EMC Considerations

Industry Canada Statement

Your Honeywell Analytics continuous gas monitor has been designed to comply with applicable Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards at the time of manufacture. The design includes filtering, shielding and bypassing techniques. At the time of certification, simulated customer Input/ Output (I/O) schemes were tested.
All methods used in your equipment for emission suppression and reduction of susceptibility are interactive. Modifications to the monitor could result in increased emissions and higher vulnerability to other radiated fields.
Following the guidelines in this EMC Considerations section will ensure your monitor maintains the highest degree of EMC integrity. The guidelines listed apply only to I/O emissions and do not apply to A.C. and D.C. monitor power connections.

This device complies with Industry Canada licenceexempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.

FCC Compliance Statement

CAUTION: Changes or modifications
not expressly approved could void your authority to use this equipment

Cabling
At a very minimum, all cables should include a braided shield. Ideal results have been obtained with twisted pair cabling which has a foil shield surrounding each pair plus foil and 90% braid shielding around the bundle. In addition, ensure local electrical code requirements are met.
The following cable parameters must be considered:

Braid Foil

Must have a minimum 90% coverage
When used with braid, provides 100% coverage

Twisted Pair
Stranded Pair
Shield Termination

Do not use foil alone. It has a tendency to break.
Provides for cancelling of magnetic fields
Provides the greatest surface area
Continuation of the shield to the cabinet earth ground is most important. For discrete wire terminations, pigtails to the cabinet (connector) ground should be extremely short (absolutely no greater than three inches). For multiconductor connector terminations, only 360° shielded shells should be used.

Note:
Honeywell Analytics product testing uses >90% braid with foil (around the bundle); twisted pair; stranded 24 AWG (minimum wiring for all qualification and certification testing.)
Connectors
All qualification and certification of Honeywell Analytics products were achieved with high quality connectors, providing 360° shield coverage. These connectors generally had metal shells.
Failure to properly secure the connector to the equipment will result in high emission levels. Also, poorly constructed or improperly assembled connectors can be a high source of radiated noise and provide a path for external signals into the monitor.

15 Sampling System
Each Analyzer module is a monitoring center for sampling lines from sample locations. As they apply to the Vertex System, the words point, line and location require definition:

The complete sampling and monitoring system consists of the following components:
· Sample lines to all monitored locations
· Flow connections through quick-connect ports in bulkheads on top of unit

· A location is a place to be monitored

· Moving cable and connectors

· Sample atmosphere runs from the location to the Vertex System via a line

· Vacuum pumps

· Each of the 72 sample tubing connections on the Vertex System corresponds to a point. A sample line can be connected directly to a single point or multiple points via a 4-port manifold

· Analyzers incorporating manifolds, Chemcassette® and filters
· Flow controlling proportional valve
· Top exhaust port

The system draws air simultaneously from all locations. Two different types of flow are:
· Transport flow: high-velocity, large-volume air movement through the lines

There are 72 inlets, one for each monitored location. One exhaust port is also located on top of the Vertex cabinet.

· Sample flow:air admitted to the Chemcassette® detection system

The high speed of transport flow allows rapid monitoring and response time when using long lines from monitored locations to the Vertex System. A small portion of the transport flow (sample flow) is analyzed to determine concentration levels.

VertexTM 72-Point Continuous Monitor

16 Chemcassette® Detection System

Components of the detection system include:

The Chemcassette® Analyzer module is a selfcontained, microprocessor controlled analyzer that occupies one slot in a Vertex tier. Sample lines and the vacuum source are connected to the Chemcassette® via a single 10-tube connector.
The system powers up in the same state as when powered down. Data is stored in the module's memory until the data acquisition computer retrieves it.
The Vertex Analyzer modules use the Honeywell Analytics' Chemcassette® optical detection system. Analyzer modules sample and detect a specific gas or family of gases.
· Each eight-point Analyzer module:

· Chemcassette® detection tape
· Optics and electronics for the detection system
· Chemcassette® tape transport mechanism
· Self adjusting proportional valves
161 Detector Optics
The heart of the Chemcassette® module is an optical detection system that measures a stain that develops on the Chemcassette® tape in the presence of a target gas. Each eight-point Analyzer module has two detection heads, each with four individual detectors.

· Manages Chemcassette® tape transport

· Provides optical detection of stain

· Directs sample flow through the Chemcassette®

· Stores data for retrieval by the data acquisition computer

162 Stain Pattern
The following chart shows the stain pattern of sample detection on the Chemcassette® tape.

Vertex Technical Handbook

1-23

VertexTM 72-Point Continuous Monitor

When monitoring a location, the system detects and measures a specific gas or a family of gases in the sample. The microprocessor in the analyzer module interprets the data and responds appropriately.
In the legacy detection system, the sample enters the inlet and passes through the Chemcassette tape to the sample outlet. The target gas in the sample flow reacts with the tape and produces a stain density proportional to the gas concentration. An LED in the detector head illuminates the sample stain and the detector then optically measures the stain.

Chemcassette tape Sample outlet

Reference detector Surface mount LED Light pipe
Detector Flow Inlet

CLO Detection System

Legacy Detection System

In the Closed Loop Optics (CLO) detection system, a reference detector monitors and controls the intensity of the LED.
The microprocessor in the Chemcassette analyzer module interprets the stain. It then calculates and stores a precise concentration level in the module's memory. Gas concentrations are reported in parts-per-million (ppm), parts-perbillion (ppb) or milligrams-per-cubic-meter (mg/ m3).

163 Chemcassette® Tapes

166 Cooling Fans and Filters

Chemcassette® tapes are tagged with a radio Series 1 Analyzers had two fans and one filter. frequency identification (RFID) tag to automatically All Series 2 analyzers have one fan and no filter. identify the following:

· Serial number

· Gas family/ tape type

· Revision level

· Expiration date of the tape

· Chemcassette® leader parameters

The module uses a leader on the Chemcassette® tape to allow calibration of the optics every time a new tape is installed. This feature can be bypassed.

