Calibrate the Unit
All units are calibrated at the Neutronics factory before shipping. However, it is recommended that the
Model 5100E be calibrated at commissioning, under ambient and process conditions similar to those
encountered while in-service. Refer to section 3.2.1 for detailed analyzer calibration instructions.
Helpful hint
The Model 5100E is configured-to-order, as specified by the user per the application. If the
application has changed, some adjustments in the system configuration may be necessary to optimize the
Model 5100E performance for the application. After reviewing the calibration instructions (section 3.2.1),
review the Certificate of Analysis supplied with the analyzer and verify that the current settings are suitable
for the application. Refer to Appendices E and F for all valid range and output settings available on the
Model 5100E. If any changes are necessary, they can be performed via the control panel (section 4.1.1) or
the service port (section 4.1.2).

Set Alarm-1 and Alarm-2
After the unit has been calibrated on known gas sources, set the alarm thresholds according to process
control requirements. Refer to Appendix C for factory settings.
2.2.3.1
Set Alarm-1
For process control applications, alarm-
1 is used normally as the “primary” oxygen
-level alarm, and is set to
the highest or lowest level of oxygen allowable in your process, according to the application. Refer to
section 3.2.2 for information about changing the alarm-1 level.
2.2.3.2
Set Alarm-2
For process control applications, alarm-
2 is used normally as the “secondary”, or “warning” oxygen
-level
alarm, and is set just below the highest, or just above the lowest level of oxygen allowable in your process,
according to the application. Refer to section 3.2.3 for information about changing the alarm-2 level.
The Model 5100E should now be ready for commissioning. Neutronics Inc. offers commissioning, and
Factory Acceptance Testing services by our qualified technicians. You may contact the Neutronics factory
at (610) 524-8800 and ask a Neutronics Service Technician to schedule a service call.
