Implementation: The RS-232 protocol allows some flexibility in its

implementation. Table 2-9 lists certain RS-232 values that are required by
the Model 7120 implementation.

Gas Requirements

Instrument Air is required for zeroing of the Infrared Analyzer. It must

be free of oil, particulates and water vapor (that will not condensate,
unfiltered plant air is not recommended).
A supply pressure of 10-
100psig with a typical flow rate of 2 scfh (1 lpm) is needed. Bottled gas is
recommended (air or Nitrogen) if high quality air is not available.

For accurate calibration, the analyzer requires blended gas mixtures

certified to +/- 2% accuracy.

Testing the System

Before plugging the instrument into the power source:

Check the integrity and accuracy of the fluid connections. Make
sure there are no leaks.

Check the integrity and accuracy of the electrical connections.
Make sure there are no exposed conductors

Check that sample pressure is controlled accuracately and is
maintained between 0 to 10 psig, according to the requirements
of your process.

NOTE: Special designed systems may require checks under vacuum

or high pressure (consult manual addendum).

Power up the system, and test it by performing the following

operations:
