sample system is free
of restrictions, or
• If evidence of contamination is present in the Sample Line and/or Vent

Line, or
• Every year as indicated in the “Analyzer Preventive Maintenance

Schedule.”
Replace the o-rings in the Measuring Cell:
• If, during an unscheduled cleaning (see cleaning requirements above),

the parts are found to be damaged. For example, the Measuring Cell
Windows are scratched, cracked, or chipped, or the o-rings are dam-
aged.
• Every year as indicated in the “Analyzer Preventive Maintenance

Schedule.”

 This procedure and the Figures referenced are based on a standard
Measuring Cell, as illustrated in Figure 6-2 and described in the fol-

lowing pages. Depending on the application, a different Measuring
Cell may be used.
If your system uses a White Cell (low concentration applications) or

other non-typical Cell, refer to the corresponding Manual Supplement
shipped with the analyzer for spare parts, and for specific information
on cleaning and replacing parts in the Cell.
To clean the Measuring Cell and replace its o-rings:
1. Manually Zero the analyzer for 2–3 minutes.
2. After the Zero is complete, close the isolation valve on the Sample
Probe and the Vent Valve (or cap the Sample and Vent Lines) to isolate

Replacing the Source Lamps
The typical life span of the source lamps is approximately 9–12 months of
continuous operation. However, a source lamp can begin to exhibit signs
of degradation after 5–6 months.
When Do the Source Lamps Need to be Replaced?
Indications of Source Lamp failures are:

• Unstable lamp voltage (check voltage levels on the Lamp Operations
diagnostic screen). Compare these values to the values recorded when
the lamps were new.

Source Lamp, AMETEK recommends changing out both Source
NOTE
Lamps to ensure optimal operation and to minimize additional service
and downtime.
• Lamp 1 is the one closest to the Measuring Cell.

• The cathode of each Lamp must be centred on the optical axis of the
Beamsplitter for optimal operation of the analyzer. The cathode and
the outer envelope of the Source Lamp are not necessarily concentric
or consistent from lamp to lamp.
• A new Lamp must be aligned (rotated) to ensure optimal operation of
the analyzer – this is described in the section “Source Lamp Replace-
ment” in the following pages.
! Certain applications require different source lamps; do not inter-

change the lamps from their original positions. Refer to “Optical

b. After the Auto Setup is complete, view the Auto Setup Results
screen and check the PMT HV Msr and Ref supply voltage values
for both PMTs. Record these setpoints (which are adjusted during
the Auto Setup).
Also from the Auto Setup Result screen, check the Base and
Filterx (where ‘x’ = Filters 1 through 6) readings for the lamp\
filter combinations being used. Record these setpoints (which
are adjusted during the Auto Setup). Note and record the filter/
lamp combination with the highest mA value. This is the weakest
wavelength which will be used in the lamp alignment procedure.
 Filters that aren’t used for the specific lamp will display a value that
corresponds with the Base reading. For example, if the unused filters
NOTE
are Filters 2, 4, 6 , the displayed values for these filters will read
“0.250,” the same as the Base reading.

13. Align and adjust the position of the lamps to maximize the Filter with
the weakest signal level. To do this:
 For single-species analyzers, only two filters will be displayed; for

multi-species analyzer, up to six filters will be displayed.
NOTE
If the lamp pulse current-control value for a filter location is at base

(or less), that filter location is not used.

c. Slowly rotate the new lamp until a position is found that maxi-
mizes the weakest signal (Maximum = 10.000). Since the HMI is
updated at 2-second intervals, use slow, small movements, paus-
ing each turn to view the new value.
For example, while observing the weakest signal, slowly rotate

Lamp 1 until its value has been maximized (value closest to
10.000).
 Because the Automatic Lamp Control (ALC enable function) is

turned Off when this screen is active, the displayed signal may not be

perfectly steady.
d. Loosen the Locking Screw, located between the two source lamps.
While viewing the Align Lamp screen, further maximize the signal
by adjusting the Lamp (1 or 2) Adjusting Screw for the lamp that is
being aligned. Again, use slow, small movements, pausing each turn
to view the new value, which is updated at 2-second intervals.
Repeat this entire step for the second lamp, if replaced.
14. After the signal for both lamps has been maximized, retighten the
Locking Screw.
15. Tighten the Lamp Clamping Screw only enough to secure the lamps.
Do not over-tighten these screws; the springs should not be col-
lapsed.
16. Allow the analyzer to operate for 15 minutes and then initiate another
Auto Setup, which automatically turns on the ALC function. The Auto
Setup is complete after it has progressed through all eight steps and
the message “completed” is displayed on the Auto Setup screen.
From the Auto Setup Results screen (Figure 6-6.3) record the values
for each filter/lamp combination for long-term diagnostics.
19. Return the analyzer to Sample mode.
21. Adjust the sample gas flow rate to the normal operating flow rate.

