2.2 The 6200A Sulfides Analyzer
The TAI Model 6200A Sulfides Analyzer, is designed to measure mixed sulfur impurities, collectively
referred to as TRS, in carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. Since there is no SO2 scrubber in the system, the
instrument reading is the sum of the reduced sulfur compounds and SO2. The 6200A consists of a
modified 6200A UV Fluorescence SO2Analyzer and a M501TRS high temperature quartz converter.
The M501TRS converts sulfur compounds to SO2at high temperature by flowing the gas through a hot
quartz tube, the resultant reaction is as follows:
TRS + O2--> SO2
Since the gas being analyzed is CO2, which generally contains no oxygen, there is an assembly that injects
a small amount of air into the sample stream resulting in about 4% oxygen in the sample. The added
oxygen allows the sulfur compounds to be oxidized to SO2. Any SO2 present in the sample is unaffected
by the converter. The sample gas then passes to a modified 6200A analyzer where the converted
compounds are analyzed as SO2.
2.3 Configurations
There are three configurations available:
1. The standard unit consisting of:
•A modified 6200A Fluorescent SO2 Analyzer
•A M501TRS High Temperature Converter

2.4 The M501TRS – Total Reduced Sulfur Converter
The M501TRS oxidizes reduced sulfur compounds to SO2 in a high temperature quartz oven.
Power to the heater is controlled by a front panel mounted programmable temperature controller. Power
to the heater is switched by a solid state switch. An over-temperature alarm contact closure is located on
the rear panel. The alarm set point is adjustable in the temperature controller. The heater temperature is
sensed by a Type K (chromel-alumel) thermocouple probe inserted in the bore alongside the quartz tube.
The quartz tube carrying the sample mixture runs through the core of the heater and is heated by radiation
from electrical heating elements at the heater bore surface. See Figure 2.4 for a layout view of the
converter.
WARNING !
INSURE PROPER LINE VOLTAGE IS SELECTED PRIOR
TO PLUGGING UNIT INTO POWER SOURCE.

2.5 Installation
The 6200A comes in two chassis. There is a power cord for each that should be plugged into the correct
voltage and frequency receptacle. See the tag on the rear panel of each chassis for the voltage and
frequency settings. The power connection must be made by an approved three-wire-grounded power cord.
The pneumatic connections are shown in Figure 2.5.
•Connection to the TRS analyzer must be made with Teflon or stainless steel tubing.
•Connect the sample inlet to the labeled fitting.
•The sample exhaust must be routed to a well ventilated area away from the air inlet for the zero
air scrubber on the rear panel.
The overall pneumatic diagrams of the Model 6200A are shown in Figures 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3.

2.6 Operation and Calibration
Refer to the 6200A manual for the overall operation of the SO2 analyzer. This unit has some unique
operating characteristics and calibration procedures detailed below.
2.6.1 Calibration Theory
The basic purpose of this instrument is to analyze CO2 sample gas for sulfur containing impurities.
Unlike similar analysis, there is not any zero air available. The following procedure will to allow the
instrument to be zeroed and spanned using the CO2 sample gas that may contain impurities.
The CO2 gas used for zero air is routed from the sample inlet through a charcoal scrubber to remove any
SO2 present.
This gas then passes through the converter and into the reaction cell for measurement. When the signal is
stable, the value Z1 is stored.
Since there are numerous other sulfur containing gasses, it is not possible to determine how well the
charcoal will scrub compounds other than SO2. A 3-way valve is used to bypass the M501TRS converter,
so the sample gas now passes through a charcoal scrubber, then directly to the reaction cell.
The instrument is allowed to collect data with the converter bypassed and this reading is stored as Z2.
This is the actual instrument zero reading.
Span calibration uses span gas generated by a H2S permeation tube, which has been diluted by scrubbed
CO2 described above.
During this phase, the converter MUST be in the pneumatic pathway so the H2S can be oxidized to SO2
and thus measured. However, the converter will not only convert the H2S, but also any impurities that
were not scrubbed by the charcoal, thus producing an anomalously high reading. (If there is no additional
impurities in the CO2 gas, the correction factor will be zero.)
To correct for this error, the software computes a span correction by the following equation:
Z3 = Z1 - Z2
Where:Z2 = Zero reading with the converter bypassed.
Z1 = Zero reading with the converter in place
Z3 = Zero gas impurity correction factor

