1 DESCRIPTION AND DEFINITIONS
1.1 Scope of this manual
This manual provides installation, operation and routine maintenance instruction
for the Servomex SERVOPRO FID Online Total Hydrocarbons analyser,
abbreviated SERVOPRO FID where applicable in the remainder of this manual.
1.2 Safety information
Read this manual and ensure that you fully understand its content before you
attempt to install, use or maintain the SERVOPRO FID. Important safety
information is highlighted in this manual as WARNINGs and CAUTIONs, which
are used as follows.
WARNING
Warnings highlight specific hazards which, if not taken into
account, may result in personal injury or death.
CAUTION
Caution highlight hazards which, if not taken into account, can result in
damage to the SERVOPRO FID or other equipment or property.
This manual also incorporates “Be aware of” information, which is used as
follows:
This highlights information which it is useful for you to be aware of
(for example, specific operating conditions, and so on).
1.3 Description
WARNING
Improper installation, operation or service of this analyser may
cause damage to the analyser and void the manufacturer’s warranty
WARNING
This analyser is used to measure a sample that may be explosive
and the fuel used by the detector is flammable.

SERVOPRO FID Online Total Hydrocarbons Analyser
SERVOPRO FID 01000001A rev:5 8
WARNING
All connections must be properly connected and leak free.
Improper gas connection could result in explosion or death.
WARNING
This analyser is not designed to be used for safety critical
measurements and shall not be used as primary measurement in
safety critical measurement. Validation and Calibration procedure
must be suitable for the application.
WARNING
Do not operate unless the cabinet is securely closed. Servicing this
instrument implies possible exposure to shock hazard level
voltages which cause death or serious injury.
WARNING
The analyser must not be used as personal protective equipment
WARNING
This analyser is not a medical device as defined in the medical
devices directive 93/42/EEC and is not intended to be used on
human beings for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment
or alleviation of disease, injury or replacement or modification of
the anatomy.
The SERVOPRO FID is a rackmount analyser to be used in fixed installations. It
is used to measure the hydrocarbons contained in the sample.
The SERVOPRO FID uses a FID detector to measure the content of
hydrocarbons. Because the FID is a carbon counter, it will have a different
response to different types of hydrocarbons. The SERVOPRO FID is calibrated in

SERVOPRO FID Online Total Hydrocarbons Analyser
SERVOPRO FID 01000001A rev:5 9
the factory with a sample containing methane. Consequently, the measurement is
a methane equivalent1.
The SERVOPRO FID is simple to operate, with an intuitive user interface (see
Section 4).
Gas sample measurement is shown on the SERVOPRO FID display, and can also
be output to a serial device connected to the SERVOPRO FID (optional), or as
milliamp (mA) output.
1.4 Sample measurement configurations
The SERVOPRO FID can be supplied to measure hydrocarbons in 5 different
backgrounds. According to the background, the type of fuel can differ.

Table 1 : List of available backgrounds
1.5 Other product options
The standard SERVOPRO FID can be supplied with the following options:
•One RS-232 output
•Alarm relays (up to 2)
1The SERVOPRO FID will give a response to other hydrocarbons that is proportional to the
number of hydrocarbons contain in the molecule. However, it will not necessarily be linearly
proportional because of incomplete hydrocarbon oxidation of larger molecules.

WARNING
You must install and use the SERVOPRO FID in accordance with
the requirements of this section and subsequent sections of the
manual. If you do not, the protection facilities incorporated into the
design of the SERVOPRO FID may not operate as intended,
sample gas measurements may not be accurate, or the SERVOPRO
FID may be damaged.

5The zero calibration gas must be of the same type as the ordered background. For example, a
SERVOPRO FID measuring hydrocarbons in argon must be calibrated with a pure argon sample
gas.
6A hydrocarbon trap must be used in order to remove all hydrocarbons.
7The span gas must of the same background as the ordered background.
8The suggested amount of methane in the sample is at least 80% of the range in use. If the range
0-1000 ppm is used, a sample containing at least 800 ppm of methane is required.

3 UNPACKING THE SERVOPRO FID
1. Remove the SERVOPRO FID and any other equipment from its packing.
2. Remove the wrapping plastic.
3. Remove protective caps from inlets.
4. Remove protective cap from exhaust.
5. Inspect the SERVOPRO FID and other items supplied, and check that they are
not damaged. If any item is damaged, immediately contact Servomex or your
local Servomex agent.
6. If you do not intend to use the SERVOPRO FID immediately:
oRefit protective caps on inlets and exhaust.
oPlace the SERVOPRO FID and any other equipment supplied back in
its protective packing.
oStore the SERVOPRO FID as described in Section 8.
Otherwise, read section 4 (User Interface), then continue at Sections 5
onwards to install, set up, and use the SERVOPRO FID.
Retain the shipping documentation and packaging for future use (for
example, return of the SERVOPRO FID to Servomex for servicing
or repair).
CAUTION
You must remove the protective covers as specified in Steps 3 and 4 above
before you use the SERVOPRO FID. If you do not, you may damage the
SERVOPRO FID when you try to pass gases through it.
