1.3 Description
The Multi Purpose is a lightweight gas analyser, suitable for the needs of field and
laboratory analysis, and light industrial users who require fast, accurate and reliable
gas analysis.
The Multi Purpose uses paramagnetic transducers to determine the oxygen content of
gas samples in concentrations up to 100%, and uses infrared transducers to
determine the carbon dioxide (CO
2
) or carbon monoxide (CO) content of gas samples
in concentrations of up to 100% CO
2
or 5% CO.

2.2 Sample gas
WARNING
If you sample carbon monoxide, the quantity of gas sampled by the
Multi Purpose may be above the short term exposure limit for carbon
monoxide, and so the sample should be considered to be toxic. Similarly,
other sample and calibration gases which you use may also be
considered as toxic. You must therefore carry out your own risk
assessment before you use the Multi Purpose with such gases. The
maximum inlet pressure of such toxic gases is
34.5 kPa gauge (5 psig, 0.35 bar gauge).

4.5 Scroll bars
On some screens (for example, see Figure 5), there may be more options available
than can be shown on the screen, and you have to scroll down the screen to view all
of the options: this is identified by a scroll bar at the right-hand side of the screen.
The height of the wide part of the scroll bar gives an indication of what proportion (of
all the options) are currently shown on the screen. As you scroll up or down the options
(using the and soft keys), the wide part of the scroll bar will also move on
the screen, indicating approximately where the currently displayed options are, within
the complete list of options. For example, compare the scroll bars in Figures 5 and 13.
4.6 Menu options/screens and password protection
The menu structure of the Multi Purpose is shown in Figure 4, which shows that some
of the options/screens are password protected.
When an option/screen is password protected, this means that the correct
corresponding password has to be entered before the option/screen can be accessed.
Password protection operates as follows:
The first time you try to access a password-protected option/screen, you will be
prompted for the corresponding password. You must then enter the correct
password (using the editing method described in Section 4.10) before the option/
screen can be displayed.
If you have already entered the corresponding password, you will gain access to all
options/screens protected by that password immediately (you do not need to enter
the password again).

Once you have entered a password, it remains active until 10 minutes after
the last soft key is pressed. After this, the password becomes inactive; you
must re-enter the password to access password-protected options/screens
again.

5.2 Charging/recharging the battery (Multi Purpose with optional rechargeable
battery)
5.2.1 Charging
The first time you use a Multi Purpose with the optional rechargeable battery, you
should leave the Multi Purpose connected to the electrical supply for at least 4 hours,
to fully charge the battery.
When the battery is fully charged, you can leave the Multi Purpose connected to the
electrical supply, or you can disconnect the electrical supply and continue to use the
Multi Purpose powered by the battery.
5.2.2 Recharging
During normal use, the battery icon on the status icon bar of the display will identify
the level of charge within the battery (see Section 4.4).
You can recharge the battery as and when required during normal use. To recharge
the battery, simply connect the Multi Purpose to an external electrical supply outlet.

We recommend that you recharge the battery as soon as possible after the
battery less than 10% full icon is displayed.

During recharging, the status icon bar will continually show the battery less
than 10% full, battery 10 to 32% full, battery 33 to 65% full and battery 66
to 100% full icons in sequence.

You can recharge the battery with the Multi Purpose switched on or off.

5.3 Multi Purpose set-up
When you switch on the Multi Purpose, a start-up screen is first displayed (see
Section 4.2), then the Measurement screen (Figure 3) is displayed.
When the Measurement screen is displayed, you can set up the Multi Purpose as
described below.
5.3.1 Selecting the security level and changing the password(s)
Introduction to security levels/passwords
You can configure the Multi Purpose to provide any of three levels of security:
Figure 4 shows the options/screens which can be password-protected within the menu
structure.
Security level Function
Low None of the options/screens are password protected *.
Standard Some of the options/screens are protected by a
supervisor password.
High Some of the options/screens are protected by a
supervisor password and some of the options/screens
are protected by an operator password

.
* Except for the change the password(s) and select the security level
options/screens: see notes below.
The supervisor password can also be used to access options/screens
protected by the operator password: see notes below.

The change the password(s) and select the security level screens/options
are always protected by the supervisor password, regardless of the security
level selected. This is to ensure that unauthorised personnel cannot change
the security level and password(s) and so lock out the Multi Purpose from
other users.

