Product overview
The 4900 Multigas Analzyer is designed to meet the needs of regulatory emissions
monitoring and providing feedback / feedforward control purposes in industrial and
combustion related processes.
The analyzer is a highly customizable, very low maintenance instrument that can monitor
up to four gases at one time. It uses ultra-stable paramagnetic and non-dispersive infrared
(NDIR) with gas filter correlation (GFX) technologies plus single beam single wavelength
infrared (SBSW IR).

The analyzer normally has one inlet and outlet stream carrying gas to all of the
transducers at the same time. A second stream can be provided for the following
configurations:
a. If an external Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) converter is to be used, a NO transducer will be
fitted in the second stream for direct use with the NO2 converter.
b. If an isolated dilution gas stream is used for O2/CO2 then a CO transducer can be fitted
to the second stream.
The standard unit weighs approximately 14 kg (30.9 lbs). When fitted with the extended
chassis (required when multiple GFX sensors are chosen) this increases by approximately
13.7 kg (30.2 lbs).
The analyzer can be configured as bench, panel or 19-inch rack mounted.
The dimensions of the standard analyzer (without ears for bench mounting) is 132.5mm
(5.2”) high (or 265.5 mm (10.5”) high with extended chassis), 430.5 mm (17”) wide and
544.2 mm (21.4”) deep. The rack mount analyzer is 132.5 mm (5.2”) high (265.5 mm
(10.5”) high with the extended chassis), 482 mm (19”) wide and 544.2 mm (21.4”) deep.
The analyzer is not intended for use with corrosive samples and requires a gas
conditioning system if the gas stream is hot and wet. This provides protection of the
analyzer and little routine maintenance. Replacement of an external filter element, if one is
fitted, is the only maintenance item.
Calibration is essential for the accuracy of sample gas measurements and should be done
on a regular basis per recommendations in Section 1.5 for the transducers ordered, or as
required by the local regulatory body.
General description
The 4900 Multigas analyzer is simple to operate, with an intuitive user interface that will
display data from external sources. The chassis accepts up to four gas modules. It
provides power, gas connections and other support functions to the gas sensor modules
and processes their outputs to provide the sample gas concentrations. Gas measurements
are shown on the analyzer display and at the same time are sent out of the analyzer to
other devices using serial, milliamp (mA), voltage or digital communications protocols.
The analyzer supports up to four external analog input signals that can then be displayed
on the screen as measurement signals, and output through the analog and/or the serial
outputs or accessed using Modbus or PROFIBUS protocols. These external input signals
can be recorded, used to activate relays, or trigger auto-calibration / validation routines or
low / high alarms.
Included with each analyzer ordered:
• 4 Relays contacts provided as standard (up to 8 relays per option board, 32 relays max
with 4 option boards)
Included with each transducer ordered:

• Each transducer is configured with one option board
• Two alarms are activated (up to 8 alarms per option board, 32 max with 4 option
boards)

Profibus, Ethernet (Modbus TCP/IP)
• Flow meters (floating element rotameter) to monitor and needle valves to control
sample gas flow through the instrument – a maximum of two if the dual sample inlet /
outlet option is used.
• A sample flow switch to monitor sample flow and alarm when the flow is too low – only
one allowed per analyzer.
• Second inlet and outlet gas sample stream (Stream #2) may be fitted with:
a. A NO transducer, to be used with a user-provided external NO2 converter.
b. A CO transducer if required to be paired with dilution gas transducers CO2 and/or
O2.
Note: If a flow switch is ordered for use in a dual sample inlet/outlet, then the flow switch
is installed on the Stream #1.
Note: It is recommended to fit an external 0.01 microns sample filter to protect the gas
transducer modules from particulate contamination
Use this manual for:

Recommended calibration intervals
For optimum performance, it is necessary to routinely check the calibration of all the
internal gas transducers within the analyzer. The recommended periods for each
transducer type are shown in Section 11.4.
This manual provides details of the following:
• the requirements for and configuration of calibration ancillaries (e.g. gases)
• the setup of the auto-calibration / validation routines
• the connection of external solenoid valves (when auto-calibration is used)
• the use of the RS232 output and remote initiation of calibration
• the use of Modbus or PROFIBUS to initiate calibration
If the intended use of this equipment is to monitor process systems
critical for Health and Safety purposes, it is the sole responsibility of the
installer and operator to see that this instrument is commissioned,
maintained and calibrated in a manner consistent with the customer’s
specific application. Continued safe and reliable operation of this
equipment is conditional on all installation, operation and maintenance
procedures being carried out in accordance with the appropriate
manuals, by personnel having appropriate qualifications, experience and
training. Failure to observe the requirements of the manual may result in
the user being held responsible for the consequences. In no event shall
Servomex be liable for any incidental, consequential or special damages
of any kind or nature whatsoever, including but not limited to lost profits
arising from or in any way connected with this instruments use.

Automatic calibration options
Two functions are provided when the optional Auto-Cal feature is ordered. These functions
are performed on the transducer.
• Auto-calibration: Changes the actual calibration curve
• Auto-validation: Reads the value to determine if it is within the specified tolerance,

making no changes to the calibration curve.
Each transducer can have up to three sequences of auto-calibration or auto-validation
attached to it.
To use the auto-calibration/ validation routine, customer supplied solenoid valves will be
controlled by discrete wiring to the relays for each of the transducers for running sample,
zero and span gases (see Section 3.3.3).
The automatic calibration procedure may be started by any of the following:
• A trigger from the internal instrument clock
• An external contact closure
• A Modbus or PROFIBUS command
Note: When the optional auto-calibration option is configured, the manual calibration
process will use the auto-calibration valves to select the calibration gases as
required.

Sample requirements
For best performance the flow supplied to the analyzer should be kept at a constant value
and the analyzer must be freely vented to atmosphere, for both process sampling and for
calibration gas input.
Flow Rate: Nominal 1500 mL/min (Min 500 mL/min, Max 2000 mL/min)
Temperature: 5 to 45°C / 41 to 113°F
Dew point: 5°C / 9°F below minimum ambient
Condition: Oil free, non - condensing, filtered to 1m
Vent: Connect the outlet of the analyzer to a separate atmospheric
vent, free from any back-pressure
Warm up Time: Typically, 24 hours from cold start to 20°C / 68°F
High sensitivity measurements may take longer to warm
up.
Pay particular consideration to the toxicity and asphyxiant nature of the

sample gas when selecting a vent location.
Corrosive gases are not intended to be used in these analyzers.
Make sure that if pressurized gases are used to keep the pressure below
8psig (55kPa g).

Do not exceed the rated flow or pressure as transducer damage may
result. Best practice is to place a pressure relief valve on the inlet line,
venting any gas to a safe exhaust area.

2 Safety
General warnings
Before you attempt to install, commission or use the 4900 Multigas
analyzer, read this manual carefully.
Do not attempt to install, commission, maintain or use the 4900 Multigas

analyzer unless you are trained and know what you are doing. The
analyzer must be maintained by a suitably skilled and competent person.
Do not connect the 4900 Multigas analyzer to a power source until all
relays, input/ output signals and plumbing connections are made.
This analyzer must be operated in a manner consistent with its intended

use and as specified in this manual.
The 4900 Multigas analyzer is only suitable for installation in safe areas.
The maximum pressure to the analyzer must be limited 8psig (55kPa g)

by means of a suitable release system such as a pressure release valve
or needle valve installed in line with the analyzer inlet streams.
Do not modify the unit, either mechanically or electrically, or the

certification and warranty of the instrument will be invalidated, and it
may not operate safely.
The 4900 Multigas analyzer includes few user-serviceable parts which,

are called out in the spare list in the appendix.
Do not use the 4900 Multigas analyzer as Personal Protective Equipment

(PPE).
Make sure that all floors or platforms where you install the 4900 Multigas
analyzer are large enough for you to move freely and to change position.
The 4900 Multigas analyzer may be attached to equipment that is hot.

Always wear the appropriate PPE to minimize the risk of burns.

