136  AO2000 CONTINUOUS GAS ANALYZERS  |  OI/AO2000-EN REV. B 
 
 
 
Operation 
Ready to perform measurements 
At the end of the warm-up phase the gas analyzer is ready to carry out 
measurements. 
Verify the calibration 
The gas analyzer is calibrated ex works. However, transport stresses and the 
pressure and temperature conditions at the installation site may influence 
the calibration. Thus it is recommended to verify the gas analyzer calibration 
at the installation location. 
Turn on the sample gas supply 
The sample gas supply should be turned on only after calibration. 
Adjusting sample gas flow rate 
 
Analyzer module  Sample gas flow rate 
Caldos25  10 to 90 l/h  (for option T90 < 6 s: max. 90 to 200 l/h) 
Caldos27  10 to 90 l/h  min. 1 l/h 
Fidas24  80 to 100 l/h  with atmospheric pressure (1000 hPa) 
Fidas24 NMHC  80 to 100 l/h  with atmospheric pressure (1000 hPa) 
Limas11 IR  20 to 100 l/h     
Limas21 UV  20 to 100 l/h     
Limas21 HW  20 to 90 l/h     
Magnos206  30 to 90 l/h     
Magnos28  30 to 90 l/h     
Magnos27  20 to 90 l/h     
Uras26  20 to 100 l/h     
ZO23  5 to 10 l/h  The flow rate must be kept constant to 
±0.2 l/h in this range. The sample gas 
must be taken from a bypass at zero 
pressure. 
Adjusting reference gas flow rate 
In the Caldos25 and Uras26 analyzer module versions with flowing reference 
gas, the sample gas flow rate and the reference gas flow rate must be set to 
the optimal value. 
For special applications of the Caldos25 the reference gas flow rate must be 
set to lower values down to 1 l/h.