164 Optional ChemCam

The ChemCam is a small video camera located between the take-up reel and the optic head on the module. It provides a means to observe alarm level stains.1.6.5 Sample Filters

The Chemcassette® module includes three types of filters in the sample flow system. Particulate filters protect the internal precision orifice from dust particles. An acid filter is used on the common line to the pumps. Both types of filters are located in a removable filter block on the side of the Chemcassette® module. An internal particulate filter protects each proportional valve.

VertexTM 72-Point Continuous Monitor

17 Pyrolyzer Module Detection System
The pyrolyzer module is similar to the standard Chemcassette® module except that it detects nitrogen trifluoride (NF3). The sample passes through a high temperature heater (pyrolyzer) which converts the NF3 to hydrogen fluoride (HF). The hydrogen fluoride is then detected with a standard or XPV mineral acids Chemcassette® tape. Detection is identical to the Chemcassette® module.
The correlation algorithm between HF and NF3 is programmed into the module so the monitor displays the NF3 concentration.
The Vertex pyrolyzer module detects NF3 only and cannot be bypassed to detect mineral acids.
The right filter compartment houses eight particulate filters and one acid scrubber, which are identical to the standard Chemcassette® filters. The left filter compartment houses eight charcoal filters which remove the following compounds:

Vertex Technical Handbook

2-1

VertexTM 72-Point Continuous Monitor
21 Introduction
The installation and initial start-up procedure for the Vertex System consists of seven steps, described in this and the following sections:
· 2.2 Surveying the Installation Site · 2.3 Optional Floor Mounting · 2.4 Installing Sample Lines / Filters · 2.5 Installing Pump Exhaust Line · 2.6 Electrical Power · 2.7 Data Acquisition System · 2.8 Wiring Alarm Relays

Vertex Technical Handbook

2-2

VertexTM 72-Point Continuous Monitor

22 Surveying the Installation Site 222 Exposure to Dust and Humidity

A survey of the site helps you make important decisions before installing your Vertex System. Topics in this section assist you with appropriate placement of the Vertex System and in determining if you have special filtering needs at the sampling location.
The site should:
· Be remote from the monitored location, not sharing the atmosphere
· Have sufficient ventilation for cabinet cooling
· Have power available
· Be indoors in an area that is not subject to wide variations in temperature and humidity.
Note:

Exposure to corrosive gases or materials, excess moisture, dust and other unusual environmental conditions could seriously hamper the unit's monitoring ability and could cause damage to it.
Allow room around the Vertex System for ventilation and servicing.
223 Sample Transport Time
Install the Vertex System central to all 72 sample locations to achieve equal sample transport times during monitoring. The shorter the sample line, the shorter the response time. If monitoring a critical location, it may be desirable to place the monitor near that critical area to reduce sample transport time for that location. See Appendix B, Specifications, for transport times.

The specified humidity is 20-65% RH and a temperature between 59°F to 95°F (15°C to 35°C).

224 Monitor Dimensions

Note:
Refer to Appendix A, Installation Drawings for lifting/mounting information.
221 Placement of the Vertex System
Install the Vertex System in an environmentallyprotected setting remote from the manufacturing or storage locations that it monitors.

Monitor dimensions are important factors in monitor placement. The Vertex System is 24 in. (61 cm) wide, 34-1/2 in. (88 cm) deep and 76 in. (193 cm) in height. The system with 9 analyzers weighs about 1000 pounds (454 kg). Allow for 24 in. (61 cm) door swing; 18 in. (44.3 cm) at rear and 5 in. (12.3 cm) on sides. Allow clearance above the monitor for installing sample lines.

You can place the Vertex System up to 400 ft. (122 m) from sample locations.

Vertex Technical Handbook

2-3

VertexTM 72-Point Continuous Monitor

225 Sample Locations

23 Optional Floor Mounting

Before installing the Vertex System, evaluate the sampling locations to determine if excessive dust or moisture are present. An external filter must be used in all locations. Make sure you use the correct filter. Dust may be a result of construction as well as manufacturing activities. Moisture may occur from rain entering a line at an outdoor sampling location or from condensation caused by temperature fluctuations. Water condensation in the sample lines could cause false alarms.

For added protection with optional floor mounts, prepare floor anchors to secure the base of the cabinet and prevent tipping. See Appendix A, Installation Drawings for floor mounting instructions.
24 Installing Sample Lines/ Filters

Note: Variables such as airflow, the molecular weight and temperature of the sample gas, and the physical conditions of the areas being monitored influence the placement of the sampling locations. You may need to consult your company's industrial hygienist or safety officer before installing sample lines to determine your company's policy related to sampling locations and monitoring of the desired sample gas.
226 Sample Line Particulate Filter Use

Use only FEP Teflon® tubing to assure proper sample transport. Other types of tubing are not sufficiently inert. See Appendix B, Specifications, for tube specifications. FEP tubing can be ordered from Honeywell Analytics.
Install sample lines from each location to the top of the Vertex System. This procedure involves:
· 2.4.1 Sample Line Installation Requirements
· 2.4.2 Sample Line Connections

See Appendix B, Specifications, to determine which filter type should be used at the location.

· 2.4.3 Installing Sample Line Particulate Filters

Vertex Technical Handbook

2-4

VertexTM 72-Point Continuous Monitor

Honeywell Analytics supplies FEP grade Teflon tubing with all new monitors. This tubing is manufactured to our own strict specifications,and has been purged of all byproducts of the manufacturing process. On occassion, users have supplied their own FEP type tubing. Should you choose to use your own tubing, be advised that some brands of FEP tubing off-gas small amounts of HF, which can be detected on start up by Honeywell Analytics monitors configured for detecting mineral acids gases (HBr, HCl, HF, NF3). Before enabling building alarm systems, make certain that 1) you have installed the correct Chemcassette®, and 2) your monitor reads zero.
241 Sample Line Installation Requirements
Follow the general requirements listed below when installing sample lines.
· Sample lines should not exceed 400 ft. (122 m) in length.
· Route all lines as direct as possible to improve transport time. See Appendix B, Specifications, for transport times.
· Avoid running sample lines through areas of great temperature extremes, such as adjacent to steam or chiller lines.
· Sample lines should not be crimped, bent to less than a 12 in. (30.5 cm) radius, or placed in an area where weight could collapse

the tubing. Sample lines should be easily accessible for periodic inspection.
· Where possible, leave as many bends exposed for periodic visual inspection of the line for kinked or damaged tubing.
· Check each sample line installation for seal integrity after completing installation of the Vertex System. See Section 3.9, Leak Checking Sample Lines, for the leak check procedure. Also use this procedure to detect leaking or severed tubing after events, such as construction, which may have affected the integrity of the tubing.
· Unused sample line port(s) shouldhavea particulate filter installed to keep the system clean.
· If an analyzer is installed in the Vertex with a Chemcassette tape, the optics may need cleaning before activating a previously unused point(s).

