Sa fe ty instructions



8/49

WARNING: dangerous gases!

The chromatograph operates with various gases which may be more or less dangerous.

Before carrying out work on the chromatograph, always determine which gases the chroma-

tograph is operating with, in particular the composition of the sample gas.

Pass all exhaust gases from the chromatograph into a common line and route away from the

installation location.

Always make sure that there is sufficient ventilation

n if you are working with hydrogen since this forms an explosive mixture with airn if you are working with liquid CO2. Breathing in of larger quantities of CO2 results in an

oxygen deficiency even up to unconsciousness or death through suffocation.n if you permit the sample gas line to run empty, and the sample gas contains corrosive or

toxic components.

The analysis of mixtures containing CS2 is not permitted.

WARNING: danger of explosion!

The chromatograph may require gases for operation which form an explosive mixture with

air!

Before carrying out work on the chromatograph, always determine which gases the chroma-

tograph is operating with.

Pass all exhaust gases from the chromatograph into a common line and route away from the

installation location.

Always make sure that there is sufficient ventilation.

WARNING: danger of explosion!

The chromatograph is intended for the analysis of gaseous flammable and non-flammable

media. Hydrogen or inert gases are used as carrier gases. In the analysis of flammable me-

dia or when using hydrogen as the carrier gas, only traces of oxygen occur in the sample; inother cases, the oxygen content of the sample is limited to the concentration that normally

occurs in inhaled air.

The analysis of mixtures of flammable gases and other gases at a pressure of > 1.1 bar isnot permissible for explosive mixtures.

Flammable gases that are explosive under the conditions relevant to the analysis, even with

the exclusion of oxygen, may only be contained in the mixture for analysis in concentrationsthat are not critical for safety.

CAUTION: danger of corrosion!

The housing is extremely resistant to solvents, weak alkalis and acids. When used in envi -

ronments with strong alkalis and acids at increased temperatures, the resistance should be

tested in individual cases.

Safe ty instructions

n Switch the chromatograph off.n Discharge all static from yourself by touching a grounded object or by wearing an ESD

wrist band.n

Only use tools which are free of static charges.n Do not touch any pins or printed conductors. Only hold modules on their edges.

Exclusion from liability for external accessories

If you use or wish to connect accessories to your chromatograph which we have not expressly recom-mended, please ask us to first confirm that the operational safety of the chromatograph will not be influ-

enced by these external accessories. Without this confirmation we will accept no liability for the opera-

tional safety.

10/49


The installation and operation of electrical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres is re-

gulated by the guideline RL 99/92/EU (ATEX 137). Reference is made in this guideline to general

technical regulations.

WARNING:

The test certificate for your explosion-proof chromatograph only applies to the original confi-

guration with connection and installation according to the Siemens circuit and piping dia -

grams. The explosion protection for your device is cancelled if one or more components are

modified.

Conditions

The test certificate together with any supplements includes all conditions specified for installation and

operation of the chromatograph.

Identification for explosion protection

The chromatograph is flameproof, i.e. the housing is resistant to an internal explosion pressure. The

housing of your MicroSAM has a rating plate on which the identification for explosion protection is spe-

cified: II 2 G EEx d IIC T4

Switching on the chromatograph

The power supply to the chromatograph must only be switched on if it has been correctly connected!

Opening the housing with the power supply switched off

Before opening the housing in the potentially explosive atmosphere, the power supply must be switched

off and an essential waiting time of 60 minutes subsequently observed.

WARNING:

As a result of hot components and residual electric charges in the chromatograph, explo-

sions may occur if the housing is opened too soon. A corresponding reference to this is pre-

sent on the chromatograph!

Opening the housing with the power supply switched on

A diagnostics plug is located behind the status display panel. The housing must be opened in order toaccess this. In the potentially explosive atmosphere, this is only permissible with a fire permission certi-ficate.