The supervisor password provides access to all password protected options/

screens. That is, if you have selected the high security level and are
prompted to enter the operator password, you can also access the option/
screen by entering the supervisor password.

Password protection can be used to prevent adjustment of the clock by

unauthorised persons, so ensuring the validity of measurement times and
the time since last calibration history.

6 GENERAL OPERATION
6.1 Calibrating the Multi Purpose
WARNING
This gas analyser may be used with sample and/or calibration gases that
could present a toxic hazard, as the local gas concentrations may exceed
short- or long-term exposure limits (and very high dilution rates may be
needed to safely vent the gases used). You must therefore ensure that
you are fully aware of the potential hazards of the gases used, carry out
your own risk assessment and create suitable safe working practices
based on these hazards, and ensure that these working practices are
complied with whenever the analyser is used. If in doubt about the
potential hazards of the gases to be used with the analyser, seek expert
advice from appropriate specialists/safety consultants.
CAUTION
Sample and calibration gases must be as specified in Sections 2.2 and 2.3. If
your sample or calibration gas pressures and/or flow rates are above those
specified in Sections 2.2 and 2.3, you must regulate the gases externally,
before they enter the Multi Purpose.

The pressure of your calibration gas supply must be the same as the
pressure of the gases to be sampled. If the pressures are different, sample
gas measurements may not be accurate.

For a Multi Purpose HF, the calibration gas flow rate should be as close as
possible to the flow rate of sample gases.

If you do not allow calibration gas to pass through the Multi Purpose for 3 to
5 minutes before you start the calibration procedure, the measurement
system in the Multi Purpose may not be fully purged of other residual gases,
and the calibration may not be accurate.

Do not knock or move the Multi Purpose during calibration. If you do, the
calibration measurements may be affected.

For a standard Multi Purpose with a sample pump, the following calibration
procedure assumes that you have selected manual pump operation. If you
have selected timed pump operation, you must ensure that the pump
operation time is set correctly to allow calibration gas to pass through the
Multi Purpose for sufficient time: refer to Section 5.3.5 for more information.

For a Multi Purpose HF, no calibration T piece is supplied and no such T

piece should be used. You must not switch on the Multi Purpose HF sample
pump at any time during the calibration procedure.

The calibration procedure in this section is for a Multi Purpose without an

optional flowmeter or sample conditioning panel. If your Multi Purpose has
one of these options, refer to the appropriate Appendix A6 or Appendix A7
for additional information on calibration.
5200 Multi Purpose and 5200 Multi Purpose HF Gas Analysers
05230001A / Revision 8 36
You must calibrate the Multi Purpose as part of the initial set-up (see Section 5.3), and
whenever the Multi Purpose has been moved to a different environment. We also
recommend that you calibrate the Multi Purpose at each power up, to avoid
measurement errors due to changes in ambient conditions. Calibrate the Multi
Purpose as follows:
1. If you have a Multi Purpose HF or a standard Multi Purpose without a sample
pump:
Connect your calibration gas supply to the sample gas inlet on the front of the
Multi Purpose (see Figure 1). Ensure that the calibration gas pressure is as
specified in Section 2.3.
Allow the calibration gas to pass through the Multi Purpose for 3 to 5 minutes,
then continue at Step 3.
2. If you have a standard Multi Purpose with a sample pump:
Connect the branch on the calibration T piece to the sample gas inlet on the
front of the Multi Purpose (see Figure 1)
Connect a suitable vent pipeline to one end of the calibration T piece;
alternatively, if it is safe to do so, leave the end of the T piece open to vent
to the local atmosphere.
Connect your calibration gas supply to the other end of the T piece.
Switch on the sample pump (see Section 5.3.5), allow the calibration gas to
pass through the Multi Purpose for 3 to 5 minutes, then continue at Step 3.
3. Press the soft key on the Measurement screen (or select the "Calibrate"
option from the Menu screen) to display the Calibrate screen (see Figure 20).
Note that the "9999d" field of the screen shown in Figure 20 will identify the
period of time that has elapsed since the last calibration, and can be in any of
the following forms:
4. Use the and soft keys to select the required calibration, that is:
Lo (low calibration gas: for example, nitrogen for an oxygen sensor).
Hi (high calibration gas: for example, oxygen for an oxygen sensor).