Chemical warnings
Sample and calibration gases may be toxic or asphyxiant:
• Make sure that the external connections are leak free at full
operating pressure before you use sample or calibration gases.
• Make sure that the sample/bypass outlet pipes are vented to an
area where the gases will not be a hazard to people.
• Make sure that the analyzer is used in a sufficiently well-
ventilated environment, to prevent the build-up of toxic gases.
• Make sure that the pipes that you connect to the analyzer are
routed so that they do not present a hazard to people.
• Never inspect the inlet filter(s), or service or repair the analyzer
while such gases are still connected to it.
• If the analyzer is to be serviced or repaired, it is important that all
pipework is flushed with an inert gas and the analyzer is allowed
to freely vent to local atmosphere.
Where there is a risk of release of potentially harmful gases into the

operating environment, always use suitable monitoring equipment.
The 4900 Multigas is not suitable for use with corrosive samples.
Electrical warnings
Always observe the appropriate electrical safety codes and regulations.
Make sure that the electrical installation of the analyzer conforms with all
applicable local and national electrical safety requirements.
Potentially hazardous AC voltages are present within this instrument.

Leave all internal servicing to qualified personnel. Disconnect the AC
power source before installing or removing any external connections.
Make sure the analyzer is provided with a sound earth connection via the
electrical supply plug.
Make sure the electrical supply coupler or plug is easily accessible for
disconnection from the electrical supply.
All signal and electrical supply cables must be rated for temperatures of
70°C or higher.

The I/O terminals and connections are separated from the analyzer
mains circuits by reinforced insulation. The terminals must only be
connected to circuits that are themselves separated from mains voltages
by at least reinforced insulation.
Make sure that the cables that you connect to the analyzer are routed so
they do not present a trip hazard.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) considerations

The 4900 Multigas analyzer meets the essential requirements of the European EMC
Directive (2014/30/EU). The transducer and the 4-20 mA loop are electrically connected
but are isolated from the analyzer housing and sample cell fitting threads.
The analyzer generates and uses small amounts of radio frequency energy. There is no
guarantee that interference from radio or television signals will not occur in a particular
installation. If interference is experienced, switch off the analyzer to see if the interference
disappears. If it does, try one or more of the following methods to correct the problem:
• Re-orient the receiving antenna.
• Move the instrument with respect to the receiver.
• Place the analyzer and receiver on different AC circuits.
Always consider the following electromagnetic interference issues when installing the 4900
Multigas analyzer:
To provide an acceptable noise environment for the 4900 Multigas

analyzer or other digital equipment in the proximity of switching
inductive loads, Servomex recommends that you place varistors across
the inductors to lessen high voltage spikes that occur during transitions.
Circuitry activated by relay contacts should allow for the contact

bounce. One simple method is to place a capacitor across the relay
contacts.
Route AC power wiring as far from the analyzer and its wiring as
possible.

Markings
Figure 2-1: Rear of the 4900 Multigas analyzer
The 4900 Multigas analyzer includes the following external markings on the rear panel and
correspond to:
Do not connect any cables carrying mains voltage or cables that have

3.3.3 Analog input signal connections

The analog input terminals are separated from the analyzer mains
circuits by reinforced insulation. The terminals must only be connected
to circuits that are themselves separated from mains voltages by at least
reinforced insulation.
To comply with EMC requirements, shielded cables must be used to

connect the analog inputs.
The analyzer must supply power for any mA input devices. Do not
allow devices on the inputs to supply power or the input readings may
not be valid.
Analog input number “X” shares the same isolated reference as the
analog output with the same number. This reference is isolated from
the rest of the chassis as well as from the other analog inputs and
outputs. Do not allow equipment wired to an input number X to be
grounded to the same frame as equipment reading from output number
X, or both input and output X readings may not be valid.
Refer to Table 3-1 to identify which screw terminal (J20, J21, J37, and J38) is connected
to which gas transducer position.

3.3.4 Relay connections
Figure 3-4: Rear of 4900 Multigas
The relay connections are separated from the analyzer mains circuits by
reinforced insulation. The terminals must only be connected to circuits
that are themselves separated from mains voltages by at least reinforced
insulation.

Note: The relays do not have default settings unless Auto-Cal is selected. Users can
create alarms and assign them to any relay (Section 10.2).
Note: When Auto-Cal is purchased, each transducer has 8 relays available with 3 relays
preassigned - the 6th assigned to Zero, the 7th to Span and the 8th to the Sample
gas. The 1st to the 5th relays can be assigned to any alarm or function even if it is
not related to that particular gas transducer (Section 10.2).
The analyzer relays are accessible via the connectors J9-J16 and J26-J33. Connect one
end of your cable wire to the screw terminal for the relevant relay connector as shown in
Table 3-3. Each connector has two relays assigned to it where the “X” in XNO, XC, XNC
represents the relay number, NO is Normally Open, C is Closed and NC is Normally

3.3.5 Connect the electrical supply
Make sure that your external electrical supply outlet is isolated and
locked-out before you connect the conductors in the electrical supply
cable.
Only use the power supply cord provided with the unit.
Make sure the analyzer is suitable for use with your electrical supply
voltage and frequency (Section 12). If the analyzer is not suitable, it may
not operate correctly, or it may be damaged if you operate it.
The analyzer is supplied with an electrical supply cable and plug, configured for your
electrical supply. Connect the electrical supply to the analyzer as follows:
1. Turn the Power Switch on the back of the unit to OFF: press the “O“ on the On/Off
switch shown in Figure 3-5 A.
2. Fit the IEC plug on the end of the electrical supply cable provided to the electrical
supply socket on the rear of the analyzer (Figure 3-5 B).
A
B
Figure 3-5: Power switch (A) and electrical supply socket (B) on rear of analyzer
3. Plug the other end of the electrical supply cable into your electrical supply outlet.
4. Check the earth (ground) continuity between your electrical supply outlet earth
(ground) and the functional earth (ground) terminal on the rear of the analyzer.
5. If a local earth bonding is required, the functional earth stud can be used. The earth
ground cable must be kept to less than 3 meters to comply with EMC standards.
This does not replace the earth conductor on the electrical supply
socket which must always be connected. Therefore never cut or
remove any of the metal pieces from the supplied plug.

Sample / calibration gas connections
The 4900 Multigas must not be used with flammable gases.

operating pressure before you use sample or calibration gases.
• Make sure that the analyzer is used in a sufficiently well-ventilated
environment, to prevent the build-up of toxic gases.
It is essential that the analyzer is isolated from the sample system until
any cleaning solvents are fully purged from the pipelines. Failure to take
this precaution may lead to contamination of the transducer, which will
be observed as an offset and drift in output.
3.4.1 Sample and Calibration Gas Inlets and Outlets
Hint: This section gives simple instructions about connecting the sample and
calibration gas pipelines to the analyzer.
Sample and calibration gases pass into the analyzer via Sample Inlet 1 (Figure 3-6 A) and
out via Sample Outlet 1 used (Figure 3-6 B).
Sample Inlet 2 and Sample Outlet 2 are installed if required for a Nitric Oxide (NO)
transducer (for use with an external Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) converter) or a Carbon
Monoxide (CO) transducer. (see Figure 3-6).
Figure 3-6: Gas inlets and outlets for two sample streams.

3.4.2 Gas connections
Connect your sample/calibration gas inlet and outlet pipelines to the Sample Inlet 1 and
Sample Outlet 1 fittings on the rear of the analyzer. See Table 3-7 for the specification of
the fittings. Do not over-tighten the fittings.
An optional second stream will be plumbed on Inlet / Outlet #2 when required for a NO
transducer (for use with an external NO2 converter) or a CO transducer.
Table 3-7: 4900 Multigas sample port fittings
Component Fitting Comment
Sample Inlet 1 1/8" NPT female Available as standard
Only available when configured with a NO

Sample Inlet 2 1/8" NPT female transducer (for use with a customer supplied
external NO2 converter) or a CO transducer.
Sample Outlet 1 1/4" NPT female Available as standard
Only available when configured with a NO

Sample Outlet 2 1/4" NPT female transducer (for use with a customer supplied
external NO2 converter) or a CO transducer.
Note: It is recommended an external filter is fitted (see accessories in Section 16) at the
analyzer inlet or, if preferred, at a convenient point in the sample line prior to the
inlet.
3.4.3 Gas Flow Rate

Flow control on the inlet to the analyzer must be provided by the end user using mass flow
controllers, manual adjustable valves like needle valves, or electronically controlled
metering valves.
Optional (rotameter floating element) flow meter with an integrated metering valve can be
configured with the analyzer when ordering through Servomex. In this case the flow
adjustment is made with a small screw driver inserted through the hole under the flow
meter and observing the scale indication at the top of the float (See Figure 3-7).
If two gas stream inlet / outlets are configured, then flow meter 1 on the front panel shows
the flow on stream #1 while flow meter 2 shows the flow on stream #2.
The rotameters are used only for visually checking there is gas flowing through the
analyzer and that it does not exceed the flow rate of the instrument. An optional internal
flow monitor provides a diagnostic indicator to alert locally or remotely when flow is not
going through the analyzer.