WARNING:

Opening the housing in the potentially explosive atmosphere with the power supply switched

on is only permissible with a fire permission certificate.

n Gas lines, sample lines, exhaust linesn Power supply switch, mains fuse, mains cablen Equipotential bonding cablen Communication cable

CAUTION

Leave the dummy plugs on the gas inlets until you wish to start the chromatograph. The

commissioning engineer should only connect the gas lines to the chromatograph when they

have been checked!

WARNINGDo not use a different carrier gas, than specified in the application documentation!

The thermal conductivity detectors may be damaged otherwise.

Gas linesn Material: copper or stainless steel 6 mm x 1 mm (1/4"). Only use extremely clean gas lines. Clean

them if necessary prior to assembly.n Route the gas lines up to the chromatograph according to the piping diagram. Connect a shut-off val-

ve in each line upstream of the chromatograph.

Cleaning the pipes

n Flush using a volatile solvent (acetone, hexane, but not chlorinated hydrocarbons!)n Then heat the pipes while flushing with protective gas, e.g. five minutes at 200 C. Purity of protecti-

ve gas 99.999 %.

IMPORTANT:

All chromatograph-specific connection diagrams can be found in the manual in the RegisterExternal piping and wiring diagrams.

CAUTION:

The 3mm adaptors at the gas connections 3, 4 and 5 are containing a filter each.They must not be removed.

Sample linesn The sample conditioning must be fitted close to the chromatograph so that the connection lines are

short.n The sample line to the chromatograph should have a downward gradient.

IMPORTANT:

The injector valves have a shorter life if the sample contains solid components! A filter is re -

quired upstream of the injector in this case. We recommend filters with a separating ca pacity:

n Liquid sample: 98% for 0.3 m particlesn Gaseous sample: 99.99% for 0.1 m particles.

Siemens sample conditioning units contain such filters.

Exhaust lines

All exhaust gases from the chromatograph must be routed into a common line. The individual exhaust

lines must have a downward gradient to the common line. Their diameter must not be reduced.

Material of common exhaust line

Stainless steel pipe with an internal diameter of at least 12 mm (1/2") with welded couplings and scre-

wed glands. Minimum downward gradient 1 : 10.

Breathing device

If the MicroSAM housing is purged with air or inert gas, a piping can be connected here. This piping

must be designed in such a way that atmospheric pressure conditions are present in the piping system.

WARNING: Breathing device

The breathing device may not be locked!

Power switch and fuse

The chromatograph does not have a power switch. A power switch and fuse with a rating of 2.5 A at

min. 24 V must be fitted in the building installation. The power switch should be installed close to the

chromatograph.

Connecting the power supply cable

The chromatograph is delivered with a 4-m long cable. The cable diameter is 18 mm.

Installation

point. Cable cross-section 2.5 to 6 mm2. The contact washer must always be present between the cable

lug and the housing. Sequence: housing, contact washer, cable lug, plain washer, M6 screw.

Lightning protection

In areas where storms occur, we recommend appropriate lightning protection equipment to protect per-

sonnel and equipment. The following are required for comprehensive protection:

n Lightning conductorn Earthed metal band in building to protect against static charges. This is especially important at grea-

ter heights and with dry air.n Transient suppressor in all lines leading to the chromatograph. These are available e.g. from Phoenix

Contact.

Cable type

We recommend twisted pair cables, 0.14 mm2, shielded, AWG 26.

Conversion of serial interface to RS232 or RS485

MicroSAM has only one serial interface which can be switched between RS232 and RS485. It is neces-

sary to assign com1 to RS232 and com2 to RS485 in the System Manager, as described in the SystemManager instructions.

Terminating resistors for MODBUS with RS485

RS485 cables must be terminated at both ends with 120- resistors in order to prevent reflections. This

resistor is present in the MicroSAM. It can be switched on using the software. This is usu ally carried out

in the MicroSAM which is furthest away.

CAUTION: explosion protection

All conductors must be connected in the junction box. This means that cables must not have

more conductors than are actually required.