On a 2-measurement
Multi Purpose, this
screen will show one
Lo and one Hi
calibration for each of
the two gases.

5. Press the soft key. The Calibrate target value screen will then be shown
(see Figure 21), identifying the target value and the current reading.
6. If the target value is not that for the calibration gas which you are using, change
the target value to the required value: use the edit method in Section 4.10.
7. When the current reading is stable, press the soft key. The Multi Purpose
will then carry out the specified calibration.
8. If you have a standard Multi Purpose with a sample pump, switch the pump off
(if necessary: see Section 5.3.5).
9. Disconnect the calibration gas supply from the sample gas inlet or the calibration
T piece.
10. Repeat Steps 1 to 9 of this section for the second calibration for the specific
sample gas.
11. If your Multi Purpose is configured to provide two sample gas measurements,
repeat Steps 1 to 10 of this section to carry out the Lo and Hi calibrations for
the second sample gas.
12. On a Multi Purpose with the optional sample pump: disconnect your vent
pipeline (if fitted) from the calibration T piece, then disconnect the T piece from
the sample gas inlet.
13. Press the soft key to display the Measurement screen again.

6.2 Taking sample readings
1. If necessary, calibrate the Multi Purpose: see Section 6.1.
2. Ensure that the Measurement screen is displayed: see Section 4.
3. Use the quick-connect fitting supplied to connect the sample gas supply to the
sample gas inlet on the front of the Multi Purpose (see Figure 1).
4. If your Multi Purpose has a sample pump, start the sample pump: see
Section 5.3.5.
5. Wait until the measurement shown on the screen has stabilised, then take note
of the reading.
6. If your Multi Purpose has a sample pump and you have selected manual pump
operation, stop the sample pump: see Section 5.3.5.
7. Turn off the sample gas supply, or disconnect it from the sample gas inlet on the
front of the Multi Purpose.
Repeat Steps 3 to 7 as necessary, for different gas samples to be measured.

Depending on how you have configured the measurement alarms, and on

how you connect the sample gases to the Multi Purpose, a measurement
alarm may occur when you change sample gases as described below.

Unless your sample gases are known to be dry, you must connect the drying
tube (supplied with the Multi Purpose) to the sample gas inlet on the Multi
Purpose, and then connect your sample gas supply to the drying tube.

The procedure in this section is for a Multi Purpose without an optional

flowmeter, sample conditioning panel or gas probe. If your Multi Purpose has
one or more of these options, refer to the appropriate Appendix A6,
Appendix A7 or Appendix A8 for additional information on sampling.

6.3 Correcting oxygen measurement for different background gases
6.3.1 Overview of measurement errors
For an oxygen sensor, the composition of any typical background gas in the gas
sample will have a negligible effect on the Multi Purpose measurement. For a Multi
Purpose which has been Lo calibrated with nitrogen and Hi calibrated with oxygen,
the cross-interference errors (that is, oxygen measurement errors) in gases which
contain 100% of a specific background gas will be as shown below:
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.
If you cannot ignore the error, you can use the procedure in Section 6.3.2 to enter a
compensation to correct for the error.
6.3.2 Entering a cross-interference compensation
Use the following procedure to enter a compensation to correct for an oxygen
measurement error:
1. Press the soft key to display the Menu screen, use the and soft
keys to highlight the "Set up" menu option, then press the soft key. The Set
up screen will then be displayed (see Figure 17).

If you are measuring oxygen in a background of nitrogen or air, you do not

need to correct the measurements.
Background gas Error Background gas Error
Argon -0.22% Krypton -0.49%
Carbon dioxide -0.26% Neon -0.15%
Halothane -1.93% Nitrous oxide -0.20%
Helium -0.29% Xenon -0.92%

You can only apply cross-interference compensation to oxygen sample

measurements. You must not apply cross-interference compensation to IR
gas measurements.

Cross-interference compensation is disabled during calibration, and is not

applied to the values shown in Figure 21. All other outputs (that is, serial or
milliAmp outputs) remain compensated.

