Preparations for Installation
This chapter provides pre-installation guidelines for the FT 6 laser gas analyzer. The following requirements must be considered and the described preparations must be completed at the measurement site before the installation of FT 6 can be performed.
2.1
The Sensor The following requirements must be considered before installing the sensor at the measurement site.
2.1.1 Sensor Installation Requirements There must be enough space to enable removing of the sensor lids and adjustment of the sensor. Figure 2.1 shows the dimensions of FT 6.

Preparations for Installation
2.2
The Hybrid and Loop Cables The following requirements must be considered before installing the cables at the measurement site.
2.2.1 Cable Installation Requirements The hybrid cables should be installed in a way that protects them from mechanical wear such as sharp edges or moving parts. Operating temperature for the cables is -40 to +80°C (-40 to + 176°F). Installation temperature for the cables is -20 to +80°C (-4 to + 176°F). These temperatures refer to both ambient temperature and any parts the cables come in contact with. Always protect the single mode fibre (E2000 connector with green colour) from dust. Cables are supplied with a protective tube at each end and inside these a plastic protective cap for the single mode fibre.
NOTE DO NOT remove the protective tube until the cable is installed and ready to be connected to LDS 6 and sensor. DO NOT remove the plastic protective cap until the cable is routed inside the LDS 6/sensor. The protective tubes should only be removed by authorized personnel.
The bending radius of the cable may never be smaller than 100 mm (4”). If clamps are used there must be a minimum of 0.5 mm (0.02”) clearance between cable and clamp or use rubber coated clamps. Take extra care of hybrid cables for HCl systems since the cables are very sensitive to the wavelength used in these systems. Figure 2.2 shows the pre-requisites for installation of the cables. 3URWHFWLRQWXEHIRUWKHFDEOHV RQHLQHDFKHQG

Figure 2.2 Cable handling
2.2.2 Identification of Cables All cables are marked with identification tags, as follows: HXXXA or HXXXB, where H means Hybrid cable. XXX is the serial number for the cable and A/B depends on the direction in which the cable is oriented. Before cables are shipped from Siemens Laser Analytics they are tested in both directions A to B and B to A. It does not matter which way the cable is installed. Hybrid cables are installed between the LDS 6 and the transmitter sensor. LXXX are loop cables and are the same for all systems. Loop cables are installed between the transmitter sensor and the receiver sensor.
CAUTION Make sure the operating and installation temperatures for the hybrid and loop cables are not exceeded.

Installation Guidelines 3.1
The Compensation path The FT6 unit is connected between the purging gas source and the purged CD6 C sensor. The purging gas is fed through the FT6 by means of a gas inlet, a measurement chamber and a gas outlet. The concentration of H2O in the measurement chamber is measured using a measurement channel of the LDS system.

NOTE The FT6 is assembled when delivered. Cables and gas tubes are mounted and the cover is sealed. None of the FT6 parts should be disassembled. The only mounting required is the connection of the hybrid cable to the LDS6 system and the gas connectors to the purging gas supply.
The installation process is to be performed as follows:
3.1.1 Installation It is necessary to remove the air moisture inside the sensor. FT 6 is delivered from the factory with readily mounted nitrogen purge connections.

Installation Guidelines
NOTE The recommended flow is 10 l/min and the absolute minimum is 6 l/ min. The pressure should be as close to ambient as possible and should not exceed 1.5 bar absolute. Too low flow rate and/or to humid purging gas might lead to faulty measurements.

The installation process should follow these steps. 1. Connect the gas inlet and outlet to the purging gas line using 6 mm tubes. 2. Connect the hybrid cable to the LDS 6 system following the instructions in the LDS6 manual.
NOTE The connection to ground is only delivered with the FT 6 ATEX.
3.1.2 Electrical and optical installation of FT 6 Install the cables, hybrid and loop cable, at the transmitter sensor. Cables are fixed in the sensor with gaskets. Always use lubricant on the gaskets before installing, otherwise these will be very difficult to remove later. Multi-mode fibre (SMA connector) and 24 V are just connected straight through to the receiver.
NOTE Always protect the single-mode fibre (E2000 connector) from dust. Do not remove the plastic vial until the cable is firmly fastened in the sensor.