Troubleshooting and Diagnostics
The Model 9900RM Analyzer incorporates a built-in diagnostics function
that continuously monitors the operation of all analyzer operating pa-
rameters. Status code conditions generated by operating parameters that
exceed the factory-set parameter setpoints or generated by problems with
the electronics are detected by the analyzer and displayed on the HMI.
This section describes how the analyzer detects and displays Status code
conditions associated with its operation, what the conditions mean, and
action to take to clear the conditions.
Figure 6-9.
Diagnostic menu.
This section also discusses how to view diagnostic data from a variety of
analyzer diagnostic screens, and how to view current Status code condi-
tions from the HMI. Generally, most troubleshooting and diagnostics can
be done while working from the HMI.

Diagnosing Problems With the Analyzer System
The diagnostic information can be viewed from the various Diagnostic
screens (Figure 6-9). Use these screens to view data about everything from
PMT Signals to UV Analysis Results, to Data Trending (graphing data), as
described in the following pages. To view diagnostic information, press
one of the BLUE buttons in the upper section of the screen. These individ-
ual screens are described in detail in the following pages. While viewing
any of the diagnostic screens, press to return to the main Diagnostic
menu or press to return to the home screen.

Types of Status Code Conditions
There are two types of status code conditions:
• Warning Status Conditions

Warning conditions are non-critical status conditions which, when
triggered, alert the operator to problems with the analyzer or sample
system conditions. These conditions indicate that the analyzer data
may be suspect. The analyzer requires attention. Investigate the cause
of the status code and take appropriate actions to correct the condi-
tions.
• Fault Status Conditions

Fault conditions are critical status conditions which, when triggered,
will prevent the analyzer from reporting valid data. These conditions
indicate that a fault has occurred and the analyzer is not operating
properly – the results are not valid. The analyzer requires service.
Investigate the cause of the status code and take appropriate actions to
correct the conditions.
Detecting Status Code Conditions
When status conditions are detected, you can view the conditions from
the UV Bench Status diagnostic screen. Methods to notify you of detected
Warning or Fault status conditions include:
• From the home screen, the DIAG button can alert you to status con-
ditions:
- If this button is WHITE, the status is normal; no Warning or Fault
conditions have been detected.
- If this button is ORANGE and flashing, a Warning condition has
been detected. The analyzer requires attention.
- If this button is RED and flashing, a Fault condition has been de-
tected. The analyzer requires service.
• While working from screens that have the (home) button, this
button can alert you to status conditions:
- If the button changes to ORANGE ( ) it indicates the ana-

lyzer is operating with one or more Warning conditions.
- If the button changes to RED ( ) it indicates the analyzer

is operating with one or more Fault conditions.

Viewing PMT Signals Diagnostic Information
The PMT Signals diagnostic screen displays the real-time value of the
Photomultiplier Tube (PMT) Measure (Msr) and Reference (Ref) voltage (V),
for each lamp\filter combination. Only values for the lamp\filter combina-
tions being used will be displayed.

Viewing Data Trending Diagnostic Information
The Data Trending diagnostic screen allows you to display, in a graphical

format, trends of real-time concentration results of each UV species be-
ing measured by the analyzer (UV Analyzer Results), UV Optical Bench
related signals (UV Bench Signals), and the species being measured by
optional sensors (Sensor Signals). While working from the Data Trending
diagnostic screen, press the button for the data set you wish to view on a
graph. These three operations are described in the following pages.
This screen also allows you to log data trending information stored in the
HMI directly to a USB Flash Drive using two different methods, for further
analysis on a computer (these methods are described later in this section):
• One-time transfer of trend data.
• Continuous transfer of trend data.
Do not cycle the analyzer power on if there is a hazardous gas

atmosphere present, unless a power-disconnect switch (approved
for the Hazardous Area) has been installed for use with the ana-
lyzer.
Do not remove the Analyzer Enclosure cover and do not attempt

to connect or disconnect the USB Flash Drive (or cable) to or
from the USB port on the HMI if there is a hazardous gas atmo-
sphere present. Before connecting a USB Flash Drive (or cable) to
the USB port on the HMI, test the area around the analyzer for
hazardous gases and proceed only when the area is found to be
safe.
For Division 2/Zone 2 analyzers, ensure the USB Flash Drive is

secured in the USB port with its Locking Clip.