For best performance the flow supplied to the analyzer should be kept at a constant value
and the analyzer freely vented to atmosphere for both process sampling and for calibration
gas input. A nominal flow of 1500 mL/min is recommended, with a minimum of 500 mL/min
and a maximum of 2000 mL/min.
Figure 3-7: Gas Flow Meter location on front panel of the standard analyzer

4 Operation
See Section 1.8 for flow/pressure requirements for the sample, zero and
calibration gases. If the flow/pressure are outside the ranges specified in
Section 1.8, you must regulate the gases externally, before they enter the
analyzer.
View flow levels

The optional flow meters are visible on the front panel and are calibrated for use with air /
N2. Most other gases have molecular weights within ± 25 percent of air and will produce
valid readings. If the molecular weight of the background gas is much different from air / N2
the flowmeter reading will be less accurate. For example, Helium is a light gas therefore
the flow rate should be set to approximately one-third that of air / N2.
Switch off the analyser
A

If you intend to leave the analyzer off for an extended period of time, for example, when
carrying out plant maintenance and will not use the analyzer for several days:
• Turn off the analyzer and disconnect the electrical supply cable from the analyzer.
• Purge the transducers with Zero Air or Nitrogen gas to remove any sample gas.
• Close off the sample gas inlet and outlets using a shut off valve or the protective caps
supplied with the analyzer.

Power up

Configuring the measurement alarms
7.2.1 Display the Measurement Alarms Screen
> >
The Alarms screen shows how each of the eight alarms is currently configured. The
standard analyzer is supplied with 2 alarms for each transducer, and a further 2 or 6
alarms per transducer can be optionally purchased. Figure 7-6 shows a CO transducer
where the option for 8 total alarms has been purchased. Note that none of the alarm bells
are grayed out. Alarm #1 is set to High Alarm, Alarm #3 is set to Low Alarm, Alarm #2 is
set to the Low Flow Alarm. Alarms 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are not yet configured.
Figure 7-6: Alarms screen showing CO with 8 alarms available: #1, #2, #3 have
already been configured.
Note: During a calibration, an alarm will only be activated if the alarm 'Follow' option
is selected (see Section 7.6).
7.2.2 Configuring the Measurement Alarm settings

The Analyzer alarms can be configured to operate in one of four modes: Measurement
alarm, Flow alarm, Span / Reference alarm, and Transducer Temperature alarm. Each
transducer can be configured with multiple alarms.
To configure the alarm:

7.2.4 Hysteresis levels
> > > > >

The Hysteresis level associated with a measurement alarm determines when an
activated alarm condition is deactivated. A single value is entered into the Hysteresis level
and it will be applied to the Measurement Alarm limit depending on the alarm mode
selected as described below.
Table 7-5: Alarm modes and hysteresis effects
Alarm mode Effect of hysteresis
Low alarm Once the low alarm condition has been activated, the alarm condition
will not be deactivated until the value of a sample measurement is
above the low alarm level + hysteresis level.
High alarm Once the high alarm condition has been activated, the alarm
condition will not be deactivated until the value of a sample
measurement is below the high alarm level – hysteresis level.

Note: We designate a percent level concentration value as “%-vol” and a percentage
calculation of a range as “%”.
Note: The Measurements Alarm levels can be reported as a percentage (%) of the
measurement range or as a fixed concentration value (in ppm, mg/m3 or %-vol)
depending upon the transducer installed and the user preferential settings. The
Hysteresis levels are set as a fixed concentration value.
Examples:
a. If a 'Low' alarm has an alarm level of 15 %-vol and a hysteresis level of 1
%-vol, the alarm is activated when a sample measurement is < 15 %-vol,
and the alarm is not deactivated until a sample measurement is > 16%-vol.
b. If a 'High' alarm has an alarm level of 3 ppm and a hysteresis level of 1
ppm, the alarm is activated when a sample measurement is > 3 ppm, and
the alarm is not deactivated until a sample measurement is < 2 ppm.
To set the Hysteresis level associated with a measurement alarm use the following
sequence (specific example below is for Transducer #1 and Alarm #1):
1. Touch the number to the right of the icon as shown in Figure 7-12 A.
2. Use the number keypad shown in Figure 7-12 B to type in the threshold value.
> > > > >A
A
B
Figure 7-12: Alarm Hysteresis values set by pressing (A) and number key pad (B).
Hint: Ensure that the measurement alarm and hysteresis levels are not too close to
the expected sample measurements. Otherwise minor and potentially
acceptable variations in sample gas concentrations will result in spurious
alarms.
Hint: If you configure one measurement alarm as 'low' and the other measurement
alarm as 'high', ensure that the 'high' alarm with its hysteresis levels is higher
than the 'low' alarm with its hysteresis levels. Otherwise, the analyzer can be
permanently in an alarm condition until the hysteresis levels are adjusted.

7.2.5 Activated alarms details
When a measurement alarm condition is activated or triggered:
• The screen changes to flashing red (Figure 7-13).
• The Alarm Status icon appears at the upper right of the screen (Figure 7-13 A).
• The appropriate alarm relay will be triggered.

Configuring the User Ranges for mA Output and Screen Display
Each gas transducer has a predefined range based upon the intrinsic measurement range
that was purchased. Dual ranges can be set up on the transducer to provide more
precision using the User Low Range, User High Range and the User Expanded Range
settings. With the auto-range function, both the display and output signals will follow those
ranges. The default settings are based upon the intrinsic measurement of the purchased
transducer. The range limits will be displayed on the bar at the top of the measurement
screen for each of the transducers (see Figure 7-15 as an example).
Figure 7-15: Measurement Screen - Alarm Limits (in red) on Range Limit bar
7.3.1 The Analog Output Range Setting screen
To make any changes press the following sequence from the Home page to get to the
Analog Output Range Setting configuration panel in Figure 7-17:
> > > Tx # >
Touch to reach the screen shown in Figure 7-16. Select the measurement to be
configured by touching the appropriate “Tx #”. For example, in Figure 7-16 the
measurement “Tx #2” has been selected and is highlighted. Touch to enter the
“Analog Output Range Setting” configuration screen (see Figure 7-17). This screen allows
configuration of Auto-ranging (activated icon highlighted in the red box A) and User
expanded Range values (shown in red box B).

Note: Several of the icons on this screen look the same ( ) but have very different
functions. Please use the guidance in the document and Figure 7-17 as to which
icon represents the various functions.
Note: More than one mA output may be assigned to a measurement (Tx #) provided an
additional option board is ordered. Each mA output will require its range setting to
be configured.

