PN 9000-246-VE, Rev D
Overview
The AMETEK 5100P Analyzer is a tunable diode laser spectrometer (TDLS),
which has been designed to measure the concentration of the analyte of inter-
est in a gas-phase sample. As an optical technique, tunable diode laser absorp-
tion spectroscopy (TDLAS) has many signicant advantages over other meth-
ods of measurement that are based on the use of chemical sensors or physical
separation techniques, including:
• High sensitivity
• Specicity for analyte
• Exceptional accuracy
• No consumables (e.g., dryers, replacement sensors, etc.)
• Rapid response
• Fast recovery from an over-range condition
• Long life
Within the 5100P, a tunable diode laser (TDL) is used to produce energy at a
very specic wavelength which the analyte of interest’s molecules strongly
absorb. The radiant energy produced by the TDL passes through the Sample
gas, and any analyte molecules present in the gas stream will absorb a fraction
of this energy. By measuring the fraction of the radiant energy absorbed by the
Sample gas, the concentration of the analyte in the sample can be determined.
Measurements can be made in a variety of units, depending on the applica-
tion for which the 5100P has been congured. Refer to analyte-specic 5100P
Analyzer Manual Supplements, which include measurement units for dierent
applications.

Concentration Measurements
After the 5100P Analyzer has been powered up, the Sample gas supply line can
be connected to the optional 5100P Sample Conditioning Panel, or directly
to the 5100P Gas Analyzer, where it begins measuring the Sample gas. For
information on the concentration measurement units for the analyte being
measured, refer to the analyte-specic Manual Supplement, shipped with the
5100P Analyzer.
About the AMETEK Sample Conditioning Panel
The 5100P Analyzer uses an integrated Sample Conditioning Panel to reduce
the possibility of over-pressurizing the Measuring Cell and to remove unwant-
ed contaminants from the measuring cycle. The 5100P can operate without
this Sample Conditioning Panel in Class I, Division 2 areas.
To maintain ATEX-IECEx certication requirements, do not operate the
5100P Analyzer without the AMETEK-supplied Sample Conditioning
Panel in ATEX-IECEx hazardous locations.
The major components of the integrated sample system and their functions
are illustrated in Figure 1-2 and described in Chapter 2.

Pre-Installation Requirements
Storage Prior to Installation
If the analyzer is stored for any period of time prior to installation, store it in its
shipping case, in an environment where it is not subject to dripping or splash-
ing liquids, corrosive gases, high humidity, or excessive heat or cold. Recom-
mended storage conditions include:
Temperature: -20 to +50 °C (-4 to 122 °F)
Relative Humidity: <90 %
Failure to comply with these storage conditions will void your warranty.
Uncrating and Inspecting the Analyzer
Open the shipping and storage case the 5100P Analyzer is shipped in and
inspect the instrument for damage. If equipment is damaged, notify the carrier
and contact AMETEK Service (https://www.ametekpi.com/customersupport/
requestsupport) immediately if parts are missing or damage is found, and to
verify if damaged parts will require replacement prior to safely connecting and
operating the analyzer.
Tools, Equipment, and Supplies Required to
Connect and Prepare the 5100P for Operation
To prepare the analyzer for operation you need the following tools, equip-
ment, and supplies:
• Set of open-end wrenches for ttings.
• Detergent-based leak detector (Snoop® or another suitable leak detection
agent is permissible).
2-2 | 5100P TDLAS Analyzer

PN 9000-246-VE, Rev D
Utilities Required for the Analyzer
• AC power connection, to charge the built-in Battery Pack (International
Power Adaptor supplied.)
Charging the 5100P Analyzer Battery Pack
The 5100P Analyzer is designed for battery operation, and it is important to en-
sure that its Battery Pack has been fully charged prior to using the analyzer.
To charge the Battery Pack:
Charge the 5100P Analyzer only in non-hazardous locations.
1. Connect the Battery Charger cord to the Charger Port on the back of the
5100P Analyzer. To do this, remove the Dust Cap from the Charger Port,
and align and insert the keyed/male-threaded charger connector end into
the Charger Port. See Figure 2-1. Tighten the connector nger tight.
Use only the AMETEK provided Battery Charger (PN 7001-874-SE),
110VAC–250 VAC, 47–63 Hz, input 7.35 VDC, 2 A Output.

