A change is in the air.New iSeries Gas Analyzers.Easier to interface.Easier to maintain.Easier to use.Analyze • Detect • Measure • ControlTMBroader connectivity?Easier maintenance?More uptime? Easy. Easy. Easy.Look for us at the first sign of trouble in the air.Since 1970 and the original Clean Air Act,Thermo Electron Corporation has beenserving the regulatory and industrial safetycommunities with high-dependabilitymonitoring solutions. Today, we offerthe industry’s widest choice of air qualityinstruments and systems — solutionsthat add flexibility and convenience tothe detection of a broad range of targetedgaseous and aerosol pollutants. Our newest line of iSeries analyzers isbuilt for reliable continuous-duty fieldoperation. They’re designed for easiermaintenance that’s faster to perform.So they’re available and accurate inrecording the data you need, when you need it.Dependability is everything.Our customers count on Thermo instrumentation to help them know, withcertainty, what’s in their sample. Nomatter what the reason for monitoring,we understand Thermo solutions mustdeliver quality results, performance andappropriate reporting capabilities youcan confidently depend on. That’s why every Thermo product isrigorously engineered for rock-solid reliability. Uptime is built right into thedesign, with easy access to components,simplified on-site maintenance, and maximum parts interchangeability. Andif you should ever need a hand withtroubleshooting or service, our technicalsupport team is ready to jump when you call.Prove it.These days, data management hasbecome as important as monitoring. Ifyou need to be in compliance, you haveto be able to prove it. That means havingall the connectivity options you need tointegrate your monitoring data into yourfacility’s data management system ordistributed control system. And softwarethat works for you, rather than the otherway around.Introducing the iSeries gas analyzers.We created the industry’s new best-of-breed. Our customers told us exactlywhat they’re looking for in a monitoringsolution: reliability, simplicity, ease ofuse. The new iSeries platform delivers onall counts — and then goes a step further.23All the data you need — at a glance.With a freshly redesigned user interface and quick, easy operation andprogramming, the new iSeries platformputs information and control right atyour fingertips. Plus, the larger, moreintuitive display makes information easier to instantly understand. Digital output card – Includes 10 relays for alarms and status outputs.Optional I/O expansion card provides an additionalsix 0-20/4-20mA analog outputs, and eight 0-10Vanalog channels that accept input from external sensors.Web-based remote access –Now you can check system status from the road or from home — from anywhere there’s a connection to the Internet.New flash memory –Provides increased storage and user downloadable software.4The new iSeries platform has been engineered to deliver the three thingsthat are most important to you: reliability, simplicity, and useability. Rugged, plant-proven components,advanced electronics, and operator-friendly software come together in a flexible, easy-to-service package that establishes a new benchmarkfor gas analysis instrumentation.The new iSeries: Every operation says easy.Easier to interface.Optimized component layout –Minimizes the need to remove other componentsin order to get at the one you’re servicing. Ethernet port –Built-in Ethernet connectivity enables easynetworking with existing control and data management systems, as well as convenientbrowser-based remote access.Enhanced I/O functionality –16 digital inputs, 10 digital outputs, 6 analog outputs, and 8 analog inputs allow for collection of data from external sensors.Two RS-232/485 serial connectors –Software-programmable for RS-232 or RS-485 with software-selectable baud rate, single portcan be daisy-chained for system operation.Power failure relay –Send an alert to a data system or DCS.Expanded I/O functionality and newconnectivity capabilities make it easyto integrate iSeries instruments into just about any plant operation and data flow. They support MODBUS andTCP/IP protocols and the iPort customremote communications software package. The new line of instrumentsis also backward-compatible with ourearlier generation analyzers, and fitsright into your current product lineup.5Menu screen. A single click puts you in menumode, with all key setup parameters instantlyavailable, while primary screen data remainsvisible.Primary screen. All critical information appearson the main monitoring screen, includingsample concentrations, instrument mode, and alarm status.Programmable soft-keys. You can easilyprogram soft-keys which allow you to jumpdirectly to frequently accessed functions,menus, or screens.The redesigned iSeries interface iseasier to use than ever. With fast, intuitive navigation and simple, menu-driven programming, the software iseasy to learn — even for inexperiencedoperators. And — because all our iSeries analyzersshare a common look and feel — onceyou’ve learned one instrument, you’velearned them all.The iSeries has been re-engineered with on-site serviceability in mind. All components are readily accessible for quick maintenance or change-out —just remove the top, slide apart theinterior sections, flip down the panel,and you have complete access. From one gas to another, the analyzersshare a similar design and manycommon components — so they’re notonly easier to service, it’s easier to trainyour service people. You’ll save on spare parts inventory, too.Of course, Thermo technical specialistsare only a phone call away if you needservice back-up, or just want to talkthrough a problem.Improved design for easy service access –Simply remove the top with the captive thumb-screws. The unit then slides apart into two sections. Then, the interior dividing panel foldsdown, giving easy access to all components.Compatible with your current equipment – Sized to fit large standard EIA cabinet.Easier to maintain.
