Stack Identification:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Mounting Flange:    

I will supply my own 4-inch flanges for the Standard Installation       

 

I wish to use something other than 4-inch flanges (describe below)  

 

 

 

3. Mounting Tube Length:    

 

The typical length of the mounting tube is between 2 inches and 8 inches in length including the flanges and adapters. If the process to be measured is 500°F or above, we recommend using a Mounting Tube Length of 6 inches.  Let us know the length in one of the following units.

 

 

4. Stack or Duct Dimension at Installation Port Location:    

Small diameter stacks may require an optional LIGHT TRAP, which is a device that prevents laser energy

 reflecting off the far stack wall opposite the Optical Head from being reflected into the viewing optics.

A LIGHT TRAP is generally required only for stack diameters less than 6.5 feet (2 meters), but may be necessary

at great diameters based on mounting tube length, particulate mass range and other factors.

 

 

5. Temperature of the Process to be Measured:    

Range:  
Typical:

 

 

 

6. Process Static Pressure:

10. Correction to Standard Conditions:     I do NOT want this option

Some sites may wish to correct the Particulate measurement to Standard Conditions by measuring the process temperature and pressure. The LaserHawk 360 can mathematically correct for temperature and pressure if they are supplied as inputs to the monitor. If you want this option, let us know where you want to locate the input module:

 

At the Stack or Duct location.

 

In the Control room or where I plan on locating the Enhanced Remote Panel.

 

 

10.1 Barometric Pressure Transducer Options

How to complete the LaserHawk360 Installation Checklist

 

A lot of selections can be easily changed at your site, but most of this information is required for TML to configure and calibrate the monitor.

 

1.    CUSTOMER Contact Information

 

Fill out your name, phone number, email address and other information. The Stack Identification should be the name of the stack or duct that the monitor will be on. Some sites may have a name such as "Boiler1" others may have names such as "West Stack" or a more descriptive name of the process.

 

2.    MOUNTING FLANGES (not typically provided)

 

The Standard mounting flanges are 4" 150lb ANSI flanges and are to be supplied by the customer. The flanges are welded or screwed onto 4" Schedule 40 pipe that is also customer supplied. The length of this pipe should be kept to a minimum and the factory should be consulted if it exceeds 8" in length (see drawing 1820-0013).

 

If you are adapting to an EXISTING flange or using mounting pipes other than 4" Schedule 40, select Other and provide the flange size, bolt circle diameter, and orientation of holes consult the TML factory if help is needed. Adapter Plates are available.

 

3.    MOUNTING TUBE LENGTH

 

The typical length of the mounting tube is between 2" and 8" in length including the flanges and adapters (refer to drawing 1810-0013). If the process to be measured is 500oF (260oC)or above, we recommend using a Mounting Tube length of 6".

 

4.    STACK DIAMETER OR DUCT WIDTH

 

Record this distance in English or Metric units. This distance is to be measured from the inside of the stack or duct walls with an accuracy of +/- 1%of the distance. If the inside diameter of the stack or duct walls are less than 6.5 feet, then the light from the laser could reflect back from the far wall. This may cause the monitor to read higher values than it should and a LIGHT TRAP may be need to be installed (consult drawing 1810-0014 and 1810-0015).

Small diameter stacks may require an optional LIGHT TRAP, which is a device that prevents laser energy reflecting off the far stack wall opposite the Optical Head from being reflected into the viewing optics. A LIGHT TRAP is generally required only for stack diameters less than 6.5 feet (2 meters), but may be necessary at great diameters based on mounting tube length, particulate mass range and other factors.

5.    TEMPERATURE OF PROCESS TO BE MEASURED

  • Report the maximum and minimum process temperature Range including upset conditions.

  • Report the Typical process temperature under normal operating conditions.

  • Record the temperature in English or Metric units

This information is necessary to ensure that the hardware configuration chosen is adequate for the user's application (high temperature seals, stainless steel nozzles and a heat shield may be required when the temperature exceeds 500oF, 260oC).


6.    PROCESS STATIC PRESSURE

 

Record the process static pressure in INCHES of WATER COLUMN or mm Hg at the monitor installation location. This is the difference in pressure between the process and ambient conditions.

 

This information is necessary to ensure that the hardware configuration chosen is adequate for the user's application (high positive pressure > 5" H2O may require options).

 

7.    MOUNTING CLEARANCES

 

Review the proposed installation locations and reference the TML drawings. Make the appropriate checkmark if sufficient clearances are available. Mark Other and consult the factory if alternatives installation configurations are required.

