Installation

WARNING !

  • The VOXI is currently not certified for use in hazardous gas locations. Install this unit only in an area known to be free of combustible gases and vapors.
  • Before installation, ensure that all power is disconnected.
  • Before removing the monitor cover for service, disconnect the power supply and ensure that the area free of combustible gases and vapors.
  • For European locations, installation must comply with EN-60079-14.
  • The instrument should be calibrated after installation before initial use and checked by exposing it to a known concentration calibration on a regular basis.
  • Remove the sensor only if necessary for repair. Zero and span calibration are required once the sensor is moved.

3.1 Mounting
3.1.1 Mounting Location
For safety and ease of maintenance, the VOXI should be installed in a non- hazardous-gas location.*1 Extension tubing of up to 100 feet (30 m) can be attached to the inlet to allow remote mounting if the sampling location contains flammable or toxic gas mixtures.
3.1.2 Mechanical Mounting Options
The VOXI is designed for wall mount or pole mount using the screw-holes provided, centered 5.25 inches or 134 mm apart. If mounted outdoors, ensure that the gas inlet is directed downwards to minimize the chance of precipitation being drawn into the PID.

1*Future VOXI versions that have certifications will be able to be installed and operated in hazardous-gas locations, but because the housing cannot be opened for service in the presence of flammable gases, the VOXI is easier to maintain if installed in a non-hazardous location or one that can be vented to remove hazardous gases before opening the housing.
An optional mounting bracket (P/N M008-3004-000) is available that allows the unit to be offset about 1 cm from the wall or pole.mPower Electronics MP812
Fixed Photo-ionization Detectors - User’s Guide 3.2 Rain Cap
If mounted outdoors, the rain cap can be installed to further reduce the chance of precipitation ingress. This cap also allows connection of tubing to the gas outlet if it is desired to vent the exhaust away from the VOXI instrument. 3.3 Electrical Connections
Two conduit holes are provided in the explosion-proof housing, one covered by a hex-head plug and the other for wire connections. To unscrew and remove the cover, first loosen the lock screw located on the side, using a Allen wrench. Pinch the buckles on both sides of the instrument assembly to release and then lift it out. Unplug the three terminal block plugs on the PC board.mPower
Electronics MP812 Fixed Photo-ionization Detectors - Electrical
ConnectionsThe schematic below shows the internal wiring connections. Insert the wire through the conduit hole and connect to the corresponding pin numbers of the three terminal blocks on the bottom of the assembly. These blocks accept 12AWG to 24AWG wire (0.2 to 4.0 mm 2 ). Input power requirements are <5W, 12-30 VDC and should be connected between Terminals 14-GND and 15-V+. An external ground wire (AWG11 recommend) must be connected to the VOXI housing.mPower Electronics MP812 Fixed Photo-ionization Detectors -
fig2Alarm outputs on Terminals 6-9 are normally-open dry contacts that close on alarm. The 4-20 mA output should be connected to Terminals 13 and 14. RS485 should be connected to terminals 10 & 12, and terminal 11 is for the RS485 shielding line. The +V terminals 5 and 15 are equivalent and internally connected, as are GND terminals 11 and 14.
3.3.1 Baseline 4 mA Signal Adjustment
If sending the 4-20 mA signal to a remote controller, during the field installation the VOXI analog output should be adjusted. See VOXI Field Service section below for procedures.
3.3.2 MODBUS Message RTU Framing
The VOXI uses RTU framing for MODBUS messages. The following is an excerpt of the MODBUS over Serial Line Specification and Implementation Guide v1.02 (Dec.2006) with more information available at http://www.modbus.org/ and http://www.modbus.org/specs.php :
A MODBUS message is placed by the transmitting device into a frame that has a known beginning and ending point. This allows devices that receive a new frame to begin at the start of the message, and to know when the message is completed. Partial messages must be detected and errors must be set as a result. In RTU mode, message frames are separated by a silent interval of at least 3.5 character times. In the following sections, this time interval is called t3,5.mPower Electronics MP812 Fixed Photo-ionization Detectors - RTU
Framing

The entire message frame must be transmitted as a continuous stream of characters. If a silent interval of more than 1.5 character times occurs between two characters, the message frame is declared incomplete and should be discarded by the receiver.mPower Electronics MP812 Fixed Photo-ionization
Detectors - RTU FramingRemark : The implementation of RTU reception driver may imply the management of a lot of interruptions due to the t1.5 and t3.5 timers. With high communication baud rates, this leads to a heavy CPU load. Consequently these two timers must be strictly respected when the baud rate is equal or lower than 19200 Bps. For baud rates greater than 19200 Bps, fixed values for the 2 timers should be used: it is recommended to use a value of 750 µs for the inter-character time-out (t1.5) and a value of 1.750 ms for
inter-frame delay (t3.5)