Other information on the Data Trending screen related to the transfer of

data includes:
• The USB DRIVE indicators alert you to the current status of the USB
Flash Drive, either:
- inserted: When this light is ORANGE, it indicates there is a USB
Flash Drive inserted into the USB port on the HMI. When OFF, it
indicates there is no USB Flash Drive connected or the data trans-
fer is complete.
or
- writing: When this light is ORANGE, it indicates the HMI is
transferring data to the USB Flash Drive. Do not remove the USB
Flash Drive from the HMI while data is being written to it. When
OFF, it indicates there is no data being transferred to the USB Flash
Drive or the data transfer is complete.
• The LOGGING TO USB switch allows you to initiate the transfer of

trend data to a USB Flash Drive.

Saving Trend Data From the HMI to a USB Flash Drive – One-Time Transfer
The Data Trending screen (Figure 6-17.1) is used to initiate the transfer of
analyzer information to a USB Flash Drive.
 The HMI stores the latest 12 hours of trend data. This procedure al-
lows for a one-time transfer of the data stored on the HMI to the USB

o SAMP02: Sensor measurements including BoardTemp, BenchTemp, CellTemp, CellPres, FlowRate, O2% and O2Temp.
o SAMP03: UV bench signal group A including PMT Signals and Lamp Base and Pulse Current,
o SAMP03: UV bench signal group B including PMT HV, Lamp HV and Motor and Wheel RPM.
To do a one-time transfer of trend data from the HMI to the USB Flash
Drive:
1. From the Data Trending screen, check to ensure the “inserted” light is
on (ORANGE).
! Before removing the USB Flash Drive in Step 2, power down the
analyzer/HMI unit and then disconnect the HMI’s Communication
WARNING
module from its HMI Display to allow access to the USB Flash Drive.


2. Start transferring data by pressing the LOGGING TO USB switch to
turn it ON. Once ON is indicated, change the switch back to OFF. The
transfer of trend data will start and both “inserted” and “writing” lights
turn on (ORANGE). Do not remove the USB Flash Drive from the
HMI while data is being written to it.
The data transfer will take several seconds. When both “inserted” and
“writing” lights turn off, the USB Flash Drive can be safely removed. Fig-
ure 6-17.2 shows the contents of the USB Flash Drive, and describes how
the different directories are used.
Continuous Logging of Trend Data to a USB Flash Drive
 The USB Flash Drive supplied by AMETEK (comes inserted in the

analyzer HMI’s USB port on the bottom of the HMI, inside the
NOTE
analyzer enclosure) is 1 GB, which can store approximately 2.5 years
of continuously logged data. However, to avoid problems with logging
data to the USB Flash Drive, AMETEK recommends saving the logged
data to a PC annually (such as during regular maintenance) and then
deleting the contents of the USB Flash Drive.
To start continuous logging of trend data from the HMI to the USB Flash
Drive:
1. On the Data Trending screen, check to ensure the “inserted” light is on

(ORANGE).
2. Press the LOGGING TO USB switch to turn it ON. This will initiate
data logging and the transfer of trend data continuously to the USB Flash
Drive.
To stop continuous logging of trend data to the USB Flash Drive:
1. Press the LOGGING TO USB switch to turn it OFF. This will stop data
logging and the transfer of trend data to the USB Flash Drive.
2. On the Data Trending screen, check the “inserted” light is on

(ORANGE).
3. Wait for both “inserted” and “writing” lights to turn off.

APPENDIX A – OPTIONS
This Appendix is reserved for optional equipment. For systems with op-
tional equipment, some information about certain options is included in
the main body of this manual, or in Manual Supplements that can be found
in the “Supplemental Information” folder of the Analyzer Documentation
Package CD, or in the Supplemental Information section of this manual.
Additional information about optional equipment will be included here.
Paramagnetic O2 Sensor Concentration Measurement

The O2 concentration is measured using a Paramagnetic O2 Sensor in-
stalled in the Analyzer Enclosure (Figure A-1). The O2 concentration value
can be set up to be displayed simultaneously with the other concentra-
tions on the home screen. The O2 Sensor manual (Pm1158 Oxygen Trans-
ducer Instruction Manual) accompanies this manual when this option is
installed at the factory. For internal component layout options, see Figures
A-2 and A-3.
 Reducing the sample flow rate may reduce excessive noise on the out-
put signal when the paramagnetic O2 Sensor is used.

