1.0 INTRODUCTION

The TQ4200 is an Aspirated Infrared Refrigerant Leak Detection System (IRLDS). This system utilises infrared gas analysing technology to detect the signatures of the designated gas, thus eliminating any nuisance alarms from other gases, a selection of which are mentioned below;

a) Hydrogen b) Carbon Monoxide c) Carbon Dioxide d) Hexane e) Heat resistance aluminium paint fumes f) Epoxy finishing paint fumes. g) Epoxy finish white base paint fumes. h) Bioguard water based paint i) Methane

The TQ4200 system has the capability of monitoring up to 16 sample points by sequentially cycling through each location. Individual sample lines can be configured to detect differing refrigerant gases. The TQ4200 is currently programmed to monitor the following refrigerants:

a) R12 b) R22 c) R114 d) R134a e) R404A f) R407C g) R403B h) R236fa

Each sample point will also have three individual alarm trip levels. Any gas sample concentration reaching the ‘low’, ‘high’ and ‘high-high’ trip levels will operate the common alarm relays and provide an output to actuate audible/visual alarm devices.

The TQ4200 front panel provides the operator interface via four pushbuttons and a backlit LCD display. During normal operation the LCD display will provide the ‘location’, ‘gas type’ and sample ‘concentration’ for each individual location. The TQ4200 also has the ability to store the last twenty alarms which can be displayed in alarm/time/date format in time order. Each of the sample transport lines are constantly monitored for flow restrictions. In the event of a reduction or loss of flow, a ‘system flow alarm’ will be initiated.

2.0 DESCRIPTION 2.1 Infrared Sensor (GD134, GD137) The operation of the infrared sensor within the TQ4200 has been developed from the infrared heat source detector utilised in the thermal imaging cameras measuring infrared radiation. These detectors have now developed into non-dispersive infrared analysers. Dispersive analysers use a wide band of infrared to identify a gas, the none-dispersive type narrows the wavelength specific to a gas. The narrow infra red band produced is passed through the gas sample and a gas specific to this wavelength will absorb this infrared depending on the concentration. The electronics converts this absorption of infrared into an electrical signal for processing. The narrowing of the band of infrared light is produced utilising filters made of specific material such as calcium fluoride, sapphire, etc. The light source is modulated by a mechanical chopper to give a high performance on very small signal. This modulated light source together with a reference sensor, which is not exposed to the gas sample, gives a very accurate signal for a concentration of the target gas. 2.2 Pneumatic System The gas sample is brought into the TQ4200 at approximately 4 litres/min from one of the 15 sample lines, into the solenoid bank manifold by a diaphragm pump and presented to the infrared sensor. A particulate filter is fitted before the pump. (Please refer to Figure 3 & 4). 2.2.1 External Catch-Pot The external catch-pot will remove the majority of moisture within the sample line. If the bowl is allowed to fill the catch-pot will automatically shut-off the sample line causing a flow fail alarm. 2.2.2 Flow Fail The flow fail is detected by the PCB mounted differential pressure switch sensing across a differential pressure tube (See Figure 4).This PCB will provide an alarm output when there is a reduction in air flow.

2.2.3 Pressure Sensor A pressure sensor monitors the air pressure in the vent line of the TQ4200 to provide the electronics with pressure information when calculating the gas concentration. This pressure sensor is also a PCB mounted device. 2.2.4 Solenoid Valves The solenoid valves in either an 8-way or 16-way configuration, are mounted on an eight way common manifold and have 24V DC operating coils. Fitted within the solenoid valve connector covers are back EMF diodes and LED indicators. The common manifold also provides the individual sample line inlet ports. Each port is 1/8” BSP and can be fitted with a union connector to suit the transport tubing. (Note: these inlet connectors are not included with the standard unit). 2.2.5 Sampling Pump The sampling pump is a single ended unit power by 24VDC from the internal power supply. The pump is fitted with viton diaphragm and seals, and requires very little maintenance. Flow rate for this application is 4 litres/hour. The electrical supply to the pump is wired through Fuse 4 (See Figure 5). 2.2.6 DC Electrical Supplies The DC electrical supplies for the TQ4200 are provided by its internal 110 Watt power supply unit. This is a universal input device and will accept an input of 85 to 250 Volts AC. (See Figure 5). The mains input to the TQ4200 unit is connected to TBF-01 and then to a fused isolator via the EMC suppresser. 2.2.7 Outputs Outputs from the TQ4200 are in the form of:-

- Volt Free Contacts for Alarm 1, 2 and 3 and Common Fault

- 24V DC @ 100mA for Visual Alarm - 24V DC @ 100mA for Audible Alarm

- One 4-20mA analogue output RS485 Modbus 4-20ma Output with respect to concentratiom (0-2000ppm) 4-20ma Output with respect to locaction (1ma per location)

3.0 SYSTEM SOFTWARE

This section explains in detail the system set-up and operation of the TQ 4200 main board. Four keys are used to navigate through and access the system software functions, namely: MENU, SELECT, UP, and DOWN.

3.1 System Start-up

When the system is powered on or a hardware system reset occurs, the TQ 4200 main board will boot up showing the Start-up screen in Figure 3-1 below:

TQ ENVIRONMENTAL PlC

NVRAM TEST: PASS

Figure 3-2 NVRAM Self Test

3.2 Power-on Reset*

The power-on reset function is used to load the default data into the system. The user must initiate the power-on reset by pressing and holding the SELECT key, UP key, and DOWN key simultaneously for approximately two seconds when the power is turned on.

If the user does not initiate a power-on reset then the system will begin initialisation by downloading the previous parameters into system memory from the non-volatile serial RAM. This stage is indicated on the liquid crystal display by Figure 3-3 shown below:

* The system start up is only required on the very first power up or if any data becomes corrupt.