Operation Overview

4.1 Standard Operation
Once installed and power is turned on, the VOXI runs continuously to measure VOCs, display the concentration readout and any alarms (flashing LEDs), and send any output and alarm signals connected to external devices. The pump runs intermittently when VOCs are below 500 ppb, in order to extend the life of the filters and the pump itself, but runs continuously above this threshold. The VOXI has an on-board heater which turns on at low temperature to reduce the possibility of condensation in the PID sensor. Both the VOC threshold and temperature threshold are set at the factory and cannot be adjusted by the user. Other operating parameters are set with a remote programming device.

4.2 Programming and Calibration
Configuring and calibrating the VOXI can be done using either 1) a mobile phone or tablet for the full range of settings or 2) the handheld remote programmer for a more limited set of parameters. There is no magnetic key or other means of programming the VOXI directly.
WARNING !

  •  VOXI VOC monitoring is turned off during communication with external devices.
  • An intrinsically safe mobile device may be needed for use in hazardous gas locations. Otherwise, perform programming and calibrations only during times known to be free of combustible gases and vapors.

Operations By Mobile Phone or Tablet

5.1 Hardware and Software Requirements
An external mobile phone or tablet is required as a controller to program operating parameters.
Currently Android 6.0 or higher platforms are supported. Updating to the latest Android version is common practice and recommended. Use an Ex (Intrinsically safe) Android device if operating in hazardous environments. Operation requires the mPower Suite Android App. If not already installed, it can be downloaded at https://www.mpowerinc.com/software-downloads/ . The Controller allows users to:

  • Get and set VOXI configurations
  • Perform calibrations
  • Adjust the analog 4-20 mA output baseline
  • Adjust the pump stop threshold
  • Join an mLink wireless system

5.1.1 Supported Languages
English and Chinese.
5.2 Connecting the VOXI to the Mobile Device
The system communicates wirelessly using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signals when within 10 m (33 feet) distance.

  1. To connect start the App, click on to search for nearby devices, and click the device name.
  2. Repeat to connect all the instruments. Up to 8 instruments can be connected to one Android device.

fig124 5.4.1 Calibration

  1. Initiate a Zero Calibration by clicking on the icon. When prompted, supply clean air to the inlet and click ‘Yes’ to start the count-down timer. If the VOXI is mounted in an areawhere ambient air contains detectable VOCs, provide a clean air source a) by attaching a charcoal filter, b) attaching a gas bag (e,g, Tedlar bag) filled with about 1 liter of clean air from a cylinder®, or c) clean air directly from a cylinder fitted with either a demand-flow regulator or a fixed-flow regulator of about 0.5 LPM.
  2. Before zero or span calibration, it is good practice to examine the water trap filter and large secondary filter inside the housing for cleanliness and replace as needed.
  3. Initiate a Span Calibration by clicking on the icon. When prompted, supply span gas to the inlet and click ‘Yes’ to start the count-down timer. Span gas can be supplied either from a gas bag (e,g, Tedlar bag) filled to at least 1 liter, or directly from a gas cylinder fitted with either a demand-flow regulator or a fixed-flow regulator of about 0.5 LPM. ®
  4. The Zero or Span Calibration can be aborted at any time during the countdown by click on the gas bottle icon again while it is red.
  5. Use of fixed-flow regulators below 0.5 LPM or above about 0.6 LPM will cause poor calibration. A regulator with flow higher than 0.6 LPM can be used if an open T fitting is placed in line between the regulator and VOXI inlet to allow excess gas flow to escape without being forced through the instrument.
  6. The Calibration Interval must be defined by the user because it depends on the application and local conditions. We recommend starting with weekly bump tests to check the response of the PID and need for filter changes, and then increasing the length of time between checks and calibrations as experience is gained in the application. We recommend no longer than 6-month intervals between calibrations.