APPENDIX B – MODBUS® REGISTERS MAP
Overview
 Refer to Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 for instructions on enabling, dis-

abling, and configuring each Modbus communication interface.
NOTE
The UV9000 is the core analysis subsystem of a Series-9900 Analyzer sys-

tem. The UV9000 analysis subsystem can communicate with other devices
or systems using the Modbus-RTU serial protocol on two built-in RS-485
ports. The UV9000 subsystem acts as a Modbus slave device on both ports
with the default address of 101. Both ports are isolated and support 4-wire
and 2-wire systems.
One RS-485 port (RS-485:1), accessed via J501 of the UV9000 Bench Con-
troller board (100-2380), is reserved for communicating with the HMI. The
UV Bench-HMI communication link operates at 38.4 kbps, 8 data bits, 1
stop bit, and no parity. The HMI can be integrated in a Series-9900 Ana-
lyzer system or be located remotely.
The second RS-485 port (RS-485:2) can be accessed either at J502 of the
UV9000 Bench Controller board or at TB1 of the Customer I/O board
(100-2380). The port is available to communicate with a Modbus master
device (e.g., PLC and PC), or through the customer communication sys-
tem (e.g., DCS). The default communication settings are 38.4 kbps, 8 data
bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
Appendix B – Modbus® Registers Map | B-1

Changing Communication Settings
The baud rate, number of stop bits, and parity of the RS-485:2 port can
be changed via Modbus communication from either the HMI or a mas-
ter device. The slave address, common to both RS-485 ports, can also be
changed from the HMI. If the slave address is changed, the communica-
tion setup of the HMI must be changed to match via the HMI’s off-line
menu.
To make the change to the communication settings to take effect, the

change is required to be saved to the UV9000’s on-board non-volatile
memory and the UV9000 subsystem is reset.
Modbus Registers
Refer to the section “Analyzer Modbus Register Map” for the definitions
and descriptions of the Modbus registers available on the UV9000 analysis
subsystem. There are 439 data items that are grouped into categories:
• Analysis data (live UV concentration results)
• Photometric measurement data (absorbances and transmittances)
• Sensor measurement data (temperature, pressure, flow rate and O2
measurement results)
• Calibration status, command, configuration and results
• UV bench setup status, command, configuration and results
• UV bench operations configuration and diagnostic
• System identification and operations command and status
• Communication configuration
• Temperature control status and configuration
• Sensor measurement configuration
• Customer input/output state and configuration
• Analysis operations and configuration
• Track-hold analysis data (concentration results) and configuration
Result and status registers have read-only access; configuration and most
command registers are read-write accessible. Result and status register
values are updated once per second.
Floating point values in IEEE single-precision format and 32-bit integer

values occupy two standard 16-bit Modbus registers. Modicon convention
is used in formatting floating point and 32-bit integer values (i.e., the first
register holds the lower 16 bits and the second register holds the upper 16
bits).
B-2 | Model 9900RM Analyzer

Modbus-TCP/Ethernet Support
Modbus-TCP/Ethernet support is provided in two ways. For full-function
access to the Modbus registers, a Modbus gateway is required to bridge
between the Modbus-RTU and the Modbus-TCP networks. The gateway
can be connected to the RS-485:2 port at the UV9000 Bench Controller
board or the Customer I/O board.
If full-function access to the Modbus registers is not required and the op-
tional HMI is installed as part of the analyzer system, Modbus-TCP/Ether-
net support with reduced functionality is provided via the HMI. Through
the HMI’s Ethernet port, all read-only registers and these command and
operation state registers are accessible:
• Calibration action initiation register (#82);
• Analysis sample source register (#320);
• Track-hold operation state register (#667).
With reduced functionality, analysis and measurement results and status

and diagnostic information are still fully available to the Modbus master
device; the Modbus master device can also initiate actions typically re-
quired of the analyzer system. However, the result, status, and diagnostic
register values are only updated once every two seconds.

The Modbus register map defined below applies to both Modbus commu-
nication interfaces (RTU on RS-485 and TCP on Ethernet) on the analyzer.

Note: As certain compensation steps in the analysis algorithm (e.g., absorbance
offset and compressibility) are valid and applicable only if the gas sample in the
analysis cell comes from the process stream, this register allows the Modbus master
to inform the UV9900 system the source of the sample (i.e., from the process
stream, or from non-process stream such as backpurge air, or calibration cylinder, or
non-sampling condition such as isolated sample line or isolated sample probe).

Notes:
1) The “0 --> 1” command transition initiates the holding of concentration results.
2) If the hold time for a species is “0”, the corresponding concentration result is held
until the “1 --> 0” command transition.
3) If the hold time for a species has a positive value, the result is held for the time
specified and returns to tracking when the time expires, unless at the end of the
specified hold time, the command is still “1”. In that case, the hold continues until the
“1 --> 0” command transition.
