Lh1500 Online Gas Leakage Analyzer¹

Product Description LH1500 Online Gas Leakage Analyzer (hereinafter LH1500) is specially designed instrument to precisely detect the gas leakage. It is widely used in such areas as electric power, steel, petroleum, chemical, shipping, tunnel, etc. to perform online leakage detection of gases( for example, flammable gases like hydrogen, methane). The instrument takes advantage of world leading sensing technology, which can monitor the area simultaneously with multi points in real time. The system consists of one host machine and 8 gas sensitive transmitters, and is flexible control. Structure featuresLH1500 use the split-type design which separates the host machine and the transmitters. The host is placed in the safety zone and the transmitters are placed in dangerous zone where may accrue gas leakage. The protection class reaches IP54. The 8-18 transmitter channel can be arbitrary choice. The host machine consists of signal acquisition, signal conversion, display unit and cabinet, which are easy to install. Working principle  The signal from the gas sensitive transmitters is converted into digital signal by the high precision A/D converter and displayed on the industrial true color LCD after processed by the embedded CPU. Through the converter and the corresponding circuit, it can realize output of (4~20) mA analog signal, also output of RS485 digital signal . The user can use the panel buttons to operate the instrument. Technical featuresPerformanceIndustrial true color LCD, high definition display, human-machine interface windows, the drop-down menu.8 lines of (4~20) mA analog transmitter input interface which has the most analog channels inthe same kind product, compatible with 3-wires transmitter and 2-wires transmitter.On the same host machine, every transmitter can be configured individually, monitoring different gas types, ranges and data units.Reserved digital transmitter input interface: 1 line RS485 connecting intelligent device, such as GD6102 gas flow purity analyzer and so on.Output interface: 8 lines (4~20) mA, 8 lines H alarm, 1 line total alarm. Use large capacity flash memory chip to save the historical data, no data losing when power-off, every minute store a set of data which can be stored for 100 days, user can query data by date. The platform circuit design, use advanced ARM digital processing technique, high reliability and great anti-interference performance. ParametersWorking conditions Working temperature:(0~50) oC.Relative Humidity:<90%(25 oC) .Environment pressure:(86~110) kPa.Non corrosive gas or vapor environment.In no significant shake and shock place. Technical parameterTechnical parameter of LH1500 online gas leakage analyzera) Power Supply:(110~240) V AC;(50±2) Hz;≤0.25 A. Measurement range and Accuracy: Gas typeMeasurement rangeAccuracyHydrogen(0.0~4.0)%H2(0.0~2.0)%H2, ±0.2%H2(>2.0~4.0)%H2,±0.3%H2Response time: <30 s.Display mode: industrial grade high-definition LCD screen.Analog input: (4~20) mA.Digital input: RS485.Analog output:(4~20) mA, 500Ω of maximum load resistance.Alarm output: H alarm which can be set SPST.Alarm output contact capacity: 250 V AC/5 A; 30 V DC/5 A.Measurement channels: ≤8 lines. Explosion grade:Host machine:[Ex ia Ga]C.

It has been calibrated at the factory according to standard application conditions. Required Equipments and MaterialsZero Point Gas:Clean air Linear Gas:(1.50~2.50)% Hydrogen of standard gas(the background gas is air)Note: The calibration accuracy depends on the quality of zero point gas and standard gas as well as the accuracy of output current by the standard power supply. Calibration methods    Calibration methods are the same for each transmitter. See Figure 6.12 for the appearance dimension of the transmitter.Figure 6.12 Transmitter appearance dimensionBefore the transmitter calibration,the front cover of the transmitter should be taken off first, please turn it in anti-clockwise rotation, a circuit board will be found inside after screwing the cover slowly. The adjustable potentiometer is on the circuit board, the potentiometer zero mark as ZERO, and the potentiometer span mark as SPAN. The calibration method is as follows.Zero point calibration:Put the sensor side of the transmitter into the zero point gas (usually clean air). After the indication of the host machine gets stable, adjust the current to 0% with potentiometer ZERO (low in clockwise and high in anti-clockwise) if the reading is not 0%.Linear calibration : Input the linear standard gas to the inlet of the transmitter (recommendedstandard gas is (1.50~2.50)% Hydrogen and the background gas is air) and adjust the flow rate to (200~300) mL/min. After the host machine gets stable, if the display value does not accord with the standard gas, adjust the potentiometer SPAN (turn clockwise and counterclockwise) until the display value is consistent with the standard gas value. Follow the same operation to calibrate the other transmitters.When calibration completed, properly install the cover with the transmitter.Note:Make sure the correct wire connection otherwise the transmitter might be damaged. When calibration is performed in the field, do avoid of generating explosive gas mixture.Notes: Please contact the manufacturer or supplier for calibrating GD6102 gas flow purity analyzer transmitter.Calibration CycleUser calibration cycle: In the field, user can check the measurement accuracy with reference standards when the instrument is running. The calibration cycle of LH1500 online Gas leakage analyzer is 12 months. When the measured gas humidity is higher or the concentration of Hydrogen is higher, shorten the calibration cycle accordingly. The analyzer should be calibrated in time after replacing the main components or repairing.FAQ and Solutions Failure introductionReasonsolutionRemarksNo display on LCD whenpowering onNo power conductionCheck the powerAny unsolved problems occur, Please contact the factory ASAP.The transmitter display larger errorThe calibration data loses or changesRecalibrate or return to the factory ,or replace thesensor probeThe transmitter displaysdisconnectingThe transmitter is not wellconnected.Check the wiringClock has no changeThe button battery withoutelectricityReplace the batteryStorage and shippingThe packed host machine is suitable for any mode of transportation, but should be handled with care and keep away from inversion, sun, rain and strong vibration.
