600 Series HFID Quick Start Guide
Note: DO NOT energize the sample pump or introduce any moisture-containing
sample until the oven has reached an operating temperature of at least 100°C.
1. Connect analyzer to AC power (115 VAC 60 Hz OR 230 VAC 50 Hz , ±10%) and turn
on main power switch that is located on the back panel.
2. Connect combustion air, combustion fuel, zero gas and span gas through the back
panel. Set supply pressures to 20-25 psig.
This analyzer uses a fuel that contains a FLAMMABLE LEVEL OF HYDROGEN.
Any leakage from this fuel can result in an explosion. Carefully check the fuel
supply system, to the analyzer for leaks upon installation, before initial start-up. The
operating technician should be properly trained for work with hazardous materials.
Note: The analyzer uses pure H2 OR a H2/He mixture as indicated on the back
panel and identified as combustion fuel. Serious damage may occur if the incorrect
fuel is used.
Note: Purge fuel line at the analyzer to remove any residual air in the line to aid
in flame ignition.
3. Press and release F8 IGNITE on the main menu to initiate the ignition sequence.
Note: If the Burner fails to ignite a Burner Temp Failure message displays at the
bottom of the screen.
4. Use at least an Extended User Operator Level-3 password for access to the screen
needed to define the value of the span gas that will be used for calibration (See
Section 5.)
5. From the Main Menu, press F5, Setup.
6. Press F1, Range Select.
7. Select the appropriate range for the span gas that is connected to the analyzer and
enter the concentration value of the gas.
Note: The four ranges are specified by the customers order. When not otherwise
defined, the factory default ranges are, 30, 300, 3,000, and 30,000 ppm.
8. Press BACK to return to the SETUP screen.
9. Press F2, Calibration Settings.
10. Press F3 if calibrating using the optional internal solenoids or F5 if calibrating with an
internal or system supplied sample pump.
11. Press Main to return to the Main Menu
12. Press F4, Calibrations, and then press F2, Manual Calibrations.
13. Press F1 to Flow Zero or F2 to Flow Span Gas and observe the displayed results.
14. Press F1 to save the appropriate zero and span calibration values.

FILTER HOUSING MAINTENANCE
1) Whenever the Filter Element is replace ALWAYS apply a fairly liberal
coating of silicone lubricant to the threads of the Filter Housing before re-assembly to
prevent galling and seizing of the threads.
NOTE: Use a silicone lubricant that is free of Hydrocarbons to eliminate
measurement errors and contaminate the analyzer
2) ALWAYS, use a second wrench on the body of the Filter Housing when attempting to
Inspect or replace the filter.
3) NEVER attempt to disassemble the Filter Housing while it is hot. Always allow it to
cool to room temperature before attempting any maintenance.
4) NEVER attempt to re-assemble the Filter housing when it is hot. Re-assembly
must ONLY be performed when the analyzer is at room temperature.
5) DO NOT over-tighten. The sealing of the Filter Housing is
accomplished by the o-ring. Re-assembly should be made 'just past finger tight' and only when
the Filter Housing is at room temperature.

1.6. Possible Explosion Hazard
This analyzer uses a fuel that contains a FLAMMABLE LEVEL OF HYDROGEN. Any
leakage from this fuel can result in an explosion. Carefully check the fuel supply system, to the
analyzer for leaks upon installation, before initial start-up, during any maintenance or after the
integrity of the system is broken.
Do not apply power to the analyzer or attempt to ignite the burner until performing ALL
leak checks and until determining the analyzer environment to be non-hazardous.
Use this analyzer in a NON-HAZARDOUS environment.
This analyzer has not been designed for use with a hazardous sample.
Tampering or use of substitute components may cause a safety hazard. Use only factory
authorized replacement parts.
1.7. Electrical Shock Hazard
Do not operate without the cover secured. Servicing requires access to live electrical
circuits that can cause death or serious injury. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
For safety and proper performance, connect this instrument to a properly grounded three-wire
receptacle.
1.8. Fuel Requirements
The CAI factory configures the Model 600 MHFID for either 100% Hydrogen or 40%/60%
Hydrogen/Helium Fuel. Please make sure to use the CORRECT fuel (as specified on the fuel
label affixed on the back panel of the analyzer.)
Use of incorrect fuel WILL damage the instrument and COULD cause an explosion.
1.9. Potential Sample Pump Damage
The analyzer can be calibrated using the optional zero and span gas ports located on the
back panel. It can also be calibrated using the internal sample pump; HOWEVER, care must
be taken to assure that the sample pump is not exposed to excessive pressure using this
calibration method. Any pressure exceeding 2.0 psig can result in a NON-WARRANTY failure.

1.10. Removing Protective Caps
Do not apply AC power to this analyzer until removing the plastic ¼-inch caps from the
sample/zero/span/fuel fittings on the rear panel. Failure to remove these caps will result in
analyzer contamination.
