INTRODUCTION

The Jerome

®

J505 Mercury Vapor Analyzer is an ambient air analyzer with a range of 0.05 to 500 micrograms of mercury vapor per cubic meter (µg/m

3

Hg). The instrument uses atomic fluorescence spectroscopy for mercury analysis, which allows the detection cell to be simpler, smaller, more durable and lighter weight than competing spectroscopy instruments. A smaller optical cell also requires less flow to purge the system, allowing the J505 to run at a lower flow rate than competing spectroscopy instruments. A low flow rate is essential for accurate low-level mercury detection because higher flow reduces the ability to pinpoint the source and dilutes the sample stream, negatively affecting instrument accuracy.

CAUTION

The J505 is for non-condensing gaseous vapor use only.

DO NOT expose the probe or instrument's intake to any liquid, dust, or other foreign material.

The J505 is designed for easy operation for quick and accurate analysis of mercury vapor levels.

It has few maintenance requirements. However, please take a moment to read this manual before operating the instrument. If you have any questions about your application or operation, please call AZI Customer Service at (800) 528-7411 or (602) 470-1414 or e-mail [email protected]

5. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The J505 uses atomic fluorescence spectroscopy for mercury analysis. As shown below, a mercury light source is energized to emit light at a 254nm wavelength into a sample cell.

Mercury atoms absorb light with a 254nm wavelength. When a mercury atom in the sample cell absorbs the light, it is re-emitted at the same wavelength. A photo multiplier tube (PMT) is used to measure the light emitted at 90° to the source, which correlates to mercury concentration.

During instrument operation, ambient air is drawn through the intake by the pump at a nominal flow rate of one liter/minute. The sampled air then flows through either a scrubber filter and then into the sample cell or directly into the sample cell, as controlled by the valve, as shown below.

In the sample cell, the air sample is exposed to light with a 254nm wavelength. Any mercury present will absorb and then re-emit the light, and the re-emission is measured by the PMT. The

PMT response during scrubbed flow is subtracted from the response during sample flow. The result correlates to mercury vapor concentration, which is calculated and displayed.

After analysis, the sample air is routed through the exhaust scrubber to absorb any mercury before the sample stream is discharged.

The instrument is designed and calibrated to elemental mercury vapor only.

6.5. Test Modes

The J505 has three test modes: Search, Quick and Standard. The desired test mode is selected using the MODE softkey on the Main Screen. As shown below, Standard provides the greatest

resolution by utilizing a slightly longer sample time. Refer to §4 TECHNICAL

SPECIFICATIONS on page 7 for complete details on the differences in sample time and

resolution between the test modes.

The difference in resolution between Quick and Standard test mode is also reflected in the number of decimal places shown on the Test Results screen, as shown below.

AZI Customer Service 800-528-7411 or 602-470-1414 Page 13 of 28

Search mode provides a stream of continuous relative readings that are displayed on the instrument but not saved in data storage.

After Standard or Quick mode testing has determined that an area is contaminated, Search mode can be used to quickly locate the source of contamination. In Search mode, an initial zero reference reading is obtained, and then continuous readings are updated each second. Over a period of minutes, the mercury readings will drift slowly lower until clean air is sampled or testing is halted and restarted. The drift occurs only in Search Mode. Standard and Quick modes provide accurate individual readings.

6.11. Service Menu

The Service Menu is used to view detailed battery information, access distributor contact information or view instrument usage statistics, as explained in the following sections.

6.12. Battery Info Screen & Battery Management

The Battery Info screen displays detailed battery status.

The most important information is the

“Capacity (mA*hr)”. A battery with greater than 2,700 mA*hr typically provides 10 or more hours of instrument operation when autosampling at five-minute intervals. As the battery ages, the capacity slowly drops.

The “Drain (mA*hr)” and “Capacity

(mA*hr)” are used to determine the battery charge level, which is displayed on the Main

Screen as bars (5 maximum) in the battery icon.

The battery capacity is calculated when the battery is fully discharged.

To update the battery capacity once a year:

• Turn on the instrument,

• Fully charge the instrument,

• Disconnect external power,

• Allow the instrument to fully discharge

When fully discharged, the instrument will automatically save the battery capacity and turn off.

Afterwards, charge the instrument and use as normal.

Note: the battery will not charge if the battery temperature is greater than 40 °C.

The battery pack uses NiMH chemistry, which will self-discharge over several months. If the instrument is not used for a month or longer, plug the instrument in every month to recharge or leave it plugged in when not in use. Leaving the instrument unplugged for several months will damage the battery capacity.

