1.0 Preface
1.1 Description of the UserIsokinetic source sampling is intended to be performed by technicians who have been trained in source sampling methods. Personnel conducting source sampling are expected to understand the theory of isokinetic source sampling, including basic gas laws and chemistry.
! DANGER
In addition, all technicians should have adequate general safety training as well as site specific training to identify, abate, and prevent job related hazards including site specific training.
1.2 Purpose of this manual
The purpose of this manual is to provide a basic understanding of the Apex Instruments Isokinetic XD-502 Source Sampling Console. The XD-502 is applicable for use with a variety of US EPA Isokinetic Sampling Methods.
Additionally, this manual provides the users with a reasonable amount of reference information on system configuration, calibration procedures, maintenance and troubleshooting referencing the specific product and the US EPA Regulations.
For more information about isokinetic sampling, see our reference materials (Isokinetic Sampling Handbook or the 450 Sampling Student Manual).
Isokinetic Sampling
The first four source test reference methods are applied before conducting Method 5. If prior data is available or reasonably good assumptions can be made, not all of the methods need to be conducted. If you look at the isokinetic rate equation and the nozzle diameter equation, you can see that there are a number of parameters that must be followed before one can proceed with isokinetic sampling.
US EPA Method Descriptions:
Method 1 Determination of Sampling Location and Traverse PointsMethod 2 Determination of Stack Gas Velocity and Volumetric Flow-ratesMethod 3 Determination of Dry Molecular Weight and Percent Excess AirMethod 4 Determination of Moisture ContentMethod 5 Determination of Particulate Matter Emissions from Stationary Sources
Detailed information on method sampling may be found through the US EPA website - please visit http://www.epa.gov/emc-tests-methods/ for complete method descriptions.

2.3 System OverviewNOTE: This manual covers the sampling console part of the train. The rest of the console is sold separately.
The first step to effective sampling is to familiarize yourself with the standard equipment. To illustrate the necessary components of source sampling, we’ve included an overview of the six main components of the Apex Instruments Source Sampling Train.
The main components of an Isokinetic Sampling system are: probe assembly, filter oven, impinger case, umbilical, sampling pump, and the console.
2.3.1 Probe Assembly
Includes a probe sheath, probe liner, tube heater, Type-S pitot tubes, nozzle, stack and probe Type K thermocouples. The probe nozzle draws in sample from the source effluent and the probe sheath protects the heated probe liner.
2.3.2 Heated Filter Oven (Hot Box)
The insulated, heated filter oven contains the filter assembly to collect particulate from the gas sample while preventing condensation of moisture within the sample.
2.3.3 Impinger Case (Cold Box)
The impinger serves the purpose of preventing the moisture from entering the console. The case includes a durable, foam-insulated, drainable reservoir with a pre-punched foam insert for positioning and holding the impinger bottles in place. The ice lowers the sample gas temperature which causes condensation inside the impingers. Moisture and other condensables are trapped for gravimetric or chemical analysis. The sample gas exits the last impinger and passes through a check valve designed to eliminate back pressure.
2.3.4 Umbilical Cable
Connects the impinger case and heated filter oven assembly to the source sampling console and includes the sample line, two pitot lines, 5 type K thermocouples, a power output line, and a spare orsat line.
2.3.5 Sampling Console
The sampling console houses the dry gas meter, internal sampling pump, temperature controllers, differential pressure measurement devices, flow adjustment valves and a user interface display.
Some sampling trains use an external pump assembly to pull the sample. An external pump is not necessary when a console, like the XD-502, uses an internal sampling pump to pull the sample.
Sample gas enters the console through the umbilical, passes through a filter to remove any foreign matter, then through the pump and dry gas meter, and exits the system through a calibrated orifice tube. The calibrated orifice tube is connected to the differential pressure measurement device to allow the user a

reference of sample gas flow. The ∆P reading is then compared to the ∆H and flow is adjusted to maintain an isokinetic sampling rate.
The console is housed in a strong and durable polyethylene case with a carrying strap on top.

