INTRODUCTION

The Flame Ionisation 2000 (FI2000) is used for generalhydrocarbon detection and leak location in the gasindustry. It combines quality, ruggedness and advancedGMI technology in a user friendly portable flameionisation detector.

Two ranges (SEARCH and CENTER) allow a number ofsurvey activities to be undertaken and gas concentrationsmonitored.

The display provides an instant indication of changinggas concentrations and switchable backlighting allows theFI2000 to be used in poor lighting conditions.

The instrument’s high intensity audible alarm warns theuser if the preset gas alarm limits are exceeded.

2


The FI2000 provides auto ignition in the event of flameout with an audible operator warning, maximizingoperator safety and convenience.

FEATURES

• Two selectable ranges (SEARCH and CENTER).

• Keypad zeroing.

• Compact design and light weight.

• Adjustable alarm setpoints for each range.

• Backlit LCD for survey work in poor lightingconditions.

• Adjustable probe.

• 30 second start-up period.

• Adjustable probe.

• Auto Ignition - On start up and at flame out duringsurvey work. Flame out audible alarm and visualdisplay flag.

• Long battery life (four standard AA replaceablebatteries).

• Shoulder harness.

• Up to 5 hours usage from a rechargeable lecturebottle.

• Pressure gauge shows the amount of fuel remainingin the lecture bottle. The recommended minimumfuel level is 300 psi (21 bar).

3

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The three push buttons on the front panel (shown above)allow you to:

• Switch the instrument on or off.

• Switch the backlighting on or off.

• Select an operational range.

• Zero the instrument.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

4


• Set the alarm setpoints for each mode.

• Adjust the volume of the audible alarm.

For any switch press to take effect, the switch must bepressed and held until the LED indicator illuminatesbriefly. The display shows the current gas level andoperational/status information.

SEARCH RANGE

SEARCH range is designed to locate the general area ofthe gas leak. When SEARCH range is selected (SEARCHappears at the top of the display) the FI2000 can detect alevel of 1 ppm of gas in air.

SEARCH range has a user adjustable alarm setpoint. See“ALARM SETPOINTS” later in this section for furtherdetails.

5

CENTER RANGE

CENTER range is designed to help more accurately definethe source of the gas leak. CENTER range is normallyselected after the general leak area has been located usingthe SEARCH range.

When CENTER range is selected, CENTER appears atthe top of the display. The FI2000 can measure up to 800ppm of gas in air in CENTER range. Over 800 ppm, theFI2000 is not necessarily accurate.

CENTER range has a user adjustable alarm setpoint. See“ALARM SETPOINTS” later in this section for furtherdetails.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

6


ALARM SETPOINTS

SEARCH range and CENTER range each have a useradjustable alarm setpoint. See “ADJUSTING ALARMSETPOINTS” in the “BASIC OPERATION” section forfurther details. In the example below the SEARCH alarmsetpoint is currently set at 4 ppm and if the currentlymeasured gas value exceeds the alarm setpoint, theinstrument’s audible alarm sounds:

The alarm sounder automatically switches off when thecurrent gas level falls below the alarm setpoint. InSEARCH range the alarm sounder speeds up (that is, itsfrequency increases) as the gas level increases above theSEARCH alarm setpoint. In CENTER range the frequencyof the alarm sounder remains constant as the gas levelincreases above the CENTER range alarm setpoint.

7

FILTERS

Filters must always be installed before operating theFI2000. Two filters are required, a sintered filter whichscrew fits to the end of the probe and a dust filter fittedinside the probe housing assembly. Filters must bechecked and changed (if required) daily to ensure a cleansample reaches the instrument. If water is drawn into theinstrument any filter which has been contaminated mustbe replaced or cleaned. Replacement filters are availablefrom GMI. See “FILTER REPLACEMENT” in the“ OPERATOR MAINTENANCE” section, for furtherinformation.

PROBE

The integral probe can be used to carry out a generalsurvey sweep or to pinpoint leaks. The probe containsprotective filters and must always be connected whenoperating the FI2000.

BASIC OPERATION

OPERATING PROCEDURE

Check the following before using the instrument:

• You are familiar with its use and have been trainedin its application.

• Read and understand the SAFETY section at thefront of this Handbook before operating theinstrument.

• The instrument is clean and in good condition.

• The exhaust gauze assembly is secure, clean and ingood condition.

• The batteries are in good condition and fittedcorrectly.

• Filter(s) are clean and in good condition.

• The instrument probe and all accessories are ingood condition and suitable for use.

• The area that you intend to operate in is designatedas a non-hazardous area.

• The instrument is within the test period considerednecessary for the particular application.

BASIC OPERATION

12


Every time you use the instrument carry out thefollowing procedure:

• Attach the probe.

• Ensure that the operating procedures, detailedpreviously, are followed.

• Check that there is sufficient fuel in the lecturebottle for the intended use.

• Switch the instrument on in fresh air.