5.4.3 Configure 4 mA Output Baseline
If sending the 4-20 mA signal to a remote controller, during the field installation the VOXI analog output baseline should be adjusted. Click the button under “4 mA” to set the output. The default values are 520 counts for 4 mA (0 ppm) and 2630 counts for full scale. Click the increase and/or decrease buttons to adjust the raw count output (sent to the VOXI immediately) to read 4 mA on the controller with no gas present. 5.4.4 Wireless Registration
The VOXI can be connected (registered) to a wireless network for communication up to 2 miles (3 km) away using an mLink modem. First, put the mLink in the “Register Device” mode (NOTE: this requires a separate mobile phone or tablet dedicated to the mLink). Then click the “Start Register” button on the App to register this VOXI to the mLink. Registration should be completed immediately, and the results displayed in the pane to the right of the button. mPower

Maintenance

The VOXI requires regular filter replacement and possibly lamp & sensor cleaning if used in areas of high dust or condensation. The pump may also need service and the expected replacement period is about 2 years.
7.1 Replacing Filters
If the external filter is dirty or clogged, remove it by unscrewing it from the inlet. Discard it and replace it with a new water-trap filter. Dirty filters can be recognized by symptoms such as:

  • Visible filter discoloration
  • Visible moisture accumulation
  • Frequent pump stalls

We recommend filter replacement at least every month for instruments that are used regularly, and more frequently, possibly daily, when used under very dusty or wet conditions.

7.2.2 Lamp Cleaning and Changing

  1. Remove the Sensor Cap and pull the sensor straight out, using a slight rocking motion if necessary.

  2. Put on finger gloves and pull out the lamp. It may help to use fine tweezers; if so, do this very carefully so as not to damage the lamp. Insert a new lamp, or clean the existing lamp as described below. 3. Use a cotton swab wetted with methanol to clean the flat window surface of the lamp. If greasy dirt is hard to remove using methanol, the window can be polished using fine alumina powder polishing paste. 4. Use a clean tissue to wipe the lamp window again. 5. Re-insert the cleaned lamp, plug in the sensor and replace the sensor cap and VOXI cover.mPower Electronics MP812 Fixed Photo-ionization Detectors - Lamp Cleaning and Changing46. Always re-calibrate the PID after cleaning the lamp and/or sensor.

7.2.3 Sensor Cleaning

  1. Unscrew the sensor cover and pull the sensor straight out, using a slight rocking motion if necessary.mPower Electronics MP812 Fixed Photo-ionization Detectors - Sensor Cleaning

  2. Put the sensor into a beaker and cover it with pure methanol or ethanol. It is not recommended to take apart the sensor for cleaning. For extreme fouling or corrosion, it is best to replace the sensor.mPower Electronics MP812 Fixed Photo-ionization Detectors - Sensor Cleaning1

  3. Put the beaker into an ultrasonic cleaning bath and sonicate for 15 minutes. Take out sensor and dry it, preferably using a gentle stream of clean air to blow the residual liquid out of the sensor.

  4. Always re-calibrate the PID after cleaning the sensor.

7.3 Pump Cleaning or Replacement
The pump may be cleaned using the Pump Rebuild Kit (see parts list at end of this manual), or replaced as needed.
7.3.1 Pump Access

  1. Open the housing and remove the cover and circuit board/LCD assembly, and slide the blue PID assembly away from the gas inlet, as described above for lamp and sensor access. Disconnect the 3 wiring plugs 2. Unscrew the 4 screws holding down the bracket that holdthe PID and pump assemblies, disconnect the black tubing from the pump and lift out the entire assembly. 3. Unscrew the screw holding the pump to its bracket. A pin still holds the pump partially in place.mPower Electronics MP812 Fixed Photo-ionization Detectors - Replacement 24. Unscrew the two screws holding the smaller PID/pump bracket to the larger main bracket. To access the screw underneath the pump, rotate the pump away on the pin still holding it in place. 5. Remove the bracket and lift the pump off the retaining pin.

7.3.2 Pump Cleaning

To clean the pump, loosen the 4 screws holding together the pump (Phillips head)

In extreme cases it is necessary toreplace the pump diaphragm, or simply replace the entire pump.mPower Electronics MP812 Fixed Photo-ionization
Detectors - 2Remove and separate the two pump gasket blocks. Wipe clean the pump gasket. It may help to remove it (very carefully to avoid damage) and clean both sides. In some cases it helps to rotate it. If damaged or deformed, replacethe gasket. When reassembling, align pins with sockets. New gaskets are flat on both sides, but used ones develop groves caused by the gasket sealing ridge. If re-using a gasket place the grooved side back facing the sealing ridge

7.4 LCD or Circuit Board Replacement
The entire LCD/Circuit board assembly may be replaced as a unit, or they may be separated and replaced individually, as follows:

  1. Open the housing and remove the cover and circuit board/LCD assembly as described above for lamp and sensor access. Disconnect the 3 wiring plugs.
  2. To remove the circuit board, push back the two black retaining clips found on opposite sides. Disconnect the LCD ribbon by sliding out the two black clamps on either side and then pull out the ribbon. Push back clips
  3. On the reverse side, use a flat tool wedge to lift off the PCBA cable, to separate the PCBA from the plastic LCD assembly.
