Model 6020 User Manual

Product catalog summary
General Information
The Model 6020 is a sophisticated dewpoint hygrometer suitable for multi-species gases and natural gas. It features a large LED display, a four-button keypad, selectable engineering units, hot keys for quick access, visual alarms, an AutoCal function for sensor calibration, and options for digital output and external alarms. It is available in both AC and DC powered models.
Safety Information
The Model 6020 operates at hazardous voltages and must be earthed. It requires a 1 amp fuse and should not be connected to power if damaged. Installation should be performed by qualified personnel, and the unit must be isolated before maintenance. The device should not be exposed to water or harsh cleaners.
User Interface and Controls
The interface includes a membrane keyboard with four keys and visual indicators for alarms and units. The primary display shows the current moisture value, while alarms are indicated by LEDs and remote signaling.
Quick Start Guide
For a quick setup, follow these steps: unpack the unit, read safety instructions, prepare the installation site, wire the display unit, insert the sensor, purge the gas, check connections, and power up the unit. Allow the display to stabilize before taking readings.
Outline Specification
The Model 6020 has specific moisture and temperature range limits. The enclosure is DIN style with specific dimensions for panel installation.
Installation
Mechanical installation requires a specific cut-out size and panel thickness for weatherproof sealing. Electrical installation involves connecting the sensor input, adjusting the cable compensation potentiometer, and ensuring proper wiring for power supply and communication ports.
Air/Gas Sampling System Installation
The piping schematic includes components like isolation valves, sample tubes, and filter units. The sample should be free of contaminants to avoid sensor damage. The sensor should be installed in a bypass or fast loop for easy maintenance.
Pressure Reduction and Sample System Setup
The setup for a sample system using the Model 6020 Dewpoint Hygrometer specifies the use of pressure reduction valves depending on whether measurements are taken at atmospheric or full line pressure. A sample pressure gauge is optional but recommended for dew/frost point measurements above atmospheric pressure. The system includes a desiccant chamber for intermittent sampling to prevent moisture ingress, and a flow control valve to maintain a recommended sample flow of 2 to 3 litres/min at NTP.
Installation and Commissioning
Before installing the sensor, an initial purge of the sample loop is advised to prevent sensor damage. The procedure involves slowly opening the inlet isolation valve to allow a small flow of air/gas, purging for 15 to 20 minutes, and then installing the sensor. The system may take several hours to reach equilibrium upon initial start-up.
AutoCal Calibration
The AutoCal calibration process for sensors with ranges up to +20°C and 0°C dewpoint involves comparing the Model 6020 reading with an external measurement method and adjusting the Autocal potentiometer accordingly. The system is designed to maintain a constant reading at maximum moisture levels.
Entering Numerical Data
Instructions are provided for entering numerical values into the Model 6020, including setting alarm levels and changing units. The process involves using specific keys to navigate and set values, with options to view and alter displayed units.
Setup Menu and Configuration
The setup menu allows configuration of various parameters such as moisture units, pressure units, temperature units, and gas type. Detailed instructions are provided for navigating the menu and setting these parameters, including enabling/disabling natural gas measurements and sensor linearisation.
Sensor Range and Linearisation
The document explains how to select and view sensor ranges, including the option to view and edit linearisation data points. It provides a table of dew point ranges for different sensor colors and instructions for entering new calibration data.

Safety Information and Warnings These safety instructions and guidelines must be followed. The Model 6020 is designed to be connected to hazardous electric voltages (240V). The power supply must be protected by a 1 amp fuse. The Model 6020 must be earthed. Check to establish that all wiring and connections are not damaged. If damage is observed to any electrical wiring or damage to the apparatus they must not be connected to the power supply but returned to the supplier for rectification. Before powering up the unit, check that the connecting plugs at the back of the unit have been wired correctly....

Installing the air/gas sampling system The piping installation schematic diagram (see section 7.1) shows all components that could be used in a dry gas measurement application. Not all the items shown will be required for every installation. Care should be taken to ensure that the sample presented to the measuring sensor is not contaminated with any component that will damage, contaminate or affect the sensor in a way that will impair the system accuracy. It is strongly recommended that the sample should not contain particulate matter, oil or other heavy hydrocarbon condensate. If these components...