Startup

CAUTION

To prevent damage to the chromatograph, carry out all work in the sequence listed in the se

instructions.

Connecting the gasesn Check that all gas lines correspond to the piping diagram and that all gases and gas lines are cleann Thoroughly purge the gas lines againn Remove the dummy plugs from the gas inlets and outletsn Connect the gas lines according to the piping diagramn Connect the exhaust lines according to the piping diagram

Adjusting the gases

Open up the carrier gas valve.

WARNING: danger of explosion

Observe the explosion protection regulations if you are starting up an explosion-proof chro-

matograph!

Switching on the chromatograph

Switch on the power supply. The MicroSAM does not have a power switch. We recommend an external

power switch.


If flammable gases are supplied at a pressure of > 1.1 bar, the chromatograph and the gas

inlet pipe must be purged with carrier gas before switching on the chromatograph.

If atmosphere can infiltrate the pipe system as a result of repair or maintenance, the chro ma-

tograph must be switched off before starting the maintenance. After completion of the work,

the gas supply pipe must be purged with carrier gas before the chromatograph is switchedon again.

Testing the system for leaks

Using an appropriate flowmeter, check that no gas is released from line 6. Refer to Gas connections on

the chromatograph . If gas is released, there is a leak in the pneumatic connector.

Connecting the sample pressure

Please observe the information on Filters and Permissible sample pressure.

Starting the PC and control software

The System Manager must be started and the connection to the chromatograph made so that data can

be recorded on the PC. Refer to Establishment of communication.

Startup



25/49

Additionally for maintenance and first startup


You require a fire permission certificate to transport a laptop through the Ex zone and if you

wish to open a chromatograph in zone 1.

It is essential that you refer to the information in the registerExplosion protection.

Connecting local PC to chromatograph

Connect the local PC to the chromatograph as described in the registerInstallation: Local connection of

control unit, and start the control software as described in the registerOperation.

Starting cyclic operation

if the application is correct, switch the chromatograph to cyclic operation as described in the register

Operation.

Disconnecting local PC from chromatograph

Disconnect the local PC from the chromatograph as described in the registerInstallation : Localconnection of control unit.

ShutdownThe separating system and detector are contaminated least if the chromatograph is in operation. There-

fore do not switch off the chromatograph if the system is not used for a short period (up to 3 weeks).

Only switch off the output devices.

If you nevertheless switch off the chromatograph, we recommend the following sequence:

n Turn off all sample lines. Vent the lines if necessary, and flush them dry.n Switch the power supply off.n Allow the chromatograph to cool down. Up to half an hour may be required depending on the oven

temperature.n Switch off the carrier gas.

Startup



26/49

Operation

MicroSAM can be operated via Ethernet and a PC, or via the built-in control panel (MMI) of a MAXUMchromatograph, or via a network access unit (NAU).

Various stages of operation

Operation on the PC comprises three stages:

n System Manager - network monitoring and configuration of the chromatographn EZChrom - development of method and control of analysisn MMI emulation - operation and monitoring

System Manager configure database and applications

Provides the connection to the chromatograph, and an overview of the network.

Serves for configuration and high-level monitoring of the chromatograph. Also branches to the MMI

emulation, EZChrom and the basic editor.

The System Manager outputs almost exclusively static displays, i.e. it fetches a table from the chroma -

tograph's database, and saves it again later. Only results and alarms are displayed in dy namic mode.

The System Manager displays the hardware in tables, i.e. the system table includes all hardware com-

ponents of the chromatograph: detectors, valves, ovens, digital outputs etc.

EZChrom generate methods and sample sequences

Methods and sample sequence lists of an application can be generated and modified using EZChrom,

e.g. optimize evaluation parameters, modify time programs, display chromatograms and results, re-inte-gration.

Access to the chromatograph's database is exclusively static.