242 Sample Line Connections

Tubing Stop

Correct - Fully Inserted Incorrect - Not Fully Inserted

O-Ring Grey Locking Insert

Each inlet has a quick connect/disconnect fitting with an internal O-ring and an external grab ring. To install a tube into a sample line inlet, insert the tube far enough into the fitting to ensure that the tube has passed through both the external grab ring and the internal O-ring and is firmly seated against the stop. The insertion depth for a correctly installed sampling line is 1/2 in. to 5/8 in. (12 mm -16 mm). Verify the insertion depth by holding the tube and marking with your thumb where it emerges from the fitting. Remove the tube to measure the insertion depth.

Sample Line Inlet Connections
To prepare for installation of sample lines, remove the FEP Teflon tubing from the installation kit. The top of the unit includes 73 connections:

Non-Latching Gas Alarm Relays A latching gas alarm relay activates when a gas concentration reaches a level 1 or level 2 alarm setting. The relay remains activated until an authorized operator resets the alarm. Non-latching gas alarm events clear themselves as soon as the gas concentration drops below the alarm setting.
Inverted Gas Alarm Relays Vertex alarm relays, by default, are normally open (de-energized) when no alarm condition exists. If this option is checked, the alarm relays will be normally closed (energized) when there is no alarm. Fault relays are not affected by this option and are always normally closed (energized) unless a fault condition exists.

All events require User Ack When selected, non-latching alarm events will not be removed from the event list until an authorized user acknowledges the event. Fault and latching alarm events are not affected by this option, since an authorized user must reset these events and a reset also serves as an acknowledgement.

Vertex Technical Handbook

3-13

VertexTM 72-Point Continuous Monitor
Vertex software tracks the amount of Chemcassette® tape remaining on the supply reel and triggers a low tape event when less than 24 hours of tape remain. Choosing "Ignore Low ChemC. Alert" disables the low tape event.

Disabled Alarm Action - Gas Relays Disabled or Full (No Gas Events) This setting effects the operation when alarms are disabled using the Runtime Options screen. If "Full" is selected, Vertex will not generate an alarm event for the affected point(s) and none of the associated actions such as relay actuation will occur. Otherwise, the alarm events will be generated normally when using data output options but, the alarm relays ONLY will not be activated in response to the event. When utilizing data output options, it is highly recommended that "Full" be selected to prevent unnecessary alarms.

1st TWA Time Use to set times for the beginning and end of each 8-hour, Time Weighted Average (TWA) period. Use this option to associate the TWA periods with shifts or any other regular event. The system calculates and displays the TWA after each 8-hour TWA cycle.
The default setting is 04:00 indicating that the Vertex will run three successive TWA periods from 04:00 to 11:59, 12:00 to 19:59, 20:00 to 03:59. Remember, the Vertex System uses a 24-hour clock. For example, to set the first TWA to 3:00 P.M., enter 15:00. If you view the profile information for this example, you will see the TWA End At Time is 07:00/15:00/23:00. The system automatically sets the beginning times of the second and third TWA periods at 8-hour intervals from the time entered for the first TWA period.

Logging Rate The Logging Rate option sets the frequency that Vertex enters gas concentration data into the database.The system logs data at a slow rate unless a gas concentration rises above the threshold set in the point configuration window. Once the concentration reaches the threshold, Vertex logs at a faster rate. Logging period options are 5, 10, 30, 60, or 120 seconds for the slow rate and 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, or 45 seconds for the fast rate. (See Section 3.7.4, Configure Point, for instructions to set logging frequency.)

DB Management Sets the time period to maintain historical event and concentration data before purging. Set the purge period in Database Management to prevent a large number of records to accumulate.

Note:
Setting the Vertex System to continuously log concentration data on a nine-analyzer system requires approximately 35 megabytes of disk storage per day at the fastest logging rate of once every 5 seconds. Purge data often to avoid filling available disk space.

Database Management-Retention Periods Retention periods are selected as either days or weeks. Valid entries for the period are positive numbers from 1-99.Vertex will not recalculate the values when the unit is changed. For example, if the purge period is 14 days and you change "days" to "weeks", Vertex will set the period to 14 weeks. Vertex performs the record purge as the data acquisition computer clock passes midnight.

Event Record Retention Period When selected, Vertex automatically purges events from the database after the designated period.

Lower Detection Limit (LDL) level

When either ChemCam for Level 1 or Level 2 gas is selected, a gas alarm signals the Vertex System to store a picture of the stain the next time it advances the Chemcassette® tape. When the tape advances, the tape stops with the stain under the camera, the ChemCam takes a picture and then advance continues. The ChemCam field of view is only wide enough to capture four points on one picture. See Section 4.5.3, Optional ChemCam, for additional information on ChemCam features and functions.
Note:
· This activity will consume additional tape
· Some faint stains may not be visible via the camera

The monitor loads the default LDL level when a target gas is chosen. See Appendix C - Detectable Gases for a list of default LDL levels. The userconfigured LDL can be disabled by unchecking the checkbox. When the user-configured LDL is disabled, the Vertex system will use the default LDL level. A new level may be entered only within the range of the Vertex detection system.
Make the gas assignments before changing the LDL level. Changing the gas automatically resets LDL level settings to the factory defaults.The Vertex system will not allow invalid or inappropriate entries to be made while setting the LDL level.

