Model OPM 2001
1-5 SYSTEM STARTUP PROCEDURE
Use the following steps to start the OPM 2001.
If the opacity transmitter is installed to meet the
requirements of EPA regulation 40 CFR, Part
60, Appendix B, Specification 1, follow this pro-
cedure prior to installing the opacity transmitter
on the stack (see 40 CFR, Part 60, Appendix B,
Specification 1, Section 7, PERFORMANCE
SPECIFICATION VERIFICATION PROCE-
DURE). It is also recommended that certain
parts of these startup procedures be repeated
once the unit is mounted on the stack or duct.
a. Turn on power to the transceiver and retro-
reflector modules immediately after their in-
stallation to the stack or duct. Refer to
Section 2 for the complete installation pro-
cedure. Turn on the purge air blowers to
ensure that both the transceiver window
and retroreflector corner cube will be kept
dirt free.
b. Turn on the power source to the intelligent
electronics and connect the HART Commu-
nicator per paragraph 3-2. Turn on the
HART Communicator and select CHECK
OPTICS from the DIAG/SERVICE menu.
Next, select the V
STACK
menu option to place
the OPM 2001 in the check optics mode.
c. Align the transceiver and retroreflector.
(Refer to Section 4 for the complete proce-
dure.) If the alignment is performed off of
the stack prior to the installation to meet the
“prior to installation” requirements of 40
CFR, Part 60, Appendix B, Specification 1,
be sure the transceiver and retroreflector
modules are spaced within 1/4 in. (6.35
mm) of the actual installed flange-to-flange
distance. Exit the CHECK OPTICS proce-
dure when alignment is complete.
d. Set up the operating parameters in the
BASIC SETUP and DETAILED SETUP
menus of the HART Communicator. Refer
to paragraphs 3-8 and 3-9 for the complete
setup procedures.
e. Enter the PROCESS VARIABLES menu
and select FLD DEVICE VOLTS per para-
graph 3-6a. Four voltages are listed: V
STACK
(stack), V
LAMP
(lamp), V
AMB
(ambient), and
V
DARK
(dark). Selecting STACK TEMPERA-
TURE displays VAD590 (ambient voltage)
and TEMP (transceiver electronics tem-
perature). These voltages and temperature
readings indicate the up-to-date levels of
these measured variables. If the stack or
duct is clear of opacity, the stack voltage
will typically be set at 2.0 volts by the fac-
tory. The lamp voltage will typically be set at
4.0 V.
NOTE
The actual ambient conditions at the
installation site may not be the same
as the factory conditions at the time of
testing. Therefore, some variations in
these two voltages will be observed
but will not affect the operation of the
opacity transmitter.
f. View the opacity reading on the HART
Communicator display online menu. Ensure
the primary variable (PV) or the secondary
variable (SV) is set to display opacity. Refer
to paragraph 3-6b. Under clear stack condi-
tions, or with zero jig installed, the opacity
should now read 0.0%. If the opacity read-
ing is other than 0.0 ±0.5%, recalibrate the
opacity transmitter.
g. Perform an offline calibration per paragraph
3-7b. Reference voltages from the last off-
line calibration are stored in the REF.
VOLTAGES submenu in the DIAG/
SERVICE menu. This stored data should be
recorded and saved for later reference
before proceeding with another offline
calibration.
