Safety instructions
DANGER
Explosion hazard
Explosion hazard due to leaking combustion gas in the gas
analyzer.
• The leak tightness of the combustion gas supply line
outside the gas analyzer as well as the combustion gas
path in the gas analyzer must be checked regularly.
• The relevant safety regulations for working with combustion
gases must be complied with!
• The screwed connections of the gas paths in the gas analyzer
may not be opened! The gas paths can become leaky as a
result.
– However, if the screwed connections of the gas paths in
the gas analyzer have been opened (only by trained
personnel), a leak tightness test must be performed
using a hydrogen detector (for example, based on
thermal conductivity) must always be carried out after
they have been sealed again. The leakage rate must not
exceed 10
-4
hPa⋅l/s.
• The lines and fittings must be clean and free of any residues
(for example, particles left from manufacturing)!
– Contaminants can enter the analyzer and damage it or
lead to false measurement results!
Notes
• The installation of gas connections is described in
the fittings on the gas analyzer
• Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions for the
fittings! In particular, hold the male fittings (gas
connections) in place when connecting the gas lines.
• When laying and connecting the gas lines, adhere to the
installation instructions provided by the manufacturers of
the piping!
• If gas lines made of stainless steel are connected to the
analyzer modules, the lines must be connected to the
building-side potential equalization.
• Never connect more than three analyzer modules in a series!

The numbering of the gas connections corresponds to the
numbering in
and
the rear of the gas analyzer.
Instrument Air Connection
The instrument air is used as propulsion air for the air jet
injector, and as purging air for the housing purging, see
Connect the instrument air line to the instrument air inlet

of
the gas analyzer via a pressure regulator (0 to 6 bar).
Combustion air connection
Connect. the combustion air line to the combustion air inlet
35
of the gas analyzer via a pressure regulator (0 to 1.6 bar).