• Check that all gas ranges are operational and zeroedcorrectly.

OPERATING ADVICE

• Ensure that you are fully trained in the useof the FI2000 and your company operatingprocedures before use.

• Optimal operational efficiency and accuracy will beachieved after approximately 15 minutes from start-up. Potentially inaccurate readings may occur if theinstrument is utilised before the full 15 minutewarm-up period.

• The FI2000 ignition and warm-up period will bereduced where the instrument is protected fromextreme cold. Store the instrument in warmconditions whenever possible.

• Dragging the probe in wet grass may allow water tocollect in the probe causing flame-out.

13

• Dragging the probe in dusty areas or in newly cut orfertilised grass may cause false indications.

• The exhaust gauze will normally drip water or expelwater vapour. In some conditions this maycondense on the gauze and cause a flame-outcondition.

• In some conditions slight amounts of decayingvegetation may produce enough methane to triggerthe SEARCH alarm setpoint. By lifting theprobe this problem can be significantly reduced butthe sensitivity to small leaks will also be reduced.

BASIC OPERATION

14


SWITCHING THE INSTRUMENT ON

Warning: Always ensure that the exhaust gauzeassembly is clean and securely fitted before switchingthe instrument on.

Always switch the instrument on in fresh air. Open thegas cylinder valve (by turning it counter-clockwise), wait

for 10 seconds and then press the button once to

switch the instrument on. The instrument begins it’s start-up sequence.

Start-Up

During start-up (approximately 30 seconds) the LEDindicator illuminates, the audible alarm sounds, theFLAME flag flashes and the gas reading falls from areading of 10 towards 0:

15

Note: The instrument cannot be switched off duringstart-up.

When start-up is successfully completed, the LEDindicator is extinguished, the audible flame-out alarm issilenced, the FLAME flag disappears and the current gasreading is displayed. An example of a normal operatingdisplay is as follows:

Note: If there is no ignition at start up, i.e. if the flameflag continues to flash, check that there is sufficient fuelin the cylinder, check the battery condition, check thatthe filters are fitted and in good condition and check theexhaust port underneath the instrument for water deposits– clear by removing the exhaust filter and blowing withair.

If experiencing problems with ignition, block the inletfor approximately five seconds. This creates a richer fuelmixture for the ignitor.

BASIC OPERATION

16


Warm-Up

Optimal operational efficiency and accuracy are achievedafter approximately 15 minutes of switching on. This 15minute period is referred to as the warm-up period.

ZEROING

After warm-up is completed the instrument will requireto be zeroed before use. Zeroing the instrument ensuresthe display reads zero when no gas is present. Press and

hold the button to zero the instrument (that is, adjust

the display to read zero). This must be done in fresh air.

The following display may be shown if the reading isnegative. Zeroing will remove the negative indication.

SWITCHING THE BACKLIGHT ON/OFF

Double press the button to switch the backlight

ON. The backlight will remain on until it is switched offor until the instrument is switched off. Double press the

button to switch the backlight off.

17

Note: The duration of each button press must be longenough to illuminate the LED indicator on the front panel.

SELECTING AN OPERATIONAL RANGE

The FI2000 operates in two ranges. SEARCH range hasa detector range of approximately 0 to 20 ppm. CENTERrange has a detector range of 20 to approximately 800ppm (the instrument displays readings above this rangebut is not accurate over 800 ppm). The currently selected

range appears at the top of the display. Press the

button (during normal operation) to switch between theSEARCH and CENTER ranges.

SWITCHING THE INSTRUMENT OFF

Note: After switching the instrument off excess gas isburned off in the chamber and a hissing noise can be heardfor approximately 60 seconds.

Close the gas cylinder valve (by turning it clockwise).

Press the button once to switch the instrument off.

Warning: Always turn the gas cylinder supply off whenfinished using the FI2000.

BASIC OPERATION

18


ADJUSTING ALARM SETPOINTS

The FI2000 has both SEARCH and CENTER alarmsetpoints. Alarm setpoints for each range must be setseparately. The SEARCH range alarm switches on whenthe measured gas concentration reaches the alarm setpoint.The sound level and frequency increases as the measuredgas concentration increases above SEARCH range alarmsetpoint. The CENTER range alarm switches on whenthe measured gas concentration reaches the alarm setpointand has a fixed volume and frequency.

Note: The SEARCH setpoint alarm is set to 4 ppm on theSEARCH screen and the CENTER setpoint alarm is setto 0 ppm (disabled) as default when the instrument leavesthe factory.

To set the alarm setpoints, proceed as follows:

1) Press and (simultaneously) to enter

alarm setpoint mode, the numerical scale flashes:

19

Note: This always defaults to Search Alarm Setpointirrespective of the current operating range.

2) Press the button to reduce the alarm setpoint

or press to increase the alarm setpoint:

Note: Set the alarm setpoint to zero to disable the alarm.

