Trademarks Honeywell Vertex SF Chemcassette General Safety Follow all installation and operational instructions to ensure the safe and reliable operation of this unit. If this monitor is used in a manner not specified by Honeywell Analytics Inc., the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. EMC Considerations Your Honeywell Analytics continuous gas monitor has been designed to comply with applicable Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards at the time of manufacture. The design includes filtering, shielding and bypassing techniques. At the time of certification, simulated customer Input/ Output (I/O) schemes were tested. All methods used in your equipment for emission suppression and reduction of susceptibility are interactive. Modifications to the monitor could result in increased emissions and higher vulnerability to other radiated fields. Following the guidelines in this EMC Considerations section will ensure your monitor maintains the highest degree of EMC integrity. The guidelines listed apply only to I/O emissions and do not apply to A.C. and D.C. monitor power connections.

Vertex SF System 9 User Manual Cabling At a very minimum, all cables should include a braided shield. Ideal results have been obtained with twisted pair cabling which has a foil shield surrounding each pair plus foil and 90% braid shielding around the bundle. In addition, ensure local electrical code requirements are met. The following cable parameters must be considered:
Braid Foil Must have a minimum 90% coverage When used with braid, provides 100% coverage. Do not use foil alone. It has a tendency to break. Twisted Pair Provides for cancelling of magnetic fields Stranded Pair Provides the greatest surface area Continuation of the shield to the cabinet earth ground is most important. Shield Termination For discrete wire terminations, pigtails to the cabinet (connector) ground should be extremely short (absolutely no greater than three inches). For multiconductor connector terminations, only 360 shielded shells should be used. Note:
Honeywell Analytics product testing uses >90% braid with foil (around the bundle); twisted pair;
stranded 24 AWG (minimum wiring for all qualification and certification testing.) Connectors All qualification and certification of Honeywell Analytics products were achieved with high quality connectors, providing 360 shield coverage. These connectors generally had metal shells. Failure to properly secure the connector to the equipment will result in high emission levels. Also, poorly constructed or improperly assembled connectors can be a high source of radiated noise and provide a path for external signals into the monitor. Vertex SF System 10 User Manual Introduction Learn what you need to know about the Honeywell Vertex SF Continuous Monitor System before operating. System Overview The Honeywell Analytics Vertex SF System continuously monitors for toxic gases. It responds to gases that exceed programmed levels by:
Triggering alarms and opening event windows to warn operators of high or low concentrations Triggering relays to external devices Displaying the location, gas type and gas concentration Storing the alarm information in a database The Vertex SF System provides fast response to a wide range of gases. Each location may be up to 400 ft (122 m) from the Vertex SF System. The system uses one or more of Honeywell Analytics Chemcassette analyzers, with or without pyrolyzer, to provide a monitoring system tailored to meet the requirements of the facility. The Vertex SF System incorporates a range of redundant and protective features for maximum uptime:
Intelligent analyzer modules allow one to stop monitoring with no effect on the remaining modules Power supplies are redundant The system powers up in the same state as when powered down Filters, Chemcassettes and major components in one of the analyzers can be replaced while the remaining analyzers continue to function. Operation can be through an LCD touch screen or through a local area network (LAN). Chemcassette is a registered trademark of Honeywell Analytics, Inc.

Product label Vertex SF System 13 User Manual Chemcassette Detection System The Chemcassette Analyzer module is a self- contained, microprocessor controlled analyzer that occupies one slot in a Vertex tier. Sample lines and the vacuum source are connected to the Chemcassette via a single 10-tube connector. The system powers up in the same state as when powered down. Data is stored in the modules memory until the data acquisition computer retrieves it. The Vertex Analyzer modules use the Honeywell Analytics Chemcassette optical detection system. Analyzer modules sample and detect a specific gas or family of gases. Each eight-point Analyzer module:
Manages Chemcassette tape transport Provides optical detection of stain Directs sample flow through the Chemcassette Stores data for retrieval by the data acquisition computer Components of the detection system include:
Chemcassette detection tape Optics and electronics for the detection system Chemcassette tape transport mechanism Self adjusting manual needle valve Detector Optics The heart of the Chemcassette module is an optical detection system that measures a stain that develops on the Chemcassette tape in the presence of a target gas. Each eight-point Analyzer module has two detection heads, each with four individual detectors. Stain Pattern The following chart shows the stain pattern of sample detection on the Chemcassette tape. Vertex SF System 14 User Manual When monitoring a location, the system detects and measures a specific gas or a family of gases in the sample. The microprocessor in the analyzer module interprets the data and responds appropriately. In the Closed Loop Optics (CLO) detection system, a reference detector monitors and controls the intensity of the LED. Vertex SF System 15 User Manual The microprocessor in the Chemcassette analyzer module interprets the stain. It then calculates and stores a precise concentration level in the modules memory. Gas concentrations are reported in parts-per-million (ppm), parts-per- billion (ppb) or milligrams-per-cubic-meter (mg/
m3). Chemcassette tapes are tagged with a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag to automatically identify the following:
Chemcassette Tapes Serial number Gas family/ tape type Revision level Expiration date of the tape Chemcassette leader parameters The module uses a leader on the Chemcassette tape to allow calibration of the optics every time a new tape is installed. This feature can be bypassed. Vertex SF System 16 User Manual Install an Analyzer 1. Reach into the slot and position cables out of the way. 2. Place analyzer on slides. Push in until locks engage. 3. Slide Analyzer out until fully extended. 4. Reach behind the analyzer; connect and lock the tubing harness. NOTE When reconnecting the analyzer, connect the Analyzer Communications cable to the analyzer first. 5. Connect the Analyzer Communications, 24V Power Supply, Multifunction Connector. 6. Carefully push analyzer partially into the cabinet and then pull out to verify all cables move freely and the slides lock. Repeat in and out action to loosen slide. Push analyzer into cabinet. Return to Service 1. Turn analyzer power switch on. 2. Re-install the Configuration Profile. 3. Install the Chemcassette. 4.