Activation / output values are handled if multiple ranges
Deactivation are available (see icons position in Figure

User Expanded Allows the user to set a new maximum “over-
Range (Over- range” value that the serial output and
Range) Value analyzer display will reset to if the
measurement value goes over the User High
Range value. If this is not used the default is
the intrinsic measurement range of the
transducer (icon position at the top in Figure
7-17 B).
User High Sets the user defined range maximum
Range Value measurement value that will be scaled to the
serial output and analyzer display. If this is not
assigned, the default is the intrinsic

7.3.2 Setting a Custom Expanded (over-range) Range Value
> > > Tx #2 > >
The User Expanded Range (or over-range) setting is used to define a new over-ranging
maximum value that the serial output and analyzer display will reset to when the sample
gas measurement value exceeds the User High Range value. This range will always be
less than the intrinsic measurement range of the transducer and allows more precision
across a smaller measurement range when over-ranging takes place.
To set a new User Expanded Range for the transducer, touch the icon shown inside
the red box labelled B in Figure 7-17 and use the numeric key pad in Figure 7-18 to enter
the new maximum range value.
Once a new User Expanded Range value is set, and the sample measurement
value is above its maximum value, depending upon the analyzer settings the display and

the serial output may respond differently. See Section 7.3.6 for details and examples of
how auto-ranging affects the values sent through the serial output and the analyzer display
panel.
Note: If you do not want the analyzer to report values above the User Expanded
Range maximum value you need to turn auto-range OFF (ON by default).
7.3.3 Setting a custom User High and User Low range
> > > Tx #2 > > User High
> > > Tx #2 > > User Low

These settings are used to create a User defined measurement range for the transducer,
lower than both the intrinsic measurement range and the User Expanded range, over
which the serial output and screen displays will span and report. The default setting is the
intrinsic measurement range but by using the User High Range and User Low Range
settings the user can create a range that is lower than the intrinsic measurement range to
provide greater precision.
The serial output range (4-20 mA or 0 – 10V) is determined by the minimum and maximum
range values pre-set by the factory or they can be changed by the user with the User High
Range and User Low Range icons located inside the red box labelled B in
Figure 7-17. Use the numeric key pad shown in Figure 7-18 to enter the new range value.
If auto-ranging is active, the analyzer will automatically detect any over-range and switch
to either the intrinsic measurement range or the User Expanded range value (if assigned).
See Section 7.3.6 for details and examples of how auto-ranging affects the values sent
through the serial output and the analyzer display panel.
Note: If you do not want the analyzer to report values above the User High Range
maximum value you need to turn Auto-range OFF (ON by default).
7.3.4 Auto-range ON/ OFF
> > > Tx #2 > > ON
> > > Tx #2 > > OFF
The auto-range function is activated by pressing the auto-range icon and it is

deactivated by pressing the icon. The icons are located at on the bottom middle of
the screen shown inside the red box labelled A in Figure 7-17.
The auto-range function is used to define how the measurement output values are handled
by both the serial output (mA or volts) and the analyzer display. If there are any User
defined ranges (High, Low, Expanded), then the auto-range function will automatically
determine which range to use.

When a measurement value goes over a User defined setting (User High Range and / or
User Expanded Range), auto-ranging will switch the measurement range automatically to
the higher range and re-scales the serial output (mA or volts) and the bar graph of the
analyzer display panel.
Note: If a measurement has auto-ranged above the User High Range maximum value to
the higher User Expanded range or Intrinsic measurement range, the measurement
value must fall to 10% below the User High Range maximum value before the auto-
range switches back to the lower range. This prevents the output response from
repeatably jumping between the two ranges.
7.3.5 Range Setting Example

If you have a transducer with an intrinsic range maximum of 0-1000 ppm, but the process
values never went above 100 ppm, you may want to define a new “over-range” maximum
value of 100 ppm for better resolution of the measurement values than available using the
intrinsic measurement range of 0 – 1000 ppm.
> > > Tx #2 > >

This is accomplished by selecting the User Expanded Range icon (Figure 7-17 B)
and setting the value to 100 ppm with the keypad, limiting the maximum range to 100 ppm.
If the actual process measurements values are generally confined to values below 10
ppm, then you might want to define a working range of 0 – 10 ppm to provide even more
precision at the lower process concentration values. You can set the User High Range to
10 and the User Low Range will remain at “0”.
> > > Tx #2 > > User High Range

> > > Tx #2 > > User Low Range
7.3.6 Auto-range ON /OFF Functionality Examples

The following two examples illustrate how the serial output and display behave with Auto-
range OFF and with Auto-range ON for a transducer with an intrinsic measurement range
of 0-1000ppm, the User High Range set at 10ppm and the User Expanded Range set at
100ppm.
Example 1 Auto-Range OFF
Initial Settings:
• User High Range set to 10 ppm, User Low Range set to 0 ppm, User Expanded
Range set to 100 ppm.
• The serial output values will be scaled to the User High Range of 10 ppm.
• The display bar and output values will be scaled to the User High Range of 10
ppm.

Measured Value User Low User High Expanded
≤ 10 ppm (0 ppm) (10 ppm) (100 ppm)
Serial Output X X
Display Output X X
Any time the gas measurement value is at or above the User High Range of 10 ppm:
• The serial output value will remain fixed at 10 ppm.
• The analyzer display will continue to show the measurement values up to the User
Expanded Range maximum of 100 ppm.

≥ 10 ppm (0 ppm) (10 ppm) (100 ppm)
Serial Output X
Display Output X X
Any time the gas measurement value is at or above 100 ppm:

• The analyzer display value will remain fixed at 100 ppm.
≥ 100 ppm (0 ppm) (10 ppm) (100 ppm)
Serial Output X
Display Output X
Note: If the user does not set an Expanded Range and sets a User High Range of
10 ppm, then for a gas measurement value above 10 ppm the Serial output will
remain at 10 ppm and the analyzer display will continue to show the measurement
values up to the maximum of the intrinsic range of the transducer ie 1000 ppm.
Example 2 Auto-Range ON
Initial Settings:
• User High Range set to 10 ppm, User Low Range to 0 ppm, User Expanded Range
set to 100 ppm.
• The serial output values will be scaled to the User High Range of 10 ppm.
• The display bar and output values will be scaled to the User High Range of 10
ppm.
≤ 10 ppm (0 ppm) (10 ppm) (100 ppm)
Serial Output X X

Display Output X X
Any time the gas measurement value is at or above the User High Range of 10 ppm:
• The serial output value will automatically rescale to the User Expanded Range
maximum of 100 ppm.

Configuring the Measurement data filter and gas reporting units
7.7.1 Setting the Measurement data filter

The transducer determines which filter types are available. Trial and error testing will be
needed to determine which filter type is best for the application as well as how many points
are needed in the filter, as there are trade-offs with response time and signal improvement.
The default mode applies no filtering.
There are two kinds of filters available: Moving Average or Finite Impulse Response (FIR)
and Exponential or Infinite Impulse Response (IIR). The filters shown on the left column of
Figure 7-23 are Moving Average, those in the right column are Exponential.
For each of these filter types, the smoothing icon shown top to bottom represents the
smoothing function that is faster but less smooth to slower but smoother at the bottom.
> > > >
Figure 7-23: Data Filter screen showing two filter types with short, medium, long
time averages (no filter is selected at this time).

With a Moving Average filter, the actual output is the average of the latest value and a
fixed number of previous input values, with the previous inputs weighted less so they
contribute less to the output.
With an Exponential filter the output is an average of the latest value and one or more
previous output values, with previous output values being weighed less. It is called
“infinite” because every new value always makes some contribution to the new output and
diminishing contributions to all subsequent output values.
In either case, the more points used in the average or the higher the weighting is from the
older values, the smoother the response will be, but the consequence is that the response
to changes in the incoming values will be slower.
Derived NOx value
7.8.1 When the Derived NOx value is applicable

In simple combustion processes NO generally makes up greater than 95% of the total of
nitrogen oxides (NOx). For EN regulations you need to report the Total NOx data out as a
function of NO2 mass but if your nitrogen dioxide content is 5% or lower of the total NOx
you are allowed to use a derived NOx value from the measured NO content.
For solid fuel fired utilities and industrial boilers, NO2 is ~5% of the total NOx when no Flue
Gas Desulfurization (FGD) is used and ~2.5% of total NOx when FGD is applied to the flue
gas before entering the stack. Any plant where the NO2 concentration is greater than 5 %
the NOx value (e.g. large combustion plants or incineration plants), then NO2 content must
be measured directly using a NO2 converter and applying the appropriate equations. The
Derived NOx mode cannot be used for Gas Turbines as NO2 is >20% of the total NOx so
it must be measured.
7.8.2 Setting up the Derived NOx value
> > > >
To activate the Derived NOx measurement, touch the NO measurement on main screen
(see Figure 7-24) then touch the sequence of icons shown above to reach page 3 of the
Measurement branch (see Figure 7-24). Touch the NOx Derived icon to access the
screen shown in Figure 7-26.
- Touch to activate the NOx Derived Mode
- Touch to de-activate the NOx Derived Mode

