1 Introduction

This manual describes the operation at work of the In Situ Spectral Analyzer (called ISA) from GO Systeme-lektronik. The spectral analyzer is available in four versions:

• ISA TS BlueBox with integrated spectrometer sensor module

• ISA T4 BlueBox with external spectrometer sensor module

• ISA T4 DualBeam BlueBox with an external spectrometer sensor module with an integrated additional independent reference optical measurement path

• ISA mobile ISA TS with two accumulator batteries and a power up control module, integrated in a suitcase

The operation performs at the display of the BlueBox (menu operation) and with the BlueBox PC Software∗ incl. the Spectrum Visual program for the graphical representation of the spectra. This manual describes only the spectral analyzer specific operation. The general operation of the BlueBox and the BlueBox PC Software is described in the attached manuals: Manual BlueBox T4 und Manual BlueBox PC Software This manual does not describe the commissioning, maintenance and service. This is described in the at-tached Manual ISA and Process Spectrometer Commissioning – Maintenance –Service.

2 Overview

The ISA (In Situ Spectral Analyzer) is a spectrometer which works in the wavelength range between 200 and 708 nm (UVVIS). The result of a single measurement is an absorption spectra over the whole wavelength range. A spectrometer is a very multi-purpose measuring instrument because it can be implemented in very diverse applications through a relevant calibration. Multi-parameter measurements are also possible. This is a great advantage in comparison to electro-chemical sensors. Moreover, ISA offers an adjustable measuring-path-length whereby the number of potential applications is increased even more. A great advantage of ISA is the special coating of the glass plates in the measuring-path. Combined with the possibility to automatically clean the measuring section with compressed air, ISA achieves very long in- ser vice times and maintenance intervals. Only the optics and the compressed air cleaning are integrated into the high grade steel (material number 1.4404 or Titanium) sensor head. The entire control- and analysis-electronics are mounted in the accompany-ing sensor module. ISA is thereby usable in a high temperature range (up to 110°C). I SA is thus suitable for use in medicine or in the food industry, since the measuring head can be sterilized at high temperatures. ISA can be used in potentially explosive areas, for details, see 5.2 ATEX Notes.

Note: A separate manual for commissioning, maintenance and service is attached. Manual ISA and Process Spectrometer Commissioning – Maintenance –Service

∗ especially with the software AMS

ISA


The properties of ISA in summary:

3 Scope of Delivery The spectral analyzer is available in four versions:

• ISA TS BlueBox with integrated spectrometer sensor module

• ISA T4 BlueBox with external spectrometer sensor module

• ISA T4 DualBeam BlueBox with an external spectrometer sensor module with an integrated additional independent reference optical measurement path

• ISA mobile ISA TS with two accumulator batteries and a power up control module, integrated in a suitcase

3.1 Scope of Delivery ISA TS, ISA T4, ISA T4 DualBeam 1. BlueBox

If the spectrometer will not be integrated into an existing BlueBox system, the BlueBox is part of the deliv-ery. The BlueBox is the central control unit of ISA. In the BlueBox measured data are saved and for-warded, the values for the desired parameters are calculated and calibration parameters are stored. Via the PC interface all ISA data and settings can be remotely controlled and read out for further processing. The BlueBox is delivered with all the required accessories. Information about the properties, installation and use of the BlueBox can be found in its accompanying manual.

2. Sensor head The ISA sensor head is manufactured from high grade steel (optional titanium). Only the optics and the compressed air cleaning are integrated in the measuring head. The sensor head can thereby be deployed in high temperature ranges (up to +110 °C).

3. Sensor head cable The sensor head is connected with the spectrometer sensor module via the special covered sensor head cable. The spectrometer sensor module contains all the electronics. In the measuring head cable there are two fibre optic cables and a compressed air line. The probe cable must not be bent or kinked in a tighter radius than 40 mm. At installation the sensor head shall not be hung up at the measuring head cable; therefore use the appropriate lugs.