3.7.4 Configure Point

These are examples of invalid attempts that will be rejected:

The Configure Point window provides the following options for each point:
· Select the specific target gas · Designate the location of the target gas · Set alarm levels · Enable/disable point · Configure concentration logging · Configure point-specific event help
· Set PLC full-scale concentration

· LDL level setting is greater than half of TLV level
· LDL level setting is smaller than default LDL level
· LDL level setting is greater than alarm 1 setting or alarm 2 setting
· LDL level setting is greater than concentration logging setting level
· LDL level setting is greater than PLC F/S Conc. setting level.

Virtual Reference Function The Virtual Reference option reduces the possibility that a non-gas event will result in a concentration or alarm. When enabled, it maintains a record of specific instrument operation and, in the event of a reading ¼ TLV or above, executes a confirmation before the concentration or alarm is issued. Once confirmed, measurements for the same event will not be affected. See software 1.25.5 release technote for further information.
The Virtual Reference function is user configurable by rack (it is disabled by default). It reduces the possibility that a non-gas event will result in a concentration or alarm. See the following table for the number of windows used and the time to confirm an event.

Fault Relay Count
You may allocate from 2 to 16 relays for fault indicators.
Note:
Set the number of fault relays before setting alarm relay definitions. If you change the number of fault relays, the current relay definitions become invalid and must be redefined.
When you change the number of fault relays, Vertex opens the Fault Relay Definition Change dialog box. Choosing Yes shifts the alarm definitions, choosing No pads the alarm definitions. Choose Cancel to return to the PLC configuration without changing the relay assignments.

Changing the number of fault relays from 16 to 14 moves relay assignment down by 2 positions. Card 5, relay 4 definition moves to card 5, relay 2; card 5, relay 5 moves to card 5 relay 3; card 6, relay 1 moves to card 5, relay 15, etc.
Pad
Padding leaves most alarm relay definitions unchanged. Some existing alarm definitions may be overwritten or undefined relays may become available.
Changing the number of fault relays from 14 to 16 will cause the alarm definitions on card 3, relay 14 and card 3, relay 15 to be overwritten by the fault relay assignments.

Changing the number of fault relays from 14 to 12 will result in two additional (and undefined) alarm relays being available at card 3 relays 12 and 13. Existing relay definitions are not moved.

Shift

Alarm relay definitions move down to fill the space created by fewer fault relays or move up to accommodate the additional fault relays.

Changing the number of fault relays from 14 to 16 will cause the alarm relay assignments to move two relays up. Card 5, relay 2 definition moves to card 5, relay 4; card 5, relay 3 moves to card 5 relay 5; card 5 relay 14 moves to card 6, relay 1, etc.

3.10 Leak Checking Sample Lines
Perform a leak check of the sample lines following installation and also whenever a line is changed or moved. The leak check procedure involves plugging the end of the sample line and verifying that there is no flow through the line. To perform a leak check:
1. Put the affected Analyzer in Idle mode. 2. Choose Main Screen, Menu, Service,
Authorized Service. 3. Select Analyzer. 4. Press pump on. 5. Securely plug the end of the sample line
being tested.

vacuum conditions of steps 6 and 7 indicates either a leak in the sample line or a faulty sample inlet connection.
To troubleshoot the condition, disconnect the sample line at the inlet port at the top of the Vertex cabinet. Securely plug the inlet port and repeat the above leak check procedure.
If the sample point passes the test with the top port plugged, the leak is somewhere in the sample line and the line must be replaced. If the sample point fails the leak check procedure with the top inlet port plugged, contact Honeywell Analytics for assistance.

6. Verify that the flow rate for the test line drops
to zero. See Flow (cc/min) on page 3-45. 3.11 Reconfigure

7. Verify that the sample Point Vacuum equals the Supply Vacuum within a tolerance of +/0.5 inches Hg (see Point Vacuum (in Hg)) on page 3-45.

The modular design of the Vertex allows limited reconfiguration. All wiring and tubing is in place behind unpopulated slots. To add modules:

8. Verify that the sample flow is less than 20cc.
9. After testing all points on the selected analyzer, press pump off.
Note:
You must touch the Pumps On button even if the pumps are operating. Touching Pumps On turns on the solenoid valve to provide vacuum to the analyzer.

1. Remove filler panel.
2. Install new analyzer. (See Section 5.4, Replacing an Analyzer.)
3. Configure new analyzer. (See Section 3.7, Configuration Utility.)
4. Load tape. (See Section 3.8, Load Tape.)

465 Service
The Service Window provides a means to trigger the fault and alarm relays.

Create Fault Now The Create Fault Now button will only become visible after an analyzer and fault level are selected. Touch the button to generate simulated fault.

Fault Test - Use the Fault Test to verify operation of fault relays.
Note:
The fault test simulates an actual fault condition and the Vertex System activates fault relays. Notify appropriate personnel that you plan to conduct a fault test.
To conduct a fault test:
1. Choose Main Screen, Menu, Service and then Fault Test.

2. Choose the analyzer for the fault test.
3. Choose either Instrument Fault or Maintenance Fault.
4. Choose Create Fault Now to activate the relay or relays connected to the selected analyzer and a fault will appear in the event list.
5. To continue testing, repeat steps 2 through 4.
See Section 4.5.4 Event List to clear events.

Vertex Technical Handbook

4-47

VertexTM 72-Point Continuous Monitor

Alarm Test - Use the alarm test to simulate a gas concentration for any analyzer.
Note:
The alarm test simulates an actual alarm condition and the Vertex System activates all alarm relays. Notify appropriate personnel that you plan to conduct an alarm test.
To conduct an alarm test:
1. Choose Main Screen, Menu, Service and then Alarm Test.
2. Choose the analyzer and point for the alarm test.

