  • Page 10 The majority of the time the ACM 150 monitor is operating, it is sampling ambient air without toxics. In the event of a toxic gas release at one of the sample points for the monitor, small amounts of toxic gas and/or residue may be trapped inside the sample tubing, filters and pumps inside the monitor.
  • Page 11 ACM 150 Electrical safety Tools are required to access sections of the ACM 150 monitor with electrical connections. An appropriately sized ball driver or allen wrench is required to access the interior portions of the enclosure. A Phillips screwdriver is required to access the power cords at the AC power distribution unit, located immediately behind the computer door.
  • Page 12 ACM 150 Hazardous Energy Isolation The ACM 150 monitor uses both high pressure CDA (compressed clean dry air up to 100 psig) and low pressure (5 psig) nitrogen. Both of these energies may be stored inside the monitor and must be relieved before performing any maintenance work involving the pneumatics.

    The air sample spectra collected by the ACM 150 monitor contains all of the identifying absorption peaks of the gases that make up that air sample. However, the ACM 150 monitor will only report the gases that are set up as active for that sample area.
  • Page 41 Use of the background spectrum It is critical that calibrations taken on one ACM 150 are valid for computing accurate concentrations on any other ACM 150. In that way, calibration spectra are valid for all ACM 150s and older models as well. This is accomplished by using a reference(or background) spectrum to which each analysis spectrum is ratioed.

    Most likely, the in-line filter on that point needs to be replaced. To make sure the problem is not inside the ACM 150 monitor, disconnect the sample tube(s) from the problem point(s). If you observe that the Fill Cycle goes to 0 psig in 1-2 seconds with the line disconnected, assume the restriction is at the in-line filter or the sample tubing (or the check valve if the line leak option is used).
  • Page 127 View Valve Cycles, Figure Continue to observe the Sample Vacuum as the ACM 150 monitor scans through all of its active points. Minor fluctuations from one point to the next are normal. If you notice a significant increase in vacuum above normal at one or more point, suspect a flow restriction.

    Nearly all chemicals have an IR absorbance spectrum, which is always the same and unique for each chemical. The FTIR spectra have a high resolution which enables the distinct identification of one chemical from the another. The ACM 150 monitor only monitors for chemicals in their gas (vapor) phase.
  • Page 151 Pounds per square inch gauge, pressure relative to atmospheric pressure at sea level. The ACM 150 monitor reports concentration values for gases in parts per million (PPM) and parts per hundred thousand (PPHT) (water vapor only). A pure gas would have a value of 100% concentration (by volume). One part in one million (1 PPM) is 0.0001% or 100% divided by 1 million.