TAI - Thermal Converter Operator Manual - Page 13
When the span gas reading stabilizes, Z3 is subtracted from the span reading, yielding the actual H2S span
gas value as follows:
[H2S]Actual = [H2S]Apparent – Z3
Where:Z3 = Zero gas impurity correction factor
[H2S]Apparent = Analyzer response to H2S perm tube + impurities in the zero air.
[H2S]Actual = H2S span reading corrected for impurities in zero air.
The [H2S]Actual is the reading used to compute the span concentration.
2.6.2 Zero and Span Calibration Procedure
The following is a concise summary of the steps required to zero and span calibrate the 6200A. Please
refer to the standard 6200A manual for a more complete description of the calibration procedure.
Table 2.2 – Zero Calibration Procedure

1. Press CALZ With sample gas flowing into the sample inlet of the
instrument, press CALZ, which routes sample air into the
charcoal scrubber.
2. Press ZERO ZERO starts Phase 1 of the zero calibration procedure,
allowing zero to be measured with the converter in the
pneumatic pathway. Allow 10 min for stable zero.
3. Press ENTR After allowing the instrument to stabilize, press ENTR, to
store the Z1 zero value with the converter in the pathway.
The ZERO key now re-appears, which starts Phase 2
of the zero calibration. Allow 10 min for stable zero.
4. Press ENTR The converter is not in the pathway. Allow the
instrument to stabilize on the new zero value, then press
ENTR to store the Z2 zero value.
5. Press EXIT Returns instrument to SAMPLE mode.

Number Action Comment
1. Press CALS With sample gas flowing into the sample inlet of the
instrument, press CALS, which routes sample air into the
charcoal scrubber, then over the H2S permeation tube.
2. Press SPAN With the converter in the pathway, the instrument will
respond to H2S from the perm tube plus any impurities in
the zero air.
3. Press ENTR After allowing the instrument to stabilize, press ENTR.
The instrument will use the span reading, corrected for
impurities, to compute the actual H2S span value.
4. Press EXIT Returns instrument to SAMPLE mode.
2.7 M501TRS Temperature Controller
The heater temperature is maintained by a front panel-mounted programmable controller. The “Fuji
Electric PXZ Series Operation Manual” is included with the documentation for this instrument. The
controller has been set up at the factory. Should further adjustments be necessary, a brief summary of the
operation of the controller is included.
By pressing the PV/SV button in the lower left corner of the controller, you can see the Present Value
“PV” (actual temperature) or the Set Value “SV” (Set point Value).
2.7.1 Changing the Temperature Set Point
The temperature can be adjusted to optimize conversion efficiency, follow these steps:
1. Select SV with the PV/SV button,
2. Select the Set-Point value at approximately 960oC by Press the "up-arrow" under the digit you
want to change, (the digit will flash).
NOTE:
DO NOT SET THE TEMPERATURE HIGHER THAN 1050OC

TAI - Thermal Converter Operator Manual - Page 15
3. Press the "up-arrow" under the digit or the "down-arrow" at the left to scroll the digit to the
desired value.
4. Repeat for the other two digits,
5. Press the ENTER button.
6. Select PV with the PV/SV button to observe the actual temperature. Allow temperature to
equilibrate for a minimum of 30 to 45 minutes.
2.7.2 Adjusting the P-I-D Parameters
In the event that the control parameters must be changed or in the event that a new controller is installed,
it must be reprogrammed to suit the thermal characteristics of the instrument. It is recommended that the
Auto Tune function be used to set the control functions if reprogramming is necessary.
The following table is a guide to the approximate values for setting the parameters that will produce the
initial settings for the autotune function. Below is a summary of the autotune procedure, refer to the Fuji
Manual for more detailed information.
To perform Auto Tune function, set the parameter A7 to 1, then press ENTER.
The controller will begin the autotune process, which takes several minutes. The decimal point at the
lower right of the display will blink, indicating the controller is autotuning. During the process, the
temperature may oscillate ±100oC or more. When the process is completed, the decimal point will stop
blinking.
NOTE:
It is normal for the ceramic heating element to emit a red glow
at the operating temperature.