3. Choose an alarm level and a simulation scope. Either scope will cause an alarm to be reported on the control network, on the relays (if equipped) and on the relevant OPC tag. Furthermore, either scope will cause creation of a simulated alarm event in the event list.
4. However if Full Simulation With Concentration is selected then a gas concentration will also be reported on the control network, on the associated OPC tag, on the point detail screen, and in the event. This concentration will correspond to the alarm 1 or 2 threshold concentration, depending on which is simulated.The alarm threshold concentration

Vertex Technical Handbook

4-48

VertexTM 72-Point Continuous Monitor
is set via the configuration utility as described in Section 3.7.4 Configure Point. The Create Alarm Now button becomes visible only after the prerequisite selections of analyzer, point and alarm level have been made. Pressing the Create Alarm Now button creates the simulated alarm. The above screen contains examples of how alarm simulation works. A concentration of 50 ppb is being reported over the control network and OPC on point 2-2-3. The value 50 ppb is the alarm 2 threshold for this point from the configuration profile. However no concentration is being reported for 2-2-5 because the scope was set to Event And Relays Only when this event was generated. Pressing the Create Alarm Now button above will create a level 2 alarm with concentrations on point 2-2-4.
5. To continue testing, repeat steps 2 and 3.
If you choose to simulate a Level 2 alarm, you will trigger both Level 1 and 2 relays.
See Section 4.5.4 Event List to clear events.

466 Security Access

Access to Vertex functions is by a permission list which is stored in a user account. Only users authorized access to Security Setup may create or change user accounts. The system administrator assigns permission to Security Window and other protected functions by using the Security Setup menu.

The Vertex System comes pre-programmed with two user accounts: default user and a system administrator account. The system administrator account will have both User ID and Password set to "ADMIN".

To create or edit a user account:
1. Touch Main Screen, Project and then Login. Enter your user name and password.
2. Touch Main Screen, Menu and then Security.

Note:
You must have been previously assigned access to the security setup menu.
3. Enter a new name or select an existing name. 4. Select the permission codes (see list below)

Vertex Technical Handbook

4-51

VertexTM 72-Point Continuous Monitor

to assign to the user account. Both the user account and code lists display. Bit P has no effect.
5. Enter SECURITYTRIG in the Login Macro text box.
6. Choose Prev or Next to move to other names on the Account list.
7. Choose Close when finished.

However, for thorough protection against errors by personnel who are only authorized to install Chemcassettes®, many of the permission bits must be set to "No". Specifically, bits A. E, F, I, J, L and 0 bits set to "No" and bit "B" must be set to "Yes". The TAPECHANGER account on the previous page is an example of this.
Permission Codes

Note:
If SECURITYTRIG is not entered in the Login Macro text box, the Vertex software will not update access privileges when the Security Window closes.
The administrator can set up multiple accounts which allows less-trained personnel to install Chemcassette cartridges without knowing the system administrator password. This prevents monitoring from being disabled for significant periods of time or changes (accidental or unauthorized) being made to the monitor. Provide only the minimum access necessary to each user.

Unfortunately, Chemcassette® installation inherently requires interrupting monitoring and requires human intervention. The Vertex can be set up to issue a fault if this intervention is not performed promptly. For more information see the "Az Out of Mon" timer in Section 3.7.

61 Introduction

This chapter helps you determine the source of Vertex System fault or failure and provides you with a corrective action. There are three general indications that service or maintenance is necessary:
· General failure to operate properly (See Section 6.2, General System Problems)

Also included in this chapter are information events which are records of non-fault activities that may aid in troubleshooting (See Section 6.5, Information Events). Information events include:
· Maintenance activities
· Alarm simulations

· Maintenance faults (See Section 6.3, Maintenance Faults)
· Instrument faults (See Section 6.4, Instrument Faults)
Maintenance and instrument faults are Vertex System self-diagnostic messages. They alert you to operation abnormalities by displaying a message with a brief description. The Vertex System also stores the faults in the event history list.

· User log in and log out
· Configuration changes
If a fault or failure does not appear in the troubleshooting chart, or if you require further assistance, call Honeywell Analytics Service. Provide the maintenance or instrument fault code number when calling.
In the event of a DAq failure See Section 6.6, Manual Analyzer Override

Events that could cause these symptoms include AC power surges or sags and improper shutdowns of the DAq that result in file corruption. As a result, future attempts to access these files can slow down the response of the DAq. To confirm a non-responsive DAq as opposed to frozen/lockedup, check the clock located in the upper right hand corner of the Vertex HMI window (shown in Figure 6-2). If the clock is still advancing, then the DAq CPU is not frozen/locked-up and your local Authorized Service Center needs to be contacted for assistance.

Figure 6-2 ­ Vertex HMI Clock
On occasions, there may be the need to install a new Chemcassette® to continue monitoring your facility, or to reset alarms or faults. If the DAq is not responding, these tasks can be performed using the "Manual Override" button. An extra step may be required to "force" activation of the "Manual Override" button under the above mentioned conditions if the DAq computer is still communicating with the analyzers. The following instructions will instruct you on how to accomplish this task:

B.2 Filter Compatibility
The following table shows sample filter requirements.
If you are monitoring non-corrosive target gases, use filter type A, (P/N 780248), a sample line dust/ particulate filter.
For monitoring corrosive gases, such as chlorine (Cl2), hydrogen fluoride (HF), hydrogen chloride (HCl), and hydrogen bromide (HBr), sample lines in a dusty environment or for outdoors, use filter type B, (P/N 1830-0055), or type C, (P/N 1991-0147) filter assembly for corrosive gases. The Teflon membrane particulate filter is designed to prevent dust and dirt greater than one micron from entering the sample line. Unlike standard particulate filters, it does not exhibit sample loss with corrosive monitoring.
The one micron Teflon membrane contained in the Filter B housing (P/N 0235-1072, 100 per pack) should be replaced every 30 days.
Filters have an arrow on the side of the filter pointing in the direction of airflow toward the Vertex system. Replacement of filters is site dependent.

C1 Detectable Gases
Vertex System Chemcassette® analyzers are continuous monitoring instruments. The initial analysis period listed in Table C-1 varies based on the programmed alarm levels. This period is valid only after the system pulls a new Chemcassette® window. Increasing the programmed alarm levels will decrease the initial sample period.

For accurate detection, gas must be present at sufficient levels and durations. Typical response times are shown in this table at 2 TLV, which will vary in duration depending on the target gas and alarm level settings. For high concentrations (greater than full scale) a minimum of 4 seconds is required.