6.5 Configuring the measurement alarms
6.5.1 Alarm modes and levels
Two separate measurement alarms are available for each sample gas measurement
for which the Multi Purpose is configured, and you can configure each alarm to operate
in one of three modes:
While a measurement alarm condition is activated:
An alarm icon is shown on the measurement screen (see Section 4.2). The
number ("1" or "2") in the icon will identify the alarm which has been triggered.
If the audible measurement alarm is enabled (see Section 6.5.5), the audible alarm
goes on.
The alarm LED on the front of the Multi Purpose (see Figure 1) flashes on and off.
You can view the details of the activated alarm: see Section 6.5.8.
6.5.2 Latching/non-latching alarms
You can configure each of the two measurement alarms to be either latching or not
latching:
Alarm mode Operation
None The alarm is not used (that is, an alarm condition will
not be activated under any circumstances).
Low alarm An alarm condition will be activated when a sample
measurement is lower than the preset alarm level.
High alarm An alarm condition will be activated when a sample
measurement is higher than the preset alarm level.
Alarm setting Meaning
Latching Once the alarm condition has been activated, the
alarm condition remains activated (even if
subsequent sample measurements would not trigger
the alarm) until the alarm is manually unlatched: see
Section 6.5.7.
Not latching Once the alarm condition has been activated, the
alarm condition remains activated only until a
subsequent sample measurement which would not
trigger the alarm is made. The alarm condition is then
deactivated.
5200 Multi Purpose and 5200 Multi Purpose HF Gas Analysers
05230001A / Revision 8 44
6.5.3 Hysteresis levels
The hysteresis level associated with a measurement alarm determines when an alarm
condition (once activated) is deactivated, and this depends on the alarm mode, as
follows:
For example:
If a low alarm has an alarm level of 18% and a hysteresis level of 1%, the alarm
will be activated when a sample measurement is <18%, and the alarm will not be
deactivated until a sample measurement is >19%.
If a high alarm has an alarm level of 20% and a hysteresis level of 2%, the alarm
will be activated when a sample measurement is >20%, and the alarm will not be
deactivated until a sample measurement is <18%.
Alarm mode Effect of hysteresis
Low alarm Once the low alarm condition has been activated, the
alarm condition will not be deactivated until a sample
measurement is above (alarm level +hysteresis level).
High alarm Once the high alarm condition has been activated, the
alarm condition will not be deactivated until a sample
measurement is below (alarm level - hysteresis level).

6.6 Configuring and using the milliAmp outputs (optional feature)
6.6.1 Overview
The Multi Purpose can be supplied with a milliAmp output for each sample gas
measurement for which the Multi Purpose is configured. Each milliAmp output
provides a constantly updated output (from the connector(s) on the rear of the Multi
Purpose, see Figure 2), in which the current represents the value of gas sample
measurements.
The Multi Purpose allows you to specify two separate output configurations for each
milliAmp output: Range 1 and Range 2. The Range with which a measurement is
currently associated is shown on the Measurement screen (see Figure 3):
Each milliAmp output provides one of the following selectable output current ranges,
for gas sample measurements:
0 to 20 mA, where 0 mA represents a sample measurement of 0 (zero) and 20 mA
represents a user selected highest sample measurement (the span).
4 to 20 mA, where 4 mA represents a sample measurement of 0 (zero) and 20 mA
represents a user selected highest sample measurement (the span).
In addition to the above, you can specify how the milliAmp output will operate during
calibration, during a fault condition, and during under-range conditions.
Details of the output parameters for the milliAmp outputs are given in Section 6.6.2.
Set up, configure, check, calibrate and use the milliAmp outputs as described in
Sections 6.6.3 to 6.6.6.

6.6.2 Introduction to the milliAmp output parameters
The milliAmp output parameters that you must set up are as follows:
Parameter Values/options
Range 1 high level The Range 1 highest sample measurement (span) *.
Range 2 high level The Range 2 highest sample measurement (span) *.
During calibration The selected option determines how the milliAmp output
will operate during calibration:
Freeze As soon as the calibration screen is
displayed, the milliAmp output will freeze at
its last output value. The output will only be
updated to reflect subsequent measurements
when calibration has been completed.
Follow The milliAmp output value will reflect the
measurement value, even during calibration.
J am condition The selected option determines how the milliAmp output
will operate during a fault condition:
High The output value will be held at 21.5 mA.
Low The output value will be held at 0 mA.
None The output values will continue to be derived
from the sample gas measurements, even
though these output values may be
erroneous.
mA output range 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA *, configurable as follows:
0-20% to 0-100% O
2
(standard oxygen sensor)
0-1% to 0-100% O
2
(industrial or high accuracy
oxygen sensor)
0-10% to 0-100% of Full Scale Range

