PN 305200901, Rev YT
Tools, Equipment, and Supplies Required for
Installation
To install the analyzer you need the following tools, equipment, and supplies:
• Set of open-end wrenches for ttings.
• Set of metric hexagonal wrenches.
• Set of ball drivers.
• Wire cutters, strippers, and crimpers.
• Flat blade instrument screwdriver.
• Soft, nonabrasive cloth.
• Wrist strap (for grounding).
• Detergent-based leak detector (Snoop® or another suitable leak detection
agent is permissible).
• Sample Gases
The 3050-OLV is designed to operate on a clean gas stream; specically, the
Sample gas stream must be free of particulates and aerosols. If the 3050-OLV
Analyzer is being used on a clean gas stream (i.e., free from particulates
and aerosols), AMETEK Process Instruments recommends that the analyzer
be installed in accordance with the information provided in the following
sections of this manual. However, if the process gas stream contains, or has
the possibility of containing particulate materials, AMETEK Process Instru-
ments recommends that an inline, 1/8" tube 2μ lter (supplied by AMETEK,
PN203641000) be installed on the Sample In tting at the back of the ana-
lyzer. This lter is ideally suited for this purpose, and will mount directly on
the Sample In tting. While installing this lter will protect the analyzer from
any particulates present in the Sample gas, it will also increase the response
time of the system. This increase in response time is caused by the large
surface area of the lter element.
AMETEK Process Instruments manufactures sample systems for the
3050-OLV analyzer that are designed to remove particulates and aerosols
from a gas stream, protecting the analyzer from damage, while maintaining
fast sample system response. If you have questions concerning the sampling
requirements of your process gas, please contact AMETEK Service.
• Sample Pressure and Temperature Requirements
Pressure reduction is user-supplied to ensure sample pressure to the ana-
lyzer remains within the range of 20–50 PSIG. The pressure reducer/regula-
tor with gauge should be installed near the Sample tap, between the tap
and analyzer (see Figure 2-3). For optimum performance, the sample line
should be heat traced to maintain a constant sample temperature. Opti-
mum Sample gas input is 60 °C.