(1) Connecting surge suppressors across your external load will extend the life of SLC 500 relay contacts. For recommended surge suppressor when switching AC inductive loads, consult the SLC 500 Modular Hardware Style Installation and Operation User Manual (Publication 1747-6.2) or the SLC 500 Fixed Hardware Style Installation and Operation User Manual (Publication 1747-6.2.1). Recommended surge suppression for switching 24 VDC inductive loads is a 1N4004 diode reverse wired across the load.

(2) The continuous current per module must be limited so the module power does not exceed 1440 VA.

(3) For DC voltage applications, the make/break ampere rating for relay contacts can be determined by dividing the 28 VA by the applied DC voltage. For example, 28 VA / 48 VDC = 0.58A. For DC voltage applications less than 14V, the make/break ratings for relay contacts cannot exceed 2A. RTB = Removable Terminal Block.

F2 OLE for Process Control (OPC) F21 Setting Up an OPC Client

Interface

Application

The Vertex monitor's primary method of alarm and fault annunciation relies on the Allen Bradley SLC500 PLC system installed in the base enclosure using optional fieldbusses or contact closure.

To request data from RSView32 your OPC Client application will need to include the following information. More information on OPC and client application is available at www.opcfoundation.org.

A secondary method for annunciation and data access is available via the Ethernet network port on the Vertex Data Acquisition System using OPC. Concentration data as well as alarm and fault status are available through this interface. The OPC drivers are automatically initialized at startup of the RSView32 application enabling the Vertex to act as an OPC Server. The user may connect to the Network interface Cards RJ45 Port at the rear of the data Acquisition System See Section 1.2.10, Data Acquisition Computer (rear).

Server
Type
Server Computer Name or Address

RSI.RSView32OPCTagServer Local Enter the Computer Name of the Vertex Data acquisition PC from Settings, Control Panel, System, Network Identification.
Typically: Vertex_291-####, with the # being the 4 digit serial number.

CAUTION
System display and operator control is through an on-screen keyboard or an optional external keyboard. OPC via Ethernet is not recommended for the primary safety system notification.
CAUTION
Tunnel OPC communication outside the Vertex rack using secure software such as KepWare OPC Connectivity Suite or Matrikon OPC Tunneller. OPC communication among Microsoft Windows computers is not highly resistant to cyberattack.

F3 Data Values Common to Fieldbus Networks
All six optional fieldbus networks report alarm, fault and concentration information.

F32 Concentrations
Finally, the concentration information is reported as one 16-bit word for each point as shown in Table F-4.

F31 Alarms and Faults
The alarm status of each point is reported as a single byte. The meaning of that byte is as listed in Table F-3. Similarly, the fault status of each analyzer is reported as a single byte.The meaning of the fault byte is listed in Table F-3.

Table F-4: Interpretation of Concentration Values

Fault status can be superimposed over the concentration information in a manner similar to legacy 4-20 mA analog outputs. -- the output will drop below nominal if an instrument fault exists. However, indication of faults via the concentration output is disabled by default. It can be turned on in the configuration profile as shown in Figure F-1 below. For details see Section 3.7 Configuration Utility.

Figure F-1

VertexTM 72-Point Continuous Monitor

If the concentration is non-zero and a fault exists, the concentration value will take priority and be reported. It is not possible to detect the existence of maintenance faults from the concentration outputs.
Unlike previous Honeywell Analytics products, the full-scale value of the concentration output is not equal to the full scale value of the gas table by default. Instead the full scale (31206 count) level defaults to twice the threshold limit value (TLV). Therefore an output of 12482 counts corresponds to a gas concentration of 0.5 TLV and 18723 counts corresponds to 1.0 TLV by default. This can be altered by editing the configuration profile as shown in Figure F-2.

to get actual concentration. The concentration is available through the highly-reliable fieldbus for those customers who wish to make shutdown decisions based on concentrations instead of alarm levels.
F33 Heartbeat
A heartbeat counter is provided with some of the fieldbusses in word 40. This increments every second to confirm that the internal PLC is running and that communications is working. External equipment communicating with the Vertex via Ethernet/CIP, LonWorks or Profibus must verify that this value is changing to be certain that the PLC is operating.

Each optional fieldbus interface is implemented using commercial communications modules connected to the internal PLC. In the Vertex the modules function as slaves only, although the hardware may be capable of acting as scanners or masters when installed elsewhere.

Figure F-2
For more information on the configuration profile see Section 3.7.4 Configure Point.

If the concentration data is to be used only for visualization and datalogging, it may be more convenient to capture this information through OPC (See F.2 OLE for Process Control (OPC) Interface). This avoids the requirement of scaling the value

F4 Data Map
Five of the optional fieldbusses (all except LonWorks) report the status of the Vertex in the same 122 word (244 byte) format which is listed in Table F-5. If concentration information is not needed, only the first 41 words must be read. This significantly reduces the consumption of scanner memory. For Ethernet/CIP, see Table F-8.

F.5 Profibus Option (P/N 1295-0275)

Profibus is a vendor-independent, open fieldbus standard for a wide range of applications in manufacturing and process automation. Vendor independence and openness are ensured by the international standards EN 50170, EN 50254 and IEC 61158. Profibus allows communication between devices of different manufacturers without any special interface adjustment. Profibus can be used for both high-speed time critical applications and complex communication tasks. Use of special Profibus media is required.
For more information about Profibus, see www. profibus.com. Technical information on the Woodhead Connectivity / SST model
SST-PFB-SLC module which is used in the Vertex is available from

The data map used by the Profibus interface is shown in Table F-5. The interpretation of the data is in Tables F-3 and F-4. The network management tool will need a .GSE file to describe every slave on the network.The vertex.gse file can be copied from any Vertex at c:\hmi\Profibus\vertex.gse.
F51 Termination
The Profibus adapter PCB assembly shown in Figure F-3 facilitates using standard large Profibus connectors without creating mechanical interferences with the back panel of the Vertex rack. Additionally, this functions as a Profibus terminator if JP1 through JP3 are shorted. If termination is not desired then JP1 through JP3 should be cut as shown. This is Honeywell Analytics part number 1295A0372.