  • Stack Equipment: Be certain that there is sufficient clearance between the stack mounted equipment and any potential obstructions (i.e.: distance to floor, horizontal distance to catwalk rail). Weather hood is 20"W x 22 1/4" L x 33"H (51 W x 56 L x 84 H cm) . (See drawing 1810-0015).

8.    DATA CABLE LENGTHH

 

DATA CABLE LENGTH Direct Interface Configuration

 

The cost of the cables from the Optical Head to the output or display device has not been included in the base price. TML will provide the cable at additional cost to the customer.

 

The user must determine the length of the data cable measured from the Optical Head to their PLC/DAS or other output device. Minimum recommend conduit size is 1/2". A Direct Interface configuration requires two cables; a non-shielded 4-conductor/20 AWG (ALPHA 66-44) and a 6-shielded pair 24 AWG (ALPHA 6386 / BELDEN 9991). Consult the TML factory for current price and delivery of the data cable.

 

DATA CABLE LENGTH Enhanced Remote Configuration

 

The cost of the cable from the Optical Head to the output or display device has not been included in the base price. TML can provide the cable at additional cost to the customer.

 

The user must determine the length of the data cable measured from the Optical Head to the Enhanced Remote Panel. Minimum recommended conduit size is 1/2". The Enhanced Remote Panel configuration required only a single twisted pair, which is 16 AWG PLTC with shield (ALPHA 5610B1601). Consult the TML factory for current price and delivery of data cable.

 

9.    STACK POWER CIRCUIT CAPACITY (Optical Head)

 

Enter the supply voltage and current capacity of the customer supplied circuits for the STACK equipment. Circuits must meet the following requirements.

 

Stack Equipment: Maximum power draw is:

  • 14 VA single phase of the Optical Head

  • 414 VA single phase for the Purge Blower

A minimum of one 115 VAC single phase, 10 A circuit is required. The customer is to hardwire 115 VAC into the purge motor junction box of the optical Head (See drawing 1810-0012).

 

Customer who choose Option B, Enhanced Remote, must also fill in the Volt and Amp settings for their Remote..


10.    CORRECTION TO STANDARD CONDITIONS

 

Some sites may wish to correct the Particulate measurement to Standard Conditions by measuring the process temperature and pressure. The LaserHawk 360 can mathematically correct for temperature and pressure if they are supplied as inputs to the monitor.

This requires the purchase of a Dual Analog Input Board at additional cost.

 

If you can provide the Elevation above Sea Level, we can calculate a reasonable range of barometric pressure readings. Please note that this different from the Elevation from ground level at your facility.

 

The scaling of the Barometric Pressure transducer is based off your everyday readings. Higher elevations

have lower barometric pressure readings. We do not want the range of readings to be corrected to Sea Level.

 

If you plan on using your own RTD, let us know if you are going to use a 1000 ohm or 100 ohm RTD.

 

11.    INTEGRATION PERIOD

 

The integration period is simply how often the monitor will update its average value. It is usually either a value of One minute or Six minutes.

 

 

12.    SPECIFY FULL SCALE

 

The user's operating permit may require a specific full scale based on the classification of the emission source.

The user's operating permit includes a limit they must operate within (e.g. <95 mg/Am3). We can configure this as an alarm set point in the monitor. This value also helps us determine if the full scale value and sensitivity is calibrated accurately.

  • Many different units can be used. The form lists some of the more common units.

  • Particulate Mass is the actual numerical value used for full scale of the monitor.

  • Let us know if you have a particulate control device. If so, also let us know if the monitor will be BEFORE or AFTER the particulate control device.

  • If we know what kind of particulate control device you have it can help us estimate the sensitivity you will need for your monitor. The two most common are an Electrostatic Precipitator (EP) or a Baghouse.

  • Examples of Fuel Constants are: Bituminous Coal -1800, Lignite = 1910, Oil = 1420 and Natural Gas = 1040.

  • Examples of Fuel Types are Coal, Oil, Natural Gas, Wood, and Municipal Waste.

  • We are asking for the typical CO2 value you have when your process is running under normal operating conditions. The CO2 value will be either a WET or DRY measurement depending if you are getting this value from an Extractive, In-Situ or Dilution system.

13.    USE AUTO CAL SEQUENCE

 

Select YES if the Auto Cal sequence is to be used to collect calibration data. Select NO if the user will be exclusively using External Mode control.