3) Press the button to enter CENTER alarm

setpoint mode. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to set the alarmsetpoint for the remaining range or proceed to step4 to exit.

BASIC OPERATION

OPERATOR MESSAGES

BAT

The “BAT” flag flashes on the display when less than 30minutes operating time remains. Replace the batteriesimmediately. The “BAT” flag remains on constantly whenless than 10 minutes operating time remaining in thebatteries. See “REPLACING BATTERIES” in the“ OPERATOR MAINTENANCE” section for furtherdetails.

FLAME

The “FLAME” flag flashes on the display when theinstrument is switched on but the flame in the instrument’scombustion chamber is not ignited (this is known as flame-out). When flame-out occurs the instrument tries to re-ignite itself automatically. If the “FLAME” conditionpersists check the following:

• there is enough fuel in the lecture bottle, i.e. above300 psi (21 bar).

• the probe and probe filters are clean and in goodcondition.

• the “BAT” status.

• the exhaust gauze is clean, dry and in goodcondition.

OPERATOR MESSAGES

22


OPERATOR MAINTENANCE

FILTER REPLACEMENT

Filters in both the probe end piece and quick connectassembly minimise the danger of water and dust ingressinto the instrument. Filters should be checked regularlybefore using the instrument.

Sinter Filter

The sinter filter screw fits into the end of the probe.

Remove the sinter filter from the probe end piece using aflat bladed screw driver. Clean the filter by washing insoap and water and dry with oil free air. Check the probeis clean and dry and replace the sinter.

23

Fibre Filter

The fibre filter (part number 75096) is located within thequick connect assembly.

To replace the fibre filter, proceed as follows:

1) Unscrew the quick connect assembly (counterclockwise) and remove it from the FI2000, asshown below:

2) Remove the fibre filter from the quick connectassembly.

3) Clean the quick connect assembly to make sure thatit is free from dirt and water.

4) Fit a new fibre filter, if required.

5) Screw fit the quick connect assembly (clockwise)to the FI2000 and tighten hand-tight.


24


REPLACING BATTERIES

The FI2000 operates on 4 standard AA LR6 alkalinebatteries for approximately 30 hours (depending uponbattery type and flame ignitions). Zinc chloride batteriescan also be used but will provide a reduced life comparedwith alkaline batteries. Replace all four batteries whenthe BAT flag appears on the display.

To replace the batteries, proceed as follows:

1) Turn the FI2000 off.

2) Push the handle release upwards and swing thehandle back to open the battery compartment.

3) Remove the old batteries and install the newbatteries observing the correct polarity.

25

4) Close the handle ensuring that the handle releaseclicks into position.

REMOVING/REPLACING THE EXHAUST GAUZEASSEMBLY

The exhaust gauze prevents particulate mattercontaminating the ionisation chamber.

Warning: Always ensure the exhaust gauze assemblyis clean and fitted securely before switching theinstrument on.

1) Switch the instrument off.

2) Turn the lecture bottle valve off (clockwise) andwait for the reading on the fuel gauge to fall to zero.

3) Remove the exhaust gauze assembly by turning itcounter-clockwise (as shown):


26


4) Clean or replace the exhaust gauze assembly asnecessary.

5) Refit the exhaust gauze assembly.

Note: Fitting the exhaust gauze assembly is the reverse ofthe removal procedure. Tighten the assembly finger tight.

REMOVING/REPLACING THE LECTURE BOTTLE

The fuel gauge on the instrument reads approximately1750 psi (120 bar) when the gas bottle is fully charged.The gas bottle can be removed and refilled at any pressurereading, however it is good practice to refill the bottlebefore the reading falls below 300 psi (21 bar). Thisensures that no air is introduced into the bottle.

Warning: The FI2000 contains metal surfaces that maybecome hot. Take care when handling the instrument.

1) Switch the instrument off.

2) Turn the lecture bottle valve off (clockwise) andwait for the reading on the fuel gauge to fall to zero.

27

3) Loosen the knurled coupling nut from the lecturebottle (shown below):

5) Separate the lecture bottle from the instrument:


28


6) Loosen the hand wheel on the bottle clampingassembly (shown below):

7) Slide the lecture bottle from the clamping assembly(shown below):

8) Refit the lecture bottle. Fitting the lecture bottle isthe reverse of the removal procedure. Tighten theknurled coupling nut finger tight.

29

TESTING

The instrument has been set up for a particular flammablegas mixture. Where any doubt exists the instrument shouldbe returned to GMI or an authorised distributor for testing.

OPERATIONAL VALIDITY

Operational validity is the responsibility of the user. Undernormal operating conditions a 12 month period can beexpected. This is no guarantee, however, as the preciseapplication of the product is unknown to GMI. Individualcodes of practice may dictate shorter periods.

Regular checking establishes a pattern of reliability andenables the check period to be modified in line withoperational experience. The higher the risk, the morefrequently the instrument should be checked.