4. Sensor module with compressed air connector (only ISA T4 and ISA T4 DualBeam). The entire ISA control- and analysis-electronics are fitted in the Sensor module.

5. Software USB-Stick with the system software and the manuals

6. USB-Dongle Protection against unauthorized access

5 Tips before Starting 5.1 Safety Notices and Warnings Please read carefully the operating manuals before starting the BlueBox and ISA. Keep these manuals at hand. Do not pass the BlueBox or ISA on to other persons without the user manuals. The manufacturer does not take responsibility for incorrect handling or operation. The instrument is constructed according to the low voltage code and to the safety regulations for electronic measuring devices. Correct function and safety can only be ensured when both general and system-specific safety measures are followed. Before connecting the power supply, make sure that the power supply voltage is suitable. Correct and safe function can only be maintained under the climatic conditions specified in chapter 4 Techni-cal data. If the instrument is moved from a cold to a warm environment, condensation might form which could influ-ence its function. In this case, wait for the instrument to reach equilibrium with the new surroundings before use. Maintenance and repairs may only be carried out by GO-authorised technicians. If it is suspected that the instrument cannot be used without danger, it must be shut down and prevented from further use. The user’s safety might be affected if the instrument shows signs of damage, does not function properly, has undergone long storage under unsuitable conditions or was subject to extreme transport conditions. If in doubt, contact the manufacturer "GO Systemelektronik GmbH” and send the instrument for repair or maintenance if necessary.

The fibre optic cable must not be bent or flexed with a radius less than 40 mm.

The sensor head must not be hung on the sensor head cable, please use the lugs for installation of the Sensor head.

ISA


5.2 ATEX Notes Guideline 94/9/EC, known as the ATEX directive, requires in Annex II to the fulfilment of basic safety require-ments for devices that are provided within the EU for use in explosive areas.

The sensor head of the spectrometer has the following ATEX-characterisation∗ :

II 3/- G Ex op is IIA T4 Gb/-

The BlueBox respectively the sensor module must necessarily be located outside the explosive area.

The power supply may not fit against the housing of the BlueBox respectively of the sensor module. The housing of the BlueBox respectively of the sensor module must always be grounded.

The electrical resistance between the lower lug of the spectrometer sensor head and the ground screw of the BlueBox respectively of the sensor module must be less than 50 Ω.

Parameter: Electrical data: maximal input voltage of the sensor module: 36 V DC Range of ambient temperature: Sensor head: 0 °C to +110 °C Sensor module: 0 °C to +40 °C Special conditions for safe use: The ambient temperature of the sensor is 0 °C to +110 °C. The sensor module must be installed outside of hazardous areas. The ambient temperature of the sensor module is 0 °C to +40 °C. The basic safety and health requirements are fulfilled by compliance with: EN 60079-0:2009 General requirements EN 60079-28:2007 Optical Radiation 'op is' Identification of the measuring head: Laser engraving Identification of the BlueBox/sensor module: abrasion resistant label on the outside right

∗ If a separate ATEX certificate is attached, this certificate is valid. II 2/- G Ex op is IIB T4 Gb/- is available on request.

ISA


5.3 Setup Schematic In the diagram below is a schematical representation of module interconnections. The Sensor module should be mounted close to the place of measurement. The maximum distance between Sensor module and Sensor head is determined by the length of fibre optic cable (depending on version up to 10 m). The Sensor module and the BlueBox are in version ISA T4 connected by CAN-bus cable (type of cable: LiYCY 2x2x0.5 mm² with an impedance of approx. 100 Ω). Cable lengths up to 200 m are possible∗, so that the BlueBox as central control unit of the measuring system can be mounted in a control station. A PC (or Notebook) with BlueBox system-software installed is necessary for the configuration of the system. For direct connection with a PC/Notebook use a standard or crosslink network-cable.

6 Commissioning The commissioning of the ISA spectrometer is described in detail in the attached Manual ISA and Process Spectrometer Commissioning - Maintenance - Service.

∗ Consider the voltage drop.