6.13. Distributor Information Screen

The Distributor screen displays a name and contact phone number for Arizona Instrument or one of our authorized distributors or instrument rental companies.

The information on this screen is edited in the same fashion as other text fields, using either the instrument keypad or a USB keyboard.

6.14. Usage Info Screen

The Usage Info screen displays instrument samples and hours powered up since the last factory service, as shown.

7. MAINTENANCE

7.1. Zero Air Filter

The Zero Air Filter (AZI P/N Z2600 3905) can be used to verify proper instrument operation.

The Zero Air Filter removes mercury vapor from the air sample. Readings with the filter installed should be less than 0.05 μg/m

3

. If readings with the filter installed are not below 0.05µg/m

3

,

change the intake fritware filter. See 7.3 Flow System on page 22 for instructions.

7.2. Preventive Maintenance Schedule

To keep the instrument operating at peak performance, follow the maintenance schedule below as a guide. Because maintenance is more a function of application and amount of use rather than time, your requirements may be different from the listed schedule. Call AZI Customer Service at

800-528-7411 or 602-470-1414, or e-mail [email protected]

for additional guidance for your environment and operation.

There are no user serviceable components or assemblies inside the J505 and the instrument should not be opened except by factory-authorized technicians at Arizona Instrument. Unauthorized opening of the instrument will void the instrument warranty.

AZI Customer Service 800-528-7411 or 602-470-1414 Page 21 of 28

7.3. Flow System

The flow system is the crucial link between the sample cell and the test environment. For the instrument to perform correctly, the flow system must be properly maintained. The only user maintainable component of this system is the intake fritware filter.

Replace the fritware filter once each week or as needed. In dusty environments, the fritware filter may need to be replaced on a daily basis. Replacement fritware filters are available from AZI

Consumable Sales at 800-528-7411 or 602-470-1414 as AZI part number 345-0241.

• NOTE: It is not necessary to open the instrument to change the fritware filter.

• Turn the instrument off.

• Unscrew the knurled intake by hand and remove it. (The fritware is housed in the knurled intake).

(Fig. 1)

• Insert the tweezers included with the instrument into the small end of the knurled intake and gently apply pressure to push the old fritware filter out through the larger end of the intake.

(Fig. 2).

If necessary, use the tweezers to finish pulling the fritware filter out through the larger end of the intake.

• Insert a new fritware filter through the large end of the intake so that the smoother, flatter side of the fritware will be facing out of the instrument. Keep the fritware flat and gently press it into the threaded hole using the backend of the tweezers.

(Fig. 3).

Re-installing the intake in the next step will properly position the fritware behind the o-ring, so it is not necessary to press the fritware all the way in by hand.

• Screw the knurled intake back on to the J505.

(Fig.4)

This will seat the fritware behind the oring in the intake.

Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4

The other internal filters should only be replaced by the factory. Opening the instrument case or attempting to change or remove the internal filters will void the instrument warranty.

Internal filters contain Resisorb

8. CALIBRATION

8.1. Factory Calibration Service

The interval between calibrations depends upon the application and frequency of use; however, the recommended interval is every 12 months.

The instrument has been factory calibrated using laboratory equipment containing NIST traceable permeation tubes. In order to calibrate the instrument, a sophisticated calibration system is required that ensures stability of the calibration gas source, eliminates any pressure in the calibration gas stream, and controls the temperature of the calibration environment.

We strongly recommend you take advantage of our calibration and maintenance service at

Arizona Instrument. Service includes filter replacement, component testing, and instrument calibration to NIST traceable standards. A certificate of calibration is issued from AZI when your instrument is factory calibrated.

For scheduling and shipping authorization, call AZI Customer Service at

(800) 528-7411 or (602) 470-1414 or visit our website at www.azic.com

9. INTERFERENCES

In general, interferences to the Jerome

®

J505 Mercury Vapor Analyzer are minimal. Testing has shown a negligible instrument response to chlorine, ammonia, humidity/water vapor and gasoline vapors.

While instrument response to humidity is negligible, moving the instrument from an air conditioned environment to one of higher temperature and humidity may cause condensation on some of the optical surfaces. For best results, it is recommended to allow the instrument to equilibrate to ambient conditions before testing. The PURGE softkey can also be used to flush the instrument and accelerate environmental acclimation.

The J505 has a slight response to acetone vapor. In an environment with a high concentration of gaseous acetone (≈1100 ppmv acetone), instrument response is approximately 100 nanograms/m
