G3600/G3601 Inert Gas Sampling Boards
1 Introduction
The sampling boards can be combined with the G36a Oxygen Analyzer or the G36p Oxy-
gen Analyzer (panel mounted). One sampling board and one analyzer forms a complete
inert gas oxygen analyzing system, hereafter named an IGOA System.
The instructions for installation, operation, and maintenance of the analyzers are provid-
ed in separate manuals:
• the G36a Oxygen Analyzer manual (p#01245)
• the G36p Oxygen Analyzer manual (p#01381)
Please read both this manual as well as the relevant oxygen analyzer manual carefully in
their entirety. The instructions have been made in general terms and do not take into con-
sideration the existing equipment of the inert gas system and its installation.
As such, the manual is designed for the standard Green Instruments IGOA System. Virtu-
ally all systems are fitted with a G36a Oxygen Analyzer. Therefore, this manual focuses
on the installation, operation, and maintenance of an IGOA System fitted with the G36a
Oxygen Analyzer.
This manual does not describe all possible situations but only the most common and
known situations. It cannot replace the necessary education and training of the personnel.
Should situations not described in the manual occur, which cannot be solved in accord-
ance with normal known practice and good workmanship, the operator should contact
Green Instruments for instructions.
Green Instruments A/S reserves the right to minor alterations and improvements owing to
developments without being obliged to enter the corresponding changes in this manual.
Green Instruments A/S reserves the copyright of this manual. Without prior written per-
mission of Green Instruments A/S, the manual may not be copied and given to unauthor-
ized people.
In all correspondence or when ordering spare parts, please carefully state the equipment
type and serial number, which you can find on the label on the back of the G36p Oxygen
Analyzer or on the right side of the G36a Oxygen Analyzer.
Green Instruments A/S appreciates all feedback and suggestions for improvement. If you

The successful and safe operation of this equipment is dependent upon proper handling,
installation, operation, and maintenance.
Recycling
Do not dispose any part of the sampling system with regular waste. Disposal should be in
accordance with the requirements of the current statutory regulations.
The connection for sample gas is located in the top left corner of the system board at the
sample manifold. It is possible to connect up to three samples to the manifold. The three
connections are all arranged as 1/8" BSP female connections, and marked from bottom:
1, 2, and 3. The system is supplied with the manifold sample ports plugged.

The double sampling board consists of a single sampling board described in the previous
section and an extension board mounted on the right hand side of the single board. This
extension board consists of a mounting panel, an oxygen analyzer, and a selector box for
switching output signals between the two analyzers.

The analyzers are prewired with the selector box, which can be Type G3505 (old type) or
Type G36. The interfaces of the analyzer are the same as described in the analyzer manu-
al.
The power supply and signal output cables are connected to the selector box. The electri-
cal connections are dependent on the actual system configuration. Only those functions to
be used shall be connected. Please see Figure 3-5 for details of all standard connections
to the selector box Type G3505; and Figure 3-6 for details of all standard connections to
the selector box Type G36.

The extension board is delivered with two angle irons that are used to mount the exten-
sion board. These extension mounting brackets are delivered with holes and bolts, so that
the extension board can be mounted directly to the right side of the single sampling
board. Alternatively, the extension board can be installed at a distance of up to 1.3 meters
from the sampling board.
Sensor housing
When retrofitting a single sampling board with an extension board, the sensor housing
must be changed to a double type for two sensors (unless the single sampling board is al-
ready arranged with a double sensor house). When installing the double sensor housing,
please tighten the tube fittings carefully by using a second wrench to prevent the fixed
body from turning.
Please note that you will have to configure each analyzer separately when you want to
change the settings for the alarms or the analog signal. See chapter 5 in the analyzer
manual for configuration and commissioning.

4 Commissioning
Before starting the system for the first time after completing the installation, please check
the installation of the system.
er, too high velocity – indicated by an enormous number of bubbles, will change the sen-
sor temperature and consequently the readings.
• Turn the selector valve to Test Gas and the calibration selector valve to Zero Gas
and adjust the zero gas reduction station until the flow is about the same as noted for the
sample gas by observing the bubble flow.
• Turn the calibration selector valve to Span Gas and adjust the span gas reduction
station until the flow is about the same as noted for the sample gas by observing the bub-
ble flow.
Now, the system is ready for calibration following the instructions in chapter 6 in the ana-
lyzer manual.

5 Routine Maintenance
The system including sample and test gas selector valves and flow control valves is test-
ed from the factory.
For the selector valve packing, adjustment may be required for leak-tight performance.
Adjust the packing by turning the packing bolt clockwise in 1/16-turn increments until
leak-tight performance is achieved. Always verify proper operation upon installation.
Protect the reduction units from the ultraviolet rays and adhesion of organic solvents.
Depressurize the reduction stations before cleaning and service.
Filter
The filter element located on top of the bubble glass will require periodical replacement.
The changing period will be determined based on actual sample condition and how dirty
the filter gets. When changing the filter, the sample flow control valve must be closed so
that the system is completely isolated from the sample or calibration gas. The filter ele-
ment is removed by unscrewing the filter top.
Check the condition of the filter O-ring seals and replace if required. For spare parts, see
the list of spare parts in chapter 6.
Bubble glass
Check the level in the bubble glass daily and refill with clean (preferably distilled) water
as required. It is recommended to drain the bubble glass monthly and refill with clean
(preferably distilled) water. The bubble glass may need internal cleaning. Clean with neu-
tral detergent. O-rings for the bubble glass may require replacement for leak free opera-
tion.
Prevent the glass from ultraviolet rays and adhesion of organic solvents. For spare parts,
see the list of spare parts in chapter 6.
Please also check that the vent line functions uninterrupted and secures a sufficient gas
flow. There must not be a build-up of pressure in the bubble glass.
Note
After you change the gasket ring or clean the bubble glass tube, do not tight the nut
at the bottom of the bubble glass too hard. Otherwise, the bubble glass tube can
break.
5.3 Analyzer
See chapter 7 in the oxygen analyzer manual for routine maintenance of the analyzer.
5.4 Sensor
The sensor is considered a consumable part. A reduced lifetime can occur if the sensor is
exposed to lead, phosphorus, silicon, halogens, or high concentration of sulfur. Further-
more, the ceramic element of the sensor can be damaged if it is exposed to water or
shock.

6 Spare Parts
Spare parts are not included in the standard delivery. Spare parts can be ordered when
necessary. When ordering spare parts, please mention the serial number of the analyzer,
which you can find on the label on the right side of the blue analyzer box.