2. If required, connect the International Power Adaptor to the Battery Char-
ger’s power cord and use the appropriate line plug adapter (i.e., US, Euro-
pean, etc.) to plug the cord into a power outlet.
3. After the charger has been connected to the AC mains voltage, one of two
LEDs will turn on:
• The YELLOW LED indicates that the charger is in Charging mode.
• The GREEN LED indicates that the charger is connected to power.
• When the Battery Pack is fully charged, the GREEN LED will be On and
the YELLOW LED will be O.
4. Charge the 5100P for a minimum of eight (8) hours, (or overnight, if pos-
sible) prior to operating the analyzer using its Battery Pack. This should
provide 8-plus hours of continuous analyzer use. If required, the 5100P can
remain connected to the charger for an indenite period while charging.
Extending Battery Life
Because the 5100P Analyzer is designed to be operated from the internal bat-
tery pack, it is important to operate the analyzer in a manner consistent with
obtaining maximum usable battery life between charges. If used properly, a
fully charged battery will provide a minimum of eight (8) hours of operation.
Consider the following measures to maximize the operational time on a fully
charged battery:
• Turn O the power when the analyzer is not being used to measure
Sample gas.
• The backlight for the display will time out and turn O automatically, ac-
cording to the Backlight Timer setting. Set the Backlight Timer to the
shortest practical duration to avoid draining the battery. See “Changing
the Backlight Time”in Chapter 3 for information on how to set this timer.
• Temperature extremes require extra power to run the TDL spectrometer
circuitry.
The battery pack will last longer when the analyzer is operated at or
near room temperature.
• Do not store the 5100P for longer than three (3) months (90 days) without
using the analyzer, or performing a full charging cycle. Always fully charge
the battery pack (minimum of 8 hours) prior to using the analyzer.

PN 9000-246-VE, Rev D
5100P Analyzers With and Without a Sample Conditioning Panel
The 5100P Analyzer is typically supplied with a Sample Conditioning Panel –
connected to the analyzer – which provides pressure reduction, ltering, and
ow control adjustment. A Sample gas supply line is connected to the Sample
Panel using an 1/8-inch Swagelok® compression tting.
The 5100P Analyzer can be operated without the integrated Sample Condi-
tioning Panel supplied by AMETEK. However, certain conditions must be
met for systems without a Sample Conditioning Panel, as described under
“No Sample Panel” in this chapter.
At the Sample Panel Inlet, a valve is provided to isolate the analyzer from the
sample stream. Downstream of the isolation valve, a pressure regulator is used
to reduce the Sample gas pressure to the target operating pressure of the
panel.
The major components of the integrated Sample Conditioning Panel and their
functions are described below and illustrated in the Sample Panel Flow dia-
grams (Figures 2-2.1 and 2-2.2).
Component Function
Inlet Valve Use this valve to isolate the 5100P Analyzer from the Sample
Gas stream, and to allow the ow of Sample Gas into the Sample
Conditioning Panel.
Outlet Fitting/Panel
Exhaust (to instrument)
Provides the Sample Gas connection point out of the Sample
Conditioning Panel (Panel Exhaust), which ows to the Inlet port
on the 5100P Analyzer.
Regulator Available only on the Standard Pressure Sample Conditioning
Panel, use the regulator to reduce the Sample Gas pressure to
the desired operating pressure of the Sample Conditioning
Panel (typically set to 0.4–0.7 BARG/6–10 PSIG).
Gauge Displays the pressure of the Sample Gas being delivered to the
analyzer.
Filter This lter (membrane separator) removes any entrained
(trapped) liquids and particulate matter from the Sample Gas
and protects the analyzer.
Flow Meter with Valve Use this to set the Sample Gas ow to between 1–2 LPM and to
protect the analyzer.
Drain Valve Open this valve to remove liquids and particulate matter (sepa-
rated by the Filter) from the Sample Gas, before it travels to the
5100P where it is measured.
Typical setting is to turn the valve 1/8-turn counter-clockwise
from the fully closed position.
Connecting and Starting Up the 5100P |2-5

PN 9000-246-VE, Rev D
Standard Pressure Sample Panel (Typical Operation)
The Standard 5100P Sample Conditioning Panel (Figure 2-2.1) operates with a
raw Sample gas pressure of 1.03–17.2 BARG (15–250 PSIG).
Downstream of the Inlet Valve, a pressure regulator is used to reduce the
Sample gas pressure to the recommended operating pressure of the 5100P
Analyzer (0.4–0.7 BARG [6–10 PSIG]).
The Sample gas passes through the Filter (membrane separator) to remove
any entrained (trapped) liquids and particulate matter before the gas passes
through the Flow Meter.