F.12.1 Configuring the IP Address
The IP address of this interface is set using a procedure similar to that listed in Section F.11. The file "WATTCP.CFG" is modified with Notepad and downloaded with HyperTerminal.
Notes
1. Honeywell strongly recommends that any gas detection network which is connected to the Internet be protected from unauthorized access by a firewall.
2. Honeywell recommends that a gas detection Ethernet network be separated from a generalpurpose computer networks by a switch. This is because the transmission time of Ethernet networks is non-deterministic and can become large if the network is heavily loaded.
3. When the interface is correctly installed in the PLC backplane the "BP ACT" light will glow steady amber. The "OK" light will glow steady green.
4. The "LINK" indicator will glow steady green when a valid physical-layer connection is established to an Ethernet switch.
5. An external computer can confirm that the interface is set to the correct IP address by use of the "ping" command.
6. The MVI46-DFNT contains a second configuration file named "DFNT.CFG". If the module was purchased from Honeywell, this file will be preloaded. Otherwise, the file

provided in "C:\hmi\FieldbusFiles" must be loaded.
7. The 122 words of Vertex status which are listed in Table F-5 may be viewed on the diagnostic port. These are mapped as registers 0 to 121 in the ProSoft database. Instructions on viewing the ProSoft database are in chapter 6 of the ProSoft User Manual.
8. If desired, Allen-Bradley RSLinx software may be used to communicate with the MVI46DFNT. This is explained in Appendix E of the ProSoft User Manual.

VertexTM 72-Point Continuous Monitor

Add Rockwell License Files to the Rack (Factory Talk activation method)
The Rockwell Factory Talk activation method consists of a host ID device that contains the license file locked to that particular host device's MAC address and the Factory Talk Activation Tool software running on the rack computer. Factory Talk and Master Disc activations can be mixed on a Vertex rack. The advantage to this system is that the host device with the associated file is a standalone RSView activation system that can be used on any computer running that software. In case of a computer swap, no license moving is required; just plug the host device into the new computer.

Method 1
If the Vertex has access to the internet, use the Factory Talk Activation Tool already installed on the rack computer.
a. Shut down all Rockwell applications as described previously.
b. Start the Factory Talk Activation Tool from the desktop icon or navigate to the tool: Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software > Factory Talk Activation > Factory Talk Activation Tool
c. On the Get Activations tab, click the button for Open Activation Wizard.

If the Vertex Rack already uses Factory Talk Activation
The Factory Talk Activation Tool software will already be installed on the Vertex rack and configured to look for the Rockwell licenses on the connected host device (removable drive E:). The new software's license file must be generated and locked to that same host device. The Active Display software package will come with a certificate that contains the software serial number and product key required to complete the activation. Three methods are available to complete the activation:

d. Click Next on the welcome screen, then on the Path Selection screen. The recommended path will be on the hard drive. Leave this as the default so the file will be stored on the hard drive as a backup. Click Next.
e. Enter the serial number and product key into the appropriate fields.
f. Select the number of activations to download (one per serial number), click Next.
g. Select the I need product activation for this computer radio button. Click Next.
h. Choose the host ID that matches the MAC address of the host device on the rear of the

rack computer (the description will be similar to "Realtek RTL8150 USB 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter #x". Click Next.
i. Verify the information on the confirm screen and click Next.
j. On the following screen, note the file name and location that the file is stored, browse to that directory, then copy the file to the memory of the host device (right click the file, select Send to, then select Removeable disk E).
Method 2

If installing multiple floating clients on a single
rack, click the + sign on the left end of the line,
then enter the serial number and product key of the additional license. Click Next.
d. A table will then show how many activations are available for each license. This will typically be 1, so select 1 from the dropdown box for each licence to download. Click Next.
e. Download the activation file from the next screen and transfer it to the root directory of the memory portion of the USB device installed on the rear of the rack computer.

If the Vertex is not connected to the internet, use a computer to generate an activation file and copy it to the host device on the Vertex. Go to the site:
activate.rockwellautomation.com/Default.aspx.
a. Click the Get New Activations link to activate without installing Factory Talk Activation Manager.
b. Select Download activations to this computer and click Next.
c. For host ID type, select Network MAC Address. Enter the MAC address found on the bottom of the USB host device on the rear of the rack computer. Enter the serial number and product key from the software certificate.

Method 3
Phone 1-440-646-3434, select Option 3 (Technical Support), select Option 1 (Direct Dial), select Option 1 again and enter the threedigit code 010. Have the serial number and product key from the certificate and the MAC address from the sticker on the bottom of the the host device ready. Tell the customer service representative (CSR) you need to activate RSview software. The CSR will create the file and email it to you and then guide you through the activation steps.

If the Vertex Rack does not currently use Factory Talk Activation:

6. Check the box with Browse for activations on start-up.

The Factory Talk Activation Tool software must be installed on the Vertex rack and configured. A host device must also be purchased to host the license. The Factory Talk Activation Tool is on the same CD as the software in the FactoryTalk_ Activation_3.02 directory.

7. Click the Start button to open the activation server.
8. Continue with either of the activation methods to activate the new software.

1. Double click the setup.exe file in that directory and follow the directions. (Do not install the HASP dongle drivers.)
2. After installation, plug the Host device into the rack computer and install the drivers (The drivers are stored within the device itself.)

Configure DCOM on Rack
Successful operation of a remote Vertex display requires numerous changes to the Windows operating system using the dcomcnfg program. This is started as shown in Figure F-18.

3. Start the Factory Talk Activation Tool from the desktop icon or navigate to it from the Start menu:

Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software > Factory Talk Activation > Factory Talk Activation Tool

4. On the Settings tab, click the + sign above

G Line Integrity Test Option

Vertex Technical Handbook

G-1

VertexTM 72-Point Continuous Monitor

Honeywell Analytics now offers the optional capability to check for leaks in Vertex sample lines. Analyzers equipped with option 1295-0510 detect a pneumatic signal from valves installed at the end of the sample line. Any leak in the tubing will cause a change in the signal and will be detected. This test is performed automatically as a line integrity test (LIT). This new test complements the ability of all Vertex analyzers to detect blocked sample lines.
The Line Integrity Test Option requires a minimum software revision of 1.21.1 and configuration of analyzer software by a Honeywell Analytics Field Service Engineer.

characterization process, the Vertex records the observed sample pressure. Later LIT tests will issue a fault if the sample pressure increases significantly. Performing the characterization without a leak check invalidates the LIT.
Note :
In this document all pressures are given in inches of mercury. This may be converted to kilopascals by multiplying by 3.38. Furthermore, all pressures are reported as gauge pressure, not as vacuum. Using this nomenclature, the effect of a sample line leak is described as a pressure increase instead of a vacuum decrease.