ISA


7 Measurement Cycle

1. Cleaning (only when compressed air cleaning is active) Compressed air cleaning of the sensor head optics (Duration: Parameter Cleaning time)

2. Wait (only when compressed air cleaning is active) The wait time after flushing serves to ensure that air bubbles can dissipate. (Duration: Parameter Waiting time)

3. Dark measuring A dark measuring quantifies the dark current and is used to compensate individual system properties. The dark measurement is factory preset and cannot be changed.

4. Heating The Xenon lamp is heated up through a few light flashes. (Number of flashes: Parameter Heating).

5. Measuring The period in which an actual measurement occurs. It consists of an individual measurement (Number of light flashes per single measurement: Parameter Intensity) repeated a number of times (Number of repeti-tions: Parameter Average). The final measurement result is the arithmetic mean of the individual meas-urements.

6. Idle time The time until the beginning of the next measurement cycle.

The input of settings during the measuring process time is not possible.∗

∗ Except in extreme cases there is enough time for the input of settings after the end of the measuring process time to the begin ing of the next measurement cycle. The measurement process period is calculated from the Heating period, Dark measuring period and Measuring period. The Heating period is generally negligible. The dark measurement is negligible too, because it takes place only once. Heating + Dark measuring + (Intensity x Average) 100 light flashes have a duration of approx. 1.6 s.

10 Saving the Spectra Data in the BlueBox What spectra data will be saved in the BlueBox is determined by the adjustment Save Mode in the drop-down menu under Applications in the calibration window (see 11.2).

These settings are the same as in the Save Mode option of ISA Data (see 11.2 Transmitting the BlueBox Data with ISA Data). 11 Transmitting the Data to the PC There are two ways of transmitting the spectra data from the BlueBox to the PC.

• Transmitting with BlueBox SQL software Here the whole data of the BlueBox are transmitted to the PC.

• Transmitting with ISA Data Here only the raw spectra and the extinction spectra are transmitted. It is possible to transmit only se-lected spectra.

Both ways save the data in a SQL data base. The memory location was determined at the installation of the SQL-server.

14 Applications The ISA Spectrometer offers by means of AMS (Advanced Managing Software) the possibility to program so called virtual Sensors. In combination with ISA numerous possibilities can be realized. With the help of two examples the analytical possibilities of ISA will be shown:

• Spectral Absorption Coefficient (SAC) at 254 nm

• Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)

14.1 Example: Spectral Absorption Coefficient (SAC or SAK) at 254 nm The Spectral Absorption Coefficient (SAC) allows assertions to be made concerning the contamination level of water bodies by organic materials. The basis for this example is a measurement according to DIN 38404-3 (2006). The light attenuation per meter of water (unit 1/m) at 254nm is measured. Light attenuation at 254nm is a measure of the organic material contamination level of water bodies because many organic materials absorb ultraviolet light. A virtual sensor for the measurement of SAC is already pre-programmed.

Select SAK254 with double-click.

The following window appears:

Explanation of text in the formula input field: Value =ISA(254)*(1000/ISA.Pathlength); ⇒ determines the measured wavelength (here 254 nm) and converts the measured value into the unit 1/m

and writes this in the variable “Value“ „ISA.Pathlength“ is a system variable (value of the variable is the length of the measurement path in

mm), see 9.2.1 The Configuration Window and 8.2 The Maintenance Menu if (Value<0) Value = 0; ⇒ suppresses the output of negative values Value; ⇒ outputs the value The result is the Spectral Absorption Coefficient (SAC) at 254 nm.

ISA


14.2 Example: Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD or CSB) The Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) is a measurement of how much oxygen is required by the chemical proc-esses in waste water. A high value points to a high percentage of organic material in the waste water. The algorithm to calculate COD is determined by a comparison of values from test samples. Not less than 25 test samples are required.

Select CSB with double-click.