Auto Cal Sequence - The real time clock in the Optical Head determines the start and duration of each phase of the calibration data.

 

14.    USE EXTERNAL MODE CONTROL

 

Select YES if the External Mode control sequence is to be to collect calibration data. Select NO if the user will be exclusively using Auto Cal.

External Mode Control - The user's DAHS, PLS or Data Logger circuits control the start time of a predetermined sequence or manually control individual output modes.


15.    SPECIFY CAL CYCLE OUTPUT TIMES

 

Calibration information is usually provided on Channel 2. The standard auto cal reporting cycle is 120 seconds for: ZERO, UPSCALE (240 seconds total). Select YES to accept the standard 120 seconds per calibration phase. If NO is selected, please specify on the checklist each phase duration you want. Each is independently programmable.

 

Dust Compensation is a value which can help determine if regular maintenance (cleaning of the external optics) may be required.

 

16.    SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONN

 

(Select one) Direct Interface or Enhanced Remote

 

The LaserHawk 360 is available in two basic configurations. The Direct Interface configuration does not have the Enhanced Remote Panel. The Direct INterface requires more wires to be run from the stack or duct. The Enhanced Remote option gives the user more information down at the 'remote' location and offers more inputs and outputs than the Direct Interface. The Enhanced Remote option requires only one cable with two wires to be run from the stack or duct to the Enhanced Remote Panel's location.

 

This is Option A, Direct Interfacee

 

16.1 DIGITAL INPUT SELECTION

 

Two discrete inputs are provided to allow monitor output mode control by user supplied circuits. These optical isolators are activated by either dry contact closures or +5 VDC signal from a user-supplied circuit. These signals are transmitted to the Optical Head via the Data cable

 

This configuration is field selectable and may be modified at the time of instrument start up.

 

TThe following definitions apply to the selection of the External Mode control digital inputs:

 

Force UPSCALE The instrument goes into calibration UPSCALE mode. The calibration mechanism moves to the upscale position. Analog output 1 holds the last stack value read, analog output 2 follows the UPSCALE value.
Force ZERO The instrument goes into calibration ZERO mode. The calibration mechanism moves to the zero position. Analog output 1 holds the last stack value read, analog output 2 follows the ZERO value.
Dump Dust Comp The calibration mechanism moves to NORMAL position. Real time stack data appears on the LED readout and on analog output 1.Analog output 2 follows the DUST COMPENSATION value.
Force Cal Cycle The calibration mechanism moves to ZERO, UPSCALE, DUST COMPENSATION and then back to NORMAL. It remains in each for a configurable period of time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The standard configuration for digital inputs:

 

ISO1 = C - FORCE CAL CYCLE

ISO2 = C - DUMP DUST COMP


16.2 RELAY OUTPUTS

 

The Six Point I/O board uses 2 relays that can be configured to actuate on various output modes or monitor conditions. Select any two from the table below. These functions are set via jumper settings and can be easily modified at the site. Contacts are SPDT Form C. The two relays available can be configured as either Normally Open or Normally Closed via a jumper setting. The standard selections most commonly chosen are "Calibration Data on Analog Outputs" and "Instrument Malfunction". The following table lists the available selections.

 

Calibration Data on Analog Outputs
Instrument Malfunction
Instantaneous Alarm 1 Actuated
Selectable Average Alarm 1 Actuated
UPSCALE Data on Analog Outputs
ZERO Data on Analog Outputs
Purge Failure
Excessive Dust Compensation

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

16.3 CURRENT OUTPUTS

 

The Direct Interface has two analog outputs available. They are isolate from each other and circuit common.

 

Channel 1 is always dedicated to the Instantaneous value and does not carry calibration values. Channel 2 is always Selectable Average with calibration. If an output carries calibration values (Channel 2), the analog output will track the calibration values when it is commanded to go into calibration or when it is scheduled to go into calibration. If the output does not carry calibration values (Channel 1), the analog output will hold the last NORMAL mode value when the monitor is in a calibration mode.

 

Please select the output current configuration you want,4-20 ma or 0 -20 ma. Select only one.. Standard default = 4 -20 ma.

 

End of Option A, Direct Interface Option

 


This is Option B, Enhanced Remote Option

 

16.1 ANALOG OUTPUTS

 

The standard configuration includes:

 

Analog Output 1 Selectable Average Particulate Mass, with cal values
Analog Output 2 Selectable Average Particulate Mass, without cal values
Analog Output 3 ZERO Drift Backscatter
Analog Output 4 Dust Compensation