(infrared sensor)
Underrange Any value below 4 mA
#
* See Section 6.6.1.
See Section 2.8.
# Only available if the 4-20 mA output range is selected; this sets the lowest out-
put current during normal operation, and allows negative gas concentrations
to be monitored through the milliAmp outputs. For example, with an under-
range setting of 3.8 mA, the milliAmp outputs can be less than 4 mA (which
indicates a zero gas concentration), down to a minimum of 3.8 mA, where an
output between 3.8 mA and 4 mA indicates a negative gas concentration.

6.7.3 Introduction to data logging
The Multi Purpose allows you to maintain a data log of sample measurements made,
within the Multi Purpose memory. The data log consists of one or more batches of
measurements, and a total of 200 measurements can be stored.
Each sample measurement entered in the log has:
an associated batch number
a sequence number of the sample measurement within the batch
the date and time that the measurement was made
an alarm indication (if the measurement caused a measurement alarm to be raised)
a fault indication (if a fault existed at the time of the measurement).
You must manually transfer measurements into the data log, specify when a new
batch is to start within the data log, and clear the data log when necessary.
At any time, you can view the currently stored data log on the Multi Purpose display,
or you can output it to a device (such as a PC) connected to the Multi Purpose serial
output port.
6.7.4 Entering measurement data into the data log
When you want to enter the sample measurement(s) from the Measurement screen
into the data log:
1. Press the soft key. When you press the soft key, the current sample
measurement at the time of the key press is captured (stored in internal
memory), and the Data logging screen will then be displayed (see Figure 42).
Figure 42 - The Data logging screen

The Multi Purpose cannot be configured to automatically log data over

specified periods of time. If you require such a facility, we recommend that
you select serial outputs (instead of data logging) and connect the serial
output to a PC or a commercially available data logger.

7 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
7.1 Cleaning the Multi Purpose
Regularly use a damp (but not wet) cloth to wipe clean the outer surfaces of the Multi
Purpose, to prevent the entry of dust or other particulates into the gas sample inlet or
the interior of the Multi Purpose.
7.2 Inspecting the inlet filter element
If you only use the Multi Purpose on applications which use clean, dry cylinder gases,
you will only need to inspect the inlet filter element every 3 months. On other
applications, we recommend that you inspect the inlet filter element more frequently.
1. Ensure that the Multi Purpose is switched off.
2. Unscrew and remove the filter retainer cap (see Figure 1).
WARNING
Sample and calibration gases may be toxic or asphyxiant. Never inspect
the inlet filter, remove the side panels from the Multi Purpose, or service
or repair the Multi Purpose while such gases are still connected to it.
WARNING
Sample and calibration gases may be toxic or asphyxiant and may build
up within the Multi Purpose during use. Always inspect the inlet filter,
service the Multi Purpose, or remove the side panels from the Multi
Purpose in a well-ventilated environment, so that such gases (if present)
do not present a hazard.
WARNING
Sample and calibration gases may be toxic or asphyxiant. If you suspect
there is a gross leak or internal pipework damage in the Multi Purpose,
leave the Multi Purpose in a well-ventilated environment for at least
8 hours before servicing or repair.

The filter element is made of borosilicate glass, and the filter retainer cap
O ring is made from Viton

(fluoroelastomer).

5. Ensure that the O ring is correctly located in the recess in the inner side of the
filter retainer cap, then refit and tighten the filter retainer cap.
7.3 Regenerate/replace the drying agent
A Multi Purpose without a Sample Conditioning Panel is supplied with a drying tube
which can be either of two types:
A flexible drying tube, containing an indicating silica gel drying agent.
A screw-top drying tube, containing non-indicating Drierite

drying agent.
If your Multi Purpose is supplied with a flexible drying tube, you must regenerate or
replace the drying agent when it has changed colour from orange to green: if required,
use the procedure given in Section A7.4.2 to regenerate the drying agent. After
regeneration or replacement of the drying agent, take care when you refit the barbed
connections on the drying tube, to ensure that they are securely fitted.
If your Multi Purpose is supplied with a screw-top drying tube, we recommend that you
regenerate or replace the drying agent after approximately 2 hours of use sampling
wet gases. If required, use the procedure given in Section A7.4.2 to regenerate the
drying agent.
When you want to replace the drying agent, note that both types of drying agent are
available as spares (see Section A7.5) or from various suppliers. The recommended
granule sizes for the drying agents are:
0.5-1.0 mm granule size for the indicating silica gel
8 mesh (or smaller) granule size for the Drierite

