1. INTRODUCTION:
Methyl bromide is a highly specific fumigant used to control a number of pests in a wide range of agricultural and horticultural crops and in wood products. Its primary application is for quarantine treatment, soil fumigation and post harvest protection. Fumigation is generally carried out by covering the commodities within a leak proof enclosure and applying methyl bromide at a concentration ranging from 50 mg/l to 150 mg/lit. As a process control measure it is necessary to monitor the gas concentration at various stages of fumigation. For this application FumiSense ( Uniphos-251(PM)F ) the fumigation gas monitor is the right choice. This manual gives the full description of FumiSense and its operation, calibration, maintenance and other relevant information. 1.1. INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION: FumiSense is a microprocessor based instrument for the measuring the methyl bromide gas in the concentration range of 0 200 mg/l. The instrument is specially designed for monitoring the gas concentration in the fumigation silo or container. The air sample from the fumigation silo / container is brought to the sensor by means of the inbuilt air-sampling pump of the instrument. A dust filter is placed in the inlet of the gas sample line to prevent dust particles entering the instrument. Being a microprocessor based unit it has data logging facility and it can store data such as gas concentration along with the silo/ container serial number, godown number etc. with real time clock. There is also provision to download the stored data on computer or serial printer. The instrument works on inbuilt 14.8 V/ 4 Ah capacity Li-Ion rechargeable batteries. 1.2. WORKING PRINCIPLE: The FumiSense is equipped with Thermal conductivity sensor for the detection of Methyl Bromide gas. Thermal conductivity sensor: It consists of a pair of thermal conductivity detectors secured in the gas-sampling hood made up of brass. The two detectors form the two arms of a wheat stones bridge, which is balanced in clean air. An out of balance signal is generated when one of the detectors is

placed in sample air containing Methyl Bromide. This occurs due to thermal conductivity difference between clean air and air containing Methyl Bromide. The out of balance signal, which is proportional to the Methyl Bromide concentration in the sample air is digitized and displayed on the digital display of the monitor.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE DIFFERENT KEYS, KNOBS etc ON FRONT AND REAR PANEL:
The instrument has got four membrane keys viz. UP, DN, SET & ENTER, one knob, two LEDs, LCD display, Power on/off switch etc. on the front panel and pair of gas inlet/outlet ports, RS232 socket, battery charging socket, a potentiometer for MBr coarse tuning etc. on the rear panel. Figures 1 & 2 give the layout of the front panel and rear panel. The various functional keys, knobs etc. are numbered and described in the following paragraphs.
