INSTRUCTIONS Volumetric Infrared Hydrocarbon Gas Process Monitor for Heavy Hydrocarbons PIRVOLHV APPLICATION PIRVOLHV is a point-type infrared hydrocarbon gas process monitor. It provides a continuous 4-20 milliampere (mA) output signal that is proportional to propane vapor concentrations from 0 to 100% by volume. PIRVOLHV is designed for use in extractive vapor sampling systems where the vapor concentration is likely to be above the lower flammability limit (LFL).

Certification— F M® ® APPROVED For complete approval details for the PIRVOLHV Process Gas Monitor and the PointWatch Termination Box Model PIRTB, refer to the appropriate Appendix: Appendix A - CSA Appendix B - ATEX/CE Appendix C - IECEx WARNING Always ensure that the detector/termination box hazardous (classified) location ratings are applicable for the intended use. DESCRIPTION Detection Method PIRVOLHV operates on the infrared absorption principle.
INSTALLATION The PIRVOLHV is designed to be threaded into a termination box, which is then mounted to a solid, vibration-free wall or post. The use of shielded cable in conduit or shielded armored cable is recommended for optimum RFI/EMI protection. In applications where the wiring cable is installed in conduit, the conduit must not be used for wiring to other electrical equipment. To assure proper operation, the resistance of the connecting wire must be within the specified limits.

Locate the sensor where it will be accessible for maintenance. Excessive heat or vibration can result in premature failure of any electronic device and should be avoided if possible.

The termination box should be electrically connected to earth ground.
STARTUP PROCEDURE TROUBLESHOOTING Refer to Table 2 to isolate and correct malfunctions with the PIRVOLHV. Note Caution should be exercised when applying this and any electronic device to explosive vapor ex traction and measurement applications. Typical hazards in these applications include small fitting vapor leaks, resulting in dangerous gas concentrations near or within the system enclosure. Any spark or arc may result in a fire or explosion in these conditions.
1. Disassembly and Cleaning Procedure The PIRVOLHV should be inspected periodically to ensure that its performance is not impaired by fouled optics or by clogging of the sample draw cup or hydrophobic filter. Inspection and/or periodic maintenance involves three different areas. Remove the sample draw cup from the front of the PIRVOLHV by pulling it straight off the electronics assembly (no tools needed). See Figure 12. 2.

This procedure ensures the signal output level is at 4 mA, and does not require application of span gas.
Table 3—Calibration Sequence Description Current LED Operator Action Normal operation/no gas present 4.0 mA Off Initiate calibration 2.2 mA On steady Initiate the calibration sequence by holding the calibration magnet against the side of the termination box or activating the external calibrate pushbutton for one second. Zero calibration complete 2.0 mA Flashing Re-apply magnet (or activate switch) for one second. Span calibration is not required.