Pneumatic Overview

The pneumatic design of the Vertex rack is summarized in Figure 1. The Vertex analyzer contains eight sample pressure transducers, one for each point. The external tubing is terminated with a filter and a check valve. The check valve will not permit any flow until a "cracking" pressure of about 1.0 in. Hg is applied. (see Note 1) A leak between the analyzer and the check valve will result in an increase in pressure at the analyzer.

Before the LIT test can be performed, the Vertex and the external plumbing must be "characterized". This process involves measuring the sample pressure when the tubes are known to be leak-free and otherwise correct. It is possible to confirm that a tube is leak-free by plugging the end and observing the sample flow decrease to zero. During the

Vertex Technical Handbook

G-2

VertexTM 72-Point Continuous Monitor

because of synchronization delays.

The test is not compatible with shared sample lines.

The use of external filters is mandatory with Vertex LIT as it is with all Vertex points. Appendix B, Specification, Section B.2 Filter Compatibility contains guidance on filter selection.

Quantitative Performance

The pressure at the pump inlet must be less than 7.0 in Hg or the test will be inhibited. The sample line must be 4.8 mm ID [thin wall or 0.190 inch ID] and have a length of 90 meters or less. This supersedes table B-2 in Appendix B, Specifications.

Figure G-1 -- Simplified Pneumatic Schematic
In practice, the sample pressure measurements are made as a differential measurement with the pump on and then off. This eliminates the effect of any transducer offset. However, since analyzers share a pump, performing the LIT requires that all analyzers stop monitoring. Pressures throughout the Vertex are allowed to stabilize for 30 seconds before taking any measurements. An LIT causes monitoring to be interrupted for about two minutes

The total gas flow (transport plus sample) is typically 1.3 liters per minute per point. This results in a differential pressure of about 1.2 in. Hg with the maximum tubing length. The check valve increases the differential pressure by an additional 1.0 in. Hg for a total of about 2.2 in Hg.
During characterization the differential pressure must be 0.8 in. Hg or more or a fault will be issued. During LI testing the differential pressure must be at least 70% of the characterization differential pressure or more or a fault will be issued. Leaks of 1 mm [0.039 inch] diameter or larger will cause a substantial decrease in the differential pressure and the generation of a fault.

Vertex Technical Handbook

G-3

VertexTM 72-Point Continuous Monitor

The LIT measurement requires that the total pressure variance of the sampled point, the Vertex rack and the exhaust outlet must be less than 0.3 in. Hg. for correct operation (see Figure G-1).

Examples include tubes longer than 90m, mediumwalled tubing, and shared sample lines.

Software Overview

Automatic LI tests can be scheduled to take place at any of the times when a time weighted average (TWA) is recorded. TWAs are recorded every eight hours so that up to three LI tests can be performed per day. As with previous software, the time of the TWA can be shifted up to eight hours so that the LI test time can be any time of day. The LI test can be disabled on a per-point basis to permit a rack with LIT to have some tube configurations that are incompatible with LIT.
Buttons are provided to start an LI characterization or an unscheduled test. These two buttons are on the RS View "Authorized Service" screen.
Accessing LIT Parameters
A checkbox on the Configure Point screen as highlighted by the red rectangle in Figure G-2, enables the selected analyzer to participate in the LIT. By default, all analyzers purchased with this option will participate. Clearing this checkmark removes the analyzer from the LIT and prevents the generation of LIT-related faults for the associated point. Otherwise, nuisance faults may be generated for points with incompatible external components.

Figure G-2 -- LIT Access
Pressing the "Line Integrity Test' button shown in Figure G-3 causes the form shown in Figure G-4 to appear.
The three times displayed on the left of the new tabsheet indicate the TWA times. (TWA times are set on Data Logging tabsheet.)
The checkbox and labels on the right of the new page will become black if any of the left-side checkboxes are checked. Otherwise the right-side items will become gray.
The checkmark itself indicates the status of the point-specific checkboxes shown in Figure G-2. If the point-specific LIT checkboxes are all set, this

checkmark will be set.

Figure 3 -- Configuration Editor New Button

LIT Access from RSView

RSView has two buttons.

1. Two buttons in the Authorized Service screen as shown in Figure G-5. When the associated analyzer is in Monitor mode this will appear as shown in Figure G-6.
Access to the Authorized Service screen is restricted to RSView users with the "E" permission code turned on for their account. For RSView permission codes, see Section 4.6.6 Security Access.

Figure G-5 -- LIT Access from Authorized Service Mode

Figure G-6 -- LIT Access from Monitor Mode G-5

VertexTM 72-Point Continuous Monitor

Figure 4 -- Configuration Editor New Page

Pressing the "Record Known Good LITC" button will cause a characterization to be performed on all analyzers in the rack. Similarly, pressing the "Line Integrity Test" button will cause a line integrity test to be performed immediately. This is in addition to the LITs which are scheduled by the checkboxes in Figure 4.
During a LIT test or characterization, the RSView analyzer status display will change from "MONT" or "IDLE" to "LIT"
LIT Related Events
The Vertex is capable of creating four Maintenance Faults 122 through 125 as shown in Table 6-7: Maintenance Faults.

If the LIT generates Event 124, care must be taken to inspect the integrity of the sample line tubing along its length as the monitored sample may be taken from the break in the tubing, not from the intended area.
The Vertex is also capable of five new informational events as listed in Table 6-9: Information Events.
Note :
If additional or replacement Vertex Analyzers are purchased without specifying the LIT option, no faults will be generated for the lack of the option in the new analyzer. However, an "INFO" message will be logged in the Event History each time the LIT option is invoked. Existing analyzers configured for LIT will be unaffected.