ISA


The following window appears:

The COD value is the sum of the weighted values of the absorption coefficient of four wavelengths (388 nm, 390 nm, 532 nm, 542 nm). Explanation of text in the formula input field: Value = 13.2757; ⇒ sets the output value to 13.2757 Value += ISA(388)* -275944.1177; ⇒ adds to the output value the with 13.2757 multiplied absorption coefficient at a wavelength of 388 nm etc. if ( Value < 0 ) Value = 0; ⇒ suppresses the output of negative values Value; ⇒ outputs the value

14.3 ISA Formula Examples What follows is a list of examples to show how a virtual sensor can be programmed to display ISA calculations.

In this formula the absorption values at frequencies 284nm, 332nm and 628nm are used to generate a CSB value. A lower limit is also implemented. The exact coefficients are derived from ISA Soft software calcula-tions.

ISA NO3 example

# IS A N O3 ( exa m pl e) Valu e = - 0 .06 347 ; Valu e += I SA (28 4) * 28 .5 47863 ; Valu e += I SA (33 2) * - 51 . 92771 1; Valu e += I SA (62 8) * 30 .1 10743 ; i f ( Valu e < 0 ) Va lu e = 0 ; Valu e;

A saved spectrum fingerprint can be used as a reference to look for medium contamination. In this formula, the sum of the absolute value of the differences of the present spectrum to the saved fingerprint at all fre-quencies in the range 200 to 710nm is calculated. The frequency range can of course be adjusted.

15 Parameter Accuracy Parameters, calculated with ISA spectral data can achieve the accuracy of 5% (typical 5 % - 10 %). In detail the accuracy can vary by the change of the water matrix. If the water matrix has higher variability, for example day / night or seasonal changes, this has to be analyzed and a special calibration must be performed. Changes in the water matrix can be detected by other parameters (conductivity, pH value, temperature etc). 1. The accuracy of spectral data calculated parameters always is influenced by the quality of calibration.

A higher number of calibration points will have the result of a more accurate calibration!

2. The range of the reference value pairs∗ must cover the entire measuring range evenly distributed as possi-ble. The minimum number of reference value pairs is 25, a smaller number reduces the quality of the cali-bration and may subsequently lead to erroneous measurements.

3. The right choice of the analytical method and the care in the procedure are the most important require-ments for the accuracy of the calculation. The accuracy of the ISA parameter calibration is depending upon the specific accuracy of the chemical method for the parameter.

4. After a calibration it must be checked and, if necessary, adjusted over a longer period (e.g. one week). This increases the stability of the measurement.

Measurements with high accuracy over a longer period are only possible with correspondingly adapted main-tenance, a maintenance schedule is highly recommended here.

In general periodic cleaning and recalibration increases the measurement quality. The interval of the mainte-nance is determined by the measurement conditions and can last from several weeks to several months. See Manual ISA and Process Spectrometer Commissioning – Maintenance – Service

∗ For the calculation and calibration to the desired parameter of a specific application, it is necessary that for each parameter

reference values from chemical laboratory analysis and the corresponding spectral values are provided. In case of a one-parameter calibration a spectrum is assigned to one reference value, in a multi-parameter calibration there is more than one reference value assigned. The spectral data of a spectrum plus one or more corresponding measurement values are called reference value pair.

1 Overview

ISA mobile is an integrated combination of ISA TS with a BlueBox Power Up Control inclusive two 12 V accu-mulator batteries in a case. The Power Up Control

• Converts the 12 V voltage of a battery into a 24 V power supply for a BlueBox-System. • Starts up and shuts down the BlueBox at user specified intervals. • Protects the accumulator batteries from deep discharge.

The Power Up Control is described in the manual BlueBox - Power Up Control. The use of ISA mobile differs from it only in the choice between automatic mode and manual mode (see page 61, there item 7).

Before prolonged storage and transportation for a long period, the fuses of the accumulator batteries have to be removed.

The fibre optic cable must not be bent or flexed with a radius less than 40 mm.

The sensor head must not be hung on the sensor head cable, please use the lugs for installation of the sensor head.
