4Features and Measurement Theory
The analyzeris a cavity-basedspectroscopy instrument. The analyzer’s cavity
design enhances the absorption of laser light by the target gas molecule. This
enhancement improves the signal-to-noise ratio over conventional laser sensors
enabling trace gas measurement and sensitive monitoring. The type of gas the
analyzer can measure is based upon the laser wavelength used. There are various
models, each targeting gases that variousindustries monitor. All measurements
are real-time.
Main Features
The analyzer’s main features are:
Measurement and processing time up to 10 Hz
Reduced data cross-interference
Sensitivity up to ppb
Connection Ports
This section describes the connections shown in Figure 6. These connections vary
from analyzer to analyzer depending on the ordered configuration.
Figure 6: Connection Ports

ABB GLA131Series Microportable Analyzers User Manual
ABB PROPRIETARY INFORMATION 18
Gas Inlet and Outlet
Gas to be measured is connected to the ¼ inch push-connect
IN port.
The acceptable inlet gas-pressure range is 0 to 15 psig.
The ¼ inch push-connectOUT port may:
Remain open, expelling non-hazardous gas into the air,
Be routed to a different location or system, or
Be recirculated through an enclosed gas-flux chamber.
Power
The analyzer is operational for up to 3 hours when using the internal battery only.
The battery may be recharged using the AC/DC power supply to the DC power
inlet. This power supply contains a 10 A 32 V DCautomotive fuse inside the external
power-input harness.
There is also an optional battery charger (ACC-MICRO-BC) when extra batteries
need to be charged outside the analyzer.
WARNING! Do not use a battery other than the battery provided by ABB.
Data Interface
USB ports – Used to transfer data to a USB memory device or connect a USB
keyboard and mouse.
Serial port (9 pin D-sub) – For real-time digital measurement output.
Video port (15 pin D-sub) – Connects an external monitor to the analyzer.
MIU port (9 pin D-sub) – For connecting to a Multiport Inlet Unit (optional).
Provided with cable for connection to an MIU data port.
Ethernet port – Connects the analyzer to a local area network (LAN) and
allows access to thedata directory using an external computer.
Modbus TCP - For reading analyzer process variables and health status via a
Modbus master using the Modbus TCP version of the protocol.

ABB GLA131Series Microportable Analyzers User Manual
ABB PROPRIETARY INFORMATION 19
Plumbing Diagram
The internal flow of gas through the analyzer is shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7: Plumbing Diagram
The gas enters the sample inlet (IN) and is initially filtered through a 5 µm screen
filter. It then enters the optional pressure controller, which regulates the pressure
to maintain a specific set point. Before the gas travels through the optical cell to
the pump, it passes through anadditional filter that is greater than 95% efficient
at removing particles that are 0.01 µm diameter or larger. Finally, thegas passes
through a second 5 µm screen filter before the pump as it exits through thewaste
(OUT) port.