3.0 Safety Instructions 4.0 Audit and Leak Checks with the XD-502
4.1 Transducer Calibration CheckThe Transducers on the XD-502 Electronics Package are high resolution, digital ultra low pressure sensors. The operational range of the transducers are 1”, 5” and 10” H2O with an accuracy of 0.25% FSS BFSL (full scale span, best fit straight line). All error compensation is performed internally by an advanced ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) Therefore, no external calculation/calibration is required. When a calibration check is required by EPA method regulations it is recommended that a NIST-traceable, handheld manometer be utilized to verify the transducers are within regulation.
Check the calibration of the transducer at a minimum of three points approximately representing the range of ∆P values in the stack. The ∆P values, as read by the transducer and NIST device, must agree to within 5 percent for each point for the transducer to be considered within proper calibration. The following pages provide the procedures for conducting Transducer Calibration Checks.

13. Connect the digital manometer tubing to the ∆H+ tee and to the P1 port on the manometer as shown. (See Figure 4-13)
14. SLOWLY push the plunger on the syringe to approximately 5ml. The digital manometer reading should match the console ∆H reading. Repeat procedure at 10ml and 15ml. The readings between the ∆H display and the digital manometer should match indicating there are no leaks and the transducers have passed audit. (See Figures 4-14a, 4-14b and 4-14c)

16.2.2.1.1 “Before calibrating the meter box, leak check the system as follows: Fully open the coarse adjust valve, and completely close the by-pass valve. Plug the inlet. Then turn on the pump, and determine whether there is any leakage. The leakage rate shall be zero (i.e., no detectable movement of the DGM dial shall be seen for 1 minute).”
16.2.2.1.2 “Checkalsoforleakagesinthatportionofthesamplingtrainbetweenthepumpandtheorificemeter.See section 8.4.1 for the procedure; make any corrections, if necessary. If leakage is detected, check for cracked gaskets, loosefittings,wornO-rings,etc.,andmakethenecessaryrepairs.”

4.3 Console Leak Check Procedure (Vacuum Side)
NOTICE
DO NOT EXCEED THE TRANSDUCER PRESSURE RATING OF 100 INCHES OF H2O. DOING SO MAY RESULT IN OPERATIONAL SENSOR FAILURE
1. Go to Leak Test screen and position the valves
- Press Insert Note button on the console and use the up and down arrows to select the Leak Test. - Close the coarse valve by turning the handle right to
horizontal position. - Increase the fine tune knob fully by turning all the way to
the right (clockwise).
2. Block airflow of sample inlet
- Insert a capped quick-connect into the sample quick-connect 1/2” inlet.
3. Initiate flow
- Turn on the pump, then open the coarse valve (twist to vertical position).
4. Adjust vacuum (if necessary)
- If your vacuum is below 15” Hg (380mm) slowly increase the fine tune knob until the vacuum reading is at least 15”Hg (380mm).

5. Run the test
- Start the timer and monitor the DGM flow for 1 minute. If the flow through the DGM exceeds 0.02 CFM (0.00057m3/min or 4% of average sample rate) the leaks must be found and corrected.
6. Run second test
- Turn off the pump. Monitor the vacuum for one minute. If the vacuum decreases any amount, then you have a leak somewhere between the plugged QC and the vacuum sensor.
7. Stop the test
- Remove the plug from the sample inlet.

4.4 Pre-Calibration Leak Test for Consoles with a Diaphragm Pump
Apex Instruments recommends the following procedure to be followed for conducting a “back-side” leak check:
10.3.1.1 (Method 5) “Before calibrating the metering system, it is suggested that a leak check be conducted. For metering systems having diaphragm pumps, the normal leak-check procedure will not detect leakages within the pump.
For these cases the following leak-check procedure is suggested:
Makea10-minutecalibrationrunat0.00057m³/min(0.020cfm).Attheendoftherun,takethedifferenceofthemeasuredwettestmeterandDGMvolumes.Dividethedifferenceby10(numberofminutesinthecalibration run) to get the leak rate. The leak rate should not exceed 0.00057 m³/min (0.020 cfm).”
The calibrated critical orifice to be used for this procedure is #09.