After activation select the required value for NO2 (2.5% or 5%). The value depends on the
application (see Section 7.8.1).
The NOx derived value will now be displayed as “D#, NOx as NO2” (where # is the NO
transducer position) on the main screen below the NO measurement (see Figure 7-27).
Figure 7-24: NO measurement displayed on Main Screen
Figure 7-25: NOx Derived icon on page 3

Figure 7-26: NOx Derived settings screen
Figure 7-27: NOx Derived measurement on main screen
7.8.3 How the Derived NOx value is implemented in the 4900 Multigas analyzer
An analyzer fitted with the NO transducer (GFX 1210) will automatically have this derived
value available as a choice. When activated the units displayed will be determined by the
analyzer global setting for concentration unit (ppm or mg/Nm3). If the global setting is
changed from one to the other then the NOx Derived value will also change. In general if
you are using this term the output concentration units should be set to Mass (mg/Nm3).
The analyzer first takes the measured NO concentration value and multiplies it by the User
Selected value of either 2.5% or 5.0% (indicative of the maximum amount of NO2 in the
flue gas). Table 7.10 shows the factors applied by the analyzer to calculate the derived
NOx.
Note: In all cases the NOx is calculated after NO value is reported

7.8.4 Examples of Derived NOx as NO2
Example 1
If the Global Setting is in PPM-V (not mass based but volume based) then the Derived NOx
will be in PPM. If NO concentration is measured at 10 ppm then NOx will be calculated as
follows:
User Selected 2.5%: Derive the NOx using 2.5% NO2 on top of the NO 1.0256
(100/97.5) then multiply this by the 10 ppm-v NO value measured by the NO
transducer.
User Selected 5.0%: Derive the NOx using 5.0% NO2 on top of the NO 1.053 (100/95)
then multiply this by the 10 ppm-v NO value measured by the NO transducer.
Example 2
If the Global Setting is in mg/m3 then the Derived NOx will be in mg/m3 (note mg/m3 is
based upon mg/Nm3) and a further conversion is needed to convert the NO mass into a
reported mass of NOx as NO2. So if NO is at 10 mg/m3 then NOx will be:
User Selected 2.5%: Derive the NOx using 2.5% NO2 on top of the 1.0256 NO
(100/97.5) then multiply this by the mass ratio of NO2 to NO 1.5298 (2.05 NO2 mg/m3
÷ 1.34 NO mg/m3) then multiply this by 10 mg/m3 NO value measured by the NO
transducer.
User Selected 5.0%: Derive the NOx using 5.0% NO2 on top of the NO 1.053 (100/95)
then multiply this by the mass ratio of NO2 to NO 1.5298 (2.05 NO2 mg/m3 ÷ 1.34 NO
mg/m3) then multiply this by 10 mg/m3 NO value measured by the NO transducer.

Figure 10-25: Digital Inputs screen for Digital Input #2 showing the assignments for
(A) Calibration control operational icons and (B) Analog input that can be controlled.
A Digital Input operation is essentially a binary ON / OFF state that detects the contact
closure between the labeled pins on the back-panel connectors. The Digital Input can only
be assigned one action.
To configure a Digital Input operation the user must select both the operation and the
target device.
Each Digital Input can be assigned as OFF or one of six possible operations. The available
operations are shown in the box labelled A in Figure 10-25. From top to bottom, left to right
for the transducer:
1. Start Auto-Cal for the designated transducer

Note: It is important know that if more than one Auto-Cal sequence is assigned to a
transducer, the Digital trigger will only launch the first sequence.
2. Stop and disable Auto-Cal
3. Initiate zero gas calibration
4. Initiate span gas calibration
5. Declare the designated Analog Input is working OK (not faulted)
6. Declare that the designated Analog Input is in Calibration

When a Digital Input is assigned one of the left column Transducers it will initiate the
selected operation on that chosen Transducer.

When a Digital Input is assigned one of the right column functions (mA Inputs ) it will
act as a declaration of the status of the external device but otherwise has no control over
the analyzer.
For example, to assign a Digital Input to Start the Span gas calibration for Transducer #2
(Nitric Oxide or NO) press the Span Cal icon within the box labelled A in Figure
10-25 then the #2 on the left side of the Panel next to NO.
As another example, if the user were to select Ext Cal and within the box labelled A
in Figure 10-25 then mA Input #3 within the box labelled B in Figure 10-25 then it
would mean a declaration that the device attached to Analog In #3 is currently in
calibration.
Note: It is important to verify that both device and operation are highlighted before leaving
this page because some selections may cause the other buttons to be reset.

Analog Output Assignment
By default, transducers are assigned to the analog output with the same number as the
measurement, one transducer per analog output. This section describes how you can
assign more than one analog output to a transducer. This can be used if you need to have
a separated Low Range and High Range for the same transducer. This feature is
available for firmware release 3.1.0 and later.
10.12.1 Assigning an Analog Output to a transducer
Figure 10-34: Home Page showing available measurements
The Home Page in Figure 10-34 shows each transducer is assigned to a single analog
output. For our example, we touch measurement #3 to display the measurement menu.
Touch the Analog Output Settings icon as shown in Figure 10-35 to reach the
Analog Output assignments page.
Figure 10-35: Measurement page – Analog Output Settings icon
See Figure 10-36. The Analog Output Assignments page shows the chosen measurement
#3/output #3 is highlighted. Outputs #1 and #2 are shown in gray which means they are
already assigned. The icon for output #4 is displayed in blue but is not highlighted, which
means it is unassigned and available to be assigned.

Touching the icon for output #4 while transducer #3 is highlighted will assign output #4 to
transducer #3. The icon for output #4 will now be highlighted (see Figure 10-37).
Transducer #3 now has two analog outputs assigned to it.

The block averaging filter icon is reached through the Settings branch (see Figure
10-40). Touch the to select the sampling interval (see Figure 10-41). The filter is
inactive when is selected.
When the block averaging filter is active the analyzer gathers up all data during a
designated length time interval for each sensor. Available intervals are 1 sec, 2 secs, 5
secs, 10 secs, 20 secs, 30 secs, 60 secs, 90 secs, and 120 secs. When the time interval is
up it reports a single average for that time and begins gathering the next interval’s
data. For example, if the interval is set for 5 sec, new measurements are reported only
every 5 seconds and the value is the average from the preceding 5 seconds up to that
report.
The block averaging is a global setting that applies to all the transducers. The block
averaging takes place after any sensor-specific filtering has been applied.

11 Manual Calibration and Auto-Cal Sequences
Definition of Terms Used

Calibration means that the transducer calibration curve will be changed. Validation means
that the analyzer will measure the gas concentration and then check the value against a
user input certified value. The user input certified value for the High Span calibration point
value will be from the tag value (certified concentration value) of a gas bottle while the Low
Span point is generally set to “0”. Each transducer calibration (or validation) process must
be set up individually and then can be accessed manually or automatically.
If the Auto-Cal feature is purchased, more than one transducer can be calibrated
automatically at the same time using a mixed gas blend containing all required gases at
the Span concentration values. The timing sequence for all of the transducers in this case
will need to be set to the same time and date and the Zero, Span and Sample Measure
times must be the same as well.
This section steps through the process of setting up a manual calibration and the Auto-Cal
sequences.
Introduction to Calibration
The calibration of the transducers in the analyzer may be checked or adjusted either
manually or automatically (requires the Auto-Cal option) and the activity will be logged as
an entry in the calibration history log. The Auto-Cal feature allows the user to set up to
three automatic timing sequences on each of the transducers. These sequences can be
any combination of calibration or validation processes (described in Section 11.6).
External valves or a single multiport switching valve will need to be installed by the
customer to enable the use of the various Span and Zero gases as well as the Sample gas
stream. These valves can then be assigned to the relays associated with each transducer
for controlling Zero, Span and Sample gas. For the Auto-Cal option three relays per
transducer will be pre-assigned as Zero, Span and Sample mode automatically.
If the analyzer is still warming up a ( ) symbol will appear in the corner for each of the
gas icons. If a calibration is attempted, a warning message will appear with an option to
proceed. As each gas transducer warms up this symbol will disappear and at this time a
calibration or validation can be performed on that transducer.
Note: For optimal performance, allow the analyzer to run and stabilize for at least 24
hours from a cold start at 20oC (68 oF). For the higher sensitivity measurements, this
time may be longer.
The operator is guided through the setup sequence choices by a series of menus, icons,
and editable text. Each gas sensor / transducer parameter including output concentration
units, triggers and ranges, must be setup individually.