MMI emulation operation and monitoring

This is identical to operation on the built-in control panel of a MAXUM or an NAU. It is used for operati-

on and monitoring, e.g. view results, switch valves, modify temperatures. However, there are only mini-mum facilities for editing configurations and tables.

MMI is always a dynamic display.

Where and how the data are organized

One must be acquainted with the following terms when using the chromatograph: database, application,

methods, sample sequences.

The database

All parameters of a chromatograph are saved in a database. This contains configuration data and appli-

cations of the System Manager, EZChrom methods, sample sequences, archive and alarm log. This da -

tabase can be viewed in static or dynamic mode.

Staticcorresponds to a snapshot of the database, i.e. tables are imported from the database into the

PC, edited, and subsequently exported to the chromatograph again. The display is not automatically up-

dated. The data must be imported again in order to view modifications.

Dynamic means that the values are updated as soon as they change. Most of the MMI displays are dy-

namic. With the System Manager, only the results and alarms. EZChrom is always static.

In the System Manager, copies of the database can be saved on the hard disk, and saved da tabases

loaded into the chromatograph (file extension.AMD).

Application

Applications share the chromatograph hardware. Parts of the system table are assigned to each appli-

cation. These quasi generate a virtual chromatograph. Each application has sample flows, one or more

sample sequence lists, inputs/outputs, several EZChrom methods, basic programs, chromatograms,

temperature controllers, pressure regulators, results.

Operation



27/49

Each chromatograph can have several applications.

Methods

A method contains information required to analyze a sample stream: configuration data of detectors,valves etc., peak detection parameters and evaluation parameters, time programs. Methods are genera-

ted using EZChrom and exported to the chromatograph's database.

Sample sequences

These are lists of sample streams and assigned methods. Each application has at least one normal se-

quence and one calibration sequence. Although an application can have several sequences, only one is

active at a time.

How the data originaten When the chromatograph is switched on for the first time, it automatically generates the required en -

tries in the system table by Plug&Play. However, the chromatograph only recognizes, for example,

that it has an electronic temperature controller, but does not know which type of oven is to be con -trolled using it.

n In the second step, all hardware of your chromatograph is completely written in the factory by a confi-

guration program. The existing hardware is then assigned to one or more applications. The configura-tion program generates a text file which is imported into the chromatograph by the System Manager.

n The applicable data are subsequently determined, and entered using EZChrom: valve switching, eva-luation parameters etc. These data are saved as methods and a sample sequence list using EZ-

Chrom.n All data are finally exported together from the chromatograph's database as an AMD file using the

System Manager, saved with the remaining documentation on a CD, and supplied with the chromato-graph.

Monitoring the chromatograph's function

MicroSAM is completely parameterized when you switch it on (if you didn't order a basic unit and an an-

alytical module separately). It need only be integrated into the communication network, and calibrated of

course. It is subsequently only necessary to monitor correct functioning at regular intervals.

The LEDs

The LEDs behind the inspection window of your MicroSAM provide a initial impression of the status of

your MicroSAM. They have the following meanings:

Health status (right) Communication is taking pla ce

Establishment of communication

The IP address is factory-set in the MicroSAM to 192.168.144.0xx. "xx" corresponds to the last two di -

gits of the serial number on the rating plate. For example, the IP address is 192.168.144.047 if the seri-

al number of the MicroSAM is HX R5 347. The Subnet mask is always 255.255.255.0.

To permit your PC to communicate with the MicroSAM, its IP address must be in the same "world". This

means that its IP address must be manually set to 192.168.144.0 to 255, but of course must not be

identical to the IP address of the MicroSAM. We recommend that you set 192.168.144.254, and

255.255.255.0 as the Subnet mask.Once the System Manager has started, the new chromatograph must be entered using the functionAdd

Unit. More detailed information on the subject of Ethernet networking can be found in the description of

the System Manager.

Alarms

Open the associated chromatograph in the System Manager, and click on Alarm Log. All alarms are dis -

played here. These alarms can be deleted so that it is possible to check whether they occur again.