7.4 Use of the Multi Purpose for carbon monoxide measurements
If you use the Multi Purpose for carbon monoxide sample measurements, you must
regularly leak-test the Multi Purpose and the associated sample/vent lines or system.
We recommend that you leak-test the Multi Purpose at least once every 6 months:
If there are leaks within the Multi Purpose, it must be returned to Servomex for
repair. Do not continue to use the Multi Purpose.
You must seal any leaks in your sample/vent lines or system.
When you leak-test, ensure that you do not exceed the maximum pressure, and do not
increase the pressure in the Multi Purpose too quickly (see the caution above): we
recommend that you allow at least 30 seconds to fully pressurise the Multi Purpose to
the maximum pressure.
WARNING
If you sample carbon monoxide, the quantity of gas sampled by the
Multi Purpose may be above the short term exposure limit for carbon
monoxide, and so the sample should be considered to be toxic. You must
regularly leak-test the Multi Purpose and associated equipment. If leaks
are found, do not continue to use the analyser or associated equipment
until the leaks have been sealed.
CAUTION
When you carry out a leak test, do not exceed a maximum pressure of 34.5 kPa
gauge (5 psig, 0.35 bar gauge) and do not introduce a sudden change of
pressure into the Multi Purpose. If you do, you can damage it.

7.5 Preventative maintenance
To minimise unscheduled Multi Purpose downtime, to ensure the proper operation of
the Multi Purpose, and to comply with the guidelines of applicable regulatory bodies,
we recommend that you utilise the Servomex annual preventative maintenance
program for your Multi Purpose.
The preventative maintenance program consists of a yearly inspection of the Multi
Purpose at a Servomex service facility, and repair of any faults, to ensure that the Multi
Purpose meets its original factory specification. Once inspection and repair are
complete, the Multi Purpose is returned, together with a dated service certificate.
Note that:
Loan analysers are available for your use while your Multi Purpose is undergoing
preventative maintenance.
You will always be informed in advance if any repairs or new parts are required for
your Multi Purpose.
Contact Servomex or your local Servomex agent to arrange for a preventative
maintenance contract.

Operate the Multi Purpose with the flowmeter as described in Sections 4 to 6 of this
manual, but with the exceptions noted below.
A6.5 Multi Purpose HF and standard Multi Purpose with a sample pump
Calibrate the Multi Purpose as described in Section 6.1, but:
Connect the calibration gas supply to the sample gas inlet on the flowmeter
(Figure A2, item 3), not to the Multi Purpose.
Use the flow control valve (Figure A2, item 4) to adjust the flow of calibration gas
into the Multi Purpose to the required flow rate.
Take sample readings as described in Section 6.2, but:
Connect the sample gas supply to the sample gas inlet on the flowmeter (Figure A2,
item 3), not to the Multi Purpose.
Use the flow control valve (Figure A2, item 4) to adjust the flow of sample gas into
the Multi Purpose to the required flow rate.
A6.6 Standard Multi Purpose without a sample pump
Calibrate the Multi Purpose as described in Section 6.1, but connect the branch on the
calibration T piece to the sample gas inlet on the flowmeter (Figure A2, item 3), not
to the Multi Purpose.
Take sample readings as described in Section 6.2, but connect the sample gas supply
to the sample gas inlet on the flowmeter (Figure A2, item 3), not to the Multi Purpose.

The flow rate of your calibration gas supply must be the same as the flow
rate of the gases to be sampled. If the flow rates are different, sample gas
measurements may not be accurate.

