INTRODUCTION, CAUTIONS, AND SPECIFICATIONS
The Teledyne API Opti-Sense 5200 is a state-of-the-art Non Dispersive InfraRed (NDIR)-
based sensor that is designed to monitor SIF4 (Silicon Tetrafluoride) concentration,
typically at sub-atmospheric pressure.
The OPTI-Sense unit is designed to be mounted vertically. Horizontal mounting is also
acceptable. Two KF16 fittings are provided to effectuate the pneumatic connections.
Electrical connections are on the rear panel of the instrument. Power and control signals
are applied through the DB15 connector. The RS-232 connector should be connected to a
laptop computer if the graphical user interface (GUI) will be used.
The OPTI-Sense 5200 can be used qualitatively three minutes after power up. For accurate
quantitative results, allow the unit to warm up for thirty minutes. The OPTI-Sense should
be allowed to warm up overnight for applications in which low drift is critical. Purge and
zero the instrument after the warm-up period is completed.
CAUTIONS
Please review these instructions carefully to ensure proper installation, operation and care
of the system to minimize the risk of personal injury or product damage due to improper
handling.
HAZARD: Toxic, Corrosive Gas
•
SIF4 (Silicon Tetrafluoride) is a toxic, corrosive, nonflammable
gas packaged at pressure up to 1000 psig. It has a sharp
suffocating odor. The gas is colorless but fumes white in moist
air. Hydrolyzes to very corrosive hydrofluoric acid on contact
with moisture. Can cause severe chemical burns if inhaled or
upon skin contact. When entering released area, wear self-
contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Fully protective suits
are required in large releases.
•
Install appropriate safety monitoring equipment wherever SIF4
is used.
•
Materials in contact with SIF4 should be suitable for such use.
316L Stainless, Barium Fluoride (BaF2), Teflon™, Chemraz™
are recommended.
WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard
When performing any maintenance to the unit, make sure all DC
power is disconnected from the unit
CAUTION: Risk of Damage to Instrument
Use only TAPI-recommended spare parts. Substitution parts could
result in damage to the equipment, may create hazardous
conditions, and will void the warranty.