Checking the chromatogram

EZChrom can be used to compare the current chromatogram with previous chromatograms. This per -mits conclusions to be made concerning changes in the analytical system.

Checking the results

EZChrom can be used to check whether the results are complete and realistic.

IMPORTANT

The number of time events in EZChrom for MicroSAM must not exceed eight at the sameexecution time (Retention windows, valve switching etc.). Otherwise you will get an error

message later while executing the time events.

If you need more than eight time events at the same execution time, you must use slightly

different execution times for groups of eight time events each.

We use standardized analysis modules with MicroSAM. They are very powerful and thus are suit ablefor many different applications.

The most important feature is the in-line detection. The columns and the thermal conductivity detectors

(TCD) are connected in series. So MicroSAM can collect the results from the locations, where the com -

ponent separation is optimum.The TCDs are semi bridges w/o reference. Two TCDs are connencted in each case to a completebridge circuit in a way, that no overlapping of signals will occur.

Removing the analysis module

WARNING

Observe the regulations for explosion protection if the MicroSAM is installed in a potentially

explosive atmosphere.

When using the chromatograph in explosion hazardeous areas, a waiting time of 60 min.must be observed before opening the housing. After this time, the surface temperatures in-

side the chromatograph have cooled to < 135C and the electrical charge of internal compo-

nents will have reduced to an uncritical level.

n Loosen the hexagon socket screw (1.5 mm) in the top cover of the MicroSAM by two rotations.n Unscrew the top cover. If the cover cannot be opened by hand, you can increase the lever arm e.g.

by inserting two matching screwdrivers into the holes at the edge of the cover.n Remove the insulation.

WARNING

The explosion protection regulations specify that the covers of the MicroSAM housing areprotected against unintentional opening by a locking screw.

These screws must be loosened before opening.

After locking, these locking screws must be tightened.

n It is still necessary to load the analyzer parameters after switching on the MicroSAM again. To do

this, import the supplied text file into the MicroSAM as described in the documentation of the System

Manager.

Adjusting mechanical zero of the pressure regulators

If the pressure regulation is under suspicion to cause faulty analytical results, e.g. shifted retention

times, the function of the pressure regulators should be checked, and the mechanical zero should be

adjusted if necessary

WARNING

This service procedure may only be carried out by trained experts.

Danger of causing short circuits at the electronical boards.

For adjusting the mechanical zero the appropriate special tool has to be used.

On MMI in Maintenance Mode select the menu App I/O, Temperature & Pressure and in this menu theitem Pressure Controller. In the column PWMyou see the controller output signals for the four pressure

regulators. The controller output should read 10 to 30 %. If this value reads 0 or 100 %, the mechanical

zero should be adjusted.

Using the MMI, adjust the set value for the pressure according to the application documentation. Thenuse the special tool to adjust the pressure regulator until the PWM value reads approximately 20 %.

The photo shows the position of the pressure regulators. On the lower left you will find reg ulator 1 (yel -

low arrow), the numbers increase counterclockwise. While adjusting, off course, the electronic boards

are in place. You have to find the pressure regulators by "feeling" with the special tool.




37/49

If PWM was 0, turn left, the PWM value should increase. If PWM was 100, turn right, the PWM valueshould decrease. Adjust half rotation at maximum. If this is not sufficiet, ship the MicroSAM back to

Siemens for service.




38/49

The Live injection

The injection volume of the Live injection system can be adjusted by time events for the in jection valve.Thus a small well defined amount of sample is cut out of a big sample flow.

Filling the injection loop

The injection loop is beeing filled with sample.

Purging the injection loop

The injection loop is purged via the Live injection piece to the backflush vent.

Injection

A small part of the injection loop's volume is purged into the column. This injection volume can be

defined by modifying the pulse width for the injection valve.

Two columns are connected in series by the Live T-piece. The columns have e.g. different sepa-

rating characteristic. The various operating states of the live switching circuit are activated by

pressure changes in the gas supply lines of the Live T-piece: Straight, Backf lush, Cut. The elec-

tronic pressure regulators are controlled by time events.