If the Auto-Cal feature is purchased, then the relevant menus and icons will be activated
on the touchscreen. The Auto-Cal can be setup so that the transducers are calibrated or
validated serially (one after another) or timed so that they run simultaneously.
The Auto-Cal process can be initiated by setting up an internal timer, using an external
contact closure or manually through the user interface or triggered via a digital input signal.
In all cases if any of these events occur when the Auto-Cal cycle is in process it will ignore
the request.
The instrument will only respond to a request for an Auto-Cal from the internal timer or
external input if there are no faults indicated. However, the operator can use the analyzer
interface to initiate the Auto-Cal sequence even if there is still a fault displayed.
Note: If the Auto-Cal option has been purchased, the pre-assigned relays will be activated
when performing a manual span calibration and zero calibration, and at their
completion, the sample gas relay will be activated.
Calibration Gas Standard Requirements

Zero and Span gas standards are required to perform the calibration of each of the
transducers fitted into the analyzer. Tolerances and Span bottle certified concentration
values must be inputted for each transducer individually and updated when a cylinder
bottle is replaced.
The quality of the gas standards used will greatly impact the results of the measurement.
Servomex recommends the use of certified gravimetric gas blends and mixtures for the
calibration of the 4900 Multigas analyzer. For highest accuracy use gases from a supplier
that participates in a rigorous regulatory oversight program such as the US EPA Protocol
Gas Verification Program or equivalent programs provided by the European and Asian
National Metrology Institutes. While calibration standards of ±2% accuracy are acceptable,
standards of ±1% accuracy afford the highest accuracy.
Gas standards can be either simple binary mixtures of a span gas and a standard carrier
gas such as N2 or Air, or more complicated mixtures provided the mixture is stable and will
not change over time. If unsure, follow the regulatory guidelines for the region or country.
See Appendix G for a listing of all of the transducers and their full-scale range values, and
Appendix G, Appendix H and Appendix I for details including suggested SPAN values for
the purchased transducer concentration range for the Single Beam Single Wavelength
(SBSW) non-dispersive infrared (NDIR), Paramagnetic oxygen and the NDIR Gas Filter
Correlation (GFX) transducers respectively.

Recommended calibration periods
It is recommended that the calibration of the gas sensors be checked on a regular basis
and recalibrated, if required, for best performance. The table below shows the
recommended periods based upon transducer type. Use Appendix G (SBSW CO% and
CO2%), Appendix H (O2%), and Appendix I (GFX) to determine which transducer type is in
the analyser.
Note: More frequent calibration or validation periods may be required by the regional
regulatory body if the analyzers are used in regulatory monitoring such as
continuous emissions monitoring (CEM) systems.

Hint: The required calibration interval depends on the reliance that you place upon
the accuracy and consistency of the measurements made by the analyzer.
Adjust the calibration interval according to your requirements and the drift
characteristics of your analyzer.

Calibration or Validation must then be added for each gas transducer based upon the
certified value of that gas constituent in the blended cylinder.
External valves or a single multiport switching valve will need to be installed and
connected to the transducer relays by the customer to enable the “Service in Progress”
signal and the Auto-Cal routine to trigger the Zero, Span and Sample modes on each
transducer.
If more than one transducer is present in the analyzer then all of the transducers will turn
Yellow indicating they are no longer producing “good” sample gas readings and are in the
“Service in Progress” mode (see Figure 11-6). Transducers that are in the Auto-Cal or
Auto-Val sequence will show up as black text on the screen while those that are not in
progress are in grey text. In Figure 11-6 the NO and SO2 gas transducer sequence timings
were configured to be the same and they are undergoing Auto-Cal simultaneously as
indicated by the BLACK text.

Figure 11-6: Calibration or Validation “Service In Progress” screen
When Auto-Cal is purchased a manual validation check or calibration adjustment can still
be made, using the same transducer relays and valves established in the Auto-Cal
configuration.
The auto-validation and auto-calibration processes can be initiated by four methods:
1. by an internal timer;
2. by an external contact closure;
3. by operator manual request using the analyzer front panel user interface;
4. by an external Modbus or PROFIBUS command
The instrument will only respond to a request for Auto-Cal from the internal timer or
external input if there are no faults indicated. Auto-Cal can be initiated from the user
interface when there is a fault condition.
If any one of these events occurs while the Auto-Cal cycle is in progress the request will
be ignored. Touching the keypad during Auto-Cal will initiate the abort sequence.
The Auto-Cal feature offers custom configurations for automatic Validation and Calibration
operations. The general sequence uses three gas streams (Zero, Span and Sample) and
the Zero gas or the Span gas can be skipped by setting the timing (t1, t2..) to zero,
skipping that step.
Up to three sequences can be assigned to each transducer (see Figure 11-7). They can
be of any form of auto-calibration or auto-validation as needed.
For example, if you need to perform a daily Zero and Span check / validation then you
could assign this to sequence #1 using the auto-validation function. In sequence #2 you
might assign a weekly auto-calibration sequence.

Note: The internal analyzer timer will trigger all the Auto-Cal sequences without any
external input required. However, if an external input is used to trigger the Auto-Cal
then only the first sequence will commence.

11.7.2 Auto- validation full sequence example

The full sequence for auto-validation is shown in Figure 11-9 providing a simple Pass or
Fail result. Even if the sequence fails, the gas sample measurements can continue to
report values. Figure 11-9 and Table 11-3 describe how the auto-validation sequence
works. Each transducer must be set up separately to perform an auto-validation.
If you want two or more of the transducers to run auto-validation simultaneously then the
sequence timing as well as the Date and Time settings need to be the same.

Note: If the Zero or Span Validation step fails the Transducer gas icon will remain
RED until the user corrects the problem, gas measurement reporting will
continue however.

11.8.2 Auto-Calibration full sequence example

The full sequence for Auto-Calibration is shown in Figure 11-13 providing a new calibration
curve for the transducer if the validation step passed otherwise the calibration step will not
be performed. Even if the sequence fails, the gas sample measurements can continue to
report values, but a manual calibration must be done if the validation sequence fails. The
user should check to ensure the gas sampling system is working properly and the
calibration gas standards are accurate before attempting another calibration after a failure.
The full sequence Auto-Calibration process reads the Zero gas “As Found” value then
switches to the Span gas to read the “As Found” value, both performed before any

calibration curve changes. The second Zero gas “As Found” process is used to set the
Zero calibration point.
Figure 11-13 and Table 11-7 describe how the full Auto-Calibration sequences works and
Section show how to set timing, concentration and threshold limit values. Each transducer
must be set up separately in order to perform an Auto-Calibration.
Note: If the Zero or Span Validation step fails the Transducer gas icon will remain
RED until the user corrects the problem, gas measurement reporting will
continue however.

11.8.3 Auto-calibration truncated sequence example

Figure 11-14 and Table 11-8 describe how the auto-calibration sequences can be
configured to skip the first Zero “As Found” validation section and only use the second
Zero “As Found” validation test followed by a calibration. In Figure 11-14 the Span “As
Found” value is obtained prior to performing any calibration curve changes, while the Zero
“As Found” value is obtained after the Span High Calibration point has been changed.

Hint: The key difference between the sequences shown in Figure 11-13 and Figure
11-14 is that there is no initial Zero “As Found” value recorded in the sequence
shown in Figure 11-14. The sequence in Figure 11-13 will support regulatory
compliance where both the Zero gas and the Span gas “As Found” readings
need to be recorded prior to any calibration curve changes from the High Span
or the Low / Zero Span calibrations.