3.3 System Warm-up

When the TQ 4200 main board is powered on or a hardware reset is applied, the system will undergo a warm-up period. This warm-up period will last no longer than 2 minutes and the liquid crystal display will be as shown in Figure 3-4 below:

SENSOR WARMUP PERIOD

PLEASE WAIT…

Figure 3-4 Warm-up Period Mode

If the warm-up period is unsuccessful and 15 minutes has elapsed since the power has been turned on, the system will select the System Fault mode.

N.B. Due to the temperature changing within the cabinet the sensor will take time to obtain 95% accuracy. After 8 hours the system will reached its peak accuracy. The systems are therefore designed for continuous operation and should not be powered down as necessary.

When the system has settled, any opening of the door on the cabinet will reduce the accuracy again of the system. Therefore several hours are required for true readings to be obtained. This is due to the fact explained in section one where originally these sensors were used for thermal imaging and the difference in temperatures affects their accuracy. Additionally the detector and reference elements in the system have different coefficients of heat dissipation which results in loss of accuracy.

3.4 Normal Operating Mode

The TQ 4200 main board has two distinct modes of operation: the Normal Operating Mode and the Menu Mode. After system initialisation, the TQ 4200 main board will automatically select the Normal Operating Mode. In this mode the system will scan each zone location sequentially, displaying on the liquid crystal display the current zone location, the sampled gas, and the sampled gas concentration in parts per million (ppm). This information is displayed as shown in Figure 3-7 below:

ZONE 1

Page 16 of 57

When selecting a particular zone location, its corresponding solenoid is activated in order to sample the gas concentration. At the end of the ‘solenoid on’ sequence the sampled gas concentration is measured and compared with two user defined alarm levels. If the sampled gas concentration has exceeded the stored alarm levels then an appropriate alarm relay will be activated. The display will confirm the alarm condition by displaying the zone location, alarm number, and alarm status. An example of an alarm condition is shown in Figure 3-8 below, together with either the first and second red alarm LED’s.

3.7 Overview of the Alarm Operation As explained previously an alarm condition will occur if the sampled gas level exceeds the set alarm level. That is, for a rising (+) alarm type the alarm will be activated if the sampled gas level is greater than the alarm level, and for a falling (-) alarm type the alarm will be activated if the sampled gas level is less than the alarm level.

When an alarm occurs the zone location, alarm number, and alarm status is displayed on the LCD and the relevant alarm relays are activated. The display will freeze on the first alarm activated and the system will then continue scanning the other zone locations sequentially. If a second alarm is detected while the first alarm is still active, the system will store the zone location, alarm number, and alarm status of the second alarm and place this into a queuing system while still only displaying the first alarm conditions on the LCD. Further alarms will continue to be stored up to a maximum value of 20 alarms. The following sections will describe in detail the various functions available to control the alarm status.

6.0 MAINTENANCE

Preventative maintenance requirements on the system have been designed to be

minimal and limited. The details of this maintenance plan are as follows:-

6.1 Weekly

Check external ‘catchpot’ located on the right hand side of the TQ4200 enclosure for water ingress. (See Figure 1).

To drain off water turn the bleed screw on the bottom of the bowl anti-

clockwise as you look at the bottom of the catchpot. Ensure that the bleed screw is turned full clockwise on completion of draining.

6.2 Annually

6.2.1 Replace the particulate filter (Part No. 420-026).

Power down. Locate filter ‘F1’ loose in the lower right hand side of the cabinet, refer to figure 3, Note the direction of flow arrow on the body. Remove pipe from each side change filter and refit in the reverse of above.

6.2.2 Replace the end of line filters (Part No. 420-006).

Locate filters at the sample points, unscrew the end cap and change filter element, and refit end cap.

6.2.3 Replace the charcoal filter (Part No. 420-004) fitted to the

calibration line on sample inlet ‘O’. Locate the filter fitted to the calibration line and remove by undoing the compression nut. Remove the nut from the old filter and place over the new filter port. Place the new brass 1/4” ferrule set supplied, over the same port with the cone front ferrule pointing towards the bulkhead fitting. Push new filter port into the bulkhead fitting and screw on compression nut until finger tight. Mark the nut and bulkhead fitting and tighten the compression nut ¾ to 1.0 turn.

6.2.4 Replace the pump diaphragm and seals (Part No. 920-031). Locate the sample pump, refer figure 3, remove the four screws securing the square pump housing cover plate. Remove the two seals and diaphragm, fit the new items and refit cover

plate.

6.3 3 Yearly

6.3.1 Replace sample pump Pt No 920-030.

N.B However, it may be more feasible to adopt a ‘breakdown only’ approach to maintaining the system as the repairs are relatively simple and the system will always fail safe. The expected failures will be water ingress to external catchpot as above, filter blockages and pump failure all of which will generate alarms

8.0 FAULT FINDING

The TQ 4200 has built in fault diagnostics which constantly monitor the operation of the unit and in the event of detecting a fault will indicate a ‘Fault’ followed by: - ANALYSER NVRAM FAIL - 4200 NVRAM FAIL - SENSOR COMMS FAIL - 4200 COMMS FAIL - ZERO FILTER BLOCKED - FLOW FAIL - NO PRESSURE

- SENSOR DRIFT - SENSOR FAULT

Please note that all fault alarms are latched and require an alarm reset as per section 4.3.2.2. ‘Fault’ will remain displayed until all faults have been cleared.

8.1 Analyser NVRAM Fault

FAULT

ANALYSER NVRAM FAIL

Figure 8.1 Faults – Analyser NVRAM Fail

‘Analyser NVRAM Fail’ will be displayed when the gas analyser board has failed to write or read the correct values to or from its’ non-volatile RAM.