APPENDIX
A7 OPTIONAL SAMPLE CONDITIONING PANEL
A7.1 Overview
The optional sample conditioning panel allows for use of the Multi Purpose to measure
the oxygen content of wet gas samples, for example on a spot-check basis (when
close control of boiler efficiency is not required), or while carrying out boiler
performance surveys.
Refer to Figure A3. If you order this option, the sample conditioning panel (2) will be
supplied fitted to the side of the Multi Purpose (1).
During sampling, sample gas passes through the catchpot (6), and then the drier (3,
which contains a drying agent), before passing into the Multi Purpose.
You must drain the catchpot when necessary (see Section A7.4.1) and you must
regularly regenerate or replace the drying agent (see Section A7.4.2).
A7.2 Specification

A drying tube is not supplied if your Multi Purpose has the sample
conditioning panel fitted, as the panel has an integral drier.

* The response times are approximate and are those necessary to reach 90% of
final measurement, with indicating silica gel as the drying agent. If required, you
can use calcium sulphate as the drying agent (see Section A7.4.2), to reduce
response time to approximately 50 seconds.
For maximum operating life and efficiency.

A7.3 Using the Multi Purpose with the sample conditioning panel
A7.4 Calibrating
You must calibrate the Multi Purpose with the sample conditioning panel as described
in Section 6.1, but you must connect the calibration gas supply to the sample gas inlet
on the sample conditioning panel (Figure A3, item 7).
A7.5 Sampling gases
To obtain the best results from flue gas sampling, we recommend that you locate the
end of the sample pipe/probe as close as possible to the centre of the flue duct. If the
end of the sample pipe/probe is too close to the wall of the flue duct, the gases
sampled may not be representative of the boiler combustion products because of the
stratification of the gases, or because of leaks in the duct.
Refer to Figure A3. When you want to sample gases:
1. Ensure that the inlet pipe (4) from the sample conditioning panel is connected to
the sample gas inlet on the front of the Multi Purpose (Figure 1, item 8).
2. Take sample readings as described in Section 6.2, but note that:
You must connect a gas sample pipe/probe to the sample gas inlet (7) on the
sample conditioning panel.
Route the end of the sample pipe/probe to a suitable sample point (see
above).
Allow sufficient time for the sample measurement to stabilise (see
Section A7.2).

If the sample gases are very dirty (that is, contain soot or particulates), we
recommend that you use the catchpot as a bubbler when you carry out
sample measurements; that is: remove the top of the catchpot and fill the
catchpot with clean water to a level just above the bottom of the gas inlet
pipe in the catchpot.

If you are sampling flue gases, ensure that you position the end of the
sample pipe/probe at a location in the flue where the gases are
representative of the boiler combustion products.

A7.6 Additional maintenance
A7.7 Draining the catchpot
Refer to Figure A3. During use, liquid entrained in the sampled gases will be
condensed in the catchpot (6).
When necessary (that is, when liquid is visible in the transparent body of the catchpot):
1. Place a suitable container under the catchpot drain plug (5).
2. Remove the drain plug and allow the liquid to drain from the catchpot.
3. Refit the drain plug and safely dispose of the drained liquid: refer to Section 9.2.
A7.8 Replacing/regenerating the drying agent
The colour of the silica gel drying agent in the drier is orange as supplied, and the
column of drying agent will turn progressively green as moisture is absorbed. When
the whole column of drying agent has turned green, the drying agent needs to be
regenerated or replaced.
You can regenerate the drying agent by passing dry air or dry nitrogen through the
drier, or:
Removing it from the drier and laying it out on a tray, approximately 1 granule thick.
Heating the silica gel on the tray in an oven at a temperature of 110 to 120
o
C (230
to 248
o
F) until the granules have turned orange again, or heating the calcium
sulphate (Drierite

) on the tray at a temperature of 210

o
C (425
o
F) for 1 hour.
The drying agent supplied will turn orange again when it has been successfully
regenerated. More than 100 regenerations can be made before the drying agent
becomes ineffective.
When necessary, dispose of the drying agent and replace with new drying agent,
available as a spare (see Section A7.5).

Do not allow the level of liquid in the catchpot to rise above the top of the
transparent body of the catchpot.
WARNING
If you replace the drying agent, ensure that you comply with any safe
handling and usage requirements specified on or with the package
containing the new drying agent.

If required, replace the silica gel drying agent supplied with calcium sulphate
(for example, use Drierite

), to reduce the response time: see Section A7.2.