3.1.3 Alarm considerations when using FT 6 FT 6 is connected as a separate channel to LDS 6. It has to be connected to channel 2. This channel is processed by LDS 6 as compensation information for channel 1 (and 2 if two CD 6C is used). Thus it is very important to monitor the alarms on channel 2 because they make measurement values on channel 1 (and channel 2) invalid. Too low transmission will for instance make the compensation information noisy which will degrade the calculated concentration values in the other channels. To high concentration value from FT 6, on the other hand, might indicate a leaking FT 6 or a failure in the purging system. Our recomendation is that this alarm information is handled by the customers DCS (Distributed Control System) in an appropriate way.
3.1.4 Aligning FT 6 Sometimes it may be necessary to realign FT 6, as for instance when the sensor electronics is changed. To do this a certified technician needs to be called since special tools and skills are needed.
9 FT 6 – Water vapor sensor compensation path for LDS 6 A5E00912840-01
Installation Guidelines
WARNING If aligning needs to be done in an ATEX zone it is forbidden to open the lid during operation. Be sure to shut down the system and remove FT 6 out of the ATEX zone before aligning.
3.1.5 ATEX A hybrid cable is used to connect the transmitter sensor to the barrier. For details of this se the CD 6C manual. Connecting the Sensor to the Barrier 1. Cut off the pre-mounted phoenix contact at the hybrid cable. 2. Insert the hybrid cable/-s (one for each channel) in the feed throughs at the top of the barrier box. Fasten each cable with a gasket. 3. Connect each hybrid cable to the Surge Protection Devices SD32X (yellow). - (brown cable) shall be connected to inlet number 4 and + (green cable) to inlet number 5. 4. Connect the hybrid cable to the compensation path as described in “Compensation path – FT 6” on page 13. Connecting the ATEX version of FT 6 For ATEX versions FT 6 is premounted with special ATEX electronics and surge protection. The green phoenix contact mounted on the sensor card is already connected with a red wire for +24 V and a black wire for GND. Two additional wires should be connected to the phoenix connector. These wires come from the loop cable. 1. Connect the green wire next to the red one (for 24 V) on the phoenix contact. 2. Connect the brown wire next to the black one (for GND) on the phoenix contact. 3. Connect the sensor housing to earth using the premounted 2 meters earth cable (yellow-green).

Technical Description
This chapter gives a technical description of the FT 6 compensation path. All parts of the system, including sensor and hybrid cable are described.
4.1
FT 6 and cable overview
4.1.1 The purpose of FT 6 The sensor CD 6C is measuring water vapor with a detection limit around 0.5 ppm. Inside the sensor the laser beam have to pass ambient air a couple of decimeters before entering the measurement region. If nothing is done this ambient region will contain approx. 1% water vapor which is more than 10 000 times more than the resolution of the analyzer. Consequently this region has to be purged with a very dry gas – normally nitrogen. It is not always possible to provide a purge gas dry enough and that is when FT 6 comes into play. This sensor measures the water vapor level in the purge gas which makes it possible for LDS 6 to correct for this. This approach reduces the quality demand on the purge gas drastically and a residual water vapor concentration less than 20 ppm is now sufficient.

Technical Description
4.1.2 The Hybrid Cable The hybrid cable is constructed for very harsh environments and consists of two optical fibres, one for transmission of the laser light to the measurement volume (single-mode fibre) and one for the return of the detected signal (multi-mode fibre). Two twisted electrical wires are used for powering the electronics in the sensor (24 VDC). The hybrid cable is illustrated in Figure 4.2.

The transmitter includes a lens and a connection for the optical fibre located in the focal plane of the lens. The receiver contains a lens and the sensor electronics. The sensor electronics consist of the detector module and the sensor card. The powering of the sensor electronics is performed with a twisted pair copper cable delivering 24 VDC. The detector card is a detector with pre-amplifier, and the sensor card consists of driver electronics for the optical return signal and DC/DC-converter. The laser light is coupled from the optical fibre in the transmitter to its lens and passes through the measurement volume. The lens in the receiver focuses the incoming laser light on the detector where it is converted to an electrical signal. This signal is

amplified and converted to an optical signal and returned to the central unit.
4.1.5 The FT 6 Ex Sensor Each measurement channel is available in this ATEX version for measurements in explosive areas. The FT 6 Ex sensor is used for measurements in these kind of measurements. In this ATEX version the FT 6 Ex sensor is used. For this set-up a barrier box needs to be installed between the central unit and the sensor pair. This barrier box needs to be installed in a safe environment (just as the central unit), fairly close to the central unit. Figure 4.4 shows the ATEX set-up. Electrical installation of the ATEX set-up is described in 3.1.5 “ATEX” on page 10.

The Sensor The compensation path, FT 6, is a sensor used to compensate for residual water vapour in the purge gas when measuring water vapour through a gas channel. It consists of a transmitter and receiver creating a single path measurement situation. The transmitter includes a lens and a connection for the optical fiber located in the focal plane of the lens. The receiver contains a lens, a detector with preamplifier, driver electronics for the optical return signal, and a 24 VDC to ±15 VDC DC/DC-converter. The laser light is coupled from the optical fiber in the transmitter to the transmitter lens and passes through the measurement volume. The lens in the receiver focuses the incoming laser light on the detector where it is converted to an electrical signal. This signal is amplified and converted to an optical signal and returned to the central unit LDS 6. FT 6 is also available in ATEX version. The main difference is that FT 6 Ex is delivered with a ground cable, a surge protection and ATEX electronics.