11.10.2 Auto-Cal sequence timing setup for multiple transducers

If you want to run multiple transducers using the same calibration and zero gases, each
transducer in the group must use the same settings for the following items:
• For auto-validation t1, t2, t3 must be the same for all transducers that are to be run at
the same time (see Figure 11-11: G, H, I).
• For auto-calibration t1, t2, t3, t4 must be the same for all transducers that are to be run
at the same time (see Figure 11-17: G, H, I, J).
• For auto-validation or auto-calibration all transducer settings for Date (see Figure
11-18), Time (see Figure 11-19), and Repeat Timing (see Figure 11-20) must be the
same.
Note: The t1, t2, t3, t4 timing should be based upon the gas component that takes the
longest time to come to a steady reading.
Auto-calibration valve installation

The auto-calibration and auto-validation function uses relays to control user provided
external valves or single multiport valve, or to send a signal out indicating which gas
stream is being used at the time of the trigger. If the auto-calibration option is ordered the
analyzer will be equipped with eight relays for each transducer in the analyzer. Relays 6, 7
and 8 for each transducer will be permanently assigned to Zero, Span and Sample
respectively. See Section 10.2 for more details.
Note: It is up to the customer to supply and connect externally powered valves to supply
the correct zero and span gas for each transducer. The analyzer switches

automatically according to the auto-calibration or auto-validation sequence timing
and set up.
External inputs for Auto-Cal

To activate the Auto-Cal feature (if purchased), connect the Digital Input (DIN) pins DIN 2B
and DIN 2C (see Figure 11-21 or Figure 1-2) on Jumper 17 (J17).
Figure 11-21. Jumper 17 used for Auto-Cal configurations.
The voltage input is activated by applying (+) 5 – 24 VDC to DIN 1A and (–) 5 – 24 VDC to
DIN 1B. The contact closure input is activated by a contact closure created between DIN
1B and DIN 1C.
Details on setting up the various input signals are found in Section 10.7.

13 Routine maintenance
The 4900 Multigas analyzer does not contain any user serviceable parts.
Do not attempt to maintain or service the 4900 Multigas analyzer unless

you are trained and know what you are doing. The analyzer must be
maintained by a suitably skilled and competent person.
Do not open or attempt to remove the analyzer cover yourself. If you do,
you will invalidate any warranty on the analyzer, and the analyzer may
not operate safely or provide accurate measurements.
Sample and calibration gases may be toxic or asphyxiant.

Never inspect the inlet filter(s), or service or repair the analyzer while
such gases are still connected to it.
If the analyzer is to be serviced or repaired, it is important that all
pipework is flushed with an inert gas and the analyzer is allowed to freely
vent to local atmosphere.
Cleaning the analyzer

When necessary, use a damp (but not wet) cloth to wipe clean the outer surfaces of the
analyzer (to prevent the entry of dust or other particulates into the interior of the analyzer).
Routine checks
You only need to carry out simple maintenance procedures annually. Carry out the
following regular checks to ensure continuous and safe operation of the monitor.
13.2.1 Inspect / replace the fuse

Ensure that the electrical supply is isolated / locked-out from the
analyzer. If you do not, there will be a danger of injury or death from
electric shock.
Fire Hazard: Only use the same type and rated fuse as recommended.
If you think that an electrical supply fuse has failed, use the following procedure to inspect
the fuses and replace them if necessary:
1. Open the fuse panel on the rear of the analyzer (Figure 13-1). To do this, carefully
insert a small screwdriver into the gap on the right of the panel and press the clip to
open the panel.

Figure 13-1: Open the fuse panel
Figure 13-2: Fuse panel opened
2. Pull the red fuse holder out of the panel (Figure 13-2).
Both live and neutral lines have fuse protection. The neutral fuse is shown (1 in Figure
13-3); the live fuse is located in the underside of the red fuse holder (2 in Figure 13-3).

Figure 13-3: Pull out the red fuse holder
3. Remove the top (neutral) fuse from the holder and check the continuity across the
fuse.
If there is continuity, the fuse has not failed, so refit it into the fuse holder.
If there is no continuity, fit a new fuse into the fuse holder.
Make sure the fuses are the correct type and rating. The fuse type and
rating is shown on the rear panel to the left of the mains connector.
Make sure you fit the fuse in the correct position in the fuse holder as
shown in (Figure 13-3).
4. Repeat step 3 for the bottom (live) fuse which is located on the underside of the red
fuse holder.
5. Push the fuse holder back into the fuse panel and close the panel door. It will click into
place.
Preventative maintenance
To minimize unscheduled analyzer downtime, ensure the proper operation of the analyzer
and to comply with the guidelines of applicable regulatory bodies, we recommend that you
utilize an annual preventative maintenance program for your analyzer.
The preventative maintenance program consists of an annual inspection of the analyzer,
and repair of any faults, to ensure that the analyzer meets its original factory specification.
Contact Servomex or your local Servomex agent to arrange for a preventative
maintenance contract.

Appendix B Optional RS485 / RS232
B.1 Serial Communication introduction

The 4900 Multigas offers the option for RS232 or RS485 serial communications. If RS232
is purchased, the connection is via the 9-pin D-type RS-232 serial connector on the back
plane (Figure B-1). If RS485 is purchased, the connection is via the RS-485 connector on
the back plane (Figure B-1).
Make sure that the electrical installation of any equipment connected to
the analyzer conforms with all applicable local and national electrical
safety requirements.
The RS232 output is separated from the analyzer mains circuits by

reinforced insulation. The terminals must only be connected to circuits
that are themselves separated from mains voltages by at least reinforced
insulation.
To comply with EMC requirements, you must use a shielded cable to

connect to the RS232 output. The shield must also be connected to the
analyzer enclosure at Earth / ground.

B.4 Streaming RS232 output
In continuous mode, a data frame is transmitted by the serial output port at a user-defined
interval. The format of the data frame is given in the following tables; however, it is a list of
process variables (fields) preceded by a start character, separated by semi-colons and
terminated by carriage return and line feed, i.e. A;B;C;D;E;F;…..;N;<CR><LF>
The frame frequency and generic communications parameters are configured in the
analyser software. The frame frequency sets up the frequency of transmission of the data
frame down the serial communications port. For example, if the value is set to 15 seconds,
then the output data frame will be transmitted once every 15 seconds. The frequency is set
in steps of one second from 1 to 9999 seconds. If the value is set to zero, the transmission
of data down the serial port stops and will not restart until a non-zero value is entered.

Appendix C Implementation guide for Modbus
communications
C.1 Introduction
This appendix details the implementation and use of the Modbus protocol in the 4900
Multigas analyzer.
C.2 References
Document "MODBUS over Serial Line Specification & Implementation guide V1.0 Nov 02”
located on Modbus web site modbus.org.
C.3 Modbus setup

The Modbus setup form will allow the user to configure the following parameters:
Default values are in Bold.
Parameter Options Comments
Address 1 to 247 Slave address of unit.
Mode ASCII or RTU Select serial transmission mode.
Baud rate 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400
Parity Odd, Even, None
C.4 Supported function codes

For simplicity, only the following function codes will be supported:
Function Description Usage
01 Read coils Read calibration status, pump

state, etc.
02 Read discrete inputs Read faults and alarm states.
03 Read holding registers Read settings.
04 Read input registers Read measurements, units, etc.

