• Check the voltage setting (110 or 220 VAC) on the back of the instrument. Ensure that it is se t to the correct voltage. If the pointer is not aligned to the loca l voltage, turn the selector to point to the correct voltage. • Perform a sensor regeneration by following these steps:  Connect the line cord between the connector on the back o[...]

2. INTRODUCTION The Jerome 631-X Hydrogen Sulfide Analyzer is an ambient air analyzer with a range of 0.003 ppm to 50 ppm (parts pe r million). CAUTION: The Jerome 631-X is for vapor use only. DO NOT allow the probe or the instrument's intake to be exposed to any liquid, dust or other foreign material. The 631-X is designed to be easy to opera[...]

Applications • Ambient air analysis • Odor nuisance monitoring • Regulatory compliance • Control room corrosion monitoring • Quality control • Scrubber efficiency testing • Accuracy check for other hydrogen sulf ide monitors and control system s • Hydrogen sulfide source detection • Leak detection • The Jerome 631-X can be opera[...]

Zero Air Filter The Zero Air Filter removes mercury vapor, mercaptans, and hydrogen sulfide from the air sample. Readings with the filter installed should be near zero. Because air that is cooler than the instrum ent will cause low readings and warmer air will cause higher readings, the Zero Air Filter should be us ed to equilibrate the unit to amb[...]

Daily Operations Before each day's use of the Jerome 631-X, perform the following steps to verify proper instrument operation: • Press the power ON button.  The digital meter displays 000.  (Disregard the digital meter's initia l momentary reading.)  Recharge or replace the batte ry pack if the LO BAT indi cator REMAINS ON. Ref[...]

Sensor Regeneration Sensor regeneration is needed to clear the 631- X sensor of any accumulated hydrog en sulfide. This simple procedure should be done: • At the beginning of the day on which the instrument is to be used. • During the day when the sensor becomes saturated. • At the end of the day before storing the instrument. CAUTION: Ensure[...]

Zero Adjust • To ensure air entering the instru ment is clean, install the aero air filter in the instrument’s intake and sample until the readings stabiliz e. • While pressing the ZERO button, turn the ZERO ADJUST potentiometer (shown at right) using the trimmer tool until the digital meter reads 0.  If the LCD reads H, turn the ZERO ADJU[...]

Sample Mode This is the standard operation mode and is used f or optimum accuracy. • Press the power ON button.  The LCD displays 000.  Disregard the LCD's initial m omentary readings.  Recharge or replace the batte ry pack if the LO BAT indi cator REMAINS ON, see page 17 and/or page 21 if necessary. • Allow a 1-minute warm up bef[...]

Survey Mode The survey mode takes samples every 3 to 20 se conds automatically. The length of tim e varies with the hydrogen sulfide concentration. Use this mode to locate the source of hydrogen sulfide, such as a leak, a hot spot, or to assess areas of potentially high hydrogen sulfide concentrations. After the survey mode is activat ed, the 631-X[...]

Operating on AC Power or Generator • For stationary use, the 631- X may be operated on AC power.  Operating the instrument on AC power at all times elim inates the need for the battery pack and its necessary maintenance.  The battery may be unplugged or removed co mpletely whenever the instrument is operating on AC power. • When a generat[...]

Charging Batteries • Press the power OFF button. • Connect the AC power cord between the 631-X power receptacle and an AC power source.  Complete battery rech arging takes 14 hours.  The 631-X contains a trickle charger so it ma y be continually plugge d into an AC power source without damaging the battery pack. • The battery pack may b[...]

5. MAINTENANCE Preventive Maintenance Calendar To keep the Jerome 631-X operating at peak perf ormance, follow the maintenance schedule below as a guide. Since maintenance is more a function of application and amount of use rather than time, your requirements m ay be different from the listed schedule. Call AZI Customer Service at 800-528-7411, 602[...]

Flow System The Jerome 631-X's flow system is the crucial li nk between the sensor and the sample. For the instrument to perform correctly, the flow syst em must be properly m aintained. The user maintainable components of this system are the intake filter (.25 inch fritware), two scrubber filters and connecting tubing. Check the Preventive Ma[...]

Internal Filters • Replace the internal filters after six (6) months of use, or as n eeded. • Press the power OFF button and unplug the power cord. • Remove the two (2) side screws from the inta ke end of the instrument and open the case. • Carefully disconnect the Tygon tubing from both ends of the filters and discard the old filters. CAUT[...]

Replacing the Battery Pack • Press the power OFF button. • Unplug the power cord. • Remove the two (2) side screws from the intake end of the instrument and open the case lid. • Disconnect the battery connector from the board. • Loosen the two (2) captive screws holding the battery bracket and remove the bracket. • Remove the old batter[...]

Changing the Fuse If the instrument display reads .P.P.P when the instrument is connected to AC power or when REGEN is pressed, or if the batt ery will not charge, the fuse may need to be replaced. The AC line power could also be less th an 100 VAC (220 VAC). Check the fuse with an ohmmeter and the AC line power with a voltage meter. • Locate the[...]

6. CALIBRATION The Jerome 631-X's gold film sensor is inherently stable and does not requir e frequent calibration. The interval between cali brations depends upon the application and frequency of use; however, the recommended interval is every 12 months. The Jerome 631-X has been factory calibrated using laboratory equipment containing NIST t[...]

Jerome 631-X instruments shipped after early 1995, are capable of pr oviding 0-2 volts analog output. Instruments shipped before that tim e can be upgraded by a firmware update and adjustment. Instruments that are capable of 0-2 volt output can be upgraded to the 4-20 mA output with the addition of an option board upgrade. This must be installed at[...]

• The 4-20 mA passive receive rs must not contain a voltage source to power the loop current. They do require the addition of a separate isolated power supply. Typically a supply that delivers 15 to 20 volts DC at 50 mA is sufficient. Wire these as in Figure 3. Note that some 12-volt DC wall transformers (as used on portable equipment) m ay deliv[...]

Fresh Air Solenoid An external three-way solenoid ca n be used to provide fresh air or conditioned air during sensor regeneration. This may be necessary if the sa m ple stream lacks m olecular oxygen. A low current six volt DC solenoid, connected betw een pins 19 and 11 of the 25 pin rear panel connector, will be energized during the regeneration c[...]

DC Power Op eration Instruments with the 631-X opti on board modification can be used with any +12 VDC source for continuous operation, if the AZI Power Inverter Kit, P/N Y031 0902 is installed along with the option board. To preserve the life of the DC power source, usually a car or truck battery, the power inverter will switch on au tomatically t[...]

Ensure that the inverter’s power switch is in the “OFF” position. LEAVE the power switch in the “OFF” position at all times. The interface board w ill ac tivate the inverter when necess ary. If the inverter power switch is placed in the “ON” position, it will cause a continuous drain on the external 12-volt power system. • Remove th[...]