Straight

The components pass through two columns in suc-

cession.

Backflush

Once a number of components have passed

through the first column, the flow direction in this

column is reversed. The components which are

still present in the first column are collected againat the beginning of this column and flushed out

into the open air via the backflush outlet.

This permits the analysis cycle to be drastically shortened: higher boiling components which only pass

through the first column slowly need not be removed at a higher temperature, a process which often re-

quires a long time.

Cut

Once a number of components have passed

through the first column, they are flushed out

through the cut outlet. They never reach the sec -ond column.

This method is used:

n to keep components away from the second column which cannot be backflushed because they are

followed by components which are still of interestn if components falsify the result or damage the second columnn to directly pass components onto a further detector, e.g. in order to shorten the duration of the analy-

sisn to divide components further on a third column (distribution).

Advantages of live switchingn The sample only comes into contact with metal parts in the live T-piece, but with no valves.n There are no temperature limitations because the switching valves are mounted outside the oven.n Maintenance-free since there are no moving parts.n Minimum dead volume, highly suitable for capillary columns.




41/49

How Live switching functions

Pressures and flows are important

Two columns are connected in series, and a pres-

sure of P1 is connected to the beginning. Atmo-

spheric pressure is present at the end. The pres -

sure distribution and flows are then as shown onthe left.

Conclusion:

In the straight operating mode shown here, the

pressure P2 is present in the middle between the

two columns.

NOTE:

In reality, the pressure drops are not linear, they are

curved.

Time for reflection

The pressure P2 read on the Y-axis in the above

figure is now applied between the two columns.

The input of the first column is left open. This re -

sults in a pressure distribution and flows as shown

on the left.

Conclusion:

Backflushing is now being carried out in the first

column.

What we don't know yet ...

If we wish to prevent a specific peak from disappearing into the second column once it has passedthrough the first column, we need an outlet betwwen the columns (cut outlet). And we need a connec-tion for he pressure P2 from the reflection above. The solution is the live T-piece.

The two columns are connected via the coupling capillary in the Live T-piece (red in the right image be-

low). Because this coupling capillary has a flow resistance, we have to recognize two pres sures now:

P2 after the coupling capillary and P3 before the coupling capillary. In the Straightmode everything re -

mains like mentioned above at Pressures and flows are important. Just P3 has been added.

42/49

And now the cutWe set P3 a bit lower than P2. The result is shown

on the left. The components are flushed into open

air as soon as they leave the first column.

Because the pressure on the left hand side of the

coupling capillary is lower than the pressure at the

right hand side, all the gas from the first column is

forced to leave via the cut outlet!

If it really were that simple ...

... then we would be finished. Why does live switching therefore have to the adjusted? This we have

done for you already in the factory. But it may be helpful for you, to understand the procedure anyhow:

The live T-piece has 6 connections, of which the three right ones can be outputs. This means that a

peak can be divided simultaneously amongst up to three outputs. And we can do without that!

So we will inject a test mixture and monitor the detector signals at the three outlets. Then we have todecide, how to change the pressures P2 and P3, to get clear flow conditions forStraightand Cut:

Straight

Everything from the first column must enter thecoupling capillary, and everything from the coupling

capillary must enter the second column. This func-

tions reliably if the "red" flow is supplemented by

the flows of the auxiliary inlets P2 and P3. The

flow direction in the coupling capillary is from left to

right.

Cut

Everything from the first column must pass on tothe cut outlet. This functions reliably if the "red"

flow is supplemented by a sufficient flow of the

auxiliary inlet P2. P2 also supplies the second col -

umn. The flow direction in the coupling capillary is

now inverted from right to left.

The flow P3 decreases automatically.

Backflush

Backflushing functions exactly as described previously underTime for reflection. The position in which

the live T-piece is currently being operated is irrelevant.