Function Description Usage
05 Write single coil Change modes, perform

calibration etc.
06 Write single register Change single setting.
16 Write multiple registers Change multiple settings.
C.5 Exception codes

If an error occurs while processing a message one of the following exception codes will be
returned by the instrument:
Code Condition Meaning
01 Illegal function Requested function code is not supported.
02 Illegal data address The combination of data address and transfer

length is invalid for this function.
03 Illegal data value A value contained in the query data field is not an
allowable value. This indicates a fault in the
structure of the remainder of a complex request.
This does NOT mean that a value to be stored in a
register is incorrect as Modbus has no means of
determining what is legal for any particular
register.
04 Slave device failure An unrecoverable error occurred while the unit

was attempting to perform the requested action.
C.6 Addressing
Addresses in Modbus ADU (application data unit), run from 1 – N, whereas addresses in
the Modbus PDU (protocol data unit) run from 0 – N. This appendix gives addresses in the
ADU model. Depending on the particular Modbus master, addresses may have to be
entered as they are given or have 1 subtracted from them. For example, to read register
101 an address of 100 may be needed.
C.7 Floating point numbers

Floating point numbers (e.g. 12.34, –1012.32, etc.), are digitally represented using the
IEEE–754 format. Single precision floating point numbers are used throughout and they

require 32 bits of data. Since a Modbus register holds 16 bits it takes 2 registers to
represent a floating-point number. We default to having the most significant word of the
float, bits 16 – 31, in the first register, and the least significant word, bits 0 – 15, in the next
register.

Appendix D PROFIBUS
This appendix contains installation and operation instructions and data tables available
with the PROFIBUS option.
D.1 Safety
Read the rest of this manual carefully before you use this appendix.
D.2 Description
The PROFIBUS option adds DPv0 synchronous and DPv1 asynchronous communication
capabilities to the 4900 Multigas Analyzer. The PROFIBUS option board provides the
following features:
• Supports DPv0/DPv1 PROFIBUS communication with RS485 transmission
• DPv1 communications with class I and class II Master devices
• Separate DPv0 modules to optimize bus load
• Profibus Address can be set from the User Interface
D.3 Electrical installation

Follow the PROFIBUS Installation Guidelines when connecting the
PROFIBUS.
Figure 17-1: PROFIBUS connection on rear of the analyzer
There are no internal termination resistors; if the device is at the end of

the segment, termination resistors should be on the connector or the
segment should have an active termination unit.

1. Use recommended PROFIBUS cable, optimized for RS485 transmission.
2. Standard PROFIBUS 9-pin sub-D connector is used for PROFIBUS, the connector is
labelled as “PROFIBUS” on the back of the analyzer.

3. To ensure correct operation follow the PROFIBUS Installation Guidelines. For

information on the PROFIBUS installation guidelines, refer to www.profibus.com.
D.4 PROFIBUS settings
D.4.1 Confirming PROFIBUS availability

If the analyzer was ordered with the PROFIBUS option, the PROFIBUS connector will be
populated and its presence confirms the unit is configured for serial comms via
PROFIBUS.
D.4.2 Setting the PROFIBUS address

The default PROFIBUS address for the analyser is set to 126.
Press the following icon sequence to change the PROFIBUS address of the analyser.
> > >
After changing the address, turn the unit off and on again for it to respond to the new
address.

D.4.3 Monitoring Profibus line Status
The user interface provides information on the PROFIBUS line status. There are three
reports available:
Wait for parameterization: There are no communications between the analyser and the
PROFIBUS master device.
Wait for configuration: Initial parameterization message received, waiting for

configuration data from the PROFIBUS master.
Data exchange: The analyser and the PROFIBUS master device are
communicating, using DPv0 cyclic messages.
D.5 PROFIBUS DPV0 features
D.5.1 DPv0 modules

The synchronous messaging structure of the DPv0 network requires all variables to be
repeated in every message. This means the PLC has to be programmed to parse
incoming and outgoing messages to extract required data. These protocol limitations mean
that only frequently required parameters, which are important to be remotely accessible,
are made available for DPv0 access.
The 4900 Multigas is capable to operate with different module configurations enabling the
user to optimize network traffic. For example, if detailed status information is not required,
the user can choose to omit the Measurement Status modules in the configuration.
The analyzer can support up to 8 modules, and the user can choose to include these
modules in any order. The PROFIBUS master can configure the 4900 Multigas to include
the following modules:
Module name Type Size
Measurement 1 Input and Output 6 Input, 6 Output Bytes

Measurement 1 Status Input 6 Input Bytes

D.5.2 PROFIBUS master device configuration

Refer to your PROFIBUS master device’s operator manual to configure DPv0
communications with the 4900 Multigas.
8000F77.gsd can be used as the GSD file to configure the master device. This is available
on request from your Servomex representative.
Data format
Endianness: All data transfers are word aligned, and the analyzer uses
Big-Endian order, as specified in PROFIBUS standards. In
Big-Endian order, the Most Significant Byte (HI) comes
before the Least Significant Byte (LOW). Bit order follows
the same rule and bit 0, is the least significant bit.
Floating Point Numbers: All floating point numbers (e.g. 12.34, -1012.32, etc.), are
digitally represented using the IEEE-754 format. Single
precision floating point numbers are used throughout and
since they require 32 bits of data, they occupy 2 words. The
most significant word is transferred first.
Low/Hi Byte: The LOW byte of a word is the least significant byte. The
Most significant Byte is called the HIGH Byte.

Measurement module data map
Measurement modules contain measurement data related to the measurement modules.
All four module mappings are the same.

D.6 PROFIBUS Troubleshooting
D.6.1 The analyzer is not detected by the PROFIBUS master device

• Check that the PROFIBUS cable is connected to the analyser, and the master device.
• Check that the termination resistors on the end points of the network are active.
• Check that the analyser node address is set up correctly on the master device.
• Check that there are no other devices configured to use the same address as the
analyser.
Make sure that if there is more than one master device on the system, the correct master
device is configured and connected to the analyser.
On the PROFIBUS master device, make sure that the correct “gsd” file has been used to
configure the analyser, and at least one module is included in the configuration. Refer to
your master device's manual to make sure all steps for the configuration have been
followed.
Some PROFIBUS master devices are configured to stop reporting cyclic data as soon as
an extended diagnostic error message is received. In this case either these faults have to
be cleared on the analyser, or the master device has to be configured to continue normal
operation when diagnostic bits are reported.
Make sure that the PROFIBUS baud rate selected at the Profibus master device, is
suitable for the cabling setup.
Make sure that the PROFIBUS master is running.
Using the Status menu on the analyser, make sure that there is no "PROFIBUS card not
detected" fault. This fault will require servicing of the analyser - Contact Servomex or your
local Servomex representative.
D.6.2 The communication starts, but there are frequent line drops
Make sure that the ‘PROFIBUS Cabling Guidelines’ have been followed. Refer to
www.profibus.com for the latest guidelines.
If possible decrease the network baud rate.

H.1 Overview of measurement errors for paramagnetic O2 transducer

For an O2 transducer, the composition of any typical background gas in the gas sample will
have an impact on the analyzer measurement accuracy.
Table H-4 below gives 4 examples of cross-interference errors (O2 measurement errors) in
gases which contain 100% of a specific background gas, for an analyzer which has been
'Lo' calibrated with N2 (nitrogen) and 'Hi' calibrated with O2.
Table H-4: Example cross-interference measurement errors
Background gas Error
Argon -0.22%
Carbon dioxide -0.26%
Halothane -1.93%
Helium -0.29%
Note that the error is directly proportional to the concentration of the background gas in the
sample being measured and, in most cases, can be ignored. A detailed listing of these
measurement errors for a wide variety of background gases are listed in Section 17.1H.2
below.
XINT is a reported concentration adjustment that can be set in the Paramagnetic
Measurement menus. It is a scaling factor that is used to correct the current transducer
reading. The default value is 1.0. If required the operator can change this value to
compensate for the background gas. For example: If you are measuring oxygen in a
background of carbon dioxide -0.26 should be entered as the XINT value.
Figure H-1: XINT icon
If XINIT compensation is to be used, care must be taken to insure that the value used for
the background gases is correct. During a calibration, no XINT compensation is applied
and it is assumed that the calibration gas sample has negligible cross-interference.

Appendix I 1210 Gas Filter Correlation (GFX) transducer
information
I.1 GFX transducer low and high calibration

The low calibration gas for GFX gas transducer modules may be specified between -5
ppm and +5 ppm of the measured component. Zero grade nitrogen is recommended.
The high calibration gas can be in the range 6 to 110% of the transducer's Full Scale
Deflection (FSD). As GFX transducers are configured as 'dual range' units, it is
recommended that the high calibration gas is selected at the top end of the range used.
